Tears aren't enough
It was the next morning and Zack hadn't gotten much sleep, he was up the whole night thinking about the dream and what Cody had meant in it. It replayed over and over in his mind and wouldn't go away.
'I'll always be watching over you and mom'. What did he mean by that, Zack wondered to himself, why doesn't he want to come back? These questions wouldn't leave his mind. Carrie woke up around seven am.
"Hey sweetie." Carrie said as she poured herself some coffee.
"Mom," he began carefully, "When people die," he paused to figure out how to say it. "Do they watch down us?" Zack asked
"Of course they do. They want to make sure the ones they love are safe and happy." She paused. "Oh honey, Cody will be fine. Don't worry. The doctors said-"
"Doctors lie." He snapped. "They sugar coat everything. He could be dying!"
"All we can do is pray."
After a long pause, Zack spoke in a whisper: "Cody's not coming back, he told me."
"Zack, don't talk like that."
"He told me. He was in my dream." He continued.
Carrie stood up and looked at Zack in disgust
"We don't talk like that, Zack. I'm taking a shower." She announced.
Two hours later Zack and his mother were at the hospital. The pair was not talking.
Zack walked into Cody's room and sat down on the chair next to the bed.
"I know you can hear me. You can't die." He said in a low tone.
Carrie walked in and kissed Cody on the head, "I'll be right back sweetie stay here with your brother." As if he was sitting there, talking with her. She left, hiding her tears from her son.
Zack looked at his brother before standing up and starting to walk away.
"Who are you?" a groggy voice from behind asked
Zack spun around to see his brother; sitting up! He ran over to him and embraced him in a rib-breaking hug.
"I'm so glad you're awake!" Zack said with joy.
"Who are you?" Cody repeated, blinking through an intense headache, "And why do you look like me"
"I'm your twin brother! Stop playing, I was really spooked there!"
"I'm sorry, kid, I don't know you. Can you tell me why I'm in a hospital bed?" He blinked again. "Do you know my name? Can you tell me?"
"Cody…?" Zack said
"He has lost his memory." The doctor explained, entering.
"It's just temporary, right?" Zack asked, again worried but happy Cody was alive.
"We don't know. Remember: it could be temporary or permanent. It's impossible to tell."
"This is… This is… This is…" The poor boy stuttered, at a loss for words.
"My name is Cody?"
