Cody and Dustin ran into Zack's hospital room. When they entered they saw Carey in a favor by the bed and Zack facing the bed talking to her. She was in tears, wether it was from joy or anger they didn't know. Although Carey was crying she and Zack had smiles on their faces, and you could tell that they were happy he was awake. As they walked Carey and Zack looked at the two boys. Zack's smile instantly faded when he saw them.

"Get them out of here" he demanded suddenly making everyone jump. The confused faces only lead to another loud demand.

"Why honey" Carey said in her doting mother voice.

"I...I just don't want them here" he said almost sadly. Carey's fave was filled with confusion and Cody's was no better off.

"Honey, why don't you want them here. They came all the way here to see you. They were both really worried about you" Carey said. Zack looked over at Cody, he couldn't tell what his brother was thinking at that moment. All of a sudden Dustin spoke up

"I can understand you not wanting me here but don't kick Cody out. You almost gave him a heart attack when he found out. I swear he could have won a varsity letter in track with how quickly he ran over here while you were out" he said.

"Really" Zack said with an almost eager happiness to his question.

"Not only that but they both spent the night here with you last night while I got some sleep at home" Carey said. Zack's happiness was short lived after that comment.

"Both" he questioned.

"Yes both. They spent the night watching over you sleeping in this god awful chair" Carey said.

"Why did HE spend the night here" Zack scoffed gesturing towards Dustin.

"He was worried about you too Zack" Cody said.

"Well he doesn't have to be. This was a family matter and he had no right to know our personal business" Zack said infuriated.

"Why are you getting so mad Zack" Carey said.

"Because" Zack almost screamed "he had no right to know. He's not family, he doesn't need to know what happened. I don't like him and I don't like that he's with Cody. He should just leave it is his fault I'm in here in the first place" Carey looked shocked

"Now hold on Zack. You have no right to blame this on Dustin" Cody shot back at his brother "he was worried about you and even came to make sure you were ok. He even helped mom out by getting her a ride home so she wouldn't die of sleep deprivation" he said.

"I don't care what that slut did. Just because you hooked up with some cheap whore of a boy for what maybe a week more doesn't mean he gets to know our personal business. As far as I'm concerned he's just a little faggot who your using for sex when you feel like it" Zack shot at Cody. Dustin's eyes filled with tears, he quickly let go of Cody's hand and darted out of the room. Cody looked furious and Carey stunned.

"You know Zack just because your jealous of Dustin and that you don't get to fuck me anymore doesn't give you the right to be a dick" Cody said turning to go find his boyfriend. He stopped in the doorway "Oh and use that family excuse while you can, because in the near future it won't work" he said as he left the room. Carey sat their stunned at the cosmic amount of information she just heard. She shuffled in her chair causing Zack to realize that she once again was their. His face went white for a second

"Mom...I uh... Forgot you were there" he said meekly. She looked at him

"Zack I think we have a lot to talk about. You and your brother and I that is" she said calmly "however first we all need to cool down. While you do that I'm going to go check on Dustin make sure he's okay after that brutal attack that he didn't deserve" she said standing up and leaving the room. She found the two boys in the lobby Dustin had his knees to his chest and his face down, she could hear his slight sobs. Cody had his arm around the boy hugging him, she heard him consoling the boy saying it was okay. She walked over and sat down by the two boys. Dustin looked up trying to wipe the tears from his face

"Oh " he said with a hiccup trying to act tough and stop his tears.

"That was quite a show you guys just put on in their" she said softly. "Are you okay Dustin"

"Yea...yeah I'm fine. Sorry for the...the out burst...I'm really sorry" he said through sobs.

"For what. You have nothing to be sorry for. Zack was out of line attacking you like that. He had no right to" she said softly.

"It's just...just I want you guys to like me." He said still sobbing "I love Cody so much and...and I just want your approval"

"You don't have to worry about that. Anyone that cares for my Cody that much has my approval" she said. After about twenty minutes Dustin finally fell asleep on Cody's lap as Cody stroked his hair.

"I'm sorry about that in their mom. There were a lot of things said that probably came as a big shock" he whispered.

"Yes their was. If your up for it do you want to talk about some of it now" she said. Cody smiled sadly

"Yeah I guess we can" he said sighing.

"Well I guess my biggest question has to be by what you meant by Zack being jealous" she said. Cody sighed

"I guess you would have found out eventually" he said. She sat their quietly as Cody told her what had happened in the past few weeks. How Zack had a crush on him, they sold him as a rape toy, how Zack and him had hooked up after Zack comforted him. Everything that lead up to the events that unfolded that day. Carey sat their in silence listening, nodding she didn't say anything just listened. After Cody was done she looked at him

"So that's what's been going on" she said quietly.

"Are you...are you mad" Cody asked.

"I'm not sure at the moment. I need to hear Zack's side of the story first" she said.

"When you decide, if you decide to punish us I'll take whatever punishment you give us" he said. She smiled and got up to go talk to Zack

"Oh and mom" he said quickly.

"Yes" she replied.

"Dustin and I...are engaged. We are not planning on getting married a anytime soon but we are. I figured since I told you everything I should clear the air." He said sternly. Carey smiled at him

"You really do love him don't you" she said

"Yea mom, I really do" he said smiling as she walked away.
