DOS Ch-101
Emily sat on the ground in her designated spot. Her feet overlapped each other, and a beautiful blue bracelet set rested on her wrist, which she played with idly, drawing attention to her hand. I sat beside her, concern etched on my face.“I must have sounded pretty crazy on the phone yesterday,” she began slowly, her red-rimmed eyes adding a vulnerability to her act as she looked away from me. “You just gotta forget about it. That’s how you can help me out. Just, please, forget about it.” There…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

I blame my teenage hormones for agreeing to Emily’s request. Any sane person would tell me that this is a very bad idea. Kissing someone for a scene is one thing, but doing it for ‘practice’ while all alone was unnecessary and almost as bad as cheating. I knew that very well. Still, I agreed to Emily’s request for reasons that I couldn’t fathom.But it wasn’t meant to be. As if some divine power was watching over me, I got a call from Emma right at the moment when Emily was about to kiss…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

I walked slowly in trepidation as our little apartment got closer. It was a 3-bedroom apartment that, thankfully, my father had bought in cash before his death or we’d probably have to move to a smaller home by now. I had a feeling something bad was gonna happen today. It usually does when I have a superb day at school. Yes, I was still going to elementary school. I won’t risk my education because of some bad parenting. I know that I don’t need school (at least not elementary school) with the…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

April 2011, Casa Encantada, Los Angeles, CA, USA “Hahaha!” The little tyke sitting on my back laughed as if this was the most fun he’d had in his short life, which was probably true. “Yes, Ace.” I grinned at the thought of my son having so much fun with me and continued running on all fours in the backyard. “You and Dada will defeat Ian and Uncle Evan.” “Stop trying to make your kids so competitive,” Evan shot back while running beside me in the same position. “If I left…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“Unfortunately, I have some bad news for you, Caleb.” He is the perfect actor for this film. Had I not already committed to Leo, I might have even cast Caleb in the lead role. The only problem is that he's way too good. Seeing them together, I can easily imagine him overshadowing Leo, especially in the looks department. Leo doesn't realize it now because he's not looking at it objectively. But the moment he sees both of them together in a replay, I know he'll throw a fit. It's better to go with a…- 31.2 K • Ongoing

It was a nice, sunny day when I drove to the address Matt had given me. The building was a little rundown, nowhere close to a big studio like Paramount or Warner Bros. Still, the long line of cars parked nearby made it clear I wasn’t the only one with the bright idea to audition on the last day. Since I’d arrived half an hour before the auditions were scheduled to start, I was already feeling a little nervous. Even so, I pushed it down and walked in confidently. Before I could ask anyone where to…- 31.2 K • Ongoing

“Man, had I known theater school was this much fun, I’d never have gone for an English degree at Harvard. I feel like I wasted my time there.” I nodded. “Same here. Spent the first two years learning International Relations. This is so much better.” “Mr. Pierce is very cool as a teacher,” Matt said. “Of course he is,” I agreed. “Most teachers here are. That’s why I knew they wouldn’t mind you doing it.” “Thank you so much, Cal,” Matt began. “I really don’t know…- 31.2 K • Ongoing

“Uuhh!” I grunted with great effort as I lifted the barbell one last time before reracking it. “Holy moly. That was out of this world, Cal!” Hugo, my brother-in-law, bumped fists with me excitedly. I had a feeling that if I hadn’t been drenched in sweat, he might’ve hugged me too. I nodded, lacking the strength to reply, and grabbed my water bottle, taking several deep gulps. “How the heck did you do it?” he asked. “From never lifting weights to pushing a hundred pounds in just…- 31.2 K • Ongoing

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes to center myself, then finally opened them. I focused entirely on the girl standing beside me, keeping my face deliberately cold. “Please don’t go. I love you, Cal,” she begged as she stepped closer and reached for my hand. At least she tried to. I yanked my hand away and shot her a loathing glare. “I don’t. In fact, I fucking hate you,” I almost spat. “I never loved you.” She stumbled back, horrified. “Then why did you say otherwise for…- 31.2 K • Ongoing

“Fuck!” I slammed my hands down on the steering wheel, the horn blaring loudly and making a man on the sidewalk in front of my car jump in surprise. He shot me an angry glare, but I ignored him and leaned back in my seat, staring at nothing. Everything had gone wrong. I’d come all the way back to the day I regretted the most, only to realize that regret itself had been a lie. Nothing I did would magically land me a role in Friends. Not like this. Not with reality stacked so firmly against…- 31.2 K • Ongoing
