Disclaimer: Ok, I got this idea from a short story I read a long time ago on another website and I am kind-of going off of that but changing it so it won't be exactly like their story. My OC are my own and I do not own any famous people in this short story, enjoy.

PG-13: for content and language.

I'm not always the type of person who tells emotional, close to my heart stories, but one night I told one that still ahunts my memory.Two days ago, me, Elijah, Dom, Billly, and Viggo were sitting in a restaruant a few hours before the Fellowship of the Ring premiere and we were talking about experiences we had with girls, whether romantic, sad, or funny. Soon it was my turn.

"So, Orlando, tell us an experience." Elijah said taking a sip of his drink.

"Well, this is one I don't usually tell people, but I will tell you guys. It was last April......."

~April 2000~

I was sitting in my flat and extremly bored, so I decided to go out to the park for a walk. I went down to Hype Park and rode a horse and then took a walk around. It was a grey day and I sat down on a bench and people watched. I watched happy couples walk close together on this cool day to keep warm. I watched happy families play with their kids, laughing and smiling with a warm glow about them. Then I saw an old couple walk slowly down the path holding hands, caring about nothing else in the world but themselves. I sighed, I wanted a realationship like they all had. Then I heard a loud clap of thunder and it began puring down raining.

Everyone began running to get back to their cars, falts, or whatever. I began to run back to my car when I stopped, there was one young woman standing in the rain. She had her face looking towards the sky with her hands raised, like she was feeling rain for the first time. I stared at her thinking this was strange but so sweet at the same time. She was dressed in dark jeans, tennis shoes, a green t-shirt under a jean jacket, and had a messanger bag on that looked pretty full.

Suddenly, she turned around knowing someone was staring and I got a look at her face as she looked back at me. She had dark brown chin length hair, a kind smile, tan/light skin, and hauntingly beautiful clear blue eyes. I walked over to her, with us both soaking wet from the still pouring rain and her hair clung to her chin and face.

"Hello." She said softly.

"Hello." I said softly back. She had an American accent, she obviously wasn't originally from here. We both just stared at each other for a long time until I spoke up.

"I'm Orlando." I said.

"Nice to meet you, Orlando." She said.

"Do you want to get some hot tea with me?" I asked, not knowing why I was asking this stranger for a drink, but something in her eyes made me feel like I needed to. She looked at me hesitantly for a moment then her eyes lit up.

"Sure." She said and I took her hand and we ran across the street to a little cafe. I got us both some hot tea and we sat down at a small table by the fireplace and took our jackets off to dry. We were quiet for a moment while we drank the warm, sweet liquid, but I wanted to get to know her better.

"Are you visiting London?" I asked curious.

"No, I've lived here for 3 years with my faince." She said and my heart sank, she was taken, "But I am running away." She said softly and I looked up at her.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because I don't love my fiance and he abuses me." She said looking into her cup and I then noticed cuts on her arms and bruises on her wrists and I immediatly felt pain, sympathy, and anger.

"Why does he do this to you? And why don't you report him?" I asked concerned.

"I don't know why he does it and if I do report him, he'll kill me." She said as she looked into the fire in the fireplace next to us and then she looked back at me. I could now see the pain and sadness in her beautiful eyes.

"Do you think he will look for you?" I asked.

"Most likely." She said taking another sip of her drink.

"What about your friends and your family, you'll just leave them?" I asked.

"My family lives back in the states." She said, nice one Bloom, you forgot she's only been living here for 3 years with her boyfriend!

"But, yes, I would leave my friends behind as long as I can get away from my fiance." She said.

'Oh I wish I could take you with me and protect you and show you real love.' I thought as I looked into her eyes.

"I was going to get a taxi to take me to the airport when I met you, but then it started raining and I loved being in the rain free for once." She said and I smiled, it was sweet with her out in the rain earlier.

"Where are you getting a flight to?" I asked hoping it would be somewhere close.

"Anywhere, I don't care." She said and I put my hand on hers.

"I'm sorry your boyfriend did this to you. No woman should ever be abused, they should be loved and cared for." I said and she smiled a bright smile, she also had a beautiful smile.

"Thank you, it's nice to know somebody cares." She said as she held my hand. We watched one of the families I saw in the park earlier come in and they sat close by. Their three year old little girl turned to us and said hi. Then we both laughed and said hi back to her. Her laugh was so light, cheerful, and airy unlike what she has been through recently with her fiance.

We sat there for hours just people watching and letting ourselves dry off. Finally once we were warm and dry she turned to me.

"I've got to go. I need to catch a plane." She said.

"Wait, let me take you." I said not wanting to let her go. We put our jackets back on and she grabbed her bag. I drove her to Heathrow and she bought a ticket for the next available flight. The flight was boarding and she hugged me.

"I want to thank you, because of you I'm becoming free. I want you to have this to remember me by." She said handing me a silver star charm off of her necklace and she put it in my hand.

"Thank you and I hope you will be happy and safe." I said.

'Tell her to come back with you! Make her happy and you can show her real love! She wants real love! You can protect her! Take her with you!' My head screamed and she must've known what I was thinking because she waited to get on the flight and her eyes were full of hope. Then they called her flight one last time.

"Goodbye Orlando and thank you." She said as she kissed my cheek.

"Goodbye." I said and she began walking away, "Wait! What's your name?" I called and she turned.

"It's on the charm." She called back and her blue eyes gave me one last look that would haunt me forever.

I ran to the window and watched her flight go to where ever, she didn't tell me where. I walked back to my car and then looked at the star charm and saw her name."Kathleen S." I whispered to myself and I drove home with tears in my eyes.

~end flashback~

"So, to this day her eyes and face haunt my dreams and I've never forgotten her." I said finishing my story and the guys were silent.

"Did you report her fiance?" Viggo asked finally speaking up.

"How could I? I didn't know his name or her full name." I said fingering her charm on my necklace.

"That was the sadest story I've ever heard." Elijah said.

"And you don't know where she went?" Dom asked.

"No, I wish I did." I said and then Billy noticed we had to go to the premiere. As we got in our limos, I looked across the street at Hyde Park and sighed.

'I wonder is she still thinks about me or remembers me.' I thought as my car drove away to the premiere.

A/N; There it is. I thought I would try my hand at a short story agian since my alst one wasn't so good, I hope this one is better for you all and I hope you all like it. I was thinking about continuing it to make it into a story but I don't know. I might continue it into a another short story but who knows. Please read and reply and leaves nice replies!

Thats so bitter sweet! You should totally should continue this because there are so many things that could happen in it!!!
You wrote it beautifully, and I have to say that would be something that no-one could forget. And I bet that she does still think of him. I mean she felt he was helping her to become free, how could she just forget that??
Anyway Kitty, I loved it!!
