Author's Note: This is the love story of Marty and Todd starting from the very beginning when they first met in college. It also includes several other characters as well as their storylines. This story will be submitted in several parts and is based off the hit soap One Life to Live, yet the "history" has been changed somewhat to suit the purposes of this story. Not all the parts of this story will contain erotic sex scenes as there is a plot. First and foremost, this story is a romance/drama, not a sex story. In this chapter, there will be a graphic description of nonconsensual sex as well as other 'disturbing' material, so if you are bothered by that please do not read any further.
Also, I'd like to note that I do not own ABC's One Life to Live or the characters and I will NOT be receiving any payment whatsoever for writing this story. It is intended for entertainment purposes only.
I hope you are enjoying my story. Please don't forget to vote!

The next day was Todd's Calculus Midterm. It was do or die for him. If he didn't get a good grade on this test, he was flunking Calculus. If he flunked Calculus, his dad would make him regret ever being born. He knew that if he got a bad grade, his father would kill him for sure. In the haze of drugs he had consumed the night before, he tried to pass the test.
"How do you think you did?" Powell asked after the test was over and they were walking back to the frat house together.
"I think I bombed the test... and if I did, it's all Marty Saybrooke's fault," Todd quipped.
Marty got through her classes and all her tests with flying colors. She probably could have done it in her sleep. She was talking to a bunch of her friends, and they were all thinking about going to Rodi's. She agreed to go as she wanted to get out and have some fun.
Todd had gone to Rodi's too, but he did not speak to Marty, just glared at her across the room. "Hey, Todd... what's with you and Marty?" Zach asked as he sat down at Todd's table. "You two were all over each other the other night..."
"It's over... I dumped her," Todd lied. "You can have her now... You and Powell can both have her for all I care."
"Great," Zach said with a smirk. He left the table and strutted over toward Marty.
"Hey, babe, you wanna fuck?" he asked her.
Todd watched from the distance, his fists curled as he tried to keep his cool.
Marty glared at Zach. "What?! Do I have a coin slot that says fifty cents for a fuck?" she asked in annoyance.
"NO!" she said in answer to Zach, picking up her beer and walking away. Stupid Todd probably sent him over anyway. She took a long drink from the glass in her hand.

The next day Todd and Powell went to see how they had fared on the Calculus exam. Powell looked at his grade which had been posted on the instructor's door first. "I got a C-!" Powell said happily. "Wooo hoooooooooo!"
"Let me see what I got," Todd insisted, pushing Powell aside.
"Fuck!" Todd screamed, slamming his fist into the door.
"What? What is it?" Powell asked.
"I got a freakin F," Todd said angrily.
"You did?" Powell said in surprise. "But I thought Marty helped you study."
"I thought she did too... That little bitch must have given me all the wrong formulas!" Todd growled. "How did she do on the test?"
"I heard she got an A," Powell replied.
"See, I told you. That little slut. Because of her, I flunked this test! Do you know what's going to happen to me now?!" Todd screamed.
"No, what?"
"I'm going to have to get a full time job now... This means my dad is gonna cut my allowance. And I won't be able to be here for the Spring Fling... my dad is going to KILL ME!!!!"
Todd was so loud that everyone on campus knew he had flunked his Calculus test, he was blaming Marty, and because of his grades, he would not be able to attend the KAD Spring Fling.
Marty came by to check her score on the test... not that she really needed to because she always made good grades. When she saw Todd and Powell there, she groaned and turned to walk in the other direction. Her grade wasn't so important; she didn't want to deal with Todd right now anyway.
When Todd saw Marty, he went absolutely livid. He grabbed her tight in his arms and pressed her up roughly against the nearest wall. "Don't worry, Marty. I am not throwing you against the wall this time for another quick fuck!" he sneered. "Because of you, I flunked my Calculus test. Because of you, I won't get to play football anymore, I lost my Varsity letter, and you've ruined my whole career!"
"Because of you, my whole life is ruined!" he yelled as he glared into her face.
Marty glared back at him. "YOU had better fucking let go of me right now, Manning," she said in a pissed voice. "I tried to help you study! If you'd spend half as much time studying and actually doing any of the work as you did in trying to get into my pants, then maybe you'd have gotten a decent GRADE! Don't you dare blame me because you can't pick up a damn pencil and do the work. I gave you notes! Formulas! And practice questions! I can't take the damn test for you, too!"
"You're going to REGRET this, Marty Saybrooke. Just you wait... you'll regret it... ALL of it!" Todd said as he set her free, not even noticing the bruises he had left on her upper arms. His anger was explosive, but for some reason the part that hurt him the most is that Marty didn't even want him anymore. He walked away, and Powell followed after him.
Marty couldn't believe the nerve of him. He was such a dick-head! She wished she had never laid eyes on him, let alone slept with him. She walked away and left campus, going back to her house, and slamming the door shut behind her.
