Zack tried his hardest not to show that Cody was still alive but after one year it became harder to hide because everyone forgot about Cody.

Zack's POV

I don't understand. Cody said he only had to stay on a farm for a little while. Where is he?

All this time it has been hard to hide the fact that Cody is still alive and these questions won't stop.

I walk along the busy street and head towards the Tipton. I missed the bus and now I had to walk. I watched the people walk past me in a blur. That was when I noticed a group of adults walking behind me. I stopped so did they. I pretended not to notice them and kept walking home. I felt weird pretending I wasn't being followed after all that had happened. They never caught the creeps who tried to shoot me but instead got Cody.

After being forced to bury Cody even though he was still alive, I just can't stand it anymore. Where are you Cody?! I want to scream to the sky until I pass out. I still haven't forgotten the promise I made that night when Cody disappeared into the night saying that he would come back.

"Zack!" came a shout.

I spun and tried to pinpoint the voice. My eyes landed on Sokai Mikyle. He had become my best friend, aside from Cody, in the past year. He had moved into the Tipton right next door to me a few days after Cody left. He was being picked on and I protected him. We instantly became friends and he would always make sure I got all my work finished. He spent more time at my hotel room then his own, I guess that's because he is a foster child and if he is with his foster family he remembers that he was forced to watch his parents being murdered. He has black hair with green tips and bright green eyes.

"Yo," I said as he approached me.

"Hey, look I have no time to explain but you have to come with me." Sokai said.

I could tell it wasn't a joke and as he turned I couldn't help but notice that no one was following me anymore. Sokai was walking fast and I had to run to keep up with him. We reached a diner before the sun had completely set.

"Alright I think we're safe for now," Sokai muttered as we sat down at a table.

"What was that all about," I asked.

"There were some people looking for you because of Cody. They know you know he is alive." He explained as a waiter brought us menus.

"What makes you think Cody's alive? I saw die a year ago." I asked narrowing my eyes.

"Oh please, you and I both know Cody's alive," he snorted.

I was surprised at his sudden knowledge. Then another thought came to me, how could Sokai know Cody was alive.

"Why are you saying Cody's alive?" I stalled.

"Excuse me young man," a voice said. "You look familiar."

I turned only to see one of the women who had helped kill Cody. I felt anger boil up inside me. She pulled a gun out.

"That's what I thought. You two will come with me," she commanded.

Sokai stood and began walking. I followed suit.

Review. I own nothing.
