The Journey of Heartbreaks and Secrets

Chapter 22

Summer's POV:

It's been almost a week since the incident at Halloween Horror Nights. I don't know if anyone has found Winter or has even spoken to her.

When I went back home that night, Winter's parents had asked, "Where's Winter?"

"She's hanging with Jordyn and  them." I lied and told them. I didn't want them to worry. They just nodded their heads and continued doing what they were doing. I knew her mom didn't believe me, but didn't say anything because of Winter's dad. I ignored it and went up to my room.

I plopped onto my bed and let out a very exhausted sigh. I messed up bad. I probably ruined Carson and Winter's friendship so bad. I think everyone hates me now.

There was a knock at my door, it was Winter's mom. She asked, " I know you were lying about where Winter was for the sake of her dad, but you can tell me. Where is Winter really?"

"Honestly, I don't know. We went to Halloween Horror Nights together. Her and her friends were waiting for me and Carson to come out of the maze; when we did, she saw us holding hands. I saw her look and dropped his hand. She changed the subject quickly and asked if we wanted to go with them to get snacks and drinks. I said no because I thought Carson would want to go and catch up with her. But when he said no I was shocked. Long story short, Carson and I kissed, Winter saw and ran away. I don't know where she went. She won't talk to me or anyone else."

"Summer, it's alright. I'll call Carsons mom and talk to her, don't worry about her. I think I know where she ran too and I know she wouldn't want anyone to know where she is, especially you. So, until she comes around, don't beat yourself up." Her mom told me. I just nodded my head. She got up and left.

Winter's POV:

After Greg left, I decided to take a shower, then text, actually FaceTime Jordyn. I'm just hoping she's not with anyone. I guess I'll have to text Greg and ask him to text her just to be sure.

I went into the bathroom and started the shower. I waited to get in to make sure the water was hot. I turned on music, took my clothes off and got in. I started singing while washing my hair. After I rinsed my hair out, I washed my body, then got out. I wrapped a towel around me, grabbed my phone and texted Greg asking him to text Jordyn to see if she's by herself before I randomly call her.

I know she's going to freak out, but I just need to let her know where I am. She's going to ask a bunch of questions that I'm probably not going to answer. If she even mentions Carson, I don't know what I'll do. I just want to forget that anything ever happened.

I kind of wished we never went to Halloween Horror Nights. But I guess everything happens for a reason.

As I was getting dressed; Greg texted me back, "she's alone. go ahead and call her." I texted him back, "thank you! calling her now :)"

I finished getting dressed and sat on Greg's bed. I found Jordyn's contact and FaceTimed her. She answered and started freaking out a little bit.

"Jordyn, please calm down and listen to what I have to say. Then you can talk again." I told her.

"Okay, okay." She said.

I told her exactly where I was, and why I ran here.

"I ran here because I knew no one would've even guessed where I went. Greg was the only option, besides carson but I couldn't bare to see his mom or him the same night." I told her.

"Winter, you did the right thing. You went to someone you could trust. I mean you could've came here because you know I wouldn't have told anyone, but I'm glad you went to Greg's, it'll make Summer and Carson suspicious, but that's a good thing because they deserve it." Jordyn said.

"Exactly what I'm saying. Carson FaceTimed Greg earlier too. I heard everything carson said but I don't believe him. But can you please come over? I hate being here alone and I don't dare to go anywhere by myself." I said.

"Sure thing. Give me 5 minutes tops. I'll be there." Jordyn said.

"Sounds good. Just come right in. I'll text Greg and let him know, even though he's not going to care." I told her.

"Okay. See you soon winter." She said.
