Sugar Valley (Hollywood's Darkest Secret) Read Online Free PDF

Valley I
guess.” Damen pulled out a rolled-up journal from his back pocket
and dropped it into the capsule. “This is so stupid.”
    “No it’s not, it’s fun,” argued Darell. Maria
grabbed the box away from Damen and watched it with a smile.
    “My contribution will be the fishing pole
that you guys always generously let and made me use.” Maria looked
up at the blue sky and then back at the box. It was as if she was
looking for God to witness and show his presence at this
moment.
    “Okay, we’ll seal it up and put it ... put
it,” said Darell. He looked at the box, while confusion about
putting it somewhere safe came over his face.
    “That’s right, where are we gonna hide this?
It always rains in the Valley. Therefore, the box will decompose
and look like one of Damen’s horse’s manure piles. This thing won’t
last a week down here,” warned Jose. He looked around the Valley to
see if he could find somewhere safe to place the capsule, but his
sight couldn’t find a home, a place for its importance to be kept
safe and unharmed.
    Darell then suggested, “I got it, why don’t
we place it in the cave across the pond?” Without a reply, Darell
took the box from Maria and began walking over to the cave. The
excitement was so great and grand that Darell didn’t have time to
reason with them.
    “Are you nuts? That’s an old abandoned mine.
That thing could collapse any day now... Besides, I heard that
there’s still dynamite in it,” Damen stated. Darell stopped in his
tracks after Damen’s warning.
    “Oh well, do you have any better ideas?”
asked Darell. He then continued on toward the cave. “Are you guys
coming?” he asked, while Jose and Damen both looked at each other
as they thought of the initials T.N.T.
    Following Darell over to the cave in a
thoughtful manner, Damen and Jose seemed like they were afraid of
it, blowing up from the dynamite, exploding into oblivion. Darell
went from walking on green grass to walking on whitish stone as he
came to the entrance of the cave; still, there was no explosion. He
then placed the capsule deep in its darkness, laying the fishing
pole on top of it, and walked back outside of it to where Damen and
Jose stood; he was still alive, and allowed them to feel that the
dynamite was either too old to explode, or else it didn’t exist
there anymore. The three of them ambled to where Maria was and
began discussing the best way for transportation to California.
    Discussing how they’d be able to get the
train tickets, and then the airfare tickets once the train reached
the nearest airport, became harder than they thought, and they
still hadn’t even left the Valley yet.
    All of them said they were going to meet at
5:00 in the morning, to begin their journey to a life of fame, a
life that they thought they were ready for. Everything was too
perfect, too fictional to be real, and like with everything,
reality finds a way to show itself and ruin the moment. As they
walked up the hill of the Valley, reality did show itself when
Darell looked at Maria and said, “Wait a second, guys, Maria can’t
come with us.”
    “Like hell she can’t,” said Damen. Jose
suddenly let go of her hand and looked at her with a puzzled
face.
    “That’s right, there is no way we’re going to
have enough money to pay for her. We’re already going to have it
hard enough out there, with cash,” Jose spoke.
    Damen reached the top of the Valley and
stared at Jose with confusion, with disappointment. That was his
girlfriend, and he couldn’t believe that Jose was ready to let her
go so easily, so calmly. Damen’s thoughts raced through his head,
before choosing the right words to use in this conversation.
    How can he do that? I would never do that to
her, leave her like that if she was my girlfriend. But how can she
come with, Darell’s right, I’m so stupid for not thinking that. But
still, Jose can’t leave her, and shouldn’t leave her like that. I
shouldn’t even leave
