Jade's POV

That very night we left. Never in my life did I think I'd willingly disappear. But that was the plan, to fall off the face of the earth.

The only problem I had with leaving was Matthew. Matthew is my life. He's been mean and nice and the perfect brother. I wouldn't be the person I am today without him. Cam must have noticed how sad I was about leaving him, "Leave a note. All that needs to be said you can leave for him."

That's what I did. The most amazing role model I ever could have hopped for... all I could give him was a note. It felt so inadequate. How do you tell the one person that's meant the most to you your entire life that your never gonna see them again. Never be able to express to their face how much they've done for you.

After 20 minutes of sitting there. Blankly staring at what would be the last thing Matt had to remember me by, I left. I didn't speak to Cam as I shrugged past him. I shrugged past him and grabbed the bag with a rope, slung it around my waist, and shifted.

Cameron caught up to me easily, following in my footsteps. We turned around and gave one last longing gaze  to the house, and ran. Through the woods, past trees and towns. We didn't stop. If got tired, we would sleep. If we were hungry, we went on the hunt. We never saw anyone, no one bothered us. It was all us to ourselves.

Matthew's POV

It's been a while. Like 4 weeks at least since I last saw Cam and Jade. Wonder how they're doing?

I drove to Cam's place and busted through the front door, "Honey, I'm HOME!!!" I hollered as I waited for Jade to come tumbling down the stairs or for Cam to walk up chuckling. Nothing I waited another minute. Nothing.

I poked my head outside and saw Cam's truck here. What the hell. "C-CA-CAMERON!! JADE!"

I started busting down doors and tearing my way through the house. They weren't here. What happened?

I sunk to the floor, I've never been much of a crier, but I couldn't stop myself. I sobbed. My... my Jade was gone. Where could she have gone? Why? Why would she leave? I-We could handle anything. Me, her, and Cam.

In a fit of anger I kicked the coffee table over. That's when I saw something fall. A solitary piece of paper slipped off the table. I slowly picked it up. I busted into tears.

Dear Matt,

I'm sorry. There's... a lot going on. I don't know how long it'll take for you to find this, but just know that I didn't want to leave you, I just couldn't stay. Can you find it in your soul to forgive me? Just go on, be the perfect Matt you always have been. Go on, get married, have a good life, leave me and Cam in the past. We'll make it work, so should you. I love you Matt, more than you really know.

I'm sorry,
Jade
