Seeing You Again Chapter 23
Francisca's POV After a few minutes with us just hugging and crying we hesitantly leave the comfortable embrace we were in. As I take a step back to look up at my dad, his hands cup my cheeks and he just scans my face with tears in his eyes and a small, sad smile. I smile back "hi" I say with my voice cracking and with wiping my tears from my face. Dad chuckles "hi" he also says. I smile at him and then he gestures for us to sit down. I go to sit down on the couch I was sitting in before when Dad goes to sit down on the opposite one. However, he stops me and holds my hands gently and makes me sit next to him, and he pulls me closer to him so that my head is on his chest again, so it remains there. I feel him kiss my head and sigh. I close my eyes just wanting to stay in this moment. Just in my dad's arms before we discuss what needs to be discussed. Just to have no worries for a little bit. Unfortunately, that only lasts a couple of minutes and then dad pulls away and looks me
Seeing You Again Chapter 24
Ivan's POVFrancisca is back. Francisca - my little sister - is here. In this house right now. Downstairs. She is so so close, and what am I doing? I'm hiding in my room. I just can't face her right now. I am so so….angry with her. How could she? We saw each other around school, we talked to each other, interacted and she said nothing. Nothing at all about who she was. Now that I look back on it, she was actually trying to hide her face from me, so I wouldn't recognize her. She never contacted us before that either and I'm just so pissed. Why? Why did my sister do this? I talked to Dan while we were out, he explained things to me, he told me what Francisca told him. He told me everything. And that made me pissed at him too. He hid it from me. He hid Francisca from me when he knows how much her absence has been affecting me. Affecting all of us. And she made him do it. She lied and let me suffer when she could've contacted us for year, she could've even said something the minute s
Seeing You Again Chapter 25
Matt's POVI just came back home after dropping off Fran to her father's house. Her father who supposedly left her.Francisca doesn't believe that story, and....I don't know what to believe. What I am sure of though, was that I could not go to work today at all. So I called in sick. So now I'm just sitting on my couch drinking whiskey. Drowning in my sorrows.I know this is the best for Francisca. She is so happy to know her family again. And I'm incredibly happy for her, I am even open to knowing her brothers who are technically my other two step sons ( I'm not getting my hopes up on that though). Despite being so happy for her, there is still this tightness in my chest. I sigh. I just hope her father and I can reach a solution on what to do with Francisca's living arrangement going forward. Francisca says that she doesn't want me to stop being her guardian, she doesn't want to leave my care, but I can't help but feel like if her father does want her with him, that she'd be happier
Seeing You Again Chapter 26
Francisca's POVLife is going great. Actually, it's going fantastic! Matt told me that I'm okay to stay with him, that dad approved. I reconnected with my dad and Dan and spend time with them all the time now! Just yesterday I hung out with Matt a bit. And Matt and I are invited to dinner at my dad's house after school today! Everything is perfect! Well.....except for one thing. Ivan still hasn't talked to me. I tried to have a conversation with him every chance I got but he always ignores me. It hurts but I guess I do deserve it. I hurt him too with my secrets.I'm in school right now, with Violet in the cafeteria. I'm staring at my brothers table once again. I talked to Dan today and he just told me to the same thing Matt had told me about Ivan. To just give him time and he'll eventually come around, they all say that whenever I bring it up, but as I'm staring at my brothers table, well actually staring at Ivan, I'm not okay with waiting, I want to talk to him, I want to apologize
Seeing You Again Chapter 27
Francisca’s POV Soon enough we are in the car on our way to dad's house. I'm nervous and excited about it at the same time...I'm nervously excited! I know dad and Matt have interacted already and had like a whole discussion about....everything.But I have yet to see them interact with each other so like I said...I'm nervously excited.We reach the house, and dad opens the door, he looks a little out of breath and smiles a bit of an awkward smile and...wait...is my dad....nervous? Oh my god he is. I could have never imagined that my dad gets nervous. I mean I know how ridiculous that is. He is a human being with emotions but I just have never seen that nervous look on his face before."Welcome." He says kind of awkwardly. It's kind of cute actually lol. "Hey it's nice seeing you again". Matt says and my dad nods and gestures for us to enter. I hug my dad hi and I see Dan and dad nod at each other, we are lead to the dining room. And when I enter the dining room and look at the d
Seeing You Again Chapter 28
I had to get out of there. I just had to. Today, these past few hours, minutes even have been hell. Francisca and mom's husband ( technically my step dad I guess) were at dinner and apparently it was all good, it was all great. They were laughing with dad and Dan, they seemed to be really getting along. Dad and Dan seemed to be having the time of their freaking lives. The perfect little messed up 'family'. Francisca tried talking to me. However, I just couldn't bare to hear her voice. I had longed to hear it for a long time but now all it brings me is pain. It's a reminder that she didn't choose us right away when we would've if the roles were reversed. In a freakin heart beat She doesn't even live with us now for fuck's sake! So I got out of there the first chance I got. I went to my room and slammed the door behind me. Shortly after, Dan comes into my room, he swings the door open and slams it closed too. He looks pissed off at me and I really don't want to hear it. Just beca
Seeing You Again Chapter 29
Francisca's POVI've been trying to corner Ivan at school. Unsuccessfully so. What happened at the dinner was...upsetting to say the least, it kind of discouraged me a little....okay a lot, it discouraged me a lot. But Ivan has always been a bit more stubborn than Dan and I. So, I'm going to keep trying to win him back if it's the last thing that I do. I'm at the lockers right now, quietly formulating a plan on how to approach Ivan next, when my locker door is suddenly slammed closed almost taking out my hand. I look up wide eyed at the person responsible for that. And who is it? I'll give you a hint, I always had a bad feeling about her. "What do you think you're doing?" Clair asks. I look at her confused. I look at my now closed locker, then back at her again. "Putting my books in my locker?" I said, it came out as more of a question though.Clair rolls her eyes in response."No smartass, I'm taking about your thing with Ivan, what's up with that?" She says. I raise my ey
Seeing You Again Chapter 30
Matt's POVToday is Saturday. It's one of these days that I get to sit back, relax and spend the day with my daughter, except she isn't here right now, she's at her "real" father's place. I'm not mad about it. Really! I'm not......much. Okay so maybe I'm a little upset that Fran made plans to be at her dad's, she's just been spending a lot of time there, she tries to make me go with her to make me feel included a lot of the time, but I feel like she's kind of slipping away from my fingers, maybe I'm just not used to sharing her. I just miss her, is that so wrong? And because I miss her I call her, when she doesn't pick up, I take a deep breath and try to call....her dad. I really don't want to do that. Don't get me wrong, Zachary is a nice guy, a great guy even. I just feel a bit awkward talking to him. But I want to check up on my girl so I suck it up and call his phone number. He picks up after the third ring. "Hello?" I hear at the other end of the line. I clear my throat
