Author's Note: I recently fell in love with the movie Walk the Line and this story has that sort of arc to it. Tell me if you like it/love it/ hate it and if I should keep with it.

He was an amateur. A good for nothing, low-life wannabe. He was poor; he had only $28 to his name. He wished, he longed, he hoped that he could make it in the big leagues. He was married of course, to his beautiful (and self-absorbed) wife of 3 years, Marissa Rodriguez. He wanted to be known. He wanted to have everything he had ever dreamed of. He dreamed, naturally, to be on stage. To be adored, to be worshiped in a sense of music, and music only.
She was a professional. She'd been doing it since she was a kid, with her sister. They sang, they danced… their parents told them that the act was a family affair. She knew, however, that it was her sister that had the real talent. She knew that she wasn't ugly, that she had inherited her mother's good looks. She had everything she wanted… the career of her dreams, a loving family, thousands of devoted fans… but somewhere deep in her heart, she was lacking the only thing that really mattered.
He was a family man. He had two daughters, both under the age of three. He was 28 years old, still a kid in his mind. His wife was a constant reminder that he had a family to feed, that he couldn't just go out on a whim and try to make it as a singer.
She had a mother, a father, and a sister. No boyfriend, definitely not a husband, and wasn't planning on attaining one for a very long time. She was 23. She wasn't looking for a man, she didn't want a man.
He was Chris Keller. And she was Haley James. Two souls, two very different people, looking for something that they could only find in each other.
