I exhaled loudly, but Winter couldn’t hear me over her sobs. I knew she wasn’t ready for me to tell her my true feelings. We would just have to wait until Rob moved and she has moved on..

“Winter..” I began as I stroked her hair. “Winter, you don’t honestly believe I’m using you for April, do you? Because I’m not.. But sweety itdoesn’t matter if Rob is or isn’t because he’s moving.. And he doesn’t deserve you anyways exspecially if he is just using you.”

Winter stifled another sob and looked at me with tear-stained eyes. “I.. I guess your right Jay..” She looked away as she said it though.

I gently moved her chin towards me again with my first two fingers. “What is it Winter?”

“I.. How mad at me would you be if I told you something.. But by telling you that it would mean I’d been lying for a while..?” Winter spat out quickly and quietly.

I was completly taken aback by her sudden question so I ended up stumblng over an answer, something I rarely did. “I.. well.. it uh.. depends on what it was.”
