❝What happened to us. Why weren't we ever an item?❞ I asked tenderly as he fluttered his eyes open. ❝Because, Chris. You never liked me the way I liked you. I've never been in love until I saw you sitting on that Juilliard stage playing the piano, the biggest goofy smile on your face, because you're doing something you adore, and damn it. That's when I fell in love.❞ -In which two believers fall in love, but not at the same time. A story about love, heartbreak, and a whole lot of rock and roll.

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. Note that some events are altered to fit the addition of new characters. PLEASE know that this contains some strong content, due to the realistic portrayal of River's personal life.)
