"She tries to smile,
to feel happy, but she just feels so...
empty"

Winter
It's been a week since I've seen my brothers...or the guys. Seth and I haven't left our house. Not even once. He wouldn't let me.

"Seth, can I please see my brothers?" I asked and he shook his head.

"No. I want you to myself" he said possessively.

"I'm gonna go Seth. You can come with me or not. That's your choice" I said and he nodded.

"I'll come with!" he said quickly and we walked out of the house back to my old one.

Dallas
I was sitting at the bar again. Drinking. I had this feeling I couldn't shake. I tried drinking to drown out the pain but then I kept thinking of her more. God, what was she doing, to me? I sat there laying my head on the bar. Moments later I started hitting my head against the counter.

"Stop Dallas. You don't need her. You don't like her. You don't feel anything. You don't care for her. She's just another broad" I whispered to myself but I knew it wasn't true. She wasn't a broad.

"Buck, another," I said and he shook his head.

"Go to The Curtis's. Now" he said and I groaned standing up.

I walked to their house and I saw Winter in Seth's lap. Immediately I walked out. I decided to cause some trouble. She didn't want to see me and no matter how much it hurt I had to suck it up and move on.

I walked to a random store and caused trouble. I messed things up. Ripped things. Whatever. I took a spray can and started painting the walls. Soon enough the cops came and I went willingly. I didn't care.

They threw me in a cell and I sat there with my head in my hands. I felt empty.

Winter
I saw Dallas for the first time in a week and he left. Seth held me tightly and I let him. I didn't know what to do anymore.

"Seth. I'm gonna go check on him" I said and he let go of me. Strange.

I walked around and saw some cops putting him into a car. I wanted to scream. I wanted to yell but nothing came out. I saw them drive away. I felt empty. I didn't know why.

Seth
I was sitting at home angry. No furious. I told her she couldn't see him anymore. No one was home except for me. Jenna was with Soda and Sam was with Johnny. Not surprising. All three of them are sluts.

Once I saw Winter walk through those doors I pushed her against the wall and slapped her.

"What did I fucking say!" I snapped and I saw a tear fall.

"WHAT DID I SAY!" I yelled and she wiped it away.

She looked at me with a blank expression. She looked empty. Sad. She looked like she gave up.

"What the fuck is wrong with you? Do you need other guys to satisfy you?! Is one not enough!" I snapped at her and she blinked and looked at me with hate.

She pushed me back and slapped me.

"HOW DO YOU FUCKING LIKE IT! HOW DO YOU FEEL WHEN YOU'RE TREATED LIKE AN ANIMAL?! How does it feel" she seethed and I pushed her.

She fell onto the glass table and glass shattered everywhere.

"Look what you did dumbass! You broke a table!" I snapped and she got up looking me in the eye.

"You don't fucking own me. I'm your girlfriend now a fucking toy" she said calmly and I pushed her again against the wall. Hard.

I heard a crack but she didn't flinch, cry, or snap.

"You constantly hurt me. Beat me down. Emotionally and physically. I don't care anymore, Seth. I can't feel anything" she said and I took a knife and cut her arm. The broken one. Nothing happened.

"I feel nothing. Something isn't right. I can't feel and now I don't even know what to do"

"You wanna know what you can do?" I asked and she cocked her head to the side.

"What?"

"You can stop being a whore and stop sleeping with Dallas," I said and she chuckled.

"I'm not sleeping with him and I don't like him like that. We're friends and that's that" she said and I punched her in the face.

Her nose started to bleed. I broke it.

"I don't even care. Kill me. Deep down I kinda want you to" she said and I walked upstairs throwing her clothes in a bag.

I threw it at her and opened the door pushing her out the door and onto the ground.

"Get out," I said and she got up walking away.

I watched her.

Winter
Something wasn't right. I couldn't feel anything. No pain, no sadness, nothing. I knew it would kick in later though. Oh well.

I walked back to my childhood home. The place I loved the most and still do.

I walked in and everyone looked at me.

"WINTER!" they all yelled at the same time and all I could do was laugh. No one really cared. No one.

Suddenly everything went black.

Darry
Winter walked inside with a bag. She was bloody and bruised but still had her smile.

"WINTER!" we all yelled and she laughed. Something wasn't right.

She fell to the ground and I picked her up. She was too light. Whoever did this to my baby sister is gonna die. If not by me then by the whole gang.

"Soda, get some towels. Pony, get the kit" I said calmly and then they ran off.

Soda laid the towels down and I laid her on her stomach. She had glass in her back.

"Everyone out. I don't care where but get out of this room" I said and everyone left.

"Pony, Soda, Sam, Jenna. You can stay" I announced before they walked away and then they sat close to Winter. Not to close.

I shook my head and I saw Pony crying. Sam and Jenna comforted him while Soda had a blank expression on his face. He looked at me and then I saw it. It was sadness and fear.

"She's broken"
