Life After Death

Chapter 1: Fast forward

Two years later…

Jaime Martin was sitting on his bed as he watched the sun come up. He glanced over at the portrait that was now sitting on the table. Lucas sighed as he picked up the photo.

"Dad…I miss you…I wish you could be here today…Mommy said you would have been so proud of me…"

Today was the day that Lucas was going to finally graduate elementary school and make his way into Middle school. Jaime had picked up his parents brains and graduated at the top of the class. Lucas looked over to the diploma sitting on the bed. He had graduated earlier that night, and he only wished that his dad was there to cheer him on.

"Jamie?" Zack said as he walked into the room.

"Uncle Zack you here!" Jamie said as he threw his body into the waiting arms of Zack Martin.

"Your father would have been so proud of you buddy…" Zack said as he brought the small child into his lap as he sat on the bed.

"Do you really think so Uncle Zack?" The young 10 year old boy asked.

"Why wouldn't he be? You're the splitting image of your dad when he was your age…" Zack laughed.

"Wow…I never knew about that…" Jaime said.

"Well you are…And we're all proud of you buddy… And believe it or not, I know your dad would have been so happy to know that you graduated the top of the class just like him…" Zack said as he hugged the young boy.

"Thanks Uncle Zack…You always know what to say to make me feel better…" Jamie smiled.

"Hey…I promised your dad I would look after you and I'm doing my thing…Looking out for you, which also includes making you feel better…" Zack said.

"I think I'm going to go find Sarah and Johnny…They are so gonna get it…" Jamie said jumping off the bed.

The entire Martin family had moved into the mansion. Bailey's house was burned down the year before, so Zack simply told them that they were going to be moving into the mansion. Bailey and Jamie had been living in the mansion for about a good year and a half now. Bailey still kept her job as executive producer alongside Zack on the show. It turned out, Make it Shine was getting even better ratings then Two peas and a Pod. As Maya was happy, she was also a full time executive as well. The three adults were fulfilling their promise to Cody that they had made two years ago. And now, the Teen Channel picked up another show written by them three entitled Austin &Ally. The story of two best friends with two totally different personalities, who get crazily, discovered when one of them uploads Austin singing on the internet. The show was picked up on the spot, since they knew that it was going to be good. But, there was just something about this particular day that stopped the entire crew to stop working for one day. It was two years today that they had lost Cody to cancer. Zack walked over to the photo sitting on Jaime's bed and picked it up.

"Hey Cody…It's been two years…" Zack said as he felt a new batch of tears make his way down his face. "I don't know how I did it but, I got my life on track…But I still miss you a lot though…Man if you were here for Jaime's graduation, I know for a fact that you would have been the proudest father in that room… He really misses you buddy... I still miss you… I hope your happy up there…. Because I know that your looking down on us, and your doing a great job Cody…" Zack said as he held the picture close to his heart. "I will forever miss you buddy…"

In the courtyard, James and Jaime were having turns on the swing while Stephanie and Johnny were both up on the tree house. The twins were as close as Zack and Cody used to be. Zack couldn't help but feel sad. That was exactly how close he and Cody were when they were about there age, and he would do anything in his power to bring him back to life.

"So…Can you believe it's been two years since Uncle Cody left?" Johnny asked as he and Stefanie were sharing an ice cream sundae.

"I know…It's kind of hard to believe…" Stephanie said.

"Dad and Uncle Cody used to be so close as twins…" Johnny said.

"I know…It kind of has me scared…" Stephanie admitted.

"Wow,.. The older one is finally scared of something…" Johnny laughed.

"Just shut up you dork…Stephanie laughed. "What I meant to say was I'm actually scared about what is going to happen with us…As twins I mean…" Stephanie admitted.

"What do you mean?" Johnny asked.

"Look do you swear that you won't tell anyone about this?" Stephanie asked.

"You have my word…" Johnny nodded.

"I'm afraid of losing you…" Stephanie said as she pulled Johnny into a hug. Johnny wrapped his arms around his older sister.

"I'm afraid of losing you too…" Johnny said as he wrapped his arms around his older sister.

"I promise you Johnny…I swear on my life that I will guard you like a hawk and nothing will ever happen to you…" Stephanie smiled.

"Promise?" Johnny said looking up to his older sister.

"Of course…" Stephanie said as the twins pinky swore to seal the deal.

James and Jamie were currently laying down on the grass as they were thinking of Cody. They really missed him. Unlike Stephanie and Johnny, Cody played a huge part in the boy's lives. The two of them formed an incredible bond as they were dealing with the loss of Cody. Now the cousins were inseparable. James was currently 14 and he was just starting the ninth grade. He was a splitting image of both Zack and Cody. James had broken out of his fathers craziness and actually stuck with the smarts. The entire Martin kids stuck to Cody's smarts. Bailey had to laugh about that since the kids finally realized that an education was important to them. She just wished that Zack would realize that as well.

"It doesn't even feel like it's been two years does it James?" Jamie asked as he sat up staring at the moon.

"It feels a lot longer…" James replied.

"That is true…" Jamie replied.

"I know for a fact that he would have been bombarding you with kisses if he was there at your graduation." James laughed.

"Yep that's dad alright…" Jamie laughed. "Always the one who would look after me…That's what I miss about him…Now I kind of don't have a protector…" Jamie said.

"Sure you do…" James replied as he turned to face his cousin. "You have me." James laughed.

"You really mean that?" Jamie asked.

"Of course silly…" James laughed. "I mean you're the only cousin that I care about, and who gives a crap about the other two monkeys…" James laughed.

"Well if your going to be my protector, then I promise I'm going to try my best to be your protector." Jamie smiled.

"I know you will…" James said. "That's one of the traits that I love about you…Always putting people first." James said. "Just like your dad."

"I guess your right…" Jamie replied. "I'm like dad in so many ways…" Jamie said.

"Then there is absolutely no doubt that you're his son…" James smiled.

"Hey James…" Jamie said.

"Yeah?" James asked.

"Thank you for always being here for me." Jamie smiled.

"No problem…" James smiled.

Both of the boys looked up at the night sky as the nightlife came to life as a bunch of fireflies flew across the lawn in the warm summer breeze.

Back in the other side of Boston, a pair of footsteps could be seen walking towards the final resting place of everyone's hero. Cody Martin. As a pair of hands placed a single rose on the tombstone, the rain began to fall.

"I'm here Cody…I'm here…" Bailey Pickett said.
