Winter
I open my eyes to see everyone passed out on the couch. I slip out of the girls arms and walk over to my bunk. I grab my blanket and climb into mamas bunk. Putting the blanket over me I close my eyes trying to drown out everything. Is is possible to sleep yourself today. I can hear movement in the front of the bus but I don't care anymore.
"Winter honey where are you?" I hear ally say.
I don't respond. I dig myself deeper into the covers trying to disappear from life. I hear more moving around and moving of objects.
"Dinah did you check the movie room," Lauren asked frantically.
"Yeah like three times. Where can she go?" Dinah said in a giving up voice.
I know what I'm doing is really bad but I just can't face them. You heard Noah. Get that brat and makeup artist to cover up her freak eyes.
"Wait the bunks!" Ally said excited
I groan thinking it's over now. I here them getting closer and closer to me until someone is right by me. I hold my breath trying to be a silent as possible.
"Wait she can be in the front front!" Normani yells.
I hear running and everything becomes quiet. Taking a deep breath I open the curtain.
"Gotcha," Lauren says.

Lauren
I catch winter in my arms before she falls down. She doesn't say anything but just rest her head on my chest. I hold her close to me brushing my fingers through her hair. I look down at her to see her crying into my chest. Aww poor baby.
"Winny don't listen to them. Listen to mama and mommy and all the girls," I try to explain to winter.
But nothing seems to work. She just cries harder into my chest. Maybe if I bring her over to Camila she'll stop crying. I walk into the front of the bus to see everyone searching. Camila sees winter and I and a small smile comes onto her face.
"Miji why you hide from us? We were so worried about you?" Camz says walking over to us.
Winter squirms out of my arms and runs toward the bunk but Camzi picks her up.
"LET ME GO! I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE! I CANT PRETEND THAT IM NOT KILLING YOU HERE WITH MY PROMBLEMS!," winter yells on top of her lung.
We all just stand there shock at what she said. She falls into Camila's chest and cries. Like hard on crying. I hate everyone for doing this to her. I shake myself out of my trance and look up to winter. She's holding Camila like her life depended on it.

Camila
I hug winter tight never wanting to let go of her. She's so broken right now and it brings tears to my eyes.
"W-winter," I stutter out trying to think of something.
I pick her head up so I can see her beautiful face. Honestly I think her eyes are beautiful. I rub my thumb down her cheek wiping her tears off. She looks up at me with a broken smile. I kiss the top of her nose and sit her down.
"Winter listen to me. And really listen ok. The world around us is a messed up place I'm not going to lie. There are always going to be people who want to make you feel ten times worst about yourself because that makes them feel better about themselves. But you need to spot out the others. The ones that make you feel better about yourself. Those all the people you need to stay close to. I can't promise you a life without pain and hurt but I can promise we will help you make you feel good about yourself," I say looking at winter.
She has her mouth open. She closes it and opens it again. I look up at everyone to see them tears coming down their faces. Was it that good. I love back down at winter to see her with furrowed eyebrows.
"That's why you guys are the one with the wings," she finally says.
I wipe a tear off my face and grab her in a hug. We all pull her and a hug and lay on the ground enjoying the time.
