Winter Addington, a music artist on the rise, believes that her world is built on the weakest of foundations. One wrong move and everything she ever loved and knew will come crumbling down.
Until one day, a chance encounter with Jonah Marais, turns...
It was currently 9:08 p.m. on the 20th June, 2018. I had been waiting since the past two hours for Fred to show up. I had set up everything. From his favorite food to his favorite music, I did everything that would make him happy so that we could spend one night in peace in just each other's presence. I even dressed up because he keeps complaining that I don't put in efforts to look good enough. He just didn't show up. I called him like 15 times now. He hasn't picked up my calls neither has he replied to my texts. I banged my fist down on the table in pure frustration. I need to cool down or I might break something. I do have anger management issues. It sucks but I learnt to accept it.
I took the keys of my car and walked toward the garage. I looked at my car proudly. It was the first thing that I bought for myself from my hard earned money. The day I set my eyes on her I knew I had to have her. The day I bought her was one of the best days of my life. I drove for hours on a stretch. She was a black Audi R8. She is literally my baby. I love her. Whenever I am angry or frustrated, I always take her on a drive or I read. But sometimes, I don't really have the patience to read when I am angry. So, my car is kind of my best friend.

I pulled out of my garage and turned on the radio. I could keep on driving for hours, while listening to music. One day, I just drove around for hours and Makayla got really worried because I hadn't replied to her neither did I call her. The consequences weren't amazing. Makayla worries too much. I don't know why but she says that she can't trust me when I am alone. I tend to do crazy stuff. My song Forever Us came on the radio. I wrote this soon after Fred and I told our first 'I love you's. They seem meaningless now. However, I feel excited whenever my songs come on.
I was giving my driving test when the radio played my song for the first time. I literally screamed out of excitement. I even went on to hug the test conductor. I laughed at that memory. I love what I do. I especially love the fact that people love what I do and I am able to make a small amount of difference in their life.
After driving around for more than an hour, I pulled over to this coffee shop called 'Caffeinated'. It looked quite aesthetic. Amazing place to Instagram. It was a 24 hour coffee shop. As I entered, the bell on the door chimed. The shop had a warm feel to it. The smell of coffee reached my nose and breathed it in. There was huge bookshelf right in the front and a few board games stacked on the table beside it. There were sofas in one corner and chairs and tables in one. They even had armchairs. I walked up to the counter and a boy of around 15 years greeted me with a warm smile. I smiled back.
"What can I get you, miss?" He asked softly, as if he didn't want to disturb the quiet and calm atmosphere around us.
In the same tone, I answered, " A hot chocolate would be great."
"Will be right back with one. Would you like anything else?" he asked. I nodded no. He asked me to have a seat saying he would bring my order to me. Before I sat down I took a look at their bookshelf and saw Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone there. Without hesitating for a second, I took it and sat on the armchair in the corner by the window.
