      Escape to paradise?

[ Gigi's POV ]

I looked out the window as the sun set behind the mountains. the birds flew around chirping, I envy them.
Free.
they could go wherever they wanted to whenever they pleased.
struck by a few painful memories I shut the windows and turned to face my room. Fire. It's been a year since everything happened i do feel better but some things can't be forgotten. As I sat there thinking, my sister entered the room

" Gigi, mum says you've godda take out the trash " said  Bella

She was a some years younger than me, Bella had coloured her naturally blonde hair brown
" I have a darker personality " she usually said when anyone asked her why she did it.
Her eyes were Blue-Green just like mine. Sometimes I wondered if the real reason she coloured her hair was so we wouldn't look similar.

" Now Gigi !" Bella said peeping into my room indicating me to go down

She had to re-shoot her modeling portfolio tomorrow, there was an agency willing to sign her, but they said she had to submit a whole new set of pictures.

Watching Bella pace impatiently around the house as she did her
' night time skin routine' I scampered down  and was quick to notice a few parchments on the table, mum had done a very bad job of hiding them, if that's what she intended to do. I snuck by to take a peak. unable to believe what I saw I ducked back to take a better look but that's when my mom walked in, she was on the phone and didn't seem to be paying attention to me so I took the trash and swiftly left the place pretending I didn't see a thing. Smiling from ear to ear I walked out to the kerb, and anyone who saw me must've thought I was some kind of lunatic .

TICKETS TO HAWAII !

We planned to go last year, that is... before the accident.

After dinner I decided to go for a walk, I didn't like staying in my room much. It made me feel a little alone. I walked towards the Grill since I knew that's where my friends spend most of their time.

I spotted Kendall and her boyfriend Jordan by the deck. And walked towards them.
Jordan held a glass in his right hand and gave her a kiss. He seemed kind of drunk.
" Gigi ! Hey where've you been ? " she asked as Stassie joined us.

" So what're your plans for the summer, Gigi ? " asked Jordan giving me a smile.
" I think I might be going to Hawaii " I blurted out, shit I shouldn't have said that.
" You What!? " exclaimed Kendall. " that's amazing! I've always imagined what it would be like to go there, besides I'm sure they're a lot of cute guys! " added Stassie.
" ah so Gigi might come back with a boyfriend then " added tony winking at me. By this time I felt really uncomfortable.
" guys ! " whispered Kendall a little too loudly and signaled them to shut up but it was too late, I sunk down on a nearby chair.

My boyfriend, Zayn. He had died a year ago in a fire accident.

" Gigi are you alright? " I heard someone ask as I scampered out of the building.
" I'm alright guys " I muttered more to the ground than to them.

How?
How did they expect me to get over it?
What if I never do?

The road that lead home was quieter than usual. no birds were chirping, I heard the whispers of the wind. As I looked at the sky the moon shone back at me. Must be past 10 I thought to myself.

When I entered home my mom was waiting for me.
" Gigi, are you alright ? Kendall just called me. " she said
" I'm fine mom. Really. Just need to get some sleep that's all. " I replied trying to give her a reassuring smile.
I turned to go upstairs, but of course that would've been too easy. I know Kendall likes checking up on me to see if I'm doing fine, but sometimes I wish she wouldn't. Sometimes I wish no one would for that matter.

" we need to talk "
And there it was.
" I told you I'm fine. It's just...I was thinking of them again, I'll be fine. I promise, you don't need to worry. "
I looked up to see my mom, who happened to be smiling.
" I know " she said in a soft and low voice. " I have some news that I think will cheer you up "
Although I didn't think it would.
If only I had a time turner, or maybe the time stone from the avengers. I could just go back and change things.
" Where on earth is my eye cream " screamed Bella, as she came down the stairs .

She's been stressing out a lot lately especially after her break up with Abel Tesfaye who she met on set while modeling for Delvaux five months ago.

" You can use mine, just check my room" I said hoping it would calm her down at least a little.
" Ah never mind! I found it and mom did you think about what I was saying earlier? " she asked lowering her voice a little.

" there's nothing to think about " my mom said with a serious expression on her face.

" I have my modeling career. Why do I need to join college next year ? "

" We're not having this conversation, you're going to college end of discussion. "

My sister loves modeling, it's always been her dream to have her picture on the front cover of vogue some day. School wasn't something that was on her priority list.

many people have asked me why I haven't decided to pursue a career in modeling.
I just haven't thought about it yet, besides I loved singing with Zayn and always thought I'd do something related to that.

I recalled the first time we sang together. On our first date.

My mom's voice filled the room, pulling me out of my thoughts.
" Girls, I have some news " She began.
" I know things have been hard, For all of us and since dad's away too, both of you have really helped me out, I think it's time we take a break from our lives "
Smiling at us mom took her purse and pulled out three tickets.

My heart lit up a little, maybe this is a good idea.
Maybe this was exactly what we all needed.
An escape. An escape from our lives. An escape from reality. An escape from everyone, everything. An escape to paradise.

" we're going to Hawaii ! " she exclaimed.
