All Chapters of Seeing You Again : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Francisca's POV Today is the day I step foot in my family's home. Probably, if dad is not at work, which he probably is. Matt has called in sick for me so I wouldn't attend school today. Used my nose as an excuse. It's 10:00 am now so I don't know if Dan's gonna be there.... or Ivan. God I messed up. Dad definitely made it known that I'm back. Ivan probably knows who I am and I can't imagine what he must be feeling. This is gonna be a long day. Matt and I are in the car right now, he's driving me to their house first. Matt said to try their house before going to Dad's workplace, he said that if it was him, he wouldn't be able to go to work and would probably call in sick. I'm incredibly nervous. We agreed that it should be just me this time with dad. Matt and Dad would have another conversation at another time. I don't think Matt being there is gonna help much to be honest. Shortly enough we're in front of the house. Now that I'm here, I feel like I might be ambushing him by be

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

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

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

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
