Jeremy pov:As I woke up from my sleep, I was greeted by the bright rays of the sun. The light was so intense that I had to shut my eyes again for a few seconds before opening them slowly. Next to me, Steve lay in a peaceful slumber, his chest rising and falling gently with each breath. I couldn't help but smile at the sight of him, with his tousled hair and peaceful expression.Last night had been a rollercoaster ride of emotions, and I couldn't help but blush as I thought of it again. Steve had been so sweet and caring, and I felt like I had truly connected with him on a deeper level.As I continued to watch him sleep, Steve stirred a little, his lips curling up in a slight pout. His little nose crinkled slightly as he shifted in his sleep, and I couldn't help but think how adorable he looked. His morning face was like that of a baby's, innocent and endearing.His mouth opened slightly, reminding me of a fish, and I couldn't help but chuckle softly to myself. I felt grateful to hav

Jeremy pov:As we were about to leave the room, Steve's phone rang, bringing our plans to a sudden halt. His expression turned serious as he answered the call."Maggie and Matthew said they would only call us in case of an emergency," he muttered, clearly worried."Answer the call," I urged him, sensing the urgency in his voice.Steve picked up the phone, his hands trembling with anxiety. What could be the emergency that Maggie and Matthew were calling about? I prayed to God that everything would be okay."Hello, Maggie," he said, his voice shaking.As he listened to the voice at the other end, his eyes widened in fear. The tension in the air was palpable, and my heart was racing with anticipation."What? But our..." Steve's voice trailed off, and I could see the panic in his eyes.As soon as he heard Maggie's words, he hung up the phone abruptly, leaving me in a state of confusion. I looked at Steve, searching for answers, and then he hugged me tightly. I could feel his body trembli

Steve pov:Maggie gave us both a room to stay in at the hotel. The hotel belongs to Matthew. The hotel seems to be really nice and comfortable, and we're all staying here together. The room we were given was quite spacious and clean and had all the necessary amenities.At the same time, Jeremy was in River's room, helping her with something. My mind started to wander off to my parents, and I couldn't help but worry about their well-being. I'm scared that they might be in danger, and there's nothing I can do about it at the moment. It's hard to keep the secret that my own brother, Oliver, is responsible for their kidnapping.I've been trying so hard to hide the fact that Oliver is a monster who is causing harm to everyone he comes in contact with, but now that my parents will know the truth, it will break their hearts.Especially my mother, as she loved Oliver despite being reminded of the betrayal my dad did to her. She always used to tell us that Oliver didn't deserve the way he wa

Jeremy pov:As I was holding Steve in my arms, he suddenly pulled away and wiped his tears, looking at me with a pained expression. He uttered the words that sent shivers down my spine, "Jeremy, I wanna talk about something with you."I braced myself for the worst as he continued, "I think this all happened because we are together."As I heard his words, my heart sank and a sense of confusion and despair took over. I struggled to grasp what he meant and processed his statement over and over in my mind. It seemed like he was blaming our relationship for all the troubles we've been through. This made me feel helpless and vulnerable as I had always believed that we were in this together. He had promised to stand by my side and fight with me through thick and thin; so why was he bringing this up now? A knot twisted in my gut as I tried to process his words. The room suddenly felt heavy with tension, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had settled over me. I wanted to

Jeremy pov:I could feel my heart breaking as I buried my face in Maggie's embrace, tears streaming down my face like a river. She held me tightly, her voice soothing as she whispered, "Please, Jer, I can't see you like this."I pulled away, wiping my face and gazing into her eyes. I could see the worry etched on her face."You didn't even cry this much when your best friend Oliver kidnapped you," she said.I tried to explain, but the words caught in my throat. "That's because, at that time, I knew that no matter what happened, Steve would always be by my side. But now he's saying that everything that's happening is because of our relationship. Because of me..." I trailed off, unable to continue.As Maggie and I stood face to face, her gaze bore into mine with an unwavering intensity that sent shivers down my spine. I could feel the warmth of her fingers as they delicately brushed against my cheek, sending a wave of tenderness through me. "Jer, please don't blame yourself for every
