I'm With You ~PG-13~
I’m with you
Chapter 1-
1 year ago.
It was December 14th,2001 when I met him. He was just so cute that I just couldn’t take my eyes off of him. His name was Orlando Bloom. He was 5’11 with cute dark brown hair and brown eyes. My name is Nikki. I was 14 when I met this man named Orlando. And god,I’m glad I did.
It was a very cold December morning in New York. One of my friends had called up Carson Daly and he had hooked us up with a gig on TRL. None us knew that the cast of the Lord of the Rings was going to be there. My friends and I were just lucky because we were going to be on TV. We were a small band called the “Wannabees(don’t ask how we got the name.).” We were going to play two songs called “Why should I care?” and “Sway.” I would be up there singing my butt off and dancing. Oh god was I scared.
By 12:30 our drummer Beth was yelling at us to get on the bus so we could get ready for the show. God were we scared(still). Me the most. But I knew that everything was going to be ok.
We stopped for lunch around 1:00. But we had to hurry because the show was going to start in an hour. And when your in a big city like New York,time really does fly(if you know what I mean.).
“You excited?”Beth asked me.
“I’m more like a nervous wreak. You’re lucky you’re the drummer.”
“Why’s that?”
“Because people don’t pay attention to you as much.”
“Girl,if you ever say that again I’m going to hurt you.”
“No I mean it. I know being the drummer is a big deal,but you aren’t up there jumping and dancing,and trying not to look like a fool.”
“Usually I sweat like a fool though. It sucks just to miss a note.”
“Yeah. I know what you mean.”
“Everything is going to be fine girl! Don’t worry about it.”
“That’s what I’m afraid of.”
“You think some big celebrity is going to be there?”
“Maybe some cute guy.”
“Girl,you’re only 14 years old. Most of the guys on this show are over 18.”
“Yeah I know. That’s what sucks.”
“Well,good luck today. We need to get back on the bus.”
“Thanks. You too.”
She winked and walked off.
That’s what I liked about Beth. She was nice and confident. Plus she was older than me and had more experince when it came to guys. But before I got on the bus I noticed that this guy was looking at me from the window. But I didn’t have time to say “hi” because I had to leave.
When I got on the bus I didn’t say anything. I was still thinking about that guy who was looking at me through the window.
“Yo! Nicole! Earth to Nicole!”yelled Beth in my ear. “What’s up? We’re almost there and all you’ve been doing is looking out the window.”
“Oh I’m sorry. I was thinking about something.”
“About what?”
“You want me to tell you?”
“Does it have to do with a guy?”
“How did you know?”
“Because that’s what you do when you see a cute guy.”
I sighed. “Oh right. I forgot.”
“So,what happened?”
“I just saw this cute guy through the window. Actually,I think it was more like he saw me. But I didn’t say anything though.”
“Why not?”
“Because we had to leave. Do you think I want us to be late?”
“No I guess not.”
“He was so cute though. I probably won’t see him again though.”
“Every boy you have ever met walked out on you.”
“That’s because of the band. But I can’t let us down.”
“But what if you do see this guy again?”
“Sheesh I dunno. Whatever happens,happens I guess.”
She shook her head. “You really are a mess.”
I smiled. “Yeah. So are you.”
We got to the studio a little bit after two. They were already starting to let people in,but we had to hurry and get the equipment ready. Man was I nervous. I was supposed to be playing on the guitar for our first song. The second song I would be dancing my butt off.
“Well,that’s about it,”said Beth. “You’re going to do just fine kid.”
“Didn’t I tell you not to call me that?”
“Ha ha. Sorry. Sometimes I just can’t help myself. You’ve been in this band since you were 11. You’ve grown up so much since then.”
“Thanks,but I think I’ll be fine.”
“Oh now you’re taking my advice.”
“No but there is something I have to tell you.”
“What?”
“Remember I told you about that cute guy?”
“Only about three times so far.”
“Very funny. Well,I think I know who he is.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Remember that group of people that walked past us?”
“Yep.”
“Well,I think that guy in the pink shirt was the one that looked at me through the window.”
“Are you sure?”
“Positive.”
“Girl,don’t try anything. He just looks to old for you.”
“Not if you’re the lead singer in a band.”
“Quit playing games. I’m being serious.”
“So was I.”
“Well,don’t try anything until you’re certain he’s the one.”
“Oh that’s helpful.”
“Trust me. It’ll help when the time comes. We had better hurry up.”
“Why? We don’t play until about 3:00. Girl,chill out.”
“You know how time flies.”
“Fine. I’ll be in the back. Yell at me 5 minutes before we go on.”
“You sure?”
“If we have a little over half an hour till crunch time.”
“Fine. Have fun.”
“Thanks.”
As I made my way into the back I saw that guy again. But we didn’t really say “hi” at first. We kind of bumped into each other.
“Oh. Sorry about that,”he said. “Hope I didn’t push you to hard there.”
“Oh no. It’s quite alright.”
“I’m Orlando,”he said as put his hand out.
“I’m Nikki,”I said as I put my hand out and shook his gently.
“You know.I think I remember you.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.I thought I saw you through some window this morning.”
“So that was you. I was wondering about that.”
“Well,at last,we have finally met. So,you playing in the band?”
“More like singing.”
“God that must be fun.”
“Not when you’re singing and dancing in front of a big audience.”
“But you should be used to that by now.”
“I’m only 14 so I guess so.”
“14?! Wow. I thought you were much older.”
“That’s what everyone says. I’ve been in the band since I was 11.”
“Why so young?”
“I had to get away from my family.”
“I see. Well,I need to go. Goodluck.” He patted me on the leg and left.
“Thanks. You too.”
I was so scared. I had just met this incredible guy that I had never met before,and now I was supposed to sing in less than 15 minutes.
“Hey,let’s go,”Beth said through the door.
“I said not to get me until 5 minutes till show time,”I said as we hurried through the hall.
“There’s been a change of plans. We’ll be going on in 5 minutes.”
“Oh great.”
“What?”
“I’ll tell you later. It’s not important right now.”
“Ok.”
“Thanks for getting me.”
“No problem girl.”

Re: I'm With You ~PG-13~
Chapter 2
Instead of doing “Why do I care first,” we had to do “Sway” instead. Which was good for me because then I could get the dancing out of the way. But I was just so nervous. Sweat was pouring down my face. I drank as much water as I could,but even that didn’t help.
“Hey,you forgot this,”Orlando said as he gave me my hat.
“Thanks. How did you know it was mine?”
“It has your name in it.”
“Well,thanks again.”
“Good luck again.” And he left me again.
Once I got on stage I had finally confronted my fears. I just had to remember being on stage when I was a little girl singing in the choir. I knew this was something totally different,but I had fun.
When the song was over I went back to the back room to get the sweat off my face that was still coming down. I was so happy that I didn’t have to dance anymore.
“Hey,good job,”Orlando said when I got back in the room.
“Oh hey. Thanks.”
“You still have one more to go. Are you nervous?”
“Not anymore. Thank god.”
“That’s good. You look like you’re having fun.”
He laughed. “I’m try too. I’m having more fun with you.”
“Thanks.”
“No problem. Well,I have to go out there in about 5 minutes so I had better go. See you in a while.”
“Alright.”
“Bye.”
“Bye,”I whispered as he left the room.
“Man he is cute,”Beth said as she entered the room.
“Were you spying on us?”
“No. Just making sure nothing happened.”
“Well,nothing happened. We just talked.”
“About what?”
“Nothing really. He just said that he liked our performance.”
“Ok,you said our. You should say “my”.”
“Well,I’m not leaving you guys out of anything and you know that.”
“Thanks. Well,don’t be in here too long. We’ve got about 15 minutes.”
“I’ll walk out with you. I have nothing do to.”
“That’s fine.”
When we got backstage we found out that we only had about 10 minutes to get ready for our last song. Luckily nothing was lost. My guitar was still on the right side of the stage were I had put it.
“You ready?”she asked.
I nodded,sweat was still coming down my face.
“Hey I thought you were going to wash that stuff off.”
“I did. I guess I didn’t get my whole face.”
“I guess not.”
“I’m sorry I made such a big deal out of it. You still nervous?”
“Yeah I guess so.”
“Well,you can handle a guitar better than any of us here,so I think you’ll be ok.”
I scoffed. “Yeah right. I’ve only been playing this thing since I was 6.”
“But that’s why you’re so good at it.”
“Hopefully I won’t screw up on stage.”
“Oh c’mon. You did fine the last time. You’ll do fine this time.”
“Thanks. We’d better get ready.”
“Oh wait a minute! I never said you were calling the shots this time.”
I laughed. “Too bad. I just did.”
The 2nd song was so much better than the first. And that was only because I didn’t have to dance and try to make sure I didn’t fall on my butt. I just hoped that Orlando would be waiting for me when I was done.
When the song was finished I went back to the back room, and guess what? Orlando was there waiting for me just as I had hoped.
“She’s even better the 2nd time,”he said as I entered the room.
“Why thank you.”
“No problem. You were really great out there.”
“I’m glad you think so.”
“Hey,would you like to hang out with me tonight?”
“You mean like go out on a date?”
“Whatever you call it.”
I smiled. “Sure why not.”
“Good. We’re having the premiere of the Lord of the Rings tonight and I wanted to see if you would like to go.”
“I’d love to.”
“Then I’ll see you tonight at 6:00 then.”
“Alright then.” He kissed me on the cheek then left.
“You have a date tonight?”Beth asked when she walked into the room.
“I wouldn’t call it a date.”
“He asked you to the movies! Ok,now that is what I call I date.”
I smiled,but said nothing.
“Well,it’s about 4:30. We had better hurry up and find you a dress.”
“You mean you’re going along with it?”
“I just want to see what happens.”
“You are too strange.”
“So are you.”
“Thanks for the compliment. I could write about that.”
“Well,let’s not waste anymore time or cute boy is going to get mad.”
“His name is Orlando,just to let you know.”
She laughed. “Yes I know. But I think cute boy is more appropriate right now.”
“Oh very funny!”
“I know.”
“Wait till I tell him about you said,”I said when we got on the bus.
“You wouldn’t dare!”
“I just might.”
“Do it and I’ll kill you.”
I gave her my ‘yeah right’ look just to shut her up.
“Did you get any details on him?”
“He’s 23 and he’s 5’11.”
“Damn he’s tall!”
“He was born on January 13th,1977. His dad died when he was only 4. His got an older sister named Samantha. And he just graduated out of acting school before he was casts in Lord of the Rings.”
“He lives a busy life I guess.”
“Don’t we all?”
“You excited about tonight?”
“I’m more nervous. You know I hate wearing formal stuff.”
“I know. But this is the chance of a life time.”
“Then I’m getting a knee-high dress.”
“That’s fine if you want to freeze.”
“Girl,I’ll be fine. I’m going to be wearing a heavy coat.”
“Then that’s more like it.”
“You have got to stop worrying about me.”
“I can’t.”
“Why?”
“Because ever since I found you out on the street you’re the only thing I can think about. You’re like my child or something. And now you’re almost 15 years old. Now you’re meeting guys and this Orlando guy might be the one. I’m just scared for your safety.”
“I’ll be fine I promise.”
“I hope so. And you had better not leave this band for what it’s worth.”
I laughed. “Orlando and I won’t last long.”
“Let’s hope not.”
“Are you saying that just because he’s older than me or just because you don’t want me leaving the band.”
“Both. Girl,I’m 18. I haven’t had a date since the 7th grade before I left to form this band. Now no goes out with me.
“Why not?”
“Because I’m the drummer of a band no one really knows about. We’re lucky we even have this bus and stuff.”
“I know what you mean. But don’t let being single get your hopes down. I know you’ll find someone. You have your whole life.”
“Thanks.”
“No problem. Don’t forget,I’ve been through that stuff too.”
“Yeah I know. About a million times.”
“Well,it looks like we’re here.”

Re: I'm With You ~PG-13~
Chapter 3
It didn’t take us a long time to find a dress. The dress we found was a beautiful navy blue knee-high dress and a nice fur coat to go along with it. It was so beautiful I couldn’t believe it was me wearing that dress.
“Man do you look pretty,”she said.
“Yeah,and I’m still a nervous wreak.”
“No you aren’t,”she looked at her watch. “Well,it’s 5 till 6. He’ll be here any minute.”
“Are you sure I look ok?”
“Girl,stop it! You look fine!”
“Alright alright. I’ll stop.”
“Just look out the window and everything will be ok.”
“Then I won’t stop looking out the window.”
“Don’t make this harder on me than it already is!”
“Ok ok.I’m sorry I’m sorry. I’ll stop.”
“Good,”but our conversation was interuppted by a knock at the door. It was Orlando.
“Well,I guess It’s time.”
“Now have fun. Everything is going to be alright.”
I smiled. “Thanks for everything.”
“Oh it’s no problem. It’s the least I do.”
“You mean it’s the most you could do.”
“Ha ha. Now go. He’s going to freeze out there!”
“Oh right!” I hurried downstairs and opened the front door and there he was. Orlando Bloom,looking cute like the first time I saw him. Nothing had changed(maybe except his shirt but that was besides the point.).
“God you look beautiful.”
“Thank you.”
“You ready?”
“Any time you are.”
He then took my hand and led me into the limousine. It was so cool to ride in a limosine and ride down downtown New York. It was just so beautiful. With all the lights and everything. I was just breathless.
“I think you’ll like this movie. It’s going to be great,”he said.
“Well if you’re in it I know it’ll be!”
“Hey now! I’m not the only person in this movie now!”
“Yes I know that. But you’re the cute one(oh god! Did I say that out loud?!).”
“Really?”
“Ummm…I guess so.”
“Well,I’m glad you think so then.”
“No problem.”
You are going to have no idea how long that movie was. 3 HOURS! 3 hours long! It was probably shorter than Titanic,but it was still 3 HOURS!!! But I thought it was a great movie. Orlando played Legolas of the Mirkwood elves. He was mostly the eyes and ears of the fellowship because he knew pretty much everything. Which I thought was pretty cool. I loved the way he looked when Boromir died. Yes,it was a sad moment,but the way Legolas looked,man…It didn’t even look like Orlando in that costume if you know what I mean.
“So,you want to go somewhere?”he asked when we got back into the limousine.
“Do you want to go somewhere?”
“Not really.”
“Then you can take me home.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. It’s quite alright.”
“That’s fine with me then.”
He walked me to the door when we got back to the apartment,then he stopped and looked at me. “I’m sorry to say this,but I’m leaving tomorrow morning.”
“Will you come back?”
“I don’t know. It might be a while.”
I sighed. “I thought so.”
“But I’ll try to come back when I can.”
“I might not be here though.”
“I have your cell phone number,don’t forget.”
I smiled. “Yes I know.” I wanted to cry. I thought this guy would be the one. The one that would actually care about me. But I guess I was wrong. I should have listening to Beth. I was such a fool.
“You ok?”he asked.
“Yes I’m fine.”
He then bent over and our lips met. I almost shook him off but I couldn’t. He was just so gentle and kind. I just loved him too much.
“Will you keep in touch with me?”I asked him before he left.
He looked at me,frowned,and shook his head. “I’m sorry. I can’t.”

Re: I'm With You ~PG-13~
Chapter 4
1 Year Later
The band had finally split apart. Beth and I were drifting apart and we needed to find our own thing. It’s been more than a year and a half since I left the band. I’ve been traveling a lot. I had just came back from Japan to Los Angeles and I still had nothing to do.
I had mostly forgotten about Orlando because we hadn’t stayed in touch for a while. All I knew was that he probably didn’t remember me.
Los Angeles was so much different than New York. Ever since the band had split up I wanted to become one of gangs just to hide my grief. But it was too hard. Even though I was 15 I was still reminded of how I was called ‘kid’ in the band. And that was because I was the youngest. But I now I was 16. I had no family but I was still in good shape. I still had money on me so I wasn’t poor. The only thing was that I missed was having a band. But I had to do things my way. I knew everything was going to be ok.
On December 15th,2002 I walking through the street when I saw someone that looked familiar. It can’t be Orlando,I thought. This guy has a beard and looks much taller than Orlando. It can’t be him.
“Nikki? Is that you?”said a voice behind me.
“Orlando? Oh my gosh it is you!”
I couldn’t believe. I hadn’t seen him in a year and he looked so different, but he managed to remember me. I didn’t want to cry but I was just so happy to see him again.
“Nice to see you too,”he said as he hugged me and smiled.
“I thought I’d never see you again,”I said as I starting to cry.
“Let’s go sit somewhere. I want to hear stuff that’s been happening with you. He walked me over to the park and we sat on the bench. I told me that I quit the band and that I lived for about a year in Tokyo,Japan and that I had just gotten back to the U.S.
“But why Los Angeles?”he asked.
“I can’t go back to New York. I don’t have the money.”
“I see.”
“Why are you here?”
He said that he was going to see the premiere of the 2nd Lord of the Rings movie(he finally told me that there were actually three. The third one would be out sometime next year.).
“Will you come with me?”he asked. “I mean, I really have missed you and I wouldn’t want you to miss this.”
“Only if you don’t leave me this time.”
We looked into each other eyes,then our lips met. “I’m sorry about last time. I really am. I want to tell you something,”he said after our lips parted.
“Yes?”
“I really do love you.”
“I love you too.”
He then put his chin on my head and started playing with my hair. “God I missed you.”
“You have no idea how much I missed you.”
“Oh I think I do.”
“Really?”
“Like by only a lot!”
“Yep!”
“Well,at least I came back!”
I sighed and smiled. “Yes. At least you did.”
I couldn’t believe what I was saying. Shouldn’t I be mad at him because he never phoned or wrote to me? No. I know how things are. Orlando’s just been really busy lately that’s all. And I don’t blame him either. I wish I could be busy too. But now that the band is gone I have no place to go.
“Would you like to come back with me?”he asked.
“Sure. That would be nice.” I was about to tell him that I had no place to go anyways,but I kept my mouth shut.
The hotel he was staying in was very nice. Maybe I was a little jealous,but I didn’t say anything. I didn’t want to hurt him. Maybe it was because I was just too nice when it came to guys.
“How long are you staying here?”I asked.
“Only for a couple of days,”he said. “But can I ask you something?”
“Yes?”
“Will you come with me this time?”
I shook my head and smiled. “I thought you would never ask.”
“Thank you.”
“Your welcome.”
He walked over to me and put his hands over mine. “You have no idea how happy this makes me.”
I smiled. “Oh I think I do.”
“Really? How much?”
“But like only a lot.”
“Yup!”
“Then I would be honored to go with you.”
“Good. Do you want to do something before tonight?”
“Yes I would actually.”
“What?”
“Shopping for clothes.”
“Then I’ll go with you. Is that ok?”
“That would be fine with me.”
“Good. It’ll give us a chance to catch up a little bit.”
I had so much fun that afternoon. I needed to forget about what happened a year ago. That was all in the past. This was now. Orlando was back and he actually told me that he loved me. And that’s all I care about.
We found a lovely dress at the mall. It was a purple knee-high dress and a nice leather jacket. I was so happy that I was going to be going out with him again.
“Wow. Don’t you look beautiful. Almost makes me think that it’s actually a different girl.”
“You think so?”
“I know so.”
“Then I’ll take your word on that.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re very much welcome.”
“Do you want to do something else?”
“No. I’m fine really. I don’t want you to get exhausted.”
“I should say the same to you.”
“Very funny.”
“No I mean it. You’re the one wearing those dreadful shoes.”
“They’re that bad?!”
“No,I just wouldn’t want to wear them.”
“Yeah I know. But I’ll be fine. They won’t kill me.”
“That’s good. I was getting worried there for a second.”
“Seriously? I would think that a man of your age wouldn’t worry so much about a girl like me.”
“Only on some occasions.”
“Like tonight?”
“No. Maybe for the rest of your life.”
Ok. Did he just say ‘for the rest of my life?’,I thought. That means he really does love me! “Do you really mean that?”
“Yes. I do now.”
“Then I believe you(that’s only because you didn’t walk out on me this time!).”
“I’m glad you do.”
“Can I ask you something?”
“What?”
“Why did you walk out on me the first time?”
“Because I thought it would never happen. I was just to busy with my career. I thought after my friend stole my last girlfriend I would never love anyone ever again.”
“Then I found you and I thought differently. But I thought I would never see you again. Then this happened…”
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t’ve asked.”
“No. I’m glad you did. At least then I could get something out of my head.”
“But you had my cell phone number. Why did you never call me?”
“Because I thought you would reject me.”
“Orlando,I would never do that. You’re too sweet.”
“That’s what everybody says.”
“Then I believe it. I might be younger,but I’ve been through that stuff more than you think. About 6 guys have rejected me just because of my age.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Then I’m sorry.”
“No. It’s ok.”
“No really I am.”
“Thank you.”
“I’m only saying that because I love you.”
“I love you too.”
I thought that The Two Towers was so much better than the Fellowship of the Ring. It was funnier too. I thought Orlando did another great job as Legolas. He did have a very funny line though.
“Well,do you want to do something?”he asked before we got back to the hotel.
“No. I’m really tired.”
“Yeah so am I.”
“Thank you.”
“For what?”
“For telling me that you love me. That really does mean a lot to me.”
“Means a lot to me too.”
“I’m glad.”
“So am I. Oh I got something for you. I wanted to wait till tonight just because I thought it would be special.” He took out a small black box from his pocket and opened it. It was a gold ring!
“Oh my god!”
“Will you marry me?”
“Oh my god. Are you serious?”
“Yes.”
“Then I will.”
“I know it’s kind of weird. But I really do love you.”
“I really love you too.”
“Then I think you’ll make a great wife.”
“You’ll make a great husband.”
I couldn’t believe that Orlando actually wanted me to marry him. We had barely seen each other for a year and now this thing had happened. But at least
I was going to be happy with Orlando. Well,maybe now I was going to be more than just happy.

Re: I'm With You ~PG-13~
Chapter 5
I couldn’t go to sleep that night. I was just too happy and too excited. But what if Beth knew,I thought. What would she do? But it’s like I care anymore. Orlando and I are getting married and the band is gone. Who am I kidding? Everyone is going to know about this. But what am I going to stay? Oh I’m sorry I’m not old enough to marry Orlando but he asked me and that’s it. No. I can’t do that. I’m not that mean.
Orlando and I were going to be getting married sometime in July 2003. But before we could get married,he had to leave me again. He was shooting another movie called Pirates of the Caribbean(if you have never gone to Disneyworld or Disneyland you had better soon!)that would be out July 9th.
“This time I promise to keep in touch with you,”he said.
“Well,you have to this time!”
“Yes I know,”he said as he smiled at me.
“How long will you be gone?”
“Sweetheart,I don’t know. Maybe a month,but I promise I will call you every chance I get alright?”
I sighed and nodded.
He smiled and hugged me. “Don’t forget that I love you.
“I love you too.”
“Don’t cry. Don’t forget about this either,”he said touched my hand and looked at my ring.
I smiled and nodded. “Yes.”
“Well,I guess this is goodbye for a short period of time.
I swallowed hard and nodded. I tried to hold back the tears, but it was just so hard. The man I loved so much was leaving me again and probably wouldn’t be back for a month.
He then bent over and our lips met. I wanted to try to shake him off me again. I was just so mad,but yet,I didn’t want to be mean. He did tell me that he would actually keep in touch with me this time.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
“Bye.”
“Bye.” I watched as he walked down the stairs,got into the limousine,and left me.
As I walked back into the hotel I felt a sudden shock of guilt inside me. What if Orlando never does phone me,I thought. What if he forgets about me like he did last time? No. He promised that he would keep in touch with me. He’s just so so sweet so I don’t see how he couldn’t keep his promise to me. Especially after he asked me to marry him. I love him too much. And I won’t let this marriage fail. I can’t. Too many men have rejected me in my lifetime and this has to be the one man for me.
That afternoon after I went swimming I noticed that one of the rooms was burning. It was my room!
When I got upstairs the smoke was getting worse. But I had to get my stuff. But I as hard as tried I just couldn’t. But I couldn’t get out of the room. It was either jump or die in the room,and I was not going to die now. I couldn’t for what it was worth. So I jumped.
That night I found myself in a hospital bed with Orlando by my side.
“Where am I?”I said as I tried to get up.
“Hey! Don’t get up yet!”
“Orlando? What are you doing here?”
“I heard what happened so I had to come and see you.”
“I couldn’t make it to the door.” I wanted to start crying.
“Yeah I know. But at least you’re alive.”
“Yes.”
“Can you promise me something?”
“What?”
“I don’t care what happens to my stuff in a fire it’s all insured. I can get all that stuff back. But you aren’t. And I don’t want to loose you.”
I smiled. “I promise. How long are you going to stay here?”
“For a while I guess. Our set caught on fire.”
“Oh. I’m sorry.”
“I thought you would be happy.”
“I’m happy because you’re back,I’m just not happy it had to happen this way.”
“I know what you mean. How are you feeling?”
“My legs really hurt.”
“Anything else?”
“No. That’s about it.”
“Do you want me to get something?”
“No I’ll be fine. Thank you though.”
“Alright then.”
He then pulled himself closer to me and put his arms around my back and our lips met. At that moment I just felt all the pain in my legs and in my side disappear. I was just so happy he was with me.
“I promise not to leave your side,”he said after our lips parted.
“Seriously?”
“Really.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Even though I loved Orlando I hated to see him like this. He had promised to marry me two days before and I go and jump off the hotel like it wasn’t a big deal. Now it is. He was supposed to be filming for a movie and then the set goes on fire. I didn’t want him to
stay in the hospital with me. No. Not like this.It just wasn’t right. But I couldn’t do anything. He probably wouldn’t listen to me because he loves me too much.
“You don’t have to stay here,”I said.
“What?”he asked in surprise.
“Really. You don’t have to stay here. I can’t stand to see you like this.”
“And I can’t stand to see you like this. That’s why I’m staying.”
I just smiled but didn’t say anything. Well,that went well,I thought. He still doesn’t listen to me. “That’s fine then.”
“I love you and I want to spend as much time with you as possible before I have to go back and do the movie.”
Well,then if he loves me that then I don’t care,I thought. I guess it wouldn’t hurt then. “Alright.”
“I’m gonna start calling you Arwen.”
“Why?”
“Because you look like her.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Except without the pointy ears.”
“Oh please!”
“I just could see you and Liv Tyler as twin sisters.”
“Yeah right. We look nothing alike!”
“Not in my eyes.”
“Oh stop! You are so pitiful!”
“Am I that bad?!”
“Liv Tyler and I could not pass up as sisters for one thing.”
“Yeah but what about looking like Arwen?”
“I guess that would be kind of cool.”

Re: I'm With You ~PG-13~
Chapter 6
I was supposed to stay in the hospital for two weeks. Orlando was supposed to be back on the set in about two-four months. We were getting married sometime in June next year. When did I find out all this? When I was still in the hospital! Orlando would never
listen to me. As many times as I wanted him to go home,I just didn’t say anything. I guess this was his making up for being absent for so long. But it just didn’t seem right.
I still couldn’t stand to see him like this. But I guess it was because he really loved me,and I really did appreciate that. But I just felt like he was doing too much. Or maybe it’s just because he doesn’t want to be alone,I thought. We are getting married soon too.
“Hey. How are you doing?”he asked as he walked into the room with a big smile on his face. He came over and we embraced.
“I’m fine thank you very much.”
“One more week.”
“Wow I can’t believe you’ve been actually been keeping track. I feel like I’ve been here for more than a year!”
“I know what you mean.”
“Orlando,I need to tell you something?
“Yes?”
“I don’t think anything in the hotel room actually started the fire.”
“What do you mean?”
“I feel like ‘someone’ started the fire.”
“Did you see anyone up there?”
“No. But I just get this feeling…”
“But you can’t get into the hotel room without that certain key.”
“Yes I know.”
He sighed and smiled. “I don’t think you’re lying or that you’re crazy. I’ll have the people at the hotel inspect the room as soon as possible.”
“Thank you.”
“It’s the least I could do.”
“I’m glad that you care so much.”
“Why wouldn’t I?”
I just shrugged. I was just too happy to say anything.
“You are just so beautiful.”
“You’re so cute.”
“Not as cute as you.”
“Oh now don’t say that.”
“Well,as long as I have you I’m going to say that.”
“You’re just too damn nice.”
“I can’t help it!”
“Neither can I.”
“Very funny.”
“What?!”
He shook his head and smiled. “It’s nothing.” He bent over and we embraced again.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. I’m just so happy that I’m with you.”
“So am I.”
The days were starting to get shorter,and it would be almost one more week until I was supposed to get out of here. But Orlando would be leaving soon after. But then it made me wonder if he really did love me.
“You ok?”Orlando asked.
“Yeah. I’m fine.”
“Good. I’m really sorry that I’m going to be leaving you soon.”
Well,at least he did say he was sorry,I thought. “It’s ok. I’ll get over it.”
“I promise I’ll actually contact you as much as I can this time.”
“I hope so.”
“I will.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
“Can I ask you something?”
“Yes.”
“When will you come back?”
“I still don’t know to be honest.”
“Oh.”
“But don’t forget what I said.”
“I know. I won’t.”
“I can ask someone if you can come down once I get there. But that might be a while.”
“I can understand.”
“Really?”
“I am trying.”
He moved his head over and our lips met. I think for a minute or so he wanted to tell me that everything was going to be ok once he left. But I knew that it wasn’t going to be the same once he left me.
“Are you happy?”he asked.
“About what?”
“That you’re getting out in a week?”
“I guess. But it won’t be the same without you.”
“Yes I know.”
“In a way I wish you wouldn’t have to go,but I know how important this is to you. And I don’t want to hold you back.”
“Thank you.”
“It’s the least I could do. The very least.”
“No. That meant a lot to me.”
I laughed. “Thanks. I thought it wouldn’t make any sense.”
“Really? I thought it did.”
“But I guess I can be no more than happy for you.”
“I’ll think of you every day.”
“I promise to think of you every day.”
“Then that makes me happy.”
“I’ll try my best.”
“No. You can do so much more.”
“I know. But you’ll be the only person I’ll be able to think about. Especially because of this.” I showed him the ring.
“Yeah. I guess you would be right about that.”
“Even though it’s only just a memory.”
“Don’t think of it as that.”
“I’ll try not to. It’s just so hard.”
“I know how that feels.”
“I guess I know what you’re trying to say. It’s just so hard…”
“But you’ll remember me right?”
I nodded. “Yes.”
“Then it will be more than just a memory.”
“I’ll remember that.”
“Good.”
He then got up and kissed my cheek,and started heading out the door, but I stopped him. “Where are you going?”
He then walked over to me. He sighed. “I’m going home.”
Great,I thought. He’s finally going to listen to me.
“If you can remember that ring is more than a memory then I’ll go home.”
“Will you come back?”
“I will tomorrow morning.”
I smiled. “Alright. Don’t hurry.”
“I’ll call you sometime around 8:00 so you know I’m coming.”
“Make it nine. I need some rest.”
He smiled. “That’s fine. I love you.”
“I love you too.”
I watched as he walked out of the room and closed the door. Orlando,why hadn’t you listened to me earlier,I thought. Was there something you forgot to tell me or something? But it just didn’t make any sense. What was he trying to get through to me?
For some reason I just couldn’t figure it out. I knew he loved me,but it was just so hard to understand. But I’m a musician and he’s an actor. Those two just don’t go together. Well,in some way,I guess they could. I just I knew what Orlando wanted from me.
That next morning I got up around 8:30 and found Orlando by my side. He told me that he actually came to the hospital around 2:00 in the morning while I was sleeping because he was so lonely.

Re: I'm With You ~PG-13~
Chapter 6 Part II
“I guess I just couldn’t get you off my mind,”he said.
“I’m sorry I made you leave.”
“It wasn’t your fault. I left on my own.”
“But you didn’t have to leave if you didn’t want to.”
“I know. I just haven’t felt like this in a while.”
I sighed. “Yeah. I know. Just don’t ever do that again. You just look so tired.”
“I know. I am.”
“Then you really should get some sleep.”
“I can’t. I’m with you now.”
“Then I won’t make you leave. You just look so happy.”
“I am. And that’s only because I’m with you.”
“I wish I was better.”
“Me too.”
“Did they ever find out who did it?”
“No. Not yet.”
“Oh. I wish they would.”
“And you still didn’t see anyone in there?”
“No. I wasn’t paying any attention,like I said before.”
“Then it was probably just a spark or something. But I won’t stop you.”
“Thank you.”
From that moment on I knew something had changed about Orlando. I was starting to undertand that the ring was more than just a plain old memory. He wanted me to think positive things. Like the wedding and such. He didn’t want me to think that he would be leaving in about 6 days and how I would have to go through the pain and suffering of not having to see him(which I was going to dread.).
I really tried to look on the positive side of things,but I knew it was going to be hard with Orlando gone. I had been through this before,and I didn’t want to go through it again. No. Not this time. I would get on a plane and find out where he was if I had to. But I
knew I couldn’t do that. I didn’t want to ruin his life. Besides,he did say he would ask somebody if I could go down there and see him.
“I know it’s going to be hard,”he said. “But I know you can do it.”
“Orlando?”
“Yes?”
“I want to go back.”
“To where?”
“To Japan. For some reason I just get this feeling that there is where I belong.”
“Alright. I’ll see what I can do.”
“Thank you.”
“But can you do me something?”
“What?”
“Call me when you get there. How long are you staying?”
“I don’t know. Maybe until the day I die.”
“I get it now. Alright. But don’t forget about what I said. I can try to put you on a flight once you get out of here on Sunday.”
“But what about you?”
“Don’t worry about me. I’m leaving once you get on that plane.”
“Oh.”
“Are you sure you want to go?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll still call you.”
“I’ll call you too.”
“Then you won’t be alone.”
“I won’t be. I have more than just a memory of you.”
“You’re catching on.”
“I’ve been trying to. I won’t forget what you told me. And now I understand why you got here at 2:00 in the morning.”
“Why’s that?”
“Because you missed having someone by your side. I remember you told me that you haven’t felt like this in a long time.”
“Yes. But that’s not just because I love you. I care about you too.”
“I care about you too. That’s why I want you to get some sleep.”
“I wish I could.”
“Quit worrying about me. I’m going to be out in a couple of days.”
“But you know how hard it is.”
I sighed. “Yes I do.”
“You wish the band hadn’t broken up?”
“In some ways yes,and in some ways no.”
“In what by meaning ‘no’?”
“Because it left me with nothing. Beth got everything because she’s older than me.”
“That I can understand.”
“But I still had enough money to leave the country and come back.”
“Then she didn’t take everything.”
“Yes I know. But I guess I do miss her. But we were drifting apart so fast. And I felt like she wouldn’t leave me alone. I guess she thought since she was 18 that she thought she was my mother.”
“I guess I could understand that.”
I felt like I wanted to cry.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have brought it up.”
“No. It’s ok. I’m glad you did.”
“Really?”
“Yes. I really needed to get that off my chest.”
“Then I’m glad we did talk about it.”
“But that doesn’t change any thing.”
“I know.”
“I wish I could go back and see what I did wrong. I felt that I did everything wrong.”
“Why?”
“Because I met you.”
“Why would that change anything?”
“She hated it when I was with you. Spying on me all the time… She just thought that seeing you would mean the band would split up. And look what happened.”
“Yeah. But I left.”
“That didn’t mean anything to her. She thought I was seeing you in secret.”
“Ok now that is just weird.”
“I know. She wouldn’t listen to me at all. I don’t understand why she didn’t like you. I mean,because you are really sweet. But I guess it’s because…”
“Since what?”
“Well,she told me once that she had never had a date since she was in the 7th grade. And I guess being the drummer of a band had really brought her down because no one payed any attention to her. But I knew that wasn’t true. But I couldn’t do anything.”
“She still wouldn’t listen?”
“Exactly. I wish she had met you.”
“So did I.”
“But that didn’t happen and one thing led to another…”
“Yeah I know how that feels. But don’t worry about it. At least we have each other.”
Yes. That was right. We did have each other. But it was only going to be for a short period of time because he would be leaving me soon.

Re: I'm With You ~PG-13~
Chapter 7
I couldn’t believe it. He would be leaving me tomorrow. All the fun and talking we had…well,that was gone now. I knew that all he was going to leave behind for me was the ring,but I had to try to remember that it was just more than a memory. I just didn’t want to see him leave me. I wanted to do something,but I knew I couldn’t. I didn’t want to end back up here,and I didn’t want to see him like this. It was just to painful.
“Are you feeling better?”he asked.
“Much better. I would love to get out of here today.”
“Yeah I know what you mean. But you know I can’t do that.”
I laughed and smiled. “Yes I know that.” But my smile soon turned into a frown.
“Don’t do that.”
“I’m sorry. It’s just that…”
“I know. But remember what I said?”
“Yes.”
“Then you won’t be alone.”
“It’s just so hard…”
“It’s ok. I can understand that.”
“Thank you for staying with me.”
“I really enjoyed coming here.”
“I was almost thinking of doing something else,but I remembered about what happened,and I just couldn’t stand seeing you like this.”
“Good.”
“It really isn’t going to be the same.”
“Yeah I know. It’s not going to be the same without you.”
“Will you please…?”
“Yes you know I will.”
“Good. I wouldn’t want to miss that voice of yours.”
“You’re going to Japan.”
“What?”
“After you get out of here tomorrow,I’m taking you to the airport because you’re flying out to Japan and then I’m leaving.”
“Oh.”
“Well,isn’t that what you wanted?”
“Yes. I’m just so happy,yet confused.”
“I figured everything out before I came to see you a couple of days ago.”
“Did you do that the same day you came to see me at 2:00 in the morning?”
“Yes.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. I just want you to be happy.”
“I’m much more than happy.”
He smiled. “So am I.” He moved his head over and our lips met.
I couldn’t believe it. I was actually going to Japan again. The city that actually made me feel that I was apart of something.
“I have something else to tell you,”he said.
“Yes?”
“I will be back sooner that expected.”
“When?”
“2nd week of January.”
“But that is still a long way off.”
“Yes I know.”
“What about me coming to see you down there?”
“I don’t know. They haven’t decided yet.”
“Oh.”
“Don’t worry. I promise once I get down there I’ll get everything figured out.”
“Ok.”
“But don’t forget that I will always love you.”
“I love you too.”
“Then everything’ll be ok.”
Maybe for you,I thought. But not for me. What if something happens to me? What if someone tries to kill me with a gun or try to set the house on fire. What am I going to do? I wish people would stop with this violence and just chill out.
“Have they found out what started the fire?”I asked.
“Yes.”
“Well?”
“You were right.”
“Really?”
“Yes. They found a handprint on one of the walls.”
“Any suspects yet?”
“Not that I know of.”
“Oh.”
“But they will find out who did I promise.”
“I hope so.”
Well,it was time. It was 8:30 on a not so beautiful Sunday morning when I walked out of there. That room where I had spent so much time with Orlando. It seemed like my actually room. But I knew it wasn’t. Because I was now going to live in Japan.
We left for the airpoart around 9:00. I was so excited,yet sad. That was only because Orlando was leaving me. But I couldn’t do anything. I knew how important this was for him. There was no turning back now.
The airport was really crowded when we got there. But I didn’t seem to mind. All I cared about was Orlando. God I was going to miss him. His smile, and his laughter just seemed to light up my world. And now it wouldn’t. But I do have the ring,I thought. Which to me is going to be more than just a memory.
“God I’m going to miss you,”He said.
“I’m going to miss you too,”I said.
“Promise to call me once you get there?”
“I haven’t forgotten yet.”
“Good.”
He then bent over and our lips met. For this moment I was actually happy. I didn’t care if Orlando was going to leave me,even thought he was.
“Never forget about what I told you,”he said.
“I won’t. I promise.”
“I love you baby.”
“I love you too Orli.”
“That is the first time you’ve ever called me that.”
“I had to for the occasion.”
“Well,I guess this is goodbye then.”
“This isn’t goodbye forever.”
“Yes I know. And I’m glad it isn’t.”
“Me niether.”
“You promise that you’ll--?”
“Yes I will. I’ve told you like four times already.”
“Ok. Just want to make sure.”
“I hope you have fun.”
“You too.”
“I’ll try to. I love you.”
“I love you too.”
He bent his head over and our lips met. I didn’t want to do this because it would seem like our last kiss but I didn’t do anything.
“Well,I guess I’ll see you the second week of January then?”he asked.
I nodded but didn’t say anything. I was to overcome by grief.
“It’s going to be ok. I’l call you as much as I can.”
“I know.”
“You don’t want to miss your flight do you?”
No,I thought. I just don’t want to leave you. But I know what I have to do. This is the only way I’m going to be happy. “No.”
“Alright then.”
“Goodbye.”
I watched as he walked off and left me. I knew that I was going to be happy in Japan. I knew how different is was going to be than Los Angeles because I had already been
there before. I just hope that if I did find work there that Orlando would want to live with me there.
Before the plane left the runway I noticed that Orlando hadn’t actually the airport. He was actually staring out the window. I waved to him for a second but then I knew he wouldn’t be able to see me because we were so far away.
It was still night when the plane arrived in Japan. I was scared yet excited. I didn’t remember anything about this place so I was glad that they had some english-speaking people here.

Re: I'm With You ~PG-13~
Chapter 7 Part II
When I got my bag I had noticed that there was already a taxi waiting for me outside the airport to take me to the hotel. I shook my head and smiled. Orlando,you really shouldn’t have,I thought. And I mean that too.
When I got to the hotel room I called Orlando like I had promised.
“I’m glad you made it saftey,”he said.
“Me too. I was scared for the whole flight.”
“Well,at least you’re ok.”
“Yeah. Hey,I saw you.”
“Where?”
“Staring out the window at the airport.”
“Yeah. I do that sometimes.”
“I heard you used to do that quite often.”
“Don’t remind me.”
“It’s ok. I just couldn’t help it that time.”
He laughed and I could tell he was smiling. “I guess you do have a point.”
“Have you left yet?”
“No. My flight isn’t until tomorrow morning. But I knew how badly you wanted to get out of here.”
“Oh. Can I ask you something?”
“What?”
“Orlando,if I’m able to find work here would you--?”
“Live with you after we get married?”
“Yes.”
“You know I would.”
“Good. Because that has been on my mind for a couple of days.”
“I’m glad it has been. I was wondering when you were going to ask me.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“That settles it then.”
“Well,I had better get going. My flight leaves at 5:30 and I need some rest.”
I really wanted to talk with him longer,but I understood what he was saying. “Will you call me tomorrow?”
“I’ll try,but I can’t say I will.”
“I understand.”
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
Orlando turned off his phone first then I turned off mine. It was just so hard. So hard to say goodbye to someone I loved. But at least it wasn’t forever. He was going to come and see me once this was all over. I took a heavy breath and sighed. I couldn’t wait to get out of this room and see everything that I had missed over the past 6 months. But I had to wait until tomorrow morning.
The next morning when I got up I found a bouquet of roses and a card on my desk drawer. They were from Orlando!
Dear Love,
I’m really sorry I can’t be with you right now. Oh how I would love to be there with you but you know how important this is to me. I hope you are having fun up there. My boss
tells me that I get off work the day before Christmas. So I am happy to tell that we will be spending more time together. I hope to see you soon and I hope nothing bad happens to you. From your’s truly.
Love,
Orlando
P.S. Don’t forget about what I said!
I couldn’t believe it. He was actually going to be spending Christmas with me. And after worrying all this time,well,that was over. I was just so happy. He would actually be
here in less than three days. Which was bad enough for me because I still had Christmas shopping to do.
The only problem was that,well,what was I going to get him? I didn’t really remember any good shops in Japan because it had been nearly a year since I had been here.
And ever since I saw Orlando again,I had lost all memory of this place(which of course,was not good.).
But that wasn’t my only problem. With Christmas three days away the shops were really busy with the last-minute shoppers. I looked everywhere and couldn’t find one single thing that he liked. This is just impossible,I thought. Plus I’m running low on cash because I’ve barely been getting paid. Even though Orlando gave me some money before I left. But then I remembered that he said that he didn’t care what I got him,no matter how cheap the gift was. But I couldn’t do that,I thought. He’s worth more than just a cheap gift. But then I figured out what I could buy him. There was this little store on a corner by the hotel. I remembered that he liked Shakespeare. So I decided to get him some books. I knew it was kind of cheap,but I knew he would understand. He loved me and that’s what matter. He did say it’s the thought that counts.
The next morning I got up bright and early when the phone rang. It was Orlando.
“Good morning love,”he said.
“Hi.”
“Miss me?”
“You know it.”
“Well,don’t worry. I am coming soon.”
“I know. Tomorrow!”
“Yes that’s right.”
“I can’t wait.”
“Me neither.”
“What time are you going to get here?”
“Probably about 10:00 tomorrow. So get up early because I want to meet you at the airport!”
“I will.”
“Good. Well,I had better go.”
“Ok.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow at 10:00 then?”
“Yes.”
“I love you.”
“Love you too.”
I was about to hit the pillow again,but then I realized that there was a taxi outside waiting for me. So I left without a moments hesitation.
The rest of the day was alright. I didn’t find any place to work though. I was so excited about seeing Orlando that I forgot that was the reason I was here in the first
place. But it was the day before Christmas anyways so many of the job openings in town weren’t taking anyways.
I hoped that nothing had had happened to Orlando on the set. I knew he was tough but I didn’t want him to get hurt again. I felt like if he did then we would probably not walk again or die.
Then I thought of what happened to me and thought that it couldn’t happen to Orlando. He was too quick for his own good. And I was probably just one of those girls who didn’t understand because he had been through this stuff thousands of times. But it was like I cared.

Re: I'm With You ~PG-13~
Chapter 8
That next morning I got up around 8:30. I remember Orlando told me to meet him at the airport,and I hadn’t forgotten. So I just threw something on, found the taxi outside and told him to head for the airport.
The airport was really crowded when I got there. It was about about 9:45 when I got to the gate so I had some time to spare. I just so happy to see Orlando that I was starting to get impatient. But I knew that he would be here. Even though it was going to be 15 minutes.
When the plane arrived I just stood silently. Oh please be on there,I thought. Please be ok. And to my surprise,he was just fine.
“Well,hello!”he said as we embraced.
“I’ve missed you.”
“I’ve missed you too. I’m glad to see you again.”
“I’m glad to see you again. It hasn’t been the same I can tell you that.”
“It hasn’t been the same without you either.”
He then bent down and our lips met. I was guessing that this was going to be our Christmas kiss. Oh god was I happy to see him again.
“So,how have you been?”I asked as we started walking out the airport.
“I’ve been ok.”
“How was work?”
“It was ok. Very exciting.”
“That’s good.”
“Have you found a job yet?”
“Not yet. No one’s been hiring.”
“That’s what I thought.”
“Yeah.”
“But don’t worry about it. It’s still the holiday season and you aren’t even 16 yet. So don’t rush into things.”
“I got you something.”
“I got you something too.”
“But we have to go back to the hotel because I left it there.”
“That’s fine. That’s what I thought we were going to do.”
“Oh.”
“It’s ok. I bet you thought of that at the last minute.”
“Yeah. I kind of did.”
“It’s alright. Don’t worry about it.”
“I won’t.”
“So has it been busy here?”
“Very. Especially with the last minute shoppers.”
“I see what you mean.” I then looked down at his wrist. There was a big scar that I hadn’t seen before. “Can I ask you something?”
“It’s about the wrist isn’t it?”
“Yes.”
“I figured you were going to ask me sooner or later.”
“So,what happened?”
“A little sword fight went out of control. That’s all.”
“Oh. I’m sorry I asked.”
“No. I’m glad you did.”
“Thank you.”
“No,thank you. I didn’t think you would be so worried about it.”
“Well,I figured something was going to happen.”
“I know what you mean.”
“But at least it doesn’t look that bad.”
“No. It really didn’t hurt either.”
“How long did it take to heal?”
“Only about two days.”
“That’s not bad then.”
“Not. Not really.”
“Well,then I’m glad you’re ok.”
“I’m glad you’re ok. I thought something was going to happen to you while I was gone. I was praying every day that something wouldn’t happen to you. And I guess it helped.”
“I’m glad it did. I was praying for you.”
“Thank you.”
“It’s only because I love you.”
“I love you too.”
“So,when are you leaving if you don’t mind me asking?”
“No. It’s ok. I really don’t know yet.”
“Oh. Ok. That’s good.
It was about 11:00 when we got to the hotel. But we didn’t hesitate. We went straight up to the hotel room.
“Wow. You really did something to this room. It didn’t look like this when I ordered it,”he said.
“Well,I guess you can say I did some redecoration.”
“It’s very pretty.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
We then decided that we were going to do presents first. I was surprised that he liked the gifts that I got him.
“You know,this is great. I could really use this in my collection,”he said.
“Really?”
“Yeah. I haven’t got to many books,so this really helps.”
He then opened a small box. Inside was a necklace with a red jewel on it. Then I really felt bad that I had just gotten him the books.
“Good. It fits,”he said as finished putting the necklace on.
“It’s so beautiful.”
“Yes it is.”
“Thank you so much. I really feel sorry I got you something cheap.”
“Don’t worry about it. It’s the thought that counts remember?”
“Yeah.”
We then gazed into each other eyes and then our lips met. I was just so happy that he was here. Even though we had only been apart for three days,it had seemed like ages. I wanted to cry because I was so happy,but I knew I couldn’t. I had to show him that everything was ok.
“God you look so beautiful,”he said as we stared at the necklace in the mirror.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
“Can ask you something? And please don’t think I’m crazy or anything.”
“Alright. What is it?”
“Can you teach me how to sword fight?”
“Are you serious?”
“Ever since we went to see The Two Towers I have been.”
“Wow. I don’t know. I haven’t really taught anyone to sword fight before. It just seems kind of…well..you know…”
“I know. But you wouldn’t mind would you?”
“No. Not at all.”
“Good.”
“But first,you have to show me around town. I haven’t been here for a while either.”
“Really?”
“It’s been about a year and 6 months I think.”
“Wow.”
“Well?”
“I would love to show you around.”
“Good!”he then kissed my lips again. “Merry Christmas love.”
“Merry Christmas to you too Orlando.”
For once in my life I was happy on Christmas. When I was younger none of the Christmases that I celebrated were too fun. Even with the band it wasn’t exciting. Now I was with Orlando. This must have been the happiest day of my life.
“You can show me around town tomorrow,”he said. “You’re probably tired.”
“ME?! I haven’t been the one doing all this film shooting and stuff like that. I think you’re the one that must be tired.”
“I guess you could say that.”
I smiled.
“When did you want to start sword fighting?”
“Is tomorrow ok?”
“How long do you think it’s going to take you to show me around town?”
“Not too long.”
“Alright then. You just have to promise me one thing.”
“What?”
“That you won’t get hurt on the first day.”
“I’ll try not to.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll go easy on you.”
“I’m not as weak as you think I am.”
“I never said that!”
I laughed. “I know. But you never know what I can do.”
“Alright. Then I won’t go to easy on you.”
“I just can’t believe you want to do this.”
“I know. But then again,I guess we aren’t much different.”
“I wouldn’t want to be a solider at war.”
“Oh please. Don’t get me started on that.”
“And I thought you were living every boy’s dream.”
He laughed. “Now where did you hear that?”
“I have connections.”
“Well,I have said that before. So it is true.”
“Thank you!”
“But what about you?”
“What do you mean?”
“What about your dream?”
“I don’t know. I really never thought of that.”
“After what happened?”
“I guess so.”
“Then what do you dream about?”
“Being with you. Since you’re the only person I care about now.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
We went on and on about different stuff until we couldn’t talk anymore. I was really glad that he understood what I had gone though. Same with me. When I first met Orlando
and I didn’t think he was being all that serious. Except about his dad. Now I was glad we were in this kind of relationship.I knew how serious his career was to him. But for some reason I was afriad. I knew our relationship had already gone public and I didn’t really care because no one in Japan had tried to kill me or Orlando yet. I knew that I was probably to young to be getting engaged to him,but it was like,I didn’t really have a choice.
I mean,I loved Orli. A lot. And I didn’t want to hurt his feelings because I knew he had been in these kind of relationships before. But I just didn’t know what to do. Was I going to say anything or just leave this alone? And I knew that I had to leave it alone. I was glad to be Orlando. I knew that I was going to be happy for the rest of my life.
