Lost at Sea- My version

Ch.9: Missing Her

Meanwhile, it had been a while since we heard from Cody, Bailey, Zack, London and Woody, they were on land by this time. Cody was still trying to figure a way to get off the island, they were still missing Maddy. Bailey was sitting on the sand, looking at the shore, thinking about Maddy. They all believed she was dead. Cody came up to her.

"Hey Bailey" he said taking a seat next to her. Bailey looked at him. "Something wrong?"

"I miss Maddy" Bailey said, saddened.

"I do too," Cody said. "She was amazing"

"She was very kind and strong." Bailey said. "I still am grateful that she saved you. I never saw anyone do anything like that. I wish she made it."

"I still think she shouldn't have died," Cody said. "but she was willing, I'm grateful that she saved my life too. She's a hero"

"She was something" Bailey said. "Remember back on the ship, when you and her played guitar and fiddle together, always singing, even though you didn't even know the words?"

"That was funny" Cody said. "Fly around my pretty little miss, fly around my daisy, fly around my pretty little miss, I don't know who to marry"

"That was funny" Bailey said. "And then the Arkansas Traveller"

"I don't know the words to this old song won't my dad be mad at me, I don't know the words this old song what should I do? what should I sing?" Cody sang. He laughed.

"She was a great musician" Bailey chimed. "I loved how she played piano when she could"

"She played that piano really well" Cody said. Bailey let a tear fall, then several tears fell. Cody wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"I remember Maddy's last words before the storm," Bailey said. "I'm not going to answer, all I want is to get warm"

"She never picked a side in a fight" Cody said. "She never cared about right or wrong"

"I think she trusted both of us," Bailey said. "She didn't want a say in our fight"

"I feel really bad about that fight" Cody admitted.

"I do too." Bailey said. Bailey leaned her head against his chest. "But I still love you"

Cody was surprised.

"You love me?" Cody asked. Bailey lifted her head, staring into his eyes.

"Yeah why wouldn't I?" Bailey asked.

"Because," Cody said. "I love you too"

Bailey and Cody kissed for a brief second and Bailey tucked her head into Cody's chest, listening to his heartbeat.
