Chapter 2: Alone

It has been three days since Zack has been at the island, missing Cody terribly. He took the little black box out of his pocket and opened it. Looking at the diamond ring inside, he felt the warm tears fall down his cheeks.

"Oh, Cody!" he sobbed. "I hope you're okay." Little drops of rain fell down, and as it started getting harder, Zack climbed up the tree and went in his tree house. He was quite proud of his creativity. He made it so there was just enough room for everyone to have their space, if they were to find him, ever. As he heard the rain fall outside, he went upstairs to an empty room. He laid down, cold and alone and fell asleep, waiting for morning to come.

"Cody? Cody, wake up." Cody felt someone shaking his shoulder, forcing him out of his dreamless sleep. He looked up and saw Bailey above him. Cody looked around himself, confused, watching the storm.

"When did it start raining?" he asked.

"Just a few minutes ago," Bailey said.

"We need to find land. It's been three days, Bailey. Did you make sure the flag is facing west?"

"I thought you said north." Bailey says, panicked.

"Oh, Bailey, no," Cody sighs. He gets up and turns the flag in the other direction. He looked down and saw Jesse curled up with Zavier. He felt jealous. They were still together and Zack was far away from him. He couldn't go another night without his Zacky by his side. His heart felt so cold and empty.

Bailey looked at the distant look on Cody's face. She stood next to him and put her head on his shoulder. "We'll find him, Cody."

"I miss him." Cody mutters, distantly.

"We all do. I know how you feel." Cody looks at her confused. "I was going out with this one guy. I was so in love with him. Daddy hated him though, because he didn't feel he was good enough for me, so they sent me on the ship. I haven't seen him since, and now I don't think I ever will."

"You never told me about that Bailey." Cody says.

"I never told anybody. I was too heartbroken to even talk about it."

"I shouldn't even be here." Cody looks down at the floor. "Bailey, can I tell you something?"

"Anything Cody, I won't say a word."

Cody looks out at the ocean. "I haven't even told Zack yet. If I knew this would've happen, I would've told him. I found out just a few days ago." Cody puts his hands on his stomach and looks at it. Cody hears Bailey gasp and looks at her.

"Cody, are you. . ." Bailey couldn't finish her sentence she was speechless. Cody nods and turns in her arms as she opens them to give him a hug.

"I can't do this without him," Cody cries. "What am I gonna do?"

"Cody," she sighs. "For once in my life I don't have the answer to that. I'm sorry." Cody nods, understanding. "We'll get through this. Did you go to the doctor at all?" Cody shakes his head.

"I took the test a dozen times. They each came up positive." He says, sitting down.

"Well there could still be a possible chance they were wrong."

"Yeah, a million to one," Cody says. "I know I'm pregnant. I can just feel it. The funny thing is I'm ready."

"Cody, how are you even going to give birth? We're on a life boat."

"We'll find land. I know we will."

"But still, there are no doctors out here."

"But you've delivered a baby before."

"We don't have the tools, Cody. There's a possibility you could die from this." Bailey panics.

"That's my choice. I'm doing this, Bailey." Cody looks away.

"Okay. It's your body, I'll let you do what you want." She says, quietly. "How far along are you?"

"I don't know a month or two. I don't know."

"Cody. . ." she whispers.

"It's okay."

"OH, MY GOD!" Zavier screams. Bailey and Cody look to see what Zavier was screaming at, an island is seen up ahead.

Bailey turns to Cody and says, "It's an island. Cody, you were right. Do you think Zack's there?"

"Hoping," Cody says one word. There is no hint of a smile his face shows no emotion.

"Cody?" Bailey says.

"Come on. We have to start a fire before nightfall." Cody gets out of the boat, but Bailey grabs his arm, holding him back.

"Bailey, what are you doing?"

"Cody, stop it."

"What-"

"Enough with the depression," Bailey says. "Cody, look around you. There's a strong possibility he's here, stop moping, please?"

"Bailey. . ." Cody says. "You're right, I'm sorry. Let's go find shelter, maybe, possibly, we might find him as well." Bailey smiles and follows Cody.

"When did Cody become the leader?" Jesse mumbles and his boyfriend chuckles.

Cody finds a spot and tells Bailey to find some driftwood for the fire. "Zavier, you go with her."

"Aye, aye, captain." Cody rolls his eyes.

"So…." Zavier drawls out.

"What?" Bailey says, getting hit with a branch.

"What's up with, Cody? He's been acting weird. I mean I know he missed Zack and all, but he's acting more depressed then I'd think he'd be."

"He's never been apart from Zack this long. He misses him."

"Yeah, if I was…"Zavier trails off when they heard a distant "ow." "Did you hear that?"

"Yeah," Bailey turns toward a grassy plane area where a blonde headed boy is laying with coconuts all over him. "Zack!" Bailey screams. He turns around and his eyes widen. He immediately gets up and Bailey runs in for a hug, crushing him. "Oh, my God, I'm so glad we found you."

"Me, too," Zack replies. "It's been tough without my friends." Zack looks at Zavier and smiles. "Come here, you goof. Give me a hug."

Zavier gives Zack a hug before Bailey says, "Zack, we thought you were dead. Cody's been freaking out."

"Cody. Is he all right? Where is he? He's not hurt is he?"

"He's okay," Bailey laughs, calming him down. "He's back making a shelter." Before Bailey could finish her sentence, Zack was walking away, towards the direction she said Cody was. He was going to find his love.
