Keeping a secret comes easy to Jacob Fletcher. He has been well practised for years. A hidden talent or is that a talent for hiding? He just has to lay low and get through it all. When everything changes, will he be able to change with it? *Trigger Warning: Physical Abuse*

Hello! If you are looking at this, I imagine that you have already read "Lay Low". If you haven't, what are you waiting for?! Jokes aside, this is a collection of chapters that I left out of my Wattpad version of the book as I felt that the story covered Tony's cruelty quite well and that these scenes were unnecessary. Seeing as I have written them, (and that the Bad News One Shots were so well received), I have decided to post them up. Be warned they are pretty much all scenes depicting the cruelty of Tony and Eva. For help with the timeline: all scenes are set in the nine months before Max comes back into his life. Comment and let me know what you think. Trigger warning: physical abuse

Miller Spencer knows that it's normal to love your best friend. Ace has been his best friend since forever. So, of course, it's completely natural to want to kiss him. It is typical to get jealous when you see him with someone else. It is absolutely ordinary that you may or may not have certain fantasies that aren't civilized enough to be told out loud. It is simply impossible that Miller would make the grave mistake of falling for his best friend in the all too familiar and cliche trope. Or maybe, Ace is trouble and Miller is falling for him. (TW: mild to moderate.)

I wrote it right this time" "Rider With A Y' is NOT right." - Ryder is a bad boy, or at least that's what he wants everyone to think. He tries to act like a bully, edgy, and cruel, and it works for the most part. Spencer doesn't like to be called a nerd but deep down he knows he is to a certain extent. He is bored of everything and he sees the good in people, but will he find any good in Ryder?

(bxb) After a year of surviving an all boys boarding school, William Brown thought he had finally navigated the ups and downs that the rich, private school had to offer. He'd even managed to make a few friends, as well as a rightful enemy. Lucien Harding. The two young boys were about as friendly as oil and water-that is, not very much. A dark haired boy deemed for destruction and a golden prince promised greatness weren't the likely pair. They knew as much, yet somehow, it had become inevitable. Their relationship would either go down in flames or a blaze of glory. Both boys bleed flame either way. Whichever path, they'll learn more than they bargained for.

Ash, Jace and Drew have grown up with eachother, they were the local trio. It wasn't until Jace kissed Ash out of nowhere, that everything changed. PREVIOUS TITLE WAS "MY BROTHERS BEST FRIEND"

*COMPLETED* (Y.O.L.O stands for: YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE) *** Carter Jones, the school nerd, and Killian Henderson, the reputated troublemaker, somehow end up getting detention together. "How about we make a bet?" Offered Killian, his pistachio-green eyes drilling into mine as a playful smile lingered on his lips. "A bet?" I gulped, intimidated by how close he was sitting next to me. He nodded and raised four fingers, the ones with the letters "Y.O.L.O" tattooed on them, wriggling them in front of me with his ever-so-confident grin. "Four dares, Jones, just you and me." And that's how it all started. *** Rankings: #fiction #featured #queer #gay #depression #bl #youngadult #featured #comedy #bisexual #manxman #teen fiction #boyxboy #bxb #LGBT #romance Cover designed by Holly Thurston
