Chapter 5- Feelin’ Good
Three days later, Johnny sat at the beach, updating his notebook.
It now looked like this:
Johnny: 1 month Jack: 1 ½ months Naomie: 2 weeks & 1 day Lee: 2 months Mackenzie: 3 weeks Gore: 4 days Kevin: 1 week Concierge: 7 months Jerry: 12 days Vanessa (via cell phone): 4 months Geoffrey: 2 weeks Tourist: 24 days Sonia Bloom (via cell phone): 16 days Shar Knightley (via cell phone): 3 months Elijah (via cell phone): 18 days Dom (via cell phone): 6 months Billy (via cell phone): 5 days
Johnny looked up and smiled. The two subjects of his bet were splashing around together in the surf. If possible, they had grown even closer during the last three days.
Johnny was beginning to wonder if they could hold out for another month, so his bet would be accurate. He smiled wider. The bet they didn’t know existed. In truth, he was just aching for them to get together.
Each person had put five dollars in the “When Will Keira and Orlando Hook Up?” pool, so the pool was now up to $85. Of course, if the concierge or the tourist won, he had no way of contacting them, and so he would keep the money for himself. Hello, pirate! He thought to himself. He chuckled. Damn, I’m funny!
“Laughing at yourself again, Johnny?” Jack asked, plopping on the sand next to him.
Johnny giggled. “Yeah. Do you realize how funny I am?”
Jack stared at him blankly. “You’re not funny.”
“Yes, I am,” Johnny pouted.
“Are not,” argued Jack.
“Am too!”
“Are not!”
“Am too!”
“What are you guys arguing about now?” Johnny and Jack turned to see Orlando standing before them, with Keira on his back. She had asked the question.
“I will answer your question with another question,” Johnny shot back. “How come you get a piggy back ride and I don’t?”
Orlando laughed. “Keira’s light. You’re not.”
“I am not fat!” Johnny exclaimed, outraged.
“Says you,” Jack muttered, earning himself a glare from Johnny.
“You didn’t answer my question,” Keira stated calmly, her eyes flashing.
“Right!” said Johnny. “...What was you’re question again?”
Jack snorted, earning himself another glare from Johnny.
“What were you two laughing about?” Keira demanded.
“How Johnny thinks he’s funny when, in reality, he’s not,” Jack explained.
“But I am funny!” Johnny persisted.
“When you’re given funny lines, you’re funny,” Orlando said.
“Other than that, you’re only funny when you’re not trying to be funny,” Keira finished.
“Told you,” Jack told Johnny.
“You know what you guys are?” Johnny yelled. “You’re just... just... JEALOUS!”
“Keep telling yourself that,” Jack said, rolling his eyes.
“Y’know what? I will!” With that, Johnny stormed off.
Orlando turned to Keira. “You know how to surf?” She shook her head. “Wanna learn?”
“You gonna teach me?” she shot back.
He shrugged. “If you’re up to it.”
“Oh, I’m up to it alright!” she said, running off in the direction of the surf shack.
“Hey, slow down, Knightley!” Orlando called after her, jogging in the same direction.
In response, she turned and stuck her tongue out at him.
Jack sighed. Why did he have such a sinking feeling that this was one bet he wasn’t going to win? ------------------------------------------------
surprises in the next chapter!! i dont know if i can update tomorrow though, because im going to the Cincinnati Zoo with my cousins! yay!i love zoos!

ok, so heres todays update. hehe
Chapter 6- My Happy Ending
Keira bit her lip. Today was the last full day they had left in the Caribbean. Tomorrow they headed back, going their separate ways. And she still hadn’t told Orlando Bloom that she loved him. She was going to do it tonight, she decided. But how?
Suddenly, it hit her. She got out a pen and a piece of paper and started scribbling furiously.
Ten minutes later, she was done. She looked it over. It wasn’t perfect, but it would do.
She picked up the phone and dialed.
After three rings, he picked up. “Hola! Español or Inglés?”
“I don’t have time for jokes, Johnny.” Keira moaned into the phone. “Do you know how to play guitar?”
......................*......................
“In short, thanks for being awesome!” Gore finished, winding down his speech that he had been reciting for the last half hour. “I’m gonna miss you all.”
“Even me?” Johnny called from his table on the far side of the room.
Gore laughed. “Don’t push it, Depp. Now, does anyone else have anything they would like to say?”
Keira looked around before raising her hand. “I do, Gore.”
“Alright then, Keira. Come on down!” he said, doing a bad expression of the guy on The Price Is Right. Not Bob Barker. The announcer dude.
Keira nodded to Johnny and Jack. They both got up and joined her at the stage.
“Umm... hi,” she began nervously. “Well, the past five years have been the best years of my life. I love each and every one of you.”
“One more than the rest,” Johnny muttered, earning himself a slap on the back of the head from Jack.
“I wanted to sing this song I wrote for a very special person in my life,” Keira continued. She took a deep breath, scared out of her kind at what she was about to do. “So here I go.”
At that moment, Jack began playing on the piano, carefully hitting his notes just like they had rehearsed all day. A few seconds later, Johnny joined in own his guitar, being careful not to mess up Keira’s special song.
Keira leaned into the microphone and began to sing.
You saw me crying Asked what was wrong Inside i was dying But not for long You made everything better In my heart you left an imprint And here’s a letter To you I never sent
You should know you should know Everything I have to say I don’t know how you always go And take my breath away Someday I will tell you how I feel And that day is today Here you go now you know What I’ve always wanted to say Here’s my letter I’m never sending I want you to be my happy ending
Made up my mind now All I can see is you And I don’t know how You do the things you do Always seem to amaze me Always seem to get better Somehow you always see Now here’s my unsent letter
You should know you should know Everything I have to say I don’t know how you always go And take my breath away Someday I will tell you how I feel And that day is today Here you go now you know What I’ve always wanted to say Here’s my letter I’m never sending I want you to be my happy ending
I’ve always felt these things inside Now there is nowhere to hide I need you like the grass needs rain I’m really not sure if I’m sane I want you more than I should I’d marry you right now if I could If you feel the same way, tell me do Tell me you love me like I love you Yeah, yeah
You should know you should know Everything I have to say I don’t know how you always go And take my breath away Someday I will tell you how I feel And that day is today Here you go now you know What I’ve always wanted to say Here’s my letter I’m never sending I want you to be my happy ending
Happy ending Happy ending
Will you be my happy ending? Do you get the message I’m sending? I love you Orlando, this song’s for you I love you ------------------------------------------------------- Author's Note: okay, so i'm not sure that Keira can sing, or that Johnny can play guitar, or that Jack can play piano. But in my world, they can. And this story is part of my world. Also, I wrote the song that Keira sings. It's called "My Happy Ending" hence the name of the chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it!!!
oh- and thanks to Kelli, who helped in the important decision of Keira's song. love ya! Harry Potter tomorrow! YAY!!!

okeydoke. this is possibly my favorite chapter. after you read it you'll think that i'm weird with it being my favorite, but yet, i love it.
Chapter 7- Just Missed The Train
Keira looked up. The room was filled with gasps and “aww”s.
She caught Orlando’s eye. He just stared out her, and his face was one of shock.
He doesn’t feel the same way, Keira thought sadly as her eyes filled with tears.
She got up and fled the stage. She made a beeline for the door, thrusting it open. She ran up the stairs to her room, tears now free falling down her face.
She threw her clothes into her suitcase, not bothering to fold them. She went over to her nightstand. The tears came harder as she looked at the two photographs there. One of them was of her and Orlando in L.A. on her nineteenth birthday. The second was of them on the beach nearly four days ago.
She put them both in her pocket, picked up her suitcase, and left the room, attempting to forget all the memories that were tormenting her very soul.
......................*......................
Orlando saw that Keira’s door was slightly ajar, so he went in.
“Keira?” he called softly. There was no answer.
He sighed. Glancing around the room, he was surprised to see a note on the nightstand. Recognizing Keira’s neat handwriting, he eagerly read it.
Orlando, Don’t be sorry. I understand. I’m heading back tonight. Don’t come to say goodbye. Believe me, it’s easier this way. I don’t think we should ever see each other again. I blew any chance of friendship now. I’m so sorry. ----Keira[/b]
He unconsciously crumpled it in his hand. He knew what he had to do.
......................*......................
Keira was getting ready to board her plane when she heard her name.
She jerked around, fearing it was Orlando. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw it was Johnny.
“Going home, love?” he asked, his voice gentle.
She nodded. “I can’t stay here, Johnny,” she whispered. “Not after what happened...” She trailed off, her voice coated with tears.
“I know, I know,” Johnny said soothingly, patting her back while she sobbed into his shoulder.
“It just hurts!” she wailed. “I still love him so much!”
Johnny held her at an arm’s length. “Be brave, love,” he said. She nodded. “Now, I’m not asking you to stay, but maybe you should hear Orlando out. Listen to what he has to say.”
She shook her head. “I know what he’ll say, Johnny.”
“But do you?” Johnny persisted.
Keira paused. “Goodbye, Johnny. I’ve got a plane to catch.” And with that, she was gone.
Johnny watched out the window as her plane flew off.
Seconds later, Orlando skidded to a halt beside him.
“Johnny!” he gasped. “Is she...”
“Gone,” Johnny answered.
Orlando sank into an empty chair, his head in his hands. Why had he let her get away?
So sleep, darlin’ Why don’t you pretend we were just a dream? It’s cool, baby It doesn’t matter anyway I’m so sorry You got to the station a little too late Such a shame You just missed the train -------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Note: the lyrics are from "Just Missed The Train" by the amazing Kelly Clarkson. i loved the song, and so I included it in the chapter and named the chapter after it. again, this is possibly my favorite chapter. thanks for being such wonderfully awesome readers!!!
