' his scarred beauty'
*Stand Alone

"We take everything for granted in our life.
But then one day it all gets turns into a dream.
A dream that we see in night but never achieve in day.
A dream we spend our entire life chasing astray"

The above lines are deep,not that I understood them the first time I read them but now ,
When I have seen the story behind these lines with my own eyes I can say I finally did understood them.You must be thinking who I am ,well not the main lead of this story .
Definitely no
But a boring 5'4 , brown eyes black hair girl which is going to make you fall in love with.
Well I am not an eye candy kind of a beauty but neither am I a cactus kind of ugly.I am just medicore...an average.I am Sophie your dearest
The one who is going to be the narrator of this story.Your host,your crying shoulder,your cursing companion,your hugging best friend...well whatever you will like me to be.But first I must tell you this....this is not a cliche story...no way near.
There is hell lot of drama, cliffhangers, heartbreakers , hate, jealousy and our favourite love.But let me warm you first.
No one is perfect in this story.Especially not our female lead...she has flaws just like everyone does in reality .Don't judge her in the beginning just like I did when I first met her, cause there must be a reason why she is our main lead not me.And our male lead well...you must be knowing his parents story but our handsome boy here is going to make your heart melt again and you are going to fall in love with him.
Wait ,I am jumbling things again right? Let's start from the beginning.
I am Sophie Roger your host and I present before you the story of my best friend aka our male pratagonist Ethan Lockwood.And my bully...no scratch that my saviour / hero Vivian Klein.I know Ethan from the day I first time pissed in my pants in pre nersery school.
Yes, you read it right I a 4 year old shy girl pissed in my pants .I know your next question, weren't you wearing diapers?And well mom forced me to wear them but me being the stubborn kid threw it away the first opportunity I got.Anyway so ya I pissed during class, my peers started laughing , I was going to cry at my stupid self for not listening to mom but then he came like those hero's in supernatural movies.
Shielding me with his frame he spoke with voice clear like a grown up and confidence evident."Why are you laughing? Don't you all piss in those pathetic diapers?"
I swear when I first heard his voice,I knew we will be sticking around together for long.
Thank God my 4 year old didn't know what love was for I would have definately fallen in love with him at first sight.He protected me that day and that day on I clinged on to him forever.
He was my shield, the shield which I proudly call my best friend.Love?
I mean I know you may feel it's impossible.
But in reality every relationship that contains love is not boyfriend girlfriend.Some relationships are lifelong,your backbone and that was what I think we shared.If I was not the one then who?
Well, God has uniquely planned entry and exits of people in our life.But never in hundred years I could have imagined her presence to stay.He hated/ loathed her.
Hell ,even I hated her for her attitude and ego at first.
But then I saw her depths and trust me guys I have never seen anyone like her.She was not an angel,instead she dragged angels to hell.
In highschool I still remember the first day I saw her.The queen bee of our school with 5-10 minions at all times, thousand followers on I*******m,boys kissing her feet and dying for her attention.
She was what you call the bad girl in every innocent shy girls highschool diaries.Her minions bullied and did all her dirty deeds while share barely spoke a word to those below her level.
I have to admit though that she was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.
With those unique green eyes and black hair lethal combination she could be banned by a country for sure.And I could see that she knew this quite well.The rumours said it all.
Rude, sarcastic, snobbish, egoistic and what not.She was straightforward.I still remember how she rejected the boy that tried hitting on her once."You know babe I love your fregrance. If addicts me like a madman...I am obsessed with you Vivian please just please accept my proposal!"
The boy sat on his one knee, proposing to her with an open palm.
While everyone waited for her reply as she casually searched her bag for something.
Finally she did gave him attention but not before placing something in his hand."This is from where the fregrance comes. Take it and get lost"
She says as he looked at the perfume bottle placed in his hands.While the boy looked at her in shock,she casually moved past him with the canteen filled with laughters and snickering
I really liked her guts sometimes.
She rejected boys like tissues and never did relationships.
A proud single because no one matched her standards.Someday's I really wished that I have guts and confidence like her.
But who knew things would change.That she would change .
But then again, time changes people.Some for good while some for bad,but either way we change to survive the storming winds of change.They both were soulmates.
How I know well ....I knew since the first day he saw her.
I am not just his best friend.I am his heart and eyes.I could see that look and identify it anywhere.
It was not lust nor infatuation.
It was love that I only read in books.The nature told me this, I would have been a fool to ignore it.
It gave me signals, it showed me but I was blind initially.When two soulmates are bound to meet coincidence is the best card that God plays.
He will show you but it's upto you if you see it or turn a blind eye.I saw it but he didn't.
So here I became the so called coincidence,that played a Cupid in meeting these soulmates.
I became the narrator of this love story which was based on heights of misconceptions and hatred but still had a strong and undestructible base of what we call
Love
But sadly my plans didn't go as expected and God decided to play the master card of Ace at a perfect time.
And instead of being the meeting point in their journey, I became the biggest crevice between them.

Live in present is what my elders used to say but then what if the present was tied to the past you tried everyday to forget?The past that was tied to me.I thought if fate was a thing in real they will meet again at a divine timing.And they did meet.Today on 31 St July, 2021..............................................A fall doesn't define you, it's the very basis of gravity.What defines you is,If you decide to get up and fight adversity or stay rooted blaming it on your destiny.As in palmistry it is rightly said.Our left hand is that destiny we are born with, while our right hand shows the destiny we make.And she will make sure she makes a masterpiece from it.- suzangill©...........................

"When they say ,they hate themselves.I wonder how the creator will feel, getting cursed by his own creation when he thought.He made the most beautiful individual known as a human being." - by suzangill©..................................................... Vivian povI walk down the street, my mind repeating the words he just said to me."Wh***? He called me a whor*?When he knows he was the first one I did it with.The first man I trusted enough to give my soul and body.Fresh tears leave my eyes and I see the people staring.Why are they always staring? Don't they have anything else to do?Ignoring I fasten my footsteps,to only have my ankle burn wit
"I thought our roots were deep and unmoving.But it only took one storm.For our love to be uprooted and ailing.............................................."You are 10 minutes 5 second late. Miss Vivian."He says, boring holes into my eyes as I look down.Shifting my weight from one leg to another."Eth-...Sir you see what happened was-"He shows me his hand, asking me to shut it as he focuses on a man standing next to him, seeing the files he was offering.Ignoring me.Biting my lip,I try to calm my breath till they engage in this conversation.My twisted ankle from yesterday is swollen now and walking hurts like sh**.But he doesn't wish to even hear the truth, thinking it to be an excuse.Fine with me. He can think whatever he wants to.15 minutes of ignoring me,
Ethan Lockwood pov 8:12 pm Lockwood OfficeI look at the clock and sigh. I guess tonight is again gonna be a sleepless nightI have so much work to do.Looking back at the contract papers,I was proof reading it one last time when my phone rang."Hello""Good evening Mr Lockwood. Secretary of FW Financers this side.""A very good evening Mr Ray. How were the samples?"I say massaging my forehead and leaning back in my seat."That's why I called Sir Lockwood. Today was the last day for the samples to be submitted however we haven't received them till now."I straighten up, my eyebrows narrowed."What do you mean you h
"Your love took me to new heights.While your hate threw me from where there was no respite.Yet I stood up , not giving up this fight.Because the heart which learned to love you, was first a trainee of mine.And my own reflection?The first love of my life.- Vivian( by suzangill©).....................................................Present" What do you mean by you dropped her here?""How can you leave a girl alone on this deserted road!"I screamed at the old man, the very taxi driver who brought Vivian here.My anxiousness coming out in form of frustration."I understand your concern Sit. But the girl was persistent. She wanted to reach some place urgently and she didn't wait for help"I run my hand through my hair.
Vivian pov"Can you please stop moving for once Vivian?"He says irritated and my grip on his collar tightens. It's not the easy , my back is killing me and I know it's not just a sprain.Sharp pains hit me every few minutes and I bite my lip to hold in my screams.Trying to conceal it from him."I...I am sorry....""If it's too much...you can place me down."He just looks down at me with a look of distaste and shakes his head in a no."Ethan please -""Shut up Vivian. I am not in the mood of a fight here. Being stuck with you here is already bad enough. Don't make it worse"And that's when I zip my lips and just laid my cheek back on his chest. Thank god my make-up and concealer are waterproof,or he would have easily seen my scar till now.The wet cloth
I wake up from the beautiful memory to only land onto a hospital bed.An irritating tube attached to my hand as I guard my eyes using it,trying to block the blinding lights."Aghhhh"I say to only have someone dim the lights, the creases on my forehead vanishing as I finally look around."Good morning, how are you feeling?"I just stare at a lady standing beside me for few seconds.To realise where I was...at a hospital.Not fond of them but definately acquainted well."What happened?"I ask rubbing my forehead to see the doctor beside me, adjusting the drip."A ligament tear, a minor fracture in prosterior of vertebra and a sprained ankle."I just take a deep breath to only hold in a scream.Fuc*!My back hurts like shi*. And breathing hurts even worse. The doctor takes in my painful expression a
