Is there a way to fix it so I can get the deposit back on my apartment?

Use a wet tea bag and do it gradually so you don't overdo it. Worked for me. Good luck!

I did the same thing on my beige carpet. I have 3 little spots but can't get them out. I think bleach takes the color out so the only way to fix it would be to replace the carpet. If you have a small piece leftover somewhere (or maybe some in a closet that you could use) You have to cut out the spots and cut the new carpet to match. Then burn the edges to seam it together.
Hope you know a carpet installer.

This woman I know deliberately burned her carpet while going through a divorce and being in the position of being kicked out by the courts. A matching swatch of the carpet was obtained and they made the necessary repairs. Ask your landlord for a swatch of carpet that matches and repair it. Outside of that, own up to it and next time, be careful with the bleach and keep it away from fabrics unless it's diluted and used for wash. ;)

Since you only want your deposit back, try a marker of the same color and fill in the dots.
I have the same thing on my dark blue carpet.

I suggest you go to the store and buy some clothing dye and touch up the spot.or try putting tea or coffee on the spot to change the colour back

Try coffee...stain the bleach spot with coffee dark enough for it to match...but not too dark..
