Sweet Home Alabama, chapter 1
Gemma had just had a crap day at school, but just walking home made her feel better. She found herself singing "Sweet Home Alabama" since that's where she is from. She loved Alabama. But when she got a home a bombshell was laid down.
"Mom, I'm home," Gemma called while walking into the house
"Hey Gemma, come here. Your uncle Michael is on the phone," Gemma's mom called from the lounge room.
What the fuck?Gemma thought, how come she has never heard of this 'Uncle Michael' before.
Gemma walked into the lounge where her mom was sitting, holding the phone out for Gemma to answer.
"Hello?" Gemma said
"Hello, I'm your uncle Mike. You can call me Mike if you want," Michael said.
His voice sounds familiar... Gemma thought.
"Okay cool," Gemma said
"You live in Alabama huh? You ever thought about going to California?" Michael asked.
"Um, yeah I guess. My favourite band live there so it can't be too bad" Gemma said.
"Cool, what's your favourite band?" Michael asked.
"Green Day," Gemma replied.
"Cool, could you get your mom please Gemma?" Michael asked.
"Okay sure," Gemma said.
Gemma handed the phone back to her mom.
Hmm...that was odd Gemma thought. I'll ask dad what's up.
Gemma headed for the kitchen where she found her dad sitting at the kitchen table.
"Dad, how come mom decided that I should meet uncle Michael, and how come I've never heard of him before?" Gemma asked.
"Maybe you should ask your mom, I think she wanted to tell you," Gemma's dad replied.
Gemma's mom walked into the kitchen and put the phone down on the table.
"Gemma I have something to tell you," She said.
"Yes?" Gemma said.
"You're going to California to visit your uncle Michael," She replied.
Gemma's eyes widened. "What!? For how long?" Gemma yelled.
"Well, we are planning on moving there but we wanted you to get to know your uncle first," Gemma's mom said.
**Next day**
It was 12.00 pm and Gemma had just finished packing.
"Gemma, are you ready? The plane leaves in half an hour!" Gemma's mom yelled.
"Yeah, yeah I'm coming!" Gemma yelled walking out to the car.
Gemma chucked her bags in the back seat, then sat in the front. Gemma's dad came out and opened the door to hug Gemma and say good bye.
When Gemma and her mom arrived at the airport they said one last good bye as Gemma boarded the airplane.
**In Oakland CA**
Gemma stepped off the plane and walked into the airport.
A man in a black suit with blonde hair and black sunglasses headed towards Gemma. "Are you Gemma?" the man asked.
"Um, yeah," Gemma answerd.
"Hi, I'm your uncle's assistant, Ryan," He said.
"Oh cool," Gemma said.
"Your uncle is in a meeting right now so I'll take you to his house," He said.
"Okay sure," Gemma said.
Ryan picked up Gemma's bags and walked towards his car. Gemma got in the front seat of the black BMW as Ryan drove off.
"Mom, I'm home," Gemma called while walking into the house
"Hey Gemma, come here. Your uncle Michael is on the phone," Gemma's mom called from the lounge room.
