Missing Ch 3

Zack was worried now. Very worried. He'd scaled every floor of the hotel and asked everyone he'd seen, but nobody had seen Cody.

He was now sat in the lobby, wondering where Cody could've gone. His mom was pacing back and forth behind him. He was sure Cody wasn't in the hotel anymore. He just didn't know where else he could be.

After Zack had told his mom that he couldn't find Cody, she'd called the police immediately, and now anxiously awaited their arrival.

Zack was feeling guilty again. Had he really hurt Cody that badly? He didn't want to think about it, but he knew Cody's disappearance was mainly his fault. If Zack hadn't been so hard on him, then Cody would still be here.

He could feel the tears welling up in his eyes. He didn't want to cry, not in front of all these people.

But he couldn't help it. He just let the tears fall.

Cody going missing was his fault and he knew it. He had hurt his brother and now there was a chance that he would never be able to apologise for it. If they never found Cody, Zack would never forgive himself.

I'm so sorry Cody. I never meant what I said to you before. I love you just the way you are. I love you Cody.

His mom noticed him crying.

"Aw, honey, it's ok. We'll find him, don't worry."

Zack leaned into her embrace.

It was then that the police walked through the door.

"Miss Martin?" one of the cops asked.

"yes" his mother replied.

The police then took her away to talk to her.

Zack stared down at his feet, still crying.

He felt someone put a hand on his shoulder, he looked up to see Mr. Moseby. Zack could see the worry in his eyes. Even though all the twins did was cause havoc in his hotel, he had grown rather attached to them.

"He'll be fine Zack"

Zack just nodded and looked back at his feet, not entirely convinced.

Until Cody walked through the revolving doors.

"CODY!" Zack yelled before running over and yanking his brother into a hug.

"Where have you been bro? We were worried about you."

"You were worried?" Cody asked uncertainly.

That one question almost broke Zack's heart. Did his brother really think he didn't care?

"yea, of course I was Cody, we all were. You're my baby bro, of course I care about you."

Cody glanced at Zack's face.

"Really?"

"Yea, really. I would be totally lost without you. I didn't mean any of the things I said yesterday. If I could take them back I would. I need you, Cody. I love you."

Cody could feel tears in his eyes.

"I love you too, Zack"

They smiled and hugged again.

Before they were attacked by their mother.

"Where on earth have you been Cody?! We've all been worried sick about you!"

"Sorry mom" Cody said sheepishly.

This proved to Cody that he wasn't alone in this world. No matter what happened, he would always have his brother.
