Zack and Cody slammed their car doors shut,two loud BANG!s filling the silent air of their grandmother's driveway.They heard the gravel crunch beneath their feet as they slowly made their way to the door.
"Ok,dears." their grandmother smiled as she took out the keys to her front door out of her purse,pushing open the door. "You can take your bags to the guest room.There you will find two beds,and I just recently hooked up a T.V. in there."
Cody looked over to his brother and sighed.Another T.V. for Zack to hog for himself?
"The guest room is down the hallway,first door to the left." she said,watching the boys walk down the narrow hallway. "Oh! And please be quiet.Ian is in his bedroom,and he'll be mighty upset if he was to be disturbed."
The brothers exchanged quick glances before opening their new bedroom door.Who was this...Ian? And would he be friendly to them when he found out that they were now living with him?
Zack threw his bags onto his bed and quickly followed by plopping along side it.He ran his fingers through his hair and gently placed his bags on his bed and quietly sat down,drumming his fingers on his knees,looking around the bedroom with curiosity gleaming in his bright blue eyes.
The room had a roomy and comforting look to it.A soft blue paint graced the walls,while a plush kakhi rug covered the floor.
'By tomorrow,we won't even be able to see the floor.' Cody thought to himself,reminding himself of Zack's messy habits of simply throwing his possesions on the floor.
"Hey," Zack said,interrupting Cody out of his looked over at his brother,his head slightly tilted to one side.
"What?" he replied dully.He was tired,and didn't really feel like talking.Why was he so exhausted?
"What do ya say we go check out this 'Ian' dude?" Zack whispered to Cody,always wanting to get in trouble whenever an oppurtunity comes his way.
Cody sighed and fell backwards onto his bed.All he wanted to do was think.Think about mom...
'No.' Cody screamed to himself,absent-mindedly placing his hands over his ears and shutting his eyes tight. 'I'm not gonna think about Mom.We're starting a new life...a happy one.'
Cody tried to believe the lies he was telling himself,but he knew that those thought weren't true.No matter how hard he tried to believe.
He opened his eyes and glanced over at his brother,who was still staring at him.Sighing,he pushed himseld off of his bed and walked over to him.
"Fine.But I don't want you acting stupid." Cody said fiercely.He knew his brother,and Zack didn't give a flying whoop what other people thought about him.
Zack just smiled and walked past Cody,opening their bedroom door.He started to walk across the hall,Cody at his heels.
He was just about to turn the doorknob when Cody smacked his hand,hard,and pushed him out of the way.
"Ow!" Zack hissed,waving his stinging hand in the air. "What was that for?!"
"Why don't you try knocking?" Cody hissed back in reply.
'Count on Cody to still remember his manners.' Zack thought to himself,rolling his eyes and placing his hands on his hips.
Cody hesitantly knocked on the hard wooden door and waited for an answer...nothing.He placed his ear against the cold door,expecting to hear something in the room,but all he could hear was silence.
He felt himself be pushed out of the way,and he toppled onto the floor.Elevating himself on his elbows and rubbing his head,he glared up at Zack.
"Son of a-" Cody began.But he was caught off by Zack's loud knocking. BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Zack!" he gasped. "What if Ian doesn't want to be disturbed?!"
He pushed himself up from the floor and punched Zack in the arm.
"Why you-" Zack said,starting towards Cody.But all Cody did was put his finger to his lips and reply with soft shhhh.
Once again he pressed his ear against the door and listened.He heard soft rustling coming from inside,and then a large thunk!
"That's good enough of a welcome for me." Zack shrugged,stepping in front of Cody and pushing open the door to Ian's bedroom.
"Zack-!" but Zack was already in Ian's bedroom,and slowly,Cody followed.
"Woah," Zack whispered,turning to look at Cody,his eyes wide.
"Well,what did you expect?" Cody hissed,glaring at him. "It's just a normal room...see?"
Cody outstretched his arms,motioning around the room.And it was normal.Just a normal room with normal white walls with a normal khaki rug.
Zack sighed.
"How dull." he murmured.
He walked over to the closet and pulled it open,grunting,and was surprised by the heavy weight of it.
A soft chuckle escaped his lips as he said to Cody over his shoulder, "Looks like we've got a Goth on our hands,Cody."
He heard Cody walk up beside him,and was taken aback as he felt hip whomp him on the back of the head.
"Hey!" Zack yelled,spinning around. "What was that for?!"
"Don't label," Cody replied dully,glaring at him.
Zack scoffed as he turned around,running his fingers through his hair and wincing as his hand touched the soft bruise now forming on the back of his head.
"Let's see what else he's got in here..." he whispered,kneeling in front of the closet,starting to dig through piles of paper,clothes,and black boots.
"Uh...Cody?" Zack whispered,his voice slightly quivering.
Cody sighed and kneeled beside his brother. 'I'm not in the mood for practical jokes,Zack.' Cody thought to himself.
But he soon dound himself gasping as Zack pulled out a dark shoe box out of the closet,the lid lost somewhere in the now messy closet.
Various razors were collected in the box.Small,big,and many different shaped razors were the only contents in the box,besides a small and sharp piece of glass.
"Does he...cut himself?" Zack and Cody whispered in unison.
They both gasped as they heard the doorknob turn,and saw the door slowly open.
Wow.This is the longest chapter I've written. :D
Anyways,I guess you're staring to get the feel of what type of character Ian is going to be like.Although,Zack and Cody did kind of jump to conclusion when they found the razors.
cough cough Ian cuts himself. cough cough
I am not trying to diss,or disrespect anyone who really does cut themselves.It's just for the story.
Please review! Reviews make me happy. :)
