Fiona and the others seemed to be in a good discussion when the door
opened. They all looked towards it to see Van standing right in the doorway
with a look of seriousness on his face. Fiona immediately tried to look the
other way. "Maybe we should be going," said Irvine grabbing Moonbay and
Thomas. "That might be a good idea," said Moonbay. "Right. We will be going
then," said Thomas and they left the room quietly. All seemed to be really
quiet after that. The two just stood there silently not even trying to say
a thing. Fiona then had enough of the silence and spoke but she ended up
speaking very quietly. "Van I." said Fiona but she couldn't think of what
to say exactly. "What?" asked Van rather harshly. "I guess I understand
why you are angry at me," said Fiona looking at the floor. "No, you don't,"
said Van in an angry tone. "You have all the right to be angry at me," said
Fiona. "I guess I do," said Van. "I'm sorry Van," said Fiona. Van didn't
say anything. The two just seemed to stare at anything besides each other.
"Can either of you hear anything?" asked Moonbay as the three of them stood by the door listening in. "No. they are talking way too quietly," said Thomas. "Will both of you shut up or they might hear us," growled Irvine. The two of them then shut up. Ashley just stood off to the side watching the three of them doing this. "Don't you think they would want to be alone and not have people listening in on them?" asked Ashley. The three of them just ignored her. "Fine, don't listen to me. You will be the ones to get in trouble if you are caught," said Ashley. They still ignored her. She narrowed her eyes at them and then walked away mumbling to herself.
The silence surrounding them was starting to really get to them. "Van please you have to understand," said Fiona quietly. "Why should I? You just left after what happened between us even after you knew what might happen if you did," said Van. "Van. I knew what I was doing, but it still hurt me a lot," said Fiona. "Not as much as it hurt me. It took me months to even start to get over it," said Van rather harshly. "Van you have no idea how hard it was for me," said Fiona. "Obviously not hard enough," said Van. Fiona was confused with what he was saying. "You seemed to get over me just fine, and were able to move on quickly," said Van. Fiona then realized what he was talking about. 'Hasn't he even realized yet about Kristi?' Fiona asked herself. Van then turned around and headed for the door. "Was everything that night a lie?" asked Van. "No," said Fiona quickly. "How?" asked Van. Fiona seemed to remain quiet. "Fine then," said Van continuing to walk towards the door. "Van, wait," Fiona yelled after him. "No. I waited long enough for you to come back all those years ago," said Van opening the door. All three of the eavesdroppers ended up falling to the floor. "You guys were listening in?" asked Van his temper rising. This made him even madder and he just stormed out of the room. They looked after him as he went through the halls. "Why didn't you tell him Fiona?" asked Moonbay. "I never got the chance to," said Fiona as a tear fell down face. She just sat there looking at the area where Van once stood.
Van stormed through the halls ignoring anyone that was trying to talk to him or else he didn't even hear them. He went in his rage to his room and just stood near the door after it had closed. The anger that he once had seemed to melt away leaving him greatly upset. 'Way to go pinhead," Van thought to himself as he laid against the wall. 'That is not how I would have dreamt it would go when I saw Fiona again,' Van thought. "How could it have gone so horribly wrong," he said. Van was losing his temper again this time at his self. 'Why," said Van through gritted teeth as he punched the wall sending his hand right into it. Van carefully pulled his hand out of the wall. What he saw was that it was blood everywhere over his hand and a big hole in the wall. "Great," said Van as he went to get a first aid kit that he had in his room.
A few minutes later after his hand was patched up Van walked out of his room and headed towards the hanger. He didn't notice though that he walked right past Irvine. "Don't you think that you were a little rude to Fiona?" asked Irvine startling Van a little. Van looked at Irvine then just continued to walk on. "Well?" asked Irvine running to catch up with Van. "It is none of your business," said Van not even looking at Irvine. "You should have at least have listened to her. I know she had something that she wanted to say to you badly," said Irvine. "What?" asked Van this time looking at Irvine. "I am not going to tell you. You will have to listen to Fiona if you want to learn what it is," said Irvine. "I don't want to see her right now," said Van. "Listen Van. Fiona seems pretty devastated right now by some of the things that you said to her," said Irvine. Although Van didn't show it he did feel bad for saying those things. Van just kept walking ahead of Irvine. "Are you really that heartless?" asked Irvine. "I just need time to think," said Van. "You are being a real jerk do you know that?" asked Irvine. "I guess I am," said Van in an emotionless tone. Irvine just stared at Van as he walked off.
Van just sat in the cockpit of the liger looking over the controls trying to find anything wrong with the liger just to try and get Fiona out of his mind. He was so deep in thought though that he didn't even notice the knocking coming from the canopy. Only when the pounding became even louder did he actually take notice. He looked up to see the stern face of Ashley looking back at him. "What do you want?" asked Van opening up the cockpit. "To talk to you," said Ashley keeping her stern face. "If it is about Fiona, forget it," said Van. "Listen Van. I may not even know Fiona but I know that you aren't being fair to her by not listening to her," said Ashley. "I already got this lecture from Irvine so go away," said Van rather harshly. He was about to close the canopy but she stopped him. "Talk to her. I am sure you may not be too disappointed," said Ashley, "By the way what happened to your hand," she said noticing the bandages on Van's hand. "I put it through a wall," said Van in an emotionless tone. "Ouch," said Ashley. "You really should talk to her," said Ashley leaving the area. Van closed the canopy and just sat there long after she left. Van couldn't seem to take all of this. Then he made a decision.
Fiona couldn't help but cry. Van hated her and wouldn't even talk to her. Moonbay tried her best but couldn't get her to calm down. "Fiona it will be ok," said Moonbay nicely. This didn't stop Fiona from crying. Moonbay didn't know what to do. She was planning on going and dragging Van back here to apologize when the door opened and Van walked in. Fiona noticed him and calmed down a little but tears still fell down her face. "I will leave you two alone," said Moonbay walking out of the room but stop to give Van a warning glare, which he just ignored.
When she was gone there was silence in the room. Fiona thought that now was the best time to tell the truth or she would never be able to. "Well I am listening," said Van. Fiona was glad that he didn't sound angry. For some reason though she didn't have any idea how to tell him what she wanted to. "Van there is something you really need to know," said Fiona. "Well what is it?" asked Van. "I am not telling you this to try and get you back or anything because I know for a fact that things will never be the same as they were a few years ago," said Fiona. "ok. Just tell me what it is?" asked Van. "Van regardless of what you think. I was never able to move on with my life when I left. I never moved on to another person I stayed lonely all these years except for Kristi," said Fiona. "What do you mean?" asked Van. "Van, Kristi is my daughter you know that, but the thing is that she is your daughter as well," said Fiona looking the other way not wanting to see his expression. Van however had an expression of pure shock on his face. He was speechless. He just couldn't believe it. Kristi was their daughter. She was the daughter of him and Fiona. Fiona finally looked at his face and noticed the shock in it. Finally he was able to speak. "I'm sorry," said Van, "I should have listened to you before but I just kept coming up with accusations," said Van. He started towards the door. Van started to walk towards the door. He stopped at the door and spoke without even turning around. "I may have said I was sorry but you were right. Things never will be the same again even if she is our daughter," said Van sternly as he opened the door and walked out of the room very silently. Fiona had expected this but couldn't help but let more tears fall.
"Can either of you hear anything?" asked Moonbay as the three of them stood by the door listening in. "No. they are talking way too quietly," said Thomas.
