" Oh anna," she say crossing her arms " dont hide it."

"mom theres nothing between Chase and me!" i exclaim.

" anna dont lie to me," she says trying to be stern "I saw him carry you in from the barn. He wrapped his jacket around you too, also he asked you to help him for the concert."

My eyes go wide " so what?" I shriek "So what that I helped him out for the concert and I guess he returned the favour doesn't mean I like him."

"Anna I know chase a lot better then you." she says sternly "he doesn't do that for any girl."

"Well I'm not any girl." I say mimicking a tv announce "I'm Anna Walters. international superstar"

She chuckles " Oh anna, you are so oblivious to the people around you." 

" no im not" i say in protest. 

" Well at least to people that are close to you or want to be close to you." she says rolling her eyes " like how chase wants to be."

" ugh" i say tugging the ends of my hair in annoyance

"anna, whats wrong?" says aaron and mason coming in sweaty probably from a workout in a basement.

"Mom thinks there is something going on between me and Chase" I explain still shocked. How could she think that? My mom was the first person to know that i had sworn a rivalry when we were really little.

"Ha thats funny." says Mason snatching aarons glass of water

"see mom." I say justifying my answer.

"No, you are actually the funny one," he starts chuckling

"Why is that?" I say standing up and putting my hands on my hips

"Because you think Chase doesnt like you." chuckles Aaron

" But he doesnt." I whine

"Ya he does." says Emily coming in

"what is this? a family thing now?" I say rolling my eyes "cause all were missing is Darcy and Linsey.

" well yes if hes gonna become my brother in-law" say Darcy coming in

"And if he's going to be your baby's daddy." chimes in cheekily

"Oh my gosh! you guys are impossible!" I say exasperated " I dont like Chase, I HATE CHASE. and he hates me"

They all chuckle.

" I seriously hate him!" I say exasperated

"Well chase might not hate you" sings Emily

"Trust me he doesn't." I say rolling my eyes

"But you don't know Chase." says mason smirking

"Ugh seriously drop it." I growl and take a bite of food

"Anna you can't fight the cupids arrow." giggles Linsey

I shoot her a look "I said drop it." I growl and balling my hands into fists.

"Well then that's good." says my

Mom fluffing her hair "I won't be having grand kids too soon. I still have a couple more years before I look like one, right? "

Everyone chuckles but I roll my eyes.

"Who's having grand kids and what's this about Chase?" says George,my dad, stumbling in

He's drunk. Linsey and Emily start to back up next to the boys. I just sit frozenly. my mother is the only one to greet him.

"Hello sweetie." she says kissing him on the cheek

I sit there not moving a muscle.

It not that I'm scared or anything I just don't like drunk people around me. and that's what makes me hate George. I stopped calling him dad when I can home one night and had alcohol poisoning and was rushed to the ER. I felt too embarrassed to call him my dad.

" so anna?" I slurs while going towards the fridge where the others are standing.

They start to move to the other side of the island. I guess I'm not the only one who doesn't like him.

"Anna!" he shouts swinging the fridge open "answer me!"

"Yes." I say stiffly looking down at my food

"You like Chase?" he says swinging himself down on the seat across from me with a beer.

"No." I say flatly

"Well you should he's a lot better then that other pretty boy you've been wasting his time with." he slurs chugging down a beer. "You don't pick up that many great guys eh? you always make the worst decisions in life out of the all of us. you bring shame to our name.

"Um excuse me sir you have no right to criticize my decisions. you also wrong about me bringing shame to my family name. you are the reason why we are shamed. I left here to get away from you and make a better life for myself and help out mom and the others, not you." I yell as every sentence gets stronger and louder.

"That is no way to talk to your father." he shouts pounding down his beer bottle

"You aren't my father." I scream standing up "you are just someone who has the same last name as me."

And with that I stomp out of the kitchen .
