"Star" Soul Mark AU (PART 1 out of 2)

In a world filled with millions and millions of people, it's a wonder how you'd be able to find your other half. The deities that rule the heavens decided to help every wandering soul in their search. It is said that one is born with a specific mark on their body that would only appear two times in your life. The first, being the moment wherein you were born. The last being the moment you met your soulmate. Nowadays, people have already forgotten and disregarded such an age old concept, because what are the odds for you to meet that person out of millions? I never stopped believing that I could find someone perfect for me, but I'm already 29, where could she be?

The very first time my mark appeared when my father held me in his arms after being born. A bright light engulfed my tiny body and once it dimmed down, the character for "Star" appeared on my neck and then disappeared. My parents then knew I would be someone great.

Over the years, they never stopped pushing me to become someone who in their eyes could outshine the stars. They had me try different things from academics to sports. But, out of everything I've tried nothing else had drawn me in aside from music. That's when it hit my parents, this is their 'star.'

Fame and prestige followed after this discovery. I became the consistent winner of music competitions all over the world. With my good looks, I have received offers for modelling and acting to go alongside my musical career. I went with the flow hoping to bring happiness to my parent's lives, but why is it that they never said "Son, I am proud of you." I am one of the biggest stars in this universe, but why is it that I do not feel as if I am shining.

"Class, today we are going to discuss about soulmates"

"Soulmate?"

"Yes, a person who will come one day that perfectly complements you, who will love you for the rest of your life."

"Maybe she will be able to love me…I know she will!"

29 years later, I still feel dull. I put my career on hold despite it being against my parent's wishes. I am lost without any inspiration to write or compose. My friends decided to support me, but it is not enough. I need a break. I decided to go on a trip abroad. Hopefully this trip to France may do me some good. I feel a tingling sensation on my neck as I wait for my plane to board. Huh…weird, the airport must be a bit colder than usual then.
