*** Roman ***
I sat in silence. Winter's parents are... Evil. And so is she. What the hell. Well this changes a lot... I looked at her and she was staring at me, waiting for me to respond. I just stared at the ground. I didn't know what to say... I don't even know how I feel about all of this. She sighed, "I understand if you're upset or freaked out... If you never speak to me again I won't hold it against you."
I looked up at her quickly, "No... I just don't know what to say... It's a lot to take in, you know?"
She nodded and hugged her knees to her chest, I could see the pained look in her eyes, she thought I was going to shun her like everyone else. I put a hand on her shoulder lightly, "Winter, I don't think any less of you. You're still the same person." I smiled, hoping to lighten the mood a little. She looked up at me and smiled back, I felt myself relax, it felt good to see her smile.
*** Winter ***
I saw him relax when I smiled, he likes to see me smile... I blushed slightly and looked away, "Roman?"
"Yeah?"
"Tell me about your parents."
His face fell and he dropped his hand, "Why do you want to know about them?"
"Because... That dream has been on my mind ever since that night. Please Roman..." I placed my hand on his softly.
He sighed and nodded, "Alright... I'll tell you." He took a deep breath and laid down, "Well... Everything you saw happened. Jale, or Jason, told me about my mother and what she did for me... I've always wanted to go back and see if she was still alive but never built up the nerve to. Anyway, Jale took me and raised me until he died... When I was fourteen." She sighed heavily and looked away, "I've lived here ever since... Jessica and Lyle are nice enough, and I love them, but I wish Jale was still alive..."
I put a hand on his shoulder lightly, "I can't imagine how much you miss him but.... It gets easier. I promise." I smiled softly, trying to ease the mood, he just looked at me and sighed. Then he got up and walked out of the room. I frowned and let my hand fall, Why does he do that! I try to get on friendly terms and he just blows me off! That's it. I'm so fucking done with his sorry ass. I felt a growl rise in my throat and I slammed my door shut, listening to the sound reverberate through the house.
