Disclaimer - You'd think by now that peeps would have relized that I don't own the Suite Life of Zack and Cody or Stop Crying your Heart out by Oasis. Happy? Excellent, now stop reading this and read the chapter I worked so hard to put up!

Cos all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
Youll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out

Oasis

-----------------------------------------------------------------

It had been 20 minetes since Carey had walked in on them sleeping on the couch.

It had been 19 minetes since she had told them their dad would be there soon to pick up Zack.

It had been 15 minetes since they had ran out of the Tipton.

It had been 10 minetes since they had reached the train station.

It had been5 minetes since their train had been delayed and the twins were considering leaving to find another train station.

But they stayed. They didn't talk. Just sat there. Huddled beside each other. It was like the were drawing strength from one another. They just sat there. Pondering the future. Pondering the past.

-------------------------------------

1 hour before

Carey put the key card in the door as silently as she could. The key card clicked but she made no move to open the door. She was afraid at what she would find. Would the boys still be there? Or would they have run away when she didn't come home? Were they worried? Was a member of Child Services there to take them away from her? She sighed. She had a hangover, and all these questions really weren't helping. She opened the door and stood still.

Zack and Cody were still here. They had even managed to go to bed, although Carey was afraid to know the time. They were asleep. On the head was lolling on Zack's shouldar. Zack had an arm around Cody's shouldar. It looked like he was protecting him. She smiled. Zack would always protect Cody, and vice versa.

She put her purse down on the counter as quietly as she could, and then left the room. She was in desperate need of a shower.

----------------------------------

30 minetes before

Carey had taken a longer shower than normal. She had wanted to rid herself of the shame she felt after the night before. It hadn't worked. She was still ashamed of her actions. But at least she was cleaner. Phsically at least. Mentally it would take longer, she thought to herself as she toweled herself dry. She dried her hair quickly, and dressed herself in one of her favorite outfits. Dark blue polo, with jeans, and a white choker nectlace. She was ready to face the world. The boys though? Not so much.

She had stepped out of the bathroom quietly, and sneaked into the kitchen. She needed coffee.

She was on her third cup of coffee when Zack and Cody began to stir. Cody streched but had forgotten that he was lying on Zack, so the consquence was that he arm hit Zack in the face. Zack who was never a morning perosn didn't take to this all to well.

"What the hell is your problem?" Zack had growled.

"MY PROBLEM? It's not my fault that we're on the couch. You were the one that didn't wanna sleep in our room without Mom being here!"

"You agreed to it!"

Carey just rolled her eyes. Then she wiped them. God, she was going to miss this.

"Boys, please. You are giving me a headache." Like she didn't already have one.

"Oh. Sorry." A pause. "Wait. WHERE WERE YOU?" It scared her how they were able to say the same thing at the same time.

"I was out."

"All night?" Why did he have to be so smart?

"Yes, Cody. All night, now both of you sit down, we need to talk."

"This isn't going to be a chick flick moment is it?"

"Zack, hush. Now both of you sit. We need to talk." She emphisized the last words slightly so that they knew better to argue. They sat.

"I'm just going to go right out and say it. Your father's coming at 1:00 to pick you up Zack."

"And take me where?"

"Your new home. In New York."

For a minete it was silent. And then-

"Like I would go."

Zack and Cody jumped up and ran to the door before Carey could even flinch.

Zack turned around before they left and said three words.

"Go to hell."

---------------------------------------------------------

The train had arrived 30 minetes late.

It would depart in 15 minetes.

In 15 minetes Zack and Cody would board the train.

In 15 minetes Zack and Cody's life would chnage.

For better or for worse.
