CHRISTIAN WITH A DASH OF ROMANCE.
Is beauty a curse? Is it a curse when all everyone sees is the beautiful outside and not the wounded soul hiding inside?
The world has never failed to remind Mia Taylor that she's as pretty as they come.  Her appearance has been used to the benefit of others. 

It's no wonder she considers her beauty a flaw, an inconvenient thing that has chained her down. 

She swears never to do anything to draw more attention to herself but desperate circumstances force her to enter a career in modeling. And even as she lets herself be put on a pedestal, she continues to loathe that quality. 

But as Mia grows closer to God and good friends, she realizes her beauty isn't a thing to be hated and that she has a right to embrace not just her inner beauty, but her outer beauty.

The Stars Choose Our Lovers by cjacks1124
112 parts Complete
I was 5 years old when I met Mia. I knew I loved her from the day I met her. We did everything together, and we were inseparable. People judged us. All eyes were on us because she is black and I am white. We didn't mind because we were each other's light during the darkness of their stares. I never understood why it is so easy for people to hate, as opposed to love. Kindness is contagious, and we all should pass it along. I fell in love with Mia. Her flaws were perfect in my eyes, and I knew she would always be my Mia. I love her just as much as the bees love honey. I love her so much to the point her love is the only unconditional love I ever knew. Sad, but dreadfully true, when I look in Mia's eyes, I wonder, does she feel the same way about me. Am I her light? Does she accept my flaws, and are they perfect in her eyes? Am I the sun to her desert? Am I her rainbow after a rainy day? I hope she loves me just as much as I love her. My biggest concern is-after all the years we've been best friends, will our parents accept us? I'm scared. I'm afraid that if I tell Mia how I feel, I will lose everything we have built. I keep asking myself, should I express my feelings, or should I keep them to myself? I deserve to be loved, right? I will never know unless I take a chance. Will I have the courage, or will I let my true love slip away? I've always believed that the stars choose our lovers. I wonder did the stars choose Mia for me?
