* First book in the Hidden Series *
There are 2 ways to keep a secret.
One is by covering it all up. Pretending that another idea is the truth. Changing and twisting the original idea to protect yourself, change your identity. One example of this i...
" Now Quinn, I'm gonna teach you how to fight," He said. " Have you seen me?! I can't fight!" I exclaimed, pushing him back. " Maybe you can't now, but after some training lessons you'll be amazing, you've got a beautiful body that's perfect for this kind of thing, and you're a fast runner, we both know that, so trust yourself for once, and trust me,"
I found it very hard not to blush.
I leaned forward and gave him a small kiss on the cheek. " I love you y'know," I smiled at him. " I love you too, it's us two against the world baby," He winked.
To think we're 14 and this in love. If only we really knew what love meant.
A couple hours had passed and I'd already learnt how to properly punch and some ways to get out of a head lock. " You're a fast learner," He smiles at me.

I take the keys from Jonah and turn the car on as he sits next to me. The large roar the engine gives startles me slightly, but Jonah nods at me for reassurance.
" I guess we should start with actually trying to drive," He smirks. " Yeah...so what do I do first?"
The rest of the night was just me driving normally, and when it was midnight, I had managed to accomplish that.
"You're a fast learner," He says, putting his hand on my shoulder. I look to the floor. " So I've been told,"
" It's late, we should be heading back," He says, after watching me for a couple of seconds. I guess he took note of my reaction of what he said before.
" What are going to do with my car?" I ask, my smile widening a little when I said 'my'. " You're driving it," He smirks. " What?!" I exclaim.
5 minutes later and I'm sat in the car, and Jonah in his next to me. " For once I'll go slow, since that's probably what you'll be going at," He smirks again.
" Ugh, is that a challenge?" I smirk back. " Maybe," He shrugs.
Oh it's on.
I start my car and before I can acknowledge what's happening I'm going extremely fast. " Oh Yeah, by the way you can hear me through you're car's audio," I hear. " Ugh stop distracting me!" I shout. " Well then where's the fun?"
Since I got a head start, I'm ahead of him, which made me feel way better, and once I could see thehouse, or more like mansion, I smile to myself. And then a frown appears.
Jonah speeds up so much, that I'm scared he'll crash.
But that's probably the same speed he drives at when I'm inside...
It looks freaking terrifying from the outside.
He overtakes me easily, flashing me a smirk once he passes by. I stick my tongue out at him in defeat.
Once we get back, Ipark the car really badly and get out.
" I won," I hear Jonah say. " I'm fully aware of that," I sigh with disappointment. " Hey don't be sad, it's not my fault I'm amazing," " Oh just shut up," I say, pushing him away.
" Awww, is little Ivy hurt," He says, pouting a little.
He looks so adorable.
" No! Of course not! I'm just...thinking about leaving!" I lie, trying to scare him, although I think it had a very different effect.
" Wait What?!" He says so quietly I could barely hear him. His eyes darkened slightly, I never realised they could do that. " You're not serious, right?" " Of course I'm not you idiot!" I grin, punching him lightly on the shoulder.
" I knew that, like I said before, you're a very bad liar," He scoffs, pretending that he wasn't worried at all.
We're living in a lie.
" Jonah.." " Yeah?" " I..What?!" I shout, while he picks me up bridal style and casually dumps me on the floor.
He needs to stop interrupting me!
At this point I don't even understand why I even told him that I was Ivy. Like sure I didn't want him to access my records and stuff, but even if he did find out, I know he will never hurt me like they did.
And I'm not even being persistent. If he interrupts me I let him. I don't want him to hate me.
" JONAH YOU IDIOT WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!" I scream in the darkness. " Cause I felt like it," He shrugs.
Despite the fact that it was around 1am, the cold of the night made me feel fresh , the adrenaline and stress that came with the race before made me feel very hot.
I go inside andsit in the living room. " What are you doing?" He asks. " We're gonna stay up all night," I grin back. " Doing what?" He smirks devilishly.
In response, I just roll my eyes and check if his TV has any Marvel movies on it. I used to love Marvel as a kid.
" YOU HAVE ALL THE MARVEL MOVIES?!" I shriek in delight. " Courtesy of Jason, however I've never really watched one," He says with interest, sitting down next to me.
" Well then, we're gonna have to start from the beginning," I smile, putting on the first Iron Man.
Once the movie starts, I realise that Jonah's arm is behind me, and I'm leaning on his shoulder. Like how did I do that so naturally?
My cheeks flush with embarrassment in the dark, but I don't get up, because as much as I hate to say it...I really like it.
When I started putting on the next movie, The Incredible Hulk( worst Marvel movie!) I could already feel sleep pulling at my eyelids, teasing me to fall asleep.
I said I would stay up with him!
Instead, I snuggle deeper into his arm, and attempt to fall asleep, Jonah's warmth being enough to make me feel comfortable.
Soon enough, I can feel myself being lifted up, but I'm too tired to get up, so I finally close my eyes, and let sleep take me.

Actual first signs of dedication!!
Fun Fact: I was gonna make them kiss. Yay. But actually, the real one is that I was going to make them watch some Disney Movie like Tangled or something, but I don't think Quinn or Jonah would sit through something like that, so I went with my favourite thing ever and obsession: Marvel. _____________________________
