Zack and Bailey pulled away, lost in their own world for a moment.

"I love you, Zack. Don't ruin this."

Zack smile fell. "I ruin everything. Just ask Cody." He sighed. He was about to walk away again, but she wouldn't let go of his arm. He turned and saw Cody glaring daggers at him. "Sorry." He yanked his arm away from her.

He tried to walk away, but Cody shoved him and he stumbled back.

"Cody! Don't!" Bailey yelled.

"She was mine! She was the one thing I had that you didnt and you had to take her too! I still love her! You knew that! You knew!" Cody shoved him again. "You always ruin everything for me! I wish you weren't my brother!"

"Cody you don't mean that!" Bailey yelled at him. Max pulled her back.

"Just let them fight. Maybe they'll finally get it all out and stop hating each other." She told Bailey.

Maddie rushed over with her new husband, London, and Moseby behind her when Cody shoved Zack again. Zack wasn't even trying to fight back.

"Cody! Stop!" Maddie yelled. Her husband pulled Cody back and stood between the two young men. "Cody!"

Cody shoved Trevor away from him. "Leave me alone! I'm fine! If Zack wants to be a bad brother, let him!"

"I'm always the bad brother!" Zack finally snapped. "I'm a bad son, I'm a bad friend, I'm a bad person!" His eyes started watering. "You don't have to hate me anymore, Cody. I'm done. I'm done being your brother and you can tell mom I'm done being her son." Zack told him then he walked away.

"Zack!" Bailey called after him.

Cody glared at her. "You don't love me. You're with Zack now? Do you not understand how much that hurts?"

"Do you not understand how much you've just hurt your brother?! How much you always hurt your brother?! Do you honestly not care about his feelings or are you just so selfish that you don't consider them?!" She huffed then she stormed off to find Zack.

Cody scoffed. "I hurt Zack? I never hurt Zack! He's the one who never considers my feelings!" He yelled.

"Right, he never considers your feelings. Not when I wanted to kick you off the basketball team and he vouched for you or when you cried about that french chick and he was gonna get her back for you or when he had a thing for that Bailey girl, but you liked her too so he backed off and said he didn't want the drama of a girl who had a boyfriend." Max stated, she walked past him and bumped into his shoulder nearly knocking him over.

Maddie shook her head. "I know you and Zack fight sometimes, but I never thought you'd actually hate him."

"This is like so not cool, Cody!" London yelled following Maddie.

"Perhaps you have been so busy thinking Zack was being selfish that you didn't realize how selfish you had become. Perhaps it's not too late to make things right." Moseby advised.

Cody scoffed and folded his arms across his chest. He looked around and saw that everyone around him went to check on Zack. He sighed and looked to the door sadly. "Zack." He frowned and shook his head then he walked to the door to find his brother.
