Hey! Here is another chapter. :] Hahaha, still prolonging the karaoke preformance. Sorry. :p Dont worry, it will come.

4:50 PM

London and Maya are practically running to Bailey's dorm. They just heard Zack's half ass plan from Woody about ten minutes ago but they were on the opposite side of the deck from the student dorms and walking takes about twenty minutes. So as a result Maya had to motivate London to run. Don't get her started on how hard that was to do. She had to promise that if London did this than Bailey would not leave. She worriedly glances at her fast feet as they take her rapidly down the hallway. After about a minute more of running, Maya finally reaches Bailey's room. She bends down and tries to catch her breath. She thinks that she left it about half way through the ship.

Bailey walks out of her room and sees Maya bending in the front of her door. Maya immediately straightens up and smiles at her. Bailey looks the suspicious girl up and down.

"What do you want?" Bailey doesn't mean to seem so bitter but it comes out that way. She honestly has no patience for the ex of her ex crush. That's right; she admitted to herself that for a brief time she had a crush on Zack. But since he crushed her crush on him, she doesn't think she has those feelings for him anymore.

Bailey puts her hands on her hips as she waits for an answer. Bailey looks at expectantly at her. She glances down the hallway for London. Where is she? She really doesn't feel like talking to Bailey alone simply because London knows her better. Maya shifts on her feet. Just then London comes flopping down the hallway. Just in time. Maya smiles at London.

"Oh my gosh, running is so hard! I had to stop for water like three times and get a foot massage." London pants. Bailey just incredulously looks at London.

"You ran?" Bailey harshly says to London. London looks slightly surprised at the tone but shakes it off.

"Yes. Now before you leave will you please come with Maya and me to a karaoke thingy on the skydeck?" London pleads. Bailey shakes her head.

"I can't. I am supposed to meet my second cousin who lives in New York at the dock at 5."

"Please come with us Bailey. Maybe you might be convinced to stay." London begs Bailey again.

"I-I don't think that could ever happen. My time on this ship has sailed. I think I will be happier back home." Bailey struggles with the thought of leaving everyone behind. She looks up at the ceiling and tries not to cry.

"Bailey, will you just come with us. I promise you won't regret it." Maya says calmly and softly. Bailey snaps her head so that she is looking straight at Maya. She glares at her.

"You know what, I have come to regret a lot of things. Say um like dating Cody, thinking that Zack could be a remotely nice guy and-" Bailey cynically says but then Maya interrupts.

"Hey Zack is a nice guy." Maya says a little louder.

"Then why did he almost break my heart?" Bailey yells out.

"Because I broke him first!" Maya yells out equally loud.

Bailey takes a step back. She glances at London, who is equally confused. Maya blushes at her sudden outburst and tries to recover.

"Zack has always been a skirt chasing, egotistically dumbass." Bailey says bitterly. The name of Zack has left an awful taste on her tongue.

Maya shakes her head at the naïve girl before her. "Don't you get it? Zack has learned to push people away to keep himself safe because he has been hurt too many times. And when he does let someone in, they usually hurt him in the end." Maya sadly looks down at her watch. "Like me." She faintly says. She looks back up again and sees that Bailey is still confused.

"But if you get to know Zack then you really see the kind, caring, wonderful side of him." Maya fondly says. Bailey lets a smile slip onto her face before returning to a sad expression. "I know that you have seen that side of him too." Maya gently pries.

Bailey sighs. "That's why I am confused. I don't know why he has pushed me so far away."

"Why don't you just ask him?" London pipes up. Bailey and Maya look at her before looking at each other again. Bailey shrinks down again.

"Because if I face him… then I might break down and never leave." She straightens up and sniffs her tears away. "I need to be strong and accept reality. I am better off not being around Zack and being in Kettlecorn."

Maya glumly glances down at her watch. Her eyes bug out as the fingers read 4:58. This heart to heart has take precious time out of their plan. Zack is probably waiting for them.

"Shit. Uhhh, Bailey will you please come with us to do this last karaoke thing for the heck of it? You know, for the last time sake?" Maya pleads with Bailey one last time. She really doesn't want to let Zack down.

". . ."

London and Maya look at each other nervously. Bailey looks at her bags before looking back at them.

"Sure. Why not? I will text my second cousin to tell her to wait a minute or two longer. But we can only stay for one act. That's it." Bailey says sternly to them as London bounces up and down.

"That's all you will need." Maya says and smiles broadly at Bailey.
