"Good morning."

"Hey, you're finally up. How's the head?"

"Hurts at every step but other than that, amazing."

"Ouch."

"Okay, I re-read the texts from last night and I'm pretty sure each part of my body winced at them."

"I just, I needed to get that out of my chest but I can't believe I did it this way... "

"Not only did I humiliate myself big time, I also probably caused you and Julie to fight because of these texts, and I guess what I want to say is, I'm really sorry, Carter."

"Don't apologize. I'm so glad you told me, actually, but I just... I really, really, REALLY wished this happened eight months ago, back when I liked you and Julie wasn't anywhere in the picture."

"Because now... I - I mean, I still have her, and I don't know what I could possibly do... I swear my head is throbbing right now."

"No, Carter. There's nothing you can do. Just like you said, you have Julie. I'm out of the picture now, so like I said a few days ago, go be with her and forget about me."

"You know, maybe this confession was a mistake, after all..."

"It's not true, I'm glad you told me, Bailey."

"Okay, but you can't deny the fact that our friendship won't be the same now."

"Now that you... know. And Julie will probably forbid you from ever seeing me again."

"Woah, okay, that's just crazy."

"She's not gonna forbid me from doing anything."

"Whatever you say."

"I'm gonna let you ponder over that subject while I'll go eat the world's largest pizza in my food stained PJ's."

"Okay... Enjoy the pizza."

"And once again, I'm sorry."

"Me too."

ATTENTION! THE NEXT CHAPTER IS GOING TO BE THE EPILOGUE. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Yes, the next chapter is most likely going to be the last one. BUT, I have a little surprise for you. Hint: it won't be just a regular chapter :)

Thanks again for reading this and stay tuned for the last chapter of this story!

Do Bailey and Carter still have a chance, or will Carter stick with Julie even after Bailey's confession?

You will see in the next update.

Cheers!
