Wintersmyth or Winter Smith?

Chapter 29- Sushi Dushi

Winters pov
I woke up the next morning at 12:00. I got up and showered and got dressed. When I walked out Henry and Ray were already in the man cave talking while Charlotte was on the monitor. "Morning Angela! Or should I say afternoon." Henry said and I laughed. "Hey I had a big night last night I am allowed to sleep in!" I giggled and he smiled. "Well I was just about to head to get lunch for everyone. You want to come?" He asked and I smiled back. "Sure, where are we going?" I asked. "Sushi dushi." He said. "Cool lets go!" I said and we left. As we walked Henry started a conversation. "So are you leaving tomorrow?" He asked a little sadly. "Nope! As it turns out, since I told my parents how much fun I was having they decided to leave me here another week! I think they're trying to disown me!" We laughed. "And it worked out with winter because she wanted to stay on vacation for another week." Henry smiled at the thought of her. "Yeah. I think she's trying to live there!" He laughed. "So I've never actually met winter, you know, other than seeing her on the news. And from what you said about her she seems really cool. You seem really close and you said you guys used to date and you miss that. So why don't you tell her how much you still like her and want to be with her? Not to pry or anything." He shook his head. "It's fine. But winter and I are really close. And I do still miss her sometimes, but if I told her that she would feel guilty and she wanted to focus on training and it wouldn't be right to put extra pressure on her when it won't change the outcome." I frowned. "But wouldn't you be happier with her?" I asked. "Yes, I would, but if you really care about someone, sometimes their happiness is more important than your own." That hit me hard. So he was backing off and dating other girls and hiding how he still felt for me even though it was hurting him just to make me happy? Now I feel really selfish. I wanted to train all the time and it was too stressful for ME to have a boyfriend, but if I really cares about him. I should've made it work. I shouldn't have sacrificed his happiness for my own. And was I really happy anyways? Was it all really worth it? "That sounds hard." I said. "It's not so bad, I've dated other girls since her and they were all cool people." He said putting in a smile. "How many?" I asked walking backwards to face him. "Are you a player?" I asked raising my eyebrows playfully. "No! Okay that last part came out wrong. I meant I've dated two other girls after her and I was happy with them too. And I am happy being winters friend as long as she's in my life." He said and I laughed. Soon we reached the sushi place and started scanning the menu. We decided to get a mixed sushi platter so people could eat whatever they wanted. I also got a Nantucket half and half tea and he got a coke cola. As we walked back carrying the big platter we talked more about lighter subjects. When we neared Junk'n Stuff he slowed down. "So I was wondering. Since you seem really cool, if you wanted to go out with me tonight?" I smiled. "I guess, where do you want to go?" He thought. "Do you want to go to sote voche?" He asked. "Uh can we do something else? Fancy restaurants aren't really my thing." He grinned. "Thank you! I didn't really want to go somewhere fancy either, but girls seem to like places like that." I laughed. "Word of advice Goldie locks, not all girls are the same!" He gave me a weird look. "I'm gathering that, and did you really just call me Goldie Locks?" I burst out laughing. "You are blond aren't you?" He narrowed his eyes. "Touché. So what do you want to do?" I thought for a minute. "We could go to six poles over swellview! They're open until midnight in the summer!" He smiled. "You like rollercoasters?" Truthfully I've never been on one. But considering all the things I've seen a rollercoaster does not sound like something to be worried about. "Sure! rollercoasters are awesome!" I said excitedly. "Great! Then it's a date!" He smiled brightly then walked into Junk'n'Stuff. "Yeah. A date." I said quietly to myself. So if he still likes me so much, then why is he dating so many other girls? We brought the sushi platter inside. "So do you want to take the elevator and have the sushi stay in the container but be all thrown around? Or take it down the tubes and have the lid be blown off and the sushi go everywhere?" Henry asked. "I don't know!" I said. "It's easy! Do you want sushi salad inside a container, or do you want prices of floor sushi?" I made a face. "Sushi salad! Floor sushi? Gross!" He smirked. "Elevator it is! See? Easy!" His sense of humor never ceases to amuse me. I braced myself for the fall when he pressed the button, but somehow the drop always gets me and I scream my head off! We managed to get the sushi downstairs without completely mangling it. We all sat on the couch with the table and ate. Henry sat next to me and neither of us could hold back grins. "Okay what is it?" Charlotte said looking back and fourth between us. "Tonight me and Henry are going on a date to six poles over Swellview!" I said excitedly. "Like a date, date?" She asked. "Yeah like a date!" Henry said and Charlotte smiled. "I knew it! I knew it! I knew you two would end up together!" She yelled. "Yeah but did you know it?" I asked. "I did!" She said. Everyone seemed really happy for us. But when I looked at Ray I saw in his eyes what he had been trying to hide. He still thinks that me dating Henry is a half baked plan. Honestly I thought it was a quarter baked plan. But I just want to spend a little bit of time with Henry as his girlfriend again. What Ray said was right though, what happens when I switch back and Angela leaves? Henry would probably be crushed because he lost yet another girlfriend and it would be my fault because I lied to him. Then the words Henry had said to me earlier floated back. Sometimes when you care about someone it means giving up your happiness for theirs. Shouldn't that be what I do? Shouldn't I have told him the truth from the start? And what am I supposed to do now? I already said yes and it would hurt him to say I changed my mind, but if he gets to close to me and I change back it would hurt him either way! I keep telling myself that I'll figure it out later. That I'll cross that bridge when I get there, but then why does it feel like the bridge already fell on top of me?
