Oh! Jacob.

"Tyler and Juvi, I need to ask the both of you a favor from you both." I knelt down as I ask.

*SNIFF*

Juvi sniffled before she cleared her throat and wiped her tears before she spoke, "Sure, anything!"

"Can you please keep this between us? And not tell anyone including Nathan, Sherry, and Gray! Please?" I pleaded.

"No! Why would you say that? And don't they deserve to know? Plus I think I deserve punishment for letting this happen to you in the first place."

I know they deserve to know but that would uncover a lot more things!

And I cannot let them find out about it!

Worried about my strange request Tyler asked me, "Vivy, why would you ask us to not tell them? Is there something you're hiding? Wait did he try this before too? That Jerk!"

Tyler gritted at the end of the sentence.

"Please! It's not that I'm hiding,"

I lied again.

I'm sorry.

Tyler you jerk! But he is starting to suspect me.

"It's just that, just because of this I don't want the three of them to come back. Nathan and Sherry are finally able to enjoy their life. They've spent most of their childhood growing up just so they could look after us and protect us. If you tell them about this now, they'll leave everything and hurry here. The same goes for Gray!"

I tried to convince Juvi but she wouldn't take no for an answer.

"No! I won't listen to whatever you have to say. In the first place, there should have been one of us here." Juvi shuffled through her bag for her phone.

I know it's not a convinvcing enough reason. There's no way in hell if something like this happened to Sherry or Juvi would I stay still or worry about enjoying a trip.

I know but I can't afford to let them uncover all the things Jacob said. I don't know what Jacob might do.

Even though he cherishes me, he clearly is prone to tip the scales to the extremes.

And more than anything I'm ashamed and scared to reveal my own flaws to them.

How can I ever face them.

With Kai's involvement with Jacob, we don't know what Gray and Nathan might do. Nathan was already on edge and sensitive ever since Jacob showed up.

And I've been lying and hiding all sorts of things from them. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Juvi, I swear I'll repent for doing this.

I'm sorry Juvi for using this to blackmail you.

"Please Juvi! Do you want Gray to feel guilty again like he did for our's parent's death after all this time? After all that you've gone through! He's finally enjoying something he started out of necessity."

I'm so sorry Juvi.

"Vivy!" Tyler chided me harshly.

I'm sorry Tyler, I can't afford for you guys to find out.

I'm too ashamed!

I can't.

I frowned my brows as I looked down in dejection.

"Okay," Juvi answered, "If that's how you feel."

I could sense a tone of anger, guilt and sadness in Juvi's voice. Of course, anyone would be angry.
