Chapter Six: Not His Fault
Cody got onto the Grey Hound bus in front of him. He looked around at all the normal people. They didn't have his problems, they were all happy. He wished he was.
He took a seat near the back, by the window. He looked out it into the dark as the driver drove. He had no idea where he was going, but he had to leave, for good. Boston left too many memories, too many good times turned bad.
Cody looked up as the bus came to a stop. Three more people got onto the Grey Hound. Two twin boys and their mom.
"Leo, Lex, please stop fighting. Try and go to sleep." Their mom said.
"Mom, how do you sleep on the bus? Come on, get real." Lex told his mother.
Cody turned his head away, tears fell down his face as he remembered his first bus ride with Zack.
Carey and her boys got onto a town bus.
"Kids, stop acting like that. We're on a public bus, don't act like animals." Carey said taking a seat opposite he boys.
"It's my turn to watch TV." Zack whined to his mother.
"But mom, my show is coming back on tonight." Cody called.
"If you don't act your age, neither of you will be watching anything." Carey threatened.
"Fine." Zack huffed and slammed back against his seat.
Cody set back too.
Cody would let Zack have all of the TV time just to have him back. Cody's eyes fell on Leo and Lex again. They were shooting spit balls at people, their mother was reading a book and didn't notice.
Cody cried more.
"Stop!" He yelled to the driver.
The bus came to a hault.
"What is it son?" The driver asked.
"I want off." Cody said stepping off the bus. He watched the bus disappear down the road. He begin running. He ran as fast as he could. After an hour, he reached the Tipton. He took the elevator up to his suite. He threw the door open. Carey was on the couch asleep. She woke with a startled jump. Cody ran to her, she stood, looking at him.
"Mom, I know your mad, and I'm so sorry, but I love you. Don' make me lose you too." Carey poke, his tears made him sound younger than 17.
Carey took Cody in a hug.
"I'm sorry Cody, I love you too." She spoke softly, like a mother.
"But you didn't know Zack was going to die." Carey said looking Cody in the face.
"Yeah, I did. Don't you listen?" Cody asked.
"Yeah, I talked to Sherry about it. She said you two didn't talk. Don't blame yourself stuff things that you didn't do." Carey told him.
"But I did do it. I could have stopped it, but I didn't, I didn't even try." Cody cried.
"Well, today was my last visit to that jail. I will never see her again." Carey said taking her son in a hug again.
"Mom, I think about him all the time. I never stop. How do you move on when your stuck in the past?" Cody asked, his eyes red from crying too much.
"You don't." Maddie said appearing in the living room.
"We do." Carey assured them. "We will too."
"I won't mom, I never will. I just can't." Cody whispered.
A/N- There's chapter 6! I kinda have writers block, so this chapter wasn't my best work, I know, but they can't all be good. I think I'll add Four more chapters, and then this will all be over, I have the final Chapter planned. I think you'll be very shocked with my decisions, and my ending! Thanks for reviewing!
