Love on Deck Chapter 14
Breakup
Previously
You know Cody, I kind of miss this." Zack and Cody were laying on their beds in their cabin.
"You miss what Zack?"
"You know talking. Remember? We used to share secrets, helped each other out, and most of the time we would just fall asleep on your bed after talking for hours."
"We grew up. But I miss that too. But this is nice too."
"You bet it is." Zack said staring up at the pictures on the wall.
The boys were looking forward to a new year. One thing was for sure. For them and their friends, it was going to be a new start for a new year.
Zack kept tossing and turning in his sleep. He seemed to be having a nightmare.
Zack kept walking through an abandoned building. No one was around him. Just himself and a dimly lit factory.
"Cody where are you!" Zack called out.
After running through the entire first floor of the factory he saw him.
"Cody!" Zack screamed. He hugged his brother.
"Why are you hugging me? I'm not your twin remember?"
"Say goodnight idiot!" A large man came from behind Zack holding what looked like a gun.
"Zack!" Zack was pushed to the floor and as soon as he got up he saw it, he saw his own twin lying in a pool of blood.
"Cody!" Zack screamed.
"Zack is everything all right?"
"Oh thank god your not shot." Zack said hugging Cody tightly.
"What the hell? Did you have another nightmare?" Cody asked eyeing his brother.
"Codes it was horrible." Zack said as he cried into Cody's shoulders. Zack immediately told his brother everything.
"Zack at least I did the right thing." Cody smiled.
"Huh?"
"Zack I did exactly what I would have done in real life. I saved you. I don't know if I could live with myself if you're the one that gets hurt."
"You mean that?"
"Of course I do silly."
"Thanks a lot Cody." Zack sniffled through his tears. "You know now that I think about it, I would have done the exact same thing."
"Yeah right." Cody said sadly. "You don't even care."
"Of course I care. I may not show it half the time, but your seriously the best brother in the world. I would die if anything happened to you. I promise you no matter what the others say, you are always going to be the brother that I love. The nerdy, sensitive, and unathletic brother."
"Geez you make me feel so much better now." Cody said laughing.
"Seriously buddy. I don't care what others say about you. I love you for who you are. Your one of a kind. Not a lot of people are best with the best brother."
"Thanks Zack." Cody said as the twins laid down on Zack's bed.
"Feeling better?" Cody asked.
"Much better." Zack replied as he slowly began to fall asleep.
SCIENCE LAB
"Cody are you all right?" Nathan, Cody's lab partner noticed that he had been dozing off throughout the experiment.
"Sorry man. I didn't get much sleep last night." Cody stated.
"Your twin must be back huh?"
"Yep. I missed him so he came over to our cabin and we caught up until we eventually fell asleep." Cody explained.
"Now I hope everyone is ready for that science final coming up." Mr. Acapena announced as he exited the room to make more copies.
"God science finals are so frustrating!" Reina exclaimed. "Cody would you help?"
"Don't even try to flirt with me!" Cody said about ready to kick Reina's butt to outer space.
"Oh come on. I know we had a little thing going on in Home Ec."
"Reina please just leave."
"But Cody, I love you."
"Get this into your little head. We will never get together. I love Bailey with all my life. And I will never, ever do anything to hurt her."
"Oh come on just give us a chance." Reina said with a smile.
"Reina just leave!" Cody yelled. Thank god Mr. Acapena had left.
'I love you Cody, I never stopped. Why can't you just leave that slut for someone more special? Like me?"
Cody dumped the blue substance on Reina's head. Of course it made her the laughing stock of the entire classroom.
"Cody what the hell?" Reina asked a little confused.
"Never, call my girlfriend a slut ever again!" Cody screamed.
"it's the truth!"
"Reina, maybe you're the slut." Nathan said. "You did jump from boyfriend to boyfriend."
"Nathan how dare you!" Reina screamed. "You don't even know me." Reina was trying to defend herself.
"Just shut up Reina." Cody said.
"I swear Cody Martin this is far from over!"
"Whatever." Cody said.
News about Reina's psychotic breakdown spread like wildfire around the boat. Bailey was so touched that Cody would do that for her.
"Cody thank you so much for that." Bailey and Cody were at One of a Kind. Cody immediately visited her to make sure that she found out about it from him. Reina was watching from the glass window.
"Like it or not, Cody will be mine." Reina took out a baseball bat. "Once I'm done with you, you will wish that you have never messed with me." Reina smiled. She was going to have Cody all to herself. If things were going to work in her favor, she would have him by midnight.
"Cody do you really have to work tonight?" Bailey asked.
"I hate leaving you Bailey. But I have to." Cody kissed her cheek. "I'll see you when I get off."
"I guess so." Bailey sighed. "I love you Cody. For doing that for me. You're my hero." Bailey smiled.
"I'll be your hero any day." Cody said.
"And if you see Reina give her a punch for me." Bailey said laughing.
"Now lets not get too violent now." Cody said laughing.
SKY DECK
"London are you sure Cody got off early?" Reina had fooled clueless London into bringing her into the sky deck.
"I got some random girl telling me that he got off right now." London replied.
"I don't know London. I have a bad feeling about this." Bailey said a little nervous.
Reina emerged from the staircase. She had a handkerchief that she was going to use to choke Bailey. Reina smiled. She loved that Cody was going to be all hers once she was done with Bailey. Reina snuck up behind Bailey waiting to attack.
"Cody where are you?" Bailey asked scanning the sky deck.
Reina covered Bailey's mouth with the handkerchief. Zack walked onto the sky deck. He noticed that someone was being choked from the upper deck.
"What the hell?" Zack got a little closer so he could get a closer look. "Oh my god Bailey!"
Reina quickly dragged Bailey into the closest supply closet. Of course Bailey was knocked out cold.
"Zack what's wrong? " Nathan asked.
"Reina Suffocated Bailey." Zack said nervously.
"That little brat!" Nathan screamed.
"Whoa hold it! You knew about this?" Zack asked.
"During science, she put on her little show." Nathan proceeded to tell Zack all of the details of her almost psychotic breakdown.
"Wow." Zack said nervously. He was a little shocked about the information he was just given.
"We need to find Cody. He needs to know about this." Nathan said.
'Right!" Zack and Nathan immediately ran off towards Tipton Cuisine.
TIPTON CUISINE
Cody was working away frantically. He was chopping a salad. He found it hard to keep his mind away from a horrible gut wrenching feeling in his chest.
"Hey Maddie." Maddie had just walked in. She had just finished her shift.
"Hey. Guess what?"
"What?'
"James asked me out and I said yes!"
"What!" Zack and Cody both screamed in unison.
'Zack, Nathan what are you two doing here?"
"Look something happened to Bailey." Nathan started.
"What?"
"Reina suffocated her and dragged her off to lord knows where."
"Why are we standing around here for? Lets go!" Cody yelled.
"You two go. I think me and Maddie need to talk." Zack said.
"Suit yourself." Cody said as he and Nathan made a beeline for the door.
"Why do you even want to talk to me for?" Maddie asked eating a piece of lettuce left on the counter.
"I need to know what's going on between you and James."
"Oh like you didn't tell me what was going on with you hugging that girl back in Julliard."
"What?"
"Oh I'm not an idiot Zack. I saw you hugging her when we came on New Years Eve."
"I was comforting her!" Zack screamed. He couldn't believe that Maddie was picking a fight.
"Oh. It looked like the two of you were enjoying it." Maddie said.
"Why are you blaming me? You're the one that never told me about James."
"How do you even know about him?"
"I found out when I saw him hugging you last night!"
"It was a cold night!" Maddie yelled. "I can't believe you could be so clueless."
"Clueless? How in the name of God am I clueless?"
'Didn't it come to your senses that maybe, I was cold, and maybe I hugged him for warmth?"
"Oh and you "Little Ms. Perfect" didn't confront me and ask me why I was hugging Maya?"
"Who on earth is Maya? Your new fling?"
"I can't believe you just said that." Zack said through his tears.
"What the heck did you expect? Seeing you with that girl, it made me realize that you can't be tied down in a committed relationship. You're a ladies man. You need to roam free."
"Great thank you for believing in me." Zack said sarcastically.
"You don't give me a reason to! You know I thought you changed because you grew up, but boy was I wrong."
"You don't have the right to say that! I've changed a lot! My grades have improved, I haven't pulled a single prank in ages do you want to know why?"
"Why? Why Oh why did you change Zack?" Maddie asked.
"I changed for you!" Zack said.
"Wow"
"Yeah wow."
"That sill doesn't explain why you would hug another girl in front of me."
"You know what? To hell with it Maddie. I'm done." Zack said walking over to the counter.
"You know what I'm done too."
"What on earth are you saying?"
"I'm saying that if you can't love me enough to go hugging other girls, maybe we should just call it quits."
"Is that what you want?"
"Yes!" Maddie screamed. Zack was heartbroken. After years of trying to chase the girl of his dreams it was finally over.
"Then we're over." Zack said sadly.
"Forever." Maddie added.
"After trying to chase you all my life, this is how you want to end this?" Zack asked as he felt his eyes water.
"Zack you blew it." Maddie said.
"You know what? Fine. You don't want to be together, go ahead. I just hope you made the right decision."
"Believe me I am." Maddie said.
Zack ran out of the kitchen. He couldn't take it anymore. He loved her. And she just had to ruin it with an argument over practically nothing at all. He felt the tears make their way down his face. He lost his girl forever.
STORAGE ROOM
Bailey was tied to a chair. She began waking up. She looked around the room. She had no idea what the heck happened. It seemed like she had been tied to a chair.
"Miss me?" Reina laughed.
"You idiot!" Bailey screamed.
"Oh please I'm not the one tied to a chair. And right now I'm going to teach you a lesson. This is what you get for messing around with Reina." Reina shut the door.
Reina began taking all of the contents out of the bag. She began to take out gasoline and a match,
"Bailey Pickett rest in peace." Reina laughed. Reina poured gas all over the door and then lit the match.
"Sweet dreams." Reina laughed as she threw the match on the floor and the fire began spreading.
ONE HOUR LATER
Cody was walking along the boys dorms sadly. He was crying. He looked everywhere for Bailey. He noticed that there was a huge fire across his cabin.
"What happened Woody?"
"apparently someone started this fire."
"Reina!" Nathan screamed.
"What?" Cody dropped his bag.
"This bag belongs to Reina. Which means she started this fire." Nathan said.
"Hey we found something!" A fireman screamed from inside the storage room.
"What is it?" Mr. Mosby asked.
"I can't tell. It seems like a locket." Cody felt his heart stop.
"Give it to me please." Mr. Mosby stated.
"Here you go." Mr. Mosby began examining the locket that was placed in his hands.
"BP+CM? What the heck?"
Cody looked at his bracelet. No wonder his heart was stopping. "Bailey!" Cody screamed. "Oh my god I have to get in there."
"Sir this is way too dangerous." An EMT said.
"I don't give a damn! I need to save Bailey." Cody screamed.
"No! I won't allow you." A fireman said.
"Please give me two minutes. If I'm not back by then, by all means drag me out of there!" Cody yelled as he began to make his way through the crowd. It seemed that the door to the storage room got farther and farther away after each step he took.
"Bailey!" Cody screamed. The supply closet was small. He scanned the small space looking all over for Bailey. He seemed to notice that there was a shoe under a towel cart.
"Bailey oh my goodness!" Cody said as he ran towards her. "Help! I found her help!" Cody yelled.
"Is she breathing?" The EMT asked.
Cody began to check for her pulse. The waterworks began when he realized that her pulse was low.
"Hurry! I think her pulse is going down." Cody said in between tears. "Bailey, sweetie come back please? I love you. Please don't go. "
The EMT began to hook her up to the heart monitor.
"Her pulse is going down!" Mr. Mosby screamed.
"Stand back!" the EMT ordered. "Give me 300 now!" Bailey's limp body began to rise and yet again fall to the floor. Nothing was happening. Mr. Mosby was hugging Cody who couldn't control his tears.
"CPR now!" She screamed as a man began pumping on her chest. After five minutes of reviving her, it just couldn't be done.
"Time of death…"
"No! Bailey please!" Cody began shaking Bailey vigorously. "You can't die! Remember our plans? We were supposed to get married. Have kids. Open up our own clinic." But Bailey still lay there. "Bailey…" Cody collapsed and cried at her feet. She was gone. Gone for good. Cody was mentally kicking himself for not making it on time. He promised himself that he was going to make Reina pay for what she did to Bailey. He kissed her on the lips one last time. "I love you Bailey Pickett. No one could ever replace you." Cody held her in his arms rocking her back and forth as he continued to cry.
"Oh my god!" The fireman said mere seconds after Cody had kissed Bailey.
"She's coming back!" Mr. Mosby exclaimed.
"I knew you wouldn't leave me." Cody said as he hugged her tightly. Cody held her had as he saw Bailey's heart rate increase. Bailey slowly began opening her eyes.
"Welcome back into the world kid!" The EMT exclaimed. They wheeled Bailey towards the infirmary, with Cody following.
"Wait a minute where on earth is Reina?" Nathan asked.
"Kirby. Lock down! Immediately. Give a code red to the passengers if they come in contact with Reina that they have to turn her into the police." Mr. Mosby said.
"Gotcha boss." Kirby replied back.
LOBBY
Reina was running as fast as she could. She just couldn't be seen from the scene. She had to come back for Cody later. But for now, she had to run. Now that she killed someone she knew that she was in deeper trouble then she thought she should be in.
"Going somewhere?" Mosby asked as he emerged from the elevator with 10 policemen and about the entire Seven Seas High student body.
"Ms. Jones you are under arrest for vandalism, and attempted murder. All that you say will be used against you in the court of law, you have the right to a lawyer and a fair trial. Do you understand Ms. Jones."
"Yes." Reina said in defeat.
"Don't worry sir. She won't be bothering your students ever again." Everyone cheered that Reina had finally been forced away from Seven Seas High. They would never have to deal with her ever again.
INFIRMERY
"Bailey, you scared me today." Cody said as he kissed her hand. Bailey had been asleep since they brought her in. Luckily, it was only first degree burns. But still, Cody was guilty for not getting there on time. He should have been there for her when he felt that something simply wasn't right. Bailey was asleep most likely from the shock of what had happened that day. Zack had heard what had happened and dropped in to see if Bailey was o.k. He thought Cody would be in trouble because he was in the room himself. But he was fine. Zack thought he was a hero. He heard that Maddie and Zack were broken up. He felt sorry for his twin. He had fought for her love for so long. Now he had to lose it. Cody held onto Bailey. He never wanted to lose her ever again. He made a promise to himself that once she was out of the infirmary, he was going to take extra good care of his little hay bail. He could never imagine his life without her. Nor did he want to imagine it. He needed her in his life. He needed her for support, he needed her there so that he can love her.
"Cody?" Bailey asked fully awake. It was three hours after they brought her in.
"Bailey! Oh thank god!" Cody held onto Bailey for quite a while. "Don't scare me like that ever again." Cody said as he began showering Bailey with kisses.
'Cody you saved me…again!" Bailey kissed Cody passionately. Cody could only thank god in his mind for not taking his love away from him.
JULLIARD UNIVERSITY
"hey Zack!" Maya said running through the rain.
"Not now Maya please." Zack said.
"What's up?" Maya asked trying to keep up through the freezing winter rain.
"Maya can we not talk about this." Zack was already at the building.
"Not until you tell me what's wrong." Maya said sitting on the wet steps beside zack.
"Me and my girlfriend had a nasty breakup, because of you."
'Me?"
"It's not your fault. She just witnessed the friendly hugging thing over New Years Eve."
"Ouch." Maya said.
"You bet." Zack replied.
"How are you holding up?" Maya asked.
"I might need that hug." Zack replied through fresh tears.
"Just say when." Maya said as she opened her arms. Zack collapsed into them and began sobbing into her chest.
