Prolog- Working For Love
Have you ever woken up and noticed how everyone around you seems to just be suffocating for romance? Just dying to have it in their life like it's something that they can't live without? I don't understand any of them at all. They are willing to go out of their way to destroy everything they know just for one other human being which will end up in heart break each time and yet these people keep on dying for it. They just keep chasing after it. My sister calls me difficult but I think I may be the only person on this planet with sense left in them. Why chase after someone and some random emotion if you know the outcome already?

Beg my pardon, let me introduce myself. My name is Dani Warren. I'm a journalist for NOW, the hottest magazine since entertainment weekly. NOW magazine does interviews with sports stars, movie stars, and rock stars. NOW magazine is known to know everything that a young adult could need to know. Were better then the invention of sliced bread. Want to know the best part? I own it. Or well, my father does. You see when in college I had this best friend, Shaunna Saber. She was shy and there for graphic designs but we had one common thing, we loved gossip. Now not the kind you are thinking about, school was a completely and utterly boring experience for the both of us. No we were into celebrity gossip and scandal, not to mention our same taste in movies, music, and even men outer appeal. Any ways, Shaunna and I hit it off, I wanted to be a writer, her advertisements. We came up one night when we were working on finals this idea, NOW magazine. I would be the reporter and she would do the cover, pictures, and lay outs. In about a months time we had our first small silly and embarrassing issue out. It went over pretty well though, so we pitched the idea everywhere. Door, after door, after door, after door hit out faces until one finally opened. My dads.

Bernard Warren, old man, father of eight, hard worker. He owns his own furniture store chain which is known to only serve the best and on top of that, he has part ownership over a small publishing company. He smells of success, or so I use to say when I was young. He is a kind man, always giving to charity. He is a respected man, known well through upper society. He is a family man, known through his children. Any way you put it, the man does only smart things. So when his second to youngest child, the trouble maker came to him with an idea she couldn't escape, a real job if he helped and a way for him to be in control of her, the only way he could say no is if it involved sex. Luckily for Shaunna and I, it didn't.

It has been about 4 years since we started this magazine and we are still in shock how it all has turned out. We hired a full staff, including photographers, other writers, an editor, secretaries, designers. Needless to say, Shaunna and I aren't in control at all and that's the way we like it. She is working in the creative department. Every cover, every page lay out, all of it she works on while managing and having created the web page. She does a lot but then again this project is our lives. I am a writer, I do most of the public work weather it be a press conferences, a big time interview, or god knows what else. I've become in these past couple months the face to the magazine which isn't to bad though it has it's down falls. And Bernard, well he gets a healthy paycheck from his investment which he keeps investing back into us and is amazingly proud of Shaunna and I, and all our hard work. I guess it pays off finally to do what you love.

Now, back to the love subject. With all I have, with all my hard work, with all my life. I still can not understand how and why people are throwing their lives away for some random feeling which fades and ends up painful. Is love really worth it all?
