Orlando came just as the single was given. But Legend was already surprised. Surprised that Katie wasn't pounding on his chest and demanding to be let go. Surprised that she wasn't yelling at him about being the jerk he obviously seemed to be.
As soon as Orlando had entered the room and wrapped his arms around her as well, that was when the struggling happened. He had expected it. It wasn't a shock to him. But what he was going to say next would probably be a shock to Orlando. "Listen. Katie. Orlando and I...came up with this idea...we weren't going to let you go until you forgave us? Until you were alright. But.." He sighed. "I'm not going to do that. Because I know...that even after you hear what I say you might not be alright. And I don't want to force you into anything." There was no point in it. They were suppose to be friends. Not people for forced each other to do certain things for feel a certain way. Legend looked up at Orlando, knowing that the boy would be shocked.
"I'm sorry. You were right. I shouldn't have told Neptune. And even if I did, I should have told you that I told her." That was clear obviously. He just...had to continue on. "When...I asked you to marry me I told you that I loved you. When I asked if we could still be friends, I told you that I loved you. I still love you Katie. No matter what, always. And I realize, I do, that I hadn't even told Mat about our relationship. Not Orlando. But the thing is...Mat wasn't around. Orlando wasn't speaking to me. You and I weren't doing well. And I needed someone to talk to, and that was Neptune." She was going to hate hearing this. He knew that but the truth was the truth. And he couldn't...hide that from her. It was the truth...that was how it was. "When I told her...I felt like she was the only friend that I did have at the moment...and...I told her about the engagement because I was trying to explain..show her I guess...how much I did care for you, and how strong our relationship was. I wasn't thinking then about the fact it had been a secret. I wasn't thinking about how I hadn't told Mat- who I hadn't seen in ages. Or Orlando - who then wasn't talking to me. I really was only thinking about how much I cared for you and just said it out loud." Legend sighed and loosed his grip a bit. If Orlando wanted to talk he didn't want Katie to walk away, so he still held on quite firmly.
"And...honestly..the only reason I did not tell you about telling her. Was that I had forgotten I told her in the first place. It really did slip my mind or I would have told you....but I know that isn't much of an excuses." There Orlando. You could talk now. Before Katie got mad at everything he had said.
