Jubilee shoved her hands in her pockets, she would buy a bus ticket to the airport, yeah, that would work. No one would know she was gone until it was too late for them to do anything. She ate breakfast with the rest of the students, not paying any attention to what was going on with her teammates. She didn't even look up when Rahne spilled her breakfast on herself. She had her money in her pockets. She would go to school, claim she was staying after school for homework or something and then leave. She had covered her bandaged wrists with a long sleeve sweater, no one had asked why she was wearing a sweater in this nice weather, which was of course Ororo's doing. The weather had been next to perfect since the day she'd become engaged to Logan. Jubilee felt a tinge of guilt when she realized if she left she wouldn't be here for the wedding, but she'd have to make sacrifices, if she wanted to do this right. Maybe I'll come back just for that, watch from the back, never have to speak to any of them, she thought catching a ride to school in the van with the rest of the new recruits.
Sam looked at Jubilee. She was hiding the bandages, he knew she must feel like there was no one here, she was leaving today after school. He had seen her shove the money, at least a hundred dollars of it in her pockets this morning before breakfast. He knew he should tell someone about what was going on, but he didn't think being locked up would help Jubilee. When she wasn't looking he slid a note in her back pack reading "Jubilee, I know you feel lost and alone, what Bobby did was horrible, and I'm here if you ever want to talk or just have a shoulder to cry on. I don't want you to run away Jubilee, even if you go to the moon, you'll still have your feelings. I know I should stay out of it, but Jubilee, I like you and don't want you to make a mistake that will hurt you more." His name was signed on the bottom of the note. He hoped Jubilee would see it before she made her way to leave the team behind. What he really wanted to was to tell her how much he loved her and how much it would hurt him if she left.
