Prologue

The snow was relentless outside his window. Jasper held his knees to his chest as he had his phone in the palm of his hands. His chest was curling up with sharp thorns of anxiety and panic. He kept reading the texts from his boyfriend over and over again.

"You live at 102 Richard CT. Peartown, Texas. Your mom's name is Donna, your dad's name is Micheal. Your sister's name is Rose. I even know your aunt's names. Jessie and Laura. I told you I know you well"

Jasper couldn't respond to it right now. He didn't give his boyfriend those names, HOW DID HE GET THOSE NAMES?! He only told his boyfriend that he lived with his mom and dad in Texas, nothing else. His hands shook as he responded, making errors while his phone cleaned up the terrible spelling

"How do you know that stuff?"

"I have my ways honey. Besides, I'm only joking with you"

Jasper gulped, his mind hoarded with thoughts of doubt, fear, and love. He was with this guy for only a month, how did he know all of this private information? But he couldn't deal with loneliness again, he simply took deep breaths to try to relax. Jasper then responded.

"Haha, impressive. I'm getting a little tired though. I'll see you in the morning sunshine"

Within mere seconds, there was a response "Wait. Did you forget your promise?"

"What promise?"

"The one about your photos silly. Don't keep me waiting now, you promised me :("

Jasper paused, knowing damn well what this man wanted from him. He didn't really want to do this, it was uncomfortable and he wasn't happy with himself. But he loved his boyfriend, and that meant making sacrifices for him. So he pulled his camera app up, lifted his shirt and took two photos. He then sent them over, relieved that things were settled between them. It took a few minutes before he got a response. It was cold to be reading out.

"Perfect, I'll put these in the folder on my computer"
