Katie's POV: Today is the 13th of April, only a couple of people know why this date is a huge thing for me. "So are you going to ring him?" Colton asked. "I don't know." I replied. "Maybe we should go see him?" Wes suggested. "You know what he's like, he probably won't even care unless we come with a bottle of Jack or Jim." I replied letting out a deep breathe that I unaware of holding. "We can go and drag him out by his ear." Meg randomly said. I giggled. "We can't get there today. No plane tickets." I replied. Wes and Colton looked at each other then both held up tickets. "So all four of us are going?" I asked. "We are going for like a day and one night though, leave in about an hour." Colton said. "WHAT!" I yelled. "I PACKED YOUR BAGS ALREADY WHILE YOU SLEPT." Meg yelled back. "Okay, lets go." I replied. "I love how spontaneous you all are, just packed my bags and tell me we are going to see Dad." I replied as we hopped into the car. 

Meg's POV: My Uncle I haven't seen him since Auntie died. So I was very young and I'm kinda afraid to see him because of all the stories I've heard, but I can't imagine what Katie is feeling. "So how's Anthony? Is he treating you right?" Katie asked. "He good and he treats me like a princess." I replied. "Does he fuck you like a porn star?" She asked smirking.  I choked on air and she started laughing. "Just casually ask me that question why don't ya?" I replied. "So?" So asked sounding not phrased at all. "Okay, we haven't done it yet. Okay." I replied. "Making him work for it aye?" She asked. "Yup." I replied. "Just like your cousin." Colton said. "Shh." Katie said giggling. 

Colton's POV: So we all arrived in the airport, checked in and walked over to the gate. "So we are really doing this?" Katie asked nervously. I sat down beside her on a seat and pulled her close. "We are all going to be here for you." I whispered to her before giving her a kiss on the forehead. 

Shortly after our flight was called and we made our way on flashing on tickets on the way in. I sat next to Wes because Meg and Katie sat next to each other. Even after all the drama, I'm surprised it isn't awkward between us. "So do you know her Dad well?" I asked. "Yeah I do." He replied. "Should I be worried to meet him?" I asked. "Nah he would be too drunk to even try anything." Wes replied. "Is he that bad?" I asked stunned. "Wait and see bro." He replied. 

Wes's POV: So we arrived home, I looked at Meg and she smiled slightly. "When was the last time you saw him?" I asked. "Auntie's funeral, so years ago." She replied. "Where are we going to stay?" She asked. "At my Mums." I replied. "Cool." She said. We walked out of the airport and Mum was there waiting. "Hello my darlings." She said giving me and Katie a group hug. "I would like you to meet Meg and Colton." Katie introduced. "Meg is my cousin and Colton is my man." Katie added. "How lovely to meet you both." Mum said. We all piled into the car and made our way home. "Oh home sweet home." I cheered as we walked inside. I ran up to my room and jumped onto my bed. "How did I know that's the first thing you would do?" Katie asked as she walked passed. "Because you and me are best friends." I replied like it was obvious. She rolled my eyes and followed after Colton down the hall. Meg ran up and into the spare room opposite mine. "Nice house you have here." She yells out to me. I smiled and walked into her room. "So when are we going to go see my Uncle?" She asked me as she unpacked her clothes. "Whenever everyone is ready." I replied. "Well I'm ready when aeveryone else is ready." She replied. Katie and Colton appeared at the door frame. "Lets do this." Katie replied. "Oh kids." Mum say as she ran upstairs. "Mum we ain't kids anymore." I whined. "Shh Wes." Katie said. "Thanks Katie, and invite your Dad for tea okay?" She asked Katie."Okay." She replied. "Alright I'm going out so lock up when you leave." She told us all. "Alright bye Mum." I replied. 

Katie's POV: "Okay, who's ready to go?" Wes asked. "We are." I answered for Colton and I. "Me too." Meg replied. "Lets go then." Wes replied. I let out a deep breathe as we left the house and started our walk to the pub. "So I was thinking I should go in first, then I'll bring you guys over one by one." I replied as we turned the corner going onto the road of the pub. "Good idea we don't want to bombard him." Meg replied. We then stopped outside the pub. "Alright, I'll text you all one by one to come over otherwise." I said nervously as I looked into the pub. "You will be fine babe." Colton reassured me. I gave him a hug, let out a deep breathe then walked in. This is a typical pub, old men all over the place with a jug in hand laughing over something pathetic. I dodged through table and searched high and low until I found him talking to the bartender. "Now or never." I told myself before walking over and sitting in a stool beside him. "Can I please have a cruiser?" I asked the bartender. "Sure hun." The older man bartender said. "Oi, watch who you are calling hun." Dad said not even looking at me. "Why? You know her?" The bartender asked. "Yeah it's Katie." He said. I was shocked and so was the bartender. "Hey Dad." I said shakily. "What brings you here?" He asked taking a sip of his drink. "Do you not know what day it is?" I asked. "Um it's just another day, who even counts the day anymore." He said. "Well happy birthday anyway." I said. The bartender came back with my drink. "On the house." He said. "Thank you." I replied. "So how are you?" I asked Dad. "I've fucking fantastic." He replied. I nodded. "Do you remember Meg, Dad?" I asked. "Blankly." He replied. "Well she's here right now actually." I replied. "Great." He replied. I text Meg and she made her way over. "Hey Uncle." She said sitting down on the other side of him. "Meg." He replied. "So have you been up to?" She asked. "Drinking, sleeping." He replied. "Sounds like fun." She replied. "So Dad, where are you living now?" I asked. He pointed up. "You live here?" I asked. He nodded, took a gulp of his drink and then called the bartender for more. "Been to visit Mum?" I asked. That's when he first laid eye contact on me. "You've changed." He said, completely ignoring the question."Well it's been a few years Dad." I replied. "Oh how the time fly." He said before taking a sip of his new drink.

Meg's POV: Seeing my Uncle like this breaks my heart. He looks matted and messy. The alcohol stink is an overpowered odour from him. Katie is being so strong but her eyes tell a different story, she's devastated. "So where's that boy?" Uncle asked Katie. "Are you talking about Wes?" She asked. "Yup." He replied bluntly. "Do you want to see him?" She asked. "Oh why not?" He replied. She text Wes and he pulled up a chair next to me. "Wesley." Uncle said. "Hello." He replied. "So Katie how many people did you invite to this reunion?" Uncle asked bluntly. "I brought my boyfriend as well." She replied. "I always thought you and him would get together." Uncle said pointing at Wes. I giggled a little. "No Dad he is my best friend." She replied awkwardly. Colton walked over and sat down beside Katie. 

Colton's POV: As I walked over I got nervous, I'm meeting her family, even though she's hasn't got the best relationship with him, he is still her father. I pulled up a chair beside Katie and she gave me a small smile. "Name?" Her Dad asked. "I'm Colton." I replied. "Take care of her, alright?" He asked. I smiled, "always." I replied. We just sat with him and conversation came naturally even though he was drunk, he wasn't to bad of a guy. "Dad I was wandering if you want to come and have tea with us?" Katie asked. "Where?" He asked in return. "At my Mums house." Wes replied. "Alright then." He waved goodbye to the bartender and he followed us out, well stumbled out with us. "Are you alright babe?" I asked as we walked hand in hand. "Yeah, I'm actually surprised, I thought he would refuse to leave with us and he wouldn't even talk to me." She replied. "Well lets just get him eating and somewhat sober." I said smiling as we walked up the drive. 

Meg's POV: Wes and I supported my Uncle as we brought him inside, we lead him to the couch and he sat down. Laraine came downstairs and smiled. "Hello, tea would be ready in half an hour." She said to us all. I smiled and sat down. "Is Colton a good guy?" He asked Wes and I. "He's all good." I replied. "Have you got yourself a man Meg?" He asked. "Yeah I do, his name is Anthony." I replied, smiling. "Everyone is in relationship, everyone is growing up." He said shocked. "I'm not, I couldn't get a girl if I tried." Wes replied. "You're not trying hard enough." Uncle replied. "Does anyone want anything to drink?" Katie asked as she walked in. "No thanks." I replied. "Coffee please." Wes said. "Do we have any alcohol?" Uncle asked. Katie frowned a little, "no we don't." She replied. Uncle grunted then said, "nothing, then." So he lives on alcohol? He won't even have a coffee or tea. That's just sad. 

"Dinner is ready." Katie yells. We all went into the dining room and sat down. Katie gave us all our plates of food and she gave her Dad the biggest plate, he's going to need it. We all sat down and started to eat. Uncle was just vacuuming his food, like he hasn't eaten in years. He finished his food and just waited for us all to finished. "Well thank you so much for the tea, it was nice to see you all. Katie, Wes, Meg you have grown up so much and Colton you are a good man.  But I'm going to go home now." He said standing up. We tried to get him to stay but he ignores us and left. "Well, we shall not focus on the negative but the positive, we all saw him and he is fine, sort of." Laraine said. We all agreed. "I'm going to go out if that's okay." Katie said. "Yeah hun." Laraine said. She smiled and left with Colton. 

Katie's POV: I knew that before the day was over, I had to visit one more person. "Where are we going babe?" Colton asked. I ignored his question and we carried on walking.  I saw the location at the end of the road and I quickly walked down there. We walked through the gate and passed heaps of grave until I have reached the one. "Colton, I want you to meet, Mum."
