I thought Harry Potter was great! Except, it seemed rushed, and there were tons of stuff missing from the book! I think they could have added another half hour or so since it was only 2 hours 18 minutes. Other than that, I enjoyed it What about everyone else?

harry potter was amazing, as always, lol. Kelli and I saw it together, and it was the funniest movie. ever. lol
here's today's update. still kinda sad.
Chapter 8- Too Much To Ask
Keira rubbed her eyes. She had been on the plane all night, catching bits of sleep here and there. She had been home for six hours, and all she had done was mope.
She collapsed onto her bed and turned up her stereo, concentrating on the song.
It was “Too Much To Ask” from Avril Lavigne’s first album. She smiled for the first time in twelve hours. She remembered going out and buying the CD when she was sixteen, amazed that someone her own age could write such amazing lyrics that understood her perfectly. This song definitely fit her right now.
Can’t find where I am Lying here alone in fear Afraid of the dark No one to claim alone in fear
Can’t you see that you lie to yourself? You can’t see the world through a mirror It won’t be too late when the smoke clears Because I I am still here
Every time I try to make you smile You’re always feeling sorry for yourself Every time I try to make you laugh You can’t you’re too tough You think you’re loveless It was too much that I asked him for
Keira sighed. It was too much that she had asked him for.
She gazed absentmindedly out the window. Rain was falling fast. Now fresh tears were also falling down her face, tears she couldn’t seem to control. Or maybe she didn’t want to control them.
She reached over and turned off the stereo.
The doorbell rang. Keira sighed again. She went to the door, thinking it was her mother, making sure she had made it home safely.
She stopped at the door and wiped her away her tears. She didn’t want whoever it was to know that she had been crying.
She threw open the door and received the shock of her life. Orlando Bloom was standing, sopping wet, in her doorway. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
i know it's a cliffhanger. oh well. hopefully an update tomorrow.
Like I mentioned in the story, the song is "Too Much To Ask" by Avril Lavigne. I absolutely love her, as well as Kelly Clarkson. Look for more Avril and Kelly in upcoming chapters! lol

mmkay heres todays update. sorry it was a cliffy, but i had to ;D
Chapter 9- Things I’ll Never Say
“What are you doing here?” she managed to choke out.
“Something I should have done a long time ago,” he explained.
“Orlando,” she started, but he cut her off.
“Please, Keira, just hear me out.” She nodded weakly.
“Keira, I’m so sorry,” he began, studying her intently. “I’m sorry for making you cry. I’m sorry for hurting you. That’s the last thing in the world that I wanted.”
He paused and licked his lips. She stared back at him, daring him to speak again. He did.
“The thing I want most in the world, Keir. That’s a tough question for most people. But I know exactly what I want. What I want is to be able to say these things right now that I’m afraid will be left unsaid forever if I don’t.” He took a deep breath. “I want... to watch chick flicks with you. I want to do what you wanna do. I want to give you the window seat on an airplane, even when you don’t ask for it. I want to dance to every song in the world with you. I wanna hold you when you cry. I want you to be proud of me. I want you to trust me. I want you to love me. Because I love you, Keira Christina Knightley. Always have. Always will.”
She just stood there, letting his words sink in. He loved her! And she loved him; she knew she did.
“Keira?” he asked tentatively, bringing her back down to Earth.
She walked over to him, put her hand on the back of his neck, and brought his face down to meet hers. Then she kissed him, right there in the rain, in the middle of London.
She ran her hands through his thick curls. His hands went down lower and lower until they rested on her rear. He pulled her closer, deepening the kiss. A groan escaped her throat.
Finally, they broke apart.
“Wanna come inside?” she asked mischievously.
He nodded. The realization that she was finally his left him speechless.
She grabbed him by the hand and pulled him into her house. She led the way to her bedroom.
She kissed him gently on the lips. “I love you.”
“I love you,” he replied, taking in her appearance: her wet hair, her soaked clothes that clung to her body. She had never looked so beautiful to him before. “Now what, exactly, are we going to do, Miss Knightley?” he asked playfully.
“Things,” she said, turning to shut the door behind her. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author's Note: In case you didn't notice, the things Orlando tells Keira he wants to do is what she said Rupert didn't do, why she broke up with him. That might clarify things for you if you didn't realize that. lol. Anyways, I'm not going to be able to update until next Thursday or Friday. I know, I'm sorry. I'm going to Washington DC on vacation and will be back Thursday night. Then I'll update ASAP I promise! Thanks for being awesome readers!!!
Yet Another Author's Note: The title is a song by Avril Lavigne.

im back from DC and here's an update!!! yay!!! [im in an exclaimation point modd today!!! so much feeling!!! so little time!!!]
Chapter 10- Heaven
The doorbell rang. Keira emerged, giggling, from her room. She went to the door, flung it open, and said, “’Ello! Beautiful mornin’, huh?”
Johnny Depp and Naomie Harris shared a look.
“Those aren’t your clothes,” Johnny said, motioning to Keira’s too big boxer shorts and oversized T-shirt. He groaned. “Lover boy isn’t here, is he?”
Keira laughed. “If you mean Orlando, then yes, he is.” She gestured to her outfit. “These are his. He flew in yesterday,” she gushed.
“So I take it you got together yesterday!” Naomie exclaimed.
Keira nodded.
Naomie grinned evilly at Johnny. Grumbling, he pulled out a wad of cash and handed it to her.
“What the bloody hell was that all about?” Keira asked, looking amused.
Johnny sighed. “That, my dear, was me losing a bet.”
“Oh!” said Keira, clearly realizing something. “Where are my manners? Come in, come in!”
She ushered them into her house. “Please, sit down!” she said, gesturing to a comfy looking couch and closing the door behind them.
“Keir?” Orlando called.
“Yeah?” she yelled back.
“Who was at the door?”
“Johnny and Naomie!” she hollered back.
He opened the bedroom door and poked his head out. “Er... hello...” he said awkwardly. “Just lemme get dressed and I’ll be right out.”
He pulled his head back in and shut the door.
Keira giggled. “So what, exactly, were you guys betting on?”
Johnny looked down at his feet and muttered something indistinctive.
“Sorry, didn’t catch that!” Keira said brightly.
Johnny sighed and looked up. “We were betting on when you and young Mr. Bloom would wake up and realize that you two were made for each other. To be more specific, when you two would ‘hook up’.” He did air quotes around “hook up.”
Keira’s jaw dropped. “You did what?!”
“Now, Keir,” Johnny said hurriedly. “It was just a couple of close friends and family.”
“How many?” Keira snarled.
Johnny cringed. “Erm... at last count I believe it was... seventeen?”
Keira looked like she was going to explode when she suddenly burst into laughter. “Oh my God, Johnny!” she exclaimed. “I so had you going there!” she gasped between laughs. “I honestly couldn’t care less. I’m in love. Nothing else matters.”
Johnny grinned with relief. “I guess that’s the kind of acting that got you nominated for an Oscar!”
She giggled. “I guess you could say that.”
Just then, Orlando reemerged, looking refreshed. “What did I miss?” he asked.
“Well, apparently Johnny had a little bet going with... well, everyone, basically, on when we’d get together,” Keira said brightly. “But other than that? Nothing.”
“Johnny did what?!” Orlando exclaimed.
The phone rang, and Keira dove to answer it. “Hullo?”
“Miss Knightley?” a nervous voice said on the other end.
“Yes, this is she,” Keira answered automatically.
“This is Pamela, your press representative.”
“Pamela, right, hi!” Keira said, wishing Pamela would just get to the point.
“Umm... well,” Pamela began nervously. “Apparently US Weekly has acquired a picture that they claim is of you and your close friend Mr. Bloom... for lack of a better phrase... ‘making out’ on your front porch. I have seen the pictures, and either paparazzi are getting really good with PhotoShop, or they’re genuine.” She paused to take a breath. “So... do you want me to confirm or deny a romance?”
“What do you think, Pamela?” Keira asked, sounding snappier than she had intended.
“Oh, duh!” said Pamela, and Keira had the feeling that she had just smacked herself on the forehead. “No comment, of course, so sorry----”
“NO!” Keira practically shouted into the phone. “Confirm them! The whole world needs to know that I am madly in love with Orlando Jonathan Blanchard Bloom!”
“Okay, thank you for your time, Miss Knightley,” Pamela muttered.
“Bubye,” Keira added sweetly as she hung up.
She looked up to see three pairs of curious eyes staring at her. She grinned. “This time tomorrow,” she said, “the whole world will know that we are in love!”
She went over to Orlando and kissed him deeply. Johnny mimed throwing up, being a seven-year-old trapped in a forty-three-year-old’s body, but Keira ignored him. She had never been happier.
......................*......................
“ ‘Pirates In Love’ ”
Keira looked up, her eyebrows raised. “Catchy title, don’t ya think?”
Orlando grinned. “Continue!”
She obliged.
“ ‘Keira Knightley, 22, and Orlando Bloom, 30, were spotted getting cozy on Miss Knightley’s front porch in downtown London on Thursday (see photograph). Reps for both stars have confirmed a romance. Bloom split from long-time girlfriend Kate Bosworth last January, while Knightley and her beau of two years, Rupert Friend, recently parted ways. Is this romance a split-second rebound or a lasting love? Only time will tell. For all we know, we maybe have a British Brangelina on our hands!’ ”
Keira looked up as she finished the article. “Aww!” she exclaimed. “British Brangelina! I like it!”
Orlando kissed the top of her head. “I think I like it too,” he decided.
“We’ll show them we’re more than just a fling!” Keira continued. “Especially when we get married and have six beautiful children!”
Orlando raised his eyebrows. “Six?”
Keira nodded. “Mmm hmm. Three boys and three girls.”
He laughed. "I don’t think it works like that, love.”
Keira giggled. “We’ll see about that!” ---------------------------------------------------
