Sleep wasn't coming easy for Cody Martin. The machines and monitors continually beeped and blinked keeping him up, making Cody wished he was still in his coma so he wouldn't hear them.

His mother came to visit daily making him feel comfortable and relaxed and Zack was by his side 24/7 holding him and sleeping with him.

Yes, Cody very much appreciated his family's help but nothing they did would compare to want he wanted to do. Just go home.

But that wasn't an option; Dr. Cantor had told him countless times that he needed to say for observation.

He didn't want this though, he wanted to put this business of the rape behind him, he wished someone could just erase what had happened, and go back to when he and Zack were happy.

Well, somewhat happy, they did have to hide from everyone, keep their relationship a secret.

Cody sighed, life was complicated.

He lay back in the bed, sprawled on top of the covers, he was alone right now, Zack and gone down to look for a bathroom.

Cody was sure he'd return any minute though and crawl on the bed and cuddle beside him

It's not that he didn't want Zack there; it's just… he needed a little time to himself and one five minute break to the washroom wouldn't cut it.

Just as Cody began to doze off above the covers Zack walked in.

"Hey Codes" he smiled brightly walking over to the bed, "you okay?"

Cody turned to look at him with tired eyes, "Mmm yeah, I'm fine".

He moved over in the bed to make room for Zack, who crawled in beside him.

"So how's life?" Cody asked snuggling up to Zack's chest and closing his eyes, listening the pounding of Zack's heart.

"Now that you're awake, it's perfect" Zack's chuckled "that was pretty cheesy eh?"

Cody chuckled knowingly "a little", "but I could use some cheesiness right now" he yawned and opened his eyes.

"Zack" he started looking out the nearest window, at the beautiful blue sky, "do you think I relationship was good before all this?"

Zack sighed "to be honest" he paused "no and yes".

Cody looked up at him strangely "what the heck does that mean?" he asked.

Zack chuckled ""Well, yes because now you're in the hospital recovering from being in a coma, after being brutally raped". "And no because, we had to keep it a secret from Mom of all people and…", "we've never had moments like right now, where we just sit quietly and talk, taking back on everything".

Cody smiled at his brother, "that one of the sweetest and most knowledgeable things I've ever heard you say"

Zack looked down at his twin "thanks" he bent down and pecked Cody's lips lightly, wrapping an arm tightly around his waist.

Cody snuggled back down against his brother closing his eyes.

Yes, life was complicated right now, but that didn't mean it was impossible. Zack was there by his side, his Mom and friends. He wouldn't have to go through it alone, he had family.

He looked up at Zack, his eyes were closed and he was breathing softly.

That's right, he had Zack, and he knew Zack would always be there.

So whatever life would throw at him, and put him through, he'd never go through it alone.

And that he greatly appreciated.

Another chapter ended.
