"Cody," Carly said, "I want to go outta here," she didn't feel like staying here, watching her best friend kissing his date. It was difficult to admit to the urge of leaving, but staying here was eating her alive for some reason. Fortunately the waitress didn't come yet to take their order so they were free to go.
"Me too," Cody said and he stood up. Freddie and Bailey didn't notice them as they were too full of each other. "Let's go for a walk," he said awkwardly.
"Okay," Carly said. The two decided to walk back to the boat. They remained awkwardly silent. Cody was the first one who managed to break it.
"So," he said. "Why did you want to go away?"
"I just can stand a make out session," Carly said.
"Well," Cody said surprised by himself of defending his old best friend and ex-girlfriend. "They weren't actually making out."
"Why did you want to leave?" Carly asked.
"You didn't answer my question yet," Cody protested, but he decided to spoil his story anyway. The reason Bailey and Freddie were dating was mostly his fault. He should've told Freddie that Bailey was his ex-girlfriend. "Bailey was my girlfriend," he saw how Carly was taken by surprise.
"I don't believe it," Carly said. "Freddie would never take over a girlfriend from a friend. Certainly not his old best friend,"
"I never told him," Cody said. "Bailey and I were dating for almost a year. Then on a fateful day in Paris we broke up. I don't really want to talk about it," he looked at Carly once more. He felt like he just got himself a new valuable friend.
"It's okay," Carly said. "I understand,"
"I'm afraid I'm not completely over Bailey," Cody said. "I tried to tell her a couple of times, but I didn't really take my chances, you know, I chickened out or my brother ruined my chances or my lovable roommate," both Carly and Cody chuckled at that thought. "So back to my question,"
Carly sighed. "Well, since the very day he met me he had this huge crush on me," she started. "He followed me everywhere I went to ask me my love, but I think I didn't had the same feeling he had for me. I rejected him every single time he asked me out or something, but because I didn't want to hurt him too bad I try to do that in a friendly way. He seemed to take it better than I thought as he remained friendly to me, no matter the situation. He never left my side even when he was jealous of some boyfriends I had and when I got rejected, got dumped or just had to break up he was always there for me, together with my other friend Sam. Throughout our friendship I slowly started develop feelings for him. It started with a nose kiss, because he helped a crush of mine even though he really didn't wanted to. Some years later we went on a double date after a school dance. Both our dates were horrible. His date was a magician. She was really annoying as she did a trick every freaking minute and mine was maybe even worse 'cause he talked during the entire dance. I couldn't even finish one sentence," Carly and Cody chuckled, "I'm not talking too much, am I?"
Cody laughed inside at the sudden pause. "Don't worry, I'm listening,"
"Thanks," Carly said. "Anyway, we ended up dancing together. It was really the most beautiful evening I've experienced until then. I rested my head on his shoulder and everything around us just disappeared. A couple of months later, he saved me from being overridden by a taco trick, but he got hit instead. Out of gratitude I kissed him and we ended up dating. Two days later he told me he thought he was bacon. You know, that I loved him because he saved my life. I doubted that was true, but because he thought I wasn't thinking straight he decided to give me some time to rethink things. Meanwhile I grew a crush on another guy. Sam almost screwed up and she told me later that Freddie gave her some preach about how Adam really meant a lot to me. Even after I sorta broke my promise he still remained loyal to me. When she told me that, I fell in love with Freddie again. Later Freddie told me he was about to visit you and I decided to go with him, since I didn't want to go to your roommate's and Sam's family reunion. Then you and me went to see Seattle, but saw my crush and your ex-girlfriend kissing at a lunch restaurant and now we're walking to the boat,"
It took a moment for Cody to take it all in. "Some story," he said. "So are you jealous?"
"Yeah," Carly admitted truthfully, "I guess I am,"
"Me too," Cody said. "I should've told Freddie about her earlier,"
"I should've told Freddie that I love him," Carly said. "You still love Bailey?"
"Yeah," Cody said, "I do,"
"Then maybe you should talk to Freddie then," Carly said. "I'm sure he won't beat you up,"
"Thanks for the support," Cody said with a chuckle, "but you're right. He's my friend, he deserves to know the truth,"
"Cody," Carly said.
"What's up?" Cody said.
"I…" Carly stammered, "I think I can use a hug now,"
"Yeah, me too," Cody said and he stopped walking and opened his arms to take Carly in them. He laid his head on Carly's and rubbed her back. "Together we'll fix things, so you can get Freddie back,"
"And you can get Bailey back,"
