My name is Dawn Winters and I don't believe in love, I don't believe in much honestly because I've seen first hand some of the dark parts of this world. It almost makes you not want to be a part of it but I gotta stay strong and keep fighting because I've seen some good and I have to believe there is more good out there. I don't want to give up on hoping, hope is all I have.

"Hey Dawn!" His smooth voice fills my ears, automatically causing me to roll my eyes. "What do you want Jackson?" I grumble.

"Tsk tsk, play nice okay?" He throws his arm over my shoulder, giving it a light squeeze that causes me to tense up. "What. do. You. want?" I enunciate each word as I say them.

"Well a smile would be a nice start" A smirk graces his lips. "How about.." I tap my bottom lip pretending that I'm thinking about it as we stop walking, I turn to look at him. "No" I state coldly.

Everyday he waits outside my last class of the day and walks me to my dorm while pestering me. It's become a daily routine for us, some bickering here and banter there. I guess somewhere along the way I started enjoying his company and the conversations we share but of course I would never admit that.

I don't believe in love, remember? And I sure as hell don't believe in relationships but something about him has me wanting to tear down my walls and let him in. But I can't do that.. Can I?All Rights Reserved
