"Some of the best things in life are
mistakes"

Winter
I woke up and saw I was cuddled up next to Dallas. Naked. I started freaking out. I just slept with my best friend.

I got up quickly and pulled on my clothes. I reached for the door but a something stopped me.

Dallas
I woke up and saw Winter was trying to leave. I knew I screwed up.

"Winter. I'm sorry" I said shamefully.

She stopped and looked at me. She was crying. Oh God please tell me I didn't hurt her.

"Winter," I said softly getting up pulling on my pants.

I walked over to her and cupped her face but she pushed me away.

"Dallas, please don't touch me," she said crying.

"I'm sorry Winter! I'm so so sorry! I ruined your life and I took something from you that you can never get back! I shouldn't have done it. You weren't ready. Why am I so fucking stupid!" I yelled at myself.

She looked at me shaking her head.

"Dallas...I'm gonna go..." she said quietly and walked out.

I let her.

Winter
I ran home and into my room slamming the door shut. What did I just do?! There was a small knock and I opened it a bit to see Soda. I let him in.

He sat on the chair and I sat on my bed. I felt so...slutty.

"Win, what's wrong?" he asked and I cried.

"Dallas h-he" I started but he cut me off.

"If he hurt you he's gonna die!" he snapped but I shook my head.

"Dallas and I we uh...did it last night," I said crying.

"Did he force you?!" he said with anger.

"God no! I told him I was ready but I don't know what I was thinking! Why am I always fucking up Soda?!" I yelled and he shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

"Dallas doesn't love me. I thought he did that's why I did what I did. I thought he loved me but he's Dallas Winston! He doesn't love or care for anyone except Johnny!" I said with sadness and he shook his head.

"What about you? Do you love him?"

"I uh I don't know. I don't want to bit I do. I didn't ask to feel like this and I defiantly didn't ask for this crazy shit. Truth is I was never happy with Seth but with Dallas...it's different. Seth, while he was gone I never missed him. Dallas when he left or when he was gone I missed him like crazy. I don't know Soda. I really don't. Sometimes I wonder if I'm even worth it" I trailed off and he sprung up.

"Winter Angel Curtis! You are worth it and Dallas does love you and you love him! I see the way he looks at you. I hate it I really do but I know he will take care of you. I see it in his eyes Win" he said and I shook my head.

"How can you tell?"

"Well Dally looks at you like Dad looked at Mom and we both know Dad really loved her a lot," he said and I nodded slowly.

"You should talk to him. He's probably beating himself up"

"What if I find out it was all a joke?" I asked and he shrugged.

"Well Jenna, Sam, Darry, Pony, and I will best his ass," he said and I laughed and laughed him.

"Wish me luck..." I trailed off and went back over to Bucks. Yay.

Dallas
I sat there on my bed with a blade in my hands. I couldn't live without her. I messed up and messed up bad. I did something unforgivable. Why did I do it?

I was about to cut my wrist when the door opened and I saw Winter. She saw the blade and walked over taking it from me.

"Why?" she asked softly not looking up. Her hair fell in front of her face so I couldn't tell what she was thinking.

"Winter I-" I started and was about to grab her hand but I stopped.

"I love you, Winter. I'm not gonna fight it anymore. If I have to live one more second without your smile I can't take it. You mean a lot to me and I hate it when you're mad at me and I hate when I have to sit here with regret. I'm sorry but I can't do it" I said and she looked up at me. Her eyes were red and her makeup was running down her face.

"Winter?" I said quietly.

She took a deep breath and ran her fingers through her hair.

"Dallas...I can't love you" she said quietly and I nodded.

"I understand. You're getting over some loser who didn't deserve you. I get it. You want him still and not me. But I w-just forget it" I said and walked downstairs.

Winter
I told him I couldn't love him. The truth is I did love him. I couldn't get him out of my head. But he left. He left me again. I cried and cried when I saw the blade on the bed. I grabbed it and cut my wrist. I watched as the blood fell. I sighed and covered it up with my shirt and put the blade in my pocket.

I walked downstairs seeing Dallas freaking out.

"I love her man! I can't stop I don't know why! What did I do wrong?! I was the only one who never stopped loving her! Even in the three years, I was here I still thought about her every day! Everything she got for me I still have! Why did I decide to fuck it up Buck?!" he yelled and I saw tears fall from his eyes and down his cheeks. I've never seen him cry. I caused this, didn't I...I always do.

Dallas
I was freaking out and Buck poked me and I stopped. I saw Winter walking past us.

"Winter," I said quietly. She didn't respond. She really hated me.

Once she left I laid my head on the counter.

"Buck...give me the strongest drink you have," I asked him.

He gave me this drink and God was it strong. After a lot of drinks, I collapsed to the ground passing out.

Oh, the goddamn troubles I've caused.
