No one's POV.
Aboard the SS Tipton four teenagers lay awake, their minds analyzing their situations, each of them thinking they were alone in not being able to sleep.
Cody Martin thought of his brother across the corridor, probably dreaming of Maya and video games, unaware that his own brother had betrayed him along with the girl he had fallen in love with. Guilt crept over every inch of him.
Zack Martin led awake wishing Maya and Cody would get along and that Bailey and Cody would get together again, he missed her company and hated the agitation between them both, along with that between Cody and his girlfriend.
Maya was also awake, thinking of how Zack was probably happily sleeping, whilst she had been making out with his brother. She thought of how Cody must be feeling used, every time she made out with him and then left him for Zack, but what could he expect? She was feeling very guilty.
Bailey sat thinking. She thought of how different Cody had been, so sweet and loyal. Now he was a player, he messed with girls for the fun of it and was even getting in with his own brother's girlfriend. He had turned into a thoughtless person and she hated it. She hated that she couldn't hang around with Zack any more, come to think of it she missed his silly pranks. She hated that she didn't think he deserved to know what was going on.
It was at that moment that she realized, she couldn't just leave Zack not knowing what was going on. Him and Maya could never last now that she was cheating on him and the further they got into a relationship, the more it would kill him. The more she was away from Zack, the fonder she grew of him. Getting up, she pulled on her slippers and crept as quietly as she could to the boys rooms. Shuddering as she saw Cody's cabin door she knocked softly on Zack's. Zack was alone in his room now, Marcus had left the ship to produce a record.
"Bailey?" Zack was clearly sleepy, but Bailey could tell from his voice he was also shocked to see her.
"Zack, we need to talk. Can I come in?"
"It's 3am Bailey! Couldn't we have done this at lunch!"
Still, Zack opened his door and Bailey sat on the end of his messy, slept in bed.
"So, what's so urgent that it can't wait till morning?" Zack said, fiddling with his lamp and letting the light fill the room.
"Zack..I.." she looked up at him and saw a flash of fear cover his face for a brief moment. "Sit down."
"What's wrong Bailey?"
"Zack, I know why Maya and Cody where being awkward with each other. I, I saw Cody going to his cabin earlier, he looked upset so I followed him and..Basically Maya came to the door and..she said she didn't regret making out with him the night before" Bailey paused, but didn't look at his face. "She..they..they were kissing by his door and then they went inside and slammed the door too..." She looked up at Zack.
Bailey had expected to see a hurt, destroyed face. Instead she saw someone with anger and hatred written all over their face.
"You idiot. Maya loves me. She wouldn't do that to me. Neither would Cody! Your making this up, you stupid bitch. You seriously think I'd believe you after this afternoon that my twin brother and girlfriend were having an affair! God Bailey, maybe I was right about you. Look, just because you and Cody didn't work out, you seriously can't believe that you could ruin his friendship with me and Maya!"
"Zack.." Bailey looked destroyed and shocked. "Zack, I- I'm not maki-"
"Get out." Zack said calmly.
"W-what?"
"GET OUT BAILEY, NOW."
Bailey rushed out the door, slamming it to. Tears fluttered in her eyes and she begun making her way down the corridor, but she couldn't make it. She sat by the door to a cleaning closet and quietly sobbed. Not only had she just realised that Zack hated her and that she would never have a chance at being Cody's boyfriend or Maya's friend, but she felt like she could almost be..falling for Zack, Despite how much she denied it to herself.
Cody had heard Zack screaming at Bailey to leave his room. He heard the banging of a door and could now hear faint muffled sobs. He led there, pain over coming him. Pulling himself out of bed, he left his room and approached Bailey.
Bailey didn't notice the blonde haired boy approaching her, and sat sobbing, clutching her hands together.
"Bailey.."Cody bent down next to her.
Without looking up Bailey knew it was Cody and a pang of hurt rippled through her.
"What just happened?..Between you and..Zack?" He watched her nervously.
"N-n-nothing" She managed to choke out before trying to move.
Cody grabbed her arm. "Wait.." She looked him in the eye, for a moment, before quickly diverting her gaze back to the floor. "I heard him shout at you Bailey, theres no point trying to deny it."
"You really want to know?" Bailey asked, a hint of anger over coming her voice.
"Of course I do bailes..I mean, Bailey". He put an arm around her shoulder.
"Right, well here's why. Because your brother came to ME because YOU and his girlfriend couldn't behave. I then went on to see you and Maya making out in your cabin door way. So I decided to tell Zack." She looked up at Cody to see fear and regret building up over his face. "He didn't believe me and now he hates me." Bailey finished and watched the relief flood Cody's face. "I can't believe you Cody.." She said and threw his arm from around her and walked away.
Cody watched and let it dawn on him. He no longer loved the girl walking down the corridor in the dark. He loved Maya..
So, Bailey seems to be falling for Zack, Cody's fallen for Maya who's dating his twin and Maya seems to be having mixed feelings right now. Will Bailey and Zack become friends again? Will Cody and Maya come clean? And who will be the unexpected visitor which could send everything hurtling back out of control again?
