Hey guys

Ok so I don't own anything! (just wanted to get that out before I forgot!) Please Please Please review and tell me if I should keep going. I would love to make this my second chapter story!

Percy will make a grand entrance soon, this is sort of a background so don't be too disappointed please

Please R&R!

The bell rang finally, blissfully ending the endless torture of Calculus. I had always been one for school, but now my B average was perfectly acceptable to me, maybe not my parents, but I had a other things to worry about now I guess. I stood up, scratching my plastic chair against the tiled floor and grabbing my red and black messenger bag at the same time. My dark purple painted nails grabbed my water bottle (which much to my disappointment did only contain water and not something exciting like kool aid or vodka) and my feet lightly covered in my dainty flip flops treaded toward the door. My jean skirt seemed to attract the attention of one nerd toward the front of the class (obviously) because he dropped his book and had to get on to the floor and look up at me to get it. I made a mental note to wear tights with this skirt next time, or at least granny panties. I rolled my eyes and kept toward the door when I was grabbed off my feet and into the arms of Luke. My boyfriend of a few months has this thing with walking me to all of my classes, cute at first but it's a little uncomfortable not having any time with my friends in school now and Luke isn't really big on me spending time with them at home either. He thinks my time is time to spend with him.

Luke put me down and got his first look at me.

"What?" I asked once I saw his face. This isn't the first time I've gotten this face, I'm just waiting to see which article of clothing it is now.

"Why didn't you wear the tights I bought you for that skirt? Beth really you look like a slut."

My eyes widened, that was the first time he had said that to me in public.

"Look Luke I didn't think I needed them, maybe next time ok? I've got to go, you know if I'm late to English again Mrs. Stoven is going to give me a detention!" I moved to walk away but his grip on me didn't loosen. "Luke I'm sorry. It won't happen again."

He let go of me and bent to give me a kiss, I smiled knowing I'd been forgiven for being stupid and went onto my tip toes to meet him. We walked to my English class in silence after that.

Fortunately I managed to get there on time and sat down, taking out my spiral notebook and pen.

Today we were going to reference Romeo and Juliet to today's life. And right about there I zoned out. The rest of class was spent productively in a state of semi-consciousness picking at my tight tee shirt and waiting to leave.

Eventually not only English but school was over and I was off to Luke's house! Once I got to my locker to grab my calc. book because I would need to at least attempt to study and my lunch bag I headed toward his car. I made my way through the halls knowing I was going to be late and how upset he would be. As soon as I got into the spring air I heard my name,

"Annabeth!" it was Thalia behind me, running to catch me. I paused briefly before continuing. I wasn't really friends with Thalia anymore. "Annabeth hang on! Beth?" was all she said before giving up completely. Luke wasn't looking at me when I got to the car but at Thalia standing at the doors. I could feel her looking at me, through me to Luke as if Luke had taken me away. Luke always said not to go near Thalia, she had an impact on me that Luke wasn't very fond of. Apparently I got 'mouthy and opinionated' when I was with her. I can't blame him I guess. Thalia just didn't understand that I wasn't who I used to be, I was with Luke and that of course had changed me for the better.

"Hey babe" I smiled from across the car, the glare of the sun on his silver hood making me have to squint uncomfortably. I quickly brushed my Blonde hair out of my face and behind me ears to show Luke I was wearing the earring he had gotten me without needing to say it in an attempt to lighten the tension I knew was rising.

He nodded without bothering to look at me before opening the door and sliding in.

After the awkward few minute drive to Luke's house from school we parked in his spot in the driveway and went up the steps to his front door. Luke's house was beautiful. In ground pool out back, Luke had a room the size of a small apartment; the dining room had a china cabinet worth thousands. My house was moderate in comparison but still upscale. I was always sort of intimidated by Luke's house, sort of like I was him. He always said he needed me that I couldn't leave him but then would see him flirting in the halls. I know it doesn't mean anything because he loves me but it makes me feel like I need to do a better job of making him happy. I can't fail him.

"Want to start homework or go upstairs?" I look at his smirk and smile myself dropping my bag.

The next thing I know up pushed onto his bed, his body following immediately. His fingers are always cold on my skin but I figure that's just because I'm warm now. He is kissing me, my mouth, my neck, down my shoulder… all in the first few minutes. And then his hand found my thigh and edge of my skirt.

I pulled away as always, not ready for that yet. That didn't stop him from trying.

"I told you Luke, I don't think I'm ready for that yet." I moved my hand to push his away but he was having none of it and pushed his hand up a little further.

"Come on Beth, don't be such a prude" and his hand found the edge of my panties.

"Luke! I said no." and with force I shoved his hand off of me and stood up.

"Are you kidding me? Annabeth this is insane. I can't even touch my own girlfriend!"

"I'm not just your girlfriend Luke! I'm a person, a girl, and have don't think I'm ready. So stop. If you love me you'll stop."

He stood up and I was seriously starting to think he wasn't mad. That he was going to stop. And then he put his hand right back at my leg and tried to push me onto the bed.

I grabbed his hair and pulled as hard as I could, he grunted at let go quickly.

I didn't look back as I took off out into the dark.

Hey guys! Ok so Annabeth is in an abusive relationship and is now out in the dark. Oh crap! Please let me know if you think I should continue! And please review!
