Sam's P.O.V

"What the fuck are we doing here?" Hayden asks as he looks down at the stone which had Harper's name engraved in it with her date of birth and her date of when she died. I sigh and pat Hayden's shoulder. He looks over at me and I sit down on the cold grass. Hayden sits down next to me and starts to play with the flower that was laying on the dirt.

I know Hayden is drunk right now but I know this was a good time. Especially when Harper is in his mind. So I brought him here, hoping that the lies will be covered up and replaced with the truth.

I hear Hayden sniff and I look over at him. Hayden was crying and I couldn't help but throw my arm around his shoulder.

It was the right time.

Winter's P.O.V

"Why the hell isn't he answering?" I mutter as I start to call him again. The annoying voice comes on again telling me that he isn't avaliable. I groan and run my hands down my face.

Before I can let out some incoherent words, I hear a soft knock at my door which makes Amanda and I look up.

"Winter, can I talk to you for a second?" My dad says and I look at Amanda and she nods. I flash her a forgiving smile and push myself off my bed, walking out of my room and standing in front of my dad.

"I have to go." He says, not beating around the bush. I gap and he smiles.

"I'll come back, don't worry. But I am just telling you, I have to go... somewhere." My dad says and I nod.

"Okay." I say and I give him a hug. He hugs me back just as tight and I smile.

I still can't believe my dad, my actual father is here... in my life. After ten birthday wishes, 56 prayers and 87 dandelions, my wish came true. He was actually here and I was still having such a had time believing it. Some may call it luck but I call it a miracle.

"I love you my sweet little daughter." My dad says and I laugh as he let's go of me.

"I love you too, dad." With two more hugs, I watch as he walks down the stairs and towards my mom, probably saying goodbye to her. I smile at the sight of my mom's face. I don't know what she was feeling inside but she was definitely happy.

I hear Amanda call my name and I walk back in my room. "Whats up?" I ask and she looks down at my phone. I pick it up to see that it was a message from Becky.

Sorry to bother you but I just want to make sure Sam and Hayden is with you. They haven't been picking up my calls and I am getting worried. Thanks Winter x - Becky

I look up at Amanda, shock filling my body. Amanda reads it and her eyes widen.

They weren't with us. They haven't even been answering our calls either. Now we were worried and speechless. This definitely wasn't like the boys and now, I was afraid of what was going to happen if I tell Becky the truth.

Hopefully they aren't in trouble.

Sam's P.O.V

"Are you okay now?" I ask Hayden and he wipes the tears off his cheeks, nodding slowly. I smile at him and help him up.

"I'm so sorry. I've been acting like a dick." Hayden mumbles and I shrug.

"You have but you were drunk so it's all-"

"No, no, no. Not just today but everyday. Every single day I act like a complete asshole to everyone and they don't even do anything. I mean, I haven't been myself ever since Harper's passing. I just miss her so goddamn much it hurts. It kills me." Hayden says as he let's out a shaky sigh. His head turns to me and I watch as his eyes narrow at me. I sigh and nod, knowing that he needed to realise his anger somehow.

He walks to a tree and punches it hard. Hayden lets out a scream and I sigh when I knew how hard it is for him right now. I've been in the same position as him and I know what he is feeling. Regret. He regrets not caring, he regrets not doing anything, he regrets not showing that he does love Harper.

And the thing is that we both left it till the last minutes to show how we really feel.

"I HATE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH HARPER!" Hayden screams again as he lands his fist into the tree again.

"I HATE YOU FOR NOT TELLING ME! I HATE YOU FOR NOT SPEAKING TO ME! I HATE YOU FOR THE DECISION YOU MADE!" Hayden's voice goes quieter and his punches begin to go weak. I watch as he rests his head against the tree, letting out a shaky laugh.

"But you know what I hate the most? The fact I did nothing... I did nothing to show that I was there for you when you needed me the most. Everyone was there... except for me. So basically I hate myself the most." I walk over to Hayden and rest my hand on his shoulder. I can't help but frown at the sight of Hayden. He looks so tired.

"I'm so fucking sorry." He mutters and I nod.

"I know you are and I bet she does too."

"Where the hell have you been!" My mom immediately screams as I push the door open. I look at my mom, confused but when I see that my mom's eyes were red and her cheeks were puffy, I let out a sigh.

"I'm sorry, mom." I mumble and she runs towards Hayden and I and hug us both.

"Gosh, I have been calling everyone asking if they were with you but they said that you guys weren't! I was so scared and worried!" My mom cries and she pulls away to look at the both of us. Me first.

"Where's your phone?" She asks and I point upstairs. "In my room."

"Well, I bet you have a million texts and missed calls! What have I told you about leaving your phone at home?" My mom frowns and I sigh, apologizing again.

My mom turns to Hayden but her eyebrows furrow. "Have you been crying?"

Before I could get involved with this, I decide to go to my room since Hayden needed to talk to her. When I step into my room, I notice my phone flashing and I walk over to it and look at the Caller ID.

Winter.

I immediately grab my phone and put it to my ear. I wait for Winter to speak but I don't hear her voice; only her soft breathing. I sigh and mumble a 'hey' before taking a seat on my bed.

Winter's P.O.V

"Hey," I hear Sam's voice and I feel the lump in my throat I had mere seconds ago return and I find myself speechless.

I don't know why I was speechless, it's just the fact that I had worried so much about Sam. Thoughts came into my head and they made me think the worst. I knew he went to party with Hayden and knowing the both of them, they liked to drink.

The memory of that night came back and I inhaled a sharp breath.

Once I reached the top of the stairs, I heard a knock come from the front door. That must be Hayden and Sam since they haven't came home from whatever they were doing.

I sighed and walked downstairs again. The knocking then turned to banging and I rolled my eyes and started to walk to the door.

"I'm coming!" I say with a yawn but the banging didn't stop.

I gripped at the door handle, unlocked the locks and swung the door open. Hayden stood there holding his forehead while Sam was taking swigs of a clear liquid.

Vodka.

I looked at Hayden and noticed he had blood all over his left hand and his lip was busted and some dry blood from his nose. I gasped and grabbed his hand and pulled him into the house towards the kitchen.

"You sit here. Just wait." I say to Hayden and he rests his forehead on the table. I look at Sam who was laughing and smirking as he took some more gulps of the vodka.

Crap. He's drunk.

The worst of the worst came into my head and I couldn't get my head around the fact that the two might have been hurt...

Dead...

But the little hope I was still clinging onto made me try one last time. I was on the verge of breaking down when I heard the ringing. I was happy, yes, but a part of me was questioning if he would pick up. Two seconds later I heard Sam's breathing and I couldn't help but listen to it; remember it. I don't know why but I just had the need to listen to his breathing... it calms me down.

But when he said 'hey', my heart raced and my breathing started to pick up and that lump came back in my throat which made me not speak and made Sam repeat his greeting.

"Hey," He repeats and I swallow the saliva that was in my throat and sigh quietly.

"Hi,"

After I had said that one word, it was silent once again. I wait for him to speak but he didn't. I try to get the words out of my mouth but they stayed lodged in my throat.

"Winter, are you... crying?" I hear Sam's voice ask. I bite my lip and raise my index finger to my cheek and feel my tears that continues to roll down my cheeks.

"Y-yes." I mumble and I hear Sam sigh.

"Wait. Just wait." Sam says quietly before hanging up. I sigh and rub my eyes, not trying to worry to much. I lay down on my bed and place my hands on my heart, closing my eyes.

What was I actually waiting for?

Sam's P.O.V

"Eh, I can't do that again..." I mumble to myself before walking out of the icecream aisle. I wait past a couple more aisles until I find an aisle I think would have something I'm looking for.

I look at the item for a while and decide whether I should get it. After a few minutes, I grab the item and put it into the trolley. I check that I have everything then head over to the cash register.

"I hope this works."

●●●

I get out of the car and walk up her pathway way leading up to the porch. I ring the doorbell and no wait patiently until a certain someone opens the door.

"Hello Sam, you here for Winter?" Kelly asks and I nod, a small grin creeping onto my face. Kelly smiles at me and let's me in. I thank her and walk up the stairs. I start to walk towards Winter's room and I notice her door is closed.

I grab the handle and turn it slowly and inhale a sharp breath. Almost instantly, I see a small blonde in the bed and I smile at the image.

I close the door behind me and place the items beside the cupboard that was next to the door and walk over to Winter.

Her blonde locks were covering her face and she snored quietly. The blanket was tucked up to her neck and her face had that look of innocence that made her look absolutely adorable.

"Hey," I mumble, pushing her hair away from her face. Winter stiffens slightly but relaxes when I kiss her forehead. Her eyes open slowly and a small smile creeps on her face.

"Why did you come here?" Winter smiles, softly touching my cheek. I grab her hand and hold it in mine.

"Because I like seeing you." I whisper and Winter rolls her eyes. I chuckle and shake my head.

"Don't do that unless you want your eyes stuck at the back of your head."

"And you really listen to that."

"Its a good book." I smile and Winter looks at me, her smile still on her beautiful face.

"What?" I ask, trying not to grin. I was gonna say something smart but I don't know if it was the right time so I kept it simple.

"Don't ever stop smiling." Winter says and I smile some more at her words.

"Never will I ever stop smiling at a face as beautiful like yours. So you better get use to it." I say and Winter laughs.

"Never said I hated your smile but okay." Winter says and I nod.

"I know, who couldn't hate this?" I smirk and Winter rolls her eyes.

"I can if you keep complimenting yourself. Wasn't mine enough?"

"No, Winter. It wasn't enough."
