He sits on the couch staring at Pete's smiling picture hanging on the wall. He knows Pete is a stubborn child and he won't listen to anything he says right now.

"Young master, where are we going?" Bam asks softly

"Anywhere" Pete

"How about the riverside?" Bam offer

"Mm go" Pete

They soon arrive at the destination, Bam gets off and rushes to open the door for his young master.

"I'm going for some air, don't follow me" Pete gets out of the car

He walks for quite some time before his feet no longer drag forward he finally breaks down and cries.

No one is around, only his cry and the accompaniment of the river flow. He hasn't cried like this for a while since his ex broke his heart and now Vegas has also broke it.

As he was in his breakdown, a firm hand suddenly rested on his shoulder, he jerked away and looked at the owner

"Pete?"

Pete wiped his tears away trying to hide the fact that he cries

"W-who are you?" Pete asks

Pete chuckles as he walks toward the rail and looks at the darkness of the river

He sighs "What will you do when someone you love lies to you?"

"That would hurt me deeply, but maybe I will forgive after all it's someone we love we're talking about," Jacqueline said with a faint smile

"Jacqueline?" Pete asks tilting his head

"Just Jacq for you" Jacqueline

"Do you have someone you love?" Pete asks, changing the subject

"Never," Jacq then looked toward Pete, with an adoring stare he said "But now I think I do"

Pete for a moment is lost in those eyes, Jacq is leaning closer as their lips are about to touch Pete blinks looking away, blushing a little
