1Suite Life On Deck
Bailey Belle
I DO NOT OWN SLOD OR ANY CHARACTERS
"What does she have to do with any of your dreams, brother? You're a man, your wishes and dreams are much more higher than hers. If I were you I wouldn't have a care about how she would feel about you going off on this new adventure. Embrace it. You deserve it after everything you have been through." Cody just stood their trying to figure everything out in his own mind. He was trying to decide which path he should venture and how he would explain it to his beloved. Zacharry could tell he was boggled by his facial expression. "Are you seriously going to let a female get in the way of the life you want to lead?" Cody just stared and he wasn't sure what he desired now...he wanted a to go on a voyage...he wanted that for what seemed like an eternity, but his heart was held with Bailey.
"One step at a time...We are going to decide this as a team...no matter what arises out of nowhere and makes a shock, I am always going to love her..." Cody said as he stuck another ball and this time it was about to go through the hoop, but stopped right outside of it. In a way that hit was like his life. His life was going smoothly somewhere and then it stopped. He had a decision to make. So did that ball it had the decision to go forward or travel it's way in a different direction. Just like his life at the moment.
"The question is though, is she always going to love you?" Zacharry said and this made Cody get more tense. His bones tightened up and he was like a sculpture. He did not know how to respond to those words. He had to say something though.
"My relationship with Bailey is nothing you should be involved in. I know those words are very difficult for you to absorb, but it has nothing to do with you so for once stay out of it."
"Someone can't handle the truth, all I am saying is that you wanted this your whole life. Are you really willing to throw it away for some beauty?" Cody was at a loss for words. He didn't know what he wanted. He loved Bailey more than anything, she was his life, but he also wanted to have open arms towards this new subject and embrace it...It would be only for several months so he would get to keep the relationship with Bailey that he held so closely to his heart. The relationship that he was endeared to. This was a big decision to him. He wanted to be with his Bailey all the time, but he also wanted to travel and explore. Discover.
" I have my trust in Bailey and whatever it is, we will take time to work it out...it doesn't have to be so complicated as it is now..." Cody was trying to convince himself that it was all okay. He was very unsure about that, but he had to give it a shot. His mind was rattled.
"Cody, you know what you want, but that doesn't mean you can have all of it." Zacharry looked his brother in the eyes as the wind blew past their heads.
" Zacharry, there's a way. I am a problem solver and I will not leave this one unsolved. I don't give up without any try."
" Whatever you say little brother...just make the wise choice..." Zacharry said for his last time and Cody felt even more stressed by the words that were bringing Cody down. All that pressure being added upon his shoulders.
"Can you just drop the subject? I will deal with it on my own without any of your words trying to knock me down. It is my problem and not yours." Cody said snapping at his brother. He just needed to release all the things in his head. He just needed to take a breath. "Zacharry, I would like to discontinue this game, we can pick it up sometimes in the approaching future, but I'm not in the mood right now."
"Is it because you have a decision to make that is ripping you apart of the fact that you are losing desperately and nothing in your power can change the outcome of this game?" Zacharry said trying to get to his brother. He knew on the interior he was freaking out, but on the outer he tried to keep calm. Tried to be tranquil.
" Let's go with the second one..." Cody said turning and walking off into the inside of his house. The options were running through his head...He could stay and be as joyful as he is now with her climbing whatever mountain that was in the way and have a great third year full of bliss togetherness or he could go off on an adventure being with her unclear of the occurrences that was going on with her...Doubtful if they would still be the duo that they once were...
The day passed and Cody and Bailey avoided each other at any costs. The guilt was eating at them. They knew if they were face to face that they would be unable to control their words and emotions. They would be unable to look each other in the eyes. Cody and Bailey both tried to keep themself distracted, but it failed. It was more difficult for Bailey though. She already had enough secrets that were kept hidden from him...the biggest one was from the time London covered for Zacharry and her though three years ago. She tried to forget, but every time she looked into those blue eyes she was reminded. Reminded of what could of happened. Avoiding him for a while would give her the space she needed to think...The most horrible thing she could endure at the moment. The more she thought the worst her thoughts would get. The worst the outcomes she created would turn out...she despised the feelings that were being built.
When the next day came things only got more atrocious. Bailey was laying in bed and the nauseousness from the previous day only increased. She couldn't get a decent sleep not just because of lies. The last thing she ever wished for was to lie to the one she cared about with her whole heart. The one that relied on her and the man she relied on too. She wanted to go back in time to a place where things weren't so complicated, but that seemed centuries away...Bailey had this metallic taste in her mouth and she felt her heart rate increasing. She knew exactly what was happening as her stomach began to do somersaults. She ran over to the bathroom a hand covering her mouth the whole journey there. She could feel something getting pushed up her throat. She quickly opened the door to the bathroom and ran over to the toilet and began puking struggling to hold her hair up. She closed her eyes as she felt the pain become released. She felt like crying...she forgot how painful it was since she was a child. She was weak. After everything was released from her stomach she got up and stumbled over to the sink. She looked in the mirror and started to clean herself up...She came to the conclusion as to what this feeling was and what was wrong with her. She was pregnant...
Cody was up in the morning fairly early taking in the air trying to think as he walked through the park. He had all of these feelings inside, but she could not control any of them. He was being pulled in one direction and then another. He felt like he was the rope in tug of war. He only had one heart, but it was impossible to choose. He needed to bring up the topic to Bailey. He would never leave her...he wouldn't dare do it, but he would regret it if he left her for months... He hoped they would still be able to be a couple if he did go. He hoped so much, but where was hoping going to get him? Actions set things in motion what was he going to set in motion if he just stood around? He wanted to have a long life with her...He just didn't want anything to get in the way of that though... He hoped he could still have his dreams and still be with the one who he wanted to spend his entire life with. Someone he could share the experiences with.
"Cody!" He heard a voice from behind him and that is where he saw Ms. Madeline Fitzpatrick. The other sister like figure in his life. Madeline was the voice of reason and always guided people in a correct direction...Trying to help them reach the level of success. He stopped until she walked all the way up to him.
"Ms. Fitzpatrick, how are you?" Cody greeted her with a big hug. He was very mirthful by her presence. He had not experienced the chance to spend as much time with her as things in his life were moving at a fast pace. Bailey and her became friends instantaneously. He remember he could barely have a conversation with Bailey when they both were in the same room. He was grateful that Bailey had a friend that could relate to her as much as Ms. Fitzpatrick did.
" I am well and you?" Maddie said equally polite as Cody. They were close knit friends, but they always talked to each other with courtesy.
" Not as cheerful as you seem to be. I am currently trying to devise a plan to get over this crisis I am having..." Cody said as they both walked down the path together. Maddie started to take interest in the words escaping his mouth because he knew Cody didn't get worked up without there being a true reason.
"What is the reason for you to be upset? It's a wonderful day." Cody smiled at his friend in agreement. It was a particularly nice day, it was mostly the events that was disturbing him.
"You are right on that topic, but I have a decision and this decision can affect everyone around me and that is something I am wishing to not entertain, but I have no choice." Cody said looking forward picking leaves off the trees as he walked by ripping them apart.
"And what choice is that? Cody you are a intelligent person and there is nothing I have ever seen you not solve." Maddie said supporting Cody. She knew Cody could get easily frustrated and that he was a deep thinker.
"I always wanted to travel the world and I finally have that choice, but if I do I will have to leave Bailey behind...I am left deciding whether or not I should go on with this new adventure." Cody said walking forward and as he said each word he grasped Maddie's attention.
" Do you want to know what I think? I think if Bailey truly loves you she would understand your dreams and always support you." Maddie said and Cody nodded in understanding.
"I know, but what if something changes when I'm gone? What if when I get back I am face with all these different problems...What if Bailey does not want to be with me anymore?" Maddie sighed at him saying that...
"Cody, she loves you, any idiot could realize that. She wouldn't trade you in for the world. She is a extremely sweet girl and you and I both know she would never do something that would offend the people around her."
I know she loves me and I know she wouldn't, but people change...Opinions change. You can like one thing one day and despise the existence of it the next..."
"Cody, I am not going to instruct you on what you should or should not do, because I think your heart can decide that. You know where your heart lies and Bailey would be more than accepting to whatever is coming your way."
" I guess you are right, I should not be surprised. I have no idea how to tell her though...I was never really wise with words when it came to talking about these topics." Cody said shaking his head. He still was not fully positive on what road to take, but he was going to figure it out. Maddie's words rang in his head.
" Sometimes you don't have to be wise with words and careful with what you say, just make a point and you wont be defeated. Now, I am off to feed the hungry and tell Zacharry and your splendid mother I said hello."
"It would be an honor too." They both separated in different directions. Maddie's words were not to be forgotten. He knew there was an answer...maybe he was searching to hard for one though.
