It was how my family was, whether Frank was there or not, there was no difference and it did not make sense to fuss over something as insignificant as his presence.
I did not have to speak to him and I barely even saw him at home. I was going to talk to Alicia about accepting him because there was nothing we could do about him. It was mum's decision and we just had to respect it.

'I know I could have handled it better but I was just too angry, I've seen mum go through so much, it breaks my heart that it's not ending anytime soon.'
Alicia came to my room hours after her little encounter with Frank.
'You should apologize to him. He didn't deserve any of that.' I was folding my laundry.
'I will. And I went through the list, one of them lives really close to Eric's so he's going to accompany us, tomorrow.'
'Don't you think we should finish with Betty first? There are a lot of things we need to confirm, it will definitely help us relate better with other girls.' I said.
