Chapter 4: Icy Depths

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

After the ball, everyone returned to their rooms, but the three couples dancing from a while ago were still there. Cody and Kayla were by the edges of the roof, and were looking at the street lights, cars, and HUGE PILES OF SNOW that covered the city like a blanket. Zack and Maddie already went down, Maddie still had to get home and it was just for one night, Zack said goodbye to her as if it was their last meeting. Phil and Keely were also there, but they had gotten inside since it was getting cold already, and they wanted to give some privacy to the two others, so, they went inside and entered the elevator.

"This has to be the greatest night of my life, Cody."

"We're still young, so why call it then?"

"Because I'm sure that I spent it with you."

"Won't there be one more thing?"

"What?"

"No, never mind."

"I know what you mean."

"We should get inside now."

"Yeah, sure, it's really cold already."

"Here, take it."

He gave her his jacket.

"Thanks."

"Kayla, I just hope that you do stay here."

"Me too Cody, me too."

Much later after they got in the hotel, they went down to the lobby, where the sofa was in front of a cackling and toasty fire.

"You know, Kayla, I just can't get it, what, why or how I got into a lot of messes ever since I've met you."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"No, there's an upside to it. I mean, one, my own brother turned against me and tried to break us up, two, I got into that accident, three, both of us, meaning me and my brother, have totally changed ever since you left, four, Mr. Moesby is a lot happier without the schemes, five, I almost drowned-"

"Hey, I saved you on that time!"

"I know, but let me finish first. So where was I, ah, five, I almost drowned in the Tipton, and six, the most important one,-"

"What is it?"

"I think I've met the love of my life."

"Aww, Cody,"

"No, I'm serious, we may be young, I agree with that, but nothing would stop me for you."

"Just like Phil and Keely…"

"What?"

"You know Keely, right, Cody?"

"Yeah, I do."

"It's kinda like our story, they've gone through a lot and so have we. Anyways, Keely is a friend of mine, ever since I first left the Tipton."

"Don't remind me, just don't."

"She's been there for me, and Zack has been for you, right, Cody?"

Cody was just silent. Kayla sighed and just laid back on the sofa.

"You may not have been as lucky as me, but we're back here at the Tipton. And things change, you know."

"Yeah, a lot of things change. Some things always happen." He said grumpily.

"You know, this moment, I hope never ended."

"Me too." yawns lies down

"We could stay here." she said sleepily.

They both fell asleep, together, nothing could stop them from each other, not even fate can go against them…

Kayla snuggled closer, and Cody put his arm around her, she smiled and closed her eyes, seeing his face already he's falling asleep.

You need a friend

I'll be around

Don't let this end

Before I see you again

What can I say to convince you

To change your mind of me?

I'm going to love you more than anyone

I'm going to hold you closer than before

And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free

I'll be free for you anytime

I'm going to love you more than anyone

Look in my eyes, what do you see?

Not just the color

Look inside of me

Tell me all you need and I will try

I will try

I'm going to love you more than anyone

I'm going to hold you closer than before

And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free

I'll be free for you anytime

I'm going to love you more than anyone

Free for you, whenever you need

We'll be free together baby

Free together baby

I'm going to love you more than anyone

I'm going to hold you closer than before

And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free

I'll be free for you anytime

I'm going to love you more than anyone

I'm going to love you more than anyone

"This is all true, all true. I wish this never ended, but it will."

"No it won't."

"Who was that?"

"It's me. Down here." A teary-eyed blinking Kayla said.

"Oh, it's just you, I thought it was someone else."

"Who?"

"I don't know why I'm telling you this, but, I got these two in my head a few days before the accident. It was like I was going insane, and they were messing with my head, and stuff, crazy, isn't it?"

"Yeah it is, but I don't think you are, yet."

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?"

"You might."

"I know." Cody sighed.

"Wait, what time is it?"

"It's 4 am. And cold."

"I can't believe we woke up that early, we should get back to sleep."

"I agree. But we should get to our suites first."

"Alright."

They went to the elevator and to their suites, and went their separate ways. Cody entered the suite when it was so silent, that you could hear a pin drop. He climbed up to bed, and immediately fell asleep again.

Cody's POV:

I was swimming again, and it was like the old days, without the new arms, and legs to me. In the Tipton pool, it was nice, and I saw everyone that I know, from Zack, Max, mom, and even Kayla. All of a sudden, the water started getting colder, and colder, before…
