Chapter 9:

Fighting and Crying

The next morning, the Martin breakfast table was silent, other than the purposefully loud chewing of the twins and their cereal.

"Did you finish my homework?" asked Zack.

"No. I don't do homework for jerks!" said Cody, glaring at Zack.

"Idiot" muttered Zack, glaring at Cody.

Just then, Zack reached across the table, and grabbed Cody's arm. Cody then reached across the table, and grabbed Zack's hair. Zack punched Cody until he let go. Then, Cody began to kick Cody. The fight continued and soon, they were on top of the table, and everything that was originally on the table, was on the floor. The fight continued until they heard the door swing open. There stood Carrey, groceries in hand, and her mouth wide open.

"What is going on here?" asked Carrey furiously noticing her floor.

"Nothing" they answered in unison, pulling themselves up, and straitening their clothing.

"Sure. What is going on here, really?" asked Carrey.

"Nothing" they answered again.

"Fine. Look at the mess you two made!" yelled Carrey, pointing to the mess that lay on the floor.

The two boys hopped down off of the table, and walked over to their mother.

"I leave you two alone for breakfast, and I end up with a humongous mess in my home! Arg! As if I already don't have enough to do! You two clean up this mess right this second!" yelled Carrey as she went to the kitchen to put stuff away.

Zack's Point of View:

That girlfriend stealer! He knows how much I love Max, and then he just waltzes off with her, and leaves me in the dust. And he didn't even tell me about it. Arg! That jerk! That fiend! And Max! How dare she go out with both of us at the same time, and not tell one of us...she said that I could go out with her, and then she just went out with Cody too! Arg! That explains the running back and forth at our date the other night. She wasn't really going to the bathroom, she was going into the skating rink to be with Cody! That...girl! Arg!

End of Zack's Point of View:

Cody's Point of View:

That Max! She said that we were to be boyfriend and girlfriend, and then she just begins to date Zack too! As if I wasn't enough! Arg! Now I know that she wasn't going to the bathroom on our date the other night! She was going to be with Zack! Arg! How dare she date both of us! She knows we aren't stupid! That cheat! I'll talk to her about it! But then again, she's probably mad at herself. Oh well! She should be! Arg! I'll go and speak to her!

End of Cody's Point of View

Just then, Cody grabbed his jacket, for it was raining, and ran out the front door to Max's house. Zack saw him leave, and just shrugged it off. He just turned on the television, and began to watch some cartoons.

Later at Max's home:

Cody rang the doorbell.

"Hello, Cody" said Max's mother.

"Hello. Can I see Max?" he asked politely.

"Sure. She's upstairs in her room" she said, pointing to the stairs.

Cody climbed the stairs, walked down the hall, and to Max's door. He knocked, and then came in. He saw Max, crying on the bed. Cody rushed over.

"Max, what's wrong?" asked Cody concerned.

"Oh, Cody. I'm so sorry" said Max, burying her face into his shoulder.

Cody wrapped his arm around the sobbing Max. Just then, they heard a knock on the door.

"Come in" answered Cody.

It was Zack. Seeing that sight, he slammed the door shut, and stormed down the stairs.

"It's okay, Max. It's okay" comforted Cody.
