Hope you like the story!

I DONT OWN ANYTHING TO DO WITH TWILIGHT SIERIES!! I ONLY OWN MY OWN CHARACTERS : like Ruby And her family.


Chapter 1 - Life

"Mum please, just listen!" I called down my phone. My mum never understood me. She never let me have a word in, while she planned my future. One of the reasons I moved away from home was her. I love her and all, but she can get very annoying.

"Mum, I don't want to come home! I like – no I love it here! This is my home now! Just cause I'm finished college doesn't mean I'm just gonna hop up and leave!" I tried to calm myself, cause for some reason I was getting very agitated!

"Ruby Anne Jones!" oh no she was using her "mum voice". "You cannot be serious about staying in another country so far away for the rest of your life! You will come home with us after your graduation!"

"Mum I'm 22! I can live wherever the hell I want! I love America! Scotland is the most boring-est place in the world! And I'm sick of it! Besides I have got a job near Seattle! I'm staying!" and there was no way I am gonna change my mind about that. Seattle might be 3000 miles away from here but hey! It's still America!

I came over here when I was 17 but didn't technically move here till I was 18. After high school I wanted to take a break before searching around for college. So I took a year out and decided to go for a holiday. I had been to America before and loved it! So off I went all by myself to tour around the states. 6 months went by like a flash and the next thing I knew was I had a place at Washington University, doing Nursing. Yes I am a bit of a geek! Anyways, I am now finished and almost a qualified nurse! Yey!

Mums voice made me come back to the future.

"Well, then! You seem final about this little plan of yours. We shall talk about it at graduation. Oh and your sister can't make it, she's too far along in her pregnancy." Finally she seemed to have given in! But not really making any sense.

"Okay fine we'll talk about it later. But that's annoying! Why cant she come, I thought it wasn't due till September, that's like 2 months away!?... Wait can Emma still make it? I don't want to be like an only child!" One sister gets married and pregnant, the other has a kick ass job she's like married too! As you can probably guess I have a problem with marriage and babies. The thought of being tied down and coming home from work at the end of the day and having to care to a husband! And babies! I mean come on! All they do is eat, cry, poop, sleep and cry some more! Ewww!

"Yes she can make it. Her boss says she needs a holiday, she works too much. I'm worried about her health." Well its nice to see she's worries about one of us.

"Okay see you in a week! Bye" I failed at being sly; I really wanted to sleep now. God did she not realise its like two in the morning here?!

"Okay, talk later cookie, bye!" finally! And yes she calls me cookie. All my family does, its like one of those stupid nicknames that a drunk uncle makes up and it sticks, for life!

I hung up and through my phone across the room before falling into a relaxing sleep.
