This is Chapter 25…Enjoy. Thanks for all the reviews. Anyway review more :
A/n – Tapeworm is in this chapter because he's cool! Ha lol anyway, he has a brother or I made him have one. I already gave too much away, so just read away and don't forget to review.
It could save someone's life
"How did he know what?" A voice said from somewhere
"Tapeworm? What are you doing here?"
"I live down the street, I come here to think ...Hey what are you doing here?" Tapeworm asked as he sat on the swing next to Zack
"I guess to think."
"Where are you supposed to be?"
"At the Tipton with Maddie." Zack said in a low voice
"Does she know you're here?"
"No, and I don't care if she does or not. I hate her and she hates me."
"Zack, you love Maddie."
"Yeah well, that was the old Zack."
"What happened with you and Maddie?"
"She." Zack took a second to answer "She yelled at me, more like screamed. Maddie never did that to me before. She thinks I'm crazy."
"You're not crazy Zack. I mean you know that, why do you care what she thinks."
"I don't care what she thinks, it's my mom she thinks I need therapy."
"Therapy doesn't mean your crazy Zack and it doesn't mean you need help. All it is is someone to talk to and listen to you and give you some advice."
"But I don't need to talk to anyone; I just want my brother back. That's it and no one understands! They all think I changed and I'm not myself. What the hell do they want from me?" Zack said growing angry
"I know how you feel."
"NO YOU DON'T NO ONE DOES." Zack said his face growing red
"Yes I do, a year ago my brother died." Tapeworm sadly said
Zack looked at Tapeworm. He had tears in his eyes. Zack could tell he was trying his hardest not to cry
"I'm sorry, I didn't know." Zack said softly
"Its fine, I never talk about it, it hurts too much."
"Wh-what happened?"
Tapeworm breathed in heavily "It was dark out, me and tom had just got done playing baseball and we were heading home. Tom had left his baseball by the slide in this park, when he came back I was already across the street waiting for him. I told him to cross the street but he wouldn't, he said he was afraid and for me to come get him. I was tried and started walking; I thought he would cross the street without me. I heard a shirk like a car stopping short and when I turned around there was Tom on the ground, he wasn't breathing. The man that hit him was drunk and he didn't know what he had done until the next day."
"I'm so sorry I said that to you, I didn't mean it."
"I know, you didn't know."
"What did you do?"
"I hated the world for awhile, and then after awhile I realized it wasn't the world's fault it was mine, so I hated myself and I wouldn't talk to anyone, and I stopped caring about what happened to me. I should have went across the street, I was the older brother and I was supposed to protect him and I didn't."
"But you didn't know, what was going to happen."
"But he did, and I should have listened to him, that's all it takes. All you have to do is listen and you can save someone's life."
"So what happened?" Zack asked
"My mom put me in therapy, at first I hated it, and I thought it was the stupidest thing ever. But after awhile I talked to her and she made me feel better because I got all my feelings out and it helped a lot because she was there to listen to me. She didn't care if I sat there and cried as long as I was getting my feelings out she said it was okay."
"What did you talk to her about?"
"How I felt and how it was my fault, she helped me a lot, she changed me. If my mom never got me into therapy I don't know what I would have done."
"I guess therapy is not bad at all."
"How are you feeling?" Tapeworm asked
"Mixed Feelings, I just want Cody back. And I would do anything to get him back. But everyone thinks I need help, and I don't I just want Cody back."
"So do I, SO do I."
