Winter's P.O.V

"Holy shit."

"I didnt expect that..."

"Same here."

Everyones reactions made me embarrassed. Now i am wishing i didnt tell them. I looked at Amanda. She didnt say anything. She scared me.

"Amanda...say something." I pleaded. She didnt even look at me. I was panicking and my heart was racing more and more. I needed to here Amanda's voice right now.

"Amanda?" I asked again but this time she looked up at me, her face expression didnt show any emotion. It was blank. Then she spoke.

"Can everyone get out please?" Cole, Hayden and Alec stood up and left straight away without a word. The door closed and i sat next to Amanda.

"Please say something. I wanna know what is happening in that brain of yours! Whats on your mind?" I asked impatiently. My leg was bouncing up and down like i was high on candy.

"Why didnt you tell me..." Amanda looked at me and i frowned.

"I was embarrassed. Crying over a little thing like that-" Amanda held her hand up to stop me from saying more.

"I mean about the feelings...why?" I looked away from Amanda.

'I was scared i was falling for the wrong person.' I wanted to say but i couldnt bring myself to it.

"I didnt know if the feelings were actually there." I lied. I looked at Amanda and she looked at me.

"Tell me the truth, Winter." She said calmly but inside i knew she was fuming. She never liked it when people lied to her and since she could read me like a book, she knew i was lying.

"Sam wasnt the person i would usually fall for. I would go for the silent ones, the good ones, the nice ones. But i knew they wouldnt go for me since i had a past that would haunt me. I knew this when i saw Hector at the party. I knew he was purposely looking for me. I just knew. And i knew i had feelings for Sam when i started to hang out with him and when i saw the good side to him. Not the angry, selfish and arrogant one." I paused to look at Amanda. She nodded, a sign for me to continue.

"And when i started to hang out with him more, the feelings developed into stronger ones and i knew one small thing would break me. And she did. That girl. Whoever she was made my heart shatter into a million pieces. I was so fragile, i knew i would eventually break sooner or later. And i did." Amanda put her hands on my sjoulder and sighed.

"I hate seeing you like this Winter. After everything, i knew you had some special connection with one of these boys. But Sam is trouble and he is just going to disrespect you and hurt you like he does to everyone else." Amanda smiled at me and hugged me.

"The best thing for you right now is to focus on something else then him. Maybe call your mom and just talk to her. I hate to say this but i think you should stop hanging out with Sam and just ignore him. Lose the feelings. Its just gonna make you more upset. Its for the best Winter. You know i want to see you happy. Be happy! Show me you can be a strong, independent girl." I smiled at her words. She was right.

I needed to loose the feelings. I needed to keep my ming of Sam. He is trouble. I need to be happy for my own sake.

"You okay?" Amanda asked and i nodded.

"Thank you."

"Dont mention it." Amanda smiled at me before leaving my room. I laid down and fished out my phone from my pocket and dialed Mom's number.

Sam's P.O.V

"Thanks for before." I rolled my eyes and nodded.

"It was nothing. I was just doing you a favor." I smirked. I heard her laugh through the phone which made me keep my smirk on my face.

"Okay, i gotta go. Bye." She said and i said a quick bye then i hung up the phone and sighed.

It was about ten and i was starving. I hadnt eating all day so why dont i make something to eat.

I stood up and made my way down the kitchen where Emmaree was. She looked up at me and smiled. "Hello Samuel." She greeted then continued to make her sandwich. I walked to the fridge and pulled out an apple. "Hey Grandma." I said before taking a bite of my apple.

I sat down next to Alec and looked at the tv. "What is this?" I asked and Alec looked at me like he didnt even nktice i was here before looking back at the tv.

"Neighbors. Got a problem, get lost."

"Alec! Dont talk to your brother that way!" Emmaree cut in and i stood up, looking at Alec.

"Dont worry little brother, its okay. If you wanted me to go, you should've just asked." I said and walked back upstairs. I stopped right before Winter's room and heard soft talking. I couldnt make out the words but i knew she was talking to her mom.

Then i thought to myself. Was Winter ignoring me today?

She didnt look at me at all and she looked very uncomfortable when i was walking down stairs, not to mention how she was trying to ignore my presence. I knew something was wrong. She would never ignore me, right? I never saw her the type to ignore someone.

I walked into my room and laid down on my bed. I couldnt sleep now. The fact that Winter's ignoring me got me angry. No one ignores Sam Anderson!

I need answers!

Winter's P.O.V

"What! Thats terrible!" I said shocked at what my mom just told me. She laughed.

"It was quite funny to be honest." Mom laughed again. I missed Mom's laugh. I missed her smile and her sense of humor. Mostly, i missed her warm hugs and kisses before bed and in the morning.

"Mom?" I asked.

"Yes baby?" I breathed in and out before asking the question that was in my head for ages.

"When are you coming home?" I heard my Mom sigh and i frowned. I knew she was about to say something i wasnt gonna like.

"There has been a little problem. The boss wants me to stay here for the break so i cant come down and see you next month." I felt like crying. I cant live without seeing her face! I cant wait any longer!

"Mom, i miss you! Tell your boss to get a heart! You have a daughter that is missing you like crazy!" I whined. My mom sighed again.

"Baby, i know its hard but i am trying! I really am. Its just hard to get out of piles of work." I frowned and shook my head. "Mom, please!" I sobbed as i felt the tears run down my face.

"Winter, i have to go. I will call you tomorrow. Love you." Then the call ended and i pulled my knees up to my chest and rested my head on my knees as the tears started to fall again.

"Love you too."

Amanda's P.O.V

"Wow he is a jerk!" I said as i hit the ball and missed the hole. Hayden agreed as he sipped his beer and placed it on the table and started to aim at the ball.

"I dont know what has got into him lately. He probably just wants to be alone or something." Hahden said as he sunked the ball into the hole. He put the chalk on his stick while i took a sip of my coke.

"Maybe he is missing your mom?" I suggested and Hayden shrugged.

"Maybe." Hayden said as he shot another ball into the hole but then he accidentally hit the black ball with it as well. I placed my stick back on the rack and picked up my coke.

"Im gonna check on Winter." I said and he nodded. I went up the stairs and looked at Alec who was watching neighbors on tv. I rolled my eyes along with a chuckle as i made my way up to Winter's room.

I knocked softly and i heard Winter sniffing her nose and i immediately entered her room. She was curled up in a ball as she wiped her nose his her sleeve. I frowned and cuddled up with her as i laid her down. "Whats wrong?" I asked and Winter pulled the blanket over the both of us and sniffed again.

"Mom said she wont be coming next month cause of her stupid boss." She sobbed and i placed my coke on the drawer before hugging Winter. "You will see her soon." I assured her but she just wiped her eyes.

"Hey, why dont we go shopping tomorrow then go out and do some exploring of London?" I asked Winter with a big grin on my face. She looked at me and sighed.

"I dunno-"

"Come on Winter! We havent hung out in ages! Pretty pleasee?" I begged, trying to get a yes out of her and Winter shrugged.

"I guess." I kissed Winter's forehead and laid down with her. Since this was a double bed, we had enough room snd we werent squished together like pancakes.

"Goodnight Winter." I said, not moving at all. Winter looked up at me confused. "What are you doing?" She asked making me chuckle.

"Sleeping." I replied with a smile. She just nodded slowly before closing her eyes. "Night Amanda." I heard her say and i turnes off the lamp before closing my eyes too.

"Night Winter."
