Annalise

It had been about three months since my mom married my step-father. After my real dad died fighting over seas, she had drowned herself in drugs and alcohol, forgetting about me. She had been like that until she met Matt. He was some rich and famous rockstar, and I knew she had married him strictly for the money. Mom was always a gold digger. In fact, she wasn't even my real mom. She was also my step mother, my real mom died when I was four due to cancer, and my dad had re-married whenever I was ten. When he died, she got full custody of me. We hated each other, constant fighting, and then she thought it was okay for her to drag me into this life with her.

I climbed out of my bed, slipping on a pair of booty shorts, I fixed my tank top before making my way down the steps. My red hair in a messy ponytail. I made my way to the kitchen where I saw Matt nursing a cup of coffee at the island. I wasn't exactly happy with him either. He tried to get me to like him by getting me whatever I wanted, and it just wasn't working in his favor. My step mom had managed to sober up long enough to get him to say I do, then she went right back to the drugs and drinking, not coming home until the middle of the day, so shitfaced that she didn't even remember who we were, so most of the time it was just Matt and I, and he never let me stay home alone, anytime she was out doing whatever and he had to go to the studio, he made me come with him.

"I take it she still isn't home?" I said in a flat irritated tone as I poured myself a glass of orange juice. I knew if I tried to get some coffee, he would just take it from me because "kids don't need coffee," I sat down as far away from him as possible, looking down at my phone to see if any of my friends messaged me.

Matt
I took another sip of my coffee when Annalise came down the stairs. "Yep as usual" I said before looking over at her. I was feeling tired of this marriage already and we hadn't even been married for that long. The only benefit was that I got to spend time with Anna who was gorgeous and nothing like her mother. I saw her looking at her phone. "So I was thinking about maybe going to get something to eat and maybe going to see a movie. Would you like to come with me?" I asked her as I took another sip off coffee as I waited for her answer.

Annalise
I looked over at him and sighed. "Are you giving me a choice or are you indirectly telling me that I'm going somewhere today?" I asked, looking up at him. My blue eyes narrowed in slits. I was still trying to wake up from being asleep all night.

Matt
I smiled softly when she asked if I was giving her a choice. "Well thats all up to you. Do you want to go? It will get you out of the house" I said to her, finishing my coffee before getting up and making another cup.

Annalise
I watched him move around the kitchen. Although he was good looking, I wished he would put a shirt on. "You're giving me a say in the matter for once?" I said completely shocked. "In that case, I'll pass." I went back to my phone, glancing up to look at him occasionally. Wondering what was going through his head.

Matt
I was surprised when she said she would pass. I turned around and made my way back to the table. "Why do you pass?" I asked her, wondering what was going on. I was the parent that was there, who took care of the house and I bought her things. Why was I being treated as a bad guy.

Annalise
I looked up at him, sighing softly. "Because any other time it's just you and I, you drag me everywhere with you. Even if I don't want to go. I would like to stay home by myself for once." I said to him.

Matt

I looked at her. "This wouldn't be a drag. It would be for you" I said to her before taking another sip. I wanted this girl to like me. "But if you want to stay home thats fine" I said, not pushing it.

Annalise

I sighed softly. "Why do you try so hard?" I asked him. I wanted to know why he did. Why was he trying so hard to make me like him? Yes, he was the good "parent" because he was actually the one that was home to take care of me, but it felt like he was trying to take my father's place and I didn't want that.

Matt

I watched her. "Yes I want you to like me. I am not trying to take your father's place. I want to have a relationship with you" I told her before I finished my coffee. I got up and put my cup in the sink. "But if that's something you don't want. I won't force it on you" I added.

Annalise
I put my phone down on the table and looked at him. "It feels like you are," I said in a "matter of fact" tone. "You try telling me what to do and when to do it, whenever we get into a fight, you refer to yourself as my father, tell me how is that not trying to take his place?" I asked him, my blue eyes narrowed in an angry gaze.

Matt

I looked at her. "Because I am a parental figure in your life and the only one that is here" I said to her, feeling irritation build up. I was sick of having this conversation with her. "Just because I look after you and act like a parent like I am supposed to doesn't mean I am trying to take his place." I added.

Annalise
I let out a frustrated sigh. "We'll neither of you are my parents," I snapped at him. I stood up from the counter, quickly making my way toward the steps. It was usually when he and I fought, that he made me go with him, I wasn't going to stick around for him to decide that.

Matt
I sighed heavily. "Anna stop. Come back here and lets talk" I said as I made my way over towards her. "I know we're not your birth parents ok. Just please talk to me" I said, wanting to avoid another fight.

Annalise
" What is there to talk about?" I asked him spinning around, tears in my eyes. "My step mother is a druggie and my step father is a rockstar. Do you know how much shit I go through at school because of you two?" I asked him "Do you know how many times I go to school and there are photographers there, hoping to get pictures of you."

Matt
I walked over to her. "Anna please calm down" I said to her. I felt like an asshole for upsetting her. I never meant to. I was just trying to do the best I could for her. I loved and cared about her even though she didn't accept it. "I am sorry you have to go through that. I really am" I said gently. I worked my ass off to get the photographers to stop coming to her school. This was my private life and I didn't want anything to effect it. "Please let me make it up to you" I said.

Annalise
"How do you plan on doing that?" I sniffled, looking up into his hazel eyes. Matt was sweet, I would give him that, but i never understood why he married my mother. His life, and my life would have been better if he just stayed single. All she did was use him for his money so she could go buy drugs. He'll, Matt and I could probably have sex in his bed infront of her and she probably wouldn't even notice.

Matt
"I will take you out today and do whatever you want to do." I said to her, hoping that she would say yes. I would do anything for Annabelle and she knew that. This girl didn't deserve all the shit her stepmother gave her. I stayed for Anna,not my wife. Anna needed stability in her life and I was the only one willing to give that to her. "I'll make sure the photographers will never show up at the school again" I added as I looked at her.
