Maddie walked ahead of Cody, then turned around curiously, She noticed Cody was carrying his suit cases, Maddie looked concerned,

"Cody? Your mom decided for you to leave the nest?" She asked, Cody shook his head, "I'm going to my grandmothers," He lied, Maddie noticed a sign on his case

"Reality or 'bust'

"Cody wy are you going to your grandmothers?" She asked, "Because ..." Cody had to think fast, "Sh-She's sick." He stammered, Maddie raised her eye brows,

"Really? Well tell her I siad I hope she feels better," She said turning around, Cody couldn't keep it in anymore, "I'm not going to my grandmas.." He confessed, Maddie stopped,

And turned around back to him.

"Really? Well where are you going?" She asked,

"Away from here..." He answered, and walked to the door, but was stopped by an arm on his shoulder, "Away form here? Cody whyw ould you want to leave?" She asked,

"Because..." He answered,

Maddie looked down at him,

"Because..?" She asked,

"Alright, because my mom hates me and everything in my life is a disaster!" He screamed, the whole staff heard, but then went back to their posts,

Maddie turned back to him, "How so?" She asked,

"I got in a fight with my mom and-"

"Woh woah wait, Cody? Faught?" She teased, and pat his back, Cody didn't react, "You were saying?" She asked, "We argued...And she said...Sh-She wanted

me gone..." Cody said, feeling hot tears run down his face, but then quickly wipped them away,

Maddie pulled him into a hug, Making Cody feel awkward, "Cody, im sure this isn't true," She said, Cody nodded, "She said she doesn't have enough

money to take care of zack and I...So she's sending me to my grandmas," He said, "And I got mad..I didn't want to leave..This is the best place Zack and I

Ever lived in, and I didn't want to leave," He said crying,

Maddie looked at him in shock,

"Well, where's your brother now?" She asked, Cody shrugged, "Truth be told, he ran away after my mom and I faught...and now I don't know where he is..

And my mom doesn't know either," He said feeling even more tears fall, "I'm just standing here for my grandmother,"

"And your moms not here to say goodbye?" She asked,

"Well no...She thought it would be to sad, and plus the fight we had.." He sighed, he looked out the door, and saw his grandmother pull up,

Mr, Moseby skipped up to him,

"Well goodbye Cody," He said smiling, he was giggling inside him, "Mr, Moseby.." Maddie growled, Moseby rolled his eyes.

"Oh alright...I'm sorry Cody," He said, and skipped to his counter in happiness,

"Cody this is horrible! you can't leave!" She blurted out,

Cody started walking to the door, but Maddie pushed him out of the way, and ran out to the front,

"Can I help you ma'am?" She asked smiling, "I'm looking for a Cody Martin." A lady answered from the window,

"I'm sorry ma'am there's no one in this hotel by that name, But im sure he's at the other hotel, the St Mark," She covered, The lady waved goodbye and drove on the other street,

"Um Maddie...Why did you lie to my grandmother?" Cody asked puzzled,

"Because, It's either living with her where she drops her teeth in your chocolate milk, or staying with me," She said, Cody smiled,

"You'de really let me stay with you Maddie?" He asked hopefull,

"Ofcourse Cody. I can't let you leave this hotel you mean alot to me," She said smiling, and pulled him into another hug,

Maddie...

And broke apart, "You can have the spare bed in my room," She said carrying his luggage, "Maddie its okay I can carry it myself,"

He said,

Maddie didn't have any answer, but continued to carry the bags into the elevator,

...5...4...3...2...1...Ding!

They reached Maddies suite, Cody looked around the hallway, "It's very nice Maddie," He said smiling, MAddie opened her door,

"And this is where you'll be living from now on," She said moving her pillows out of the way, He looked at pictures on the wall,

"I didn't know you liked art," He said moving closer to the painting,

"Yeah I do alot, infact im trying to learn how to pain like thay myself," She said turning her canvus. On it showed a bowl of fruit,

Smudged in colors Cody didn't know that existed,

"Wow Maddie...It looks...um..Uni-"

"Horrible I know," She laughed, And turned the canvus back around. She pulled out the spare bed. "Here's where you'll sleep." She said,

Cody walked over nervously, Maddie sat on her bed watching him approach his new bed cautiously, "Cody, It's not gonna attack you." She teased,

"Is this thing gonna snap and pull me into its dark portal of doom?" He asked shaking, Maddie looked at him wide eyed.

"If you mean if it will snap and take you into the closet..? It can sometimes," She quickly answered, Cody shrugged and sat on his bed.

"It's nice Maddie," He said bouncing, Cody suddenly stopped, he felt something dropped inside him.

"Cody, What's wrong?" Maddie asked,

"It's just all happening so fast.." He sighed, Maddie laughed and gave him a nuggy. "Your something else.." She said rolling her eyes.

Cody looked around Maddies room from the confort of his bed. He noticed Maddie liked, art alot, but he never knew she liked rock music,

"Hey Maddie, I didn't know you liked music." He said looking at her CDs,

Maddie Grinned.

"Well I do, It's just I never talk about it in public," She said,

Cody didn't undestand the names. "Who are these people?" He asked,

"Um, 7 day slumber, Project 86, Demon Hunter, Those kinda bands," She answered,

These are Metal bands...

"Hey Mad-"

"Um Cody, I'm gonna go take a shower I'll be out in a few," She said and walked to the bathroom. Cody put her CDs down and looked around,

It's like there's a whole different side to Maddie he never knew about, no one knew about, and he admiered that...
