Runaway Actor

Chapter 1

Roman continued sprinting, not bothering to look back. The male stumped over his feet as he had just started to turn his head. He continued, stumbling over himself. Eventually, he regained his balance, swerving towards a close alleyway that he'd seen prior to the whole situation. "Come on Roman, think!" He told himself. "What are you gonna do? You're in a broken down alleyway filled with- EUGH RATS!" Roman screamed like a little girl. "Ew ew ew ew ew ew-" He said pettily. He now noticed a big sign that read: 'Auditions Open Now for Truth in the Twilight (Ahh much thanks to my friend for coming up with that!)' Roman gasped, then went into a coughing fit, for he'd been out of breath. He took a moment to slow down and breathe before running back into the crowd of people on the sidewalk.
"Oh my dear sweet Camila! I love thee, but does thou reciprocate my love?" Roman said sincerely. "Oh sweet Damarion, I do love thee, but my father has forbidden our marriage." The female playing Camila sounded as if she were to cry. "BRILLIANT!" The director of the movie interrupted, nearly crying. "Incredibly brilliant!" He started crying due to the short scene. Roman couldn't help but smile, closing the packet that held his script. He turned to the actress, shaking her hand as if he were eager over something. "It was nice working with you." She said, nodding to him before turning around and walking off. Roman nodded after her, scratching the back of his neck, not sure how he did. He shifted on his feet as he headed for the exit. 'Well that happened, perhaps there won't be someone better than me? PSSH! What am I talking about? No one's better than me..' Roman thought to himself. He quickened his pace, happy with how he did. All of a sudden, he was skipping down the sidewalk. Roman swung his arms, "hey Virge how'd I-" he stopped himself, remembering that the other sides weren't here. "I'm fine! They pressured me, I don't need them!... Right? RIGHT! Right right right-" Roman tried to convince himself. "It's their fault I ran.. I think.. I DON'T KNOW!" He screamed, causing people to look his way.

"Come on Patton, stop playing around!" Virgil said angrily, noticing that Patton was skipping. "We have to find him." Patton frowned. "Virgil, did you have to be so vitriolic?" Logan responded, adjusting his tie. "Ugh. Why do you have to use big words?" He put up his hood, hiding his hands in his pockets as he continued walking through the crowd of people covering what was a sidewalk. Virgil had his eyes narrowed as he tried to scout out his friend (mhm sure Virgil, he's just a 'friend'. Totally). "Did you hear about the guy whose whole left side was cut off?" Patton had skipped up next to Virgil, pretty much yanking Logan by the hand unwillingly. "No, Patton." He replied exasperatedly, fidgeting with a loose string. "He's all right now." Patton made a terrible attempt to make him laugh. "Wh- What- What do you- What?" Logan asked, steadily trying to keep pace with the two. Patton was giggling at his own joke uncontrollably.  Patton looked over to Logan, "I'd tell you a chemistry joke but I know I wouldn't get a reaction." It took Logan about 5 minutes to get it, but he did give a chuckle if it'd make Patton feel better over his rather silly puns. Patton smiled, continuing to drag Logan along. "Stop messing around Patton! This is serious!" Virgil was near screaming. "Come on kiddo! Relax!" Patton replied with a smiled. "RELAX?! DO YOU REALIZE WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO?" He lashed out on him. "MY BO-BEST FRIEND (I see you Virgil, I see you) RAN AWAY AND WE HAVE NO IDEA WHY SO I'M NOT GOING TO RELAX!" Logan adjusted his tie, able to remove his hand from Patton's so he could stop. "Bo?" Virgil stopped in his tracks, "uhhh- no... I said best friend-" he made sure to emphasize on 'best'. "I'm precisely sure that I was able to perceive bo." Logan said, going out of his way to use what one would call fancy words. "Ooooooooohhh" Patton giggled childishly. Virgil blushed, quickly going back to walking. "I did not say bo so drop it." "Sure~" Patton continued to giggle.
