"Well what?"
"I lost my brother 4 years ago today."
"What? If you don't mind asking, how?
"He drowned in a pool, he jumped in, nobody saw until it was too late."
"I'm sorry."
"Please don't be another 'I'm sorry person'."
"Well, still. I'm sorry you had to go through that."
Jade grabs Noah's hand and holds.
This boy she hated a few days ago didn't seem so bad. He was vulnerable and sad, like Jade. She felt they finally had something that connected them and made them alike in a small way.
"So what's with your dad? He seems kind of rude and mean."
"Yeah he is, we don't see eye to eye a lot. They blame me for my brother's death."
"Where's your mum."
"She left about 6 months ago after my brother died. My father was drinking and still does drink too much. My mother couldn't handle it."
"That must be hard I don't really get along with my father much. Mainly he just works, doesn't speak to me at all."
"Sorry to hear that. You know, you're not all that bad. This tutoring has made me like you a lot more."
"I can say the same for you."
"Oh can you?"
Noah smiles a big cheesy smile and pokes Jade. They both laugh and Jade swats his fingers away. They both stop laughing and just look at each other.
"Wouldn't it be so nice if we could just run away for a while? No school or parents that ignore you or yell at you... If only."
"Why can't we? We can Jade. We can pack our things, get all the money we have saved and run away for a while. Not forever but until we're ready to come back and face the real world again... What do you say?"
