Chapter 2: Miles Away

It was raining outside, Kayla was at her room, doing nothing simply but sob.

Kayla's POV:

"Cody… Cody… Cody…"

It was everything in my head, all I could even think about. He was so crushed, his heart broke and his body did too. I feel so sorry. Why did this happen? I never wanted anything like this, what did he do wrong? Wait, Zack. He's such a great person. I just hope that he's okay already.

(End of POV)

But, alas, he wasn't. His personality totally changed, and he was too quiet for everyone to figure out where he was, only Cody knew.

Later the same night, at Boston, Cody was at the roof of the Tipton, near the pool, and he was looking down on the city, with all of it's lights shining brightly.

Cody sighed, he did miss her, but how? The things he went through weren't right, he didn't deserve it, he still thought of this, but his anger putting everything else to waste. Zack, no matter what happens, they'll stick together, and nothing, nothing can grow them apart.

Cody's POV:

"I wish I had something to change my past, to change everything, to change what happened to me." Cody sighed. "Nothing can, but still, it's almost Winter break, Christmas is coming up, I should-"

"Should what?"

A voice answered from out of nowhere.

"Not you two again,"

"No, it isn't those two. It's me, Zack"

I turned around to see Zack walking to me, he found out.

"So, how'd you figure I was here?"

"I had a hunch, you've been too quiet lately, and something's in your head, you can't get out."

"Oh no," I thought. "this is how the trouble before this began."

"And I won't do anything to hurt you, Cody." He answered calmly.

"Wow. Zack is really different the way I remember him." I thought to myself.

"We almost lost each other, but I can't let that happen, not anymore."

Some people think that I'm gay or something like that, but it's not like that. We're brothers, twins, and more importantly, part of a family. And it would be natural, after what we've been through, would you think that you wouldn't grieve for the loss of a loved one, or the one you truly care for the most left you in the blink of an eye, and was never to return?

Something struck me hard in the gut. Remembering that person, Kayla. She had to have felt the same as Zack, we loved each other, and, even if your first love isn't really your absolute choice, you aren't sure if the person you're with at that moment is the one, but, it was different, for us. We knew, but, it wasn't still, we were separated.

(End of POV)

Back at Pickford…

Continuation of Kayla's POV:

There was a knock on the door, and I went up to see who it was.

"Who is it?"

"It's Keely."

Keely, a friend I made while staying here, before I met Cody.

"Oh, hi, Keely."

"Why? What's the matter?" She asked me, looking curious and innocent, which she isn't.

"It's nothing." I grunted.

"Something's up. What is it? Come on, Kayla, you can tell me."

I could, but I didn't want to.

She still gave me that look, that look that I always fell for, why we know so much about each other. That puppy-dog pout.

"Okay, but I won't tell you."

I couldn't help it.

"Keely?"

She jumped up all of a sudden, feeling fuzzy at the moment.

"How would you, I mean, feel if-"

"Feel about what?"

"If Phil was kinda-"

"What about Phil?"

"In an accident." I blurted out.

"Well, I would be for him,"

"But what if, you couldn't, that you were so far away?"

"Oh, I get your point."

"What?"

"You had some boyfriend while you were on vacation."

"What? NO!"

"Yes you did." She said, cheekily.

"Okay, okay."

The girl can read my mind, it's so weird, I don't know why.

"Wait. I have an idea."

"Wha-"

She rushed out the door before I even finished the word. Then I heard voices from downstairs, and it was settled, I was going back to the, the, The Tipton.

(End of POV)

Back in Boston…

Cody's POV:

Zack and I were still up the roof, doing nothing but talk.

"It's getting a little chilly. We should get back inside."

I agreed. And we walked to the door, then shut it, and to the elevator, both of us were silent, I guess Zack only said it while at the rooftop.

We reached the suite, and mom wasn't back yet, and I just went to sleep.

I was still thinking about what Zack said, and more importantly, Kayla.

Nothing could ever change me, if someone could change destiny itself, and go back to the past, well, then yes. But nothing will.

(End of POV)

A/N: So, what do you think? I've already introduced Keely, and mayhem once more on the Tipton, the shows are going to help each other, but I can't update very fast though, after this, I still have the play to direct (bwhahaha). And yeah, some things here in my stories are about me, just so people who read author notes know, I posted it on my last story, but I didn't think anyone noticed.
