Hey so I changes some stuff in here so that it would work better with the rest of the story. There is a slight difference but it is big. Importance wize.

Not too much later…

London enters her room with a loud thud. She is mad that her favorite designer has been inspired by Bailey. Why should Bailey inspire a designer that she hasn't even heard of? Her own thoughts disappear when she sees a figure lying on a bed, clearly crying. London rushes over to Bailey.

"Are you alright?" London asks gently.

"No. (sniff, sniff.) I am not." Bailey says but London can barely hear her because she is talking into her pillow. London sighs and pulls Bailey up so that she is facing her.

"What happened?"

"Well I was talking to Cody about Zack and I-"

London interrupts. "Whoa… not a good choice to talk about your crush to your ex. Especially if your ex if your crush's brother." London lays advice on Bailey. Bailey gives London a glare that could melt ice.

"I do not have a crush on Zack. I like some things about him. I am fed up with everyone jumping on me because I don't think he is a bad guy or an idiot."

"Hey calm down. It's okay. Well what happened with Cody?" London pries more. Cody will have to answer to someone after this.

"Cody asked about how I feel about Zack and why I let him hug me."

"And?"

"I told him about Maya and his breakup. He was surprised that Zack hadn't told him. He then asked if I liked Zack." Bailey sighs, trying to push the tears away. "I honestly said that I didn't know how I felt and Cody was mad."

"Well of course. You told him that you like his brother! He must feel betrayed." London points out the obvious which is ironic because she is the one that usually needs that observation pointed out.

"For the last time I don't know how I feel about Zack!" Bailey yells. London slides further away from her but lets her finish the story. "When I was walking away he told me that if Zack and I had a relationship that I would just be the rebound girl." Bailey's heart is hurt at recalling the memory.

London's mouth gapes open. That was too far for Cody to go. That makes her mad. With dedication, London stands up and exits the room. She leaves a very tender and confused Bailey. Bailey shrugs and turns back to crying.

Cody is lying on his bead with his hands planted on his face. He feels horrible about yelling at Bailey. He never meant to hurt her. He was just mad that out of all the people that she could choose to like it was Zack. Zack! He is an inconsiderate A-hole who never pays attention and rarely shows any compassion. His thoughts are interrupted by a loud banging on his door.

"Coming." Cody yells at the impatient guest. Sheesh, has Woody forgotten his key again and needs to go to the bathroom? Cody opens the door and was immediately shoved back harshly. His eyes widen in fear as he sees his raging brother coming towards him. Zack throws a punch that land in Cody's gut. Cody lets out a grunt before bending over to catch his breath.

"What… why are you doing this Zack?" Cody asks. He briefly looks up towards Zack and sees his face still contorted in a pissed off face.

"Why did you do that?" Zack yells at him. He is so mad that Cody would yell and hurt Bailey.

"Do what?" Cody asks, genuinely confused. Zack pulls back his fist for another go but pauses in mid air. That one was just to scare his brother.

"Don't make me out to be a fool. I heard what you did to Bailey from London." Zack growls at him.

"I didn't mean to hurt her. I was just mad." Cody admits. "She doesn't know how she feels about you and that made me angry."

"Wait… why would she like me? She likes geeky guys who are smart like you. And besides she hardly even likes me." Zack pauses and thinks. He thinks about the looks she has been giving him and last night when she defended him. She even let him rest on her shoulder. Whoa. "She… does like me."

"No. I told you that she doesn't know how she feels about you."

"Why'd you get mad? Is that so bad that she might think of me in a more interesting way?" Zack questions his brother. He is getting madder now. His brother may have screwed up his chance to be with Bailey.

Cody stands up finally and looks his brother in the eyes. He isn't about to let his three minute year old brother get the best of him. "I just cared too much for her to let her get involved with you."

That is enough for Zack to blow a fuse. He rushes his brother and pins him against the wall. He holds him there. "You don't get to care about her anymore. You broke it off. You broke her heart. YOU did. You have no right to yell at her."

"Yes I do. I may not be dating her but I have a right to protect her." Cody yells back. Cody shoves his brother off of him.

"Protect her from what? I can do that." Zack angrily asks Cody. He should be the one to protect Bailey and comfort her in times like this.

"You Zack!" Cody yells. He is tired of being bullied by Zack. If Zack isn't seeing his flaws and errors then it is my job to tell him. Zack stumbles back, in shock and disbelief.

"Have you ever thought why you haven't held a girlfriend longer than a month, maybe two? It's because you treat them horribly. Sure in the beginning you are sweet and anything they want but that's just to get them to be your girlfriend. After a while you start flirting with other girls or checking other girls out. I am sure that you have flirted with Bailey even though Maya is your girlfriend. Or more like was your girlfriend." Cody shouts out. He is laying down some serious wisdom on Zack. Cody can see the pain on Zack's face at the mention of Maya.

"You didn't even tell me that you got broken up with. Did it ever occur to you that you might want to tell your brother who is experienced with heart break? I could have helped you heal and mend your heart before you fell for another girl or a girl falls for you. But I see that is too late!" Cody waves his arms in the air in exasperation. Cody walks more boldly towards Zack who stumbles and lands heavily on the ground.

"And did you ever think that diving in and flirting with another girl right after your break up might not be the best idea? That girl who you are trying to be with, which is BAILEY, is called the rebound girl. They are simply useless and never stand a chance at lasting. They help you realize that there are other people in the world but that is it!" Cody is getting really into venting and letting everything out. Zack just looks guiltily at the floor.

"To make it worse, you are trying to be with Bailey! My ex girlfriend whom I still care about but not like I used to. Bailey isn't like the girls you date Zack! You date strong willed and sporty girls who can handle your roaming eye. But Bailey isn't like that. She is sweet, innocent and trusting. She can't handle taming you and making you stay loyal. Sure you will baby her and always pay attention to her but when you start getting to know her more you won't like what you see. She is smart and always wants to get things done right and nice. You are the polar opposite. You will try to change her to your needs like you started to do with Maya but Maya saw right through your plan. Bailey might be confused about what she feels about you but once she knows what a poser and jerk you are, she wont get near you. So for the love of god! Please stop thinking that you know who Bailey is and what is best for her. Stay away from her!" Cody roars.

Zack is just sitting there on the floor, looking scared and shaken by Cody's long and sudden outburst. He has never heard Cody so mad or protective. Zack's heart is still racing from the realization that he may be hurting Bailey by flirting with her. All of the stuff that Cody was yelling at him was true. Zack starts to feel dizzy and light headed. Zack stands up and runs out of Cody's room. By now it is dark. Zack runs in the hallway and heads towards the door leading outside. He opens the door and never looks back.
