Lynn's P.O.V. 

I don't like my father at all. I don't want to talk to him. The last I saw of him wasn't good. I don't need him in my life, but I am a forgiving person and I hate that about myself sometimes. This is one of those times. 

I don't say anything as I sit down at the table with him. He starts talking to me. 

"I know that I did terrible things and I was a horrible dad. I know I was never there for you and Chase. I should have been. I know all that and much more. I screwed up badly. I need to do something good. I figured since you are here by yourself, that you might need some money. I can give you some. I know this must be really depressing for you and I kno--"

I interrupt him. "You don't know anything. You know nothing about me or my life. You don't know how difficult this is for me. Especially you being here now. You don't know anything! You didn't know Chase and you don't know me. Why are you even here? The last I saw of you was you screaming at me because you are a terrible person and cheated and I was little and didn't know any better to not tell mom what I saw. You hit me around and you hurt me. You said I was to blame because you were a dipshit and cheated on the best woman ever! You don't know anything so stop saying you do."

"I am so so SO sorry. I hurt you. I am sorry. I really am. Please just let me help. Please let me do somethi--" 

DING-DONG

I get up and walk to the front door. I open the door and a lady stands there in a nice, tight-fitting, blue dress. She holds a folder to her chest. She holds her hand out to me to shake. I shake her hand.

"Hello. I am Teri Catania. I am here to talk about Natalie Matterson's belongings and the house. Are you the daughter, Lynn Matterson?" she asks me formally.

"Yes. I am Lynn. Come on in. We can talk about all the details inside," I tell her politely.

She walks into the house and follows me the kitchen. She sits down across from me. My father is still sitting at the table and he looks confused. 

"So, do you know what you want done, Miss Matterson?" she asks.

"I believe I do. I would like to sell the house being as I live full time in California. I want to keep a lot of my mother's belongings, as stated in the will. Along with my mother's things, I want to keep my brother's, Chase, things. I am going to keep these things in a storage. I want to go through the house myself and keep certain things. The rest can be auctioned off. I already picked the things I would like to keep. It is all in Chase's and my mother's room. The rest can go. I am planning to go back to California sometime soon," I finish. She writes down all of what I said. 

"Anything else, Miss Matterson?" she asks. 

"No," I say.

"When is it okay for the people to come pick the unwanted things up?" she asks.

"Tomorrow morning around 10:00. I will clear out everything else," I state. 

"Okay. I will notify them as soon as possible. Is there anything you would like to add?" she asks me. 

"No," I say. 

"Okay, then. That will be all. Thank you for your cooperation. It was a pleasure," she shakes my hand and shows herself out. I hear the front door close and the car starts and drives away. 

"You don't live here?" my father asks me. 

"No. Like I said: You don't know anything about me. You aren't my dad. I don't have one. You can leave now," I tell him. He gets up and walks to the door. 

When he is halfway out the door he says "Take care of yourself," and then he leaves.

"So when do you want to go back to LA, Ethan?" Grayson asks. 

We walked over here just to ask him that then I have to go back over and start packing the stuff I want up in boxes. The rest I am going to leave.

"About two days. Three at most," he says. "Why what's up?" 

"I was wondering. I agree with you," I say.

"So it is settled. The day after tomorrow?" Gray say. 

"Yeah," I say. 

"I will get our passports ready," Ethan says. 

"Okay," Gray and I say. 

Grayson and I start walking back over to my house. 

Once I get in the house, I start packing. It is around 1:00 in the afternoon when we start. After a while, Grayson starts helping me. I pack all of my things first. I go to my mom's room next and Chase's last. I walk throughout the house picking up various things and putting them in boxes to keep. 

After we finish, I look at the time. 11:37 at night. I am exhausted. I go to the couch and lay down on my belly. I lay there for a couple of minutes before Grayson walks up behind me. He starts to rub my back and it feels wonderful. I let out a groan. He keeps rubbing my back and I start to drift off into sleep. 

I stay asleep until I wake up in the middle of the night to things falling in the house; things breaking.
