Keira's jaw dropped and she stared at him. "Ru- Rupert, Orlando and I broke up a long time ago."
Rupert nodded. "Lisa told me you broke up with him because you claimed to be "using" him to gain fame. She also told me that wasn't not the real reason and no one knows the real reason because you refuse to talk about."
Keira turned her head away. "It is the real-"
"Keira" Rupert started. "I am in love with you but I know you don't feel the same way. Don't even deny it because we know it's true. It was obvious tonight. The way you guys kept sneaking looks at each other and laughing at the ice cream for god knows why" he said with a chuckle. "At least tell me the real reason why you ended it with him."
Keira faced him and saw sadness yet compassion on his face. She decided she would tell him because she owed him that much for breaking his heart. "Orlando and I were happy and I never would have ended it. One day though he got a phone call and he went to his trailer to answer it. He had been gone a long time so I went to check on him. Before I opened the door I heard him screaming. The person on the phone was a man from the movie Troy and he told Orlando he would have to go to Malta then Mexico to film the movie. Orlando got upset because he didn't want to be apart from me. He said to himself that long distance relationships never worked so he wouldn't leave me. When I heard him coming towards the door I ran back to where he left me. He didn't notice I had heard. Then he left because was called on set and that's when I decided to break up with him so he could go. I had heard Gore told him it was a good role so I didn't want him to turn it down because of me."
Rupert looked at her and smiled. "You did it out of love then, not because you were "using" him like you told everyone."
Keira nodded with a few tears in her eyes. Keira went on to tell Rupert her and Orlando's entire story. How it was strictly professional at first, he explained the ice cream sherbet date, the thing with Kate, the Oscars, the beach, their birthday parties, their rings and the promise behind it, and to them becoming ex's.
"I don't wear the ring but I carry it around with me all the time" she added as she pulled it out from her bag and showed it to him.
Rupert looked at it and grinned. Keira couldn't believe that he wasn't mad even with her having lied to him. "Rupert, I'm sorry I broke your heart."
He looked at her and shook his head. "Don't worry about it. However, there is one thing you could do to make me feel better."
"What's that?"
"Be happy, I love you so much and I just want to be happy and your happiness is with Orlando" he said as he placed the ring on in her hand.
"I can't. I hurt him-"
"What you did was out of love. Lots of people do crazy things when they're in love. An example is Kate who is a sweet, nice, talented and amazing actress. She would never go on set and start fighting with another actress. She was upset when their relationship ended and wasn't herself. Who wouldn't be upset at the end of a long relationship? In the end she let him go to be happy because she loved him. She did the same thing you did in a way."
Keira nodded "You're right she did. I'll always be grateful to her for that."
"Good now don't let that go to waste. You have to explain to Orlando why you did what you did."
"What if he doesn't believe me?"
"If you guys are truly in love and if it's really meant to be he will. If you want my opinion it looks like you guys are meant to be."
Keira smiled and Rupert and gave him a hug. "Thank you so much for understanding."
"It's not a problem. I just didn't want to continue our "relationship" when I knew we both weren't truly happy. I also wanted to end it as soon as possible so that you can start getting your happiness back."
"You are a good man Rupert Friend. I hope we'll still be good friends."
Rupert nodded. "We will be."
They both stood up hugged one last time until they both went their separate ways.
