Chapter 3:
Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow
Boston:
Cody and Maddie cried for many hours. London acted sad, but she truly wasn't that sad. They gave away Zack and Carey's cots quickly. Cody begged them not to, but there were people who needed them. The number of people living in the shelter increased greatly. Each day there were more and more people. Two days after Carey and Zack left, London's father came to pick her up. Her cot was quickly given away too. Now there were only 4 cots in the small gathering in the corner. However, this wouldn't last for long. Moseby was leaving in two more days, and Estebon in 3 days. They would be all alone in just 5 days.
After the others left, life in the shelter was hard. It was always cold, and very crowded. It seemed so much worse for Cody. Cody, at first wouldn't eat. He wouldn't accept any food from anyone. He was just too depressed. He couldn't stand life without his brother and his mother. He was devastated. It didn't help that Carey and Zack never called. They said that they would, but they hadn't since they left. Cody was going downhill, and Maddie was beginning to worry. Cody cried himself to sleep every night. Finally Cody ate, but rarely. Large, dark circles appeared beneath his eyes. He was ever so quiet. He snapped at anyone who tried to comfort him, and he wouldn't talk to anyone. Little did they know, that something was going to happen that might change Cody's life forever.
"Hey, Cody. Wake up Cody!" said Maddie as she began to shake him back and forth.
" Common Cody! They're serving food! Cody, wake up!" screamed Maddie.
"What?" Cody moaned
"Oh fine I'll get up!" he said stubbornly.
Cody got up and snickered at Maddie. He then went over to get food. When Cody came back with his food, he felt queasy. He sat down on the cot and held his stomach. He thought he was just hungry, so he tried to take a bite of the food, but he couldn't. He didn't know why. He just couldn't bring his food up to his mouth. Suddenly, he felt a sharp, piercing pain rush through his body, and then he saw blackness.
Maddie was just coming back when she saw Cody pass out. She set down her food and tried to wake Cody up.
"Cody! Cody, wake up! Cody! Somebody, help! Help! Please somebody help!" screamed Maddie.
Quickly, some workers came over and saw Cody's unconscious body. Someone dialed 911. Another worker asked who was Cody's guardian. Maddie told them the story, and told them that she supposed that she was his guardian for the time being. The ambulance arrived in a few moments, and took Cody away on a stretcher. Maddie followed Cody and the stretcher into the ambulance, and off they went to the hospital.
