Winter's P.O.V

I walked passed the boy I loathed with Sam's arm now around my waist. His smirk never stopped as he looked at e with the two blondes gripping onto him.

Ugh.

My eyes widened as the steel of cigarettes, sweat and alcohol filled my nose. The smell was awful! Absolutely disgusting.

The song Break A Sweat by Becky G was blasting through the enormous speakers that were placed in the corner of the living room where a bunch of people were dancing. Lucky the living room was big enough for so many people.

"Winter!" I heard Sam yell over the music and I looked up at him.

"Wanna drink?" He yelled once again and I looked forward to see Amanda already drowning some shots with Cole and Hayden. I looked back at Sam and thought.

I haven't even drank before? I have seen alcohol and smelt it before and I thought it was revolting but is it really that bad? My mother didn't raise me this way...but I've seen her gulp down beers with her friends when they are over at our place... Oh god. Yes...no...yes-no...

Yes.

I nod at Sam and a big grin appears on his face as we walk to the table where my friends were.

"Hey Win!" Amanda squealed as I sat next to her. I smiled at her. She poured the vodka into a shot glass and handed it to me, then gulped her one down in a whole.

I looked at the glass and tightly closed my eyes and drank it down. It burned my throat really bad but I wanted another one. I was thirsty!

Amanda held out another one for me and held up her spare hand, counting down.

1... 2... 3

Me, Amanda, Cole, Sam, Hayden and Alec gulped our shots down.

Time to get loose.

"Let's dance!" Amanda yelled and I nodded, my head swaying along with my body and legs as I ran with Amanda towards the dance floor. The song changed to Lost In Stereo (which was Amanda's favourite) and we started to dance and sing the words.

"SHE'S DANCING ALONE AND IM READY TO GO BUT SHE'S SO LOST IN STEREO...LOST IN STEREO!" I sang as Amanda swayed her hips to the music, also singing...well practically yelling the lyrics.

Then I felt someone tugging at my hand and I turned around to see a blurry face with bright brown eyes. I smiled at the person who was currently pulling me away from the dance floor.

Next thing I know, I am passing the kitchen and I am out the back yard. There was a big pool with people splashing, screaming and yelling but they all seemed like they were having fun. The person was currently climbing up the brick wall and up the roof. I was completely confused...but rid the same.

I was up in about 2 minutes due to the fact that I was in heels and a black cocktail dress...plus, I think I am drunk.

I sat next to the person and looked. A little smile tugged at my lips as I saw him smile.

"Hey." Sam says and I clung onto his arm and lay my head on his shoulders.

"Heyo." I say and feel Sam's hand brush through my hair.

"You look gorgeous tonight." Sam says and I look up at him with a smile on my face.

"You look rather dashing too." I say and he chuckles, clinging onto my waist, pulling me closer to him.

"You having fun tonight? You looked happy when I saw you dancing with Amanda." He says and I nod.

I felt Sam pick me up by my hips, making me squeal as he sits me down on his lap, making me face him. I close my eyes and lay my head down on his chest.

"I like you Sam." When those words came out of my mouth I wanted to slap my mouth shut but I couldn't help it...did I like Sam? Or did I like his attitude?

Blame it on the drinks...blame it on the drinks...

Sam lifted my chin to I saw leveled with his face. "Winter...your drunk." Sam said and I was about to say something until words spluttered out of my mouth that I couldn't control.

"Haven't you heard that a drunken man's words are his true thoughts?" I mentally face palmed myself.

"So your a man?" Sam asked me, amused. I was about to say something until Sam put his index finger on my lips and continued to speak.

"I think it's time to go back inside, the guys are probably waiting." And with that, Sam removed his finger and planted a light kiss on my cheek.

And that's when I knew...after all the fighting, laughing, smiling, hurting...after everything we have been through...

I can't believe I didn't even notice it before...?

I was in love with Sam Anderson.

●●●

I walked back inside by myself since Sam told me he had to go do something and he will be back later. I don't know when that will be...

To be honest, I just wanted to lay down and go to bed.

I walked through the people, my head throbbing a little. I am pretty sure a little blush was on my cheeks from the little kiss.

I saw Amanda in my view and I waved at her and she waved back with the biggest smile on her face. I knew she was having a good time.

I walked past all the people grinding on each other and sat next to Amanda. She was now just drinking some coke, which she poured into another glass and handed it to me so we had half each.

I took a sip of the refreshing drink and closed my eyes, my head slightly throbbing. After gulping all the drink down, I looked at everyone dancing.

"Where did you go?" Amanda asks and I shrug.

"I just went to talk with Sam." I say, trying to hide the feelings that tried to show when I said his name.

"Ooo, anything happen during this talk?" Amanda says with a little chuckle.

"Nothing happened." I say and she nods but I am pretty sure she didn't believe me. "Anyway, I just wanna go home." I say with a sigh, the sleepiness really getting to me now.

"Awe, the party hasn't even started!" Amanda said with a pout which I ignored. I was serious. I wanted sleep. Now.

When I looked at Amanda, I didn't even see her... In our words, she had wondered off, towards the dance floor in fact. I took in a deep breath and grabbed my coke, taking a little sip.

I started to walk out the living room, towards the front door. I walked out and sighed.

In my drunken state...could i get home?

As i took the first step down thr stairs, i heard a familiar voice yell my name. I didn't want to turn around.

Not now. Not ever.

So I decided to keep walking and like the stupid person I am, I tripped and fell face first on the pavement. I wanted to scream in pain but I didn't. It never came out cause when I looked up, I saw  him with a cigarette in his mouth, his smirk proudly on his face.

I stood up and wiped my eyes, the tears falling from the fall. My mascara was probably smudged really bad but what was worse?

Worrying about your makeup? Or the dangerous gang leader...also known as your ex boyfriend...Hector Sullivan?

Oh no! What is going to happen now! I didn't want Winter to die so fast...she was so special and unique and- nahhh I'm joking. Winter is not gonna dieee... *looks around the room for an escape then slowly looks at the camera with a wicked grin...*
