CHAPTER 1: Vivienne’s Love Stories I graduated from high school this year. Retracing my high school life, it started with a love and ended with a love.
Spring of my first year,
I hopelessly entered a girls’ high school.
However,
none could anticipate that I immediately fell in love with my art teacher immediately. I was not interested in art or painting. Because of him, I joined the art club with my best friend, 5
Sherry.
Gradually, I got more and more interested
in painting; meanwhile, the teacher left our school to teach at another school, and he didn’t know about how much I loved him. That was the end of my first love, but I wasn’t sad for a long time, and I met my second Prince Charming soon after.
His name was Sam, and he
had a part-time job at Blockbuster near my home. This time, I decided to tell him I loving him. how can he treat me like that! was rejected.
But,
He was cold and I
That was the end of my second love.
After that, I fell in love with different men one after another, all were at first sight, and all ended with nothing. Fortunately, God didn’t leave me alone; he gave me my true love after I had graduated.

CHAPTER 2: Vivian & Black Stones I don’t know where my hometown is; I haven’t seen my parents.
I came here when I was four, and
my grandmother brought me up, but she had died. Now, I rely on the part-time job to live; at the same time, I am making my way toward my dream.

Lotus, Tai, Shawn, and I, we were once “Black Stones”, but not anymore. Lotus, he has a similar destiny as me.
He ran
away from the orphanage, and he has lived by himself from that moment on. I met him at the live show of his previous band, and we were attracted to each other; I think it is because we can feel that our personality is the same, our loneliness is the same, and our anxiety of love is the same. After living together for one year and three months, we broke up.
Lotus decided to go to
London to be the guitarist of a popular band, “Trapnest”, and “Black Stones”, our band, without a bassist, of course, broke up, too. During this time, Tai and I have been looking for 9
different bassists to play the bass for Black Stones, but no one was as suitable for us as Lotus.
Shawn
graduated from high school, and he had to inherit his father’s business; Tai is a lawyer now, he said he wanted to focus on his career, and he didn’t want to earn a life as a musician.
It was obvious that Black
Stones couldn’t exist like this, so we disbanded…. Is it really the end of Black Stones? How about my dream? Is it broken, too? No! I won’t give up so easily, I will go to London, for more chances to make my dream coming true, but not for Lotus… I think….

CHAPTER 3: London Hey, Vivian… Remember the scene we met that first time? Until now, I still believe it was the arrangement made by God… You can laugh at it anyway…but I still believe it firmly….
“Flight A707 to London will take off at 7:30, passengers please go to gate 17 to be ready to board the plane.” “Excuse me, could you please remove this magazine here? “Oh, sure!
This is my seat….” Sorry….”
What a beautiful girl! She’s so different from 11
the ordinary people, slim body, small face, and long curly
eyelashes…
Oh!
The
ring
of
Vivienne
Westwood! How stylish she is! Is she a model…? “Hey, why don’t you sit down?” “Oh… thank you…” I must take a picture with her to show Jason how pretty she is! “Are you also going to London?” “Yup! I am going to move to London, and work there.” Oh, before taking off, I should call to tell Jason the time I will arrive. VIVIENNE.
“Hello, this is
Jason, I will arrive at… …ok, see you!”
and send a message to Sherry. “Wow, you little girls type so fast on the cell phone!” “Little girl?
I am twenty now!”
“Sorry, so you are the same age as me!
I am 12
going to move and work in London, too.” “Really? Actually, my boyfriend and best friends all already went to London to studying…oh, sorry, why am I talking to you about this, you don’t want to listen to it, do you?” “That’s ok, it takes more than five hours to fly to London, and you can talk to me about anything if you want.” “Thank you.
Would you like some wine?”
“Sure!” “Here you are, cheers!” “Cheers!
But for what?”
“For celebrating Jason going to be a university student!” “It’s not my business.” “…Then for celebrating our encounter…” 13
“It sounds good, girls of the same age, take the same flight to London at the same time, it’s a rare coincidence.”
“And, one more, my name is VIVIAN,
same sound as yours…”
Hey, Vivian… Remember the scene we met the first time?

CHAPTER 4: Room 707 “Jason! Sherry and Ken! You all came!” I feel relaxed and unrestrained now, just like coming back to a second home.
Finally, I am here,
in London, where everybody else inhabits. “You must be very tired, flying for five hours…” “Yeah…but, I met a girl on the plane, and…where is she?
Oh! I should ask for her phone number… ”
Good morning! What a nice day!
Today, I am
going to look for a house to rent, and of course, a job! No deposit, cheap, pets allowed, and near the station, it looks great! “Excuse me, could you take me to look around 15
this house?” “Of course, lady, let’s go.” 707! 7! My lucky number! “Lady, how do you feel?
You can’t find a house
with such good condition all the time.
There were
someone else looking around this room, knotty… is the data overlapping?” I am a daydreamer, but I’ve never dreamed about it… to reencounter the girl inadvertently, and I only know about her name… “Vivian!” “Who are you?” “Oh my god! You forget me! How come…? We just met yesterday…” “Ha! Joking, you are Vivienne, right?” “I am so happy to know that you remember me!” 16
“You are also looking for a house to rent?” “Yes!
I like this room, it’s gorgeous!”
“But I’ve decided to rent this room, and I came here first.” “Then… would you like to rent it with me?” “Why? I don’t even know you, it is odd.” “That way, we can share the rent together, and we can take care of each other…” “Let me think about it.’ “Please…and I promise I won’t interfere with your private matters.” “You promise?
Ok, I accept.”
“Wow! Great! I can live with Vivian!” “And we’re roommate now, Vivienne.” At that time, I didn’t know why, but I suddenly wanted to weep.
I really didn’t know why, when I 17
shook hands with Vivian, I felt her hand was so warm, and my heart was warm, too… After moving into Room 707, Vivian and I went to buy some furniture.
And luckily, I got a job at a
furniture shop. “Vivian, I want to buy a CD, ok?” “OK.” “Great, there are some remnants!
Today is the
new album-issuing day of Trapnest, it’s my favorite band and I am a faithful fan! Vivian, don’t you want to buy one? It’s really marvelous! I like the bassist, Takumi most, he’s so cool, but the guitarist, Lotus, is the most popular.” “Lotus…” “What?” 18
“No…nothing, go to pay for it.” “Ok…” I saw a subtle expression appearing in Vivian’s eyes…

CHAPTER 5: New Black Stones “Vivian, do you want to be a professional guitarist?
I saw the guitar in your room.”
“Ha, yes, I play guitar sometimes, but not professionally.” “You are the guitarist of the band, aren’t you?” “No, I am the vocalist.” “Vocalist! So cool! You are my idol!” “You can admire me after you listen to my voice.” “Hey, Vivian, I’ve wanted to ask you for some time, is that a real tattoo, on your arm?
Does it
hurt?” “Yeah, it’s real, and it hurt.
That’s why I can
feel its existence.” “Is it a lily? And why? Is it religious?” 20
“It’s a lotus.” Ring~ ”Ah, some one is ringing the bell, it must be Tai, brining my luggage for me…” “Good evening!” “Shawn! Why are you coming here! Damn it!” “Aha, good! The same reaction as I thought!” “Are you here to play tricks on me?” “Of course not, I’ve brought your luggage to you. Aren’t you appreciated?” “Thank you and you can go now.” “Vivian! Tell you the truth; actually, I come to London not only for the purpose of bringing your luggage, I’ve also decided to live here.” “I don’t want to listen to it.
Don’t forget that
you have to inherit your father’s business.” “I don’t want to inherit it, and I just want to play guitar, for your voice; don’t make me say this so 21
many times… ” Ring~ ring~ ring~ “Ah, my phone’s ringing, hello? Tai?” “Give me the phone! Tai! Please persuade this guy!” “Shawn is serious. Have you listened to the tape? Shawn wrote a new song. It’s great.
If it is sung by
you, it must become unbeatable.” “Tape?” “Here it is my new song…” (Play the music.) “Shawn, you play the guitar, and I want to try to sing it.” Vivian suddenly stepped on the table suddenly, and I was dumbfounded… “Ah, only one is the audience tonight. Hello, Vivienne, we are Black Stones. Welcome to our first show in London, I will let you remember tonight 22
forever!� I still remember the show that night now. There was only melody of the song, but no lyrics, so Vivian was humming with fragmentary English, just like adding some incantation into the song, and I immediately admired the voice. The table is the stage, the cell phone is the microphone, and the moon is the spotlight. Who can perform such a magical show?
I believe only
Vivian can do it in the whole world. After that, Black Stones successfully recruited their new bassist; Tai decided to come to London, work at a law office here, and rejoin Black Stones as the drummer.
I thought it was all because of
Vivian’s magic power.

CHAPTER 6: Rival in Love “Selina!” “Hi, Jason! Are you going home?” “Yeah! I’m going to the station to take the last train.” “Me, too! Let’s run, or we will miss the train!” While I was still immersing in the joy of Vivian rekindling her enthusiasm of singing, I didn’t notice there was a girl between Jason and me, and our love was confronting a serious challenge… “Vivienne!” “What’s going on? Why are you so happy?” “Good news!” “What?” “Black Stones will have our first concert in London!” 24
“Really? That’s great!” “You must come, Vivienne.” “I will! And we have to celebrate it now! Let’s go to the restaurant where Jason is working at, tell him this good news and have a big meal there!” “Good idea! Let’s go!”
“Jason!” “Vivienne? Why…why are you…here?” “Is there anything wrong?” “No…no, wait here and I will order for you soon.” “Ok! Hurry up, we’re all hungry!” After we finished the meal, I decided to wait for Jason to finish his work outside and give him a surprise! “Vivian, thank you for waiting here with me!” 25
“It’s nothing. Ah! Jason is coming!” And what we saw next was unbelievable… “Selina!” “Go away, Jason! I saw your girlfriend, she’s a nice girl, and I don’t want to destroy the love between you two!” “But… I love you!” I can’t believe what I just heard and sew.
I
was dumbfounded, until Vivian said loudly… “Jason! What are you doing, and who’s this girl?” “Vivian? And Vivienne? Didn’t you go home? She…she’s my girlfriend.” “What! How dare you treat Vivienne like this!” Vivian slapped Jason vigorously, for me, and said… “Vivienne, he’s your boyfriend, go and snatch 26
her back!” “No…he betrayed me.
I don’t want to… I don’t
want to see him anymore…” Vivian grasped my hand and took me home. That night, I cried in her arm until falling asleep… I am not mature enough; I can’t forgive someone who has betrayed me.
I lose…completely…
At that time, if Vivian wasn’t with me, I really didn’t know what terrible thing I would do…
27
CHAPTER 7: Trapnest’s Concern “Vivienne, I am back.” “Ah?” “Why are you still so heavyhearted? Because of Jason? The god damned man! You have a letter.” “Oh? concert!
Oh my God! The tickets of Trapnest’s And the first row!”
“Trapnest…” “Vivian, do you want to go with me, please…” “No, I don’t have any interest…” Think back now…I was so unlucky at the time, how could it be possible to get the first low tickets…it must be God, preparing the tickets specially, for Vivian…
28
CHAPTER 8: Endless Story Why didn’t Vivian go with me? I went to ask Tai, and he told me about the relationship between Vivian and Lotus.
I was quite shocked.
However,
I decided to help them reconcile. I am not sure if Vivian still loves Lotus, but I am sure that she has the right to her own happiness. “Vivian, you must go to the concert with me.” “Why? Didn’t I tell you I have no interest?” “Yes, you did.
But…”
“But what?” “Ah, the concert is held in my hometown, I want to introduce you to my family, so you have to go with me…” “Well, you should have told me about this at the beginning, I’m not interested in the concert, but I’m 29
interested in your family!” “So…have you changed your mind?” “Yeah, I will go with you.” That day, at the concert, I fixed my eyes only on Lotus during the whole show, and I sent telepathy out desperately, hoping Lotus could feel Vivian was also there. I could feel Lotus starring at us all the time.
I
turned to look at Vivian, and she was sweeping. I realized Vivian have fallen in love with Lotus again from that moment on.
I grasped her hand
unwittingly, and I really didn’t want to loose it forever. I believe, there is a perfect future waiting for us, and our story is endless.
