How is one supposed to react when they are told they have cancer? They don’t. They sit there staring at nothing, just listening to the sound of their own heartbeat. At least that is what I did, it’s all I did. April Emerson; a seventeen year old girl, was diagnosed with Leukemia. After a few months of dealing with her illness, she decided she might as well commit suicide instead of prolonging her death any longer. Although Jake; a boy she met at the hospital, won’t let her take her own life. After growing very close to her, he reminds her that she can’t give up on life that easily and to never forget to “fly”. Each day he spends with April, he shows her a different reason why she can’t let herself go. He will do everything in his power to give April a full life experience before her time comes, that is if it comes….

Abril has a secret...she's the daughter of the richest man in the county, but because of a childhood incident she decides she can't tell anyone, even her five quirky best friends. But what happens when the secret begins to get harder to keep? Especially when the one person she didn't want to know finds out, and it's not quite the reaction she was expecting from him.
