Cody took the chemistry work to Woody, then he went to find Sam.

Cody found him inside the boys bathroom. Sam was cleaning his shoe after stepping in gum.

"Hey Sam," Cody said as he walked up to him.

"Hey."

"Have you seen my brother today?"

"Uh, this morning. Why?"

Cody shrugged, "Just wondering... I have a question for you."

"Can it wait? I gotta get to class," Sam walked to the door and tried to leave, but Cody stopped him by slipping between him and the door.

Cody was a little nervous about being inside the bathroom, alone, with Sam. Sam was about four inches taller than Cody and he had alot of muscle, for someone who never worked out. Cody new that Sam could probably beat the crap out of him, but at this moment Cody didn't care. His brother was more important to him. So, he put his nervousness aside and focused on the problem.

"It won't take long," Cody stated with a glare.

Sam sighed, "Fine. What?"

"I was just wondering if you enjoy dragging Zack down to your level?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Cody ignored Sam's comment, "Is he like a game to you? Are you just trying to destroy him? What is it?"

"I told you I don't know what you're talking about!"

"I went to see Zack a few minutes ago and he was totally hungover."

"That's not my problem."

"That's not your problem?" Cody repeated angrily, "It's all your problem. You were the one who introduced him to drinking and doing drugs! You know, Zack has gotten into alot of minor trouble in the past for slacking off at school and pulling pranks, but until you came around he was a pretty good kid. Now he's drinking, doing drugs, ignoring his friends, and lying all the time! He told me three weeks ago that he would never get high again but after seeing him today I highly doubt that was true..."

Sam cut him off, "Is there a reason you are telling me this? Zack is my friend, so I asked him if he wanted to join in on a little fun, he could have said no, but he didn't. It's Zack's life, he can do what he wants. He made the choice to drink and to smoke, so lay off."

"No!" Cody yelled, "I am not going to "lay off". He is my brother and I care about him. Do you care about him? If he had a problem, like not knowing how to do his algebra work, or trying to win over a girl, would you help him with that? What about if he's sick? Would you take his temperature, make him soup, keep him hydrated, help him to the bathroom, stay up with him all night, call my Mom every two hours to tell her how he's doing? Would you do that? Cause last year Zack got really sick and that is what Bailey, Woody, London and I did. For two weeks our live revolved around him, but we never complained. You know why? Cause we are his friends, and when he is hurting, we help him. See, if you were his "friend" you would be helping him, not hurting him."

"Are we done here?"

"Listen to me Sam, if anything happens to Zack I swear I'll..."

"You'll what?" Sam interrupted, "You know who my other friends are, and I know what they did to you. If you even tried to do anything to me, you would be dead before you made it halfway."

Cody didn't back down from Sam, "I've put up with enough crap from your "friends" and I will not let you destroy my brother."

Before Sam could say another word Cody opened the bathroom door and left.

The next afternoon Cody was trying to concentrate on helping London with her school work.

Cody sat down at the head of London's bed, "Where are we?" He asked as she got one of her book from her backpack.

She sat down on the other end of the bed. "Here," She replied as she opened her English book to the right page and handed it to him.

"Okay, let's get started."

"Oh wait!" London exclaimed. She went over to her desk and picked up a piece of paper, "Look at this," She said as she handed him the paper.

"What is it?" Cody asked as he took the paper.

"The English test I took two days ago."

Cody looked at the paper and smiled , "You got an A!"

"Yupp!" She replied happily, "My first one!"

"I'm so happy for you!" Cody replied as he gave her a hug.

"Thank you."

"We need to get a frame and hang this up on your wall," Cody said with a laugh.

"Oh, I already bought a frame. I just haven't had the chance to put the paper in it and hang it up."

"Well, I am very happy for you," Cody yawned, "But we better get back to work."

"Can I ask you something Cody?" London asked.

"Sure."

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Why?"

"I've known you since you were ten, I know when something is wrong. You've seemed really tired lately."

Cody sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair, "I've had some things on my mind lately. I haven't been getting much sleep."

"What's wrong?"

"It's... It's just..."

London stopped him, "You don't have to tell me."

He shook his head, "No, I think I need to tell someone."

Cody began to tell London everything that had been going on with Zack.

London remained quiet until Cody was finished. "Oh my God," She said in shock, "That doesn't even sound like Zack."

"I know."

"What are you gonna do?"

Cody shrugged, "I have no idea."

"What did Bailey say when you told her?"

"I haven't. I haven't told anyone but you."

"Well, I think you need to tell."

"But if I tell, he'll be kicked out of school."

"And if you don't," London replied, "Something alot worse could happen."

Cody nodded, "You're right... I just need to think about it some more."

"Just don't wait until it's too late."

Two days later the ship docked in Italy. Zack, who had been ignoring Cody, hurried off the ship with Sam, Tommy, Joey and Daryl.

Cody and Bailey were going to go sightseeing, but when Cody saw Zack leaving with his new "friends" he decided it would be his only chance to sneak in Zack's room and find out what all Zack was really up to.

"Bailey," Cody began, "Why don't you go sightseeing with Addison for a while and I will meet up with you later on. I just remembered I told Mr. Mosbey I would help him out with something today."

"Oh, why don't I just wait on you? I don't mind."

"Uh.. No, it's fine. I'll call you as soon as I'm done."

"Okay," Bailey said, trying to hide her sadness, "See you later."

He gave her a kiss then walked away.

As Cody walked back to his room to get his copy of Zack's key, he saw London who was about to leave.

"Hey Cody," London said, "I figured you and Bailey would already be out sightseeing."

"I had Bailey go with Addison, I'm gonna meet up with them later."

"Why?"

"I saw Zack leave and I wanted to go into his room while he's gone. I'm afraid that maybe I'm over-reacting and I don't want to tell Mr. Mosbey what's going on with him when I don't really need to."

"Do you any need help?" London asked.

"No, it's fine. I'm sure you want to go shopping."

"Eh. I've been to Italy more times than I can count. If you need help, I don't mind."

"I would appreciate it... If you're sure you don't mind."

"Let's go."

Cody got the extra key out of his room. He took a deep breath as he unlocked Zack's door and went inside. "I sure hope we don't find anything," He said to London.

"What exactly are we looking for? I mean, you already know he drinks and is smoking pot."

"Just anything. I'll look under his bed and in his closet, and you can look in his desk and dresser."

"Okay."

Cody looked under the bed, but he didn't find anything. London looked in his dresser and found nothing as well.

Thirty minutes later Cody had finished up with Zack's closet, "Nothing here... Thank God."

"Uh, Cody, you might wanna hold that thought," London said as she pulled a bag of white powder from a drawer in Zack's desk.

"Oh my God!" Cody exclaimed as he took the bag from her.

"Is that... Cocaine?" She asked as if she were afraid to say the word.

"Probably," Cody said sadly. He sat down on Zack's bed and stared at the bag. The room was silent for over a minute, until London spoke, "Cody, you know you are going to have to tell."

"I know... He's gonna hate me."

I ended this chapter before I had originally planned. It's just when I wrote those last words, I liked it so much that I figured it was a better place to end it then my original idea. I think I might take this fanfic thing too seriously (maybe that's a good thing though). First, I write the entire chapter in a notebook (which is 10-12 pages), then I read over it and change what I don't like, then I write in on my computer, then once I add it to document manager I read over it all and make my final changes. But, I love doing it! I want to make sure it's as good as possible, and when I don't like the way I wrote something, I change it completely (like I did with chapter one). Anyway, all this is to say that I hope my work pays off and that you all enjoy reading. Thank you all so much for the reviews. It's awesome to know that 1. People are having dreams about my story, and 2. People are staying up until 2-3 in the morning to keep reading! That's so amazing. Thank you all. P.S. I enjoyed reading what you thought Sam looked like. If you didn't post on that before, please feel free to now. Also, I would like to know what you think Joey, Daryl and Tommy look like, it's fun seeing how differently you guys view the characters.
