Todos os capítulos de Seeing You Again : Capítulo 31 - Capítulo 40

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

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

Dan's POVToday is the day I "bond" with Matt, Francisca's guardian, Francisca's step father, and I guess my step father too, or ex....I don't know how we will come out of today, but I doubt we will become besties, considering we barley spoke a word to each other on the ride here. We are at the park now, just waking and eating hotdogs that we bought earlier. I have anticipated that this was going to be awkward, but I didn't know it was going to be this awkward. We haven't spoken a word to each other, well other than when Matt asked if I wanted a hotdog. Other than that, not a word. As much as I want the silence and the awkwardness to stop, I have no idea what we are supposed to be talking about.We end up sitting on a park bench, still not taking, still not making eye contact, still nothing. But I do see Matt out of the corner of my eye glance at me a few times. I'm guessing he's as much of a fan of the awkwardness as I am."So....how is school?" Matt finally asks. "Good good"

Matt's POV So, this whole dinner thing a week ago was a disaster and it made me question a lot of things. Well, it's not like I didn't have these thoughts before, but now I think I should really put some distance with Fran's family.I'm not saying to cut them off completely. That's not exactly possible.But I don't think I can keep the family act up, because that's all it is. An act. The dinner last week confirmed that.Me? My relationship with Zach, and the others, it's not normal and it never will be and I have to talk to him about that. The next time I see him I'm going to talk to him about the new boundaries I'm thinking of, next time for sure. But why does the thought of distancing myself from him and the boys make my heart hurt? It shouldn't, I'm not one of them, Ivan hasn't even warmed up to me yet. I have no right to be a part of their family. So, once I got the opportunity to meet up with Zach at his house, I took it, and here I am today. Sitting across from Zach sippin

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
