Chapter 36

Johnathon POV

I’m not going to lie, I’m fairly concerned about Winter. I mean, she could have at least waited for us to escort her

home for heaven’s sake. As it is, it’s the next morning and I’m impatiently waiting by the gate to see her and that blasted annoying brother Damien of hers. Alright, maybe Damien’s not that bad, but he is still annoying. There are

other students trickling in and lignore the looks, the curiosity on their stupid faces. I only have one person I’m

interested in seeing and that’s Winter. No one else. I ignore the small voice in my head that reminds me I rejected her

and have no business being this protective towards her.

So, when Damien slowly comes trudging through the crowd, I’m puzzled to see he’s all alone, instead of with his

sister Winter. Had he left her at home? All by herself? I feel my anger rising and I shove through everyone, the others scattering out of my way. Good. Damien looks up and I swear he’s been crying, his eyes are all red and puffy, there are dried tear tracks on his cheeks. It’s unnerving to see a young man as tough as him in such a mess. Had something happened to Winter? I began to feel a sense of panic. No don’t let it be that, let it be something else, anything else.

“We need to talk” Damien says in a low voice, and I grabbed his jumper and fairly dragged him into the school

building and into an empty classroom, before releasing him.

“Talk” I snapped, crossing my arms and glowering at him “where the hell is your sister Damien? Where is

Winter?”

He hesitates and my eyes turn pitch black in warning as he gulps and looks away, too frightened to look me in

the eyes. My impatience is mounting.

“She ran away” he finally says and for a minute I stood there in disbelief, unable to comprehend it. He had to be

joking. Winter was one of the most stubborn girls I’ve ever seen. She wouldn’t have just left. I refuse to believe that.
