“Winter!” I call running behind her along the icy sidewalk “Winter wait!” I finally catch up to her grabbing her shoulder gently, making her whip around giving me a look even the bravest of people would back down at

“Why should I?” She snaps but I keep my mouth shut knowing everything I say is going to be a wrong answer “After all you’ve said! Every time you left me for someone else! Tell me Coleson, why should I wait for you?” The cold words hurt sending shivers down my spine that feel worse than the cold snowy air whipping at my face. I have been such a jerk. Hurt Winter so many times but only because I wanted to protect her, from me.

She stares at be waiting for an answer and all I can say is “I was stupid. I am stupid. I never should have kissed her. I wasn’t thinking. Your too good for me Winter.”

“You didn’t think about that! You don’t think about anything Coleson!” She yells making me take a step back “I’m done running back to you, I’m done belonging to you, done with you.” She throws the words at me before turning on her heel and strutting down the cold path. I stand, stuck, frozen in shock. Whenever I had a fight with Winter when we were just kids, just friends. Dad would tell me to give her space ‘Winter will come and go’ but I never really expected her to go.
