Zack and Cody's Alone Time Chapter 9

Chapter Title: Broken

Thinking, Zack sat on the edge of the bed. He thought about all that had happened to them since they'd told each other how they felt. Abused, kicked out of school, having to move. It was all because of love. They were moving in a week. As Carey put it, they had just enough time to say goodbye to all their friends. Nothing anybody could do would possibly help them now. They were broken, torn apart. Broken off from the comforting world they knew and thrust violently into an unfamiliar town, an unfamiliar place. A completely new life. All had happened because of their love. Love had began this chaotic lifestyle, and perhaps ending love would end this. Would they be broken apart? Only time would tell. Thinking about all of this, Zack fell into sleep's hands.

As Zack slept later that night, Cody was thinking much the same things. How would this affect their relationship? Would they have to hide it, as they did for so long here? It seemed that when they made it known, they were shunned, and repelled. Not accepted, as their friends had been.

On the morning of their move, as Zack and Cody helped load the van with their stuff, the doorbell rang for the last time. Carey answered it, and saw the one person she'd hoped to never see again.

"Hello, Kurt."

"Hello, Carey. I hear you're moving. May I ask why?" At this point Cody came down the stairs, carrying the last item to go into their van, and they would be on their way. He heard his father ask that last question.

"Why do you care? It was you who left us all those years ago. Suddenly, you just come back and act like you've known us all along. Well, you don't need to now. The truth would kill you if you did."

"I think Cody covered it. We're leaving now. COME ON, ZACK!" Zack came down the steps.

"Jeez, mom, no need to shout. What's he doing here?" Zack asked as he caught sight of their dad.

"He's just here to say goodbye." Carey responded.

"Well, see ya." Zack responded. He got into the van, and they headed to a new town. To start a new life would be hard, as they were about to find out.

1 year, 3 weeks later, in Lexington, Kentucky.

"Hey guys, how was school?" Carey asked.

"Same old stuff." They responded.

"Did anything unusual happen today?"

"Umm...no...I don't think so." Zack said.

"Not unless you count Charlie spilling his milk all over the lunch lady.

"Yeah, that was pretty funny."

"Is that all?" Carey said.

"Yeah, that would be all." Cody told his mother.

"Well, I've got a surprise for you." Carey told her twins.

"Really?" Zack asked.

"Yeah. You'll like this." Carey told them. "Max is coming to visit."

"Max? You mean, like, Max from Boston?"

"Yea. Her."

"Awesome!" Zack shouted.

"Yeah. Cool." Cody said.

So there's chapter 9. Sorry it's so short. This fic is about to get very depressing. Please review!
