It was almost evening. Cody somehow hated how Freddie told Carly and him time after time how awesome Bailey was. He told them they were dating the first minute they met him with Bailey. He decided to go to his room to think things through before taking Freddie apart for a talk. It never turned out good when he didn't prepare such a serious issue. He thought about methods to avoid talking about it to Freddie, but he knew it was better if he knew his history with Bailey. Freddie suddenly entered the room, without Bailey.
"Bailey is in her dorm," Freddie said. "What are you doing?"
"Thinking," Cody answered without looking up. Suddenly he sat up. "We need to talk."
"About what?" Freddie asked.
"Well," Cody said. "As a friend I should tell you this. It's about Bailey,"
"You don't like her?" Freddie guessed.
"No, I do," Cody answered, "Freddie, Bailey was my girlfriend," Freddie looked shocked at Cody's sudden confession. "I know I should have told you earlier," Freddie was silent, making the scene even more awkward that it already was. He decided to lie on Woody's bed. He folded his hands behind his head and rested his head on them. He took a deep breath before saying anything.
"Oh," Freddie said. "I didn't know that,"
"I know," Cody replied. Cody saw that Freddie didn't burst out, but maybe he just didn't realize what Cody just told him.
"You still like her?" Freddie asked, turning his face to Cody. He sat up, before asking him a second question, "Were you jealous?"
"No," Cody said plainly, but it got him a weird look from Freddie. "Okay, I think I was," Cody admitted. "I think I am, are you mad?" Freddie dropped his head at the pillow again. He shook his head.
"No," he said in case Cody didn't saw his head shaking. "I just don't know what to do now, I mean… I really love Bailey. I really understand why you liked her. Like her," he corrected himself. "It's just it feels wrong to steal your girlfriend,"
"You didn't know," Cody said. "I'm not mad either," Freddie nodded.
"I'm glad to hear that," Freddie said calmly, "Should I talk to her?" Freddie asked.
"Not yet," Cody said. "Carly's talking to her,"
"Why?" Freddie asked.
"Same reason I was talking to you," Cody said. Freddie was confused, but dropped the subject, only for Cody to pick it up again. "Do you still love Carly?"
"How'd you know?" Freddie asked.
"She told me," Cody said. "Do you love her?"
"Well, it's a little difficult. I'm still in a relationship, you know?" Freddie said.
"I know," Cody said. "But I'm your friend. Old best buds, I won't spoil anything. I promise."
"Okay," Freddie gave in. "I love her. It would be too weird if I didn't. But she doesn't love me that way," he made a face at the word 'that'.
"I wouldn't be so sure," Cody smirked, without Freddie noticing, "She kinda admired you when we talked about you. About how you saved her, how she felt when you danced with her, how you were keeping yourself on the second place to keep her happy. Call me weird, but I think she is really in looove with you, and yeah she told me she was too," he played with his voice at the word 'love'.
"She really said that?" Freddie said after a long silence.
"I'm your friend," Cody chuckled. "I would never lie to you,"
"You wouldn't dare," Freddie said with a slight trace of bluff in his voice. Freddie stood up.
"What are you going to do?" Cody asked.
"Having an awkward talk to Bailey," Freddie said with despair in his voice.
"Good luck," Cody stood up.
"Thanks, bud" Freddie said and he pulled Cody in a hug. Cody hugged back.
"Wow, a hug from two members of the iCarly gang," Cody noticed.
"For the love of your butt," Freddie said. "You don't want to hug Sam," both released a laughter before Freddie left the dorm.
