Chapter 5: Confused

Maddie kept still crying in Cody's car. That was unexpected, wouldn't knew they would be broken up already. Cody gave her a look and comforted her by patting her shoulder gently. She got comfortable and buried her face in his chest. They stood there, hugging.

Zack kicked the chair in frustration, but soon he was kicked out for moaning around and kicking chairs. Customers gave him looks, and soon the manager kicked him out. He ran trying to look for Cody's car, but it was no where in sight. He buried his face in his hands, and walked off to his car. Slamming the door harshly he drove away.

"Maddie… I'm sorry, I didn't mean for you guys to break up." Cody said, as he kept his eyes on the road.

"No, no, it's fine. Really" Maddie wiped her tears. Cody glanced at her, pretty surprised, then back to the road. He took a deep breath and asked.

"Um, well wanna head to the Tipton, your place, or my suite or—." Cody was cut off.

"My place, I don't want to bump into Zack…" She said sadly. She lowered her head and looked out the window, through the rest of the ride.

They finally arrived, she jumped out the car and Cody followed along. She swung the door in disappointment. Was it really over between them? Cody, felt guilty, he just wanted to have a special date with them, but seeing Maddie like this, wasn't the dream date he wanted. He stared in space, while Maddie just looked at him concerned.

"Coming in?" Maddie said. Cody, jumped, shook his head, and walked in the house. He closed and locked the door, while Maddie walked in her kitchen. He followed along and spotted her hands on the counter with her head down. She finally stood up and asked if he wanted a drink.

"Um, you live along huh?" He asked.

"Yeah" She said as she handed him a cup of water.

"Isn't kind of boring, and lon..lonely?"

"Well, yeah at night, but I usually stay at the Tipton for the rest of day…" Maddie answered politely.

Cody finished his drink and placed it down on the counter. Silence came, and they both stared in space. Cody's crush to Maddie was gone, it was more like love. He knew he couldn't do it, it's Zack's ex-girlfriend. Could he go through with it? Zack will never let him do that, not to other girls, but Maddie, Zack would do anything to get her back, just like when they were younger. He would get any girl he likes away from Cody.

"Maddie, I think I have to go.." Maddie looked up in amazement and don't forget disappointed. Cody saw that, it was his time to comfort her, but he was to big of a whimp to do so.

"Um, okay… let me walk you out" Maddie said, and led his way to the door.

"Uh.. bye" Cody said, and she replied whispering. She closed the door, and rested her back on the wall.

"Boys… they're so confusing" She said to herself. All she could think was why Cody left. "I thought he liked me. If he did though… he would stay.." She nodded her head and walked to her couch, watching T.V the whole day.

Cody, knocked on the door of his suite, no one answered. He grabbed his key and slid it right in, there he came in with Zack in the kitchen cooking with….

"Oh, hey Cody!" London greeted, as she chopped onions, surprising that Zack let her, her fingers would be gone by now.

"Um, hey, woah, um hey… London" Cody said as he nodded his head and running his hand through his hair. Zack gave him an evil smile, and London just giggled through the whole way of the staring battle.

Cody, walked in and slammed the door, angry as ever.

"What the HELL!? How could he do this to ME and Maddie! Trying to make her jealous!?"

He nodded his head a couple of times letting out his anger, then he opened the door and walked back to the pair was doing.

"Um. So, London, what are you doing here?" He asked.

"Oh boredom, and just came here to see Zack" She said as she moved her hand in motion in the air.

"The fuck? Since when did London started to like Zack? She's dating… Lance" And there it caught him, he decided not to say anything, and just let it slide, to see what will go on.

"Oh, yeah, well I guess that's what boredom brings you." He said stupidly. Zack gave him a grin as he stirred the soup.

A/N: OKAY. Sorry for the long update. I know this is SUPER short, but I'm really busy, and I don't just want to hang this document in my computer so I decided just to post it up as Chapter 5…
