Is it always me?

"Would you prefer me dead?" I yelled. "What kind of a question's that Georgia? Of course I would!" I couldn't take it any more.

3. Would you prefer me dead? Gee's POV

7:00pm

So that's it. No-one cares anymore. The Ace Gang have no sense of community, just attached to their boyfriends. Mutti's never in, Vati's always out pratting around with the baldy-o-gram, Libby doesn't want to sleep in my bed anymore, Angus spits at me. Dave hates my guts, and I caught Masimo snogging Emma.

There's no room for me in life anymore.

Phoned Dave. He shouted at me again. I said something like, "Would you prefer me dead?

"Yes."

And with that I gathered all the pills in the house, ate them all and collapsed.
