Maddie opened her door to her suite, "Cody?" She asked, and looked around her room, there was no Cody in sight, She looked stunned and walked out of the hotel into the park,
"Cody!" She shouted, she looked around the trees, and still no Cody in sight, untell she noticed a small figure sitting on the edge of the fountain, she walked over and realised it was Cody,
"Cody, what're you doing here?" She asked looking down at him,
Cody shrugged a bit, "I decided to get some air...that bad?" He asked looking up at her, Maddie shook her head, "Well no, but you should tell me where your going," She informed, and sat next to him,
"Everything...is just going so fast.." He said looking at the sky, he watched the birds fly freely in the air,
"Yeah I know..Do you have any idea where your brother is Cody?" She asked, He shook his head, "For all we know he could be in Alaska," He joked, Maddie smiled,
"You want some ice cream?" She asked,
"Nah..Icecream
reminds me of my mom," He said, Maddie cocked an eye browe,
"And
how so..?" She asked confused,
"Well, my mom, Zack and
I would always go to the ice cream parlor and get something, but when
I see my mom get her scoop she gets the same thing, she was always
happy with that same flavor," He sighed,
Maddie blinked,
"Stupid reason but yeah...Every moment with my mom makes it a good moment,"
"Do you wish you were
back with her?" She asked sitting back on the fountains
edge,
"Sometimes..Sometimes I do, but I always hated seeing
her sad, She would be so dramatic,"
Maddie showed a smile and
started laughing,
"It's true," Cody said laughing as
well,
"But...at the end of the day, when she would come home from the mall..or the store, or at the end of the day when we go to bed, she would always say we were the best things that ever happened to her, and she would never stop telling us that," Cody turned his attention to the water in the fountain, he drew a smile in the water,
"Wow...At least your mom loved you.." She said,
"Your mom
didn't?"
"Well...I'm sure she did, but she would never
show it," She said,
"How come?"
"She was always
fighting with my dad...Pretty soon they couldn't take it anymore,"
She sighed,
"I'm so sorry Maddie," He said placing his
hand on hers,
"It's alright...It's not all bad, there's alot of peace and quiet..." She said looking down at him,
Cody turned away to the sky and laid back on the fountain and shut his eyes, He thought about his mom some omre and his brother, and how they would get into so much trouble before he left, Zack was always the one to lead them into disaster, but he always got himself out of it, and even though Cody would never admitt it...He loved his brother,
"Well..Do you wanna go for a walk in the park?" She asked, Cody nodded, And they got up from the fountain,
...LONG WALK...
"So that's the reason why my mom broke up with my dad.." He said with his hands in his pocket,
"Wow Cody...I didn't know it would sound that bad.." She said frowning,
"Yeah...when my dad said he was leaving..I felt as if I could never speak again, it was just...so fast and like living in a nightmare world,"
Maddie nodded,
"But after a while I
got over it...But I would always hope dad would get back with mom
someday, and I would be right there to watch it,"
Maddie
smiled, "It's your job to make everyone happy huh," She
giggled, Cody shrugged,
"Guess so, But it never seems to
work,"
"Why?"
"There
was always a distraction,"
"How?Who?"
"Zack,"
He answered, they both stared at each other and laughed,
"Yeah...I wish I knew where he was right now.." He said,
"Cody...Did you ever think about how your mom would react if she saw you in the lobby?" She asked, He shook his head,
"She might scream in happiness, or in confusion..." He answered.
Maddie and Cody continued walking untell they reached the end of the side walk,
"You wanna go back?" She asked,
"Sure.." He said walkin backwards, Maddie smiled at him fooling around,
