Chapter 8: My Tears, My Future

The cops finally push through the hotel doors. They are closely followed by paramedics and FBI agents. Zack however is opening the door to the hotel suite that would change his life...Forever. Zack saw his lifeless brother on the hotel floor. He see's the knife cuts, and the sad look on Cody's pale face.

"CODY? Cody! Wake up bro! Wake up!" Zack cried into his brothers face. "Come on! Your not dead, Your not dead! Please, you can't leave me here alone!" Zack cried, his tears falling onto Cody's pale face.

"And now, I stand here alone, tears filling my eyes. My mom is dead, my brother murdered. I'm so scared. Maddie was kidnapped, no one's been out of the hotel, no one can get out. The killer is still lerking, killing everyone he can. I am trapped here. Alone. I can't run, and I can't hide. This man has taken many lives, he has taken my family, and if I don't get out of here soon...He'll take my life." Zack thought through his tears of pain.

Zack stood up. He had just heard many gunshots. Someone else was in the Tipton. Zack kisses his dead brother on the forehead and runs into the lobby. He see's the killer dead, shot to death in the floor. A cop runs up to a very scared, pale Zack.

"I'm Officer Mack, are you okay?" The officer said resting his hands on Zack's shoulders and looking into his eyes.

"N-No. He, he killed my Mom, My brother, and the love of my life is almost dead. The manager was murdered. Please send help to Maddie! She's in suite 1308!" Zack pleaded through tears.

"Paramedics to suite 1308!NOW!" The cop screamed. He took Zack into his arms and hugged him. It's okay bub, everything's going to be okay. Your safe now. Your safe."

Time passed. Maddie...Lived. It took her four months to fully recover, but she did. The Tipton was shut down for seven months afterwards. Zack lived with Maddie at her place. She took care of him, and he returned the favor. Zack took his family's death hard. He got addicted to drugs and drinking for two years. Maddie was finally able to pull him out of that world. Zack was always crying after the drugs. He went into depression for three months. Maddie stayed by his side the whole time...And slowly, Zack got better, and better. The pain of losing everything never went away for Zack, but it did get easier everyday. Four years after the incident, Maddie and Zack got married and had a son. They named him...Cody. They lived happily for the next 14 years. Until Maddie got pregnant with twins. The thought scared Zack, and he again got into drugs. After six months, he stopped, and with Maddie welcomed, Nathaniel and Daniel into the world. They lived happily ever after, but Zack never stopped thinking of that night that happened over 15 years ago...He just couldn't.
