Winter's P.O.V

"This is the one, Bradley. It looks exactly like the one back at home." I say and Bradley stops the bike. I get off and Bradley follows me. We stand behind a tree and Bradley gets his phone out.

"I think we should get the police here." I suggest and Bradley nods, taking out his phone and dialing the police.

"Hello? Its Bradley... yeah Lucy, we need you to come to Peann Beach. Yeah, it's about Phillip. Okay, I'll tell you after. Thanks, bye." Bradley hung up the phone then smiled at me. I looked at him and rose an eyebrow.

"Bradley, this is no time for you calling your girlfriend." I frown and Bradley chuckles.

"I told you before I didn't have one. I was calling an undercover cop. We met her when we 'rescued' you from Phillip and that. She is trying to get Phillip behind bars for a long time apparently. Oh and she has been trying to get Sally and Hector too. So after this, hopefully, everything will be okay." Bradley smiles and I smile back.

This meant so much to me. Phillip would stop trying to make me work for him and I will finally be free from this torture. I can finally rest and know that he will be in jail. This is what I have been hoping for, for years!

"Thank you Bradley. I don't know what I would've done without you." I say truthfully and Bradley nods.

"I'm here, thats all I want you to know." He smiles and I nodded,  thanking him once again. We sit behind the tree, hoping the men at the door won't see us and we waited for the police to come.

"They're here!" I whisper to Bradley and he nods. I look behind the tree to see the men were walking into the house, which was a good sign. I noticed the cars were parked a few metres away from the house, to make it not look suspicious.

We both got up and walked towards the four black undercover cop cars that were parked in a row. One car door opened, revealing a girl with beautiful black hair with purple streaks. She was wearing black sunglasses and a maroon t-shirt with black jeans. I'm sure she had armor underneath.

"Hey Lucy." Bradley greeted with a smile. She held out her hand and he shook it. "Nice to see you again Bradley. This must be Winter?" Lucy looked at me and she held out a hand for me to shake, which I did.

"Winter, we are aware of your past with Phillip and we are here to stop him from whatever he is doing now. Who is in the house now?" Lucy asked and I bit my lip.

"My mom, her friend, four boys and their grandma." I say and she nods. She calls over the other people who were standing by their cars and they walked over. Lucy said something to them and they nodded, walking to the back of Lucy's car and grabbing out a few things.

"So, I'm confident we are going to catch him this time. If not... well, if that happens I'll figure that out but I'm sure this will be the last time he will get up to these stupid plans of his. Oh, and other cops have gone to the warehouse and are now arresting the two dogs. So hopefully, everything goes to plan and we can finally get this dick in jail." Lucy smiles and I give her a weak smile before looking down at the ground.

"Oh and by the way, I'm going to have to ask you to go in and find the room where everyone is. Don't worry, Phillip won't touch you." Lucy says and I nod. She grabs the gun from the guy behind her and shoves it in her belt.

"Okay, come on."

Sam's P.O.V

"Okay, knock knock." Alec suddenly said and we all looked at him. He shrugged and rolled his eyes.

"Jesus, I was just trying to pass time." He mumbles and we all turn back to whatever we were looking at. Me? I was looking at the ceiling. Why? I didn't even know.

Suddenly, we heard a thud and a few groaning sounds. The guy in the room instantly went outside and closed the door behind him. We heard another thud.

"Is there like wire out there? I swear, they are all tripping over something." Hayden said and I heard Alec chuckle. "Aye."

There were a few more groaning sounds and then a sharp scream. I sounded so familiar...

"Oh my god... am I the only one that recognised that scream?" Kelly spoke up. I looked to her and nodded.

"It sounded like-" I was cut off when I heard the door start to creak open. We all saw black shoes and I smiled remembering that she wore black shoes.

Oh my-

"Bradley?" We all said in unison. Bradley stepped in and waved at us before coming forward and untying us. Then we all looked up when we heard a sharp intake of air. Then slowly, we saw a blonde strand of hair step into the room and thats when we all screamed out.

"Winter!" We all screamed in joy. Kelly was the first one to be untied so when she was finally free, she ran up to Winter and hugged her. Then we when we were all free from the ropes, we all jumped up and ran towards her, except for me.

I stood in front of my chair, just looking at the scene. When everyone was done hugging each other and sharing a few tears, they all stepped back. I watched as Winter's eyes looked up and met mine. She spread a small smile on her face and she ran up to me and hugged me. I smiled and rested my head on hers.

"Your okay." She mumbled, gripping at the side of my shirt. I played with the bottom of her curls and smiled.

"Of course I am. How about you? Are you alright?" I asked and she looked up at me. I could see tears in her eyes. When one tear fell, I rose my hand up to her face and wiped it away with my thumb. Winter stood up on her toes and kissed me softly. She then balanced her toes back on the ground and hugged me again.

"I'm just happy everyone is safe now."

Winter's P.O.V

We stood outside, watching as the police officers grabbed the back of the men's hands tightly, telling them to shut up and stop groaning. After two minutes of watching everyone walk out, Phillip walks out. I noticed his smirk was still on his face. I tightened my jaw.

"Winter." He nods and I narrowed my eyes at him. I felt Sam pull me to his side, making me look up at him. He kisses my forehead and smiles.

"Its okay now." He whispered and I nodded slightly, continuing to watch as Phillip went into the back of the vehicle. I felt a tear drop down my face but I quickly wiped it away. I was so happy inside but I masked it and kept my emotions blank.

When the cars drove off, everyone started to talk but I stood there, watching the grass move slightly with the wind. I felt Sam tug at my arm, pulling me inside. I frown at him.

"What are you doing?" I ask him but he doesn't say anything. He continues to drag me inside. I sigh and follow him. We ended up walking up the stairs and I stopped, feeling the tears sting in my eyes once more.

"Sam, I... I-I don't want to go up there..." I say and Sam kissed my cheek softly before whispering, "I'm right here, Winter. It's okay." He says and I look at him for a few more seconds before walking up the stairs. We started to walk down the hallway and I suddenly knew where he was taking me.

My old room...

I had so many memories there. I was only here for a week but I did a lot of things during that week. That was the week when I first arrived in London with Kyle. In that room, it held a lot of memories with me and Kyle. As much as I wanted to walk in there, I couldn't. I couldn't stand the memories and images that was certainly going to float back into my head.

I closed my eyes tightly before walking with Sam down the hallway again. Even if I wanted to stop walking, Sam wouldn't make me turn around, he would make me walk forward with him.

We stood in front of my door and I looked at the pink sparkles on it. I remember Kyle doing it for me when I was asleep. He knew I loved pink and he knew I loved sparkles so the night before my birthday, he had secretly decorated my door. I smiled at the memory.

I woke up and rubbed my eyes. I smiled when I remembered it was my birthday but my smile disappeared when I knew Uncle Phillip wasn't go to celebrate my birthday, he was probably just going to make me do less work today. I got up from my bed and walked out of my bedroom heading to the bathroom. But I stopped when I noticed I saw something on my door.

I turned around to see Kyle smiling at me, holding a present in his hand. I smiled and looked at the door again. "Did you do this?" I asked, the smile growing.

Kyle stepped forward and handed me the pink wrapped box shaped present and hugged me. "Of course, who would you think did it? Phillip?" He chuckled and I shook my head, chuckling with him.

"I love it." I say and he smirks. "Not as much as you would like your present." He says and looks down at the thing in my hands. I smile and sit down on the floor and open the present. A gasp escaped my lips when I saw what it was.

"Told ya." Kyle chuckles and I grin and hug him. "Oh my god, thank you so much, Kyle! Your the best brother in the world!" I say and pick up the small necklace which had a snowflake on it. Kyle hugged me back after muttering, "Your only brother, sis."

I push the door open and walk in, going to my drawer and pulling it open. Sam stood behind me and I slowly looked at the necklace that was laying there. It still looked new.

I picked up slowly and smiled at it. "Its still here." I mumbled softly and sit on my bed. I run my thumb over the snowflake and smile weakly.

"Its beautiful." Sam says and looks at me for a second. I nod and he grabs it out of my hands carefully and moving my hair out of the way. "Do you want me to out it on?" Sam asks and I nod. I felt the cold silver touch my neck making me raise my shoulders, letting out a chuckle. I feel Sam's hands leave my neck and I look down at the snowflake, smiling uncontrollably.

"It matches you, you know? Your name is Winter and you have a necklace with a snowflake on it and you named our dog Snowflake." Sam chuckles and I look at him, raising an eyebrow.

"Whats wrong with Snowflake?" I asked, chuckling slightly. Sam shook his head and stroked my arm before standing up.

"Nothing, I love the name." He says and I nod. "Good."

I stand up and walk over to the little desk on the side of my room and look at everything on it. There was a small alarm clock, a few pens and a book. I remember what it was for and I closed my eyes tightly.

"I want you to write about mom and dad, Winter. One day, and I promise, we will go to them together and hand them our books. As crazy as it sounds, we will do this together." Kyle says, holding his pinky out. I smile but connect his pinky with mine.

"Do you promise to come with me? I'm scared..." I mumbled and Kyle wrapped an arm around my shoulder.

"I pinky swear, Winter. I love you and I would never break a promise. And I am scared too... but we have to do this." Kyle smiles at me and I grab his hand and hold onto it.

"Okay."

"He broke his promise." I mumbled. Sam looked at me, confused. I picked up the book and showed him.

"Kyle gave me this and told me to write about my mother and father and then, when we would see our parents, we would give our books to them. He pinky promised..." I say and Sam sighed, holding me close to him.

"Winter, he couldn't help what happened. He was unaware, just like you." Sam says and I wipe the tears away. Gosh, I am crying a lot today. I stayed quiet and slowly nodded, understanding what he had said. I opened the book and skimmed over the words quickly. I couldn't help but laugh.

"What?" Sam asked, looking over my shoulder. I walk over to the bed again and sit down.

"It says, 'I want to meet my prince charming just like in the books... but sometimes I wonder if that actually happens'... that's funny."

"How is that funny?"

"This is real life... I was relying on a book about the whole 'prince charmimg' thing. But look, I didn't have to wonder because your here." I look up at him and he smiles. Oh how I loved his smile. He holds the side of my face and I lean into his hand, closing my eyes and I felt Sam's lips connect with mine.

Sam may not be a prince charming but he was my prince charming. And as much as he didn't act like a gentlemen sometimes, it didn't matter because I was in love with him and I didn't care if he wasn't perfect because he was perfect in my eyes.
