The sun rises over the San Francisco beaches, causing Violet carter to lurch awake. She groans with distaste as she takes in her surroundings.

                           "What the fuck..."

My head is throbbing, how the fuck did I end up on the beach?? What time is it? At least my clothes are still on, that makes the walk of shame way less inconvenient.

I shield my face from the blinding sun rays that woke me, and decide it's actually pretty peaceful out here. The golden sunrise illuminates the beach, I can hear the overwhelming sounds of the waves crashing on the shore.

I could fall back asleep right here if I wanted to, but my stomach is demanding sustenance. It's sad to leave this beautiful scene, but I have to get home somehow, although I doubt dad and Catherine would care if I just never came back.

I'm doing it for Miles.

I'm doing it for Miles.

I'm doing it for Miles.

Ok, time to get up lazy ass! The sand is making it very difficult to walk back to the pier, or maybe it's just the tequila that hasn't left my system yet.

Whoopsie! Almost fell on my ass again.  Thank god the pier is deserted so no one could see that embarrassing performance. Shit, now I gotta pee. Why did I even go out in the first place? Oh right....

I'm leaving today.

xxxx

Don't make a sound, Violet I swear to god.

My bare ass is sticking out my window as I climb back into my room as quietly as I can. The neighbors can probably see up my tiny skirt if they looked out their window right now, but at this point I'm too hungover to care about my decency. I plop down onto my bed and struggle to take off my doc Martin platforms.

Am I still drunk? My room is starting to spin a little bit, making me nauseous. I can't throw up in my bed again, it is such a pain in the ass to clean up. I retreat under the covers of my poofy comforter and sigh in relief.

The beach isn't as comfortable to sleep on as you'd expect... go figures.

I close my eyes and slowly start to drift off to sleep, but The harsh sound of Catherine's voice screaming at me to wake up is ruining the moment. I swear Catherine can sense when I'm relaxing and ruins it for me every. single. time.

"Violet! Get up we have to leave for the airport soon!" She bangs on my locked door and stomps down the hall in her obnoxious Luis Vuitton heels.

I'm about to fall back asleep again when I remember, I haven't even packed my shit yet!!!!

I sit up, making my head dizzy yet again and sluggishly force myself out of the warmth of my bed.

After changing out of my mini skirt and crop top I quickly pull on some sweats that were discarded on my floor and sip open my suitcase. This is going to take forever.

I begin to pick up clothes from my floor and closet and shove them into the suitcase. If I forget something I'll just have to buy more clothes, they have clothes in the u.k. right?

They better have some sick underground parties there, or I'm actually going to die of boredom.

I heard from one of the girls at school that Britain is cold and grey all the time, and that sounds absolutely hell to me considering I live in California where summer is all year round.

I frown at my wardrobe choices, considering I only have a couple of hoodies and sweaters to choose from. We'll just have to cross that bridge when we get there!

Suddenly someone knocks on the door again, but it's much more gentle.

"Hey Vi, breakfast is ready!" A smaller and much cuter voice calls out.

I smile and open the door for my little brother Miles, the only person in this family that I actually care about.

He smiles back at me goofily and walks into my room.

"Hey peanut! Can you do me a favor and sit on this suitcase for me so I can zip it up?" His face lights up and he climbs up onto my bed to sit on top of it.

It's a bit of a struggle but eventually we manage to close it up all the way.

"Whew, theres my exersise for the day!" I exclaim and jump on top of the bed next to Miles.

We both lay there for a little while until he speaks up, "I'm really gunna miss you Vi." He looks at me with his adorable brown eyes. He reminds me of a puppy. My heart breaks at the statement and I frown.

"I know squirt, I'm gunna miss you even more. But it's only for a year and I'll call you every single day, and maybe... you can convince dad to take you to visit?" I say and wiggle my eyebrows at him.

He giggles and I tackle him in a big hug kissing him repeatedly on the cheek. His laugh is contagious causing us both to laugh together.

"What are you two doing? Causing trouble? Common your pancakes are getting cold!" Dad says peeking into the room. I groan and get up from the bed, taking my suitcases with me.

This is going to be a long year.
