          I did read the first part of your story. It's hard to judge based off of one chapter. What I can comment on is your dialogue. I'll give you a few examples of the mistakes and tips to accompany it.
          
          "Remember it's not real." he whispers, perhaps a little nervously.
          
          If you're using 'he/she says or <- other replacements such as 'asks' etc, there should be a comma instead of a full-stop.
          
          "Remember it's not real," he whispers, perhaps a little nervously.
          
          If you are continuing on the dialogue, a comma is placed at the end before the fresh dialogue and there is no capital letter for the continuation dialogue. 
          
          e.g "Remember it's not real," he whispers, perhaps a little nervously, "please don't forget that."
          
          Use a full-stop when it's not a continuation but a new sentence. 
          
          E.g "Remember it's not real," he whispers, perhaps a little nervously. "Let's get started."
          
          If there is an action after the dialogue you use a full-stop rather than a comma.
          
          "Remember it's not real." He picks up the script. 
          
          But it's better to construct the sentence with the action first in this case. 
          -> He picks up the script. "Remember it's not real."
          
          Grammar wise, I can help you out. Just let me know. Your plot sounds really interesting. Happy writing!

Thank you very much, this will help me a lot! Should I send you the second chapter before publishing or would you like me to write a few more collectively then send? :)
