He's everything I want and need...to stay away from.

Reid Cathan's doesn't do grimy, he doesn't do alleyways and dark nights alone out in the cold and most importantly, he doesn't do me.

I'm here because his mom took me in, not because of him and his stupid basketball reputation that has everyone wrapped around his finger.

Not because he wards off anyone bad, not because we go to the same school now and definitely not because for three out of seven days a week I spend my nights at his home, in the bedroom next to his.

Winter Castillo's is moms favourite girl, she loves her like she loves anything else - with her entire heart.

But Winter is the opposite. She's closed off, she keeps to herself, she's lonely by choice.

She only lets me in, when no ones there to see it. Not even the sun.

That was their story nearly three years ago, but now their all grown up.

Winter only knows Reid as the boy who kept her a secret from his public life. She was his secretito sucio [dirty little secret] that all his friends knew of but not about.

Reid remembers everything, differently. He didn't hide her, he was protecting her. He didn't want her gone for half the time they spent together, he wanted her near.

Now, three years later their left to deal with the damage done then. Back in high school, with all eyes on them. Staring as they snuck, gawking as they struck and blinded as they sinned.
