Travis and Abby later on find themselves bumping into each other more frequently as for the fact that Abby now attends to Eastern State University and also simply because of the fact that Shepley ( Travis's cousin and best friend and also his roommate) is dating America ( Abby's best friend). Travis Maddox and Abby Abernathy first meet in an underground fight event where he protects her from some guys in the crowd who keep on pushing her.

He never took the risk of loving someone ever again (besides family) after his mother's death because he hasn't found the right girl, and that was until Abby Abernathy came and shook his whole world. Every girl in Eastern wants him but he has his eyes out for Abby - and only Abby. He was also afraid to love someone and get attached to them because of the fear they might leave (this fear was formed by his mother's death). Before Travis met Abby he was a heart breaker and had tons of one night stands and commitment issues - he was sleeping around and he also had a bad reputation on Eastern. Abby is the only one that can calm him down but she can also get on his last nerve and under his skin like no one else can, which he uses as an excuse to justify some of his abuse of her. Travis seems to be horrible at poker, but makes up for it with his fighting abilities - he is light on his feet and he moves and punches quickly, and he never gets knocked out. He seems very protective and passionate about the things he loves especially when it comes to Abby. Travis shows his jealousy by resorting to violence against other men who try to get close to Abby. Travis admits that Abby is the second woman he has ever loved, the first being his mother. There are also references to him writing term papers with ease. This is proven true when he helps Abby study and pass her biology test. However, Travis is described as intelligent, and seems to sail through his classes easily. Abby refers to him as 'every woman's dream' in Beautiful Disaster. Cami refers to him as 'sex on a stick' in Beautiful Oblivion. Travis is described often as charming and alluring. He gets what he wants and never loses a fight. He is also magnetic, volatile and controlling. Travis is charming, handsome, humorist, witty, smart ass, a little bit arrogant, aggressive, sarcastic, cocky and impulsive. He's tall, has cropped dark brown/blackish hair, deep brown eyes, a charming white smile and a deep dimple in his left cheek. He also has a cut on one of his eyebrows. Travis is described as lean and muscular, and covered in tattoos.
