I didn't know anything could feel like This Hurt...

I thought I'd left my past behind. Leaving public school for the elite halls I walk now should have been a fresh start. My chance to be the girl I want to be, not the girl other people think I am—most of all, to be the girl for Hunter Beck.

But I can't seem to outrun the rumors, and I'm starting to lose hope I ever will.

The future I've been working towards seems farther away than ever before.

Fighting for what I want while staying true to myself seems impossible.

Hunter and his father wield the power, I've always known that. And my mother never misses an opportunity to remind me. My past and future are on a collision course, ready to crash, and it seems like the only victim will be my heart. Should I leave everything behind and live the life I've been dreaming of for years?

Or should I throw it all away for the promise of Hunter Beck?
