• Dave Vince. One of the lead roles of the nation's most popular soap opera with a love story of his own. The guy meets the girl, they get togethor, then the twist. Dave is also me. And It's actually quite the love story.

    This is the part of the story where everybody knows who the character is. His or her background, friends, etc. Its to help everybody get a better understanding of him or her.
    I lived in Los Angelos, I just graduated and had to move out of my parents place. I was saving enough money to be able to afford a nice place to move to. I didn't think my parents were gonna like the idea fo me still staying around. "You sure your hollywood material"? Said Antonio. He's my best friend and was helping me move. His real name is Anthony but we all call him that cause he has this Italian look to him. "I did get the lead role for most of the plays, both in and out of school. I did take theathre god knows how many classes. I'm sure I can at least get in as an extra." I told him. "You do have more talent then me, that much is true. But I've heard it's a dog eat dog world in there. You'll have to end up going Bulimic if you want to stay on top." Antonio tried to tell me. "Thats modeling, I just have to stay this sexy" I joked.
    "Don't you remember that guy at the burger king" Antonio asked.
    "The one that supported gay rights or the one that dissed me for having brown hair"? I asked with a comedic tone.
    "That brunnete hater" Antonio said. "It turns out he used to of been an actor as well. But after he reached 25 he just wasn't fit for the camera." I thought over what he just said as I placed a box of video games in the car. "25"? I asked. "He had an emotional breakdown and gained a few pounds"
    "Do you know who your talking to though? I work out, I keep my body in shape."
    "Think they'd hire somebody as short as you"? Antonio joked.
    "I'm not short, just not tall"
    "That's short" Antonio quickly said.
    "No it's not" I said. For a best friend he can tick somebody off real quick. "No. It's short." Antonio said. We were starting to sound like children. "Isn't there a place in between where your not short but your not freakishly tall?" I asked. "Yeah but your not in that range." Antonio said. "If I somehow win an Emmy, Your not going to be in the speech." I told him.

    I made it to my new home with everything I would need. I couldn't last if I didn't get a job so I headed over to Hollywood and looked for some auditions. But everytime they said I "wasn't exactly what they were looking for", that I "was missing something". It all came down to this show on ABC called "Two hearts, One Love", A new upcoming soap opera.. I grabbed a copy of the tryout scripts and took my seat and number.
    This is the part of a movie called the rising action. In a love story that would occur when the couple meets. It has always been that way with the only exception being that the couple is already togethor but has a problem to get through, Like keeping their love for each other.
    But this isn't that kindof story. It's the kind where the couple hasn't fallen in love yet. It would start out as a simple conversation. "Hello, who are you auditioning as"? She asked. "I'll be glad to just be an extra. But this Daniel guy looks good" I told her. "I'm thinking of being Jess. But I'll be glad to just get in, even if I become a guy" She said. "I don't think they'd do that, your more lady like then any of the professionals here, maybe cause you don't have a bunch of fake parts like they do." I joked. She then let out a little laugh, It was a cute laugh.
    This would be the part of the movie where the main character would start to fall in love and notice everything nice about his or her love interest. She had this red hair like the warming glow of a fire. Her face was something out of a painting. Her body... You can pretty much fill in that blank.
    I looked down at the tryouts for Daniel. "Look at this. Apparently Daniel and Jess have a relationship in the story." I pointed out. She took a look at my script and noticed the scene was the two at a dinner. Apparently Dan thought Jess was with this other guy and then she convinces him that she wasn't dating that guy. Then in the end she goes around the corner and kisses the other guy. That's alot of info, We could just go on our blogs and spoil it for everyone else. "let's both try the script then" she said. She grabbed a copy of that scene and then sat down next to me again. "I never caught your name" She said. "My name is Dave, Whats your name"? I asked. "Maria" She replied.
    This is the part of the story where everybody sees that the couple is perfect for each other, That they just seem to fit. We both said our lines, but I was more in to it than any of those other auditions. Kate Linder would look away in jealousy. I was one of those guys who actually understood this "love" thing. Maria was doing very good as well. After we were done I swear I heard some clapping somewhere.

    I couldn't believe it when it happened. I ended up getting casted and so did Maria. We didn't end up being Daniel and Jess, But instead Lucas and Alexandra. They still loved each other but had a completly different situation. It was a miracle but this is still Hollywood.
    Weeks have gone by, and Two Hearts one Love became a hit. I personally don't know how this happened but if more money goes in my check I'm happy. Our characters were still togethor but having tons of difficulties, nobody saw this season finale coming when it went on the air.
    Maria and I have become close friends and we and some of the other actors would watch the new episode of Two hearts one love just to see how we've done. That and we're the only ones who can see how corny everything is. With us was Zach and Sarah. They were the guys who got Dan and Jess but we've been over that. Zach got his part cause he ressembles one of those hot spanish guys that chicks in the TV always went for. Sarah got her part cause she was hot, in the show she's the blond chick that has the high end job and is all smart and hot but doesn't fall for anyone. In real life she doesn't understand half the words she says in the show and we all joke about that. we respect her but she's really got to get a dictionary. We also had Stanley the director with us. He was a little on the chubby side and was going bald but he still had energy.
    In this episode Lucas and Alex are in a fancy restraunt, one of those 5 star restraunts that are about taste and looks but in reality theres not enough to feed anyone. Lucas and Alex apoligize to each other for everything that happened. She slept with him, He was caught kissing her, etc. Alex then went to the bathroom to "Freshen up" and Lucas sneaks something below her plate. Later they both finish eating and the waiter cleans up the plates, only to reveal a ring hiding right below it. I do some speech that my love was hidden like that ring, she says yes and acts so surprised.
    "Oh Lucas, I'm so surprised" Said Zach, mocking her. "I didn't say that cheesey line you did 3 episodes ago," Replied Maria. "Can anyone let that go"? He asked. "You are the sunrise that brightens my day" I said mocking him. "It took us 10 takes before everyone would stop laughing everytime you said that" Said Stanley. "If we keep this up the movie will never be finished". He was right though, We've been working on a movie for awhile ever since we finished this season. "If sex and the city can do it why can't we?" I said. This is the scene where you see the couple does like each other. While everyone was laughing Maria and I looked at each other and then looked away when we realized what we were doing.

    A month has passed, The movie was done and my emotions were getting the best of me. Desire wanted me to have her. Love wanted me to keep her with me and never let her go. If I've learned anything from the show, it's that the guy who keeps his emotions secret and building up will eventually do soemthing stupid and move to fast, like what happened to Finch in that episode of "Just shoot me" where the expensive prostitute was paid to act as a super model and be his date, then he screws up saying all this stuff and scares her off (You have no idea what I'm talking about do you?).
    Maria was doing this stretching and vocal exercise like that Sharpay girl from High School Musical (Something you will understand) until she noticed me. "Maria?..." I said very nervously. "You got a cold or something"? She asked. "No... It's just...Well..." I kept trying to ask her but love was clouding my mind. "What is it Dave"? She asked obviously getting irritated. I couldn't speak it so I had to show it, I grabbed a rose off the set and showed it to her. She caught on, but not with the reaction I ws hoping for. "Are you gonna follow along with this stunt"? She shouted. I was definitly in the dark about something. "What are you talking about"? I asked. "Ok I'll play along" She said. She grabbed a people's magazine and showed me an article. The latest gossip was that Maria and I were a perfect couple, that we were perfect for each other, etc. She must think that this is a publicity stunt to make the show more popular. "No Maria, You got this all wrong." I said. "I've loved you ever eince I first met you, I don't even read People!" This is the part where the guy or girl does something stupid. I should've seen this coming. "And how do you think we should date? Secret so that the media will be surprised? Or out in the open so you don't have to put that much work into it"? She said glaring at me. How can I prove this isn't a publicity stunt? That I actually do think about her this way. That this isn't some stunt to get a full house at the movie premiere later today...
    I then just realized what I could do. "Why can't we catch a movie. If we go to the premiere togethor along with everyone else nobody will expect anything. And the theathre prevents it so anybody could bring any cameras or anything. And everyone will be to focused on the movie to see us togethor." I told Maria. Maria thought carefully about this. She wanted to be with me as bad as I wanted to be with her, I could just tell. Thing is how can a guy hot enough to be on a soap opera be the nice guy as well? Was I doing this for fame? Was I hired to do this? All kinds of questions were probally going through her head. She then looked at me again then smiled. "Your really doing this for me right"? she asked curiously. "I would've asked you out even if we weren't famous" I said. "Pick me up at 8" She said.

    Some romance stories would usually end here, except they would have a situation that couldn't be solved under 2 minutes. If this scene doesn't end up being the romantic ending then that usually means there is more to come.
    Maria started to eventually trust me. I could tell she did when she kissed me when we got back in the limo. Praise the man who invented tinted windows otherwise that would be all over the news.
    Good news was I got to go out with an amazing woman, We started going out to restraunts, watching movies, etc. Bad news was the media caught on and it was all over the news. Well, like People magazine gossip news, not CNN headline news, but more people read gossip magazines then watch the news anyway.
    It later got to a point where I just couldn't take it. Its really hard to get in the mood if the paparazzi has been tailing you all day (They could be watching). It just wasn't the same. The romance was lost.
    This is the other rising action of a story, the one us guys like. It usually involves some more action or a storyline that isn't really chick flick material. Our luck changed when the biggest thing in the media wasn't us dating. There was apparently armed robberies around hollywood and nobody has any leads. Nobody got hurt yet but we took the time to add security. I got everything I needed to have a gun licensed and bought a gun myself. I hope I never have to use it, just scare them with it.

    Months have passed and the theives are still at large. But that wasn't on the top of my mind. This is the part of the story with the most emotion. The climax of a love story. maria and I have been dating for monthes now and I just couldn't let this chance go by. We were having a romantic dinner one night and I knew what I was gonna do. "Excuse me for a sec, got some sauce on my shirt" Said Maria, "Hurry and get rid of it at the bathroom, before it sets in." I told her. She went to the bathroom to clean it off. This part of the story is always so romantic. She came back and we finished our dinner. I took her plate away and right below it was a ring. I got down on one knee and she caught on. "yes... I will" She said. I proposed to her.
    The wedding was great. Entertainment, food, but most importantly is that I married the girl I loved. "Maria Vince? Not as catchy as you'd think but I like it" Said Maria. She looked at her wedding ring and smiled. "Dave"? She said looking at her ring. "yes honey?" I asked. "You're not gonna take yours off anytime soon... right?" She asked. I looked at her and smiled as well. "Of course not"

    Some things keep a story interesting. When you think it's over its not. Many years have passed. We had Children and raised them to grow up and follow their own path. Unfortunatly we have become old and there was no use for us in hollywood, Sure I was only 50 but that's old in hollywood. The theives were said to of been caught. I still kept my gun but I lowered the security system. One day though it came to bite me in the a**.
    "You hear something" Said Maria. I took a listen and heard footsteps. "That better not be the kids telling us we have grandchildren" I said. She got up and put on a robe and walked downstairs to see who it was.

    A scream.

    A gunshot.

    Silence.

    I grabbed the gun out of the nightstand next to me. I ran downstairs as fast as my middleaged body could go and looked down into the living room. There was a theif in the room. He was the same one in the news who was never caught. I get the media off my back thanks to theives and now one comes back. But what really pissed me off was that Maria was dead. "Be cool man, She came down here and I freaked out, I would never kill anybo-" The theives then stopped talking and spit out some blood. Pretty hard to speak with a bullet in your heart.

    My life was never the same. The girl that got me on top, she dies and my soul reaches rock bottom. That was the part that guys would've thought as the climax, shooting people. But trust me on the other end it doesn't feel so good, My love is gone and I killed a guy.
    This is the part of the story called the falling action. Its also one of the shortest. After the funeral I just wasn't the same. I was working as one of the camera men in a movie. I never felt the same since the incident, sure I was proven innocent by some stroke of luck, but I lost Maria. I was drinking some coffee at starbucks then somebody sat on a chair behind me. "Hello, Names Antonio" he said. "My names Dave... Antonio"? I said, realizing who I could be talking to. "Hey Dave, Haven't seen you in years. I heard what happened to Maria." Said Antonio. Of course he heard, It was on the news. "You might never gonna move on" He said with sympathy. I lifted my hand and showed him the ring. "there is no might" I told him.

    This is the part called the resolution, A.K.A the ending. its not really a part of a story, Its what you think the movie was about and what it means to you. I know it ment alot to me.
