Jordan looked on helplessly as Angela ran from the studio. He wasn't able to run after her and tell her he was innocent because they were on a live TV program.
"Such drama" laughed the host. "Guess you truly are leading the rock and roll lifestyle Mr Catalano" he sniggered.
Jordan stared at the host, his eyes full of anger and confusion. "It's not like that " he whispered angrily.
"Ok guy's, you're about to perform you're new single Three Libras, can you tell me what this song is about?"
Shane blushed and looked up. He coughed and said shyly " It's about someone unobtainable, someone you long for that doesn't know you exist". Shane thought back to when he wrote the song about Sharon. It was the day after he saved her from being raped by Kyle. He had mustered up the courage to ask her out, but she had said that friendship was all she wanted.
"Shane actually wrote this song" Jordan sighed, he was still agitated and upset that Angela had left. He was becoming angry that she didn't let him explain or in fact trust him after so long together.
"Let's do this guys.." He said impatiently.
They took to their instruments and began to play. Jordan took to the mic and started singing softly.
Threw you the obvious
And you flew with it on your back
A name in your recollection
Down among a million same
Difficult not to feel a little bit
Disappointed and passed over
When I look right through,
See you naked but oblivious
And you don't see me
But I threw you the obvious
Just to see if there's more behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel,
Eyes of a tragedy
Here I am expecting just a little bit
Too much from the wounded
But I see, see through it all
See through, see you
'Cause I threw you the obvious
To see what occurs behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel,
Eyes of a tragedy
Oh well, oh well
Apparently nothing,
Apparently nothing at all
You don't, you don't
You don't see me
You don't, you don't
You don't see me
You don't, you don't
You don't see me
You don't, you don't
You don't see me
You don't see me
You don't, you don't
You don't see me at all
The audience erupted in applause and screams. Jordan smiled and nodded his head in thanks.
Shane was grinning, it's the first time they had played his song live and it sounded awesome, he looked at Ben and winked.
Ben had noticed a young girl that hadn't taken her eyes off of him throughout the song, he looked back to Shane and mouthed "I'm in there.."
"Give it up for RESIDUE" shouted the host "Thanks very much guys and good luck with your Eurpoean tour"
He shook their hands and Residue waved to their fans and did a bit of autograph signing and the usual posing with fans for pictures.
After the show, Jordan and Shane were sitting in the make-up room, drinking coffee and discussing Rayanne. Ben was no where to be seen and they figured he had gone off with the young groupie that had been salivating over him.
"I just don't understand why the fuck she said that man" he said sadly. "I mean, what the hell did she mean about having proof?" He shook his head and rolled his eyes.
"You need to talk to Angela man, how would you feel hearing some dude saying that about her?" Shane was looking at his friend wondering if he did actually fuck Graff.
"You weren't like wasted last night were you man?"
Jordan looked at Shane and protested "The only one wasted was you man, I had like two fuckin beers no more no less. If you hadn't of bought that slut back to ours NONE of this would be happening now man.."
Shane grew annoyed at Jordan's accusations and tone " Look buddy, don't take it out on me ok? Seriously, I didn't know who she was, if I knew it was Graff I would NEVER had bought her back"
"Well whatever Shane, I need to find Angela.."
Shane rubbed his eyes in frustration he needed to see Sharon , he missed her.
Jordan picked up his cellphone and dialled Angela's number.
"Baby where are you? We need to talk, you have to believe me , I don't know what the fuck she was on about"
Jordan was leaning over the dressing table, head buried into one arm while his phone was pressed to his ear with the other.
"Ok, so I'll be over at Rickie's in a bit, don't move please. Angela please stop crying, I can't bare to hear you upset"
Jordan looked up to Shane, with tears in his eyes.
"She hates me man " he whispered.
"C'mon Catalano, let's get out of here. I've gotta see if Cherski's around and you need to get your ass to Angela"
He pulled Jordan up from his chair and both headed out of the back entrance to their car.
Angela was at Rickie's house. He still lived with Mr Katimski and his partner. She was explaining the whole story about Rayanne to him and Rickie.
"Gee whizz Angela, I don't know what to say or believe" Katimski had started to feel as if he was intruding on Rickie's friends life. "I mean, you love Jordan so you have to trust him right?" He tried to sound hopeful for her.
"But him and Raynie have done this before" cried Rickie. "Angela you've been with him for two years. He's a rock Star now , do you really think he'd stay faithful?"
Angela looked at Rickie and started to cry. "Rickie, how can you like say this? You know how much Jordan has proved himself to me over all this time!"
Rickie pulled Angela into his arms and hugged her. Katimski, shuffled awkwardly on the spot and then headed for his kitchen.
"I'll make you guys some coffee"
"The only way we can sort this out Ang, is if we get Rayanne round here..Like now" Rickie was dreading this, he knew that Rayanne had problems with drugs and was still struggling with alcoholism and he hadn't seen her for over a year.
Angela sniffed and wiped her face. "Then we'll wait until Jordan arrives and then we'll get Rayanne over here" she said simply.
She felt terrible about running out on Jordan at the MTV studios. She wasn't running away from him, she was running away from Rayanne. She trusted Jordan, she apart from Shane was one of the few people who actually had faith in him.
Her stomach was in knots. What was Rayanne playing at she thought.
