The past week has been up and down. Steve and Billy have been adapting to their way of living. Dustin, Max, and Lucas have been helping Nancy and Robin look into Jaime and Nathan. I have been helping Eddie, Aurora, and Rowena regarding the whereabouts of Oliver.

Billy has been a big help with Steve. Rowena and I both have seen an adjustment in him.

Dustin, Max, Lucas, Nancy, and Robin have been going over theories on what Jaime's motives could be. And what Nathan's motives could be as well.

We all noticed that Nancy was hesitant to find something out about Jaime.

Eddie, Aurora, Rowena, and I still have nothing regarding Oliver.

However, we all have an idea of where Oliver could be. We just have to start seeking it out.

I finally made it into my house when I heard a knock at the door.

I sighed heavily and put my purse on the counter and walked over to the door.

Once I got to the door, I opened it immediately.

On the other side of the door was Nathan.

"Nathan...what are you doing here?" I asked nervously.

"I was in the neighborhood. Thought I would stop by. Can I come in?" Nathan smirked.

I looked at him and stepped out of my house and closed the door.

"Right here is fine. What are you doing here?" I asked again.

"Well, I know that you might have your suspicions about me and possibly Jaime." Nathan replied.

"Is there a reason why I shouldn't? I mean, you are the reason that Billy is the way he is. And now, you bring some random guy into the mix. And the one person that helped my friends with their sister's murder is missing and you were the last person he was with. So, yes, I do have my suspicions." I explained.

Nathan smirked and looked down at me.

"Wow. So, you think you have everything figured out. But, you should know..." Nathan smirked.

Nathan walked over to me and as soon as he brought his hand close to my face, he was pushed off away from me.

Before I realized it, Billy had grabbed onto Nathan's shirt collar and had him pinned against the frame of the patio.

"What the fuck are you doing here Nathan!!! And why do you have your hands on her!!!" Billy growled.

"I just came to talk to her. I mean, c'mon dude. I can see why you like her." Nathan smirked.
