BAD TASTE Freya Jones has a type. Unfortunately, it's always the wrong one. After a messy past and a toxic ex, Freya moves to LA to start over with her sister. The last thing she expects is to meet Malachi Barton-the cocky, sarcastic boy everyone seems to have an opinion about. They don't get along. At least, that's what they tell everyone. Between constant arguments, undeniable chemistry, and feelings neither of them wants to admit, Freya starts wondering if Malachi is actually as bad as she thought. Maybe he's just complicated. Or maybe Freya really does have bad taste.

A mix of one shots about Freya and Malachi. They are aged up in all stories. There's lots of fluff and tension. There is no smut. Requests are welcome!

Seventeen-year-old Freya Jones has loved Malachi Barton for as long as she can remember. He was her best friend before he was her boyfriend, and the one person who always kept his promises. Until he didn't. Lately, Malachi has become someone she barely recognizes. The late nights, unexplained bruises, whispered phone calls, and constant excuses leave Freya wondering if he's falling out of love with her-or if he never wanted the future they'd dreamed about. What Freya doesn't know is that Malachi is carrying a secret that could destroy everything. After swearing he'd never follow in his older brother Milo's footsteps, Malachi is pulled into a dangerous world of gangs, violence, and impossible choices. Every lie he tells is meant to protect the girl he loves, but every lie pushes her farther away. As old friendships are tested, family loyalties are torn apart, and one unexpected pregnancy changes everything, Freya and Malachi must decide whether love is enough to survive a world built on secrets. Sometimes the people we love the most are the ones we're trying hardest to save.

Freya and Malachi have been neighbors their whole lives - and for just as long, he's been the one person she could always count on. When everyone else felt like too much, he never did. He was steady in a way nothing else in her life ever was. But at 17, that starts to change. A new girl comes into the picture, and slowly, the boy who was always there stops being there at all. Plans get harder to make. Conversations get shorter. And then one day, he says something Freya never thought he'd say to her - the kind of thing you can't take back. She goes home and falls apart in a way she doesn't let anyone see. What she does after that is the real story. Because losing him doesn't break her the way it should have. It cracks something open instead - and what grows in that space might be better than what she had before. Some doors don't stay closed forever, though. And when this one starts to open again, Freya has to decide if she still wants what's on the other side of it.

Four years ago, Malachi Barton had everything he ever wanted. A beautiful life with Freya Skye. Three children they adored. Another baby on the way. And a ring hidden away, waiting for the moment he could finally ask Freya to spend forever with him. Then she disappeared. Freya was twenty-five when she was taken by people who wanted her gone. She vanished without a trace, and the baby she was carrying disappeared with her. No body. No answers. No goodbye. Now Malachi is twenty-nine. He has built a successful business, surrounded himself with the friends who have stood beside him through the darkest years, and devoted his life to raising his three children. Willow, Kayla and Riley have grown up without their mother, each carrying memories of her that have faded with time. Everyone tells Malachi the same thing: it's been four years. He needs to move on. Especially when Nicole, the new girl at his company, enters his life. But Malachi refuses. Because how do you move on from someone when you never got to say goodbye? How do you stop loving someone when a part of you still believes they're out there? And what happens when the past you've spent four years searching for finally starts searching for you? As Malachi begins uncovering pieces of the truth surrounding Freya's disappearance, he realizes there are people who will do anything to keep those secrets hidden. Because Freya wasn't simply taken. She was taken for a reason. And finding her may be the most dangerous thing Malachi has ever done. Some love stories end. Some are stolen. And some refuse to stay buried.

Every summer, Freya Skye and Malachi Barton return to the same beach house-the same hallways, the same ocean breeze, the same friendship that has lasted their entire lives. They know each other better than anyone else. Freya steals his hoodies without asking. Malachi answers to "KaiKai" like it's the most natural thing in the world. Their families joke that it was only a matter of time before they stopped pretending they're just best friends. But this summer feels different. There's only one room left when they arrive. One bed. One shared space where pretending becomes impossible and silence suddenly feels too loud. And when Freya's cousin Josh shows up, everything they've always ignored about each other starts to surface in ways neither of them is ready for. Because somewhere between late-night beach walks, almost-touching hands, and the things they almost say but never do... friendship starts to feel like something more dangerous. Something real. And if they cross that line, there might be no going back. In a house full of memories, sunburns, and secrets, Freya and Malachi are about to find out whether growing up together means growing apart... or finally falling in love.

Everyone thinks Freya Skye and Malachi Barton are just friends. They're wrong. For almost a year, they've been secretly in love, stealing kisses between rehearsals, sneaking away after long filming days, and hiding a relationship that only their parents know about. But secrets don't stay hidden forever. One glance. One mistake. One unexpected moment. That's all it takes for everything they've worked so hard to protect to begin falling apart. Will they keep hiding the love they promised would always be theirs... or is it finally time to let the world know the truth? Sometimes the best love stories are the ones hidden in plain sight.

Malachi and Freya have dated in high school, They broke up because Malachi and Freya kept arguing and Malachi ended up seeing someone else a day after the broke up. Now they're both filming zombies 4 what will happen during it??
