Collin laid his head down on his desk, exhausted from the last few weeks. It seemed like everyone was moving on a fast pace in their careers and he was just trying to keep up with all of them, stay ahead of some of them. But his meeting with Logan had gone well this morning, just getting stuff straightened out for what the videos needed to represent for each of the artists. Dani as the feisty girl next door. Natalia was about evolving. All Time Low was a good time. The Maine were the rock indy type guys.. then there was Blake who just told you exactly what she wanted anyways. And Anabelle. The girl that they were marketing as the sexy side of country even though if you told her that she would be completely baffled and not understand. Which Logan thought just sold the image even better. She really was just naïve. With that he lifted his head off of his desk and made his way out into the hallway. Just a quick elevator ride and he was at the floor emerged with studios. He stopped near Natalia’s, placing his ear by the door when he heard music playing. He decided against interrupting her and made his way to Anabelle’s studio, tapping his knuckle against the side of the door. “ Hey,” he said as he stepped inside. Anabelle looked up, having perched herself in the big revolving leather chair as the lace of her blue sundress laid flimsily over her thighs. “ Hey sugar,” she said, placing her hands in her lap as she smiled up at him. “ Hey Gracie,” he said tiredly before he sat down in the chair beside her. “ So what kind of video do I need to start thinking up?” he asked, tilting his head towards the pad of paper that she was scribbling against.
‘ Mmm.. well. There’s been the ‘ im gonna get you back for doin me wrong’ breakup song, the all-american girl you can relate to song, and now I need one that’s sort of.. I’m strong no matter what, even if our relationship is over song,” she said, placing her chin in her hand as she tapped her pen against the pad and then looked at him. “ Well it shouldn’t be that hard should it? Didn’t you write Before He Cheats?” he questioned, placing his foot up on the desk connected to her soundboard. When he looked over she was shaking her head, ‘No that was Logan… you think I could come up with something that mean?” she asked before she turned her head to him slowly and smiled. “ No I suppose not…” he said before he took in a deep breath and sighed. “ Alright well.. how did you feel when we broke up?” he asked, looking over at her. They hadn’t really talked about it, at all, ever. She gave him the engagement ring back, made all the calls. She was surprisingly good at it. Of course, that had just made him look like more of an ass. Maybe that’s what she had intended to do. ’ Oh my life was just crumbled.. I gained like fifty pounds. Ate nothing but ice cream and cookies. Started drinking a lot. Picked up this nose candy problem,” she said, causing him to laugh. “ How do you even know what nose candy is?” he asked, and this time she smiled at him before taking in a deep breath and setting her pen down. “ Honestly, come on.. how’d you feel. Did you hate me? Did you want me to die?” he asked, watching her with a slight edge of nervousness as he waited for her answer. “ No,” she said quietly and shook her head, “ I could never hate you,” she said, giving a slight shrug of her shoulder. “ I can’t hate people,” she said looking through the pages. “Anabelle, come on. This is the time to get pissed. Write it down. Stop pretending that you didn’t get hurt. Look at me..” he said, scooting forward in his chair and placed his elbows on his knees as he leaned forward. “ I promised to spend the rest of my life with you. I promised you a future with a white picket fence, three or four little kids, lots of land for them to play on… family vacations, Christmases.. that we would ring in every New Year together. I promised I would love you until the day I died. You had an entire future planned out for us, and then I slept with someone,” he said, watching her as she tilted her head and looked away. “ I took away a life you planned. Write something..anything.. How does that make you feel?” he asked again, trying to push her into talking to him, blaming him. Hell, he had been waiting for her to blame him. Maybe if she would, he wouldn’t feel as guilty. ‘ Like it was my fault,’ she said before she picked up her stuff and held it against her chest as she made her way out of the studio and shut the door. Collin sighed and lowered his head, running his hand over the back of his hair. Why did she have to go and be that… what was the word for it? Angelic? Was that even the right word? She was the worst person in the world to do wrong, because you couldn’t even find a reason to get mad at her. It just ended up eating at you, making you feel like you must be the worst person in the entire world to have been able to do something so horrible to someone who would legitimately not hurt a fly.
It had been about a week and he still hadn’t talked to Anabelle. She wasn’t answering his calls, but had sent him a fruit basket to apologize for her absence in his life. Which was why he was eating an apple as he came down the hallway of the studios. He was finally back from spending a few shows with Joel and filming for his Never Say Never documentary. Collin bit into the apple, lowering it down to his side before he stepped into Natalia’s studio. “ Hey,” he said before he smiled and leaned down to kiss the side of her neck before he hugged her tightly and stood straight. “ Just got off the plane,” he said, finishing chewing the bit of apple that he had in his cheek. He turned, leaning against her soundboard as he faced her. “ People are responding pretty well to you being a bird..” he said, before he lifted his eyebrows up and down dramatically, “ I think I might make you a flamingo next,” Collin grinned before he leaned down and gave her a kiss. “ Work..” he said before he leaned away from her soundboard and exited her studio. Collin started to make his way past Anabelle’s studio before he decided this was ridiculous. She couldn’t not talk to him forever. But when he stepped inside he saw her recording behind the booth, headphones on, hands over the earphones. Kiersten, Zoe and Felicia were sitting behind the soundboard. Kiersten looked like she was the only one actually working, but surprisingly none of them looked too worried about Dalton being there. Probably due to the fact that he was Claire’s brother so they had gotten used to seeing him around. “ How’s our girl doing?” he said to Dalton before he looked over at Anabelle and started listening. New song? And that’s when he stopped chewing his apple, listening to some of the lyrics. ‘ Everything got out of hand and I let it slide, now I only have myself to blame for falling for your stupid games.. I wish my life could be the way it was before I saw your face.You stole my happy, made me cry. Took the lonely and took me for a ride. … I’m starting to see everything you lack. And all your things well I threw em in the trash. Now you only have yourself to blame, for playin all those stupid games.. you’re always gonna be the same, oh no you’ll never change.. You want my future you can’t have it.. ‘.
Collin swallowed the apple he was chewing roughly and kept his eyes locked on her through the glass that was between them. There wasn’t a part of him that was still in love with her. Everything he had was Natalia’s. But it still made him feel like shit to know that he had done that to someone that he had loved. “ Oh..” he said, giving a quick sideways glance to Dalton. “ Well..” he said before taking in a deep breath. “ That’ll be fun to do a video for..and hear… a lot…” he said, before he threw the apple into a trashcan and placed both of his hands on top of his head. ‘ Alright let’s start from the second chorus’ Kiersten said to Anabelle before Collin walked over and pushed the same button to speak to her. “ I see you found your song,” he said, staring directly at her. ‘…. How’s it sound?” she asked cautiously. “ Awesome.” he said before standing up and pulling his hand away from the button. She couldn’t hear him anymore so he was mainly talking to himself. “ Fucking awesome,” he said under his breath before he left the studio and headed back towards Natalia’s.
