Elliot Bishop has never really had a fantastic life. With her mother leaving her alone with her father and her young and older brothers at the young age of six, she's had to grow up in a house full of boys. Getting a job at the young age of thirteen wasn't the hardest part, neither was the fact that her older brother deserted his family at the age of 18, not looking back. The hardest part was staying up and writing scholarship after scholarship so she could get into her dream school, and finally, have something to prove to her father; Money. 

  Wyatt Owens has had it all. With all the money his family had, he didn't need a single cent of it for his college choice. You know, having a full ride in baseball and academics really helps with that. His high school life was like anyone else's except for one major detail that will come up at the wrong time; his daughter that he has had to raise on his own since the moment she was born. Of course, maybe he won't have to do it alone for long. 

  When Elliot and Wyatt meet in the huge halls of UCLA, they start to question the world. Wyatt seemed to really need Elliot, almost just as much as Elliot needed him. Was this fate playing with them, or were they actually meant to be?
