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

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
