The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Ethan knew why Jeremy refused to meet Stephen again, so he told Austin the news and got him to inform Stephen that those letters were all fake. Snow did not care about him, and Jeremy gave up on him long ago!

Stephen was able to pull himself together because of those fabricated letters. If he found out they were all lies and learned the harsh truth behind them, what would he do?

He would not go mad but choose to end his own life instead. He would LAO be the one ultimately responsible for Stephen's death! Ethan was using him to push Stephen to his death!
