Carter is the handsome, masculine and dedicated long-time boyfriend to Kaylie, a fellow gymnast who is supportive of her career and struggles to help her keep their relationship a secret. Although he makes the huge mistake of sleeping with Lauren while drunk, after a fight with Kaylie, he renews his dedication to Kaylie and also regrets doing such a reckless thing with Lauren, who has true feelings for him. He holds off on telling Kaylie the truth and reluctantly accepts Lauren's help when he becomes homeless, keeping himself distant from her and waiting for Kaylie to recover from the shock when she finally discovers that he'd cheated on her months before. While often misguided, he is also a good-hearted character with a strong backbone who generally refuses to take any crap from Lauren. When Kaylie discovers him hugging Lauren in her garage apartment, she rebuffs them both again and, by the time she decides to make up with him and believe that he was chaste with Lauren, he has become unsure of whether their relationship will work and made another huge mistake: returning to Lauren. She eventually throws this news in Kaylie's face, and after several painful back-and-forth moves between them, Carter leaves town, and Lauren's venom, once and for all. Show less «
