Prologue

{COMPLETE} The lovely architecture and notoriously posh people of Bath are helpful distractions from the thousands of secrets slipping whispered into ears and written on notes. Everyone has a secret, and some have more than others... If anyone knows about keeping secrets, it would be Liam, Niall, Harry, Zayn and Louis; they've been keeping big secrets since the summer between years seven and eight, when their best friend Lars, an older and popular lad that played rugby, disappeared. They thought they had their secrets under wraps... until they begin getting notes and messages from "King," a certain secret someone who seems to know all their secrets; the big ones, the small ones and everything in between, long buried ones that only Lars knew. Now their secrets don't seem so secret... And the safety of keeping secrets? Well, it doesn't seem that safe anymore. **WARNING: bullying, homosexuality, eating disorders, and the like are included.
