AN: Okay, so I lied. This is the last chapter. I realized I needed some closure for Kostos, so here it is.

With only two days left of their summer, the sisterhood was lounging around Lena's pool. Bee's cell phone rang.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Hi," the voice replied simply.

"Who is this?" she asked warily.

"Kostos."

"Oh hey! How did you get this number?"

"Eric."

"How are you?"

"As well as can be expected. I wanted to apologize for not telling you I was leaving."

"I understand. You had an obligation."

"It still wasn't cool."

"I guess. They promoted me when you left."

Kostos laughed, "Congratulations."

"So, how is he?" Bee asked, hoping the answer wasn't what she thought it would be.

"He, um, passed away."

"I'm sorry to hear that," Bee didn't know what to say.

"He was suffering so much over the last few years," there was a quiver in his voice.

Bee had to change the subject, "So where are you now?"

"I've decided to stay. I'm needed here. My wife, and I moved in with my grandma."

"Oh."

"Where are you now?"

"I'm sitting by Lena's pool with Tibby and Carmen."

"How are they?"

"Their summers weren't as interesting as mine. Lena got a job, Tibby fell in love. You know, the usual summer stuff."

"Yes."

"It was good of you to call."

"I wanted you to know what happened. If you want to, you can tell Lena. But thats up to you."

"She that you were there. I think its best to leave it at that."

"You're right. I have to go. The phone bill is going to be a monster."

"I bet. Thanks for calling. I hope everything gets better for you."

"Thanks, and thanks for being my friend this summer, after what I did."

"I didn't mean to. It just happened."

"Thank you just the same. Goodbye."

"Bye."

AN: People have been asking questions. This is the end of the story, so I will explain my thought process. When I first thought up this story, I thought maybe Bee and Kostos, but before I could even finish that sentence, I was like eww gross Bee would never do that. So then I thought, hmm... maybe Bee could bring Kostos to Lena. Then I was like, Lena should get over him. It wouldn't be nice for Bee to bring him back into Lena's life. Bee knows better. So I decided to pull Kostos out of the story so Bee and Eric could have their moments.
