Again, i own Nothing sourced from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody

Kurt and Carey sat down on the visitors chairs in Zack and Cody's new rooms, Zack still didn't fully feel like his parents were with him, but he was starting to feel it more, and even perhaps he was beginning to reconcile their faces with his memory.

"Boys, there's something we have to tell you, about one of your little friends" Carey began, Zack still didn't know about Tapeworm, and Carey wasn't sure if Cody did or not, so she thought now was the time to say it.

"Apparently tapeworm was at the cinema on a date at the same time as you guys, but, he didn't make it out alive" Carey glumly told her boys, Cody's reaction was one of sadness, but lacked the shock of Zack's, telling her that he indeed already knew.

"Oh no, Tapeworm, is everyone else alright though? I mean, all our friends?" Zack asked, obviously very distressed by the news.

"Yes honey, everyone else is OK, max is upset obviously, and she wants to see you, maybe later today or tomorrow. Are you OK Zack?" Carey responded

"I really don't know, it's just so sad, but with Cody here I'll get over it, with time" Zack replied, a tear making its way down his face

"I know you will honey, how are you doing Cody?" Carey asked, Cody hadn't spoken much since she had entered the room, she knew he was probably still angry at their proposal to separate him and Zack, but she also knew it would do no good to mention it in front of Zack.

"I'm getting by" Cody quickly answered, there was no real emotion behind it, Carey could tell he definitely was not faring well, Cody had always been the more sensitive son, the one who would be most effected, but Carey didn't know any of the underlying story about London, and only a little amount of what happened inside.

"do you want to talk about it, about what's happened, about what your feeling?" Carey asked

'NO!" Cody shouted, shocking everyone

"Cody, what's wrong?" Zack asked, a look of utter fear on his face, he was so fearful for his brothers well being.

"You don't know do you Zack, they wanted to separate us, they wanted to leave you alone, they don't know what happened in their, they don't know what's going on inside my head, no one knows, and no one understands!" Cody yelled, everyone was shocked, Zack looked hurt and Carey broke into tears

"I'm sorry, Cody, you know I was only doing what I thought was best, Zack couldn't handle being with us, and I didn't think you would be able to cope if you had to deal with it on your own" Carey cried out

"And you thought Zack would be OK all on his own" Cory roared, all the anger that had built up inside him was now being flooded out onto Carey, it wasn't all her fault, in a more logical state of mind Cody would probably have been able to recognise the logic behind her suggestion.

"Cody, it's ok, I understand" Zack pleaded with him, it hurt him to hear that Carey and Kurt had thought about separating them, but he didn't think any good would come from getting into a shouting match, it would only make Cody even more hot headed.

"NO! it's not alright, no one bothered to ask what's going on with me, what I thought, don't you all know how confused I am, what's wrong with me, all the underlying issues" Cody yelled as Zack

"We've said over and over you can talk about it" Kurt retorted, now slightly angry

"You say it like its so easy, you weren't there, you couldn't understand, please, Kurt, Carey just go, I want to be alone with Zack, just go, I don't want to see you" Cody said, his volume had lowered but his voice was still somewhat raised.

"OK, we'll go" Carey said through her strong tears.

Kurt hugged Carey and together they walked out into the hall. Maddie was standing outside in the hall

"What happened?" She asked

"Cody's not dealing well with everything, he wanted us to go, he wants some time alone with Zack" Kurt replied

"Oh, OK, well I'll go and call Moesby maybe, give Zack and Cody these for me when you go in" Maddie said giving Kurt the supplies she had brought up from the cafeteria.

"Cody, Man, what's wrong, tell me about it, I'm here for you" Zack said to his brother, Cody was so vulnerable, and he looked so sweet and depressed, inside Zack was hurting, but he was better at keeping his feelings at bay, Cody had always been more emotionally effected than Zack and now Zack just thought it was the best thing to listen to what Cody had to say.

"It's just everything, it's so hard, I miss London already so much, I was in love with her I think, and loosing her has hurt so much…" Cody cried

"I'm sorry, I had no idea you liked her that much, though I did notice you getting closer over the last few months" Zack replied with empathy

"…And tapeworm too, a great friend gone like that, just erased, him and London"

"No Cody, they haven't been erased, as long as they live in our memories they have never been erased" Zack smiled at Cody

"I know, and you Zack, I feel like its my fault, everything that's happened to you, you almost died so many time, I almost gave up hope of ever seeing you again" Cody began to cry again

"It's OK Cody, I love you, I was never going to leave you, and none of this is your fault, it's the fault of those evil people who blew up all those people, we made a promise to each other and I'm never going to leave you, not ever" Zack comforted Cody so much with these words, Cody smiled and Zack and finally, he was able to change the subject to a more happy tone.

"So, do you still like Maddie?" Cody asked

Zack smiled back and said "well yes I do, even more so now, but now isn't the time to have a relationship going, our focus needs to be on getting better, and getting through all this" Zack replied.

"Yeah, I guess, I think Maddie might like you too, maybe you guys will work out sometime" Cody happily replied.

"So Zack is there anything you want to talk to me about, I'm all ears buddy, I'm so sorry you don't recognise Mom and Dad, but I hope you do eventually" Cody asked

"It's scary, really scary, without you I'd feel completely alone I think, I'm glad I'm a twin Cody" Zack said

"So am I" Cody replied.
