Hey sorry for the long pauses in between chapters. I feel like a hypocrite. Sorry again. I cannot promise anything but i can try. I want to thank everyone for their reviews. At least i am updating. Enjoy then review!

The next day…

She doesn't know what it is but Bailey is strangely happy. She feels like she has a skip in her step. Her heart seems softer and lighters. It's an amazing feeling. She is walking down the hallway towards the sky deck to look for her inspiration when she accidently bumps into Cody.

"Oh…sorry there Cody."

"Don't worry about it." Cody averts his eyes from hers. She raises an eyebrow at his behavior.

"Are you okay?" She asks.

"Yeah." He keeps his eyes away from hers still. Bailey is fed up with Cody's annoying behavior.

"Seriously Cody. What's wrong?" She gazes fiercely into his eyes. She's not mad or anything but it's weird for Cody to be acting like this.

Cody frowns at the ground. He doesn't want to have a talk like what he has to have with his ex girlfriend. He sighs and finally pulls her over to a bench in the middle of the hallway. "I saw you with Zack last night. Why did you let him hug you like that?"

Bailey is stunned by his forwardness. "He went through something rough. I was comforting him." She defends herself, hopefully making a good point.

"What happened to Zack?" Cody asks worriedly. Zack hasn't told me anything.

"Wait…you don't know?" Bailey is surprised that Zack hasn't told his brother about Maya. "Maybe he should tell you."

"No, no. You can tell me. Zack will probably not tell me anything until it's too late or something like that. Please? He's my brother." Cody pleads with her.

"That's why he should tell you." Bailey insists. She feels bad for almost spilling the beans about Zack's break up.

"Bailey, please just tell me why you were hugging him so I can get this nagging feeling out of my chest." He looks into her eyes and gives her a look that she has always fell for. Bailey tries to resist it by thinking of Zack's face instead but that makes her give in faster. "Fine. Last night, Maya broke up with Zack over something stupid. I don't know why and so last night I was comforting him."

Cody's eyes widen as he realizes what happened. It just made a huge weight on his shoulders disappear. "Phew…for a second I thought you liked him or he liked you. It's nice to get that out of the way." Cody breaths a sigh of relief. But then his fears return when he sees Bailey look at the ground suspiciously. "Bailey."

"I don't know!" She cracks under the pressure.

"You don't know what?" He actually has no idea where this conversation is going. He is very confused.

"I don't know how I feel about Zack." Bailey finally blurts it out. She winces, preparing for the yelling that Cody might do but nothing comes. She cautiously opens her eyes and just sees Cody sitting there being very pale.

"How… how did this happen? You… you are smart and pretty and he is dumb and a jerk." Cody stumbles for words. His head feels numb. His ex girlfriend likes his brother.

"I don't know. It's just… lately, he's been nice to me and sweet. He doesn't make fun of me but we joke with each other. And he hangs around me even when you aren't there." Bailey zones off while thinking of Zack. "Sometimes he does random favors for me, like giving me a smoothie on a day where I get a B. Or when he compliments me on what I am wearing right in front of London. Or even when-"

"Stop. I don't need to hear all of that. It's Zack!" Cody has had enough of listening to his brother's qualities that attract his ex girlfriend.

"And you're Cody. I am sure that you have like someone. Right?" She hopes that he says yes other wise she is going to feel really guilty. She sees that slight hesitation in his answer and knows he likes someone. "HA! I knew it. So you don't get to push the guilty card on me."

"Well. . . what ever. That still doesn't give you the right to go around and fall in love with my brother." Cody yells. His head hurts right now. He doesn't like fighting with anyone except his brother and that's just because he usually wins.

Bailey is shell shocked at what Cody said. She is not falling for Zack. Am I? No you just got over Cody and he is still wounded from Maya. "I am not! I like some things about him. It is waaayyy different." Bailey says. She is shouting too. "Now if you are done being a hypocrite I am going to go." She begins to storm off. Cody stands up and feels pissed off at her.

"Yeah well even if you like him and he likes you, you would still be the rebound girl!" Cody yells after her. He covers his mouth immediately and feels horrible for saying that. He sees Bailey stop where she is and tense up. "Bailey I'm-" He begins to apologize but Bailey runs faster towards her room as he hears crying. Cody sits down again and puts his head in his hands. What have I done?

Not really a cliff hanger but it works. :) Review and suggestions are wanted.
