Whether it's juggling multiple jobs, or surviving on barely enough, Zora meets every challenge with an unshakable smile and a determination to make the best of life. As she steps into college, she dreams of new beginnings and possibilities. But her world collides with Alexander, the epitome of coldness and cruelty. With his sharp jawline and sharper tongue, he's feared and revered by everyone. Ruthless, heartless, and unapproachable, Alexander makes it his mission to break Zora's cheerfulness, vowing to turn her college experience into a living hell. Despite his relentless torment, Zora refuses to let him dull her sparkle. Her unyielding spirit begins to crack the icy walls around Alexander's heart, and he's torn between his desire to destroy her and an unfamiliar warmth she awakens within him. As sparks fly and emotions intensify, both Zora and Alexander must face their own scars and vulnerabilities. Will her unwavering light be enough to thaw his cold, ruthless exterior? Or will Alexander's darkness consume them both?

Beauty & Her Bruises by anonymousamyleeme

When you feel like your world comes crashing down, you just want to die. When you fall, you don't want to get up. When you're hit, you let it back. When you bleed, you watch it trickle down your body. When you're broken into millions of pieces, you let the pieces lay there. When you're dying inside, you don't make a noise. Zara is the girl in the back of the classroom who's afraid to voice her opinion against everyone else. She's afraid to look anyone in the eyes. She's even afraid to trudge down the halls of the school but she does it because she has two things keeping her there. 1) Liam. Her best friend. He's the reason that she's not dead, literally. She's never attempted to suicide but her classmates have attempted to kill her. He's the big, muscular teddy bear that every girl wants on their shoulders. The only reason he hangs with Zara? He has a secret that, if found out, he would be in Zara's position. 2) Father. Even though she has bruises from being beat, broken toes from heels, and mental scars from the names, it's much less worse than what father does to her. Of course, no one knows he does it. If Liam found out, he would be her knight in shining armor. Unfortunately when they have a falling out, Liam isn't there to save her when she needs him the most.
