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

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
Seeing You Again Chapter 31
I stare at him wide eyed. And he looks just about horrified.I clear my throat, again, for the hundredth time. "Please forget I asked that, that was really weird" he says, palming his forehead.I let out a small chuckle. "It's fine" I say. "I can understand where your question is coming from, but I assure you, we are not just tolerating you for Fran's sake, I want to keep getting to know the man who raised my daughter in the years I was absent, the man she is currently living with, so does Dan". I say. "Right" I hear him mumble. "Dan? Really? I didn't exactly get that impression, I mean we barley really talk when we see each other." He says. I nod in acknowledgment. "True, but I've talked to him recently and he's open to have a good relationship with you". I say.I see a ghost of a smile creeping on Matthew's face at my words. It's makes me glad. We reach the living room area and sit on the couch."We agreed on Matt by the way". He suddenly says."Hmm?" I look at him confused.H
Seeing You Again Chapter 32
Dan's POVDad, Matt and I are sitting in the living room just talking. It's mainly me and Matt talking actually, it is out chance to get to know each other. It's a little weird, and a little awkward not gonna lie, but he's the person my sister loves enough to live with and not us. Don't let that bother you Dan. So, anyways, the point is. Matt is a good guy from what I've seen from him, getting to know him won't do me any harm. Sigh, if only Ivan could be with me. But he'd need to figure things out with Fran before any of that even has a possibility of happening.So, Matt and I talk and talk and talk just about random stuff, about mom, about memories with Fran. Some make me sad thinking I missed it all but I'm a glass half full kind of guy. I'm just happy she's here now. Just then I- well we hear footsteps coming down the stairs. Two footsteps.Uh oh, I think to myself.Could Fran and Ivan be fighting again and whatever she did upstairs hadn't worked?I mentally prepare myself for
Seeing You Again Chapter 33
Francisca's POV Life is great! Have I said that before? Life is great? Whatever, I'm saying it again if so. Life is freaking great! And I'm going to shout it from the rooftops! Things seem to be so perfect these days, there is a routine to my life now. I have a relationship with my father, with my brothers, and I got to maintain my relationship with Matt. I have Violet as a friend, and I talk with Lori and Jenny frequently. So when I say life is looking better than before, when I say life is great. I freaking mean it!I am at school right now with Violet about to find our seats in the cafeteria when I hear a whistle. I look towards where it came from to find Dan waving at me from his table that has his friends plus Ivan and urging me to go to him. I tell violet to come with me and she does after some hesitation."Hi" I say a bit awkwardly after I reach the table. And I was strutting over there confidently too. But suddenly I just wasn't as confident as I was 5 seconds ago. I g
Seeing You Again Chapter 34
Matt's POV I come back home from a long day at work, And surprise surprise Francesca isn't home.It is to be expected at this point I guess, I try to not let myself get too upset by her going to their house straight from school every single day, but if this keeps going then I'm going to lose my damn freaking mind. I sigh, it would be just easier if she went ahead and lived with them. I think dejectedly. I know Zach and the boys, or at least Dan, are trying to make me feel a part of the family and to not exclude me from things and don't want me to feel left out because I am an important part of Francesca's life. All the talk last time we had dinner at their house made me feel a little better about this whole situation but that doesn't take from the fact that I still barely see my daughter. Just when I had decided that I was going to call Zach to check up on her or....I don't know....demand that she comes home right away? I hear and see the front door of the apartment open.Francisc
