Paradise

The Explanation

Alli POV

"Cody how could you let Bella do that?!" I shouted his face when red with anger, he shouted "Because I have to!" He stormed out the cafe, I stood there for a moment then ran home. I heard loud bangs and crashing noises coming from Cody's room, I finally plucked up the courage and went inside. I walked in and everything in was messed up, his bed linen was on the floor, his CD rack was pushed over, Jack Johnson's cracked face everywhere. Worst of all a collage mad by a fan of Cody, Tiana, Jake and I had been pulled off the wall. He stopped when he saw my reaction, he sat in the corner with his head in his hands. I slowly rubbed his back and asked "What happened bro?" He sighed and mumbled, "Justin told Matt that for publicity I had to go back out with Bella, or at least pretend to or he would take me of the record label! But that's not the worst part, Bella has to come with us on tour and be a dancer! Alli what am I gunna do!" He buried his head in his hands, I sighed he can't exactly ask Tiana if he can pretend to date someone else. I suddenly had an idea"Cody take Tiana to the studio with you tomorrow and let Matt tell her." He nodded, I just kept whispering "It will be okay" until we both fell asleep

Tiana POV

I woke up to my phone ringing, I looked at the caller ID 'Codes <3' I clicked answer and put it on speaker. What? I'm lazy deal with it, he said "Hey, I'm sooo sorry about yesterday I can explain everything! Meet me at the beach in 5, then we can go to the studio." I laughed and said "Cody it's gunna take me a lot longer than 5 minutes to get ready." He laughed and said "Fine meet you at yours in 10? Okay bye" I slowly got up and got dressed. Cody arrived when I was about to start my makeup, he saw me open my makeup bag and he grabbed it. I shouted "Cody I need that!" He then held it above his head. Did I forget to mention that he is 6"1' and I'm 5"5' see the problem? He put one hand around my waist while the other was still in the air, he said softly "You don't need makeup your already perfect." He missed me sweetly the handed me my makeup bag, I put it down and he grabbed my hand. We then left my house.

We arrived at the studio, when Matt saw us, Cody awkwardly let go of my hand, he scratched the back of his head and said "Matt I don't wanna be the one to tell Tiana about the Bella situation, so we are here"

Cody POV

Matt was explaining the everything to Tiana but used the excuse that it was 'for my career'. While he was doing this I subtly put my arm around Tiana's waist. What? I can't help it. She replied "I respect your career, but as long as it's fake I don't mind." I smiled at her, looked into her eyes and whispered "It's definitely fake." I started to lean in but Matt awkwardly coughed completely ruining the moment. He then spoke "Cody I forgot to tell you, you and Bella are going on Ellen tomorrow to announce your relationship." I screamed "WHAT?!?" Then ran out taking Tiana with me.

When we arrived at home, I walked in to the living room still holding Tiana's hand, I saw Bella sitting there. She turned around and squeaked "Codes I missed you!" She saw Tiana holding my hand and asked "What's she doing here?" I stormed up to my room and slammed the door. I paced around my room, when I heard a knock "Leave me alone Bella." It slowly creaked open and I heard Tiana say "It's not Bella." I turned around to look at her, she came towards me and hugged me, that instantly calmed me down. She sat me down on my bed and sat on my knee. She wrapped her arms around my neck and mine instantly went around her waist. She buried her head in my neck and asked "We will get through this won't we?" I sighed and kissed her forehead "Of course we will angel."
