I Loved, I Lost & Now I'm Moving On…
Jack was leaning against the door, blocking her attempt of leaving. He still hadn't got his head around the situation and wished his mother was still around to give him advice. But it's all on him, everything depends on his decisions and wants. The thing is, Jack was never good with words or feelings and combine them both, he didn't know how to word his feelings.
He thought that they needed more time together to figure out everything but she was leaving tonight. She was stubborn as he was.
Jack brushed his fingers through his hair, using it as a finger comb. He only did this when he was nervous or anxious, still deep in his thoughts with Tyiona watching him on puzzled. "Jackie, no matter how hard I try to explain" She began reluctantly, bringing up the subject. "It'll never change the fact that I killed her." She stepped towards him, looking up in his direction. "There's a part of me I can't control and I don't want any of you to see me like that, ever. You are my weakness, Jack" She tiptoed as she whispered those last sentence in his ear, sending chills down his spine. "It's better if we're separated."
"We have been for the past year!" He scolded, crossing his arms. "You know what? You piss me off! You want one thing and another. You're the one who-"
"Ruins everything for you?" she finished his sentence.
"No" Jack corrected her. "You complicate things and then you run away."
"I'm not running away!" She exclaimed, she didn't want to see it that way but it was true. "You know I'm an attention seeker, always wanting a grand entrance. I'm sorry for putting you through this, you don't deserve it. Look, I have to go, my flight leaves in exactly one hour" she told him as she looked at her watch, indicating that her flight departs at 7:15pm.
She wrapped her arms around him surprisingly and hugged him fiercely, shifting their places around with her back faced against the door. "I love you, Jack" Tyiona whispered softly, not knowing whether he heard her. Jack wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her back, his intentions not wanting to let go. "Take care, Jackie boy" She smiled up at him for the last time. Jack realized he wasn't guarding the door and it was too late, he watched her leave his life forever.

Tyiona was in her hotel apartment finished packing up the rest of her belongings.
She had her Chief transfer her to Australia and she had no idea what she would be doing down there. She had also pulled some strings to get the cops off of the Mercers. Without any witnesses or Sweet's body, there was no case.
Tyiona couldn't shake the feeling of been a bad mother, leaving her son behind, her world. It was less heart breaking this way. She was afraid of putting her loves in danger, afraid that her past jobs were to reappear and bite her in the ass.
Nothing was ever going to be the same.

Jack paced around in his room, he looked over at the digital clock situated on top of his bedside table. 6:50pm. 25 minutes till her plane departed, till she leaves for good.
He paced around some more, Bobby poked his head inside. "You've been pacing around for the past ten minutes already" he stated. "She's still leaving, that's not gonna change unless you do something bout it." Bobby wasn't any help, Jack already knew the facts but what was he going to do?
"It's not as simple as that Bobby!" Jack exclaimed, as he threw his hands in the air in a fit of rage. He didn't know whether he should fill his brother in about what happened to Lana. Bobby went inside and stood by his little brother, scruffling his hair. "What happened man?" Bobby questioned.
"She killed Lana." Jack blurted, couldn't help it he had to tell somebody.
Bobby had a surprised and shocked mixture on his face. "Who the fuck?" Bobby asked in a slow tone. "Tyiona?" Jack nodded and paced the room some more. "Shit. Well uhh, look at the bright side" Bobby tried to lighten the situation for Jack. "We all do something we're not proud of… and Lana did grab the gun outta my hand and shot Tyiona.. which meant she intended on killing her."
"Don't you think I don't know that?" Jack asked rudely, only because he was running out of time.
"She's gonna be leaving soon," Bobby stated as he headed outside the room, stopping halfway to finish his sentence. "Don't be such a fucken fairy."
Jack shook his head in annoyance, whenever he thought his older brother was been nice, he always had to end the conversation insulting him in someway.
He sat on the edge of his bed, bent over, his head in his hands, tugging his already messed up hair. He felt a presence standing nearby his door, he turned around to tell him off. "Bobby f-" and stopped.
"Oh Jackie." The woman with white yet beautiful curled hair said. The face of an angel Jack thought he had forgotten and was long gone. He sat there in silence, astonished yet he knew it was just a figment of his imagination. "Even when we try to do good things, some badness would be attached. It happens to everybody. Remember, don't be afraid to trust, love again." With the next blink, he saw that she was gone.
Jack hurried downstairs frantically searching for his son, till he found him in the living room hiding behind the couch. "Matt!" Jack yelled as he found him. "Why didn't you answer when I called you!?" Matthew sat there silent. Jack sighed, his son had inherited their stubbornness. 'Figures' Jack thought.

Tyiona sat in the café in the airport, sipping in her hot white coffee. She looked at her watch and noticed it was 10 past 7 already. "Shit!" She cursed herself, the terminal was on the other side where she had to be. She came to the food section to get coffee.
As she was walking halfway to the terminal, she wasn't sure but thought her name were been called out from the speakers. She stopped and listened hard. "Ms Tyiona L (A/N: Remember how I wasn't going to post her last name due to the fact I hadn't clarified what nationality she was because I wanted you when you read it to feel like you were Tyiona. If that makes any sense… So if I put her last name.. it might not seem like that. I'm weird! Continue reading please!) Can you please come to gate AC24. It's an urgent matter. Ms Tyiona L please come to gate AC24." She heard it loud and clear but now was confused what the urgent matter would be. 'Did something happen to my flight?' She thought to herself. 'Why would they say it's urgent? What could be so urgent?' The only way to find out was to go to gate AC24.
xoxoxox
Thoughts and questions were still in her mind as she arrived at the counter. "Hi, I'm Tyiona" She introduced herself to the lady at the counter, whose eyes were widened when she heard her name. "There was a callout for me, an urgent matter?"
"Oh yes, Ms Tyiona" The lady said with an excited smile. "Right behind you." With that Tyiona turned around to see why the lady was excited about.
It then hit her, not physically but emotionally.
There, stood two most important people in her life. Her boys. She couldn't help but smile at them as Jack and Matthew approached, they somehow look goofy to her.
"What are you both doing here? Saying goodbye?" Tyiona asked as she hugged Matthew, oblivious to the plan.
"No" Jack corrected her, she looked back at him confused.
"Jack, I'm going to miss my flight" She stated.
"Why do you love me?" He asked straightforward.
Tyiona now had a more extended confused look. "What?" She blankly asked.
"Before you left, you said you love me." Jack stated the fact. "I want to know why."
"Are you serious?" She asked, fidgeting in place. "I'm missing my flight because you want to know why I love you?!"
"Yup" Jack answered final. "We've only ever been together for a few months and we've been separated ever since. So I want to know how and why you love me."
'What 's the point?' She thought to herself. Tyiona sighed before answering. "I fell for you when I saw the different side of you. Not the 'I'm Jack Mercer' the hard ass. The more time we spent together, I felt like I really did know you for a long, long time. You made it hard, but I screwed things up for us by not telling you about Michael." She shifted her glance at Matthew. "Ever since I had Matty, all I could think about was you." And shifted her glance back at Jack. "I fell in love with the both of you deeply, even though you weren't around. I know, it's strange I don't know how to explain it for you to see it in your eyes."
Matthew stood there silently, watching his parents, curious of the outcome.
"Don't go." Jack told her, and on queue. The speakers started playing.
If I don't say this now I will surely break
As I'm leaving the one I want to take
Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait
My heart has started to separate
There now, steady love, so few come and don't go
Will you won't you, be the one I always know
When I'm losing my control, the city spins around
You're the only one who knows, you slow it down
"If you really do love me, you'll stay." Jack said.
"Oh, Jack…" Tyiona said, tears filling her eyes, with the song continuing playing in the background. He pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry…"
He looked at her, not knowing what she meant, thinking he failed on accomplishing her to stay.
If ever there was a doubt
My love she leans into me
This most assuredly counts
She says most assuredly
It's always have and never hold
You've begun to feel like home
What's mine is yours to leave or take
What's mine is yours to make your own
"I'm sorry I ever thought of leaving you." Tyiona completed her sentence. "The both of you." She grabbed Matthew and pulled him into a trio hug. She cried happily, tears wetting his chest as her face was buried into his shirt.
"Let's get outta here" Jack said.
"So… How did you manage the message and song?" Tyiona asked out of curiosity.
Jack looked over at her, as Matthew was in the middle, his trademark smirk like it was all a big secret but just casually said. "I told you when we first met. The ladies love me. They love me then and they love me now."
Tyiona burst in a fit of laughter before calling him a jerk.
"But guess what?" Jack asked her to guess.
"What?" She asked back.
He stopped and stood in front of her, staring in each others' eyes. "I love you" He told her, placing his palms on her cheeks and kissed her.
"Eww" Matty said loudly, his parents ignoring his remark and continued kissing. He was glad his mother was staying and that they were finally going to be a real family.
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Be my baby
Oh, oh, oh
I'll look after you
I'll look after you.
From the writer:
So here we have it. The final chapter to my first four brothers story ever!
Did you enjoy the adventure? Did you like the ending? Is everybody satisfied or they need an epilogue?
I don't know whether I should have a PRE-QUEL for this story. Does anyone want a pre-quel? More on Jack and Tyiona how they met, instead of all the flashbacks?
To make this chapter fluffier I think you should listen to The Fray – I'll Look After You which is the feature song in this chapter. Ask me and I can send it to you :P
I will be working on a new story, please send me details of your character and what you want if you want to be featured in it!!
I want to thank you all for the great journey;
