Gemma's POV

My father was so terrified for my future that he sent me across the fucking world to the wonderful state of California to live near my mother. He used the excuse that he wanted us to "reconnect" which was bullshit. I knew that the real reason he was shipping me off was because he couldn't deal with my shit anymore. The trouble I was getting myself into was just too much.

So here I am.

My fingers run over the spines of the books on my dusty bookshelf. Which world do I want to escape to now?

My fingers stop on Stephenie Meyer's', Twilight. I could use a silly, over hyped yet entertaining book about a vampire and a human right now. I grab the book and kick off my shoes before laying down on my bed.

What it is that makes me reread this completely unrealistic bullshit excuse for a book, I can't tell. This isn't the first time I've found myself skimming through the pages though. It's fucked up really. Bella knows that Edward is a hunter, a predator. She should stay away from him. He could literally suck the life out of her at any moment but she can't leave him or his family alone. Then again, Edward did a pretty shitty job of staying away from her.

"Shit, yes baby." I hear a girl's voice scream through the paper thin wall.

"Shut the fuck up" I yell back.

One more year. I tell myself. One more year of my bullshit classes. One more year of parties filled with people who don't give a damn about anyone or anything except for the temporary high they get from the alcohol and sex with a random stranger.

It's just one more fucking year until I get my degree and I can move back to Melbourne where I belong.
