January 2010, Broadway Theater, Manhattan, NYC “You’re a fucking genius!” James Cameron said enthusiastically, pulling me into a tight hug inside my dressing room. “I died laughing just now. It was so good. I’m telling all my industry friends to come watch this as soon as possible.” “Thank you, Jim,” I said with a grin once he finally let me go. “But the credit mostly goes to the writers and the director. I’m just an actor in this show.” “And you played your part…- 961.0 K • Ongoing
After what felt like months, but was only days, I was finally back in the place I truly called home, free of any major worries pressing down on me. Not the one owned by my father, but the one where I’ve always felt I belonged: water. Thanks to Jordan, most of my financial worries had been washed away. I wasn’t suddenly rich, but not having to worry about rent and utilities went a long way in helping me breathe a little easier. And what better way for a son of Poseidon to unwind than to dive in…- 190.4 K • Ongoing
- “Well?” Bobbie prodded gently after a few seconds of silence. Julie hadn’t said a word, her hands folded tightly in her lap under the lights. I decided to answer for her. “I don’t know about Julie, but my father was furious when he found out.” Bobbie turned to me, curiosity flickering across her face. “Because of the nudity?” I shook my head. “Not really. Dad doesn’t like acting in general. He doesn’t think it’s a great profession. Or at least that’s what he used to think…

- As I walked out of the audition room, I noticed that everyone else had left, leaving just the sexy redhead receptionist behind, the same one who was currently avoiding looking at me. “Hey, Paige!” I greeted her, stopping in front of her desk. When she didn’t even look up, I added, “Still mad at me, huh? Well, I just wanted to tell you that I lost the role, so that I won’t be coming here anymore.” That did the trick of shocking her enough that she forgot she was mad at me. “What do…

- I sat across from my soon-to-be agent and carefully read through the contract she’d handed me. It didn’t take me long to get through the pages. “Honestly, I didn’t expect the reason for you not signing me up to be this,” I said, motioning around at her new office, which looked nothing like her old one. And thank God she didn’t insist on representing me back then. For if she had, I would have lost out on a good chunk of my profits from the backend deal I had subsequently signed with Sean…

- Nikki nervously wrung her wrists, her stomach twisting as she tried to calm herself. She still couldn’t believe she had landed the biggest role of her career, and that she’d be performing beside the biggest superstar in the world. Troy Armitage won awards left, right, and center wherever he went, and he was the only guaranteed box office success in today’s era. Then he was a billionaire, one of the most handsome guys out there, and a record-breaking musician as well. Sometimes, it was hard to…

- “You are very pretty, Julie,” I said honestly to the girl sitting beside me. Julie blushed visibly before ducking her head. “Oh, come on. Don’t use one of your lines on me.” “I’m not,” I insisted. “If I were using a line, I would say something like, ‘Are you sure you’re not a fallen angel? Because you have landed right into my heart.’” Julie laughed beautifully, and all her nervousness from before vanished instantly. “That wasn’t half bad,” she complimented. “I…

- “I don’t understand why they even have an intermission during a Broadway show,” Austin muttered impatiently, tapping his foot against the floor as they stood in line at the snack counter. The lobby was filled with chatter of other theater-goers, though unlike the movies, the crowd seemed a little more sophisticated. “If there were no intermission, we wouldn’t be here waiting for snacks. The show’s barely two hours long. Most movies are longer than that. They could easily finish it in one go if…

- ~All those days chasing down a daydream All those years living in a blur All that time, never truly seeing Things the way they were~ I looked directly into the eyes of the most beautiful girl I had ever seen and continued singing, pouring my heart, soul, and every part of myself into the notes. ~Now she's here, shining in the starlight Now she's here, suddenly I know If she's here, it's crystal clear I'm where I'm meant to go~ When I reached the next verse, I gently took…

- It had taken me all night to pack my things. Zach and Daisy were clingy, bombarding me with so many questions that the first hour was spent answering them. “Which film are you auditioning for?”“Why didn’t you tell us?”“Does it make us less siblings that we have different fathers?”“Please don’t go. We’ll convince Dad in the morning.” I answered honestly since there was no point in hiding anything now. Eventually, they understood I had to leave. They helped me pack my essentials…
