Nicole and her three sisters are starting fresh at a new school, but their new beginning isn't just about new friends or new opportunities. It's about hiding from something-or someone-who they fear might be closer than they think. The truth? They're running. From what, exactly? That's a secret they're determined to keep buried. They've learned to keep their lives carefully guarded, never letting anyone too close, and certainly never letting anyone know what really brought them to this town.
Nicole, is the rock that holds them all together, but even she can't keep the walls up forever. Her sisters-each with their own way of coping-are all just trying to survive, hiding behind smiles, perfect grades, and distractions. But even the best defenses can crack, and when they meet Allen and his friends, things get complicated.
Allen is different from everyone else they've met, and though they can't afford to trust anyone, there's something about him that makes Nicole feel like maybe-just maybe-it's time to stop running. But is Allen just another person they have to hide from, or could he become someone who helps them finally confront the past they've been trying to outrun?
With each new connection, the sisters find themselves questioning the carefully constructed life they've built to stay safe. But the danger is real, and they can't keep running forever. As secrets begin to surface and tensions rise, Nicole will have to decide whether to let her guard down and risk everything-or keep running until there's nowhere left to hide.
**"Hidden Truth"** is a gripping story about family, secrets, and the unexpected bonds that form when four sisters are forced to confront their hidden truths. Nicole and her sisters are on the run from something far more dangerous than they ever expected, and meeting Allen and his friends may just be the start of the most life-changing chapter they never saw coming.

Before She Even Knows
''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business. At least it's what he tells himself, until the feelings start getting too mixed and he ends up thinking of her more than he should. Maybe it's not all about business after all. He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.Complete

Just A Friend
"Do you know how hard it is for me knowing that you're with someone else?" Tyler asked, staring at me intensely. "You think this is easy for me?" I asked, trying to hold back my tears. "I didn't say it was -" he began, but I cut him off. "It's not. I have to go around hating myself. Hating myself for thinking about you. Hating myself for wanting you. I just want to stop feeling this way." I stepped closer to him as my voice shook with every word. "I want to forget about you, but I just--." The rest of my sentence was cut short as Tyler took the final step, closing the gap between us and brought his lips to mine. ~~~~~~~~ Tyler is back from college to find out that the girl who once held his heart has a new boyfriend.
