Winter's P.O.V

We walked to Mcdonalds which made me smile. I hadnt that that in so long! We walked in and not many people were here. I sorta found it strange but i didnt care too much.

"What would you like?" Bradley asked and i looked at him with a smile. "Ill order my food and you can order yours." I said politely put i couldnt help the grin that appeared on my face. Bradley shook his head while chuckling. "You see, i wanted you to join me. I should pay." I rolled my eyes knowing how this will end. We would argue for so long until i finally gave in. Ha! Thats not how i do things.

I walked up to the register and looked at the guy. He has dirty blonde hair and blue eyes but not like Bradley's. They were a usual blue but they were nice. "Can i just get a 9 nuggets box and a chocolate frappè, thanks." I smiled at him and he smiled back...but it looked like he was flirting sorta. Anyway, i handed him the money and he gave me the chance and the recipt. I stood back and walked to Bradley. He smirked.

"Guess you got his attention." I looked over to where he was pointing a furrowed my eyebrows. The guy who served me just kept staring at me while a customer wanted to be served. I slowly faced Bradley to see him laughing.

"Wow, he went that far..." I frowned. What does he mean by that? He took the recipt out of my hands and turned it around.

"Oh my." I looked back at the guy and he was finally serving the people. I took the recipt and looked at it closely. "Don't tell me thats...his number?"

"903!" I heard someone yell. I lookes at the recipt and notice that was my order. I walked up and guess who it was who handed me my food...that dude!

"Uh thanks." I said and quickly grabbed my food. He shot me a wink and i smiled. Obviously it was fake, im not into the guy.

I walked to one of the tables and sat down. I looked at the recipt ahain then ripped it up. I didnt want someones number...

"Now, why did you do that?" I heard Bradley's voice say behind me. I looked at him as he sat down next to me.

"What do you mean? I dont want to keep some strangers number on me!" I said with a frown and Bradley nodded. "True."

I pulles out my food and started to eat my nuggets. I love nuggets there are my life! I would rather marry nuggets instead of a man but honestly, we could never really marry food. We would look stupid! Besides my mom wants me to marry a loyal, hardworking man. Someone i can trust with all my heart and tells me everything.

"So, whats the story behind you? Ive never seen you around here." I looked at Bradley who was sipping his coke. I shrugged.

"I just moved here to live with my friend's grandma." Bradley looked at me like he wanted me to continue. I didnt want to tell him, he is still a stranger to me in a way.

"What? Thats all." I said and ate another nugget. He grinned. "Okay."

I didnt know why this guy was grinning. He is one strange guy.

"Wanna lift home?" Bradley asked and i frowned while shaking my head. "Its okay. I have legs, i can walk." Bradley shook his head laughing.

"Its like 9:30 and your telling me your walking? I dont think so."

"What makes you think i will go with you?" I grinned and he smirked. "Hmm, you wanna walk home, walk. No one is stopping you. Just watch out for those men over there in the corner watching every girl walk past." I looked over and saw about 6 men around 40 and i shrieked in horror. I looked back at Bradley and he had a triumph smirk plastered on his face.

"Fine." I said and he chuckled. "Knew you were gonna say that."

"Of course you did." I muttered as we started aalking to where ever Bradley's car was.

We stopped and i gasped. "Oh no no no!" Bradley looked at me and frowned. "What?" I raised my eyebrows at this maniac.

"What do you mean what?" I mocked his voice at the end as Bradley pulled out a helmet. He passed it to me with a smirk.

"Changed your mind?" Bradley grinned. I scoffed and snatches the helmet and out it on.

Its like i am asking for a death wish! I am not getting on that!

Bradley sat on the motorbike and started it up which made it have a loud roaring sound. "Come on!" Bradley shouted over the engine and i groaned, running a hand down my face as i hopped on.

"If i die, i am going to haunt you for the rest of your life!" I said sternly. Bradley just chuckled.

I gave him the address and he started to drive.

Next thing i knew i was clinging onto Bradley as we drove to Emmaree's. But i had to admit, the feeling of the wind blowing through my hair made me laugh. I loved the warm breeze hitting my face and my legs and arms. Its made me happy...to know i was free. Then Bradley stopped and i looked around to see we were already here. I took off my helmet and passed it to Bradley. "Thank you." I said as he shut off the engine. He smiled and waved me off.

"No thank you for letting me spend time with such an interesting and funny girl like you." I couldnt help but blush. Lucky it was dark otherwise i would of got caught red handed.

"I hope to see you around, Winter." Bradley added as he shot me another smile. I smiled too.

I started to head up the stairs until i heard Bradley call my name. I turned around. "Yeah?"

"Dont worry about that boy who made you upset." He smiled and drove off. I smiled at his words and headed up the stairs and knocked on the door.

"Wow...he is something." I said to myself. The door opened and there stood Amanda. She lookes angry but upset too. I smiled a little and hugged her. She held me tight.

"Where were you! Everyone was worried!" Amanda tried to sound angry but she only sounded more upset. I pulled away from her and pointed upstairs. "Ill tell you in private." I said and she nodded and went upstairs. I was about to go and follow her until i aas practically attacked by a hug. I rolled my eyes playfully, knowing Alec missed me.

We were like brother and sister. Always caring for one another and all that. I liked the bond we had and the way we got along.

I chuckled at hugged Alec back. "Alec, dont cry." I joked and he looked up and huffed. "I dont cry!" And that made me laugh and he joined in.

I started to make my way up the stairs and i saw Sam making his way down. He looked calm. I made no eye contact with him and sped up my pace as i went up the stairs. I walked into my room and closed the door. I breathed out and calmed myself down and turned around to see everyone in my room.

"What do you all what?" I asked and Cole looked at me sternly.

"We want a reason, why you ran off." I shook my head.

"I was only gonna tell Amanda." I said and Cole stood up. "I told you we are all here for you. Dont push us away when you need us the most." He was right. I needed to let everything out. Its bad to keep it all in cause then if you hold it in for too long, you will let everything out unexpectedly.

"Fine." I said and sat down on the carpet.

"Well Cole was talking to me earlier about Sam cause i wanted to know why he was ignoring me. I went to his room and a girl opened the door wearing Sam's shirt and i was upset." I sighed.

Amanda was shocked. "Wait, so...you have feelings for Sam?" I looked at Amanda and everyone else. They were all waiting for an answer. My heart was racing.

Did i like Sam? Were the feelings serious? I wanted them to be real, i really did but the fact that he was ignoring me made me want to just go in my room and do the same to him. I wanted him to acknowledge me like he did when we were in New York. I needed him to tell me what he thought about me. I was scared to confess anything to the people in front of me.

I looked at the floor then up at everyone.

"Yes."
