Of course there are. No matter how bad someone may be, he or she is loved by someone and will be missed if they're not there.

First, "story" might mean more than one thing.
Then, the answer to your question is elementary, since no facts will be referred to in the same way by two different narrators.
So let's get to the interesting part. If you leave the facts aside, since we only get into contact with interpretations anyway, as old Umby puts it, there's intentio auctoris, intentio operis and intentio lectoris. If you forget about intentio operis, and take a story told/written by 2 authors/commentators/witnesses and 178 665 readers/listeners, you should be able to get at least 357 332 sides of the story. Now, if every reader/listener interprets the story once considering the first narrator, once considering the second, and once considering both, and if you consider not 2, but 3 intentio auctoris (the third formed by the intention of the 2 narrators combined), you'll get 535 998 sides of the story.
Then again, if you considered the story related by a third witness too, ...

Because the story is always subject to adaptation by the person relating it. No matter how much one wants to be objective, complete objectivity is impossible, and that means someone else relating the same story will not have seen it the exact same way.

there are no sides to a story,
only a story with a viewpoint
and everyone has a different viewpoint ~
because language can create an illusion
with one paragraph rearranging the words .......

Absolutely. My side is always the correct version,because I tell it the way it happens. Most people like to embellish a bit.

Yes, because perception vs fact can blur
