Zack and Cody were now in the hospital waiting room.

Zack looked over at his brother and saw him staring at the wall across from them.

"Hey.Would you snap out of it?" Zack muttered,eyeing Cody's blank face.

"She didn't deserve this..." he replied,shaking his head.

Zack took him by the shoulders.

"Snap out of it!" he yelled,shaking him. "She got hit.We can't change that! But what we can do is hope for the best! So stop being so negative!"

He let go of his brother,leaned back in his chair,and sighed.

But the sudden ringing of Zack's cell phone made both of them jump out of their purple vinyl seats.

"Christ," Cody hissed,closing his eyes and exhaling.

Zack flipped open his cellphone,making the ringing cease.

"Hello? Hi mom.I know.We're at the hospital.No,we're fine.Sam got hit by a passing car,but we don't know when we're going to be able to see her.I know.Yeah,Cody's fine.We'll be home as soon as we can.Ok.Love you too.Bye."

He closed his cellphone and looked over at Cody.

"That was Mom," he said,waiting for Cody to reply. "She said she wishes for the best for Sam."

Cody scoffed.

"Oh please," he said bitterly. "I know what she thinks of her.Didn't you see how she looked at Sam when she walked through the door?"

Zack sighed.

"I told you to stop," he insisted.

"Why don't you make me!" Cody yelled,getting up.

"Fine! I will!" Zack yelled back,ready to throw Cody against the wall.

'I'm so fed up with Cody's moping!' he thought fiercely.

"Uh..."

Zack and Cody turned their heads to look at the female nurse that had walked into the waiting room.

"You can go see Samantha know.She's awake,but still very weak.Please talk softly."

Cody pushed himself out of his chair and followed the nurse to room 127,Zack at their heels.

The nurse opened the door,and both Zack and Cody gasped.

Samantha was lying in a hospital bed,bruises and deep gashes covering her face and arms.

Cody walked up to her bedside and tried to hold back the tears.

"Hi Sam..." he said quietly.

"H-hi Cody..." she replied weakly,wincing as if talking caused her pain.

"How are you feeling?"

'What stupid question was that?' he thought. 'She just got run over and I ask her how she's feeling!'

"Fine.Just really weak."

"You scared me you know." he said quietly,just a hint of bitterness in his voice.

"...I know." she replied,her eyes glistening.

Cody felt anger build up inside of him.

'How could she scare me like that...' Cody thought fiercely.'...and not even act like it mattered?'

He felt his rage slowly boil over.

And without thinking,he lunged towards her,smacking her against the face.

"You scared me and you don't even care!" he yelled,tears streaming down his face. "You understood me! And you were willing to leave me!"

He continued to slap her until Zack jumped in and pulled him away,pinning him against the wall.

"You could have died!" he screamed,struggling to get away from Zack's grip. "Do you know how much grief you would have caused? I would have killed myself!"

Zack grunted as Cody kicked him in the leg,doing anything to get away.

"Cody,I'm sorry!" she cried,tears streaming down her face.

"Hell you are!" Cody screamed,still kicking. "Don't you even care! You might think that your parents don't love you,but I do! Doesn't that count for something!"

He felt himself break down,and he slowly slid down the cold wall.

"Cody..." she said,pure hurt in her voice.

"I love you...doesn't that count for something?" he repeated,burying his face in his hands.

Samantha slowly pushed herself up from the hospital bed,grunting.It hurt to walk,but she didn't care.

She walked over to Cody's shaking body and kneeled before it,wrapping her arms around him.

"I'm sorry..." she said,sobbing into his shoulders.

He wrapped his arms around her,trying to stop his own tears.

Standing up,he grabbed her by the waist,helping her onto her feet and back to her hospital bed.

Zack just stood there,watching the whole time.

'How can he get a girl,and I can't?' he asked himself,smiling.

"I think these belong to you..." Cody said,producing a pair of cracked purple goggles from his sweater pocket.

She let a weak laugh escape her lips,and wiped the tears from her face.

But she hissed,accidently touching one of her cuts.

"I deserve to se her! She's my daughter! I have the right to tell her to her face what a burden she's been to me and my husband!"

There was a ruckus outside the hospital door.

"No..." Samantha whispered,closing her eyes.

"Who...who is that?" Cody asked quietly,returning his glance from the door to Samantha.

"My mother." she replied,her voice shaking.

Alright.So Sam's parents are finally being brought into the story...yay?

Hm...what was the whole point of this chapter? Oh expressing his love for Sam. Corny,yes,I know. xP

Let's see.Should I start writing Chapter 14,or should I start a new story in between chapters? I wonder...
