Francisca was only 10 years old when her mother decided to pack hers and Francisca's things and leave their home along with Fran's father and 2 older brothers. Francisca never knew why her mom suddenly took her and left. She didn't understand how her father and brothers wouldn't want to hear from her as her mother suggests. Her mother remarries a year after they left and dies only three years later in a car accident. 2 years after the accident, Francisca's step father, Mathew gets a job in Brooklyn New York. So, now Francisca is going to move to another state and attend a new school. She wasn't expecting much but she definitely didn't expect to see her brothers -who she left behind in California- to be attending the same school as her. They're seniors while she's a sophomore. Will she tell them who she is? Will they figure it out on their own? What will their reactions be?
View MoreAgatha’s POV The day passed with stories and games in the gardens. When the topic of Grandpa Mitchell rose, I smile sadly. "He would have loved to be here and see this-all of us together". It was evident to me now that the kids had no idea of the past. No idea why Zachary disliked my late husband and I, if they know he dislikes us at all. All they know is that we have...drifted apart. That there wasn't any one reason for why we didn't see each other for the past years.I was beginning to relax when Ivan looked at me and asked me a dreaded question. "Sooo, Grandma...how come we never really heard from you or grandpa?" I stiffen at the question and see Francisca look at me with a curious look on her face while Ivan and Dan glance at each other as if sharing a secret. I chuckle "life I suppose, your mother and I weren't really on the best of terms". I hoped it would only be left at that, but alas that was not the case. "We remember you visiting though". Dan states."Yes, I wanted to
Francisca's POV "I'm a thousand years old! You can't kill me!""He is so hot" I say, referring to Stiles."You do realize that this technically isn't stiles right?" Violet asks."But it's Dylan O'brain" I reply.Yes. Violet and I are watching Teen Wolf. And yes I'm in love with Void Stiles. We hear a knock on my door before Matt entires the room. "You alright, girls?" Matt asks.I nod "yup!" Munching on popcorn. Matt smiles and looks at Violet, "your sister is here to pick you up". Violet and I look at each other. I'm confused, I thought her mom was the one who's gonna pick her up. "Oh Um" Violet says "I'll be right there". Once Matt closes the door behind him I turn to my friend. "What is she doing here?" "Picking me up?" Violet replies. I roll my eyes. "Yes, but I thought your mom was going to pick you up". "Yea I thought so too". I narrow my eyes at her "so this is normal?" I ask.Violet blinks at me "why wouldn't it be?" I sigh "are you and your sister on good terms?
Zach's POV It's safe to say that after a long and thorough discussion with Matt....I- against my better judgment- have decided to give my children's grandmother a chance at making things right. I didn't tell him I'd get in touch with Agatha right away. I told him that I'd have to think about it a bit. But....sigh. I'm not as optimistic as Matt, I don't believe people can change, at least not so late in life. But I couldn't bare the disappointment that I was sure I'd see on Matt's face if I had rejected his efforts. And he has so much hope to make things perfect in this family, which I suppose I should be glad of since he seemed to not have any of it just a few weeks ago when my parents first visited. Speaking of my parents, they are leaving today. Going back to Italy. But a stranger seeing this scene in front of me would think they were going to space."Oh I'm so going to miss you!" My mom coos."Grandma! I can't breath!" Dan exclaims.Francisca giggles at the scene, she was just
Matt's POVI call Agatha. I acquired her number with the thought that we'd call and I'd arrange meetings with her and Fran. And to...get to know her I guess as my dead wife's mother and all. But I'm calling her now for a very different reason. Confrontation.Because apparently, unlike what her appearance suggests, she does not have the same manners of the late queen of England. "Hello?" Agatha answers on the third ring. "Hi Agatha, I was wondering if we could meet up?""Oh" she says "Francisca wants to meet up already! When and where?" I clear my throat "it's not Francisca...just us this time". "Oh" she says again, sounding disappointed."Is that a problem?" I ask."Oh no, not at all" she replies "I'll meet with you at any place you like." "There is a Café near your house? The one with the red poster with the bird?" I suggest. "Ah yes I know that one, I'll meet you there in a few." I see her waiting for me at a table inside the Café when I get there. She smiles brightly when
Zach's POV I watch my daughter leave the office and once the door closes behind her and pick up my phone to call him. Where did Wendy's mother come from? And now of all times to make an appearance? Why? She never bothered to make any kind of relationship with her grandkids, not her nor her husband so why now? Is it because Wendy died? And why just Fran? Did she just forget about her two other grandsons that would have loved to see her? Not that I mind her being out of our lives. Much like everyone else from Wendy's life, they weren't the best bunch. Agatha and Robert — Wendy's parents and my kids's grandparent— weren't good, nurturing people. They were selfish and I actually supported Wendy when she said that she wanted nothing to do with them. They treated Wendy like shit and made kinds of comments about her body, about her brain chemistry, etc... and so when we talked about it and Wendy said that she didn't want them around I made sure they wouldn't be. That was until Wendy
Francisca's POV Currently, we are sitting on the floor of Ivan's room watching 'The Quite Place', we are at the part where the dad dies and I'm a sobbing mess. When the movie ends I'm still not over it. "There there" Dan pats my shoulder but I can tell he and Ivan don't empathize with me at all. I should've known that watching a movie with them wouldn't be like with Jenny and Lori.Thankfully I calm down after a few minutes and Dan goes downstairs to get us some snacks.Ivan and I talk about whatever when Dan comes back and settles back into the floor beside me. "Oh I almost forgot to tell you guys" I said "Granny Agatha came to see me yesterday." It was really weird seeing her again after so long, she looked so different but I was glad to reconnect with her and hear stories about mom and her childhood. Mom never really talked to me about it so it was nice, really nice. Ivan looks at me open mouthed, mid way into putting a piece of popcorn into his mouth while Dan looks at me c
They spent two hours talking. Agatha left a few minutes ago, and Francisca then went straight to her room and locked herself in. I tried to knock and talk to her but she said that she needs to be alone for a minute, so now I am respecting her wishes. .....................I have been respecting her wishes for two hours now, and I'm worried. So, i go to her room to see if we can talk. I don't think I'm wrong in doing that, am I? I knock on the door "Fran, sweetie?" Nothing.I try again "hun can you open the door please? I'm worried."I hear nothing but silence on the other side of that door until I finally hear the door unlock.Should I take the lock off her door? No! No! Stop being ridiculous, Matt! Once the door is fully open I see the sight of my daughter's tear stricken face. "I'm sorry I worried you." She says, voice cracking. In turn it cracks my heart. "Sweetie" I coo, as I take a step towards her and give her a hug. "What's wrong? What happened?""Nothing" she says "
Matt's POV It's been two days since my talk with Ivan. Three days since what happened with Zach...happened. And I've still not gotten back there. Fran is getting suspicious about it. For weeks, I've spent a lot of my time at Zach's house and now I'm barley there.....I'm actually not there at all. So, it's not surprising that Fran is questioning it. I just don't think things can go back to normal. Not after the......kiss. I'm glad it's the weekend so I can just sit back and relax and not have to think abou-And my thoughts are cut off by a knock on the door. Son of a bitch. I head for the door that keeps being knocked on frantically."I'm coming!" I shout at the person at the other side of this door. Once I reach the door I yank it open and I am met with a short old lady. She has a golden bob with bangs and is wearing a purple fancy dress that I think I've only seen the (former) queen of England wear on the internet. She has green eyes and her skin is quite frail. I frown "ca
Matt's POV "You sure I'm not keeping you from work?" Ivan asks. Him and I are currently in a cafe across the street from my work place right now. I can't say that it's not awkward. I shake my head "I'm taking my lunch break right now" I say, then it occurs to me. "Wait, shouldn't you be at school?" I was so shocked by Ivan's appearance that this being a school day completely slipped my mind. He, however, just shrugs his shoulders like skipping school isn't a big deal. "Like I said, I needed to speak with you." He says. A pause."About what?" I ask, as if I don't know what this exactly might be about. "About....yesterday." Bingo! I sigh "I'm really sorry you had to see that I-I don't even know what happened but I promise you it won't happen again." Ivan fidgets and clears his throat and says sounding unsure. "I don't-I'm not here to talk about that...well actually I want to talk about out it but not yet? I'm not here to tell you to stay away from dad or anything um I honestly
