One shitty breakup can really mess you up for good. Or so Sofia thought until she met Austin Post. She thought she didn't deserve a second chance at love so she was always to afraid to try it with someone new... will it work out in her favor or will she continue to let her anxieties bring her down. 

Backstory: 

This is Sofia DeGross, sister to famous photographer Adam DeGross. She is an ER nurse that works in LA and has been super busy these last few years and hasn't seen her brother that lives in Salt Lake City, in a very long time. Adam has been with his longtime girlfriend for about 6 years now and has finally proposed and they are getting married. The story starts off with Adam and his fiancé, Christine ( I just made up the character) throwing an engagement party at one of Adams best-friends house.

Sofia Rodriguez thought she had it all. A boyfriend she loves and who loves her, her job as a content creator, two best friends with whom she experiences and shares everything, and the dream of making her own music, which she is chasing. But what if the relationship she always thought was perfect, like her parents', isn't perfect at all and one night can turn her whole life upside down? What if your entire life goes completely off the rails and you no longer really know what you want in your life? And as the saying goes? One bad thing is usually followed by a thousand others. But what if all these setbacks lead to something bigger? An opportunity that Sofia never expected to get. A new life, a new zest for life and all because of her two best friends, new friendships she makes and an all-too-familiar Formula 1 driver who shows her how beautiful life can be. However, being in the spotlight is not always an advantage, especially if the press is just waiting for you to make mistakes. Lando Norris can tell you a thing or two about that. But when he meets Sofia, he quickly realizes that she doesn't see him as a Formula 1 driver, but simply as himself without all the prejudices. But having deep scars from the past like Sofia and a playboy reputation like Lando doesn't make it easy for either of them. Can the two of them fight for what they have and are they strong enough for this fight? _ DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the characters except Sofia Rodriguez and her associated story. This story is pure fiction and no matter what is written here, it is not a judgment towards any of the characters. Most of the characters in this story exist in real life, and not everyone will like everyone, but I don't want to spread hate or anything else with this story. It will deal with sensitive topics such as depression, self-harming behavior, abusive behavior, toxic relationships. Before you read this story, please be aware of this and decide if you can really handle it.

Best Life

52 parts Complete Mature

After her life reaches new lows, Katie moves on to try and make a new start. Her grief follows her and her unbridled anger threatens to take an even tighter grip on her life. Until she meets Adam. Can he show her a better way to handle her grief? Can she learn to trust him? Will his mesmerising smile be enough? Will she discover what having the best life really means? ________________________________________ I have issues. Lots of them. But I'm mostly angry. I'm too much for most people. Just the way I fucking like it. It's much better for everyone to just stay the hell away from me. My safe happy angry life. So why does the universe insist that we keep crossing paths? And why does he insist on fucking smiling at me every single time? ________________________________________ I have to admit, when I first laid eyes on her at the bar, I could barely breath. She was stunningly beautiful without even trying and although she left without saying a word, the way she looked at me with those pretty eyes had me hooked and wanting to be able to see her again. I wondered about the who, what and why she felt like she needed to run like that. Her obvious defence tactic is that angry scowl she wears like armour, protecting herself from any harm and dissuading anyone from attempting to get too close. I plan on getting as close to her as fucking possible, if she'll just stop running.
