Thank you all for your wonderful reviews!!

I am sorry that I haven't updated in a while... I have sports, and I have been too tired to write, but I'm here now.

This chapter was written for J. Shane.

I did my best at a 3rd person chapter for this story, but I think that I will only do it to fill in the gaps from now on. I typically write in the 3rd person, but in this story is hard to do that. I really want to show Zack and Cody's reactions and feelings.

I will do twincest, I promise, but I want there to be a reason for it. I will be hinting to it, but it won't happen for a few chapters, and even then it will be a slow process. I want this to be a story, not a porno.

(please I don't want anyone to be offended by reading this, I love people reading my stories, I have just had this on my mind for a while. In my tired state I can't think of any other way to say this, if it sounds mean I am truely sorry, I just need to ramble.)

Well with that said enjoy!

Chapter 3: A Safe Place

3rd person:

Cody sat startled as he tried to cope with what had happened to his brother, all he could do was choke out (as brave sounding as possible), "Come on now lets get you cleaned up".

The two walked to the bathroom, Cody grabbed some scissors and cut the shoelaces that were wrapped around his twin's hands. Zack was in a daze and didn't notice. Cody turned on the hot water, thinking that, at least, he could clean up his brother.

Zack got into the tub, after Cody turned around of course, and Cody started to wash him.

Cody was trying his hardest to comfort his brother, he felt guilty for always being the "baby" and the "smart one" that he always relied on Zack. He never had to worry about his brother needing support… until today… He snapped out of thought when he felt Zack shift, ever so slightly, and realized he was nearing his brothers midsection. Cody made his way around and continued to bath Zack, out of the corner of his eye he could tell that Zack was blushing.

Zack slowly slipped away. When he fell asleep, Cody watched his brother sleep. A mix of emotions came over him, but one stuck out in his mind 'He is so cute when he sleeps'

Cody sat there for a minute pondering that idea, but eventually wrote it off as relief that his brother was safe, it wasn't like he wanted to have sex with his brother, especially not after what just happened to him.

Cody pulled himself together, and went out to get his brother some clean cloths.

"Is he alright?" Maddie said in a low, concerned voice.

"He'll be fine, I hope…" Cody stammered.

"Hope? What happened? You look pale, are you alright?'

"I might tell you what happened, but you have to promise NOT to tell anyone else"

"I swear on our family's five leaf clover that wards off the evil leprechauns, I will not tell a sole."

"Alright, but I'm going to get Zack some clean cloths, he is kinda banged up."

"Cody went into his and Zack's room and picked up Zack's favorite pajamas, folded them, and placed them inside the bathroom. He then went to the couch.

Slowly he said, "So you promise that we can talk in confidence…"

"Of course Cody! I wouldn't betray yours or Zack's trust."

"That's just it, Zack only wanted to tell me and I feel like I'm betraying him just sitting here with you."

"I can see that you are worried, and, no matter what happened, I'm sure that Zack doesn't want you to suffer."

Cody broke down sobbing, "That's just it! Zack has always been there for me, and I just don't know what to do!"

"Well I can help if you tell me what I can do"

Cody decided that she was right and proceeded to tell her the truth, "There is this kid, well you really call him a kid, he could take down a professional line backer and still have energy to run a marathon. Well he always gets into trouble at school and has detention. Zack has been going and Mason has been sitting in front of him. Anyway the other day Zack fell asleep, and when the teacher looked over and caught mason wailing on some kid. She gave him triple detention. He was there the majority of the night. He threw a note at Zack that said, 'you are dead, I will get you for sleeping.' Zack didn't know why Mason had sent the note, until the kid that he was wailing on told Zack what had happened and thanked him…."

"So Mason beat up Zack for, for, FALLING ASLEEP!?"

"Cody shook his head slowly, "He didn't simply beat him up"

Maddie looked at Cody with a confused look.

"Zack was ra, rrraaa, raped…" Cody could barely say the words. He looked at Maddie, her face was void of life.

"Cody, I don't know what to say, just if you want to talk I'm here."

"Thanks"

The two were silent, and drained. At 9:00 Maddie had to leave. Cody checked on Zack, who was sleeping soundly, and went to sleep. He slightly woke up when the door opened. He was relieved to see that Zack was ok. He watched Zack move accosted the room, only to turn around and slip into bed with him.

Cody saw the slight panic in his own-mirrored eyes. "I love you Zack and I will never let anyone hurt you again"

Zack replied with a smile on his face, "I know" was all he said.

The boys woke up the next morning, Zack had his head nestled under Cody's. Panic rose throughout Cody as he looked at the time '9:30 how could I let this happen!' it was then that he noticed the little "SAT" icon below the time. He felt relieved, and went to make them breakfast. There was a note on the fridge, "Boys' I went on a spa day with London, and won't be back till Monday. Make sure you don't get into trouble, Mosbey is on the verge of a heart attack. I wanted to say good-bye but you two-looked way too cute, it reminded me of when you were 6. Love, Mommy"

Cody felt a slight weight lift, he didn't want to have to tell his mom what had happened. He looked in the fridge for anything to make for breakfast. Finding nothing, he decided that he could dip into his savings and get room service.

Zack and them ate slowly without saying a word to each other. Their weekend consisted of watching T.V. and sleeping. Cody felt more and more at ease because everything that happened Zack was cuddled up to him.

Meanwhile Zack felt safe and didn't want to go to school, he never wanted to leave his haven where Cody was, and he never wanted the have to step out of his safe place.

If you couldn't tell by reading, I got really tired towards the end and decided to skip this break in the story. Anyone that likes Zack and Cody should stop reading at this point, because if you thought what I did to Zack was mean, I am just getting started (I am evil mwahahah)

If you don't beleave me here is the title of the next chapter:

Cody! Oh My God!!

I might have it up this weekend, I am just waiting for inspiration (maybe a good night's sleep will help)

As always PLEASE review, it is the coolest thing to find out that others like what I'm writing and that i'm not some weird kid with a perverse mind.
