It all started when Jade's parents found out about her bullying. Of course she tried to hide it from them, every morning she have bruise from the day before, so she put small layer of makeup on it. Usually parents didn't even notice her in the morning, she quickly took an apple from the bowl on the counter of kitchen and already running from the house.

Jade's friend April was waiting for her in front of the house, as usual, was driving her red mustang, yes Jade really likes friend's car, although the school was a few minutes from her house, but they still wanted to show up with car.

Today in school everything went well, she went home alone because April had some stuff to do with her cheerleader team as she told her. When Jade opened the door from the house, she called out loud "Hi" but no one answered back. She dropped her bag on the floor and hoping nothing was happening. When she went to living room, her Mom was holding a phone in horror, and Dad was looking out the window, his hand on his chin as if he thinking. Dad turned to Jade with a sad face.

„Jade, please, sit down." when she sat down, parent's eyes were on her.

They know..

"Why you didn't tell us about your bullying, why did April must to tell us?" then the Mom asked.

Jade smirked in her head, she said them, that they wouldn't listen to her and don't care about her feeling. So she got angry on them, they felt so guilty. Jade didn't talk with them for month. After month they had small conversation about it again and she said that she needs some space from everyone.

But one day she came to her room and there was an envelope on the table.

She slowly opened it and read it.

"Jade we are so sorry, we acted terribly, but we think, this will make you feel better, push your feelings to the side, mainly you take a break from classmates, hope you'll enjoy it."

She carefully laid the message on the table and pulled out a piece of paper with a picture of the beach.

"Hawaii" she whispered.

......

Jade was so excited, although her parents got a little away from her again, but she still had the relaxing trip yay! She was talking about it every day and April was little bit exhausted, she always supported Jade in her happiness, but now she saw in friend's eyes that something was wrong.

"Ap?" Jade yelled when she found her friend sitting on the sidewalk after school.

"What's going on, you acting kinda weird." April standed up and Jade threw her bag over both shoulders and focused on friend's face.

Her eyes were still on the ground, she took long breath and finally looked at Jade.

"It's just that I'll miss you, our roads to school, sleepovers, just everything about this little guy." she smiled on Jade and shrugged and continued to look at the ground. They both walked in silence.

"Look, it's not forever just a few days, and then I'll be there for you." Jade put her hands around April's shoulders and brought her little closer.

"I promise."

......

She was finally getting ready. She took Dad's biggest suitcase and stuffed all her favorite clothes inside. Tomorrow!! Tomorrow she will get out of their boring house.

She knew, that she will must to spend some time with random girls in her age, but then they would go their separate ways. She prepared clothes for tomorrow's trip, some black adidas sweatpants, her favorite gray oversized t-shirt and black and white plaid shirt, she didn't care what people say, she just want to feel good in it and when she have done, she finally had free evening. Jade was running down the stairs when her pocket started ringing. She pulled her phone out and saw friend's name.

"Hi Ap, how yo..." her voice interrupted by April.

"Jade I don't really know what just happened, but it's incredible." her voice was shaking.

"What, what's going on, are you okay?" confusion hit Jade.

"I found an envelope in front of the house, it's for me and..."

"And..?"

"It's Hawaii, I don't know who put it there, but I'm going with you!!" April shouted, until Jade phone almost fell from her hand.

"No way, that's awesome!!!" they whistled together.

"It didn't look strange, really no, at that time.." Jade look at men in front of her, when they asked about April's surprise.

"But then, I started think about it a lot, I kept nothing in my head, only this thoughts.." "and I felt like my emotions, like, like they dissapear.." she said and ate all her donut. "but what happened there was worst then my crazy head.. I couldn't look back.." she made long eye contact "and that one thing was no longer so important for us, but I did my best, yeah, I tried so hard."
