The next day, I couldn't stop thinking about Zack. Whenever I closed my eyes, he was there. In every dream I had. He was all I was thinking about. I turned everywhere, I saw his face. I guess it had to be that way. Someone knocked on the door. First thought, Zack. I got up, walking to the door, opening it. Nope. Cody. He had a bunch of books in his hands.
"Here, these are for you, want me to help you?" He asked. I nodded, letting him inside. He sat on my bed, I closed the door, sitting beside him. "He didn't take the news so well, he hates me Cody, he hates me." I cried. He pulled me into in a hug. I rested my face into his shoulder, tears rolling down my face hugging him. "He has to calm down, Maya. Give him time." He whispered. I looked up at him. He reminded me so much of Zack, because they were twins of course.
I pulled away from him, wiping my eyes, staring down at my lap. "Thanks Cody, you're a great friend." I said with a small smile. Cody smiled too. "If you ever need me, I'll be here." he patted my shoulder. I was glad to have him as a friend. So we started to do homework. Cody's phone rang.
"Hello, yeah I'm here with Maya, why. What do you mean? I'm not doing anything! I'm helping with her homework! That's all! Bailey I'm tired of you accusing me of cheating! W-What?… Fine." Then he hung up. I bit my lip. "What happened?" I asked nervously. He put down his phone, looking upset. "Bailey thought I was cheating again and broke up with me." he whispered. I reached out and touched Cody's shoulder. "I'm so sorry Cody, I didn't mean to brake up you and Bailey." I whispered.
I felt so horrible. I felt like I was a danger magnet. "I felt we were going to break up anyway." He whispered under his breath. I pulled him into a hug. I felt so bad for him. They were so cute together. I never met Bailey but I always saw them together. I guess she never wanted to meet me. Though we were alike. He hugged me tightly, he was crying. I felt the tears roll onto my shoulder. They were warm. I had to make this right.
"Cody, do you want me to help you win Bailey back?" I asked with a smile. A sad one. He looked down, sighing. "What's the use. She hates me." He threw his hands up in the air, landing them into his lap. I smiled. "You should never give up on the one you love." I said. I shouldn't give up on Zack either. "Let's go hang at the sky deck. Maybe that will make us feel better." I said, standing up, pulling Cody up with me. He nodded, so we left to the sky deck.
I saw Zack on a date already. I tried to hold back my tears. She was pretty to. She had black hair, short lenth and dark eyes. She was tan. Maybe from Spain. I clenched my fist. I couldn't take it anymore. I broke down crying. I pushed my face into Cody's chest, gripping his shirt. He was really over me, was he. I felt his eyes staring at my back. Cody kept hugging me. Thank gosh Bailey wasn't there. I pulled away, looking at Zack for a few seconds. He looked at me too.
I took a step forward, then back. He was on a date, I remembered. I looked Cody lost in words. He looked lost too. I then looked back at Zack. I took a few steps, walking to his table. I looked over at his date. "Hi, I'm Maya." I said. She smiled. "I'm Melissa." She said. She held her hand out to shake. I grabbed it, shaking it. Zack looked like he was about to stand up. "Shouldn't you be in bed Maya?" He asked.
I looked at him. "Look Zack, I don't care if I'm bothering your date." I pointed at Melissa, looking at Zack. "I guess you moved on." I said trying to swallow my feelings. "I guess I have to move on too." I whispered. I covered my mouth tears rolling down, I ran off to my cabin. Cody followed me. I looked at him, shaking my head like crazy. "Cody, I can't do this! I can't be alone! I'm pregnant and I'm single, I have no one!" I screamed. He took a step closer. "That's not true." He said.
I looked into his eyes. I swallowed the lump in my throat. "I-I guess." I said, looking off to the side. He then kissed me. Not Zack, but Cody. He belonged to Bailey. But, I guess he wanted me. This seemed so mixed up. I kissed him back and pulled away. "Cody… you belong with Bailey, not me." I whispered. He then kissed me again. I tried to ease into the kiss but my boy felt so tense. It just didn't feel right. I pulled away once more. "Cody… " I said softly.
He sighed, running his hand through his hair. I guess I made him upset. "Look, I'm sorry." I said softly. He then looked at me. "Maya, I think I like you." He said. My eyes widen a bit. "No Cody you can't like me, your meant to be with Bailey!" I said, shaking my head. "No, if Bailey and I are not together anymore, we aren't meant to be." He said. I sighed under my breath. "Cody, please don't make this hard for me." I said walking to my cabin. He followed.
"Why do you like Zack? That guy who left you alone you being pregnant? He's not there for you, Maya, I am. I want to help you with the baby, the choices and stuff." he said. My heart stopped. I faced him. "You don't know that." I said crossing my arms. Cody put his hand on my shoulder, staring into my eyes. "Just…give me a chance Maya." He said. I closed my eyes, exhaling. "A chance at what, Cody." I said. I was confused on what he meant.
"A chance to be your boyfriend." His words hit me like slaps in the face. I started to sweat, putting my palm against my head. "Seriously Cody?" My heart felt like it was slowing down. He nodded. "Why wouldn't I be?" He questioned me back. I smiled slightly, grabbing his shirt, pulling him closer and kissed him. I guess Zack and I were done. Cody was second best.
