Suite Life On Deck

Bailey Belle

I DO NOT OWN SLOD OR ANY OTHER CHARACTERS

Hours passed by and now it was late at night. The stars were painting the night sky and the moon hung in the distance creating a glow on the water. Woodrow and Cody were currently directing the boat bouncing ideas of which path they should decide on. The wind blew in their faces, but the whole time Cody could only think about was Bailey. He just couldn't erase her from his mind as hard he would try too. He put his hand in his coat pocket and felt the pocket watch. He took it out and just stared at it. Remembering the significance behind the gift. He ran his hand over the engraving. He knew what he wanted. Everyone only gets a chance at life once, he wanted it to be with her. She was different and special to him. She knew how to make someone laugh, she knew how to put a smile on someone's face, she had that gentle touch, she was extremely intelligent, she was thoughtful, and he wanted her to be just his. Every time they were in each other's atmosphere his heart would skip a beat. No one could compare to her. Not anyone in his past, present, and future. There was only one her. She was the only one he wanted...the only one he needed. He just wanted to wrap his arms around her once more and whisper into her ear...slightly tickling it from his small touches triggering that empyrean laugh. She always loathed her laugh, but he adored it. It was just more to love. They both accepted each other's weaknesses. They knew that neither of them were perfect and could never be, but that didn't cause them to love each other any less. They desired one another, that wont change.

On the other hand with Zacharry he was taking action for the plan he created. So far Woody was driving Cody off course oblivious to it. Cody was doing everything Woody spoke of without question. He trusted Woody and maybe he shouldn't have. They were leading each other to their own deaths. Zacharry ran to the lifeboats and started dropping all of them. Except for one...he was going to use that for his escape.

"What are you doing there, Zacharry?" He heard a young voice behind him as he was in the middle of his plan getting rid of the boats. Zacharry turned around and there stood a taller man with dark brown hair and muddy brown eyes. He just smiled.

" I do not think any of my activities are any of your business. I suggest you go back to your post."

"Then you have a problem." The taller man stated approaching steps closer trying to make Zacharry fear him. Zacharry tried to keep his ground on the outside even though he was fearful of the event that could happen next on the inside. "I do not think Captain Martin would be pleased by you dropping all those safety boats, do you?" Zacharry then backed up into the railing intimidated.

" You do recall the punishment for denying orders, am I correct?" Zacharry stated trying to make the bigger man back down. The taller man was not afraid by him though. He knew Cody would not be fond of his brother tossing the life boats away.

"Didn't you just break one? Little hypocritical, don't you think?" The older man said and Zacharry was still trying to disguise the daunted side of him.

" I command you to go back to your post at this instant you worthless piece of nothing." That caused the man to fill with anger and he took a swing at Zacharry's face, but Zacharry ducked. He was grateful his fast reflexes came at hand at a time like this. Zacharry then got under the mans arms and stood in a defensive position ready to block any shots the man made. When the man turned around Zacharry took his leg and aimed it right in his gut resulting in the taller man falling over. When the man was one the ground in pain Zacharry struck his foot and made contact rendering the man unconscious. "I wouldn't try that again." Zacharry spat in disgust at the man and continued lowering the boats letting them float off into the ocean. Leaving only one left. That one would only carry one man and that would be him. Zacharry then turned leaving the man behind.

Cody and Woodrow still directing where they were going unaware that they were currently heading towards rocks ready to rip the structure of the boat to pieces. The waves kept covering the rocks making it unable to notice. Cody couldn't resist the thought of Bailey though. It was occupying most of his thought's. Cody always payed attention, but he was too excited to get on that knee and make her his. Even though the thought of her saying "no" was terrifying to him he couldn't deny how much he cared for her.

"Cody, do you see that up ahead?" Woodrow said from behind and Cody turned and he did see it. There was a pile of rocks ready to rip the structure of the ship at any second. When Cody saw it his eyes bulged. The ship kept creeping ahead and he had to jump into action. He knew that this was a life and death situation for the crew mates. Cody quickly threw the watch back inside of his pocket.

"Woodrow, I need you to steer the ship and try to get us out of this while I fetch the other men to help us. We will possibly need to take the life boats if we don't make it in time. If you think there's not enough time, come and find me." Cody informed Woodrow and Woodrow gulped, but nodded in understanding. Cody threw the map at Woodrow and ran off. He ran down the hallway and towards his brother's room first because he knew Zacharry always had a scheme of some kind and he was harsher with the men than Cody was.

Cody ran down the hall and he felt the boat tip to the side and he was pushed into the railing. He held onto the bars tightly not losing his grip and he tried to stand up by pulling himself up. He tried to keep his balance, but the ship kept tipping over. If he didn't die now he would definitely kill Woodrow after he got out of this. A wave then came in the ship soaking him with water. Trying to pull him off the ship. He tried to keep a steady balance and he then saw a metal bar on the other side of the hall and he reached towards it grabbed on tight letting go of the railing and used that to pull him towards Zacharry's room. He finally made it inside the room and there was no sign of Zacharry.

The boat tipped again to the other side. The front of the ship was becoming demolished as the boat kept approaching the rocks further. Cody knew that they needed to get off. There was no stop

Cody was panicking. He just hoped today wasn't going to be the last day him and his brother took their last breaths. He was concerned about Zacharry more than he was himself.

While all this was occurring Zacharry could hear the screams of his crew mates. He smiled wide on the inside. He got inside of the life boat and he cranked his way down the bottom as he touched the ocean. He began rowing the boat trying to get away from the boat as it began creek again. Zacharry knew he could not let his brother marry the girl. The girl that he wanted ever since they met. That was all he cared about. Only her. He couldn't careless for his brother. As far as he was concerned he could rot in hell.

"Goodbye, brother. For good." Zacharry said in contentment with a grin on his face.

Cody ran through the ship trying to find Zacharry and then as the boat lunged forward he did see something. He saw his older brother on a lifeboat getting away. He looked for the others and they were all missing. The betrayal was too much for Cody to handle. He felt angry and he would not let himself die without seeing Bailey once more. He jumped off the boat into the freezing water and began swimming. He could hear his crew mates screaming in his distance and wished he could do something, but it was too late. He kept swimming towards Zacharry and Zacharry was unaware of this. If Cody retrieved the boat there might of be a chance he could go back and save the others. Bring them all to safety. He approached the safety boat and Zacharry was still unaware of his presence he grabbed onto the boat which tilted it a bit and now Zacharry noticed. He turned around and saw his brother.

"Cody..." He said as he glared at his brother. Cody was struggling still to get up on the boat, but he wouldn't let it get further out. He needed to save the others.

" Zacharry, you need to turn around. Help me save the others on the boat." Cody said gasping for air as the waves kept hitting him.

" You are not the boss of me. For several years I lived in your shadow and you got her. I wanted her, Cody! She was supposed to be mine!" Zacharry yelled at Cody. Cody for once in his life was afraid of his brother.

"Who's 'her?'" Cody questioned which sent more rage through Zacharry. Cody knew who she was. Zacharry then took the paddle to the boat and went to jab Cody with it trying to make him let go.

"You knew exactly who I am talking about! I will not let her marry you! If she really loved you, why would she not tell you she was pregnant! She told me! Not you!" Zacharry said throwing it in his face. Cody didn't know what to think of this news Zacharry was telling.

"You're lying, you're a liar Zacharry!" Cody said fighting back trying to grab the instrument Zacharry was stabbing him with.

" You deserve to die. I loved her since the very beginning! Watching you be with her repulses me! She doesn't deserve you, she deserves better!" This was a side Cody had never seen. He grabbed the side of the boat and tipped it over plunging his brother into the water. Cody went to flip the boat back and get in to make his escape and save lives, but Zacharry grabbed his foot from underneath and pulled him under. Cody kicked and kicked trying to shake him off, but Zacharry was stronger. Zacharry kicked him in the gut under water which flew Cody in the other direction. Zacharry grabbed the boat and flipped it on it's side and tried to get in, but Cody pounced on his back once he reached the top. Cody flew several punches at Zacharry and kicked him in the groin. This made Cody able to get inside of the boat. Cody looked around for a paddle and noticed that both were in the water. Before Cody realized a paddle hit him in the back of the head creating blood to stream and it lunged him into the water. He became unconscious. Zacharry smiled as he swam over to his brother and ripped off the jacket taking out the wedding ring and putting it in his pocket. Zacharry let go of the jacket and it sank down with his brother. The screams were no longer in the distance...they disappeared as the ship was swallowed by the open waters.

"She will be mine..." Zacharry said with one last punch to his brother. And his brother's body floated into the water. Cody's body drifted off falling deeper and deeper. Water filling his lungs and he was unable to stop it. As Cody was falling there was a picture running through his mind. There was this girl, she had deep warm brown eyes...long dirty blonde hair that ran over her shoulders...this perfect white smile...and then it ended. Cody's lifeless body feel deeper into the water until he hit the bottom. The pocket watch escaped from his jacket pocket and the glass was crushed...the clock stopped ticking...

A/N First I want to apologize if this chapter is...bad...I honestly don't know how to make a sinking ship seen...If I could I would of asked the writers of the Titanic, but honestly, I'm sorry if it doesn't live up to your expectations... I can not describe to you how difficult it was for me to kill off Cody. Worst thing I have ever done.
