Is it bad to be falling in love with your best friend?
Yes.
I know.
I've learned from experience.
How can you stop yourself from falling in love though? Especially when your put in such a close project as the filming of "The Runaways". I personally got so absorbed into the role of Joan Jett, I started feeling the same feelings she felt, experiencing how it felt to be as close to a person as she was to Cherie.
No limits between two people.
Limits. That's the rule that celebrities live under. Limit what you say. Limit what you do. Limit what you drink. For Joan and Cherie there were no limits. Everything that existed in their young minds was themselves and music. That was all they wanted.
Dakota took the role so seriously and got as absorbed into it as I did. In a way we were forced to become our characters even if we weren't in front of cameras. After growing closer to each other, we felt more comfortable being able to say certain things on screen that we normally wouldn't even cross our minds. It was nothing more than a friendship. At least at the beginning.
Our attraction grew into something neither of us comprehended. It caught us by surprise. The way we suddenly got the urge to hold on longer than average friends would. Or the way we stared at each other, making everything around us fade away. The tiny glances that meant more to us than anyone would ever know.
Her scent became so familiar. Her movements became more distinct. Her voice became clearer and softer. How much people would give to be in my position. I would never give it up though. It's a permanent mark left in each others hearts. I'll never forget the thousands of memories we left behind, wishing to be able to experience them with the same feeling I felt at that moment. The tiny feeling in my stomach whenever she took my hand in hers would never compare to anything else.
We'll be together again someday. I'll wait for her to appear at my door with the same bright smile that made my whole world complete. I'll wait for her eyes to make everything disappear except me and her. Hope is what helps me get through the day. The photos of us together and the lingering scent she left in my home.
