One Month Later

Cody lowered his head as the preacher started to speak before the many guests now seated in the funeral home's soft velvet chairs.He put his head in his hands and pressed the palms of his hands against his eyes.Anything to keep himself from crying.He knew Samantha wouldn't like to see him cry.

Zack looked over at his brother,a grim smile spreading across his face.

'Cody kept his promise...' he thought happily,looking up towards the ceiling,willing himself not to cry.He didn't really know Samantha,but he felt like he still knew her.

"She was a beautiful young woman witha wonderful personality.She was loved by all,and it showed through her bright smile." the preacher spoke sadly.

Cody clenched his teeth and let his fasts fall from his face.That preacher didn't know anything about Samantha.He didn't deserve to say all of those things about her.All of those lies.

'Noone loved her but me...' Cody thought fiercely. 'Noone here knows the half of Sam's story.'

He felt his anger boil over,until he couldn't take it any longer.He pushed himself up from his chair and stomped down the aisle,glaring down at the moving floor beneath him.

"Cody!" Zack hissed,chasing after pushed open the double doors and walked out into the bright sunlight. "Cody,will you stop?!"

He grabbed Cody by the shoulder and spun him glared at him with hateful tears in his eyes.

"That preacher had no right to say the things he did." he growled,looking down at the gray pavement.

"I know Cody." Zack replied sympathetically,patting him on the shoulder. "But don't get so upset over it.You know most about Sam,and that's all that matters."

Cody sighed and through his arms around Zack's shoulders. "Thank you," he sobbed into his shoulder.

Zack returned the hug and felt tears slowly leak out of his own eyes. "It's no problem,bro."

Cody pulled himself out of the embrace and wiped away his tears in embarrasment. "I'm such a crybaby."

"Yeah," Zack joked,patting him on the back. "Come on.Let's go home.Maybe Maddie's still on her candy shift."

Cody laughed as they both started to walk home to their suite.Sure,it was 20 minutes away,but Zack and Cody enjoyed the warm sunlight rays.

'I won't forget you,Sam.' Cody thought miserabley. 'I promise.'

A single tear fell from his eyes,but this time,it wasn't a tear of sadness.And by the time the boys entered the revolving doors of The Tipton,noone could have known about his previous sobbing.


(sobs) And that's the end of the story.Ta...da? Lol.Yeah,I know,it was really sucky ending.
