First day of summer and I wake up to the slamming of the front door and screeching of tires against the pavement outside. I crawled to my closet door using the handle to pull myself up hissing in pain, I opened it and grabbed my stained sweatpants and black long sleeve V-neck along with my underwear.

As I enter the bathroom taking my time because the pain I feel whenever I inhale, I instantly turned on the warm bath so it could start to fill up while I got unchanged. I already knew I couldn't leave the house unless I was told to as I look at myself in the mirror my miserable life worse I had huge bruises covering my ribs and stomach area just by the pain I was feeling it was more then likely a bruised rib too.

Looking at my face just made my self-esteem drop even more although it was already low, I had a huge scratch across my cheek from Shelby, my lip was split open with dried blood on it, and above my temple was a enormous blueish purple lump from being punched and dropping to the wooden floor.

After soaking in the tub for a half hour I got up going down the stairs to get a bowl of cereal and I noticed the note on the fridge.

After you get your nasty ass off the floor of your room do our chores which include the dishes, clean the pool, clean the dog shit in the yard, laundry, mow the lawn, vacume the house ( don't think of going in my room I don't need a disease from you in there call Rose for that), and give Lucy a bath. If you miss one thing I'm pretty sure mom will teach you a very promising lesson she was pretty pissed this morning so you know what that means later
~Shelby

Glancing at the clock it read 8:00 which means I better start it all now or else I won't finish in time! After calling Rose to do Shelby's room I chased Lucy around then gave her a bath, I started the dishwasher and a load of laundry then I changed into my bikini Rose bought me a while back when we used to talk and proceeded outside.

I cleaned up the yard and started to skim the pool until I heard chattering looking to the yard to my left I saw a beautiful brunette lady deep in conversation with someone just inside the back door. Jumping out of the now clean pool I wrapped my towel around me quickly so no one could see the abuse from last night then walked over to the back gate noticing the uhaul truck in the driveway next door, I never saw neighbours in that house even though it was beautiful.

Looking back into the backyard I noticed an adorable little brown haired girl about 5 chasing a little chocolate lab and slowly heading my way. I thought it would be a good idea to now introduce myself beings they would be my new neighbors.

I walked back in my house slipping a pair of fresh skinny jeans on, one of my hoodies, white flipflops, and quickly used cover-up to cover the bruises that were visual. I walked out the front door through the iron gates to knock on the door I wasn't going to be rude of course I had to greet them, opening the door was a man with bright blonde hair and vibrant green eyes, nervously I spoke, "Hello my name's Emily I live right next door and from the moving truck in your drive way I'm guessing you are moving in and I'd like to welcome you to the neighborhood!"

"Well hello Emily my name is John Fay, and yes you guessed right. Will you wait a second I'm going to get my wife and daughter real quick so they can meet or new neighbor also?" I nodded my head he then turned to go to the back yard to gather his family.

I slowly let out my shaky breath I didn't know I was holding glancing back at my house I noticed Rose walking out she gave me a quick nod of her head and strolled to her car to then leave. The laughter of a little girl made me turn back around just in time to noticed John walking towards me holding the little girl I saw and following next to him was the wonderful lady I saw out back also.

Flashing me a warm smile she greeted me " Hiya I'm Isabella and this is my daughter Kierstyn, this is a lovely neighborhood you live in!" My nervousness melted away from her mothering tone nodding my head I agreed with her we do have a wonderful neighborhood here it was quite peaceful outside. "I also have a son named Nick he's around your age he's starting school here next year I believe but he's not here right now, would you like to come inside?"

Just then I remembered I did almost all my chores except vacuuming the other rooms and taking a guess Shelby would be back here soon. "I'm sorry Mr and Mrs.Fay but I have to get back over to my house to do my chores but I hope you guys have a good time settling in here by the way you have an adorable little girl!"

Kierstyn looked up at me with her little blue eyes and smiled at me showing her pearly white teeth while her little cheeks turned red she then turned her little head trying to hide her adorable face.

Isabella just chuckled then replied looking me straight in the eyes with her unbelievable icey blue eyes"Emily you may call us by our first names we are neighbors now, don't be a stranger though, we have to finish unpacking so we will let you go" I just nodded my head in reply while waving my hand at them then continued back to the house finish the house.

I sat on the back porch wondering what to do at 7:00 at night, Shelby and Christina went out for the night but not after warning me that Christina needed to "talk" to me when she got back and probably won't be back till 10:00 as usual and I have the house to my self.

Looking around the yard all I saw was the pool lit up brighter then day and nobody was outside so they can't see the bruises I decided to go change back into my bathing suit and take a running start to jump in the pool while under the water it sounded as if something else went in right after me! Slowly surfacing from the bottom of the pool I came face to face with a pair of familiar looking ice blue eyes, I then screamed pulling myself out of the pool to wrap myself up in my fluffy Olaf towel. When I turned around the person was above water I could see his 6 pack clear as day through his white t-shirt, he had short black hair ice blue eyes, he looked around my age and squinting my eyes to see better he had a black lip ring on his bottom lip.

Oh my god who is this hotty in my pool!? And why?

I was then cut off by his loud laughter then covered my mouth my eyes slowly becoming wider when I noticed I had said that out loud. Slowly a smirk formed on his face"I am in your pool because I felt like swimming and I know I'm hot I get that a lot" that's when my temper started to flare, he's probably a conceded jerk judging by his attitude.

"Get out of my pool you creep you don't go in some random persons backyard and go jump in their pool to swim just because you feel like it!?" He then raised his eyebrow at me from my small outburst, then next thing I know I'm being laughed at AGAIN by this random kid who is in MY yard.

"Princess calm yourself and stop being a bitch I'm just swimming"

Feeling uncomfortable I responded "Dont princess me dickhead you don't know me why don't you get out of my yard before something bad happens!" He slowly started walking to ladder climbed out then started walking towards me, when he started getting a little to close I started taking steps backwards away from him until I hit the wall.

Walking right in front of me he came face to face with me before speaking "I do what I want princess, not what you tell me to do. How about you stop acting all tough and bitchy before you hurt yourself there" he smirked then turned away and started walking towards Johns and Isabellas house.

I quickly turned but then heard him talking again from behind making me turn towards the boy "by the way I doubt anything bad would happen by you because your just a buzz kill I doubt you even have friends" with that he walked in the new house not bothering to shut the door quietly.

After turning the back lights off I changed to my fluffy pjs and went straight to bed not bothering to eat. It hit me then he must be Nick Isabella's son but he didn't even know me and guessed right that I had no friends just for the wrong reason.
