Winter had only quickly headed out to get lunch when Hazel turned up with the intention of going straight back to her room to eat, but she chose to sit down on a bench nearby to eat. She couldn’t be bothered with the awkward tension in the room if she went back. But just as she opened the paper bag to pull her sandwich out she stopped Hazel leaving the hotel. Alone. Was she crying? Winter almost ran after her to check she was okay because despite Hazel’s obvious disliking towards Winter she didn’t want the girl running off down the street crying. It was very much one sided when it came to Hazel too. She clearly had a problem with Winter, but Winter had no hard feelings towards Hazel. Why would she? She was her friend’s girlfriend. Winter wasn’t blind though, she knew why Hazel disliked her. It was because she was sharing a room with Lex, which granted was a little bizarre to the outside world, but it was convenient. Winter was all about convenience.
She peered up at the hotel building, looking at her window. She’d put a million dollars on the fact Lex had been the one to make Hazel cry. Sometimes he didn’t word things nicely. For someone like Winter it rolled off her back, but Hazel seemed a little sensitive. Nice little church girl who dressed sensibly. Probably said grace before dinner and shit. The whole church thing threw her off guard when Lex mentioned it. She never pictured Lex dating a church girl. It wasn’t like he stuck to those ten commandments such as “Honour thy father and thy mother.” and ““Thou shalt not steal.” But whatever his relationship with Hazel was none of her business.
Except there were times she found herself asking Lex was Hazel really the right girl for him? It wasn’t intending to be bitchy, she just didn’t want him to settle for the first girlfriend who fluttered her eyelashes at him. Lex never really answered though. He just shrugged his shoulders, his eyes glued to his screen as he shoved more candy into his mouth. Although she didn’t say it outloud Winter was convinced their relationship would crumble soon.
Winter stood up, wrapping her lunch back up before heading into the hotel. She gave the woman on reception a friendly smile as she walked by. She tapped her key card on the door, pushing it open. Lex wasn’t crying though, which was good. While he’d seen her sob harshly the thought of seeing him cry made her feel a little weird. “Here.” She dug inside the paper bag, pulling out a chocolate chip muffin and handing it to Lex. She climbed onto her bed, pulling her sandwich out the bag. “So… I’ve just seen Hazel… well, I saw her leavin’ the hotel, I didn’t speak to her. She looked upset.” She unwrapped her sandwich, taking a large bite from the corner as she watched Lex.
