A/N: Been awhile, not feeling the creative flow. But the wait is over, so here ya go! Also, this is several days after the last chapter.
Bailey was sobbing in what was now her room.
"Cody..." She mumbled through her tears. Then there was a knock at the door. She went to open it, and found a letter there. She was starkly reminded of that time back on the S.S. Tipton...It seemed so long ago. She picked it up, and started reading it.
Dearest Bailey:
I am going away. Far away, where no one will ever find me. For if no one can find me, then I won't be able to hurt anyone but myself. I'm sorry that I have to leave you, but I couldn't stand it if I hurt you. Please don't try to find me, I need you to understand this. This is all for you, Bailey. I hope that, in time, you will be able to love another, because if you stay with me, there's every possibility that I'll end up hurting you. Please, for the sake of all that's holy, don't follow me. Try to suffice yourself with keeping the memories we have together. Remember the time we snuck out after curfew, and took an amazing walk around the Sky Deck? Then Kirby caught us, and we got in so much trouble! Or when I came all the way to Kansas to tell you that I still loved you. Bailey...please, don't come after me. I love you, and I couldn't live with myself if I caused you the slightest bit of pain.
Love,
Cody Martin
Bailey re-read the letter to make sure that she read it right. That's when Dante came sprinting up the corridor. He came to a skidding halt in front of Bailey, gasping for air.
"Bailey! Cody's sedation wore off, and he got away before we could get him strapped down! Have you seen..." Bailey showed him the letter. He read it over, then gave it back to Bailey silently.
"Bailey...this might be for the best. He can't hurt you anymore." Dante started, but Bailey started screaming at him.
"YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND! WE'VE BEEN THROUGH HELL TO BE TOGETHER, BUT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED, WE'VE STUCK THROUGH IT! I'M NOT LEAVING HIM ALONE!" She was infuriated now, her face growing blood red. At first, Dante was taken aback, but then, slowly, a smile crept across his face.
"Just like her..." He whispered. Bailey slapped him.
"JUST LIKE WHO! DON'T IGNORE ME!" She kept screaming at him. He shushed her by putting his hand over her mouth.
"Nothing, Bailey. We'll commandeer a few satellites, and start searching for him. We're on an island, after all. He couldn't have gotten far. Don't worry, we'll find him." He smiled at her, and removed his hand.
"I just..." she fell back on the bed, her face buried in the pillows, "I can't live without him."
Dante looked at her.
"...Get some sleep, Bailey. It's late. We'll start the search tomorrow." He turned to leave. Bailey's voice stopped him.
"Dante?" She started. "What was it that you told Cody? The other day, I mean."
Dante paused.
"I told him about my wife. Her name is...was, Gemini. She suffered from a similar ailment. But she didn't come out of it...But you don't need to hear this, Bailey. Now," he said, "get some sleep." He left Bailey, who tried her hardest to sleep, but just ended up crying until she passed out from exhaustion.
A/N: So...what did you guys think? I mean, about the plot twist? Review please! And have a WONDERFUL day!
