Chapter 18 1/2 lolol
Keira tried to absorb all this in but it was becoming unbearable. She got up and headed for the door. “ Thank you.” She said to the doctor and left the room. “ Keira!” Orlando yelled . He was about to go out there with her but the doctor stopped him “ Woah lover boy. Leave her alone for awhile. Give her some time to get it together. “ he said taking hold of Orli’s arm. Orlando stopped and turned to him.” What Am I suppose to do? How can I help?” Orlando asked him. “There’s nothing you can do. Now that Keira is getting closer to breaking that wall that blocked her from her memories, all you can do is watch. You can’t remind her because you weren’t part of her life before. “ Orlando was frustrated. “ I can’t just leave here there handle this by herself! It’s too much for her. How can I just stand there and watch?!” he yelled. This wasn’t entertainment. It was the same thing as watching a horror movie. Watching Keira suffer like that reminded him of that so much. It was like watching that screen and not knowing what’s happening next. It makes you want to stop the movie or you either close your eyes so you won’t see. Orlando wanted to go into Keira’s mind and just blocked everything. Let her forget. He would pause the world for her. He can’t though. As much as he hated to admit it, the doctor was right. He couldn’t help.
Keira didn’t know what she was doing. She seem to fade everything out around her. She began to grow weak in the knees and just collapse. It made her furious that she couldn’t answer her own questions. She wanted to know so many things. She laid there on the hospital floor. The white light blinded her. She blinked and saw a blurry vision of the apple tree again. The same man was looking down to her. She was in his arms again. All her bruises were cleared from her face only leaving her rosy cheeks. She looked beautiful. She looked like a girl that didn’t have the care of the world. The man kept whispering sweet things to her ear. She couldn’t figure out what he was saying. His breath in her ear made her smile. She then felt her lips against his. Then it went black. Again she saw another man. Everything was musty and insecure. She saw a woman lay on the bed. Blood stains on the white sheets and a pillowcase over the head. In that dream, Keira stepped closer. She took the pillowcase and revealed the woman. It was her and dead. ******************************************** Other half
The sight to see herself dead made her even jump in real life. She woke up breathing heavy. She felt someone touch her and she gave out an impecunious scream. It wasn’t Orlando. It was John. Keira looked around. It wasn’t Orlando’s room. She didn’t see the same cheery wood cupboards that had the many photos. The silver old boombox in the corner. The scent of the bed she was lying wasn’t Orlando’s. Instead it smelt like beer and smoke. There was flower wallpaper on the walls that was about to fall off. It didn’t compare to Orlando’s white walls with the wooden frame around it’s perimeter. The room was small and crammed. There were broken beer bottles on the floor and on the night desk next to her. That sight frightens her most because it resembled a lot to the room in her dreams. When she looked out that window there was no flowers, no grass, no bushes, no birds and no dog chasing them. There also was no apple tree with its long branches that reached to the sky. The sky there was black, but it was not night. The sun rays tried to go through the little cracks of the musty sky, but there was no luck. Only a single ray was able to go through and it hit one single rose that stood there in the middle of the dead lawn. It was black and shriveled up. The pedals were laying around it and were dead also. It was a yellow rose because you could see a bit of the yellow on the tips of the pedals. “ Where is Orlando? Are we at your house?” she asked him. She felt uncomfortable. “He needed to be somewhere. He dropped you off here with me because it was closer. Are you ok?” he said to her. His words were like poison to her . They were untruthful coming out of the mouth of a man she did not trust. “ Take me to him please?” John knew Keira would ask that. So he didn’t argue. “ Fine, lets go. “ he said picking up his keys. The went out to his blue beat up mustang. The paint was scratched and the forr handles were rusty. Keira opened the door and a awful scent escaped. More bottles lying everywhere, old taco wrappers and paper lids. Keira found the seat belt and buckled up. John started the car. “ Where is he?” she asked. “ Oh, he’s somewhere, you’ll see.”<br> Orlando got a call from someone he least expect for a very long time. She called and asked him to meet her. She wanted to talk with him. Something was bothering her and needed to tell him about it. Orlando told her he will be there in 20 minutes and went out of the doctors office. He walked down the hall and found Keira on the hospital floor. She was asleep. He gathered her in his arms and went back to the hall. He passed the hospital chapel and starred at the cross that hung there. The candles were dimly lit and pews were vacant. Statues of holy figures were carefully arranged around the small room. Orlando was taken away by it’s presence and entered. He walked up to the center and kneeled with Keira in his arms. He looked down at her and looked up at the cross. He felt a tear running down and splashed Keira in the face. He began to break down. He needed advice. He wanted this woman in his arms for himself. He wanted her to love him. He wanted to stop her from suffering with her own thoughts and past. He prayed for her to get better and to help her and guide him. The cellphone rang again and got angry for her to disturb him in his time. He got up and whispered “ Thank you” to the holy figure and left. He drove up to John’s house. He knew it was impossible to take Keira with him to where he was going. John took Keira and laid her on his bed. Orlando thanked him and left.
Orlando arrived at a hotel. And walked casually up to the front desk. He asked him for the room number of the woman he was supposed to meet. The clerk gave him a piece of paper with the room number on it. “ Thanks man” Orlando said and left. He went up the glass elevator and to the third floor. He was getting closer to the room. He saw if the door number matched with the one on the piece of paper and knocked. He knocked a couple more times and waited. He knocked one more times and no9 answer. He was about to leave when he heard the door knob turn. “ Orlando you came!” the woman said hugging him” Hey Kate. “

Chapter 19
Kate let go of Orlando and showed him in. “Orlando I missed you so much! I wanted to see you again!” she said while playing with his hair. “Ya I know, its been a long time ey?” he said while taking her hand away from his hair and placed it against her side. Kate just smiled at him. She was beautiful. She had shoulder length blonde hair. Her bangs covered her different colored eyes. She was wearing a kaki leather top that had lots of space left because she was so skinny. Her brown leather pants looked extravagant on her legs. “ Champagne?” she offered him holding out a glass that sparkled to the light. Orlando took it and sipped some of the chalky liquid. “ So what did you wanted to talk about?” he asked. “ I got to be somewhere hun.” Kate looked at him and walked away and sat on her couch. Orlando looked at her across the room. She motioned for him to sit next to her by rubbing the space next to her.
“We’re here.” John told Keira. They parked at a parking lot of a fancy hotel. The air was misty and there was no star in the night sky. Keira folded her arms. She had no coat or anything. John holded her but Keira broke free. “ I’ll be fine.” She said. They entered the big hotel. The floor was white marble that looked like it sparkled like glitter. There was a fireplace burning in the lounge. John escorted her to a seat. There were big white long couches and satin pillows.” Wait here until I go talk to the clerk.” He told her. “ Okay.” She responded and stared at the fire burning. The tongues of fire looked like they were dancing to their own music. Little sparks shot out as if they were fireworks. The fire gave such sweet heat that made her body fill up with Goosebumps. She then remembered how she and Orlando danced to music in his room. Orlando having her hands settled on her waist. He moved her like as if she would swerve to the waves of the ocean. When the music would stop they wouldn’t. Their music was their sound of their breaths and laughs. Orlando’s hair tickled her nose when he leaned to her. “Hey we got it.” John said bringing Keira back from her blessed trance. She got up and followed him. They went to the third floor. John insisted for her to knock first while he was behind her smiling.
“ Orlando come over here.” Kate said smiling at him and bobbing one eyebrow. Orlando obeyed and sat. “ Is everything all right? Your awfully quiet tonight.” She asked laying her hand on his shoulder. “ Kate, Im in love with someone.” He said looking at her. He didn’t want to do this to her , but he couldn’t help it. “ Awww babe, that’s so sweet.” She said thinking he was talking about her. She got up looking at him. “ Kate, you don’t understand..” kate pressed her finger on his lips and sat on his lap. She took her hand and laid it on the back of her head pushing him to her lips.
Keira saw that the door was open and was not closed right. She could see the light of the room go through. So she just entered to a world full of crazy emotions. She saw a woman on Orlando’s lap kissing him. “ Keira! “ Orlando yelled freeing himself from Kate. “ Who is she?” Kate asked. Keira stopped. “ I ..I..I..am so sorry..” she whispered and turned out to the door. She went running to the elevator. “ Wait up!” John yelled. Orlando came running after her. Keira entered the elevator and pushed the button to close the doors. “ Keira wait, don’t go.” He said . He only saw the miserable face upon her and the doors closed. “ She wanted me to take her to you.” John said. Orlando looked at him grabbing him by the shirt. “ You knew where I was and with Whom. Why the hell you brought her here!” “ She wanted to see you. Also, who’s the one getting action when he is in love with her?“ Orlando hissed and entered the room. “ Who was she babe?” Kate asked getting up. “Kate this has to end. That’s the one I love.” He said looking out the cold glass window. Kate didn’t take it well. She started to freak and yell at him. Orlando knew this was going to happened so she settled her down. “ Kate , I had the best time with you. I just fell for someone who needs me more then you do. You’re beautiful Kate and never think less than that. Maybe Im not the one for you. I love you Kate, with all my heart as a friend. But I love someone her with all my heart also but with more meaning. “ he said. Kate understood. He hugged her tight. “ Good luck Kate.” He said and left her. She sat there. “ I’ll see you around Orlando Bloom.”
Keira ran out the elevator . She wanted to be alone so she didn’t go to the parking lot. She found the pools and hang out area. It was quiet . She sat down on one of the chair that pointed towards the pool. She can see the reflection of a full moon on the water. Slowly moving . Some rings were appearing going bigger and bigger. It started to drizzle. She hugged her knees and hid her face. She cried tears of sorrow and hurt. She was in love with him . She finally admitted to herself that she was falling for him. John was right. He did have a girlfriend. She felt a hand on her shoulder that stood her up. It was John. She got close to him and cried on his shoulders. John hugged her and smiled. He had this all planned and it was working.

LMAO^ Thanks
“You were right John. He was in love with someone else. I should of never have you take me here.” Keira said softly still in John’s arms. It hurt her to say that.
“ Well, why does it matter. You said you were only friends. You don’t love him do you?” John asked grabbing Keira by the shoulders .
Keira didn’t know what to say. He can’t let him know what she really felt for Orlando. She couldn’t take Orlando away from that girl he was with either. She didn’t have the heart to.
“ Ya were only friends. I was just shocked that all. It’s just weird. Ya know?” She said. “ Ya I know “ John said.
He knew she loved Orlando, but he wouldn’t accept that. He wanted her for himself, and himself only.
Orlando left Kate alone in the suite. He ran downstairs instead of the elevator. He was quicker. He went to the parking lot. He saw John’s car still there. He then knew they were still there. He looked everywhere for them. He checked in the lounge, the bathrooms, and checked the front desk. No one knew where they were. He got tired and found a chair to rest in. He leaned on the arm and covered his face with his hand. He sighed and was worried about Keira. He hated himself for even coming here. He should of never left her John. He knew John was the jealous type and would do anything to get what he wants. He looked out the clear wall and saw two black figures. He recognized the brown long hair. It was Keira. He got up and ran outside. She was with John. John saw Orlando coming their way. He then quickly picked Keira up and kissed her. He kissed her long and hard. Keria went with it. She didn’t have a chance to say anything . She didn’t know how to react to his action. Orlando stopped. He saw everything. He stood there in dismay of what he just saw. His emotions grew wild. There he saw his best friend kissing the one he adores. He just broke up with Kate for her. John had the idea on how Orlando felt for her. He couldn’t do anything about it now. It was his fault he didn’t let Keira know how he felt. He felt his own breath leave his body. He then regained energy and felt his hand tighten into a ball. He grew angry. Angry with jealousy and betrayal.
“How was that?” John asked Keira smiling. Keira tears were wiped away and her eyes were glossy.
“ Why did you do that?” she asked.
Orlando came up and said “ Keira..” looking at her with eyes of painful sorrow. “ We need to talk.” John then replied. “Keira I did that because I love you.” John said taking hold of her body.
Part 2
Orlando wanted to yell “ YOU DON’T LOVE HER I DO!” but he couldn’t . He felt his head heavy as well as his body. Keira then said
“John , you don’t love me . You don’t know what your saying.” She stopped.
“ No I do Keira, I do. You’re the one. “ John said again taking her hands and kissing them. Orlando sat down silent. He didn’t want to pay any more attention to this.
“ Well, I should leave. Keira..” he stopped. He thought this would have been the best time to tell her how much he cared, but he didn’t.
“I will leave the front door open for you. Don’t stay out too late. “ he said as a father would say to his daughter. He still worried for her. He walked.
” Orlando..” Keira said. Orlando didn’t hear her. She saw him walking farther and farther. His body was getting smaller and smaller and then disappeared into the gray fog.
Keira wanted to go run up to him and hug him. “I love you..” she said under her breath.
“ What?” John asked.
“Nothing. John im thisty can you buy me a coffee and after take me home?”<br> “ Home with me?” he asked.
“ No, Orlando’s house. Nothing has changed.” She said and they left.
After an hour or so, John took Keira home. They pulled up to the drive way. Keira grabbed the door handle and pulled one leg out.
“Thank you for everything. Good night.”
“ Wait.” John said and leaned over and kissed her on the check.
“Love you babe. Good night.”
Keira slapped him. “ I am not your babe! I’m no one’s babe!” she said in a shaky voice.
She was scared on what he would do. John tighten his fist and punched her in the arm. Keira yelped and he covered his mouth. “Oh, I’m so sorry, babe. I didn’t mean that. I’m so sorry.” Keira looked at him holding her arm. “Fu*k you, John.” She said and slammed the door. She walked up to the door and got in. “ You will soon.” He said and drove away.

Thank you marri!!
**************************************** Chapter 21
Keira came in. The door was opened as Orlando promised. Everything was dark. She turned on the light switch. It hurt her arm. She looked at it and it was purple and blue on its side. Every time she would even lift it up it would sting. She closed the door and walked into the kitchen. She didn’t see a sight of Orlando anywhere. She found a little piece of paper on the fridge. She took it and read it.. ” Keira, I went out for a little walk on the city. Don’t wait up for me. Orli
She crumpled the piece of paper and threw it away. She went to the freezer and grabbed an icepack. She put it slightly against her bruised skin and it gave a cool relief to it. Geuro came up to her and licked her hand. He looked like he just woke up. She went upstairs into Orlando’s room. The couch looked like as if someone was already there. The pillows had a imprint of a head and the blanket was messy rolled up laying on the floor. Keira was very tired. She went to the bed and didn’t even bother to cover herself with the sheets. She fell asleep thinking of what happened that day.
Orlando couldn’t sleep. He pulled a beanie over his head disguising his brown curls. He had a color scarf over his neck and a black jacket. He walked on the streets. The road looked wet and gave out a scent of wet dirt. The stop lights flashed a fabulous red ,green, then yellow. The cars drove by and he felt the whips of air hit him. His head was so busy with his thoughts that he didn’t even paid any attention around him. He had Keira’s bracelet in his hand. He looked at the engraved writing. He held it tight in his grasp. The hook pinched him. He grew angry and threw it to the ground. It slid to ground. He kept walking. The bracelet stopped at the feet of a woman. She picked it up curious to know what it was. To her shock and amazement she automatically recognized the bracelet. She didn’t blink for a moment. She then looked ahead of her to see if the man that dropped it was still there. She went up to every person asking if it belonged to him. Everyone ignored her. She grew tired , but she couldn’t lose hope. She took a smoke of her cigarette and breathed out a puff of smoke. The smoke flew above her like a gray cloud. She looked around to see if there was still hope. The cloud dissolved and she could see a small image of a man in a beanie walking forward. She ran as fast as she can in her red high heels. She caught up next to him. “ Excuse me , sir, Sir.” Orlando ignored her. “ Not now. Sorry lady.” She kept trying .HE walked faster.
“ But I need to know if this bracelet is yours.”
Orlando shut his eyes in anger. “ You can keep it Lady. Now please, leave me alone.” He said abruptly.
“ But sir, I know this bracelet. It belongs to my daughter. “ She said and started to cry.

Chapter 22
Orlando stopped. He looked at the woman. She wore a bright turquoise eye shadow and hot pink lipstick. Her hair was brown and fried. Her shirt was a leopard printed leather as well as her skirt. She topped it off with a white leathered coat with fur on the rim. She had humongous costume jewerely and held a cigarette in her hand. He caught sight of another cigarette box peeking though her pocket. Her face was wrinkly and had rings around her eyes with paper thin eyebrows. He finally realized that this lady was a prostitute.
“ Please” she sobbed. “ You have my daughter’s bracelet. I have a feeling you know how she is. Please.”
She continued trying to cover her mouth with her handkerchief. “ Let me buy you some coffee. I want to know how my Keira is. “
Orlando didn’t want to do anything with a stranger right now, but this was her mother. He thought that she has every right to know how her own offspring is doing. “ Fine.” He said. They walked into the nearest coffee shop. They had no costumers and he didn’t like the feeling of it when he stepped thought the doors.
They sat down to the nearest booth. Orlando helped her sit and pushed in her chair. He came around and took his seat and took of his beanie. She gazed at him.
“You’re such a gentleman. Hmm..Do I know you from somewhere?” She asked him. She swore she has seen this man before. Orlando chuckled. The waitress came and asked for their orders.
“ Two coffees please. “ She said and the waitress left to fetch them. “ How is my Keira. Oh please say she’s alright.” She asked while taking off her coat.
Orlando looked down. “ I wish she was.” She looked at him frighten.
“ What?” she asked.
Orlando looked up. The waitress came back and served them their coffees. “ Thank- you “ he said.
“ Sir, what is wrong with my baby?” she asked him again concerned. Orlando leaned forward and started telling her about everything.
“ I found her a couple weeks ago lying half dead on a hill. It appeared she got in a crash, a very fatal one.” He continued.
She listened. She would sometimes put her hands up her mouth and gasp.
“ So now, she has amnesia. She found this bracelet. She is slowly getting her memory. She askes me so many questions that I can’t answer. “ he stopped.
“ She also has many bruises on her body. The doctor says it wasn’t from the crash. Apparently, Keira is an old patient at that hospital. He doesn’t know how she got them.” She took a sip of her coffee and stopped. “ Maybe you know, Mrs. Knightly. “ he asked almost glaring at her.
She began to sob again. “ What do you think it is , sir?”<br> “ Please, just call me Orlando. “ she smiled slightly.
“ Orlando, What do you think it is?” she asked again. He stopped and looked up.
“ Was your husband abusive, Mrs. Knightly?” She replied.
“ Yes Orlando, he was, and one of the worst.”
Orlando sat back and covered his face. He rubbed his eyes. He was right. Unfortunately, he was right.
“ Why? Why didn’t you do anything about it?! Didn’t you know he touched your precious baby! Didn’t you know he violated Keira!?” he grew angry.
“Keira was never violated while I was there. He would always try, but I would always catch him. I told him to do anything he wanted to me instead of her and to never touch her. He would beat me and rape me . He threaten to kill me if I ever told. This went up for years. I was finally fed up and left. I told Keira I would come back. At the time she was only five. I gave her this bracelet so she would gain hope. “<br> “ Why did you leave her with him!? Out of all people Mrs Knightly!” he said raising his voice.
“I know ! I was very stupid. I tried to get her but I was afraid. I was so scared. I knew what he was doing to her, but I was to chicken to do anything. I wanted to kill myself. “ she said lighting up another cigarette. She looked at it as a way of relief.
“ Well, now you know . You were not the only one who wanted to Kill yourself. She tried to murder herself. She wanted to jump out of my own car. The stress is killing her slowly. And I won’t let her do that. I , for one will take care of her, Until the day I die. “<br> she stopped. “ Are you falling in love with my daughter?” she asked. He didn’t respond. He threw his beanie over his head. He left 7 dollars to pay for the coffees. And stormed out the shop. She came sunning after him
“ ORLANDO STOP! Please.” She yelled. “ What ? what now?!” he said furious. “ Well, you just let me see my daughter? For the last time?”<br>

Chapter 23
“ Please Orlando. I know you think I don’t deserve it, but I want to see her. I want her to know that I at least tried to see her. That she does have a mother.”
Orlando looked at her with sympathy yet with disgust. He didn’t have the heart to tell her own mother that she couldn’t see her.
“ Fine , Mrs., Knightly. I will bring her here at 10 in the morning at the coffee shop.”
“ Thank you Orlando. Thank you so much.”<br> He walked to his car and arrived at his house a few minutes after. The kitchen lights were still on and Keira’s shoes on the floor. He fixed everything up and went upstairs. He turned on the bedroom light. He saw Keira sleeping heavenly. Not making a sound. She was curled into a small ball. He figured she was cold and went over to cover her. He pulled over the blanket and saw the bruise on her arm. It wasn’t there before, or was it? He touched it slightly. She moaned and woke up.
“Orlando?” she whispered. “ Shhh..hun. Go back to sleep.” And she did.
Where the hell did she get that from? He thought. He grabbed a chair next to her and sat. He looked at her for hours. He was graced by her presence. She didn’t know how beautiful and sweet she really was. Something about her makes him shake. Just when he looks in her eyes he feels this warm desire in him. How can someone hurt her like that? Her own father? He looked at her. He never took his eyes away from her. The moonlight hit her like a harmless ray. She looked like she was in a spotlight. She was the star of the show, the room, and of Orlando’s heart. The night was young. The many dots in the black sky sparkled and the air was soft. He fell asleep on that chair. He dreamt that night. He kept having these weird dreams the past few nights. He never said anything about them though. He was back on that flowered field and under the apple tree. He was holding the mystery girl in his arms. He had recently kissed her but never saw her face. He just felt her lips touch his. Every time he would try to see who it was the picture would change or she will simply disappear.
Morning came. Keira woke up. She found Orlando on the chair. He looked so uncomfortable. She sleepily came up to him. She shook him softly.
“ Lando, Lando. Hun come to the bed. You look terrible here.” He flickered his eyes. He reminded her of a little boy not wanting to get up for school. He woke up and got out of the chair.
“ Morning love, how you feeling?” he asked her. “I’m fine Lando. Here go to the bed. You look like you slept on a rock. “ Orlando obeyed. He went to the bed hugging a pillow. “ Ill go make us some coffee.” Keira said. “ No, wait .” Orly said.
“ Come here a sec. Come here next to me. “pouting his lips. Keira couldn’t resist and climbed up to the bed and laid next to him. He threw the pillow to the floor and pulled keira. She rested her head on his arm.
“ Keira, I wanted to apologize, for last night. You didn’t let me explain.” He said. “ I know it looked bad, but it wasn’t like that.”<br> “There’s nothing to explain Lando. There is no need to apologize.” Keira interrupted. “ It was nothing Orlando.”
She got up and walked to the other side of the room.
“ Do you still want that coffee?” she asked.
Orlando caught her. He trapped her in the corner. She was surrounded by his arms. Their faces were close to each others and could hear each other’s breath. He then said softly.
“ Then why did you storm out crying Keira? Your face was full of hurt. Why?” He asked her. His fierce eyes were twinkling. They would look over every inch of her. “Why were you so hurt? He kept asking.” Why did you kiss John? Was it because you wanted to get me jealous?” Keira escaped from him and his human cage.
“I was not hurt. I was just surprised. Nothing was wrong with me last night. And I didn’t kiss John, he kissed me.”<br> “ Did you like it?” he asked her.
“ Why does it matter? Maybe I did." \She muttered.
She was lying. She hated that kiss. It was like poison that wouldn’t kill her. Kissing a man full of lies and insecurity was no good experience for her. She hated most that she was denying her own feelings for him.
“ He also told me that he loved me. “<br> “He doesn’t mean that. How can he love you?” he said.
“And what you do?!” she yelled.
Orlando didn’t respond. He just looked down. Keira waited for a response. He didn’t say anything. It felt like ages. That hurted Keira the most. Why won’t he say anything? She asked herself desperately. A minute passed. She then came to realize a hurtful truth. I’m such a fool. He doesn’t love me. She felt herself weak, but stood strong. If he doesn’t love me, then neither do I. Why suffer for nothing? She then quickly responded.
“ Now, I’m going to make those coffees.” She casually walked out the room and went for the kitchen.
She gasped. She sat on the floor and sobbed. He doesn’t love me. I should of known. He is in love with that one blonde girl. Not some beat up brunette. “ No , were only friends” she remembered saying. And only like friends I will act. She told herself. She heard his footsteps. She quickly dried her tears and fanned herself so her eyes wouldn’t be so blotchy.
“ Keira, put your coat on. We’re going to get our coffee downtown.” He demanded. “Why?” “I met someone last night that I think you should see again.”<br>

heheh yay! thanks! here we go!!! **************************************** Chapter 24
Keira didn’t fuss and followed Orlando to the car. It was dead quiet. The only sounds that were heard were their own thoughts buzzing in their heads. The window shield looked like it was just cleaned. The black leather in the interior was cold because the refreshing air conditioning. It still had that “new car smell”. Orlando was a man who drove with one hand on the wheel and the other out in the window or either tapping the roof. He always had his sunglasses on with the platinum frame on them. He loved wearing his beanies and scarves and pieces of the cloth on his left wrist. She wore the coat he got her along with a yellow t-shirt and low cut jeans. Her hair was no fuss at all. It was naturally beautiful. She had it down. She had natural highlights that brought out her eyes and figure. The road upon them was not as busy . There were only few cars. They stopped at a light and she looked over her window. A silver minivan was next to them. There was a woman , a man, and a child of only three in his car seat. They looked so happy. The man and the woman holding hands. The child holding a lollipop and giving out giggles of cheer. The car started running again. The mini van looked far away in distance in the side mirror and soon disappeared. It brought such joy to see a family. A family that loved each other. The man and the woman looked so happy. They were lovers of sweet sin. They had a family started already together. Keira wanted that. She wanted to find a husband to grow old with. To see children grow up with. Make decisions together and kiss him whenever she wants. Orlando caught her spacing out and whistled. Keira turned to him and playfully hit him in the arm. He laughed and shoved her lightly.
“OW Lando! You hit my bruise.” She stopped.
She got nervous. She should have not said that. She can’t tell him that John did that to her. He would grow furious.
Orlando looked at her and asked.” I am so sorry. I forgot. I saw it last night. How did you get that?”<br> “ I don’t know. I can’t remember. I must of bump into the bed frame while I was sleeping.” Orlando didn’t believe her, but he didn’t say anything.
“ Who are we going to come visit again?” she asked trying to change the subject.
Orlando cleared his throat. “ It’s just someone that wanted to see you. I just wish you don’t remember her.” He muttered.
“ What?” keira asked. Orlando pumped up the radio so he won’t be able to listen to Keira. Keira just let it go.
“ We’re here.” They parked in front of a small coffee shop. They had no one. She smelt the smell of freshly made coffee and their coffee cakes. She got out of the car. Orlando came around and ushered her in. She looked around. No one was there but an old man reading the newspaper. Orlando came up to a waitress. ” Excuse me mam, but im suppose to meet the same lady I was with last night today at 10. Have you seen her?” he asked.
“ She is right on the back patio sir. Would you like anything taken to you?” she asked him.
” Two coffees please.”
Orlando grabbed Keira. They stepped out again at the back patio. There were green chairs. Glass tables with their green umbrellas. There was a woman sitting. She had a big hat on. It was black with peacock feathers. Keira didn’t know what was going on.
“ Orlando can you please tell me what this is about?” she asked him.
Orlando pointed to that woman and walked over there. He tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around
“ Orlando. You’re here ! Where’s my baby.”<br> Keira just looked at them. Whos her baby? Orlando then pointed to her. The lady looked at Keira. She looked tired and beaten up with life. The lady stared at her.
“ Who are you?” Keira asked her.
The lady stood up and walked slowly up to her. She raised her arm and keira moved away. The lady moved closer and touched Keira’s face.
“Madam, please don’t do that. Who are you?”<br> the lady put her hand down. Keira looked behind her and looked at Orlando. Orlando was expressionless. His hands were crossed and his mouth opened, but no words came out and closed it back again “Keira.” The lady said.
“ Why do you know my name? Who are you madam!? Orlando lets go.”<br> The lady then said “ Keira, I am you’ re mother. “ she told her grabbing Keira’s arm and placing the bracelet in her palm. Keira grasped it. She looked back at the lady.
“What? How? You must be mistaken.” She said pulling away from her.
Mrs. Knightly then said,” Keira. I am your mother. I gave this same bracelet when you were just a child.” Keira’s head spinned. “Her little hands upon her mothers.” I’ll come back for you baby. I promise.”

Next one! wahoo! ******************************************** Chapter 25
Mrs. Knightly took Keira’s hand again.
“ Keira hun, I know this is confusing but I need to remind you.” She paused. “ Your father was and still is an evil man. He used to do awful things to me. He hit me and violated me. I couldn’t take it anymore Keira. So I escaped.”<br> “ And what did I do? Where did you take me?” Keira asked.
“ I..I..I left you with him.”<br> Mrs. Knightly couldn’t do it anymore. She broke into tears and hugged her daughter for the first time in ages. Keira was dumbfounded.
“ No mamma. You wouldn’t leave me with a man as dangerous as him. Or did you?” Mrs Knightly sobbed into her daughter’s shoulders.
“ I did I did I was stupid. I was stupid. Me and your father weren’t even married until after you came along.”<br> Orlando head spinned to them. “ What?” he asked. Keira broke loose from her. “What? You mean you weren’t even together?”<br> Mrs. Knightly sat down. Grabbed the handkerchief and blew her nose. It was stained with her foundation and lipstick. “ Keira hunny. Me and your father were just teenagers when we dated. We were in love, so I thought. He got me pregnant. I was just 16 . I didn’t know what to do. My parents never wanted to see me again and Ron, your father, had no money. He promised he would take care of me anyways and I believed him. “She stopped.
Keira didn’t say a word. She was all sucking it in like a sponge.
Mrs. Knightly continued.” He started to drink and became dangerous. I found out he was a rapist of many foreign towns. So that’s when I left.”<br> Keira grew angry. “You left me with a rapist mamma!” she yelled.
Mrs. Knightly responded, “ I wanted to start my life over. I wanted to forget the past. You need to understand.”<br> Keira grabbed the coffee and threw it to her feet. She let out wild sobs of anger. Orlando ran over to her to calm her down.
“ Oh I understand very clearly now. I was a accident! You didn’t want me. You wanted to forget about me and along with all the screwed ups. SO I was the one that was F*cked up! I got paid back for it all!!”
She yelled freeing her self from Orlando’s grasp. “ Keira its not like that. Yes, I didn’t expect you. We were just kids. I didn’t know how to raise a child. “Mrs. Knightly continued.
“ And leaving me was your best choice?!”
Keira tugged her hair. She turned to her mother and whispered to her ear “So much for starting a new life mamma. But hey the city slut title works perfect for you. “<br> Mrs. Knightly grew furious. She slapped Keira across the face.
“You have no right to call me like that .I put bread on my table anyways. “<br> Orlando then stood in front of her and said.
” And you have no right to touch her. So you may be her mother, but face it, Mrs. Knightly. You screwed up. “<br> Keira grew angry and yelled many things to her mother.
“ This can’t be true. It must be a dream. None of this is true. Your just some woman wanting to make money by saying you’re my mother. I refuse. I refuse to believe!” she yelled and ran out the patio door and out the shop. She pushed against the people and ran. She ran far away. Her only tracks were her tears falling to the ground behind her.
“ KEIRA!” Orlando yelled and chased after her.
Keira ran to the nearest place she could fine. She saw the entrance of the city park and ran in there. Orlando looked out.
“ Excuse me , sorry” he said while running through the people looking for Keira.
She saw her heading for the park. He ran across the street ignoring the traffic. He safely got to the other side of the sideway and entered the park. Keira didn’t know she was being followed. She found a spot where it was deserted from people and crowded with trees and a lake. She fell to the ground and lurked under the tree. She looked at her reflection on the lake water. Her tears dropped to the water and caused her reflection dissolve. She wanted to disappear like her reflection. She was a mistake anyways. She wasn’t supposed to be on this earth. She continued looking down the water. She saw another image appear.
“ Keira, hun. “<br> Keira stood up and faced Orlando.
” Why did you bring me here Orlando ! Why did you take me here to see her ! You knew what she was going to tell me!”<br> She said hitting him on the chest.
“Keira no. no. I didn’t know. She just wanted to see you. All the stuff about her getting pregnant, I didn’t know that. “<br> Keira looked at him. Keira covered her face with her hand. Sniffing and drying her tears, but they still came down her cheeks. She was kneeling.
“ Orlando , I wasn’t meant to be on this earth. I wish I was dead.. dead.”<br> Orlando kneeled down to her and kissed her on the forehead and pulled her close to him.
“ Don’t say that Keira. If you weren’t here , than how will I ever get to meet you?”
She threw her arms around his neck.
“ I am so sorry. I brought you to my sh*tty life. You don’t deserve a friend like me. Just leave me. Let me go away.”<br> Orlando rocked her.
“ Don’t say that. I love being part of your life. “<br> Keira hid in his hair.
“ Why do you put up with me? Why are you kind and take care of me?”<br> Orlando then whispered to her ear.
“ Because I came alive when I met you.”
*~*Meanwhile*~*
John walked into the bar. He ordered at beer and sat on the stool. A man next to him was almost passed out.
“ Had to many drinks man?” John asked the man.
“ You can never have enough to drink.” The man mumbled.
John gave out a appreciative laugh and yelled to the bartender for another beer for the man also. He came and slipped two huge mugs with sparkling liquid flowing from them. “ Cheers” john said raising his glass.
The man grabbed the handle and took a gulp of his drink.
“ Thanks man. “ he said.
“ No problem. So what brings you here?”
The man then said
“ I came looking for my daughter. She did this to my head.”<br> Pointing to a badly bruised spot on the back of his head.
“ Ouch “ jOhn said. “
That young lady sure is going to be in big trouble ey?” he said.
The man then looked at him and tugged on his collar
“ When I find her , I’m going to f*ck her and kill her.” He said.
“ Woah man, That’s great, but please let go of me.”<br> “Sorry” the man said and let go of him.
“ My name is John, John Gregg.” He said holding out his hand.
“ My name is Ron, Ron Knightly.” John looked at him.
Could this be the same father Orlando told him about? The same father that beat up Keira? He asked himself.
“ Ron, what is your daughters name?” he asked. Ron responded.
“ Keira that b*tch. Keira is her name. Why?”
John smelt victory.
“ Ron, I think I know where you daughter just might be.”<br>
