Bailey Belle

I DO NOT OWN SLOD OR ANY OTHER CHARACTERS

Cody Martin opened the door when he got inside his home and shut it right away. He wanted to stay away from the outside world. He was going to be made a bigger mockery of now. He heard his brother Zacharry getting ready in his room. Cody really didn't want to go anymore. He would rather just have himself contained to the house he was standing in. He didn't know why he felt so strongly and hurt about it because they just met, but there was something about her that compelled him to her. Cody walked towards his brother's room. He was wearing a suit, but one of his more finer ones.

" Is mother doing well?" Cody asked his sibling and Zacharry just turned around to face him. He was completely ready meanwhile Cody looked like a mess. The way he looked created the impression that he lost all dignity.

"What happened to you? Did a stampede occur sometime today that I wasn't aware of? Shouldn't you be ready by now? The gathering is starting in less than an hour."

" I am quite aware of that. I am not going to go to the Tipton's. They always throw the same parties, it's not like I am missing anything." Zacharry looked at his brother confused. Cody was usually not the party kind, but he did enjoy the classical music that played.

" What's the true reason why you aren't?"

"That is the true reason, brother." Cody's nose crinkled. That meant he was being dishonest. Cody tried to hide his failed attempt, but Zacharry caught on way to quickly.

" Wasn't it you that once said- " Before Zacharry could finish Cody cut him off. He didn't want to hear Zacharry use his own words against him and give him a speech.

" Zacharry, I do have a reason, but that doesn't mean I need to tell you." Cody didn't want to discuss anything that he didn't need to. He had the ability to talk or not. He didn't have to obey any orders that Zacharry gave him.

" I am older and you should have more respect to me."

"You're older by ten minutes. Plus, when did that become a rule that applied to you?" Cody said with pure annoyance in his voice. He hated when Zacharry tried to get the unfair upper hand.

" Cody, you can talk to me about anything. I am here for you. If it's about Barbara, I understand." Cody just laughed at Zack saying that and sat in the chair in Zack's room next to the bed.

" Barbara is the least of my worries."

"But you just called it off yesterday. Shouldn't you be hurting?"

"Sorry, I know how much you would like to see me in pain over her, but I'm not."

" When have I ever wanted to see you in pain?" Zacharry said and at that Cody just rolled his eyes. There were too many times to count all the times Zack wanted to see him offended and shattered.

" Okay, there were a few times, Cody, just tell me because either way I am going to make you go."

" That girl I was talking to you about, I made plans with her and she didn't show up." Cody said unable to look at his brother so he just looked at his polished black shoes instead. He expected Zacharry to laugh, but he didn't. Zacharry felt bad for his brother. He knew how gentle and sensitive he was.

"Then she is no good for you. There are plenty of fish in the sea and I am positive you can find one at this gathering."

"She wasn't just anyone, Zacharry, she was special."

"Again with this? Cody, you need to have some fun, get your mind off the mourning and get out. You're attending."

"You just don't understand." Zacharry was now getting annoyed with his brother who was so persistent on not going. Zacharry then took matters in his own hands and decided to get his brother ready himself even though Cody kept struggling. The advantage to be the more built twin was forcing him to do the unwanted. Cody kept complaining, but that did not cease Zacharry's actions to help his brother.

London finished Bailey up and Bailey was amazed at how she looked. She was surprised by how much London was doing for her. It was the least she expected to come from London. She didn't know what to say.

"London...thank you."

"Don't mention it...I'm serious, if anyone finds out you will lose your head." At that Bailey's eyes widened. She nodded.

"Good poor girl. Now, we have a party to get to."

"Ms. Tipton are you sure you don't need extra hands to work tonight?"

"Just do what I say, that is your job. Now, we must go or we will be late." Late...time...Cody. She gulped. She promised to meet Cody and she prayed it wasn't too late. She should of remembered. Prepared herself. She may have time to still make it though.

"Wait, what time it is?"

"It's seven." She missed it. He probably hates the ground that she walks on. She didn't mean to miss out on their walk earlier. She was just getting caught up in everything and did not want to displease Ms. Tipton. She felt ashamed of herself. How could she do that to such a sweet guy? She cursed silently under her breath. She hoped she would see him again so she can apologize...if he bothered having a conversation with her. "Now, stop wasting time and come!" Bailey followed her request and they both made there way to the gathering on the yacht.

Bailey and London finally arrived at the yacht and started socializing with other people...or at least that's what London was doing. Bailey was confused as to where she fit in and who to talk to. She was in a new town and she didn't really know anyone. London didn't want anything to do with her and the other maids kept glaring at her because they had to work and she didn't. She looked around and didn't see anyone, but she did see Cody. When they made eye contact in less than a second he ran like the wind in the other direction. She needed to talk to him.

Cody kept staring at her for most of the night. He liked her a lot, but she clearly didn't like him. He just wanted her to be his friend. He wanted to get to know her. He wanted to find out more about her so they could build a relationship. He was so emotional these past few days. She made him nervous. His hands would sweat and he always stumbled on his words. She was very sweet, but she was also out of his league. Someone he could never have.

"Who are you staring at?" Cody turned around and put his drink that he was holding on top of the piano. His brother walked over to his side. He was obsessed with this girl, but didn't know if she was good for him or not. Being with her was a ride that spun his emotions around, but he still didn't want to get off the ride.

"It's her." He said dazed. He couldn't stop staring at her and every time their eyes would meet he would turn away embarrassed. He wasn't sure what to do. Zacharry saw a brown haired girl with blue eyes and he smiled at his brother.

"You're right, she is gorgeous." Zacharry said smiling at his brother and patting him on the back. "Are you going to chase after her?"

"She doesn't want anything to do with me, she didn't show up." Cody said feeling his stomach drop. He was so afraid of her and what would happen if he did walk over.

"Cody, you are the hunter. Picture yourself as the hungry jungle cat and she the deer with a limp."

"Actually, Zacharry, jungle cats and deer aren't indigenous to the same area. Maybe an apollo would suit that metaphor or-" He obviously didn't understand the point his brother was making. Cody always looked at hard facts.

"Just show her you are an animal!" Cody wasn't sure what to make of his brother's point. He liked her, but he wasn't confident in himself.

"I don't know..."

"Cody, you wont know if you don't try."

"Fine, I will." Cody took a slow pace towards her. Zacharry wanted to be the one to push him towards her instead. When Cody got there Zacharry couldn't believe his eyes. He wasn't with the brown haired girl. He was with the blonde haired one with the brown eyes that goes by the name of Bailey.

"I just lead my brother in the arms of the girl I like..." He said unpleasantly surprised. He was the one who was supposed to be with her, not him. As he watched he was being driven insane. They both had an attraction to the same girl. He was the one who was supposed to be her prince, not Cody.
