Chapter 4
Btw I'd like more reviews, especially if you want this to continue, I'll try to update a chapter or two a week if not more
.
It happens so fast, the ball hits Zach causing him to fall on the treadmill and his leg gets caught and rolls underneath it, there is a sickening crunch, and the machine begins, smoking, Zach is moaning and groaning in pain, Cody curse out loud "Shit"
"Man I'm sorry Zach, I didn't mean for that to happen."
Zach looks and Cody and frowns " Bro, this happened because you are changing, you still need to think about your action before doing them." Zach struggles and finally pulls his leg free.
Cody grabs Zach and carries him to the nurse office, where she examines his leg "He tore a few leg muscles and broke his leg, another injury like that and he may never walk again." The nurse explains to Zach and Cody.
The nurse ask "How did this happen anyway?"
Cody's head drops in a shame and he explains "I did it, I guess my actions have been reckless since I broke up with Bailey."
Zach looks at Cody and says "Dude, you still love her, why don't you just go back to her?"
Cody shakes his head and says " I can't, we went through so much, through her being jealous of the girls flirting with me when I taught that cooking class, and what about the time we were stranded on that island, and there is that marriage class, after all that, I let her go, I didn't try to stop her on the Eiffel tower, I guess everything I ever said to her, It was all words to me. Nothing more, nothing less. They were meaningless." Cody runs back to his room and scribbles on a piece of paper, He then runs out heading for the ship lobby.
Bailey comes into the room and finds the note it says ' to whoever found this, by the time you read this, I'll most likely be dead, my life seems to be meaningless now, and everything I ever did seems to be a lie, I hope things work out better for me in my next life, maybe somehow I'll be forgiven, but I doubt it, tell Zach I'm sorry and tell Bailey I loved her and don't deserve her.
Cody Martin'
Bailey runs out onto the ships lobby, and finds Cody leaning over the railing about to jump she screams out "Don't do it Cody."
Cody turns around, shocked and manages to sputter out "Bailey." before he falls overboard, due to letting go of the railing and his shock.
Bailey shouts out as she sees Cody disappear off the railing and into the waves below "No Cody!, Come back please, I need you." 0
Zach wheels himself up to where bailey is at, and says " you wanted to break up with him, why are you crying for him to come back now."
Bailey turns to Zach and says "Zach, it's awful, Cody, Cody, he fell overboard and it's all because of me."
Zach looks shock for a moment and then says "What the hell are you still doing here, go to Moseby, and have him tell the captain to stop the ship and have the crew members lower the life boats and search the water for my brother." Bailey runs off to do as she is told and Zach stares down at the ocean thinking 'I'll save you Cody, even if it means I have to change my way of life and take care of you. I'll be there for you my baby brother;
The rescue party mobilizes quickly, they find Cody in the water semi-conscious and they take him to an hospital aboard the ship, they hook him up to oxygen machines, but don't allow any visitors to see him due to his heart level being too high.
Zach and all the others are in the waiting room, when Zach says "Oh hell this is my fault, if I didn't go into lecture mode on his changes or gotten hurt at all for that matter, he may be still acting up but he'd be fine, physically at least
Zach rolls over to the wall and punches it so hard, he breaks his knuckles
Bailey is crying and says "No it's my fault after all we been through, I broke up with him for no good reason."
The nurse comes out and says for Zach to follow her into her office
Zach ask "How is my baby brother" he starts sobbing
The nurse response "Well he is under a lot of stress and mental trauma, he mutters things like "I'm sorry" and "You guys will be better off without me." and I even heard once a " I don't deserve to live." Even when he is fine physically, we probably won't release him, but he might be up for visitors now since he is awake, in fact he has been asking for you, and Bailey. By the way he has a case of short termed memory loss, so he doesn't remember the accident, how you got hurt or anything of the past two weeks, it may go away with time or it may be permanent. You wanted it straight, you got it straight."
Zach nods and goes back out into the waiting room and says to them "well Bailey, he is allowed to have visitors and has been asking for you." Bailey gets up and goes to see Cody
Bailey walks into Cody's room "hey." she says with a slight smile
"There's my little hay bail." Cody says with a grin and then he ask "What happened bailey."
Bailey frowns and ask "What's the last thing you remember?"
