Chapter 21: "I Forgive You"
Cody was in Jasmine's dressing room along with Amy and AJ.
"I told you not to hang out with him anymore!" Cody screamed.
"What's wrong if I do?"
"Jazz…"
"First you punch him, and now you and AJ fight him?" Jasmine asked him.
"Jazz, let me explain."
"Fine, go ahead."
"Remember that party we went to a couple weeks ago?"
"The one where you passed out?"
"Yeah. The thing is, I didn't pass out. I was knocked out," he told her.
"By whom?"
"Shannon."
"Shannon? No way. I know him. He would never do that...to anyone."
"I guess you don't really know him that well 'cause he told me that himself. That's why I punched him in his dressing room one day."
"Why would Shannon do that?" asked Jasmine.
"He told me that he didn't like me because I'm with you," Cody answered her.
"Really?"
"Why did you kiss him?"
"I didn't kiss him. He kissed me!" she told him truthfully.
"…So you kissed him back?"
"Cody, I'm sorry. You know that nothing he does can ever compare to the love you have for me. Forgive me?"
"I forgive you."
