Chapter 1

"Hey babe." I felt arms go around my waist kissing my neck. I shivered involuntarily at the contact, "For thee last time. I am not your, nor anyone else's babe. Got that?" I said pushing him into the street.

I hate when this happens. I'm supposed to go get something from the store at night and then Tyler McCall comes out of nowhere. Tyler is way too persistant for his own good. This is why we are here now arguing.

He came back at me full force knocking me to the ground. "Don't you ever, ever talk to me that way again. Got that?" He sneered.

"And who made you my boss?" I asked him coldly.

He growled and lunged at me, succeeding in scratching my face. Blood oozed from my cheek bone down to my now spilt lip. Next I felt the pain of a punch, immediate pain shocked through my entire right eye. After that he made his getaway.

I hate boys, they do nothing but ruin lives. My best friend Nadine told me she'd never leave me, we were best friends forever. Last year Embry Call asked her out and she had made an entire new group of friends. She never spared me another glance since. Same this with Josephine, she ended up hanging out with that group of boys after Brady asked her out. Lastly it happened to Danielle, after Collin asked her out.

I took my limp body back to my car and drove myself back home, on a Friday night where all my ex friends were out having a good time I was going to be home. I walked through the doors of the small secluded cabin that was stationed in the middle of the forest. My dad liked his space from the rest of the world. I guess I took after him, because I liked secluding myself too. I didn't mind living all the way out here it was peaceful, but my mom went clinically insane. She went missing in the forest when I was six years old, I'm turning seventeen tomorrow. My dad has been obsessed with finding some type of DNA evidence of hers for eleven years. Despite his obsession he's a pretty good dad. He doesn't pry in my business, or do any of that other annoying dad stuff. I basically cook for him and clean the house; that's my duty when I'm not at school.

If you asked me if I missed my mother, I'd tell you I don't miss her because I never really knew her. Nadine's mother was like my mother because she was my mom's best friend and really she still is, when Nadine was out I used to go over and talk to Jillian. Jillian took me to get my first bra and she helped me through my first step through womanhood also giving me the 'birds and bees' talk along with Nadine. So for all intensive purposes she was my mother. Nadine's dad is currently in the military so he's stationed somewhere up in Texas. Nadine's brother, Spencer was my best friend until he joined the group of muscular men that all my other 'best friends' ditched me for. I was alone in the world, even Jillian had stopped communicating with me after that. I hated my life.

No friends. No family. No Escape from Tyler.
