Chapter Eight: You Weren't There For Us
"So don't forget to pick us up some Candy while your at work today." Zack said feeling loads better after going off yesterday.
"I won't." Maddie smiled and left.
"So, you wanna go out today?" Cody asked Zack taking a bite of pop-tart.
"No. I have to practice for that dumb play I'm in. I have 94 lines." Zack said picking up a play script from the kitchen table.
Zack walked to the fridge and pulled out some ice cream and chocolate syrup.
"You really shouldn't eat like that if you don't want to be a cow for your play." Cody remarked as he flipped the TV on.
"It doesn't matter, the stupid costume designer made my costume so that I look skinnier than Nicole Richie anyway." Zack laughed.
Cody laughed too. A knock at the door silenced the boys.
"I wonder who it is." Cody said walking towards the door. He opened to reveal Kurt, the boy's dad.
"Hey boys!" Kurt said cheerfully holding his arms out for a hug. Zack and Cody looked at him in disgust and anger.
"Where in the freakin hell have you been?" Zack demanded.
"I was on the road, what's wrong with you boys?" Kurt asked taken aback.
"Nothing is wrong with us. We didn't have kids to go to after their mother died and they had no one. We aren't the bastard that calls himself our dad!" Zack screamed.
"Come on Zack. I'm here now." Kurt tried to sound unhurt.
"Well, we don't need you know. We needed you a month ago, but you weren't there, and now we have grown to hate you for it." Cody said looking at the floor.
"Boys, come one. Give me one more chance. You owe me Th..."
"We don't own you nothing. Nada, Zip, Zilch. We don't even owe you the right to see us now. So don't go there, Kurt!" Zack cut him off angrily.
Kurt was hurt by Zack's words. Zack had always called him dad, no matter what.
"If that's really how you feel." Kurt said looking towards the door."
""That's exactly how we feel." Cody reassured him.
"I guess I'll leave now." Kurt said opening the door.
"Don't let it hit you on the way out." Zack smiled bitterly.
Kurt walked out of the door. Tears fell from Zack's eyes. He had never been so mad in his life.
"It's okay." Cody tried to comfort him.
"I am sick and tired of you saying that it's okay! It's not okay Cody!" Zack yelled.
"Well, I'm the only one who seems to care what happens next." Cody retorted, his anger rising again.
"Why do you have to be my brother?" Zack screamed. "I freakin hate you!" He finished.
"I hate you more!" Cody yelled and threw a knife at him. The knife missed. Zack, still crying ran out of the suite.
"Wait Zack, I'm sorry!" Cody called as he chased Zack down the stairs.
