Chapter 5: Suffering

Cody finished putting his bed back together as Zack walked in. He had done it. Now Zack would never know what just happened. Zack walked over to Cody and grabbed him by the arms.

"Guess What?" He said excitedly.

"OWWW" Cody yelled and jerked away.

"Sorry, whats up with you? I barely touched you." Zack said with a loud tone.

""I was pretending." Cody said trying to smile. "So, what is it that you wanted to tell me?" Cody asked Zack who looked supiciously at Cody.

"Just that Mimi invited me to a party at her suite tonight! Isn't that awesome?" Zack asked and slumped down on the couch.

"Yeah, sure, whatever." Cody mumbled so that Zack barely heard him.

"Let me guess? You don't want me to go to this party either?" Zack asked angrily.

"I didn't say that!" Cody bashed back.

"But your thinking it! Aren't you?" Zack continued loudly.

"Zack...I need to tell you something." Cody said looking at his feet. Zack notices the sudden sadness in Cody's voice and looks concerned.

"What?" Zack asks calmly.

"I've been..." Cody was cut off by the phone. After Zack had answered and responded, he came back.

"That was Belle. She invited me over early so i can help set up everything. I'm so excited!" Zack said merrily. "I've gotta go...Oh, what was it that you've been doing?" Zack said almost forgetting what Cody had said earlier.

"Um...Nothing, you just go have fun." Cody said and ran into his room, shutting the door. Zack looked sorrowful, then walked out of the suite shutting the door behind him.

"I am so stupid!" Cody yelled as he slashed his legs with his razor blade. "I was actually going to tell him! He wouldn't care. He would probably laugh and tell me that I'm a dork. I have no reason to live. No one wants me. so I'll just kill myself! Then everyone can go on with their lifes, and I will not be in their way!" Cody shouted to himself.

Zack was now at Mimi's suite. They were hanging balloons and streamers.

"Thanks for inviting me. I always have alot of fun around you." Zack told Mimi smiling dreamily into her eyes.

"Your welcome! I really like you Zack. I think you might be the one." Mimi said back to him. Zack loved her response, but he also loved Maddie. He didn't want to be with Mimi forever, but he couldn't tell her that.

"I just might be." Zack said with a fake laugh.

"I hope so, because your the nicest damn boy I've ever met. And when it comes to your appearance...I'm not complaining!" Mimi said kissing Zack on the cheek. In the heat of the moment, Zack grabs Mimi's head and kisses her on the lips.

"Wow, totally caught off gaurd." Mimi laughed and hung another balloon.

In the Martin suite, Cody starts slicing throw his skin with a knife, instead of a razor blade. he was ready to die. And he was going to make sure he did.
