Winter's P.O.V

"You did great in there, Winter." Sam says as he walks towards me, bringing me into a warm hug. I smile and hug him back.

"I was really scared to see Phillip again though. God, if looks could kill..." I say referring to Phillips burning stare that pierced through me the entire time I was in the court room.

"Don't worry. It will be the last you'll see of him." Sam says and I pull away from him, pecking him on the lips.

"Oh my god, Winter!" I hear a certain voice say and I turn around to see Amanda running towards me. I smile and hug my best friend.

"Hey Amanda." I greet and Amanda smiles.

"I cant believe you survived through that. I was watching you the whole time and you kept a straight face. I'm so proud of you!" Amanda says and I chuckle.

"Yeah I did great, didn't I?" I say and Amanda nods, pulling away from me. After a few more hugs from Cole and Hayden, I notice Alec walking down the hall with Cassidy.

Cute.

"Hey Winter." Cassidy smiles and I wave at her, hugging her. After we finish hugging, I move onto Alec who still has that stupid smile on his face.

"Do I get a hug too?" I hear someone say behind me and when I register the voice, I let out a groan.

Danny.

For those of you who forgot who Danny is, he is Cassidy's brother. The one who kept touching my neck and trying to get with me? Yeah him.

"No." I say, crossing my arms over my chest. Sam looks between Danny and I and narrows his eyes at Danny.

"Stay away from my girlfriend, dude." Sam says and Danny raises his hands in the air, a smile on his face.

"Sorry, I was only playing." Danny says and I roll my eyes, walking to Sam and grabbing his hand.

"Okay, who wants to go to the beach?" Amanda asks, a grin on her face and I smile, nodding. Everyone else nods in agreement and I smile at Sam who is looking down at me with a grin.

Weirdo.

"Oh I could never leave your lips." I hear Amanda say beside me and I groan, running my hands down my face in digust.

"Could you guys go make out somewhere else?" I ask, turning to them. Amanda is straddling Hayden and they are both looking at me now.

"Nah, the sun feels amazing here." Hayden smirks and I roll my eyes, turning my head to look at Cassidy and Alec who were in each other's arms in the water, a small smile on both of their faces.

After everything they have been through, I can tell that they have put everything in the past and they are now just focusing on the present. I mean, who wouldn't? The past is when bad things happened and now, everyone seems to be happy. Even Cole and Danny who are checking out a few girls beside them; flirting with them.

Boys.

"I have the icecream." I hear someone say behind me and I turn around and see Sam holding two cones with mint icecream on top of them. I grin and grab the icecream out of his hand, licking it.

"God, I'm going to throw you both in the water if you keep sucking each other's faces." I hear Sam say and I grin at the couple beside us who are still making out loudly. Amanda rolls her eyes and Hayden flips Sam off, earning a chuckle from me.

"I'm going to ignore that." Sam says as he sits down next to me. I smile at him and watch as he eats his icecream. Suddenly, an idea appears in my head and I immediately push his icecream up in his face, letting out a squeal as I start to run away.

"You sneaky little-" He cuts himself off as he gets up, chasing after me. I let out a laugh and try to run as fast as I can on the sand.

Why is sand so hard to run on anyway?

"That ass though." I hear Danny say and I throw my icecream at him, making it land on his face. I laugh and continue to run, even though my mind is confused to why I just decided to throw that amazing icecream away.

As I run along the beach, I can't help but get lost in my thoughts about everything that has happened.

Phillip was now in jail for forty five years because of what he done to me, Kyle and the rest of mine and Sam's family. Since he dragged Sally and Hector into it, they got a sentence of ten years for kidnapping. That's what happens when you team up with a phsyco.

After Nick and Kate got arrested for setting the school on fire, they went to court with Gemma, Alec and I as witnesses. They got sentenced to three years and a large bill from the school to repay the damage they had caused. Ever since then, Amanda's family hasn't contacted Nick or answered his calls from prison. Gemma hasn't talked to Kate at all and she doesn't plan to when Kate gets out of prison.

Becky has started seeing some dude which I have only seen once. I think is name is Colton, I don't know but she has been seeing him for about a few months now and even though it has been a few months, that doesn't stop the boys from being protective over their mother.

My mom and dad have been going well now and I think they are deciding to get married again because since they didn't see each other in ages, my dad feels like it's the right thing to do.

Amanda and Hayden have been dating for a year now and I think they are going to stay together for a long time. Hayden has mention about proposing to my best friend but he has decided to wait until everything is settled down.

As for Bradley, we haven't heard from him since the last time we saw him and I think it's for the best that we hope to never see him again since Sam still hates his guts and I still don't like him for what he did to me but later on in life, we will learn to drop everything from the past and move on with out lives. Well, hopefully.

"And I've got you!" Sam says as I feel hands wrap around my waist, immediately picking my up and spinning me around. I let out a laugh and wait for Sam to put me down. When he does it turn around to see that he has some icecream on his nose and I laugh, shaking my head.

"You... have... icecream on... y-your nose!" I say through my laughs and Sam rolls his eyes, wiping it off.

"We've got you to blame for that, don't we?" Sam says and when I finish laughing, I grin at him.

"But you still love me." I say as I wrap my arms around Sam's neck. Sam sighs and nods, a small smile on his face.

"Sadly." He says and I hit his chest, chuckling.

"Your so mean." I say and Sam smirks, leaning his forehead on mine.

"What do you expect from a bad boy, aye?" Sam says and he pecks my lips.

"I expect a bad boy who is bad but loving when he is with his girlfriend." I say playfully and Sam chuckles.

"Your lucky I'm only like that with you." Sam says and I smile.

"I'm special that's why." I say with a small grin and Sam laughs, shaking his head.

"No, your perfect. That's why."

And I have decided to leave it there. This is officially the end of the book and I hope I have answered all the questions that have been clouding your mind for a while.

I don't know if I'll be doing a sequel but we will see, okay? I thank everyone who has been by my side and never left even when I gave up multiple times (I said this in the last chapter but who cares) and you guys are all amazing and so very special to me.

Please vote and comment even if this is the last chapter. I hope to see you all very soon if I decide to make a sequel ;)
