CHAPTER 2

Pulling up in front of Elijah and Laurens place, Dom put the car in park and turned towards, Sienna. OK, so here we are. It is two AM. Im tired. Youre tired. And instead of going home with ME, you want to be here. To talk to Ole Blue Eyes. Should I be jealous?

Sienna looked at him and smiled. Placing a hand on his cheek, she rubbed his lips with her thumb. Which was met with his tongue darting out and licking. Blinking, Sienna pulled her hand away and looked down. It had been so long since they were together, that it was almost like starting over. No matter her resolve on the plane, she was scared to death that he would not want her after she was with Orlando.

Enna, baby. Dont. I love you. Dom said, grabbing her hand, and placing a kiss in the palm. Please. Dont ever pull away from me again. I think I would die if you did.

Dom she said sighing, and looked back to Elijahs house and squinted. Boy was his ass grass. Look, we still have a lot to talk about. I know things might be awkward at first, but before I can even think about us, I need to go in there.

Dom smiled. Alright. Lets go wake up the little Hobbit.

~ ~ ~ ~

Lauren sat up and listened. It sounded like someone was pounding on the door. She looked over and nudged Elijah. Lij, honey. Wake up.

Rolling over, Elijah looked up at her. What is it?

I think someone is at the door. Lauren replied, placing her feet on the floor and standing up.

Who would be here at, Elijah looked over at the clock on the nightstand, "two fifteen in the morning?

Lauren shrugged. I have no idea. But what if someone was in trouble. Like a flat tire or something. We might be in a safe neighborhood, but still. Come on. Lets go see.

Elijah shook his head and rubbed his eyes. She was always worrying about other people. Standing up, he stopped when he heard the knocking himself and what sounded like yelling.

Lauren looked at him. That sounds like Seinna.

Elijah ran towards the stairs. Yeah. And it sounds like she is yelling my name.

~ ~ ~ ~

SHHH! Dom said looking around seeing if she had woke up the neighbors yet.

ELIJAH JORDAN WOOD!! Wake up now!! Sienna yelled, one more time pounding on the door. She was about to pound again when the door opened and Elijah and Lauren were standing there.

What in the hell, Enna? Elijah said pulling her in the house, with Dom following.

What in the hell is damn right Elijah. Sienna replied angrily.

Elijah looked at Dom and he shrugged. He was as clueless as Elijah and Lauren.

Sienna, honey. What is wrong? Lauren asked placing a hand on her arm.

Sniffing, Sienna covered Laurens hand with her own. Lauren. Sweetie. Please sit down. What I am about to say and do is going to shock you and I think its best that you are already close to the ground.

Lauren sat, but shot Elijah a look. What had he done? Elijah shrugged and shook his head indicating he had no clue what was going on.

Sienna, just spill. Jesus. Elijah said getting irritate. If she came here to confront him on some perceived wrong doing, he just wanted it done, so he could defend himself and go back to bed.

Youre a bastard Elijah. Sienna said in a savage whisper. Its your fault that Orlando is the way he is. You and that bitch Amy.

Doms mouth opened in shock. Enna. Come on now. I know you feel that Orlando was wronged? But by Lij? AND Amy? I think not.

Elijah blinked and looked at Sienna in the eyes. How did she know? Did this mean that Orlando knew?

Is it coming back to you now? Sienna said, walking up to him and stopping just in front of him. Is it coming back to you, how after a fight that Orlando had with Amy, you comforted her. In THEIR bed? THEIR BED ELIJAH.

WHAT??!?! Lauren said standing up, unable to believe what she just heard.

Sienna. This is not the

Before he could say another word, Sienna laid him with a right hook that knocked him on his ass.

JESUS, Sienna. What the f**k?!?! Elijah sputtered from his position on the floor.

Dom came up behind Sienna and put his arms around her. Sienna. Calm down. And explain what is going on.

She struggled to get out of his hold. Dom, let me go. I want to kick every inch of his ass. HE is why Orlando is the way he is. HE is the reason Orlando does what he does. Elijah is the reason we were separated. That Adi died.

Elijah sat up and blinked back tears. No, Enna. Please. Letting the tears fall, his eyes pleaded with Sienna. Dont blame me for that. I loved Adi too. Baby, I love you too. You are my best friend. I:

Shut up Elijah. I dont want to hear it. If you want apologize to someone it best be Orlando. I think he might be ready to hear it. But as for you and mewell that remains to be seen. Sienna looked at Lauren.

Im sorry Lauren. You shouldnt have had to find out this way.

Dom let her walk out the door and stood there looking at Elijah standing up, wiping the tears from his face. Dom..

No need to explain to me, mate. I dont feel that all of this is your fault. Orlando is a big boy and can make his own choices. I do however, feel that you sleeping with his girlfriend was a shitty thing to do. And that it could have caused the start of the path that he took. I will try and talk to Sienna. Shes hurt. Confused. She wants to blame someone, and for some reason she wants to let Orlando off the hook. I suppose with this information, you were a nice substitute.

Im sorry Dom. I had no idea that he even knew

Elijah!!! It dont matter that he knew or not. Jesus. You slept with the woman he loved. Do you know how that feels?

Elijah looked over at Lauren who was as white as a ghost and looking down at her hands in her lap. Yes. And then suddenly the whole thing with Lauren and Orlando made sense. It was payback.

I think you two need to talk. And then you had best figure out a way to get things right with Orli.

Without looking at Dom, Elijah nodded. I will. He wouldnt take his eyes off of Lauren.

Dom let himself out, with a quiet click of the door. And then Lauren looked up at Elijah, who was now standing over her.

It was you. She said quietly.

Elijah blinked. What?

It was you he was trying to get back at. He used me, because of what you did. I went through hell at his hands because of you. Lauren said close to hysterics.

Elijah got down on his knees in front of her. Lauren honey. Please. Lets talk about this.

Lauren stood up and shook her head. I am going back to bed. You stay down here.

Without another word, Lauren went up the stairs and left Elijah alone. Watching her walk away, he let his tears fall again.

~ ~ ~ ~

Dom didnt know what to do. Sienna wouldnt even look at him. She just stared out the window all the way to his house. Now that they were there, she just sat on the step outside. This was not how he planned his return home. Walking into the kitchen, he made her a cup of tea, and took it to her.

Sitting next to her, he put an arm around her. Sienna.

She looked at him and blinked. Dom, she said quietly.

~ ~ ~ ~

Sienna didnt realize how much it would take out of her, or how much emotion would be invoked in confronting Elijah. Suddenly he was there, looking all shocked that this was happening. She really didnt blame him for everything. But once she started talking she couldnt stop. She was sad. She was hurt. And she wanted to feel something else. Even anger would be better than the ache that was in her heart. But all she succeeded in, was causing more hurt. More pain.

Dom, take me to bed. She said quietly. Not sure if she was ready for this either. The last time she had made love with anyone it was with Orlando. And the term made love was used rather loosely. Make me forget. She said leaning in to kiss him.

~ ~ ~ ~

Dom closed his eyes, at the feel of her lips on his. Could he do this? Could he make love to her without thinking about her being with Orlando? Pulling back, he put his hands on either side of neck. Looking in her eyes.

Did you enjoy it? He asked, not even knowing that the question was in him.

Sienna blinked as tears fell down her face. Dom. Please. Cant we leave Orlando out of this. God, she didnt want to answer that. To answer that would kill Dom. She loved Dom. But, as much as she denied it, being with Orlando was wonderful. But it wasnt like it was with Dom. With Dom, there was love involved.

Dom placed a kiss on her cheek. I need to know.

Sienna shook her head. No you dont. She whispered back.

Dom went to her neck and licked the spot behind her ear. Did you moan his name when he did that to you?

Sienna shoved him away. DOM!! Dont make this into something vile because you cant let it go. Maybe this was a bad idea. Standing up, Sienna went into the house and headed to the living room.

~ ~ ~ ~

For some reason, Dom couldnt control the anger that suddenly shoved its way into his consciousness. He stood up and followed her into the house. Before she made it to the living room he grabbed her arm and pulled her around to look at him. And then moving her so her back was against a wall. Pinned there. So she couldnt move.

Dom, your scaring me. she said quietly, thinking maybe she should have stayed with Jennys parents.

They stood their staring at each other. Breathing hard, both fighting emotions neither knew how to deal with.

I love you, Sienna. Dom whispered, putting his head on her shoulder. He really thought that this was going to be an easy transition. That he would be able to put Orlando behind them.

I love you too, Dom. Always have. And no matter what happened, I never stopped. Orlando never had my heart. That was always yours.

Dom put his head up and looked at her. Tears floating in the blue depths of his eyes. I..I he didnt know what to say.

Crying tears of her own, she placed her hands on either side of his face. Do you want me to leave?

Doms eyes widened. NO. No. I dont want that. God, baby. No. He leaned in and kissed her. Sliding his tongue along her bottom lip. Maybe the only way to forget, was to make new memories. And to love the memory of Orlando right out of her. And vice versa.

And it seemed that her sould echoed the same thing, because she pulled back and looked at him. Make me forget him, Dom. She repeated the same question she had earlier. This time it was met with a better answer.

With pleasure.

CHAPTER 3

Dom rolled over and reached for Sienna. Things had gone from bad to worse the night before and he wanted to apologize. Every time he kissed her, or put his hands on her visions of Orlando and her would flow through his brain and he couldnt do it. He couldnt make love to the woman he loved. And for that, he didnt think he would ever forgive Orlando for.

Sitting up, Dom looked around. He knew he hurt Sienna. Closing his eyes, he groaned at the visions in his head.

***flashback***

DAMN IT!! Dom yelled and sat up.

Sienna blinked and followed suit. Dom? She asked putting a hand on his shoulder, only to have it shook off.

I cant do this. Not now. Dom said not looking at her. He couldnt look at her. He was afraid that he would see Orlando in her eyes and he couldnt deal with that. Even though she told him, she never loved Orlando. There was still something between them. She cared for him. At the very least.

~~~

Sienna was scared. Dom was pushing her away. And she knew why. Orlando. Everything had changed. No matter how badly they wanted to get things back to normal, it wasnt going to happen. Not right away. If ever.

Dom. Look at me. Please. She said quietly putting her hand on his shoulder once again, pulling him towards her.

~~~

Turning, Dom looked at her. Really looked at her. This was the woman that he loved. He knew she loved him. Despite everything, he believed her. But then he would close his eyes, and see Orlando touching and tasting everything that was his. And Dom couldnt let it go. Not as easy as he thought he could.

I am sorry, Sienna. Dom said letting his tears fall freely. So sorry., he sobbed, reaching for her.

Sienna wrapped her arms around him, and held on. She hated herself at that moment. Dom didnt deserve this. Maybe she should have never gone back with him. She would never have stayed with Orlando, but maybe being with Dom wasnt the wisest decsion either.

Lets just sleep. Can you hold me at least? She asked quietly, scared that the answer to that would be no as well.

Dom sat up and put his hand on her cheek. God, yes baby. Please. Dont

Sienna put a finger on his lips. Shhh. Sleep. We can talk tomorrow.

Laying down, Dom pulled her with him and she settled her head on his chest. Listening to the rhythm of his heart. She wasnt going to be able to sleep. Not with so much on her mind, but she smiled when she felt Dom relax and fall asleep.

She had to think. What were they going to do? As of right now, things were not looking good. At least not for her and Dom.

***end flashback***

Now Dom was worried. Sienna wouldnt have left. She didnt know her way around LA. And he knew for sure that she wouldnt call Elijah. Stepping out of bed and tossing on a pair of lounge pants he headed downstairs.

Breathing a sigh of relief when he heard her voice he smiled. But then stopped just behind the door when he heard who she was talking to.

Nine eighty five a month. Does that include utilities?

Utilities? he asked himself.

Dom walked into the kitchen and stopped in front of Sienna wanting to know what she was doing.

OK. I can be there around noon to look at itgood. Thank you Mr. Watkins. See you soon.

Sienna hung up the phone and refused to look up at Dom who was hovering over he. Around two AM, she realized that not living with Dom was probably the first step in fixing things.

What in the hell are you doing? Dom asked lifting her chin to look at him.

Getting my own place. What does it look like? She replied standing up and turning to look out the window.

I figured that out. But why? Bloody hell, we just got back together. Dom said, moving up behind her.

And we see how well that has gone so far.

Turning her around he scowled. And did you expect it to be easy? You bloody slept with someone else. Granted it was one f******d up situation but still. I know you. And you never would have slept with him, unless you cared. And that is what my problem is at the moment. That despite what you say, part of you was with Orlando.

Sienna blinked. And that is why I need my own place. We need to start over. And living together is not the way to do that. Besides. I am still married. We sorta forgot about that. If the press were to find out that the wife of Orlando Bloom moved in with fellow LotR castmate and friend, Dominic Monaghan, what do you think then?

Dom was fuming. She wanted to leave him? He couldnt get past that. Sienna wanted to leave him.

Fine. Go. If Orlando and the press are what you are so worried about leave. I have to go to Hawaii anyways for a couple weeks.

Sienna blinked. This was the first she heard about that. Excuse me. Hawaii? Why?

I start filming a t-show. Lost. Dom said looking out the window. And if it takes off, I will be moving there. I had hoped it would be US moving there, but I guess not.

Sienna didnt know what to say. How long have you known about this?

Shrugging Dom sighed. A couple months.

And you are just telling me now?

Dom looked at her. Enna. There has been a lot @#%$ going on. The last thing on my mind was telling you about this. You have to much to worry about. And silly me, I thought that we would be going together.

Sienna was confused. He was acting like they were over. Dom. I am just getting my own place. I dont want us to be over. We just need to take it slow. Start over. I love you Dominic. That hasnt changed. But we have to work on some issues.

Taking a deep breath, Dom put his hand on her shoulders. Enna. Im scared. Flying back from Boston, everything seemed right. Now, I dont know. Everything is confused. In here. He said pointing to his head.

I know. But what about in here? She asked pointing to his heart.

Swallowing, Dom looked into her eyes. What was in his heart? He loved her. More than words could say, he loved her. But could he forget? That was what was making him nervous. I love you, he whispered and leaned down and kissed her. I love you.

I love you too,

And both wondered if that was going to be enough.

~ ~ ~ ~

Orlando had his hat on and his sunglasses. He promised Sam he would pick her up at the airport, but his fear of the press had him hiding behind a pillar. He poked his head around and looked at the gate. People were starting come off the plane so he stepped in front of the pillar to wait.

Finally, he saw her and broke into a huge grin. Running up he yelled her name. SAM!!!

Looking up Samantha Bloom smiled. Her brother. She loved him like no other, despite all the @#%$ that he had been doing the last few years. And losing his little girl, after just finding her, had been a serious wake up call.

ORLI!!

They embraced each other and started crying again. It had only been a few days since Sam had returned home after Adis funeral, but things had changed considerably in those few days. Orlando had let Sienna go. And Dom and her had left. Leaving Orlando alone. But Sam thought, that was good thing. Orlando needed to be alone. To come to term with lots of things in his life.

Im so glad you are here, Sis. Orlando said, draping an arm around her and heading to his car.

Me too. How are Mr. and Mrs. Mathis? She asked wrapping her arm around his waist.

OK. I think having me there, is helping them. I know being with them has been good for me. So much has happened in the last week.

Opening the car door, Sam got in. I know. So are we going to talk now? Or later?

Orlando shut the door behind him and smiled. I guess.. He was interrupted by his cell ringing. He looked at the caller ID and paled. Why was he calling now? He couldnt handle this. Not now.

Orlando? Sam asked, noting the changed in Orlando. She grabbed the phone and looked at it. Elijah?

Orlando nodded and took the phone back. One more ring and it went to voice mail. Before he could change his mind, Orlando answered it.

Ello?

~ ~ ~

Elijah froze. What was he going to say? He looked toward the stairs and sighed. Lauren still hadnt emerged and all he was confronted with, was silence when he knocked and a locked door.

ELIJAHI know its you so you had bloody well answer me.

Orli

~ ~ ~ ~

Suddenly Orlando figured it out. Sienna. She must had confronted him. Damn it. Elijah. I know why you are calling and I cant talk about it right now. And point of fact, I dont want to talk about it.

But Orlando

No buts Elijah. I just picked up my sister so I am going to go. Orlando shut his phone and looked at Sam.

Whats going on Orlando?

Orlando laughed and shook his head. A lot. Lets go the park and talk.

~ ~ ~ ~

Elijah looked at the phone in his hand. Well, he thought, that went well. He turned when he heard a noise on the stairs and jumped up when he saw Lauren.

Morning. Elijah said hopeful.

Lauren looked at him and sighed. She was not ready to talk about this. Rationally, she knew she was being ridiculous, her and Elijah hadnt even been together when it happened. But still. The thought that Elijah could do something like that, was unsettling. Not to mention that the hell that she went through with Orlando and what it did to her mental well being, well it took months to recover. And to find out that man you loved was involved somehow was just to much.

Sienna just called. I am going with her too look at an apartment. She said walking past Elijah.

What? Elijah grabbed her arm. Sienna is looking at an apartment? Why?

Lauren pinned a cold hard look at him. Maybe because Dom cant get past this Elijah. Orlando hurt a lot of people.

She didnt have to finish her statement. He knew. And it was his fault. He could do nothing but let her go. But he would fix this. But how? Suddenly a thought occurred to him. It had been years since he had used her number., and wasnt even sure it was still in his phonebook. Grabbing it, he looked for it. It was still there. Was it the same one? It was a cell number. Taking a deep breath, he dialed the number.

~ ~ ~ ~

Amy had just finished putting her hair up and she looked in the mirror. After a week of sleepless nights, and Orlando Bloom movie-a-thons she looked worse for wear. But she had to go to work, She used all her sick time in the last week.

Jumping when her cell rang, she got it out of her purse and gasped. Why was he calling? He was a part of her life she left behind. She left it all behind.

She opened it. Hello?

~ ~ ~

Elijah said a quick prayer of thanks.

Amy. Its Elijah. And we have a problem.

It was infered that Orlando slept with Lauren...but I shall post When Love and Hate Collide if you wish...

Chapter 4

Sam was looking at her brother. He seemed tired. Almost defeated. Thinking, that he might have hit rock bottom emotionally, she reached over and grabbed his hand. Turning to look at her, Orlando smiled and squeezed.

Im glad you came, Sam.

Me too.

~ ~ ~

Amy sat in the nearest chair and took a deep breath. What?

Its Orlando.

Closing her eyes, she willed herself not to have a panic attack. Ive seen the news Elijah. And Im sorry. Butwhat can I do about it?

~ ~ ~ ~

Amy, no. Its not that. At least not directly. He knows about us.

There really was no way else to tell her. There was no round about way to let that information out that would not shock or hurt her.

~ ~ ~ ~

Amy couldnt have heard him right. Orlando knows? About Us? About you and me?

Yes. I just found out myself. I had no idea

Wait. Wait. Wait. Amy said standing up, pacing in front of the chair that she as just sitting in. How? When? Oh my god. She sat back down, fighting the rising nausea that was threatening her.

I dont know AmesI

DONT call me that. Amy said getting angry. Ames was a nickname that Orlando and his friends bestowed upon her and she hated when people called her that. It brought back to many memories. Good and bad.

Sorry, Amy. I just dont know what to do. I have no idea how long he has known, but I think it has been from the beginning.

Amy blinked. He knew. All the time? How?

~ ~ ~ ~

Elijah didnt know for sure, but his thought, his FEAR was that Orlando came home that day. Came home to work things out with her and found them. He closed his eyes and groaned. He never should have stayed that day. He had just stopped in to see Orlando and found Amy, on the floor crying her eyes out.

Amy, I think he might have, seen us together.

~ ~ ~ ~

Amy dropped the phone and took a deep breath. She was going to hyperventilate. No. it couldnt be. She wouldnt believe that. No. If he saw them.suddenly it all came rushing back to her. That night. The fight. Elijah. Her.

Picking up the phone, she sobbed. I gotta go, Elijah.

Im sorry Amy. Iwe need to fix this somehow. Orlando changed. And it all started with us.

With that statement, Amy hung up and started shaking. It was her fault. He had come back. He loved her. And he saw her in bed with his best friend. Closing her eyes, she fell to the floor.

***flashback***

Knocking. There was knocking. Amy heard it, but she couldnt stand up. She couldnt move. Breath. Orlando left her. Why? She didnt know. Theyd had a fight? But what about?

More knocking. Then she heard the door opening. Maybe he was back. Looking up she saw Elijah standing in the doorway. Oh my God, Ames. What happened?

Elijah kneeled down next to her. Amy looked up at him. Orlando. Left. And she started sobbing again.

Putting his arm around her, he sighed. Shaking his head he grabbed his cell and dialed Orlandos number. All he got was voice mail, so he closed his cell and looked at Amy. Can you stand up? You need to get off the floor.

Amy shook her head. NO. I need to get drunk. Stupid drunk. She said sniffing.

Elijah smiled. No you dont

Oh yes I do. And you need to get stupid drunk with me. Amy said looking up at him.

Ameshe will be back. He loves you. Whatever you fought over, he will calm down and be back. He always comes back. Hell, you always come back. This what you guys do.

Amy smiled weakly and stood up. Not this time, Lij. I just know it. Here, she said pointing to her head and here, pointing to her heart.

Elijah had no idea what to say or do. Amy and Orlando always had arguments, and spectacular ones. It was just their nature. They loved each other so much, and were so passionate about each other, it came out in their fights too. They always worked it out. And Elijah felt that it would be the same way this time. But he couldnt leave her alone.

Stupid drunk, Lij? Amy said smiling a little.

Elijah laughed. Okay. Stupid drunk it is.

***end flashback***

Why had she even suggested it? It never even crossed her mind that something could happen. She never ever thought of Elijah in that light. God, she loved Orlando. LOVED him. Hell, her body still knew him. Whenever she watched his movies or interviews or even looked at pictures, her body, her HEART knew that they were missing something. Missing the other part of themselves. She hasnt been whole since then. And to think that Orlando.GODshe didnt even want to think about it.

What must have gone through his mind when walked back into their apartment? Hell, it had to be akin to what she thought when she woke up the next morning.

***flashback***

Rolling over, Amy groaned. Her head felt like a train, make that twenty trains, were running through it. Hitting a body next to her, she smiled until she remembered something. Elijah. Drinking. But things got a little fuzzy. Removing the sheet that cover the body next to her, her eyes widened and she threw up on the side of the bed.

No. No. No. I didnt she thought to herself, head hanging off the bed.

Jerking up when she felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned to see Elijah looking at her. Eyes wide and scared as she was.

Ames? He asked confused.

Lij.

I think I am going to be sick. Elijah said jumping out of bed, stark naked and running to the bathroom.

Amy laid back down and covered her eyes with her arm. If there was any hope that what she thought they had done, they HADNT it was just dashed. She started crying. What have I done?

Not just you Amy, Elijah said sitting on the edge of the bed, putting his jeans on, wondering where his shirt was.

What if he came back? You said he always comes back. Amy said crying harder.

Do you think I would still be in one piece? Elijah asked seriously. Orlando would kill him. OH god, stupid drunk you said?

Amy nodded. What are we going to do?

Elijah looked at her. Nothing.

Amy sat up, making sure that the sheet didnt fall down. What do you mean nothing?

No one needs to know about this. It was nothing but waaay to much alcohol.

Amy blinked. Are you sure?

Elijah cocked an eyebrow. He loved Amy like a sister, and never, ever entertained romantic or lustful thoughts towards her. Ever. And he knew she felt the same way.

What do you feel right now? he asked.

Like killing myself. But I get your point. I dont think of you that way at all. Not even AFTER last night.

Exactly. You were hurting and we both were drunk off of our asses. I am afraid to go out there and see exactly how much we drank. If the feeling in my head is any indication it was a mass amount.

Looking to the side of the bed, she sighed. I know the feeling.

Standing up, Elijah smiled down at her. Promise. NOTHING goes past this room.

Amy looked up at him. She was sure he was right, but it would always be in the back of her mind. If Orlando came back, the guilt would eat at her. Things were never going to be the same again. Not with her and Orlando.

OK. Listen can you

Yeah..I gotta find my shirt and stuff anyways.

Waiting till he shut the door, she rolled onto the other side of the bed and stepped out. She had to get dressed and get the mess cleaned up. Before Orlando came back.

@#%$

Throwing her robe on, she followed Elijahs voice. And stopped dead next to him. @#%$ is right.

The living room looked like a bar AND a liquor store exploded. Amy broke down and cried. Not only had they got drunk in the living room, but it seemed that their clothes started coming off in there as well. I have got to get this cleaned up before he gets back.

Elijah looked at her as he picked up his shirt. Do you want me to help?

Amanda shook her head. No. I think its best if you arent here. I am going to have hard enough time without you being here.

Nodding, Elijah gave her a hug. Look. I know you are going to feel guilty. Hell, I am going to have a hard time looking him the eye for awhile myself, but we can get through this. We dont love each other. And I cant even remember how it got started, can you?

Looking around the living room. The last thing I remember was trying to call his cell and not getting an answer. I have no idea what time that was and then I woke up. With you, freaking naked. Next to me. Sorry to say I cant even remember the actual activities of the night.

Elijah laughed Me either. So I think this will all pass in time.

Taking a deep breath, Amy smiled. I sure hope so.

Call me later. Let me know when he gets back.

Will do.

***end flashback***

She never did call him. She never called anyone. About an hour later she got a note from Orlando, telling her it was over. To be out. And leave the key. He never wanted to see her again. So she packed, and left. Never calling Elijah or Liv. Or anyone. She started a new life. At the time, she thought his decision was extreme. But now

Standing up, she picked up her phone and hung it back up. What was she going to do now? She had to go to work. But knew she was going to be useless. Elijah was right. It was time to make amends. If it was true, and the path that Orlando had chosen was because of them, they had to do something about it.

~ ~ ~ ~

The park was pretty much empty, say for a few moms and their pre-school kids. The sight made his heart ache all the more for what he lost when Adi died. Was it only a couple weeks ago, he asked himself.

Orli. Are you okay? Sam asked, worried about the look that came over his face. And then glancing at the kids playing, she understood. Putting an arm around him, she laid her head on his shoulder.

It was all too much for him. He broke down and cried again. Why? Why did she have to die? I know its my fault. I know it. But why did God have to punish her for the sins that I committed? Why couldnt I have died instead. He said crying into her hair.

Sitting up Sam put her hands on either side of his face. Orlando Bloom. This is not your fault. Adi did not die because of you. Yes you did a lot of things wrong and I think, your punishment for them was in the form if Sienna leaving, and all your friends and all that. Not Adi dieing. That was an accident. If anything, you should use this experience to fix yourself. She loved you. Unconditionally. And I know she got into here, she said tapping the spot on his chest where his heart was, I saw you changing back. Changing back to the Orlando that we all loved. Changing back to my brother.

Nodding, Orlando sniffed and wiped his eyes with the back of his hands.. I was. I mean, I was starting to. I think. And thenI f****d up everything. Everything. Sienna. Dom. All of them. I would take one step forward and then ten steps back. I dont think I can change. Not all the way. Not when I feel like this.

How is that? How do you feel? Sam asked, holding his hand.

Hate. I hate them. He said quietly, thinking to Elijahs phone call and how quickly the rage affected him.

Who? Sam was just as confused as always.

Orlando looked at her, through tear filled eyes. Elijah and Amy.

Sam blinked. WHAT?!?!

~ ~ ~ ~

Lauren had just dropped Sienna off at Doms and was heading back home herself. Both girls had some serious issues to deal with in their lives, but Sienna had a feeling that Lauren and Elijah would get theirs worked out a lot sooner than her and Dom.

Walking into the kitchen, she set down her purse and sighed. The rental car was gone, so she was assuming that he took it back. Hopefully, he would be coming right back home. They needed to talk.

She noticed that there were some messages on the machine so she hit the button.

Message 3..Enna. Please. Call me. We need to talk. PLEASE. And if Lauren is with you, please. Have her come home. its me Lij.

Sienna smiled and deleted it. Lauren was on her way there now, so that was no issue. And she was sure, that she could forgive him soon enough. But she had more important issues.

Message 2..Sienna. Bills called. Seems he flew into LA for a script reading. Meeting him for drinks.

Short. She would have loved to see Billy.

Message 1,..Dommie, I just flew in for a couple days, wanna know if you and your lassie want to meet for drinks later. . And I want to see you. Call me.

Sienna stared at the machine. They were both invited. And Dom didnt want her with him. Sitting down on the sofa she looked down at her hands. How does something get so messed up in just a few days? She leaned her head back on the couch and cried. Shes lost Jenny. Adi. And now she was losing Dom. And she just got him back. She wasnt sure she could survive anymore.

~ ~ ~ ~

Billy didnt know what to say. Dom had just told him the cliff notes version of went down.

ElijahAmytogether? Lord have mercy.

Dom nodded. So for some bloody reason, Sienna wants to blame Orlando all on that now.

Billy looked him. he knew Dom. He had some serious anger over the whole Orlando and Sienna thing and it was just now starting to come out. Things were going to get worse before they got better. IF they got better.

Well, it was the beginning of the end, ye know? Billy said.

Dom just scowled and ordered another drink. They had only been there a half an hour already Dom was well on his way to a drunk fest. Billy put his hand out to stop Dom. Dont ye think ye had enough?

Shaking his head, Dom downed the shot. Not until I cant picture them together anymore.

Billy knew he wasnt talking about Elijah and Amy. No, his best mate was haunted by things that went on between Orlando and Sienna.

thanks girls..

Chapter 5

Amy came in from work and threw her purse and keys on the couch. She told them she needed a couple weeks off of work for personal reasons. When asked what those were, she had replied that they were personal for a reason. And since she wouldnt tell them, they fired her and at that point she didnt care, she was like fine. Whatever. But there was no way in hell she could or even would explain.

So before she left she made several long distance phone calls on company phones and smiled at her little rebellion. The first one was to Elijah. They had to discuss how to handle this. The second, was to the only number she had for Orlando, and then chickened out when it actually went to his voice mail.

Now she was home. Not entirely sure how she was going to afford the apartment, but was sure she could get another job. Sitting down, she removed her shoes and sighed. She hoped that Elijah would call back soon. Amy was thinking that maybe she should fly out to see Orlando. Confront him face to face. But then, Elijah knew more about his state of mind than she did at this point.

Shaking her head again, in disbelief of all that occurred, she went into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of wine. Right, she said to herself and put it back. Alcohol was not what she needed. Settling, instead on a bottle of water, she went back into the living room and sat cross-legged on the floor, going through her photo albums until she came to what she was looking for.

Smiling, she opened it up and started going through her memories. Going through the best years of her life.

~ ~ ~ ~

OK, here you are. Billy said, holding an inebriated Dom up as best as possible. When Dom was drunk, he was nothing but dead weight. Looking around, he noticed that the couch was occupied by Sienna and sighed. He would wake her up before he left to talk to her.

Dragging Dom to the guest bedroom, he laid him on the bed, and covered him with a small blanket. Upon returning to the living room, he kneeled beside Sienna and shook her gently.

Enna?

Siennas eyes opened slowly. Bills?

Billy smiled. Yes. I brought Dommie home. He had a wee bit to much to drink.

Sitting up, Sienna ran a hand through her hair. Oh. Ok. Looking down at Billy, she sighed. How is he?

Billy moved up next to her on the couch. Confused as hell. And upset that he is hurting you.

Laying her head on his shoulder, Sienna began to cry again. How did this get so f****d up? I mean, really. Everything was fine, or at least I thought it was going to be fine, when we left Boston. Now, she shrugged. I am not so sure.

I cannea tell you, lass. I wish I could help. But this is out of my experience. And I am still trying to wrap my mind around Elijah and Amy.

Sienna snorted. Tell me about it. When Orlando told me, I saw red. All this time. She stopped in mid sentence. Never mind that. Elijah and Orlando have to work that out for themselves. I have my own issues to deal with.

Standing up she, she moved to the window and turned to look at Billy, leaning on the window. So how much did Dom tell you?

Billy shrugged. Not much. Just that he is having a hard time dealing and that you found your own apartment. And I am to think this was all decided in a day?

Smiling, sadly she nodded. I knew after the first night here things were going to be bad. I just think that having my own place is a good idea. Im still married to Orlando. And I think Dom and I have to start over.

Nodding, Billy saw where Sienna was coming from. But what about him leaving for Hawaii?

Sienna rolled her eyes. Yeah. I didnt even know anything about that until this morning either. We had been together for the last three weeks and he never mentioned it.

Billy was starting to get an uneasy feeling. Siennas plan had merit, but he wondered if things really would work out. If Dom was going to be gone for a long period of time, how were they going to work anything out?

If he asks me, I plan on visiting him as much as I can. I mean its Hawaii. We are in LA. Really not that far of a leap. But still, it would be easier if were in the same city.

Billy looked at his watch. Shite. Look I gotta get going. I have a meeting in an hour. Tell Dom to call me. I will be flying back home in the morning.

Sienna walked over and gave him a hug. Thanks, Bills. Tell Ali I said hi.

Will do lassie. And remember, he loves you. He would be daft to let you go after everything that has happened. Just be patient.

Blinking back tears, Sienna smiled. I will. Drive safe.

Shutting the door behind him, Sienna leaned against it and let the tears fall. She was afraid that all the patience in the world wasnt going to help. Once Dom went to Hawaii things would change. She felt it deep in her soul.

~ ~ ~ ~

Elijah sat on the floor looking up at Lauren, who still hadnt said anything after he spilled the entire thing. He was beside himself. He had never thought this would come back to haunt him. It meant nothing. Nothing at all. And he knew that was usually a lie told to make people feel better, but in this case it was the truth. Lauren, honey. We werent even together at the time. How can this bother you so much? He asked trying to take her hand. He needed some sort of connection with her. Her whole attitude was scaring him.

Lauren shook her head, and pulled her hands away. Dont touch me. Not now. Standing up she paced in front of the couch.

Elijah blinked back tears and looked up at her. Sweetie. Your scaring me. He stood up and stepped in front of her to her to stop moving. Talk to me.

Laurens eyes gave off sparks of anger that had Elijah taking a step back. Talk to you? TALK to you? After the hell you gave me for sleeping with Orlando. You made me feel like @#%$. AND it was your fault he messed with my mind in the first place. So I dont really feel like talking right now.

Elijah sunk to the couch. He never thought about it that way. The thing with him and Amy waswell it just was. But Orlando did see them. So Lauren was right that is was their fault that Orlando messed with everyone. Including Lauren. Looking up at her with tears in his eyes, he bit his lip. I am so sorry. IYoure right. I justGOD DAMN, this is so f****d up. He finished, running his hands through his hair causing it to stand on end. What can I do to make it up to you? I dont want to lose you.

That took the wind out Laurens sails. And she kneeled on the floor next to him. Putting a hand on his cheek, Lauren kissed him. I am not going anywhere, baby. I love you too. Its just that this whole thing needs to be resolved. And talking about it is bringing back all the memories of what happened. And to know that you inadvertently had a part in it, well it is kind of unsettling.

Elijah put his forehead on hers. The last thing I want to do is hurt you.

I know. I know. I promise, this isnt going to do anything to us. Its just going to be very uncomfortable for awhile. Especially when you talk to him.

Opening his eyes and looking at her, Elijah sighed. Talk to him. Why does that scare the hell out of me?

Lauren shrugged. Many reasons Im sure. The least of which having to admit to the wrongdoing on your part. And Amys. Have you called her back?

Elijah shook his head. He had just checked his messages when Lauren came home. And he wanted to talk to her first. Lauren was his first priority. I should call her back. See what she wants to do. I just cant believe this is happening.

Me either. But maybe its time. Orlando was hurting so many people. And himself. It sucks that it took Adi dieing, for him to wake up. And poor Sienna and Dom. I just dont know what is going to happen to those two.

What do you mean? Elijah asked grabbing the phone.

Sienna found an apartment today. And from what she tells me, things are not well with her and Dom. Like overnight, he became angry and unable to cope. I told her that was probably because the last few weeks have been so busy, and wanted to be there for her during the funeral and stuff, that now that he had time to think about it, its hitting him.

Jesus. Is he still going to Hawaii? He asked, wondering if this another sin Sienna was going to add to his list. He needed to talk to her too.

Yeah. He has too. He has a job. Sienna didnt know anything about it. She is scared. She feels like she is going to lose him. All because she let hormones get the better of her. AND she is also afraid that Dom might be right about one thing.

And that would be?

Sienna is wondering if deep down she was starting to fall for Orlando, and that was why she caved so easily. Which would mean that she had no business being with Dom. Its a viscious circle.

Well that is bullshit. Sienna never loved Orlando. Not in the least. And especially not in the way that she loves Dom. He is going to ruin the best thing in his life if he is not careful. Its not everyday that you get a second chance with the love of your life.

Lauren smiled. Dont I know it.

Smiling, Elijah pulled her close. I love you.

Love you too.

Orlando and Sam were walking along the beach, kicking up stones and such.

You should call him. Sam said out of the blue.

Stopping, Orlando looked at her. What?

Samantha looked up at her brother. You should call Elijah. I think its time.

Snorting, Orlando started walking again. Bugger that.

Grabbing his hand, Sam pulled him to a stop. You have to. If you really want to move on, you need to confront him. This all started with that one day. When you saw your best mate in bed with the woman you loved. Dont you think you got your revenge for that already? She asked referring to what he had done to Lauren.

Bloody hell. I know I have to take care of that. I need to apologize to Lauren, but to talk to Elijah? I dont think I can do that. He said with shake of his head.

Orlan Sam was interrupted by her phone ringing. Looking at the caller ID she gave a look to Orlando.

Hello?

~ ~ ~ ~

Sam? Its Sienna. She said sniffing.

Are you alright, love? You sound awful.

Standing up, and going to the guest room to check on Dom she blew her nose. No. Everything has gone to @#%$.

~ ~ ~ ~

Sam sat down on a boulder and sighed. What happened?

Orlando tapped her shoulder, and mouthed Who is it? Sam mouthed back Sienna and Orlando immediately sat down next to her, to try and hear what was going on.

~ ~ ~ ~

Dom. He hates me. He is going to Hawaii. He thinks I love Orlando. He said that I never would have slept with him if part of my heart didnt want to. I dont think this is going to work out. She finished crying harder.

OH, sweetie. I am so sorry. I dont know what to say.

Shutting the door to the room that Dom was in, Sienna headed back to the couch. There is nothing to say. Hell, maybe Dom has a point.

~ ~ ~ ~

Looking at Orlando, Sam sighed. And that would be?

Maybe somewhere inside me I do love Orlando.

Closing her eyes, Samantha groaned. That was what she was afraid Sienna was going to say.
