It had been two long weeks since that day he felt like his whole world shattered around him. He had been in the studio, just trying to come up with something that would follow the success of ‘Moves Like Jagger’. But they were all taking a break and had the tv turned on, a few beers cracked open. Just hanging with the guys. Anna had a press conference with Victoria Secret so he hadn’t expected to hear from her much at all today. She’d just sent the standard ‘hugs and kisses xoxo’ text she always did and that had been good enough for him. She was a busy gal, no sense in busting her chops about being more attention oriented towards her boyfriend. “ Hey hey turn it up, it’s Anna!” one of the guys said as they looked up to the screen to see that Hillary and Alexandra were waving after their interview together and the camera was turning towards Madeline and Anna. He smiled as he watched the girls, after all he had formed a close relationship with each of them. ‘ Madeline it’s been photographed that you’re wearing a very special ring on your hand and you aren’t being shy at all about it, wearing it into the studio today.. can you tell us what that’s about?”. Cody narrowed his eyebrows as he brought his beer to his lips and took a drink. Instantly she smiled and Cody shook his head. All of the angels described her as ‘the flirty one’ and it was definitely true of her. After she flicked her hair over her shoulder she held her hand up and grinned shyly, ‘ Yes, I’m engaged. To the most brilliant man in the entire world.. Ryan O’Neil, he proposed after a roadtrip. We have this thing with the sunrise. It’s my absolute favorite thing in the world. To wake up and see the sunrise… it’s just beautiful, literally and symbolically. I’ve had some things happen in my life, like we all have.. some you all are aware of and some you aren’t, and um.. to me a sunrise just sort of symbolizes a clean slate, you can go anywhere. And uh.. it’s sort of perfect. It’s my relationship with Ryan, I feel like it can go anywhere and he accepts me for who I am which is the most important of all. And he’s tall.. so I can wear heels..which MIGHT be the most important of all” she said jokingly as she laughed and Cody gave a small nod. Ryan O’Neil, good kid. At least that’s what he thought of him the few times he had met him. The boys of the Victoria Secret angels. Some of the luckiest sons of bitches to come across the planet if you asked him. ‘ Well congratulations to both of you.. Anna should we be seeing a ring on your finger any time soon?’. Cody reached into his pocket to take out his phone so he could call Ryan and congratulate him, though his eyes were on the screen at his girlfriend. He paused, listening to her laugh and then lowered his beer as she shook her head. ‘ No I am.. very much single,’ she said and Cody lowered his hand that held the beer in it. Single? They were pretty damn public about their relationship. Hell, they’d been together for years. “ Single? Aren’t you dating Cody Cavanaugh of Marron 5?” the interviewer asked. The silence in the studio was ridiculous and Cody could feel the eyes of his entire band, producer, everyone on him as his eyes stared intently on the screen. ‘ We were.. but we decided it was best to part ways. It was a mutual decision and we just grew apart. It’s the best for both parties involved.” she said with another smile and a nod. “ So you’re single,…ready to mingle” the interviewer said and his eyes moved from Anna just for a moment and looked at Madeline, who was staring straight ahead like she was the most uncomfortable person in the entire world, probably wondering what in the fuck was going on. Yeah, you weren’t the only one angel. ‘ Very single, very ready to mingle’ Anna said before tossing a wink in the direction of the camera. Quickly Madeline took over the interview until it was finished, leaving Cody staring at the television screen as a commercial came on. ‘ Dude you guys broke up?’ someone in his band finally piped up.
Cody had stared at the television until the program started again and Anna was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly it was like he snapped into action, looking back at his phone. No longer trying to get a hold of Ryan, he could talk to him later. He called Anna and clenched his teeth as she ignored it after the first ring. He looked down at his phone and dialed her again, this time she let it go to voicemail and he couldn’t help the roar that came from his chest as he yelled out as loud as he possibly could, “ What… the FUCK..Anna!” he screamed into the phone before he lowered his phone and chucked it against the studio wall with all the strength he had. Cody reached up and scratched the edge of his forehead with his thumb, “ Session’s over” he said before grabbing his jacket off the back of one of the chairs and kicked it over, leaving the studio in the complete silence that they were in. Two weeks. Hadn’t heard a word from her. They weren’t even in the same fucking state when she had pulled that shit. So a week later he had decided to get away from Los Angeles, head to New York. He didn’t have family there, or many friends. But some of them were there. He knew Logan Renner just from working in the business. He knew Ryan from Madeline. And though he was friends with Madeline, Hillary, Rosie, Alexandra, he didn’t exactly want to see any of them right now, at least not in the sense that he wanted to hang out with them alone. He’d been texting Madeline quite a bit after she texted him how awful it was of Anna to do that. Hillary had picked him up from the airport, where he’d officially met Stefan. Surprising he hadn’t met him sooner considering he was dating an angel, but whatever. That had been a week ago. Since then, he’d already gotten an apartment here in New York. He wasn’t going back to Los Angeles, that only had memories. That had been their life together. Now he wanted to define himself away from her. He hadn’t said much, though paparazzi had asked him a few times about what it was like to break up with an angel, the only thing he had to say? ‘ Satan started off as an angel, didn’t he?’. That seemed to satiate them, but he was always quick to add how he still loved the other angels. He wasn’t going to pretend that he was okay with all of this. Anna had been a bitch. So after a morning of unpacking, eating some shitty café bagel and performing ‘ Makes Me Wonder’ and ‘Moves Like Jagger’ on a morning show with the rest of Maroon 5, he found himself in route to Taboo Records.
Cody took in a last drag from his cigarette before he put it out outside the main entrance and took in a deep breath, letting it settle into his lungs before he blew the air out slowly and then headed inside the building. It was pretty awesome how Logan had accomplished to make both a laid back environment and such a successful one at the same time. He nodded his head in greeting to a few people as he passed them before he made his way to the elevator. This may not have been the first time he spoke to Logan, but it was his first time at Taboo Records. It was pretty impressive. He put his hands in his front pockets and cleared his throat as a few other people made their way into the elevator and then pursed his lips at the silence. He looked around at all of them, looking over his shoulders before he tried to crack a joke, “ This must be where Parker got inspiration for that ‘Ours’ song.” he said, giving a quick smile but then clicked his tongue as no one even moved from looking straight ahead. “ Okay” he mouthed before taking in a deep breath and waiting for the doors to open. He stepped out, stopping someone as he walked down the hallway for the direction to Logan’s office. He slowed his pace as he approached the secretary’s desk and grinned, “ Logan Renner in?” he questioned as he stopped in front of her desk. ‘ Do you have an appointment?’ the girl asked without looking up. “I’m not really sure I’m going to need one,…” he said, making a slight face. If Renner was busy, he could just pop his head in, say hey let’s grab a beer later, and head out. ‘ Sir everyone needs an appointment’ she said as she looked up and then stopped, ‘ Mr.Cavanaugh’. Cody flashed another quick grin, ‘ That’s my dad. Call me Cody.. I realize an appointment is probably necessary but is there anything you could possibly do for me? I’d be in your debt,” he said and then smiled as she all but jumped up from her desk and headed over to Logan’s door, knocking. “ Mr. Renner, Cody Cavanaugh is here to see you,”. Cody stepped in behind her, stepping into Logan’s office where he saw him sitting behind the desk with an assortment of papers in front of him. “ What the fuck, man? “ he said as a grin spread across his lips and he headed further inside, taking his hands out of his pockets to slap his hand firmly against Logans before he tossed him a fistbump. “Last time I saw you you said that you were going to spend less time behind the desk and a little more time doing things you love,” he said before he gestured to the desk. “ You might remember.. we were at an award show. You got engaged to Blake Parker…. Again,” he said sarcastically, “ Ringing any bells?” he asked before he sat down and brought his right ankle over his left knee to make himself comfortable.
