"Here. Drink this" said Jerry as he handed Keira a cup of water. He, Keira, and Johnny were all sitting in Jerry's office that was next door to Orlando's dressing room. "Feel better?"
Keira nodded her head. "Yes. Thank you Jerry and sorry-"
"Don't worry about. I'm not a producer right now. I'm your friend."
"And I'm not your co-star" said Johnny. "I'm also a friend. A very concerned friend to be honest. What happened in there? he asked as he pointed next door to Orlando's room.
Keira closed her eyes and put her face in her hands. "I don't know. Everything got out of control. I wanted to tell him why I had really left him almost two years ago but then he kept talking and he misunderstood things I said, he wouldn't let me explain because he was so hurt and things got out of hand."
Both Johnny and Jerry looked at her with sympathy. "You never should have ended it."
"But Jerry, Orlando would have-"
"Orlando would have been happy with you by his side. Do you really believe he could hate you for holding him back? No because you weren't. He didn't want the movie role, he wanted you."
"He agreed to it in the end because you weren't there" added Johnny.
Keira looked up as one tear slid down her face from her left eye. "I lost it all didn't I?"
"No, you didn't. Not yet. What you have to do is-"
"I have to try again and again and again until he knows."
"Yes you do. Try again and tell him everything. It's the only way he'll understand."
Keira smiled. "Thank you. Thank you both.
Johnny responded by giving her a small grin.
She then got up and headed next door to see if Orlando had returned. She was stopped when Johnny grabbed her arm lightly.
"I think you should wait a while. Let him cool down." Suddenly he smiled at the memory of the last time he had said those words. It was Orlando he had said it to when Kate and Keira got in a brawl. Before both young actors knew their love for one another.
Keira however was a little upset and anxious that she would have to wait for another opportunity. "Well" she thought in her head. "It's better than no opportunity."
Keira had planned on waiting a week before trying again. Slowly the week became two weeks, then three weeks, and then four weeks. She wasn't going to allow it to become five weeks. She hadn't spoken to him at all, because he had managed to avoid her except on set when filming.
