A note from the author
This is my second book. I have always loved writing and I hope you will enjoy this. If you are hoping to become an author, all the advice I could suggest would be to read. Reading is my inspiration and it helps me upgrade my vocabulary and spelling. Hopefully it will do the same for you.
Prologue
Have you ever had something about you that you wish no one knew about? Ever had a secret that you would kill to keep it hidden?
Starting a new life might be hard... but what if you constantly had the reminder of your past staring at you... threatening to release and reveal all your dirty little secrets?
CHAPTER 1
tia
A new life. That's what they told me. A way out. Going some place where no one knew me; no one knew my past.
It's my birthday next week tuesday. I should be excited but I can't be. I get this nausea in the pit of my stomach, that won't leave me. The constant reminder from what she said to me all those years ago.
"You'll never get away with it. You might have now but if will always haunt you. Some things never stay hidden".
Awake. That's how they all end. With that reminder. I can be having the time of my life in my dreams but she always worms her way in.

Ever felt true love? I have. When I first laid eyes on Tia Eve Mayson I knew she was mine. Her dyed blonde hair was piled on top of her head with tendrils framing her heart-shaped face. She was pale but had a healthy glow about her and her blue eyes pierced through me like a laser beam. That was four years ago. Now she has stripped out the bleach and cut her long locks to her shoulders. The natural brown shines through with the barely visible lowlights from the sun. She's beautiful.

I've caught him again. Staring at me. It's cool but unnerving. I call him BBE. Beautiful Brown Eyes. Those eyes are such an intense shade. One of the reasons I fell for him. Jake. His name's Jake Edwards. My boyfriend. With his adorable butter blonde curls and full lips.
When we first met I was blonde too. You could say I've been all colours of the rainbow, but then I never asked your opinion. I'm very straight-forward. Things are either black or white in my world. Well they are now. In the past...well.
"What are you thinking about?". If the staring thing is unnerving then the fact that he always interupts my thoughts is down right irritating. And it's usually to ask me what I'm thinking about. "Nothing much.". It's always my answer and you can tell it fustrates him. I don't understand why he always has to know.

I hate that answer with a passion. She's so deep in thought all the time. I feel like I'm intruding and prodding to get into her heart. It's like she doesn't see how much I love her.

He's gone quiet again. This always happens. I just need my time and space. Why can't he see that?

"You're free to leave Miss Keller." I look up to see the policemen unlocking my cell. Ten years. Ten years I've been locked up for something I didn't do. I kept telling them; pleading with them to listen to me. But they wouldn't. Said they had evidence. Evidence that I "accidently" killed Tom.
