Hi everyone. I am sooo sorry that I haven't updated in so long. I feel really bad!
But, I will try and update ore often, and that for my other story aswell. I just got another idea for another multi-chap story, and I was so engrossed in writing it, I completely forgot about this one and the island. My other story wont be up for a while though!
Warning: there is some swearing in this chapter.
Bailey sat alone in her mansion. The cold leather on the couch was getting uncomfortable, because she had sat down for too long. She went to get up to go to the bathroom, but couldn't move, because of all the empty beer bottles. Bailey rubbed her eyes, and tried to walk straight, but failed, and toppled over onto the hard floor, hitting her head.
When Bailey had left the SS. Tipton, she had wanted to stay the perky, smart farm-girl, whichever way her career took her. She had failed at that. Bailey hadn't had any contact with her family for years, after she heard that they were going to pass her over to marry Moose. In Baileys eyes, that was a death sentence.

"Hey guys! I'm about to board the plane, and I'll see y'all soon! I love you!" Bailey's message played in the empty living room of the Pickett residence. The machine beeped, signaling that the call was over.
Outside, the Pickett's were making an agreement.
"Yes. We'll do it" Maggie Pickett, Bailey's mum, sobbed.
"Good to hear that you've changed your mind" Moose snickered.
"You little rat! How dare you take advantage of our Bailey this way?" Joe Pickett, Bailey's dad, roared.
"Ah, ah, ah. I don't think it is good idea to upset me at a time like this... Remember, once Bailey is forced to marry me, your farm will be put in tip top shape, and we won't harm you ever again" Moose laughed.
"You better keep to this agreement! We don't do this lightly!" Joe yelled.
"Good! Then let me add to your guilt. You are giving your daughter away to a man she despises, not knowing if you'll ever see her again, and your doing it for your own selfish reasons. My, my, my, that is no way to treat your daughter!" Moose scolded.
Maggie sobbed harder. This was going to tear her family apart.
A few hours later, Bailey walked through the door to her home.
"Hello?" she called.
"Bailey. I've been expecting you" a voice from behind her said.
Bailey stopped dead in her tracks.
"What are you doing here Moose? I thought I told you to never go near me again" she hissed.
"Ah, but from here on in, youll have to wake up to my face everyday" Moose snickered.
Bailey spun around to se the offender.
"I already told you Moose. I will never marry you and become a farmers wife!" she yelled, glaring at Moose.
"But you don't have a choice. I am your fiancée` and you will do as requested. Your parents even said so" Moose said sharply.
"No! They would never betray me this way!" Bailey yelled in denial, hoping what she said was true.
Of course, what she hoped went out the window when she saw her parents standing at the door, guilt written all over their faces. They had sold her to Moose to protect the farm, she realized at once.
"How could you!" she yelled at them. "I am not marrying Moose, and I am never coming here again! I hope your happy, you just lost one of your daughters forever!" she screamed, tears streaming down her face.
"Bailey, please" Maggie begged.
"No mum! Im not dealing with this. Im done!" she yelled in Maggies face.
"Bailey! That wasn't nice!" Joe yelled at her.
"No, it wasn't! And neither was giving me away to that son of a bitch!" she yelled, pointing at Moose. "Goodbye!" she yelled, running out of the room with all of her things. On the way out she saw all her sisters playing in the dirt, but she kept running. She just wanted to get as far away as possible from this place.
Bailey bought a plane ticket, and that was when she decided that she was going to live in Boston.
"Hello? Listen, I know we haven't had anything to do with each other in a few years, but I need to talk to someone I trust" Bailey cried into her phone. That was also the time that she decided to contact her ex-boyfriend, Cody, for the first time in years.
End flashback
As Bailey remembered her time, she wished she could just cry and cry into his lap and, let him tell her everything was going to be okay. But it wasn't. Because he was the problem.
Flash back
"I'll have these thanks" Bailey growled, putting the money on the counter.
"All these?" the man asked in disbelief.
"What? You never had a women come in here and buy ten 6-packs of beer before?" she snapped at him.
"Not usually" the man whispered.
"Well I don't care what usually happens. Usually, your ex doesn't show up at the door of your office, and is suddenly your new assiastant" She snapped again.
The man just stayed quiet, and billed the money, then gave her the receipt.
Bailey walked over to her car, and stashed the drinks in the back seat.
On her drive home, the police pulled her over.
"RBT" the policeman ordered. (A/N- random breath test. They do them all the time in Australia)
Bailey then proceeded to take the test, and the machine said she hadn't been drinking.
When Bailey got home, she was surprised at home much mess she had made. Broken glass was every where. She tip-toed through her house, and went to the living room. There she proceeded to drink all the beer, while watching T.V.
End Flash back
Bailey got up from the floor and went to the bathroom. There, she washed her face and got ready to go to bed.
When in bed, she cried herself to sleep, not ready for another day.
Okay, I know its short, but I want to do what Codys going through in another chapter. As you can see, we found out a lot about Bailey I this chapter, and a another bomb in dropped in Cody in the next chapter, and I didn't want to put them together, 'cos I didn't want nyone to get confused. Hope it was worth the wait!
