My life as Annamere, Annamere Swift [best novels to read txt] 📗

I peeked into my father's study and he sees me. "Anna, I'm sorry, darling. I didnt mean to scare you. Come here." my father said softly. My oldest brother, Josh is still sitting on the red sofa glaing into the fire. I wonder what he is thinking. Maybe about his girlfriend and their daughter.
Josh looked at me and offers a small smile. "I'm sorry, Annamere." he murmmered as I walked by.
My dad got up and came around to me. He softly places a neckalace in my hand. "Your gramps got it for you for your birthday. I told him not to come this year since your grams was sick."
I looked at the necklace and smile. It was my great grandmother's locket.
"Oh. I love it. It's the best of the best." I said.
He smiled then kissed my forehead. "Oh, Anna, do you wanna go see Camron?" Josh asked.
"Is Connor gonna be there?" I asked.
"I think so."
My dad kisssed my forehead. "Be back by elevin, kids."
Josh patted my back. "Go get ready." he said sweetly. I ran back to my room and walked into my bathroom. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. As you oready know, my name is Annamere. Annamere Lynn Taylor. I turned sixteen a few months ago, in October, I think. I forget when my birthday is because my siblings are royal asses. I live in Los Angeles with my mom, dad, four brothers, and four sisters. My sisters take after my mom the most the rest of us take after dad. I'm in the middle. I have brown hair, brown eyes that always have thick eyeliner around them, tan skin, and kissable lips. Well, the picture pretty much prooves it. My dad has black hair, blue eyes, and he is very buff.
He kinds of scares me. My mom is blond, brown eyes, tan skin, she's very beautiful. LIke I said, my sisters take after mom, my brothers take after my dad. My sister's call me 'Half Breed' when they see me. My brother's call me pretty. My mom said that my sister's are jelouse because I'm prettier.
I walk into my room, re-apply more eyeliner, then smile. I love how my hair curls just thr right way. Josh walks in and frowns. "You look pretty, but Camron's dad will get the wrong idea."
I skkipped over to my dresser and pulled out a pair of loose jeans and slipped them on. I twirled for him. He took his jacket off and put it on me.
"There," He led me down to his 1997 Ford Mustang. He lets me in and closed the door. He got in the driver's side and started his car. I sighed at the rain. "My favorite day and and it rains."
"I know," I agreed.
He pulled out of the driveway and I watched as his windsheild wipers go back and forth. I'm weird, yes, I know. I get bored so I look out my window. I like rain, dont get me wrong, but I live in Los Angeles. I live in the sun.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. Just thinking." I whispered.
He took my hand and pressed his lips to it. "Anna, I know when something's wrong."
"He really scared me this time." I said.
"I'm sorry, squirt. It was my fault for upsetting him."
I nodded. He pulled up in front of the Swift house and turned the engin off.
"Are you ok?" he asked. I loved how Josh always cares about me.
I nodded. "I'm cool,"
We got out and lock the doors. I followed close behind him and he grinned. He walked in like he lived there. There was yelling and Camron Swift came out of the kitchen yelling, "Why not hit me and leave Connor alone?"
"He disobeyed what I said.
"He's Elevin." Cam yelled. I hid behind Josh and whimpered.
Josh brought me around to him and he hugged me. Camron looked at us and frowned.
"Now you've gone and scared Joshy's sister."
"I'm not scared," I yelled.
Camron grinned. "Josh told me about him getting your daddy all pissed and him almost hitting you while you were reading." he said.
"Where's Connor?" I asked.
"In his bedroom."
I looked up at Josh. He smiled and kissed my forehead. "Careful, sis."
I nodded then went to Connor's room. He was sobbing into his hands. I walked over to his bed and sat down next to him. "Connor?" I asked.
He looked up at me and smiled. "Anna, what are you doing here?" he asked covering his right eye. I grabbed his wrist and gently pryed his hand off.
"Dad isn't in a good mood. Your brother is a jackass." I said.
He chuckled. I loved his puberty crackly voice. It was cute. "You know Cammy likes you."
I rolled my eyes. I stood up and took Josh's jacket off, then my loose jeans.
"You look cute," a deep voice said behind me.
I whirled around to see Cam and Josh. "And you look like you're lost. Conner is right there." I snapped.
"Oh. I know he is alright. He is strong. I wanna know why you hate me so much." he said.
"Because you're not supose to check out your best friend's sister. It's just un natural and I'm to young to be checked out." I snapped.
"You're sixteen. You're not to young. Connor, we're going to their place tonight. Get packed."
My eyes widened. "Josh," I snapped.
"Sorry, sis."
I rolled my eyes. I grabbed his jacket and my pants and walked out. I walked outside and stomped to Josh's car. I layed on the hood enjoying the rain hit my skin. Ok, maybe I was over reacting a little, but that boy get's on my nerves. He's just so Camrony.
Someone flicked my forehead. My eyes snapped opened and I glared at Camron. "Get in the back, Annamere." he said.
"You get in the back." I whispered.
"I'm older than you. Respect your elders."
"Camron, dont argue with her." Josh said.
"I'm soaking wet in this and you're gonna make me sit in the back? Hell no. Get your stupid ass in the back." I snapped.
Connor pushed Connor out of the way and he put his jacket on me. "Camron, quit being an ass." Connor snapped. I ruffled Connor's black hair. He took my hand and pulled me off the hood. I reached up and flicked Camron's head.
He smacked his forehead. "Owe. Damn, girl."
I rolled my eyes and kicked Camron in the butt. "Get in the damn car. I'm freezing to death." I snapped.
Camron rolled his eyes then got in the back. Connor got in after him. I threw my wet jeans at Camron. "Thank's, doll face. You dont need these anyway. They dont look good on you."
I rolled my eyes and flipped him off before getting in. Josh handed me my LG touch phone. "You left it in here last week."
I giggled. "I was looking for that." I said.
"Camron, dad has people over tonight. Only Anna is aloud in the study. So stay out." Josh said looking in the mirror.
"Yes sir." Camron said.
I turned my phone on and frowned. "Anna, you're not gonna get off without your seatbelt." Josh told me.
I looked at him and pouted. "Sofie died." I cried.
He grabbed my phone and looked at it. "You mean Keisha's baby?" he asked. Keisha was my best friend. Besides Connor. Keisha got pregnant and named her baby Sofie and she loved her so much. "Do you wanna go over and pay your respects?"
"Can we?" I asked.
He nodded. "Put your belt on first, little girl." he said.

I knocked on Keisha's appartment door and sighed. Her boyfriend answered. He grinned. "Nothin like a soaked little girl to cheer me up."
I giggled. "I'm cold." I whined.
"I see. Come in." He moved and I walked in and shivered. Kevin picked me up bridal style and hugged me close to him. "You're so small."
"I am not. Put me down, meani." I yelled.
He chuckled. He took me into the livingroom to where Keisha was and he put me down. He wrapped a blanket around me. I walked over to Keisha and sat by her. She looked at me and smiled. "Hey," she said hoarsly.
"Hi, honey. How are you? I'm sorry. I left my phone in Joshy's car."
"I'm good. You left your phone in there for a week?"
I nodded. "And when I turn it on I find out that my little teaddy bear died. Why didnt you call me?" I asked with tears in my eyes.
She frowned and hugged me. "I tried, sweety. Your dad answered and told me that you were either fighting with Camron or sleeping. Are you feeling well?" she asked.
"I am now. Moma said I had a cold so she kept me in bed." I said. "Grrr. Stupid daddy. Who was the first to know?" I asked.
"You. We havnt been out all week. She insisted you know first." Kevin said.
"Aww. I wove you!" I yelled.
They laughed. "Baby, your teddiy bear didnt die. My sister did." she said.
I jumped up and ran to Sofie's room. She was awake. I sighed with reliefe and picked her up. She squealed and grabbed my hair. I smiled and walked back out to them. "You scared me, Keisha." I said.
She giggled. "Will you do me a favor?" she asked. I nodded. "We need a few nights alone. Will you take her?"
I giggled. "Yes. I will take her. Only because you scared me and I love you."
Kevin walked out of the room and I sat by Keisha and handed Sofie to her. She kissed Sofie's forehead. "She can crawl and she get's really excited when you give her a bath. She's just like you for some reason."
I giggled. "I rub off on people." I said.
"You do. She likes your wet hair." she said trying to pry Sofie's little hand from my hair.
"I like my wet hair too. It's wet."
Kevin came back out with her car seat, stroller, and two diper bags. "This one has dipers and formula and bottles. The other one has clothes and toys." he said.
"Yay!" I cheered.
"Your make up is all smeared." Keisha giggled.
I giggled and got up and walked to the bathroom. I fixed my make up then walked back out. Keisha said bye to Sofie. Then I grabbed Sofie and put her in the carseat. I said bye bye to Keisha then Kevin and
