Winters' POV

Time to go get the princess.

I don't know what I was thinking when I said that I can still drive her to school after the breakup. Guess I just wasn't ready to completely let her go.

She was the half of me. We were joined by the hip.

Nothing can tear us down. We were inseparable. Were. Not so much more now.

We thought because we were inseparable as friends, that we would be inseparable while dating too.

We were wrong. We were dead wrong. Somehow a picture broke us apart. Ironic, huh?

We've been together for 18 years and nothing can bring us down. Funnily, the thing that brought us down was a picture.

After I confronted her, I regret it. I really do. I guess I didn't think about it thoroughly. I was so affected to the picture I didn't think about the 18 years we spent together. I didn't think about us.

I.. I regretted it. I regretted the breakup and I wish I could turn back time.

But I can't.

"Please just get in the car."

She scowled, gets in the car and slams the door.

"What did the door do to you?"

She scowled even more. "Not the door. It's you." She muttered not so secretly under her breath.

I rolled my eyes and sped down the street. She didn't complain like how she used to. She sat there and bobbed her head to the music from the radio.

It's not quiet but quiet at the same time. We used to sing together. We used to chat. We used to be us.

And now all that's left is Summers and Winters.

Not Ashley's.

We're not one anymore.

We're apart.

And I don't think we'll ever be together again.

Ever.

Because if we did, the sky might fall apart.

And we wouldn't want that would we?

Summers' POV

I felt sick at the silence. I felt sick at his speed. Yes, I speed too sometimes. But I can't handle speed from the passenger seat. I felt like puking, but I can't help but shut up. I don't want to say anything and make things worse.

His face was full of nothing. It was his thinking face, but I can't see through it. Not anymore.

We arrived and I clicked my tongue. "Where the hell are you going?" He stared at me with his hard blue eyes.

"What do you mean?" He snapped. His eyes turn slightly softer at the sight of my eyes.

Dang it. I must have shown hurt.

"You missed a lot." I said heavily as I feel the puke getting up my throat. I didn't even wait for any response. I just opened the door and ran as fast as I could to the nearest trash can.

I puked all of my breakfast up. I could feel the bitterness as someone rubbed my back. He handed me tissue and I took it to wipe my mouth.

It was James. He smiled.

"You've just got back from holidays. And by just one sight of school made you puked immediately." He joked and shook his head. I chuckled softly and shook my head.

"Winters sped and I couldn't handle." I see Winters coming with my bag and a face of remorse.

I mumbled a quick thank you under my breath and ducked away from both the boys. Everybody knew about the breakup. And girls were happy. Our crew not so much.

"Ash!" Winters' voice booms through and I feel thousands of blade go through my heart.

"We made a deal." I muttered to him as he gets closer.

"What the hell are you trying to do?" He snapped again.

"I didn't do anything." I said, starting to get pissed too.

"James said you puked because I sped and because I didn't care."

"I did puke because you sped and when have you cared?" I spat. "I'm not trying to break any friendship. You break ours. And all you have the bravery to do is snap at me and make me feel like complete crap." I spat again.

"I hope you're happy now." I said as I leave. I can feel all the crew's eyes. But I don't care. Just like how he didn't.

Winters' POV

I saw hurt and fire in her sapphire blue eyes right before she walks away. It's not like I wanted to make her feel bad.

"Ashley, what's wrong with you man?" Joe asks. The whole crew was around us. Around me now.

"Whatever." I muttered. All I want is so everything would go back to normal. I wish everything can be the way it was.

I got in the first class only to find I'm seated next to her. Exactly next to her. She rolled her eyes at me as I threw my back to the chair. I huffed out a breath and gathered up my courage.

"I'm sorry."

She clicked her tongue. Her eyes showed challenge. "For what? You never cared and it's not a big deal."

I took a deep breath, making sure I wasn't gonna explode. "I do care."

She snorted. "I think you said it wrong. I think you meant, did care. You don't care now and I don't mind,"

"You've been an ass since the breakup. Even in the family meeting. You broke up with me, not knowing the truth. You're not worthy of me. Not if you can't believe me."

Her eyes was all fire and challenge. There was nothing I could say.

Truthfully, I was hurt. I do care. I just can't trust her.

Hence why you're not worthy of her.

Maybe yes.

But what was I suppose to think? They were inches from kissing each other. And we know Jon has his ways around the girls. Maybe she fell.

She's the most loyal and kind person you've ever known your whole life. She's more loyal than you.

She doesn't do fall.

The irony. My brain's too smart.

"See! You can't even focus on me for a little while." She pouts.

"I'm sorry?" I asked. 

Summers' POV

"I thought we were friends. But you can't respect me. Nor can you trust me. Why? We were together for so long! How can you betray me like this? Our relationship, both ways wasn't ephemeral at all! See? You can't even focus on me for a little while."

"I'm sorry?" He asked.

Ughhh.....

"Let's check out." He randomly said.

Should I or should I not?
