I own nothing from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

Cody martin began to groggily wake up in the spare room of the Martin's suite, his memory of the previous nights activities was blurry at best, he remembered being at the memorial, meeting max, going back to the hotel with her and…Cody groaned in realisation at what had happened, his realisation at why he had woken up hung-over and naked in the spare bed.

Zack was still not back from Bob's and Carey was due home later that afternoon, Cody needed to talk to someone, he was so confused and felt so guilty and so stupid for doing it. He figured Max thought it was stupid as well since she was well and truly gone and Cody didn't know where she was staying in Boston so he couldn't speak to her. It was such a blur, he didn't know why he did it, he was so drunk, but what they did was so good, it relived all the pain in the world, he had felt like an actual living person for that small amount of time again.

Cody was trying to think of whom to go and see, he needed to talk to someone about what had happened, about what was going on in his head. Cody didn't want to talk to Zack, it would have been awkward, and he didn't think Zack would have anything much useful to say, since Zack's encounters with girls usually were pointless pursuits and had little meaning, this was something full of meaning, something warm and pure, and directly related to his feelings about London. Cody felt so guilty; it was like he had abandoned London's memory.

Cody thought long and hard as he showered and got dressed in the empty suite about who he could go and see, he couldn't keep what had happened bottled up, but it was awkward to talk to most people about. Cody knew there were only two people he could really talk to, the two people who he had developed a strong resentment for during their relationship, Zack and Maddie. Eventually Cody decided on Maddie, he had wanted to see her anyway, hopefully he could actually talk to her now without Zack.

In Cody's rush and muddled, hung over mind, he left the suite far too hastily to write Zack and Carey a note, and too fast to remember to take his cell phone along, all he grabbed was his car keys before running downstairs to the valet station. Arwin and Esteban saw Cody in the lobby and said cheerful good mornings; Cody politely replied but intentionally did not get into any conversation beyond the pleasantries. The hotel valet brought Cody's car around, he was always pleased to get business from Cody since the car was so nice to drive around to the front.

Maddie was at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, which was about a 2 and a half hour drive from Boston. Cody had driven down to Maddie's new apartment in New Haven on the water when she had been going out with Zack so he still had it programmed in his GPS navigation; it set him on his way, the sad and Confused Cody making his way to New Haven, Connecticut.

Maybe an hour after Cody had hastily left for Connecticut Zack arrived back at the hotel, he had gone out with Bob and ended up staying to night at his place, knowing that Cody and Max should be left alone to talk, he never expected anything like what had happened would have taken place though. When Zack returned to the hotel suite he found the room left in quite a state, on the coffee table were empty glasses and bottles of scotch, vodka and beer. The couch cushions were scattered all over the floor, it was obvious that something had been going on in there the previous night.

"Wow, what the hell did Max and Cody get up to last night?" Zack said to himself.

"Cody?" he called out? "You here man?" he yelled again after getting no response, he wondered where Cody was. Zack thought to check his and Cody's bedroom, thinking he may still be asleep; after all it wasn't that late in the day, only about eleven. Zack became worried when he went into their bedroom and found that Cody's bed hadn't been slept on, his mind started to jump to conclusions, with the messed up lounge and lack of slept in bed he started to worry that something weird had happened. Going out back into the lounge Zack noticed the door of the spare room had been left ajar, this was odd as it was barely ever used or entered and usually remained closed.

Zack entered the room and was shocked again by what he saw, the bed clothes were all messed up, it was obvious that it had been slept in at least. Zack went over to the bed and looked closer at what was in there, he was astonished by what he found, on the bed lay a red bra, obviously left behind by someone, and on the floor were a pair of Cody's boxer shorts.

"Wow Cody, just what the hell did you and Max get up to last night" Zack again said to himself, though even for someone who could be as dense as Zack it was fairly obvious just what had happened in that bed the previous night, but it nevertheless came as an enormous shock.

The question still remained of where Max and Cody were though however, and when Zack tried to call Cody's cell phone he heard it ring in the lounge room and instantly his heart sunk.

Zack thought there was a chance Cody had gone to the pool, gym or game room somewhere in the hotel but this hope was dashed when Zack called the valet station and was told that Cody had left in quite a rush around an hour ago.

By this point Cody was well on his way to New Haven, travelling down the I-85 almost at Hartford, Connecticut, still a complete muddle about what had happened, how stupid it had been. Cody began to worry about things like Max getting pregnant, or him catching something, he knew that wasn't a high likelihood though unless Max had been lying to him about being able to hook up with anyone since Tapeworm's death. It wasn't something his 17 year old mind could fully compute, he hoped the older and wiser Maddie would be able to impart some wisdom on him about what he should do. Cody was also at a complete loss of how to contact Max urgently, he had her email, but he had no idea where in Boston she was staying, her family no longer lived there after all. Thoughts had begun to enter Cody's mind about how Max knew just where he would be, or why Zack wasn't at the suite when he had planned to spend the night with Cody, did Zack organise all this? Surely he wouldn't have planned on all of this craziness happening, but did Zack set this all up? Cody didn't know.

Cody's confusion and horrible feelings were nothing however compared to what Max was feeling in her room at the Holiday Inn Boston, she was so confused, and she didn't have anyone much she could talk to in Boston, she didn't want to tell her family, she certainly didn't want to tell Zack, and she was sure she wouldn't be able to face Cody for quite a while indeed.

Zack didn't know what to do about all the situation, he was worried about where Cody was, he didn't know what state of mind he would have been in, he didn't know what Cody would do.

Zack figured the best thing to do was to call Max at the Holiday Inn, he wouldn't ask about what they specifically got up to, he had imagination enough to work it out for himself, and it was not something he particularly wanted to think about, but he hoped Max would have some idea where he could have gone.

"Hello?" Max answered her phone

"Hey Max, it's Zack" Zack replied, Max instantly tensed up, did Zack know? Was he going to be angry?

"Hi Zack, what can I do for you?" she replied, trying to remain cool

"Do you know where Cody is? I got home and he's not here, he's taken his car but left his cell phone and no note" Zack asked sounding worried, Max was shocked that Cody was gone, she became worried as well, she started feeling guilty for not staying around.

"No, I don't know" she replied.

"Oh well, thanks, bye" Zack replied, hanging up, feeling even more worried than ever.

Zack noticed the time

"Shit, mom's going to be home soon" he said to himself and started to frantically clean the lounge and guest room up, he didn't want Carey seeing the evidence of Cody's debauchery. Carey arrived home not long after Zack had finished cleaning; she was nicely tanned from her holiday in the Riviera.

"Hey Boys" she called out as she entered

"It's just me Mom" Zack replied, sounding at little worried which Carey instantly picked up

"Zack, where's Cody?" she asked, sounding a little worried himself.

"I don't know, I went out with Bob last night and when I got home he was gone, he's taken his car but left his cell phone" Zack replied

"I'm sure he's fine" Carey tried to reassure Zack "have you called around to see if he's at anyone's house?" she continued.

"Yes" Zack replied, he had called Barbara after he had finished cleaning, he had known it was a long shot he would go there given the circumstances.

"What about Maddie? Would he have gone to see her?" Carey replied, Zack had thought a little of this, he didn't think it too likely though, he wouldn't have been able to reach new haven that quickly yet.

"Maybe" Zack replied, he didn't want to call Maddie though, it was too awkward.

"I'm sure he'll call later" Carey replied, she was a little worried, but not too worried, Cody could look after himself she thought, but she of course did not know the whole story.

Cody pulled up at Maddie's fancy apartment building on the waters of new haven, it was a place where the wealthiest of Yale's student's had places, mostly with their parent's money, Cody thought Maddie was probably the only person paying herself. Cody went up the lift to the top floor penthouse where Maddie lived and knocked on the door; Maddie opened and looked at the sunken and deeply worried looking Cody before her

"Wow, Cody, what's wrong? You look awful? Come inside, do you want a drink?"

Another chapter finally, I've been busy the past few days so it took me 3 or so days to be able to write this one up, hope you like it, tell me what you think?
