Chapter Four: The Fight
Cody and Zack made their way through crowds of people as they took their seats in the bleachers over looking their gym. Today was the school's pep rally before they went off to play football against Mortford. Zack had recovered in the hospital for two days and was okay again. He hadn't talked to Mason since, or so Cody thought anyway.
"Zack, you feeling okay?" Cody asked concerned.
"I'm fine, and I really wish you'd stop asking me that. If anyone needs someone right now, it's Maddie." Zack said dryly, irritation washed over his voice.
Zack and Cody looked out into the gym as their schools cheerleaders stopped a cheer they had been doing.Now the drum line was playing.
"I'm sorry Zack, I just can't help it." Cody apologized not looking at Zack.
"Well, you better stop helping it, because I'm getting tired of it, and really tired of you too!" Zack whispered, Cody could barely hear him.
"How could you say that to me?" Cody asked as tears fell from his eyes.
"It's really not that hard." Zack said getting up nd leaving Cody there to cry.
Later that night...
"What's going on? Why are you two not speaking?" Maddie asked after watching the boys for three hours.
"Zack's, a jerk." Cody spat.
"Cody's an irritating cry baby." Zack yelled.
"Your a dope head!" Cody screamed.
"Go to hell!" Zack yelled shoving Cody backwards.
"ENOUGH!" Maddie yelled as loud as she could.
"I never, want to see either one of you talk to each other like that again. Never! Do you understand me?" She asked.
"Yes." Cody answered in a whisper.
"Zack?" Maddie called.
"If I said i was sorry, I'd be lying, so..." Zack said dryly looking at his feet.
"That hurts Zack." Cody cried running into his bedroom.
"So doesn't the fat that your my brother!" Zack screamed after him.
"I said stop that!." Maddie yelled.
"NO! Stop bossing me around!" Zack yelled running into his room.
"I hate you!." He spat at Cody.
Cody infuriated got up and punched Zack as hard as he could sending blood from Zack's mouth. Zack returned the punch to Cody's eye.
Cody reached out and grabbed a piece of wood. He hit Zack in the arm with it, causing him to scream in pain. Zack made one final hit at Cody's nose causing blood to fly out before Maddie entered.
"That's it. I tried to help you, but obviously I can't. I'm pregnant, and I can't take this."
"Maddie, I'm sorry, really." Cody said wiping blood from his nose, but actually just smearing it up his face.
"I'm not sorry, and I want to die." Zack said pulling a knife from his dresser drawer...
