The year is 1989, and living in Hollywood is every young persons dream. But surrounding yourself with the company of rising stars can be the difference between a dream and a nightmare. - (This story is the result of continuous research, meaning most events in this story are real accounts of River's life and the experiences people have recalled with him.

"How do I know you're not the one who's taking pictures of me?" I smiled, shrugged, and laid back. "You don't. That's the part that makes it thrilling. You have to keep it a secret at all costs, to win." "The worst part is...if I were to guess you, and got it wrong, I'd lose." "'Risk and reward'...or...'All good comes to those who wait'? In the end, River, it's your choice. It always is." ©mrs_mikitahoran-2015-2016 COMPLETED "I thought that this story was different because a lot of other fanfictions I read tend to have River as an actor meeting someone while he was acting. I liked that this story had River meeting someone while at school and then having an assignment where he had to figure out who was taking pictures of him. The part with Sevine taking pictures of River was really sweet. I read this story as often as you updated, and I was interested to see what happened." -Anne

It was an amazing love story; His name is River Phoenix. Her name is Grace Marin. Same age, same school. The significant two re-met in the most unlikely way: River was passed out in an alley behind a local bar. Grace saw the familiar face and thought he was left for dead, but turns out, he was drunk. River had drinking and drug issues, as much as he wanted to give that life up, the daily routine was something he couldn't get rid of. Grace was a troubled student; juggling her depression and struggling to keep up her grades, this life style was more than unexpected. Read on...
