I wish you loved me in the ways I did.
I didn't want someone else, not him, not her.
You
So why couldn't that happen? Why couldn't you love me?
Was I really that bad?
Was it that easy to let go of what we had?
I don't know..and that's the problem.

*Wynter's Pov!*
I ended up canceling dinner with Jason. I didn't want to leave the house. Not after what happened last night, and not what I have to deal with now in the morning.
*(Flashback to night time~)*
My eyes opened without even realizing it as I made my way down the stairs. Not only was I tired, but now I was frustrated from the banging on my front door. I stomped towards it, opening it angrily. I didn't know who I was expecting, but definitely not Artemis. He seemed off, and I soon found out why.
"Hey." He said dramatically, falling through the door. I held onto his shoulders, balancing his feet. But suddenly, he brought me into his arms. "I missed you so so so so soooo much!!!" He exclaimed, resting his head on mine. I tried to let go but he hugged tighter. Once my nose hit his cologne, I stopped trying to let go. Because I wanted to hold on just as much as he did.
He laughed sweetly, pushing me toward the couch. He falls onto it, smashing me against the cushions. I found a way to maneuver out of his grasp, standing up as he sighs dramatically. "Artemis what the hell are you doing here?" I asked, sighing as he fell back down on some pillows.
"I wanted to see you, duh!" He laughed, grabbing my hand but I forced it away from him, glaring his way even though he didn't seem to care. "Artemis I'm fucking serious, get out!" I yelled, but he just waved his hand, dismissing my demands. "I'm gonna pass, I didn't just walk here for nothing." He smiled. "Fine, I'm going upstairs. You're drunk, and I'm not dealing with it." I started walking towards the stairs.
But seconds later, his arms wrapped around me. Pulling my back against his chest. "Stay." He mumbled, laying on my shoulder. I fell into him, staring up at the ceiling. "You smell good." He smiles, holding on tighter. We stand there in silence, I don't bother to think. Just for a second, let me remember how comforting this feels. "I could fall asleep like this." I could too Artemis, but I can't shake off the fact that this isn't right.
"Artemis, Jason wouldn't like this." He then slowly lets go, cupping my face in his hands.
It's quiet for a second, just our faces inches apart. Eyes staring, breaths fanning, alcohol hitting my nose. "I don't give a fuck about him, he is shit anyways." He says, rolling his eyes. Artemis, you're not wrong, but I'm not telling you that. "Still, I can't just do this to him. Also you're the one that told me to move on." I added, and I was going to continue. But I couldn't once his stupid eyes killed me.
I watched them, filling with tears and I couldn't bear to see him cry like this. "I was stupid, and not smart, and dumb okay. I want you around again, to go out to the lake together like before." I shook my head, as tears streamed down from his eyes. "We were supposed to be together, and I fucking ruined that." His body shakes as he walks away. He lets himself fall against the wall, his body sliding down. He held his knees tightly, sinking into what he was feeling. I knelt down, scared to see his sad expression.
