Chapter 4

Zack's P.O.V

I was about to enter Bailey's room in the hospital when I heard her shout ""Sorry, Is sorry going to change anything? Do you know what I had to endure because of your play? Do you know what those guys did to me? No, Mr. Martin, I am never going to forgive you for this. Never."

"Bailey" I heard my brother say almost in tears

"Just get the hell out of here. I don't want to see your face ever again"

I was shocked by this reaction of bailey. Bailey was usually very sweet and wasn't mean to anyone. But I guess I can't blame her for being this angry at Cody. After all that she's gone through she has every right to be angry at Cody. The next thing I knew was Cody storming out of the room in tears.

"Cody" I said but he didn't look back. He ran towards the dorm rooms. I ran after him and finally managed to catch up to him near the smoothie bar.

"Cody wait" I said

"Leave me alone" he shouted back

"Please Cody, talk to me" I said

"She hates me" he said in a shaky voice "she is never going to forgive me" he continued in tears.

"Oh, Cody" I said pulling him in for a hug. "Everything is going to be okay. She will eventually forgive you"

"Even if she did, she will never be my girlfriend again. Zack, if there is anything I learned from this it's that I still love her. She is the love of my life. I can't live without her".


Bailey's P.O.V

How dare he, how dare he come to visit me after all this time like nothing happened, like it's not his fault. I was shaking with anger. Tears were pouring out of my eyes. I felt angry and sad at the same time. I could clearly understand why I was angry but I didn't understand why I was sad. I felt lonely and helpless. I wished I fell in love with Zack instead of Cody. He has been very sweet and nice to me ever since the incident. I always thought that Cody was the sensitive, caring twin. But I was wrong. He is the mean, insensitive one otherwise he wouldn't have written that play. I was lost in these thoughts when Zack entered the room.

"Are you okay?" he asked looking concerned

"No" I said unable to stop my tears from falling

"Oh, Bailey" he said pulling me in for a hug. "Everything is going to be all right"

I cried in his arms for god knows how long. In his arms I felt safe. The sadness, the loneliness, the hopelessness disappeared. I felt a feeling of sheer bliss after a long time and I started to wonder "am I falling for this guy?"


Zack P.O.V

Bailey buried her face in my chest and cried for a long time. I felt my eyes tearing up too. It was almost like I could feel her pain. To make things worse the former conversation with Cody also kept repeating inside my head. Both Bailey and Cody are suffering because of that stupid play. Who knew that just one mistake can bring so much misery in to our lives. Slowly she pulled away from my embrace.

"Thanks Zack" she said "Thanks for caring for me, you are my best friend right now, I don't know how I would have survived if it wasn't for you"

"No problem" I said kissing her on her forehead. "It's been my pleasure. Don't let woody find out this but you are my best friend too. I lo… "

"Oh my God" I said to myself, "what am I doing? I almost said I love you. No, No, No, this is not happening. I can't be in love with her. Cody is in love with her. Really, kissing her on the forehead, Zack are you mad" I asked myself. "oh, no I am in big trouble ".
