Winter's P.O.V

"Their gone!" I sobbed as I sat in the gutter. "That douche bag took them! My mother, Becky, Emmaree, Alec, Cole, Hayden... Sam." I mumbled, wiping the tears away from my cheeks, but more tears ran down. I hiccuped and stood up, walking inside to find Bradley.

I find him picking up a picture of Harper. I walk up behind him and look over his shoulder. "You knew her?"

"Of course. She was an amazing girl." Bradley mumbles and I nod.

"Yeah, so I've heard." I smile, remembering all the good things I have heard about Becky's daughter. Harper had her hair down and it stopped at her shoulders. Her tan skin showed off perfectly as she sat on the swing, her eyes twinkling with excitement. She was wearing a yellow floral dress with black flats. I could see that Sam was smiling at her in the backround as he wrapped an arm around a girl which looked so familiar. The girl had red hair and she had green eyes. I narrowed my eyes, trying to figure out who it was and then it hit me.

Sally.

"You remember her, don't you?" Bradley asked, looking at me now. I close my eyes and rub my head.

"Somethings coming to mind..." I say and Bradley shuts up, helping me figure out something.

"Enjoy you two." She said and she looked at me with a nod.

"Winter." She said and walked away.

I gasped and ran my hands down my face. Everything came back, every memory I had with her. I turned to Bradley, wide eyed.

"She caused the car crash!"

Alec's P.O.V

"Fucking let me out, you sick bastard!" Kelly screams, banging her hands on the door. I walk up to her and bring her hands to her sides, pulling her away from the door.

"Kelly, please. You have to calm down." I say and Kelly turns to me, her tears running down her face.

"I don't know where my baby is! And that dumb fuck is out there laughing his ass off! How the hell can I calm down! I want to get out of her!" Kelly shouts and I sigh, turning to my mom. She nodded and walked over to where we stood and grabbed Kelly's shoulders.

"Kelly, come sit down." My mom says in a soothing voice. Kelly looks back at the door before walking with my mom to the other side of the room.

I sigh and run my hand through my hair. Sam was sitting in a chair, looking down at tge ground. I knew he was thinking about Winter. He cares so much about that girl, I swear. That's nice of him, to actually focus on something other than Harper for once. And Winter definitely meant so much to Sam. You could see it everytime he looked at her.

Cole and Hayden were still knocked out from the chloroform and I knew they would awaken soon, since they were moving slightly.

Emmaree was twirling a peice of string around her finger, over and over again. She did this when she was thinking about important things... I didn't know what but her mind was probably covered in questions.

I sighed when I remembered Amanda and what she had told me. If only she knew about what happened... she wouldn't have left.

I laid against the wall and closed my eyes, letting my mind womder. I knew Winter wasn't captured by Phillip's men because if she was, Phillip wouldn't be outside the door talking and laughing. She was safe... for now.

Winter's P.O.V

"What? What car crash?" Bradley suddenly asked once I sat down on Emmaree's bed. I ran my hands through my blonde hair, letting out a sigh.

"Sam and I went to a diner and a girl who was taking our order knew Sam and when she gave us our order, she left after saying my name. I didnt know her at all... until now. I know how she knows me." I take in a deep breath and sigh heavily, letting out a shaky breath.

"When I was younger, I lived with Phillip-"

"I know about that." Bradley cuts in and I look at him, confused but curious. I raise an eyebrow and wait for him to continue.

"Alec had told me the story. I'm sorry... about your brother." He mumbles and I nod slowly, before smiling weakly at him.

"Its okay." I mumble and Bradley rubs my back, making me sigh. He can be such a gentleman, this guy. I closed my eyes for a second before reopening them, ready to continue the story.

"Anyway... so when I arrived at school with the boys that day, I had stupidly dropped my lunch when I bumped into Sam. He was angry but he took me to a diner to feed me. When we arrived at the diner, a girl with red hair stood behind the counter and she obviously knew Sam."

"Sally..." Bradley mumbles and I nod.

"Yeah. When she gave us our food, she walked away but not before saying my name... I didn't think anything of it. I knew it from the start she was familiar and now I know. When I was working for Phillip when I was 14, I met Sally and she was three years older than me. Phillip sent her to take me to his building but Sally had other plans. From the start, I knew she didn't like me. I didnt know why but I just got that vibe she didn't like me. We didn't say a word while we were in the car and suddenly, she laughed. But it wasn't one of those happy laughs, you know? It was like she was up to something... and thats when it happened."

Sally laughed, a smirk on her face as she looked at the road. I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at her. She was paying attention to the road but I noticed she was gripping at the steering wheel tightly. I wanted to ask if something was wrong but ignored it. I didnt want her yelling at me. She seemed scary even when she was quiet.

Suddenly, I felt the car go faster than the current speed and thats when I noticed she was speeding, and that's when I noticed the cops were chasing us. I groaned quietly and I was about to take out my phone, planning to call Kyle but I couldn't. It was too late.

"She had crashed into a tree but she didn't do it accidentally... when we crashed, I felt dizzy but I didn't faint yet. The last thing I saw was Sally's foot still on the accelerator as she gave me one last smirk. Sally was about to pass out until I beat her to it. She had done it on purpose... She tried to kill me... and even if she wanted too, she would put herself in danger just to do it. I never understood her but now I do. Phillip got into her head." I rubbed my forehead and closed my eyes, trying to get the image of the accident out of my head.

"What happened after?"

"When we arrived at the hospital, it wasn't until 6 hours later I woke up and I couldn't remember anything from when I first met Sally to when I arrived at the hospital. I didnt know why I was there until the doctors had informed me. When they had told me I was in a car crash, I didn't remember anything still. It was all blank. Until now..." I finish, letting out a shaky breath. I looked down at the ground, just thinking about my life, how I could've avoided everything bad but I couldn't. I wouldn't say this was fate but I knew, I just knew my life wasn't going to be normal when I saw Phillip's face and that far away look in his eyes that made a million questions appear in my head.

I sighed and ran my hands down my face. "What do we do now?" I asked Bradley, looking at him as he looked at the wall in front of him. He looked at me with a serious look and I knew we weren't going to just sit here...

"Okay, we're going to make a plan."

"Is this really necessary?" I ask Bradley and he raises an eyebrow. I sigh and write down all the places where Phillip has taken me.

"There was the building where he took me recently." I say and Bradley nods.

"I remember but I don't think he would take them there. From what I know, Phillip never makes things easy. So think, Winter." Bradley says and I nod, continuing to write the places down.

I heard my phone buzz and I told Bradley to grab it. He picked up my phone and I watched his expression change. I look over and my mouth drops.

"She can't be..." Bradley mumbles. I feel my heart race as I read over the message that was from her.

Winter, please help me! I need you to come to the warehouse where I saw you last. Please! - Kate
