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. I knew it was a load of bullshit. I knew that the real reason he was shipping me off was because he couldn't deal with my bullshit anymore. That 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 would do I want to escape to now?
I stop my movement on Stephenie Meyers' Twilight. I could use a silly, overhyped, yet somewhat entertaining book about a vampire and a human right now. I grab the book, kick off my shoes and lay 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 just can't leave him alone. Then again, he did a pretty shitty job of staying away from her.
"Shit, yes, baby!" I hear a girl's voice moan-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 offered to them in the form of alcohol or sex with a random stranger who won't even bother to learn their name.
It's just one more fucking year until I get my degree and can move back home, where I belong.
