1 Chapter one

Note: This is my first book so please bear with me! my editor will be fixing my grammar mistakes so it shouldn't be too bad but it doesn't mean that the plot won't be shitty.

Note 2: give thanks to my friend Seth, without him I wouldn't post this because I'm scared lmao.

Rose Adams P.O.V

"Hey Alex," I said to my 'oh so perfect boyfriend' "How are you?" I asked, hoping he was in a good mood, if he was maybe I wouldn't get as many bruises as usual.

Oh, I guess I forgot to tell you that my 'father' abuses me, and my boyfriend knows about it, he tells my 'father' how I acted, if I caused 'drama' and by 'drama' that means him telling my 'father' lies so I can get beat more, sometimes he even joins in and abuses me too. I've thought about telling the police, but they would think I'm a spoiled rich kid trying to start drama by lying. Sometimes I just wish I could die... You might be wondering why I don't just kill myself? Trust me, I've thought about it, but a few things are keeping me from doing so. For some reason, I keep seeing a guy in my dreams, he's sweet and kind and talks to me, he has short dark blue hair with streaks of light blue. "Same as always sweetie," he said, snapping me out of my daydream. But he seems to be in a good mood so that's good right?

time skip

as we walked to class I saw Rebecca and she hugged me as if her life depended on it. Since my family abuses me, I have to wear long shirts and pants to cover up the bruises, and since I have like 100 bruises, it hurts like hell when she hugged me. Oh right I forgot to tell you who Rebecca is, she's one of my best friends, also one of the very few reasons I don't kill myself.

She dyed her hair a light red, she's kinda short but that doesn't mean she isn't badass. After class, I see her again, but this time with her 'so-called sister' she was adopted but that isn't the reason I hate her, it's because she's a bitch, but she acts like a perfect little angel when Rebecca is around, and honestly it pisses me off, maybes it's because we're 18 and she's 16 but even when Rebecca and I were 16 we weren't bitches like her. It honestly made me sad that I and her couldn't be friends, had she not been a bitch to me then I would've become friends with her. Oh well her loss.

time skip from here to the next day at class

I was five minutes early to class as always, talking to the teacher. although they are 'nice' to me, I know they are just trying to get close to my 'father' because they just want money.

As everyone got here I saw that a new kid was here, I couldn't get a good look at him because he was wearing a black hoodie.

"This is Conner, he's new so be nice." the teacher said, I just looked at her pretending to care. I make a mental note to check out his background later though, but since I already know what they're teaching I can do a quick check to find his last name to make it easier later. as she started going over things I already knew, I started looking up 'Conner' but since she didn't say his last name so that doesn't give me much to go off of. I just checked everything, Instagram, tic tok, Facebook, snap chat. Everything you can think of, any teenager has at least one app to talk to people, even my 'father' let me get the apps even though I never use them. I don't get it, does he even have a phone? I didn't think of this, but then again I love a mystery, I should watch him, but then again would he bring his phone to school or would he keep it at home? then again there's a chance that he doesn't even have a phone! this might take a while to think about.

"Rose, can you solve this question?" The teacher asked me, snapping me out of my thoughts. "yeah, it's-" I got cut off by the bell ringing. "Class dismissed, remember to ask if you have any questions," The teacher said, knowing those who did have a question wouldn't ask because they're too shy or nervous, she always tried to make them feel okay with asking for help but they never did. "Also Conner, can you put your hood down? The school rules say that teachers have to be able to see your face to make sure you're not stoned or anything." the teacher said.

I love how she always spook so freely, like what the teacher would say 'stoned' and not be afraid of getting fired?. She's the only teacher that I feel is honestly nice.

He took off his hood and that's when it hit me. He looks exactly like the guy I see in my dreams, does he remember me? is it he him? is he nice like in my dreams or will he just try to suck up to me because of my 'father'? so many thoughts racing through my head, that I didn't even realize he had left! Alex is all my other classes! There's no way I'll be able to talk to him today, and if Alex notices that somethings up I'll be in deep shit. So I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow... I really wanna just talk to him a lunch but I don't think I can handle too many more bruises and with Rebecca hugging me so hard I don't think more bruises would help me try to act like I'm not in pain, so the only thing I can do is wait until tomorrow.
