She led a complicated life. People would call her crazy if they knew the philosophy behind it but she never said a word to anyone. Just accepted the fact that people thought she was crazy and gave them all the reason to wonder. She also held an appeal; no one could unravel the mystery behind her. She was also pining over a broken heart, a heart so damaged that she was scared of even thinking of the institution of love. She knew her limits and she took refuge in fantasy. The only place where she would be truly and completely happy.
He, on the other hand, was so much into reality that no one could deter his enthusiasm to live. His philosophy was just to live each day like it was his last. There was nothing that could discourage him when he decided to do something. He always took challenges that came his way and conquered them and the scarce ones he couldn’t, he tried again and again, until he succeeded. There was this drive in him, a drive that everyone envied. But like everybody else, he was human after all. You cut him and he would bleed. 
These two people were opposites in every way. Happy and sad, hot and cold, witty and depressed. 
But, like they say, opposites attract and when that happens all hell breaks loose.

Check out my Instagram page: gold_n_dark for aesthetics and songs for the chapters. One in a million. The chances of them meeting were one in a million. And yet... They met. And more came. Neither of them met love until now. Each one had different reasons. One was too stubborn, arrogant, heartless and careless to want love; the other one was too kind, happy, hopefull, optimist and dreamy to see the love around her. Maybe that's why they attracted each other. Because they completed each other. The good - her - and the bad - him. But not quite... She could also be strubborn, grumpy, proud, impulsive; and he... he would be wearing a mask. A mask which made him seem harsh and impassive. But once he would take the mask off, it would relieve the wounds, the pain, the worries, the hope and above all, the love. They have many things in common and at the same time they are completely different. They could've not met, and yet they did. They could've not fallen in love, and yet they did. They could've forget and move on, and yet, they couldn't. In Nicole and Jake's story, at the beginning everything is about hate and how they can't stand each other, about how they would give anything to not be near each other. But everything ends with love and about love. Their love. And how it consumes them and it drives them insane. But they love that. This is their story. Nicole and Jake's story. It's about love: being in love and loving someone; about being broken and hurt and hurting the people around you; about growing up and becoming an adult. It's about being human.

-- PROLOGUE "Let me get this straight. We have nothing in between us, except for the deal we made that day" he spoke in a monotonous tone. "I am the one carrying your name behind me; we are married. how can you say we have nothing in between us? Huh" She yelled at him, tears blurred her vision, and she spoke her heart to him. "For god's sake, this marriage was to save you! Can't you get that? I did not do it willingly, I do not love you!!" He yelled back at her, shattering her heart into pieces. "Why can't you just love me?" She spoke, as she cried the tears of hurt, and pain. Her heart thumped loudly due to the shivering sensation She felt all over her body. "I never made a commitment to you, or gave you any false hope, neither did i say that i love you. Did i?" He asked her, in a very cold tone. She looked at him through her teary eyes. It's getting difficult for her to even breathe. "It was your eyes, the damn eyes. Who gave me the false hope. They say, "Eyes speak the truth," but what about mine? Couldn't you feel the sincerity within them, expressing my deep affection for you? Why didn't you see the love shining in them? Was it too complex to understand? Couldn't you notice the warmth as they gazed at you? They search for you in every corner, If only you realized how they silently echoed the emotions I couldn't articulate. They say, "Eyes never deceive." But what about yours? They played a trick on me when they met mine, painting a facade of a world that wasn't real. They made me feel loved, Leading me into a belief that crumbled, louder than your spoken promises. Why did they betray me? Was it your eyes or you that masked the truth?" He stayed still, not moving or saying anything at her statement. --

"You're unbearable!" He kicks her with utter contempt. "Please tell me where I'm wrong, causing you discomfort was not my intention," she said crying, causing him to hit her against the ground again. "Do you think you can live with good intentions? Didn't you have all the time you wanted to change and learn? You still dare to ask for more!" He yells at her with hatred, he blamed her for being the one will cause a woman to be beaten; He didn't want to be that kind of man. However, what he lived with her caused him to bring out what he hated the most about himself from within. -Forget it love- said a woman who was next to her- it's not worth it- this dog was supposed to be her friend, she was supposed to support her just like she did; however he managed so that he and she hated each other and thus be able to steal it. The woman on the floor does not know how much she was framed and harmed by her naivety, nor did she know that this was the beginning of her misfortunes. Because of that woman she did not stop suffering, wherever she went she suffered verbal or physical abuse and everything was orchestrated by this woman; she didn't know until she was about to faint. "Why?" She asked this unarmed woman without knowing why she hated him so much. She never did anything to hurt him. She just laughed viciously without answering him, she didn't have to waste her time with an insect; leaving La to die imprisoned in the house where she was kidnapped. "Answer me!" She got up from her bed screaming "Eh? This looks like my room; Did I reincarnate myself in the past?" She ran to the bathroom just to see that her assumption was correct. She thanked the heavens for this second chance by promising that she wouldn't be fooled a second time.

Being rewritten Love can come in Any form whether it be a simple smile, or a passionate steamy snog, it's still considered love, it is just shown in different ways... You look around and see all these different types of couples, but all relationships are put into the 3 categories. There is the couples that look perfect for each other, then there are the couples that everyone wants to be like everybody wants the bond those two individuals share, and then there are the couples that look like polar opposites, the couples that look like they definitely do not belong together. See me as my own individual find those couples like the last one so intoxicatingly intriguing. They don't pay attention to how they look together. They only seem to care about the love that they share. So not only does love come in many different forms, it can also come from many different things. You See with Liam Payne, he is met with as far as he is knows is just some psychotic lunatic. But slowly he learns to just accept his fate, earning a serious case of Stockholm Syndrome, only problem is Liam is a bit of a scaredy-cat, he's got many fears, even for stuff he knows or at least thinks isn't real, like demons, and vampires. Zayn is Liam's captivator, and he isn't psychotic or a lunatic. He gives Liam love in all forms, such ass hugs, cuddles, presents, trips, gifts, jokes, kisses, sex, and protection. Zayn literally does everything a Vampire can do possibly can for his human, without being know as one.
