Chapter One: The Death

Zack and Cody cried as their mother, Carey's coffin was lowered into the ground. Carey had died from natural causes. Zack and Cody cried as people were leaving. Maddie's mom took them back to the Tipton. Maddie would look after the twins from now on.

Three days later.

"Zack, why aren't you dressed yet?" Cody asked looking around the suite for his book bag.

:How could you even think of school, Cody? Mom just..."

"Do I look like I need reminded? School is the only thing I have. I can't keep falling apart. Zack, I need school. It gets me through the day." Cody said as tears threatened to run down his face.

"And I don't? Cody, I need you here. Stay home, please." Zack pleaded as Cody found and picked up his book bag.

"Zack, I'm sorry, but I can't." Cody said turning for the door.

"You walk out that door, and I'll kill myself." Zack said coldly, forcing Cody's hand from the door knob. After a bit of silence, Cody turned to Zack.

"Never say that again. I just lost mom I can't loose you too. How could I live with myself?" Cody whispered as tears fell from his eyes.

"Cody, I mean it. If you leave me here, I will kill myself. So choose wisely." Zack said standing up.

"I don't believe you will, Zack. I love you, but I have school. If you wanna be in 9th grade forever, fine, but I don't. Try to get out today." Cody said edging toward the door.

"Don't go! I will kill myself." Zack yelled.

"Goodbye, Zack." Cody muttered as he walked out the door and shut it...
