A/N: Hey (=

So I am writing this story, just a reminder that this is a all human story. No vampires/wolfs. So basically this story is about Bella going into college and meeting Edward (the typical jock) and then having a best friend (who is Jacob). More Twilight characters will come in the story in later on chapters.

BPOV:

First day of UCLA, first day of a new life. I planned on not running away from my problems, but it was so hard not too. UCLA would be the beginning of an amazing life. He knew why I was leaving, but he denied it. He knew he had me, and that I could never leave him even if I tried. I am talking about my boyfrie- never mind EX Boyfriend.

My problem is that a couple years ago my mom died, and my dad became a drunk and moved away with his "new" wife. Since I recently turned 18, that means that I am an independent woman and can legally not have to stay with my father. I have since been living with my best friend, Alice.

When I went through all of this, I felt hopeless and I felt the need to depend on somebody. I depended on Nathan. I met Nathan when I was a freshman, we were friends, but then things started changing. Nathan became a wrestler, Nathan got muscles, Nathan got friends with benefits, or more politely called sluts. But Nathan left all the sluts and instead wanted to find a girlfriend, an actual girlfriend, and can you guess who was looking for someone to depend on also?...yeah me…..

Nathan used me, abused me and almost killed me once. He was insane. He called me his "slave". I depended on Nathan still because he paid me money, not to sleep with him, don't worry, but he gave me money for doing good things. I felt like a slave. He had a set of rules for me. He told me that if I disobeyed ANYTHING, that I was to leave his presence and NEVER return to him.

With a total of $23,096 dollars from Nathan, I was set for college and he had no clue. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that Nathan's family is rich and has a big house and blah blah blah blah….I don't care, he's a pig.

Since all of this has happened, I depended on my grades, I knew that if I did well in school that I would get into a good college and then my life would restart.

APOV:

Bella walked into my room looking sad ….weird….she always had a happy look on her face.

"Whats wrong Bells?" I said.

"Nothing really, well maybe…" She looked down at her fingers and started playing with them.

"Hun, whats wrong?" Now I was worried.

"Well I got into UCLA." She said looking up from her fingers.

"WOW Bells, that's amazing then why are you sad?"

"Because he'll hurt me if I leave him, Alice, I know he will." She burst into tears.

"Oh Bells, don't worry about him, he doesn't matter anymore, with all that money you saved up you can leave and stay away, I can buy you a phone with unlimited everything, it will only cost an extra $15 on the phone bill then we can talk ALL the time."

"Alice, no, that's not what Im worried about, for all I care, I can just get a job and get a really cheap plan. Im worried about him Alice."
