Seeing You Again Chapter 39
Surprisingly, the dinner went well, definitely better than the last one. No weird looks, no whispers, no nothing, just normal conversations with Fran's grandparents fawning over her. It makes me rethink things a bit, maybe if Zach's family is accepting my existence, then our....situation must not be that bad....right? I am currently in the living room with Fran and Dan....and Ivan is here too, in the corner.We are watching a movie. Fran and Dan are on the couch, while I'm sitting on an arm chair next to it and Ivan is standing at the doorway, looking as engrossed in the movie as the kids on the couch. Unlike me, I'm not even sure what this movie is because....He's probably only away because I'm here too. I try to shake these thoughts out of my head. Today I thought I was going to have to do a very hard thing, basically break up with Fran's family and just be alone like before with her. But it seems like things might not have to go down that route. "Are dad and grandma and gran
Seeing You Again Chapter 40
Ivan's POV I want to bleach my eyes. Why? Because of what I just saw.Dad and Matt kissing. Let me backtrack.I heard shouting. I was just minding my own business, leaving my siblings and grandparents in the living room, when I heard shouting coming from dad's office.Doesn't take a genius to figure out who exactly was arguing. I walk up to the office and hear Matt shouting, something about not being a part of the family, taking a step back, something like that. About us only tolerating his existence. And I guess that is true for me. And it makes me feel guilty because he has been nothing but nice to me, but I just can't seem to accept him, accept that he has Fran all this time and was basically as guilty as mom was in this whole mess. I know it might not be fair, but it's how I feel every time I look at him. Him having Fran all these years, him keeping her from us, her and mom being a big happy family with him and not us. and by the time I reach there the shouting had abruptly
Seeing You Again Chapter 41
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
Seeing You Again Chapter 42
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
Seeing You Again Chapter 43
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 "
Seeing You Again Chapter 44
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
Seeing You Again Chapter 45
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
Seeing You Again Chapter 46
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

Francisca's POV * 1 year later*"Fraaaaaan!" Dad bursts through my door while I'm applying my makeup.I look at him eyes wide. "I can't find my tie. Have you seen my tie?!" "Um" I say, not sure of the answer. But that's not good enough for me panicked father."Right here dad!" Ivan shouts, coming in my room, holding up a black tie.Dad sighs in relief while Ivan laughs."God, I've never seen you so nervous." He says."Well, it's my wedding, I think I've earned the right." "Don't worry, dad," I giggle, "I'm pretty sure Matt is as nervous as you right now."A week after the whole Donna incident, Dad and Matt told me- us that they have feeling for each other and asked for our blessing for them to explore their relationship.I can't say I wasn't surprised. In fact, I think I didn't believe until I actually saw them go on dates, and kiss, and flirt. It was so weird....and beyond my wildest dreams.I always wanted us to be a real family. All of us. I looked and brainstormed so many ways
Seeing You Again Chapter 55
Third person POVNo one knew what to do with Donna's confession.Not Agatha who trusted Donna for a time, who was comforted by the fact that Wendy had a best friend, only to have that best friend betray her this way.Not Matt, who was dealing with his own feelings for his ex's ex.Not the kids- Ivan, Dan, and Francisca- who were listening at the door and had no idea things would lead them here.Not Zach who had a million questions in his mind now.Because this just got a whole lot more complicated. Zach narrowed his eyes at the woman."You loved me?" He asked. Donna nods in conformation and speaks, "your relationship with Donna was already on the rocks and so I took the opportunity when it was handed to me.""What does that mean?" Zach asks, dreading the answer.Donna shrinks back and hesitates to answer but with Zach's intense gaze on her, she thinks better on her silence."I might have told her that it would be best for her to....leave you and start anew somewhere else and that I'
Seeing You Again Chapter 54
Third Person POV In the dimly lit room, Zach and Donna faced each other, the tension crackling like electricity between them. Matt and Agatha in the background, almost forgotten. Zach didn't say anything. He didn't say anything for a long time. Just kept sipping his tea, slow and agonizing. It made Donna more nervous. She wanted this over with. She wanted him and Wendy's mother and the man she recognized as Francisca's stepfather to leave. He can say what he came here to say and get out of her life forever. Her past plans never worked, and she was just so tired. She didn't care anymore, she doesn't have any more grand plans. She just wants to put this whole thing behind her. When Zach finally spoke, his voice was like ice, each word cutting through the air with precision. "Donna, the time for your lies and deception is over, it's time to bring your secrets to light." Donna's breath caught in her throat, her heart hammering in her chest as she tried to maintain her
Seeing You Again Chapter 53
Zach's POVI have all the proof I need to put Donna Carlisle behind bars for her crime. For taking my daughter away from me. Matt, Agatha and I are on our way right now to Donna's company, where she is right now. Mister Larsen is supposed to meet us there to hand us the proof. We've already contacted the police, and because I am me, they will not hesitate, they are going to meet us there too. I work fast, I know, but that is how I prefer to do things, I'm not going to give Donna the chance to even think about getting away, about escaping judgment. I'm not even giving her the chance to know that she might- no, will be judged. I can never bring back the lost times. I don't know if getting my revenge on Donna is going to make me feel better, or make me satisfied. It probably won't, I'll still feel the loss of the years I missed every time I look at Fran. But that doesn't mean that I'm going to waste the time I have with her now, which is the rest of my life. I suppose getting Donna
Seeing You Again Chapter 52
Francisca's POV The door that we thought would get us into Donna's office wasn't actually the door. The actual door is the door, within the door within the door. I'm no architect, but this is some weird building. Donna has another secretary that we apparently have to go through, I swear it feels like we are inside a game, getting through different levels of monsters to get to fight the final boss. Fortunately, Donna's other secretary - who I now know was merely the receptionist called this secretary so we didn't have to make any moves to convince this one to let us through. She just pointed us to the door, which was the final door, thank god. "Do we knock, or..." I say, when we are in-front of the door that would lead us directly to the CEO office before Ivan opens the door, aggressively. I wince. Kinda wish we were a bit gentler than that. Don't want this Donna person to think we were attacking her or anything. Though, I'm not sure that's not the exact vibe my brothers
Seeing You Again Chapter 51
Francisca's POV I know eavesdropping is wrong. One can't just intrude on someone else's privacy like that. But when that someone doesn't close their door properly, they only have themselves to blame. That was a lot of information to process, what I just heard coming out of Dad's office. Mom's friend. Mom's friend, helped her take me, kidnap me. Why? Did mom give her money to do so? Was it because of a misguided sense of friendship and loyalty? All questions I had swirling in my head as I headed back to the living room where my brothers were. I couldn't hide the conflicting emotions and confusion that were on my face. So, they easily figured out that something happened. That something was wrong. And I told them everything. *** We were probably hasty in out decision to come here. It's just that when I told what I told to my older brothers, they were....well, saying that there were upset is an understatement. They wanted to come here, to try and understand ever
Seeing You Again Chapter 50
Third person POV The pastZach arrived at Donna's fashion agency, his mind racing with questions and worries about Wendy and Francisca's disappearance. As the elevator rose to Donna's top floor office, Zach steeled himself for the confrontation. Though normally even-tempered, the desperation of the last few weeks had taken its toll. The doors opened with a ding, revealing Donna's opulent reception area. Zach went ahead towards the door paying no mind to the protests of Donna's secretary. "Wait sir you can't jus-!" Zach barged into Donna's spacious office on the 30th floor, fuming and taking in the minimalist modern decor and sweeping city views. Donna sat behind her glass desk, typing on her laptop. At the sound of the door, she looked up with a polite smile that faded as she recognized Zach. "Zach, what a surprise. To what do I owe the pleasure?" Donna said, a slight waver in her usually composed tone. Zach approached the desk calmly yet with an undercurrent of menace and sat
Seeing You Again Chapter 49
Agatha’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
Seeing You Again Chapter 48
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?
