Dear Beck,

I'm so sorry that my goodbye has to be written in letter form and that it is so sudden. But life can suck sometimes, can't it? You just have to deal with what is thrown at you. That is why I am writing this letter. I am going away for a while. There is something important that I have to sort out. I'm not going to tell you where I'm going, and don't try to find me, you won't succeed.

Oh, and when I'm gone, try not to hook up with any girls, we're still together remember, even if we aren't literally? Just remember that I love you. Don't worry about me when I'm gone, I'll be fine. Now, this letter is getting a bit sappy, that is so unlike me. Don't you dare not think about me, remember, I'm a great fan of scissors. There that's better. More Jade-like.

Lots of Love, Jade.

PS. Don't show anyone this letter, it's embarrassing, I will kill you.

Beck read the letter. It was crumpled and ripped in places, where he had scrunched it up and thrown it in the bin, the day before. He had been angry then. Angry that Jade had left him. Angry that he wasn't with her now. Just angry about everything to do with the situation.

But now he had calmed down, and he regretted all the anger that has been directed at Jade. And he was puzzled. What was so important that she had to leave in the dead of night?

To Cat,

Look Cat, there's something that I need to sort out, and I'm going to go away for a while, like a holiday, but I won't be gone for long. Now, don't shed any tears. I'll see you soon. You'll still have Andre and Beck to look after you and your looser friends Tori and Robbie. Pretend I didn't say that.

And face the fact. I'm mean anyway. It will be easy not to miss me. Stay in there Cat, and buy me a present for when I get back.

Jade.

Cat ignored the second sentence of the letter. She cried. She was shocked that she was shedding tears over Jade, of all people. Afterall, she wasn't exactly nice, but Cat had a feeling that she wouldn't be seeing her friend for a while.

To Robbie ( and Rex, I'm being nice tonight )

I'm going away for a while, there are some very important matters that I need to sort out. You won't be seeing me for a while. The only reason I'm really writing is to ask you a favour. Actually, two favours. The first one is to look after Cat for me. See, that's usually my job, one that I don't do very well. The second is to make sure Beck doesn't hook up with any girls. I mean it Robbie, take your responsibilities seriously. Why am I even asking you this anyway? I guess I'm tired.

Bye for now, Jade

Robbie looked at the letter, almost smiling. No Jade for a while? The responsibility to look after Cat? Would this finally be a time when he could ask her out? His day was getting better and better. And it had only just begun.

Dear Andre,

This letter writing is getting really long and boring. But I'm being nice, I'm writing you a goodbye letter like the others, even Tori. Goodbye, you think. I could just ask you to ask one of the others for the details. Okay, I'll stop rambling now. I'm going away for a while, wow the amount of times my pen had written that, and I won't be back for a while. Don't tell Cat that, I told her I'd be back soon. So I guess this is goodbye, but not face to face. So... goodbye?

Jade West, the girl you used to fancy, see I know more than you think Andre.

Andre nearly fell off his chair. Jade knew?! Then he realised that he didn't have to face her the next day. That, at least was a relief. Then he felt guilty, he wasn't sure if he would miss Jade. Jade was mean and her dark side definitely showed, but there was also a hole when she wasn't there. He wondered how Beck would react.

Tori.

This letters going to be short, I assure you. I'm going away for a while, I'll see you when I'm back, obviously. I don't like you, you're really annoying, so I'm not going to miss you. You won't miss me either. Okay, I admit, I'll miss your singing. This letter is already too long.

Jade.

Tori almost laughed when she read the letter. Typical Jade, so sweet and cuddly all the time. Tori folded the letter neatly and put it on her already cluttered desk. She yawned and started to get ready for school. Monday's were always long.
