Chapter 5: Ignored

Cody is on the school bus. He is setting next to Bob. Zack is, of course, setting with Belle and joking around.

"How you been Cody?" Bob asked looking at Cody's black eye and swollen lip.

"Good, I guess." Cody lied.

"What's that?" Bob said at once grabbing Cody's arm.

Cody had worn short sleeves and the small wound on his wrist was visible.

"Bob, it's nothing." Cody said pulling his arm away from Bob.

"Cody, are you cutting yourself?" Bob asked, a worried look on his face.

"No, Bob, Zack made me mad last night, so I punched the window out of our bedroom. And this is what I got." Cody said has the bus stopped infront of the school.

"Well, see you." Cody said running off of the bus and away from Bob as fast as possible.

It's after school; Zack and Cody are just coming into their suite.

"You boys have a good day?" Carey asked smiling.

"Sure" The twins' said in unison.

"No one picked on you Cody?" Carey asked calmly.

"No,Mom, not today." Cody said setting down at the table.

"Hey Cody, You wanna go to the game room?" Zack asked.

"Yeah!" Cody said cheering up.

"But your paying." Zack said walking out the door.

Cody didn't care if he was paying, because he and Zack were finally doing something together. In the game room, Zack and Cody are playing and having a great time.

Wow, your getting good at this." Zack told Cody as they played.

"I know your only beating me by 10,000 points." Cody said sarcastically.

"Better than the usual 23,000." Zack reminded him.

"Hey Zack." Belle called walking over to him.

"Belle, Hi." Zack said not looking up from his game.

"What's up?" She asked moving closer to Zack.

"We are having brother time, Belle." Cody said bitterly."

"Well, Belle can join in for a while, Cody. Let her have your seat." Zack said still not looking up.

"Zack, this is supposed to be our day. Just me and you." Cody said sadly.

"Things Change, Cody." Zack said still watching his game.

"Thanks Cody." Belle said as Cody got up.

Cody is crying by the time he reaches his room on the 23rd floor. Carey has gone to work, so he alone, by himself. Zack had ignored him at school, and now, he was ignoring him at home. At this moment, Cody hated Zack, but even more, he hated him self. He also disliked Belle, alot.

"Why is my life such a hell hole?" Cody asked himself aloud.

Cody stops crying and pulls the razor blade from his pocket.

"Your the only friend I have" Cody said to the blade and raised it to his wrist.

"Wait, Bob saw my wrist injury." Cody said thinking.

He raised his pant leg up and starts slashing his leg. One, the twice, then... Over and over he slashes his leg, until the pain was so bad, that he fell unconscious onto the bed, the blade landing in the floor...

And there is Chapter 5. I will post Chapter six soon. Also, Chapter 6 will be the last chapter of this fan-fic, but not the end of the story. A sequel will follow it, so look for that.
