Note: Kay, guys, I'm doing this oneshot just a little different. I'm doing a song fic, to Evenings in London, and even more different, it's in Cody's POV. I've never been a teenage boy (haha) but I'm gonna do my best to write this. Also, the ending lyrics are from Drake's song, Marvin's Room, the song that Cody based Evenings In London off of. So that's why it's different. Please review!
SydneyCrush: Yeah, sure…It'll be the next one!
AngelaGirl13: Sure, Imma make you related somehow to Jake Thrupp (or maybe friends, not related) but something like that…It'll be after SydneyCrush!
I stood on the balcony overlooking the London skyline. The stars were out and bright against the black velvet sky. Cars zoomed below me; probably full of lucky guys on their way home to their girlfriends…
I'd never be able to go back to mine.
A light breeze came and picked up my hair, pushing it off my forehead and chilling my arms, uncovered because of my white undershirt. I shivered, and checked my phone.
Full of texts…
Full of missed calls…
Full of messages...
From her.
To Cody: Hello? Cody?
To Cody: When are you coming home? I miss you…
To Cody: Is something wrong? I haven't heard from you in so long, and I miss you.
To Cody: Is everything okay? What's happening, Cody? Why won't you answer me?
To Cody: Okay, so I guess you aren't getting these texts or something, because the guy I fell in love with wouldn't ignore me like this.
To Cody: It's been almost three months…
Looking through my call log
All I see's your name there
Wish I could just call you
But I've been overseas too long
Hope you aint gonna go try
And find yourself a new guy
But I've been thinking so much…
I'd call her, I swear I would, but I can't. Every time I try, I freeze up. I know she's better than that, I know I should do it. For her. But I can't.
I've ignored her for too long, I've been too busy. Every time I have a free chance, I debate doing it, but never have. She's in my thoughts every second I'm awake, in my dreams every moment I'm asleep. And yet, I can't even dial her number.
She's so beautiful…
So perfect…
So wonderful in every way.
And I'm me. Her busy pop star boyfriend, who's too scared to even call her anymore. I sighed, and stared down off the balcony into the street. The glimmer of the city was so special, but it meant nothing to me even more.
Nights in Paris used to feel so bright
Rather stay in my hotel, talk to you all night.
Even nights in London never felt so sad,
I wish you were here to share these states so bad.
Nowhere was as beautiful as it used to be. London, Paris, New York, in America, nothing was the same anymore. When I had my girl in my arms, everything was so much better. The lights were brighter, the music sweeter, the stars more numerous…
The life we chose was never together…
Never together, but always and forever.
Mornings in Rome used to be here, too.
And even in London, I'll always be faithful…
Back home, we'd made the decision together. She knew what she was getting into by not breaking up with me when she had the chance. I'd told her that we wouldn't see each other, that I wouldn't be able to hold her, kiss her, love her as much as I could when we were together.
She'd cried in my arms for hours and hours, and I'd cried too. We were so in love, so connected in every way. And I just let her go…
Was it too late for me to get her back? If I called her back now, would she answer? What if she'd hooked up with another guy while I was gone?
Before she'd left, she'd promised me that she'd wait for me. But I'd also promised her I'd call…I broke mine, would she break hers?
Always and forever. Two little words, with such a heavy load attached. Would she be holding up her end? Or was she gone forever?
I never stop thinking 'bout how I miss you too much
And I don't kiss you enough, I know that…
Twenty four hours a day, she was in my head. I didn't even deserve her, not in the slightest. I missed her too much, I didn't kiss her enough, and it was too late. She'd find another guy, maybe one worthy of her.
I took a deep breath, and leaned over on the cool metal balcony. I watched as lights in windows went out, one by one, buildings becoming completely dark as people went to sleep for the night.
I checked the clock on my phone. Almost two in the morning, but I wouldn't be able to sleep even though I was so tired. But, it was getting cold out here. I walked inside and closed the balcony door, and then sat on the edge of the bed in this gigantic suite as I thought.
If I could go home, right now, what would happen? I'd text her, and then we'd meet up.
Babe I just landed, oh yeah, I just landed.
You need to come over, 'cause babe I just landed.
How about I text you what time you should be here?
Text me right back, yeah, as soon as you're leaving.
She'd text me that she was on her way, and I'd do my best to get ready, which involved making sure I looked alright and that the house wasn't a mess. She'd knock on my door, and I'd open it.
She'd throw herself into my arms, as always, and I'd stroke her hair as we greeted each other. Her voice would be soft and sweet.
"I missed you, Cody," she'd say. And then I'd pull her into the house, and she'd shut the door. I'd press her up against it, and kiss her a million times, until I made up for all the lonely nights I had caused her.
I need you right now, are you down
to come chill with me?
Aint no other city that I'd rather be,
It's like all these beaches were made just for me.
Forgot to bring your present back, I'm ashamed.
Bet you'd love that ring engraved with your name.
The ring. The ring I had bought her in Japan. I had left had it engraved with her first name, and I knew she would love it. It might have been enough for her to forgive me…
If only I hadn't left it on that plane.
I swore, remembering this once again. It would have been perfect, but like everything else in my life, I'd screwed it up.
Been texting me all week, oh girl please explain
Finding it hard getting used to my fame?
I'd do it. I'd call her.
I picked up my phone, and dialed the numbers shakily with my fingers. It rang once, twice, three times.
I've been talking crazy girl,
I'm lucky that you picked up, lucky that you stayed on…
I need someone to put this weight on…
"Hello?"
I took a deep breath, and slowly felt a smile cross over my face.
"Hi baby, it's me. I missed you."
