Zack

Zack walked out of the shower to find his mother making the bed she was about to say good morning when Zack silenced her with a swift finger to his lips.

"Cody isn't feeling well this morning" he whispered "he was throwing up this morning and is going to stay home from school. I brought him back to bed and he's probably asleep so stay quiet please".

His mother nodded her okay then went back to what she was doing. Zack quietly went to his room and opened the door. He wanted to be quick in their so as not to disturb Cody who he could see had already drifted back to sleep. He grabbed his backpack and everything else he would need for school. As he passed my Cody he couldn't resist giving he head a gentle pat before exciting the room and closing the door behind him. As he went through his normal routine all he could think about was what Cody had said. The words one time thing rang through his head and made him feel a bit queazy himself. As he finished getting ready he gave his mom a kiss goodbye then darted out the door for school. As Zack entered school his mind changed from Cody to something else. He headed to the science hallway on the fat side of school. It was the emptiest hall due to all the strange smells. Once he reached the hall he headed through the door to the stair wells walking past and behind them to the small hidden opening. As he turned the corner he saw Theo, Alex and Jack waiting there.

"You're late" Theo grunted

"I know I had to take care of Cody this morning you guys really did a number on him." Zack retorted with a glare "now if you'll be so kinda as to give me my money I'll be on my way"

Theo stood up and pulled out a was of cash handing it to Zack. "There you are two hundred and eighty dollars"

"Wow wow wow hold up we agreed on three. Your missing twenty here buddy" Zack replied with a demanding tone.

"Yea we took twenty because Alex here only got a blow job and not a turn on that sweet ass your brother has" as much as Zack wanted to complain he didn't want to risk anything. He reluctantly agreed, stuffed the cash in his pocket and headed to class.

Cody (earlier that morning)

Cody jumped when he heard the door squeak open. He quickly turned over and closed his eyes. He was hoping it wasn't his mother entering the room after hearing he was sick. He wanted to avoid all questions right now. He waited with anticipation for the person to leave. As soon as he heard shuffling he knew it was Zack just coming for his things. He smiled at how long it took Zack and how unorganized he was. All of a sudden he felt something on his head. He jumped a small bit but calmed down when he realized it was Zack stroking his hair. God how much he loved when he did that. It always felt so nice and comforting. As soon as he thought this he froze and questioned what he just said to himself. Why would he think that. He didn't like Zack or anything but he still thought that.

As soon as Zack left Cody drifted off to sleep only to be half women by a small clanking sound. He opened his eyes half lidded and saw his mother who smiled at him. She placed the tray she was carrying down kissed Cody on the head and left. Cody stumbled to get over to the tray. On it were a few things his mother always did to make him feel better: cinnamon toast, tea and a note.

Cody took a bite of the toast, it was the easiest thing he had to swallow in the past eighteen hours he thought chuckling to himself as he read the not:

"Dear Cody,

I hope you feel better and I'm sorry I can't stay home to take care of you. Zack should be home at three or so but I won't be home until well past midnight. If you need anything ask Zack when he gets home. He may be a trouble maker but he's a good brother.

Love ~mom""

After Cody read the note he felt a twinge of worry. He was going to be alone with Zack. This made him nervous for some reason. His mind raced what if Zack was mad at him what if Zack tried to do something to him. His worrying was only interrupted by a dash to the bathroom. Once he got back to his room he fell asleep and didn't wake up until he heard the front door click open.

Ok guys this is my last chapter for the weekend. I'm not sure how much I can write on weekdays but hopefully I'll put up another chapter or two. I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
