Thought we were meant to be

Confusion and rebellion

Anna's POV

I went to school then saw Xavier and Fred at the back of the room. I went to my respectful seat, that is next to the boys, sat down and sighed, catching their attention.

"Why are you sad Anna?" Xavier asked

I looked at him as I formed circles on the table with my finger.

I sighed then replied, "I'm just so confused that's all."

"Well what's the reason of your confusion?" Fred asked

I answered him back with another question, "If you discover that you have a very close relative, as in really close like a dad, what would your reaction be?"

The boys kept quiet for a minute then said, "I'd probably accept them."

Their answer was surely satisfying, but it wasn't enough. I need more answers.

Isabella's POV

If I say no to his offers, he'd probably be hurt, and considering that he is still Anna's father, we have to share Anna. But if I say yes to his offers, Anna maybe the one angry at me. I sighed then saw Anna going out of the school. I shot her a warming smile then she ran to me.

"What's wrong sweetie?" I asked

"It's nothing mom." She replied gloomily

"I'm not buying it Anna, now what is wrong?" I asked

She sighed then answered, "Something had just been bothering me."

"What is it?" I asked sincerely

"It's about... um... daddy." She said

Suddenly I knew how this is going.

"I just don't know what to do about it. I mean, he's my dad, but I don't feel any different than your other suitors. And if I'm afraid that I might treat him like the others."

I smiled then said, "I'm sure that it'll be alright for him. And who said about him being my suitor?"

"You mean he's not courting you or stuff?"

"Well, he kinda is, but I don't think that we'll be together just yet."

She frowned then walked to the car. I think she wants to have a daddy, but not quite ready for it yet.

A month had passed and Phineas had visited often and he and I had spent more time for each other. While Anna was a different subject. The closer I got with Phineas, the more sad she became... and she had became a little feisty towards Phineas.

"Anna," I said while she was going downstairs

"Yes mom?" She said

"Would you sit here for a minute. I think it's time for a talk." I replied then she sat down next to me at the couch, "Anna, I've noticed that your behavior lately had not been pretty. Look, I know that you still can't accept Phineas as your daddy, but could you at least love the guy?"

She just looked at me with those eyes, answering my question with a 'Seriously?' with her eyes.

"Fine, not love, but I beg of you, just at least respect MY decision." I said

She sighed, "Mom, I respect your decision, I let him date you didn't I?"

"Oh please, you respect my decision? What if my next decision is to marry him?"

She looked at me with shocked eyes.

"My point is, sweetie, he's still your daddy right? He is still composed of half your genetics. Why couldn't you just accept him?"

"I made it through ten years without him right? And I turned out just right." She replied then ran to her room upstairs

'Oh what am I going to do with you?'
