When Leon first saw him singing in a dive bar, he was mesmerized. But he didn't know he'd be going home with the dangerously sexy lead singer that night. He couldn't have predicted he'd fall in love. But then, Leon never expected his love to be reciprocated ...<br><br>So, why, three years after that fateful night, is Leon perched at the edge of a bridge, ready to make a fatal leap?<br><br>Superstar is the story of a groupie and the rock star he loves. It's the tale of a man on the edge, both literally and figuratively ... and it's a timeless story of love found and lost, set to a driving beat. It's a story about promises made, promises broken, and dreams unfulfilled. And, ultimately, it's about realizing that love can come along when one least expects it -- and in the unlikeliest of places.

Superstar

“C’mon, man. Misery loves company. Just come off of here and tell me what brought you to this point. I really wanna know. And I’ll share my own tale of woe. We can compare notes. Saddest story wins.” He smiles. “And if it’s a tie, I’ll race you to the edge.”


I close my eyes, briefly considering giving him what he’s asking for. But I know that his offer to let me go after I talk to him won’t happen. He’s too kind, too decent, to just throw up his hands and say, “Well I tried,” and then just let me go jump off a bridge.


“Just two steps,” I whisper. “Please.”


“Just back off a couple of steps, then. Give me that.”


He holds up his hands in a gesture of surrender. “One…two.” He says, taking exactly two steps back.


I consider just a quick leap and this will all end. But how can I do that to this guy? Can you imagine his nightmares?


But I have to wallow…just a little bit more.
