Whats Left of Me*UPDATED*

[designerdenimx3]

Hey guys! I'm starting a new story. I really like the idea of this one, but i won't stop my other ones. Just expect less frequent updates on them.

On this story, i tell the other people's perspectives on the events in the chapter if they are in it. Like in this one, you see how Keira and Rupert both feel as well as Orlando. So when you see this: > that means it's someone else's thoughts! Tell me if it gets confusing though, if it does, i'll stop. Enjoy!


Chapter One

It all started out as innocence that one night in London. But innocence soon evolved into something much, much more. If Orlando had known before hand what the end results would have been, he never would have tempted Keira with that kiss. That one intoxicating kiss that would forever be imprinted in Orlando's mind as the day his life turned into an emotional Hell. Never would he have imagined that one girl he ended things with a little more than a year ago would still make him feel like a love sick puppy. He couldn't even pass a newsstand without catching a glimpse of her latest paparazzi photos. But what made his heart sting the most was who he saw her photographed with. Her actor bloke of a boyfriend Rupert Friend had started to make Orlando ooze jealousy the past few weeks.

Just earlier that night the two were spotted at Hyde, a very celebrity driven club. Keira sat perched on Rupert's lap the entire time they were there, never leaving his sight. The couple was hidden in a corner, completely engrossed in each other. When Orlando spotted them, he wanted to be in Rupert's place so badly, sitting right there next to Keira. But as he watched Rupert intertwine his hands with hers, he remembered that it could have been him. If he hadn't made the mistake of concluding their relationship with those two final words, he and Keira would be doing a lot more than just holding hands.

As Orlando rested in his L.A. hotel room, he wondered if things would be different. He wondered what could have been. His mind soon drifted off to thoughts of Keira. Orlando remembered how much her warm, inviting smile made his crappy days turn to ones of ecstasy and bliss. Her light brown, coffee colored eyes always carried a twinkle in them. But the thing Orlando missed the most about her was Keira's personality. She always knew how to light up a room. Keira definitely had this aurora about her that people seemed to love. However, her personality was also what he missed the most.

No longer did he have someone to comfort him or make him laugh hysterically and uncontrollably. It's like he let a part or him go the day he ended things with her. Why did he have to be so stupid?
You had her Orlando, she was yours!
His train of thoughts drifted off once again. He ended up reminiscing about the evening of January 27; the day he broke Keira's heart. But now he realizes it was also the day that he broke his heart.

It was a chilly winter night in January. Snow was gently gliding to the ground, creating a crisp, white blanket of powder on the London Streets. Orlando and Keira were nestled inside a ritzy restaurant next to the window. Photographers were right beneath them, snapping their picture left and right. The atmosphere was incredibly romantic, which is what Orlando didn't want. All the tables were illuminated by two vanilla scented candles. The area was dimly light, creating a crimson glow. Quiet conversation between the many couples in the room completed the effect.

Keira looked stunning. She wore a white, strapless taffeta dress that ended just above the knee. Her scarlet red heels matched her lipstick and Marc Jacobs clutch. Crystal chandelier earrings dangled gracefully as she spoke. Her long, golden-honey locks of hair were slightly pulled back while soft waves framed her face. Keira had a beautiful bronze glow, which was the result from spending weeks in the Caribbean. It was the type of tan that every woman coveted. The candle light made her shine even more. She was the living definition of beauty, joy ... perfection. Her face beamed happiness as she continued on with her monologue that Orlando was supposed to be listening to. Could he really follow through with this?

"Im so glad we finally get to spend time together Orlando" Keira gushed, reaching for his hand and lacing it between her own.

"Ya" he replied absent-mindedly, nodding his head a little to much.

"I mean, isn't' it wonderful that we finally get to have some 'us time' together? This is so much better than the times when we would couldn't see each other for weeks" Keira was still all smiles. Her bubbly personality and gorgeous face was making it extremely difficult for Orlando to decided whether or not to end their relationship.

"Keira, I need to tell you something" Orlando said quietly, interrupting her in the middle of another mindless sentence.

"Ya, whats going on?" Her tone turned more serious as she focused her full attention toward Orlando.

"Well, I-I've been thinking, and am starting to believe that it's best we go our separate ways and see other people." Orlando took a deep breath but never let it out. He was anxious to see how she would react.

Upon hearing his harsh words, Keira's eyes started to slowly fill up with tears. How could he do this to her? "What are you saying?" she asked weakly, making sure she had heard him right. But Keira knew exactly what he meant. Orlando was breaking up with her, and breaking her heart.

Orlando let out a long sigh. Why were girls so naive? Didn't she get it? He wasn't interested in being with her anymore, plain and simple. "It's over. I'm sorry."

"I bet you are" Keira muttered, snatching up her clutch and getting ready to leave. "You'll regret this Bloom, trust me, you will!" She stood up to leave. As Kira passed their table she "accidentally" bumped into it, causing Orlando's tall, full glass to spill over into his lap. "Oh, I'm sorry!" With that being said, she marched out of the restaurant, vowing never to speak to him again.

Orlando's dark brown eyes looked up at the hotel's plain ceiling. He did regret saying those things. Actually, he regretted that whole night. Orlando closed his eyes and started to nod off into an unpleasant sleep...



>Rupert looked down at Keira's sparkling face. He was the luckiest man alive. There was nothing more he loved than spending time with his amazing girlfriend. As she leaned in closer to whisper something sweet in his ear, Rupert thought he saw someone he knew. It was Orlando Bloom. Why was he staring at Keira, especially like that?
Is that bloke still jealous?
Rupert pulled Keira closer to him, deleting any space between the two. He tilted his head and invited Keira into a long much-wanted kiss. Her tongue parted his lips and delved into his might. As he did the same, Rupert silently laughed at Orlando.
She's mine now buddy


>Once Keira was out of the restaurant and Orlando's sight, she tried to hail a cab. What she thought was going to be an enjoyable night turned out to be everything but. Keira had always thought they would be together forever; she thought he loved her like she loved him. But i guess you can never really tell these days.

As a bright yellow taxi stopped at the curb in front of her, Keira remembered she needed to do one more thing. She yanked off the gold, heart-shaped locket Orlando had gotten her two years ago as a birthday present. It landed in the snow next to her and Keira crushed it with her heel, breaking off the top. The glass cracked, liberating the pictures of her and Orlando.

"How do you bloody like that Orlando?" she whispered as she stepped into the cab. As of now, she officially hated him.

[Lola]

[designerdenimx3]

Thanks for the comments! I'm still a little skeptical about the other points of view thing, but i think i might keep it. What do you guys think?

Chapter Two

A gloomy, gray overcast was covering the entire Los Angels area. Thunder rumbled in the distant; rain was lightly sprinkling on the deserted streets. While Orlando looked out from the giant bay window in his suite, he immediately knew that it was going to be a long, tiring day. Not only did he have a cast meeting in an hour, he also had three separate interviews and was appearing on the tonight show with Keira to promote Pirates 3. Although the thing that Orlando was least looking forward to was crossing paths with Rupert. Even before Orlando had found out that he and Keira were dating, the two men had never gotten along. Rupert had always managed to somehow pick a small fight or start a huge debate with him, and it was starting to get on Orlando's last nerve.

Pulling a pair of jeans a plain, white t-shirt out of his suitcase, a nervous, yet excited flutter filled his stomach. Orlando honestly couldn't wait until talk-show time. Knowing that for at least 10 minutes he would be able to be with Keira with out any interruptions, apart from Jay, was what would make his day worthwhile. He was incredibly thankful that Keira had decided against the idea of holding the obvious grudge that his other girlfriends did when he broke up with them. While there friendship would never be as strong, the two were still able to banter and tease each other like the always had.

As Orlando slid into his Diesel jeans, he decided that he would try his absolute best to put up with Rupert. It was a hard task, but it would make his whole day run much smoother. It would be difficult, but the reward at the end of the day would make him manage. He stepped into the "kitchen area" and poured himself a glass of orange juice. He was too jittery to eat. Orlando checked his cell phone. It was 8:37. The meeting started at nine. He dropped his glass and rushed out the door. On the way to the elevator, he passed a mirror and stopped. He decided to pull his messy head of brown curls back. Keira always loved it when he did that.

"What the hell? Why not make Keira want me today!" he whispered to himself as he dashed over to the elevator.

~*~

"Rupert! I've got to go, stop it!" Keira giggled as he pulled her onto the bed he was laying in and wrapped his strong arms around her toned stomach. His lips trailed down the side of her cheek and onto her neck in a gingerly, almost caution fashion. He tenderly kissed her a few times, hinting that he wanted more and he wanted her to stay there with him. But she playfully pushed hi away and got up.

"Keir, are you sure i can't come?" he wondered, watching her look for her missing cell phone and purse. Her head was always up in the air; misplacing things was her specialty.

"As much as i wish you could, Gore said it was strictly for the cast only. Damn it! Where are they?"

“You’re holding your phone and the bag’s in front of you!” Rupert chuckled, pointing to the dresser her Coach purse sat in front of. “Now are you sure I can’t come?”

“My word, I’m such a ditz! No! You can’t come, now stop asking!” Keira told him strictly, in a frustrated voice.

"Fine!" he groaned. "See you later, love you!"

"Bye!" Keira rushed out of their suite and clicked the door shut. She needed to hurry to the elevator or risk being late. When it came to Gore, there were no excesses for tardiness.

~*~

Orlando politely knocked on the burgundy red door in Beverly Hills. Their cast meeting had been changed to Jerry's house at the last minute, due to scheduling conflicts. He stepped back and waited a few moments before someone came to answer the door. It was still a rainy and dreary day, but it wasn't as bad as before. Most of the thunderclouds had cleared up, but there was still a depressing overcast.
I wonder it Rupert's going to be here
Orlando pulled out his new, black Razor. It was 8:57 and he was right on time. The giant, heavy door opened. Keira was surprisingly on the other side.

"Keira?" he asked, confused that is wasn't Jerry or his wife who greeted him.

"Hey Orli." She said kindly and nonchalantly, inviting him in.

"Why are you answering the door? That's a little random." He told her, coming into the mansion.

"Oh, right. Jerry made me come and get you. So what's up?" she replied, as if it were no big deal.

“Of course. Um, so I saw you at Hyde last night" Orlando commented, changing the subject.

"Really?! I had no idea that you were there! Why didn't you say hi?" she wondered curiously, leading the way to Jerry's office.

"I would have, but i didn't want to interrupt the little show that you and Rupert were putting on for everyone."

“Oh, that!” Keira laughed lightly as she turned a deep shade of scarlet. “Thanks, but I wouldn’t have minded. Rupert probably would have been pissed, but I wouldn’t have cared.”

“Glad to here” Orlando grinned happily. His day was already getting better.

“Ya… So, here we are!” Keria said, stopping in front of the office door. “Prepare to be bored to tears! Johnny somehow got a hold of Gore and Jerry’s agenda and said it wasn’t pretty. We’re working horribly long hours and are staying in L.A. for at least the next three months.”

“Wonderful! It’s just what I need, a second Hell!” Orlando laughed in a sarcastic way. He meant what he said about his life being compared to Hell, but Keira didn’t need to know about that.

“A second Hell? Orlando, what are you talking about?” she asked in a kind, concerned manor. It was the kind of tone that your mom used when you scraped your leg or when your friends asked what was wrong because you haven’t talked to them for ages.

“Oh, nothing! I was just being… sarcastic! Never mind.” He replied quickly, not thinking Keira would have taken that seriously.

“Oh, sorry” Keira replied quietly, embarrassed that she hadn’t caught on. “Uh, come on, let’s go.”

Later that night …

It had been an extremely rough day for Orlando, but it was all about to pay off. The interview was in about five minutes, and he couldn’t wait. Keira was still in make-up, but Orlando was finished. He and (unfortunately) Rupert were outside the make-up room, waiting for Keira to finish up. The two were leaning against the wall; neither was interested in talking. Although, Rupert surprisingly spoke up and told Orlando something he didn’t want to hear.

“I saw you staring at Keira last night when we were at Hyde Orlando, and I just have two words for you: Back off!” he commanded, standing up straighter and turning to face him.

“Excuse me?” Orlando asked shocked by his directedness, since when was Rupert the boss of him?

“Stay away from Keira!” She’s mine now, so go find yourself a new girlfriend or boyfriend or whatever and get over her. To tell you the truth, Keira doesn’t like you that much anymore.”

“That’s not true and you can’t tell me what to do!” Orlando practically shouted. Anger was bubbling up inside of him and if the show didn’t start soon, he was going to explode.
Rupert’s attention no longer focused on Orlando, but was turned to the door that had just opened. Keira had just finished make-up and looked fresh-faced and wonderful. “Hey babe, you look great!”

“Thanks!” she smiled brightly, but then turned to face Orlando. “Hey Or!”

“Hi” he said in an irritated voice. Rolling his eyes at the two of them, he turned away.

“Have fun tonight.” Rupert wished to Keira, jumping in before Orlando could say anything else and giving her a sweet kiss. “Bye!”

Once they were finished, Orlando immediately linked arms with Keira. Jay had just announced their names. Right before he stepped onstage, he sent a smirk to Rupert. Oh ya, this was a great reward!

~*~

“Now Keira, you and Orlando used to date, right” Jay asked, turning slightly in his chair to face the two guests.

“Yes” she answered, nodding he head a few times.

“So what’s it like kissing and ex?” he inquired curiously, totally disregarding the fact that Keira hated these questions.

“Ya Keira, what is it like?” Orlando teased. He loved this question, especially since Rupert was standing just off stage.

“Shutup!” Keira gently pushed Orlando’s shoulder. “Um, i-it’s awkward, but it’s a bit nice. Actually, I’m lying. It’s really nice, always has been. Orlando is a wonderful kisser.”

“As is she” Orlando responded. He might have had a nice grin on the outside, but on the inside, he was jumping for joy.
Take that Rupert!

“I can only imagine” Jay laughed. “Thank-you both so much for stopping by! Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley everyone! Goodnight!”

Orlando and Keira both exited the stage together. Rupert was just off set, waiting for Keira to finish. He instantly grabbed Keira’s had and they made their way to the back exit, hoping to avoid Keira’s adoring fans. Once he opened the door, Rupert slightly turned around, hoping Orlando would think he honestly didn’t care. “See ya Oscar!”

“Rupert!” Keira slapped the side of his arm while giving him a disappointed frown. “Bye Orlando! See you Thursday.”




>KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

“Keira, would you mind getting that?” Jerry asked kindly.

“Yes, but I’ll do it anyway” she smiled, getting up from the comfortable, black, leather couch. “Be right back.”

Keira hurried down the long, spiral staircase to answer the door. Jerry’s house was absolutely gorgeous. It had marble flooring and huge crystal chandeliers. There was a carriage house out back and a massive pool. It is what anyone would consider a dream house. She finally arrived in front of the burgundy door and pulled it open. Orlando was on the other side.

"Keira?" he asked, confused that is wasn't Jerry or his wife who greeted him.

"Hey Orli." She said kindly and nonchalantly, inviting him in.
Damn does he look hott today! Does he have to wear his hair like that?

"Why are you answering the door? That's a little random." He told her, coming into the mansion.

I wonder if went for Rupert because he looks mistakenly like Orlando? It’s a bit of a coincidence. It’s almost as if im dating twins.
"Oh, right. Jerry made me come and get you. So what's up?" she replied, as if it were no big deal...




> "So what’s it like kissing and ex?” he inquired curiously, totally disregarding the fact that Keira hated these questions.

“Ya Keira, what is it like?” Orlando teased. He loved this question, especially since Rupert was standing just off stage.

“Shutup!” Keira gently pushed Orlando’s shoulder. “Um, i-it’s awkward, but it’s a bit nice. Actually, I’m lying. It’s really nice, always has been. Orlando is a wonderful kisser.”

Rupert was standing just off of the Tonight Show’s set. Everything had been going well until Jay asked this question. It was the one that he dreaded and hated the most, especially when it was focused on Orlando. Keira always said that he was great, but did she really mean it? Was Orlando a better kisser than him?
Does she like kissing Orlando better than me?
As Jay stated that the interview was over, Rupert decided that he was going to keep Keira away from Orlando and Orlando away from Keria. He didn’t know how he was going to do it, but it was definitely going to be done. Besides from speaking to each other while filming their parts, Rupert was going to make sure that their paths wouldn’t cross.

[venus567]

Rupert is too jealous! great update! Funny that he is getting all paranoid that she prefers kissing Orlando. Well I'm sure any of us will agree, Orlando and Keira have plenty of great chemistry! ;D

Chapter Three

“I hate early morning shoots!” Keira yawned, wishing she could fall asleep in her make-up chair. “The sun’s not even out! Who gets up at this ungodly hour?”

“Keir, calm down. You can go back to bed when we get back to the hotel.
Rupert said in a monotonous tone. He was used to Keira’s antics on how she loathed getting up before eleven.

“Why? That’s pointless! Besides, I’ve got some plans afterwards. I’m meeting some people.” Her voice became softer and softer as she explained her afternoon to Rupert.

"‘Some people’ meaning Orlando Bloom?” Rupert retorted, almost angrily.

“No!” Keira bit her lip, knowing that wasn’t the truth. “Actually, yes. But, well, I mean, kinda. Some of the cast is going out for a late lunch and it just so happened that Orlando and I were both invited. It’s just a way to catch up with everyone.”

“Great excuse!” Rupert replied sarcastically.

“It’s true!” Keira insisted. “Ask Johnny or Jack and they’ll tell you all about it. But never mind that. Why do you have something against Orlando?”

“I don’t have anything against Orlando!” Rupert shot back defensively.

“Oh please! Don’t give me that crap! Just last Tuesday after Jay Leno you purposely went ‘See ya Oscar!’ I’m pretty sure you know his name! You just said it!”

“Ok, so maybe I don’t like him but-”

“Why? Why don’t you like him? What did he ever do to you?” Keira questioned grumpily.

Rupert quietly mumbled something under his breath. His eyes darted downward and stared at his hands. He obviously didn’t want to answer the question, which made Keira even more frustrated. “Would you mind speaking up?” she snapped.

“He dated you” Rupert whispered. It was barley audible, but Keira understood him perfectly. She gently bit her bottom lip, knowing how much he hated that Orlando used to be with her. Even if they had broken up, it irritated Rupert that they were still close and they were still friends, He brought this fact up a myriad number of times and Keira always ended up feeling sorry for him. Today, however, she didn’t feel like being sympathetic.

“I’m not with him anymore, I’m with you. Build a bridge and get over it.”

“Whoa! You are in such a bad mood Ms. Keira!” Rupert observed, brushing off her snippy comment as if it were no big deal.

“Ya, I am! And if you keep talking, you’ll just make it worse, so I would highly advise that you go away and leave me alone.”

"Whatever!" Rupert rolled his eyes and got up to leave. "Call you later." Keira nodded her head a few times in agreement. Once he left she grabbed her iPod and sank lower into the makeup chair.

"Finally"

~*~
Orlando pulled out his chair from underneath the restaurant’s table. He was going to be meeting Johnny, Jack, and Keira for lunch, and Orlando couldn't wait. It had been such a long day of filming, so catching up with everyone would be great. There had been so many extras running around that Orlando had surprisingly gotten lost in the crowd. He pulled out his Razar and checked it for messages. Johnny and Jack soon came around the corner and sat down next to and across from Orlando. He snapped his phone shut and greeted his two cast mates. "Hey guys!"

"Hey Orlando!"

“Hi Or!”

Orlando slightly lifted his head and smiled at them. He appreciated their greeting, but he had wished that Keria would be the first to arrive. He didn’t know why he had gotten his hopes up though. She has a notorious reputation for being late to everything.

“So, what’s up?” Jack started, trying to make conversation.

“Um, nothing much. Just really tired from filming and stuff, ya know, the usual. Isn’t Keira coming? Did she say anything about not showing up?” He asked, hoping it would come off as nonchalant and casual, not creepy and obsessed.

“She should be. But why would that matter to you?” Jack wondered curiously.

“Dunno, just asking. It’s not that impor-”

“Hey guys!” A small, kind voice greeted the three boys. It was Keira’s “Sorry I’m a bit late. When I was back at the hotel, Ru-”

“It’s not ok!” Everyone turned and stared at Johnny. He was leaning back in his chair, tipping it a little. He pose was carefree, but his tone and expression was serious. Keira took half a step back, giving him a quizzical. She was contemplating whether or not he was joking, or if he really meant it. “Guys! I was just kidding. Chill out!” Johnny reassured them, upset that nobody had laughed at his joke.

Shaking away the thoughts, Keira sat down across from Orlando. “Um, so, as I was saying. Rupert literally would not let me leave. He kept asking the most mindless questions. It’s like he didn’t want me to come and hang out with you guys.” She concluded, looking around at the genuinely concerned faces.

“You’re still dating that jerk?” Johnny inquired. He turned to face Keira, wanting to see her reaction. He always had a ball listening to her arguments on how Rupert was a good person and actually cared about her.

“Don’t you dare start lecturing me on how Rupert doesn’t treat me right! I’ve heard enough times before and it’ll just add to my bad mood!”

“But he doesn’t treat you right” Jack tired to convince, but there was no such luck.

“Seriously Keir, Rupert is such a jerk and a mighty big ass hole if you ask me!” Orlando jumped back into the conversation, hoping to take part in as much Rupert bashing that he could.

“I second that!” Jack added, raising his hand a little, showing that he agreed.

“If you-”

“Hey Orlando, do you mind keeping the language PG?” Johnny laughed, cutting off Keira.

“This coming from the man who-” Orlando started, but was then interrupted by an angry Keira.

“If you want to see an ass hole Orlando, then just go look-” Keria stopped and hesitated. She was just about to mention the night when he dumped her, but she didn’t. Fighting with Orlando would only make her bad day worse. Keira hadn’t stopped being mad at him for what he did. “Never mind. Forget I said anything. Let’s talk about something else. So, uh, Johnny how’s Vanessa?” It was the first thing that came to mind.

“She’s doing well. I think that she might come and visit in month or so”
“Oh really?” Keira exclaimed. “That’s great!”

The conversation changed to something completely off topic. Everyone was having a wonderful time joking and catching up with each other. It was all going smoothly; there hadn’t been any more mentions of Rupert, which Keira was thankful for. But right in the middle of a heated debate with Jack, her phone post-poned it.

“What’s that noise?” Orlando asked, looking around, trying to pin-point the sound.

Keira let out a frustrated sigh when she opened her cell. “It’s Rupert. He called- again! It’s the fifth time too! Not only that, but he’s also sent me seven texts! I’ll admit, sometimes he can be a bit border-line clingy.”

“ ‘Border-line clingy’? Try possessive Keira!” Orlando said, reverting back to the Rupert criticizing.

Keira looked up and locked eyes with him. She sent Orlando an icy glare. “Shut-up! I’ve heard that enough times, thanks to you!” Her voice was the same as her stare, cold and commanding.

“How could you miss five calls?” Jack queried, confused that she hadn’t heard her phone ring.

“I don’t know. Look, I’ll be right back.” Keira hurried off to a separate room. She had to call Rupert to see what he wanted her for so badly. Arriving in a quiet, secluded place, she dialed his number.

“Hello?” Rupert answered in his usual bored, and blasé voice.

“What the hell is so important that you have to call me five times and also text me endlessly?” Keira yelled into the phone, wanting to slap him, but she resisted the burning temptation.

“Oh, right. About that,” He was busted, and Keira was furious. “Well, I just… wanted to hear your voice. I miss you.”

“If you missed me that badly and just had to see me, you can just go watch Pirates or Domino. I told you I would be gone for a while.”

“Ya, but-”

“No! Rupert this has got to stop!”

Meanwhile…

“Orlando, this is going to be pretty direct, but do you still have even the tiniest amount of feelings for Keira?” Jack asked, straying completely off topic.

Orlando’s cheeks turned a bright shade of cherry red. “Uh, um, why do you ask?”

“Well for one this mate, you literally won’t stop looking at her and every time she speaks you smile. Plus, you’re always trying to talk to her every chance you get. It’s pretty obvious that you like her.”

“Ok, why would I still like-like a girl when I was the one who broke up with her? It’s possible to just be platonic friends!”

“Yes, I know! But something tells me that you’re lying through you teeth!” Johnny considered the thoughts for a moment, and spoke again. “Ya, I definitely think your lying.”

“Well I’m not! Let’s talk about something else; I don’t want to continue on this subject!”

“Fine. So…” Johnny said, at a loss for conversation topics. The three boys sat in silence together. Jack started whistling and admiring the beautiful fall evening while Orlando and Johnny messed around with their cell phones. About five minutes later Keira appeared. She didn’t act like herself though. Her arms were crossed across her chest and her pace was unhurried and dawdling. Her eyes looked downward. When she reached the outdoor table, se spoke in nothing more than a whisper.

“Uh guys, I’m gonna go now. I’ll see ya tomorrow.

“Keira, are you ok?” Orlando asked, his voice full of concern.

“I perfectly ok! I just need some time to myself for a while. She never once looked up at him. Keira grabbed her purse and slowly started to walk away.

“Keir, are you positive you’re alright?” Orlando asked once more. He wasn’t giving up. He didn’t understand how this bubbly, outgoing girl could go from exultant and jovial to upset and saddened in just seven minutes. What was wrong with her?

Keira whipped her head around and stared at him for what seemed like forever. When she did speak however, she words slowly started eating away at Orlando. “I already told you, I’m absolutely fine! Just peachy! How many times are you going to ask?” She snapped, and then marched off of the restaurant’s outdoor area and without uttering a single word. Who knew that that one sentence was powerful enough to turn Orlando and Keira’s world chaotic hell?
