Unlike Any Other
Prologue
The day started like any other, wake up, sit on the edge of my bed for roughly ten minutes and then force myself to the bathroom for a shower and to quickly brush my teeth. Everything exactly as it had been. I leaned against the counter with my back to the mirror wrapped in a plush white towel waiting for my body to dry and staring at the white marble. When did it begin to take so much effort to get ready for the day? Sighing, I turned around and picked up the wide tooth comb and began running it through my hair. I wrapped a hair band around my hair and applying a bit of mascara, called my appearance good. Everyone always noticed the dark circles under my eyes, even though they never said anything.
I used to not have these circles, I used to wake up and jump into action, but ever since Riley and I got together things have been tough. My nights now consisted of homework and accusations, and fighting until early hours of the morning. He wasn't always like this, overbearing. Jealous. It seems though, that the longer we are together, even though I have never betrayed his trust, he trust me less and less. He makes it hard to smile sometimes, but I didn't get a choice in if we were together or not. Our families have had this arrangement since before I was even born. I've tried to leave, but I have nothing to take with me. No money of my own, and I have tried to fix this. The moment I began working, however, that was when the problems arose. Riley began accusing me of cheating, saying that I wasn't actually working, that I was seeing other men when I was away from him. When he told my parents about what I was "up to," they threatened to cut me off. No money, no security, no home. No family.
I quickly threw on a pair of light blue jeans and a plain lose T-Shirt, and walked out the door sliding on my shoes. Every morning Riley and I stopped at the coffee shop on campus to grab a bit, I had to pay of course, because he never had any money. He always spent it partying, and gambling. Not a very secure future, I know. However, this morning I decided to pass on 'tradition' and go straight to my class. I got there early enough to sit in the back away from everyone. It was a five minute walk from the co-ed dorms to the English building, and I already had eight messages from Riley.
Hey! Goooooood morning lovely.
Where are you?
I thought we were on for coffee!
You need to text me back NOW.
Ness, don't ignore me!
Listen here you ungrateful brat, don't make me tell our parents about this!
Ness, Im sry that was rude, please talk to me.
FINE! Have it your way. I don't need to have breakfast with you, I can get any girl I want, just know that!
I slid my phone back into my pocket not bothering to message him back, he was already in a mood and I wasn't prepared to make it worse. I knew that just one message from me would set him off. I had about ten minutes until class started, so I lay my head down and waited for everyone to flood into the room.
A.N. - Sorry that it is short, this is my first twilight story I have wrote. I just wanted to give the prologue so that you could get an idea of where the story might go and some of the history of it. I'll be posting the first chapter later tonight, I hope you enjoy! Please review.
