Dan's POV

*Flashback to 7 years ago*

I'm playing video games in my room ignoring my maths homework that's sitting on my desk untouched when my door bursts open and Little 9 year old Francisca jumps on me and attacks me.

She's on top of me and I groan when she says "Dan! Dan! Can you come play with me?" She asks.

I get her off of me, "no can do sis, I'm in the middle of something" I bring my attention back to the tv screen and continue playing.

"Come ooooon!" Francisca whines. "Please danny, you've been playing for hours and hooouuurrrss" .

"Stop whining you baby, I don't want to play with you" I say "and calling me Danny isn't gonna work anymore" I continue narrowing my eyes at her. She pouts as I roll my eyes.

I hate it when she calls me Danny, she always calls me that when she wants something like go play with her or if she wants the last chocolate chip cookie that I was about to eat. She calls me Danny and gives me those puppy dog eyes of hers and I just do whatever she w

    Francisca's POV*gym class* Our gym teacher Mr Garrison is making us run laps and I feel like I'm dying. Violet is right behind me, We've stuck together ever since my first day at this school, and honestly I'm enjoying her company so much. I told Jenny and Lori all about her, and they said they are happy that I made a new friend so fast.Anyways I continue running until our gym teacher gives us a water break. I can't help but think about what happened in the cafeteria earlier. Why the heck did Dan approach us? Approach me? It was really weird, are they on to me or something? I mean if they knew who I was they would've said something right? Or maybe they're waiting for me to say something? Ugh I don't know I think I gotta stop overthinking this.Moments later Violet sits next to me, and drinks from her water. I debate asking her for advice on this whole situation. I really really want to talk to my brothers, to have an actual reunion. But then I think about Matt and feel so inc

    Francisca's POV * Three years ago *I'm sitting alone at the dance, the father- daughter dance . I didn't want to come to this dance, I didn't want to think about how all these girls are with their fathers and I'm just missing mine. I hear about him. Almost every time I open my phone I search for his name, for my brothers name. I never have the courage to try and make contact though. Why? because I'm such a coward when it comes to this. I don't want to make mom mad, I fear to know if my father actually gave me up. But I guess because of those fears I'm where I am right now, alone in a father-daughter dance. I really really didn't want to come, but Jenny and Lori convinced me to, we've only been friends for two months and I don't want them to think I'm lame or something. They said that we'd be hanging out the whole time and we have, until it was time for the father - daughter dance. So here I am being miserable, just watching the fathers with their daughters. When suddenly I

    Francisca's POV I wake up at the sound of Matt's voice telling me to wake up. I groan, "nooo Matt I don't wanna go to school". Matt chuckles "what are you 12?"I sit up and attempt to glare at him but I'm too tired to actually do it. Matt looks at me amused "come on" he says "breakfast is ready".I get out of bed and get ready. I head towards the kitchen and find Matt there. We begin eating and I think about if I should tell him about my brothers. I mean I am fond of Violet's idea, to just not tell Matt or dad about any of this, but is it the right thing to do? It's definitely the easiest thing. Even the easiest thing isn't that easy either ugh. I internally groan. "What's going on with you?" I hear Matt ask. "Hmm oh nothing, nothing is going on" I say too quickly. Matt narrows his eyes at me "are you sure? Because you have seemed a bit distracted in the last couple of days" he says. "Have I?" I ask nervously. "Yes, yes you have" he says "are you gonna tell me what's going

    Dan's POV Ivan is currently in the principal's office along with William Bradly. The guy he had a fight with. I have no idea what happened, why Ivan beat him up so bad, why the fight started in the first place. I guess it's not exactly new behavior. He's gotten into fights before, both in and out of school.I was in my own thoughts when I see dad coming my way. We make eye contact and I stand up from my chair. "What happened?" Dad asks, he sounds totally pissed. "I don't know" I shrug. Dad nods and gives my shoulder a squeeze and heads inside. Once he does I notice Violet's friend to my right, a few feet away from me looking at the principle's door. What is she doing here? Just then a man and woman, who I presume are William's parents head inside too, not paying me any attention.I bring my attention back to Francisca and just stare at her. Seriously, why is she here? Did here friends send her to find out what happened or something? That's just annoying.Finally, she notice

    Francisca's POVSitting in the car with Matt has never made me feel this nervous. I feel like i might throw up. What was that today!? Why did I devait from my own plan?! This is a complete and utter disaster! I couldn't find Dan again after our last god awful interaction, which means that he left school early with Ivan, which means that he probably told dad and Ivan about me. Ughhhhh can't one thing go right in my life!? "Are you okay?" Matt asks. "Mhm" I say as I look his way, he looks worried. I hate worrying him but I can't exactly tell him what's going on. I mean I have no idea what that conversation would even look like. "Are you sure?" He asks again, "i already told you Matt, I'm perfectly fine" I say and voice cracks at the end. Shit. "Riiiight" Matt says, "I don't buy it". I shake my head at him. "Francisca you know you can talk to me about anything right?" Matt says. I nod my head still internally freaking out about Dan telling my father and Ivan about me. "And no

    Third Person POVDan and Francisca are walking in silence. Dan is leading them to an ice cream place as he said it would be the perfect place to talk. Francisca was feeling all kinds of emotions about this "talk" though.She was extremely nervous, and so excited, she wanted this for so long, she wanted to speak to her brother, catch up, she wanted him in her life again. But a part of her couldn't help but be begging for an escape. Was she ready to have this talk? She is just so so scared to talk to her own brother. How sad is that? Dan has been subtlety stealing glances at her as they walked, he still couldn't quite wrap his head around the fact that his little sister is finally with him. She was right next him, they were freaking going to an ice cream shop together and just talk, like they always did way back when. He saw the look on his sister's face, he saw how nervous she was. That's why he was waiting to ask the questions that he wanted to ask once they settled somewhere, and m

    Francisca raised an eyebrow at him. Oh? That was his response."That's it?" Francisca asked, she expected more of a reaction that was for certain and pretty clear. Maybe Dan wasn't sad? Francisca had all thoughts in her head and that was one of them, like the woman left him alone at twelve years old, he probably really resented her for that. So maybe she shouldn't be upset with Dan's lack of...emotion? To the topic.After a few seconds more, Dan straightens and clears his throat. "Then, um...." Dan began to say. "Um if mom is gone, Then who are you living with?" Dan asked. He was confused, if their mom died, then surly Francisca would at least have considered contacting them, instead of being put into foster care or something."Um..." Francisca answered, she now had to reveal to her brother the whole Matt thing. She thought she was kind of prepared maybe, but apparently she still wasn't ready, not at all. She was still so scared of the reactions to Matt. They might get hurt because

    Should he leave? I mean I don't know if I'm ready for him and Matt to meet but....I guess I'm trying not to hide things and not lie to Matt anymore, and If I know anything about myself, is that if Matt asks about me skipping school, and he will, I'll probably come up with another lie, since it's something that I apparently do pretty easily now. I take a deep breath. "Would you be okay if you stayed?" I asked Dan. He had a surprised look on his face, he definitely expected me to send him on his way, but I guess...I guess I'm just really exhausted from having to lie to Matt. If Matt finds out what's happening now, then part of my goals are over. Like ripping off a bandaid.Dan nods and just then, Matt's car comes into view and stops right in front of us.Matt quickly gets out of the car towards me. Once he reaches me, he does something unexpected. He hugs me. Which is a relief I thought that he's be super mad. Matt breaks the hug to get a good look at me. "Are you okay? Are you

"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.

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'

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

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?
