Chapter 4

I'll Help

Cody found Bailey in her cabin, lying on her chair, reading a book, crying. Cody walked up to her and sat down next to her.

"Are you alright, my little hay bail?" Cody asked, hoping she would giggle, because every time Cody called her that, she would giggle. But she didn't. She just sat there, looking at her book, not saying a word. She shook her head.

"Bailey, I'm very sorry for calling you an idiot. I was just so mad you weren't believing me." Cody hoped she would look up from her book, and she did.

"You really weren't kidding about the whole 'president and the Zack being dead thing' and the 'you being dead tomorrow thing?'" Bailey asked, just wishing Cody would nod his head. He did the opposite of what she wanted him to do. He shook his head.

"I would never lie to you, Bailey. Never." Cody tried to hug her, but she pushed him away.

"Bailey? What's wrong? I'm very sorry for calling you an idiot. If anything, I'd call you an idiot for calling myself an idiot. Wait, I mean, I'd call myself an-" That made Bailey give that award-winning smile that he loved so much. She kissed him on the cheek and said, "I'll help you, Cody. I'll help you kill this man. Well, I mean he's already dead, but-" Cody smiled. Bailey stopped talking and got lost in his eyes. Cody just let her be, picking up the book and reading the cover. It read, Supernatural Encounters.

"Bailey, why do you have this book?" Bailey snapped out of Cody Land and answered, "Oh, that. Yeah. Well, you see, Cody, I got that from the library, thinking I was crazy, also. I just wanted to see if you were crazy or not." Bailey put her head on his shoulder, sighing.

"Never listen to people who don't have proof," Cody stated. Bailey looked up at him.

"Do you have proof, Cody?" Bailey asked. Cody nodded.

"Well, then, let's see it." Cody just nodded again and took his phone out of his pocket. Cody had been recording the whole time Dead Zack had been talking. He pushed play and you could only see darkness, probably because it was in Cody's pocket. But you could still here Dead Zack's voice. Bailey gasped every 5 seconds. When the video was done, he pushed stop and put it back in his pocket.

"Did that sound like proof to you?" Cody asked. Bailey nodded, speechless.

"Good. It's 9:45, so I guess I'll be leaving. See you tomorrow. And hopefully the day after that." Cody looked at the floor and stood up. Bailey knew what he meant and said, "We'll stop him, Cody. If that man thinks he can kill you, he'd better think twice. He's not going lay a hand on my Cody. Never." Bailey stood up, also, kissing Cody on the cheek, and watched as he exited.

Cody was walking on the sky deck, wondering why no one was on it. He walked to the juice bar and made himself a smoothie. He sat down on a stool and started to drink it. When he finished, it was already time for curfew. He walked back to his room and pulled the handle. It was locked. He knocked and yelled, "Woody!" No answer. All of a sudden, Ms. Tutweiler appeared from behind. "You're laaaaaaaaaaaaate." Cody spun around. Nobody was there. Cody ran to Bailey's room. "You're laaaaaaaaaaaaate." Cody opened the door and found Bailey with a gun, pointing it right at Cody as he opened the door, as if she was prepared for him to come. "You're laaaaaaaaaaaaate." She pulled the trigger. BOOM!!!!!!!

Cody bolted upright. He looked at his clock. 9:30. Good thing it's a Saturday, Cody thought. He got up and showered, put some clothes on, and walked to the sky deck. While he was walking to his destination, he kept thinking why he was seeing Bailey as a killer. Well, besides Woody throwing him out of the porthole. But he saw Bailey behind him in the mirror. And Woody had red eyes, so maybe Bailey was controlling Woody. And the ship sinking. That had nothing to do with Bailey killing him. He walked onto the sky deck, feeling the sunlight hit his face. He walked up to Bailey, who was talking to some of her friends. She noticed Cody and ran to him.

"Today's the day, Cody. Today's the day." Cody nodded. He had to tell Bailey about the nightmares and that he was seeing Bailey as a killer. So he told her to follow him to his room. When they reached Cody's cabin, he opened the door. Cody sat down and Bailey sat down on his lap, putting her arms around his neck.

"Bailey, listen. I've been having nightmares every night since our wonderful date. And I keep seeing you as a…"

"As a what, Cody?"

"As a killer. Every nightmare I've had besides the ship sinking, I keep seeing you as a killer. I don't know why," Cody added. Bailey looked at him.

"What nightmares have you been having?" Bailey asked. So Cody described every detail to every nightmare he had had since their date. When he finished, he looked at Bailey, waiting for a reply.

"Oh, Cody. I can't be around you, I might hurt you." Bailey started to walk away, but Cody sat up and spun her around, and kissed her. Bailey just closed her eyes, enjoying every second of it. They broke it after about 7 seconds.

"You can't leave. If I die, I want you to be with me when I do. I love you, Bailey," Cody said. Bailey smiled.

"I love you, too." Bailey pecked him on the cheek.

"Not as much as I love you, my little hay bail," Cody said, waiting for that giggle that he loved as much as her smile. Cue giggling. Bailey giggled her usual farm giggle. They talked for a while, wondering what they were going to do. Once they were all set for the day that might change their lives, Young Zack walked in. Blech. They're rubbing their noses together, Zack thought. Cody noticed Zack's presence and looked up from his moment that he wished had started the day Cody met Bailey.

"Zack! Listen to this!" So Cody told him everything: The Dead Zack, the nightmares, the fight with Bailey, even the video recording because Cody knew that Zack didn't believe him.

"Pfft! You probably hired somebody to do that. Although it did sound like me. Sort of. Not really. Anyway, that's the lamest excuse of proof I've ever seen. Anyway, I'm going to go hit on girls on the sky deck. Later." Zack walked out.

"Guess it's just you and me, Bailey. And personally I'm fine with that," Cody said, smiling. Bailey smiled back and giggled as Cody winked at her.
