A New Beginning…?

It's been a few months later, the past were left behind. Everyone was trying to move on with their lives, including Jack. Things continued just as they were stopped, lives were continued to live all except for Tyiona. Without her.

…

"Why do you keep pulling away from me?" The brunette girl bit her lip as she asked him, wanting to know the real reason for all the excuses she had to put up with recently. She knew he definitely had feelings for her but something was just holding him back. She thought she knew everything about him but what why was it so hard for him to show his true feelings? The fact that he has a son didn't get in the way of her wanting him, so what the problem?

"What do you mean?" Jack asked nervously, as he adjusted himself on the velvet cushion. Suddenly it was getting hot, he rolled up his sleeves revealing the word spares that were tattooed across his right arm.

"I tell you I'm falling for you and you just say okay?" She stated, tying her hair up to keep it from falling down her face. Her bright blue eyes stared straight at his.

"What do you want from me, Lana?" Jack questioned her, trying to talk things out before their relationship screws up. "I'm with you aren't i?"

"I know we're together and all" Lana began. "But it doesn't feel like we're both in this relationship. You're, you're just holding back. That's what it feels like anyways."

"I learnt not too take things too seriously because when you do that's when all the fun stops." Jack said seriously. "I don't want things to be magnified or looked at over and over."

She didn't quite understand his statement and took it the wrong way. "Fun? Fun? Is that what we're all about? Is that the only thing that you think about? Or want? You're unbelievable." Lana stood up and pointed to the door. "I want you to leave, please."

Jack stood up and tried to console her. "I didn't mean fun that way, babe" But she didn't want to listen. "I meant that we should enjoy our relationship, not spend all the times fighting. Is that what you want?" He looked down on her, placing his hands on her face looking straight in each others' eyes. All he wanted was for her to understand.

"I get what you're telling me but… It's hard to enjoy a relationship when I don't know what you're feeling." Lana confessed. "I don't know how you feel about me. You always leave me wondering and it drives me crazy sometimes."

Jack had a half smile and finally told her, "I like you, Lana." With that, he kissed her passionately just hoping she gets it. He wanted her to be assured that his feelings were true.

Over the few months that had passed, Jack tried to be someone else. Not someone entirely different, he just wanted to become what was appropriate. He was still with his band and all, been a great father to Matthew and was still in touch with his brothers, and of course he was still living at home, household consisted of Bobby, Angel, Sofi and Matthew.

…

"Can you both just stop tryna kill each other?" Poppie yelled at them both. The usual culprits were Bobby and Sofi. At it at each other frequently.

"She annoys the hell outta me!" Bobby exclaimed, making his point.

"Shutup, Bobby!" Sofi yelled back.

Poppie saw as Angel was approaching them in the kitchen. "Angel, why don't you take Sofi to the bedroom and I get this one outta the way so War World 3 doesn't begin?"

"Yeah, for sure. I was tryna sleep before man. All I can hear is all this noise" Angel said as he led steamed up Sofi upstairs.

Poppie put both her hands on her hips and looked at Bobby. "Do you have feelings for her? Is that what all this fighting is about? I think you guys should get it over and done with." She was dead serious, they still fight after all this time, and there must be a real reason behind this.

"You gotta be joking me" Bobby muttered. "What's wrong with you? I would never do that to my brother, man." He walked off and shrugged off the idea that she claimed.

"Don't walk away from me!" Poppie instructed.

Bobby turned around and asked with a sheepish voice. "What? What the hell are you going to do about it?"

"Argh!" Poppie said, frustrated. "Talking to you is like talking to a freaken brick wall. At least I get looked at by the fucken bricks." She grabbed her jacket from the hangers.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Bobby asked as he watched her put her jacket on.

Poppie headed towards the door and before she turned the doorknob. "You can sleep by yourself or with whoever you want. Do whatever you like Bobby. You're so bloody stubborn."

Bobby grabbed her arm. "Don't leave" He looked at her with puppy dog eyes. "Please" He did really mean it though. Bobby was attached to her, he found someone that could put up with his shit and really did care for her after the torments he put her through.

He picked her up and hugged her with all his might. "I-lo-uhh… let's go upstairs" He said nervously as he was about to blurt what he wanted to tell her for ages but instead changed his words.

"Awww, my teddy bear" Poppie eagerly said as she pinched his cheeks.

"Hey, don't do that" Bobby warned her jokingly.

…

Malty stood there with ultimate shock. She shook her head, feeling angry and devastated. Her heart was literally breaking into pieces.

"The baby...?" She asked her boyfriend, her voice shaking, urging the words to come out. "You're the father?"

He saw the look on her face and hated it, he shouldn't of told her. "Babe, that happened in the past. I didn't mean to, I didn't want to tell you but I didn't want to lie." Nathan told her, trying to patch things up, trying to prevent what was seen ahead. "I love you, Malty. I really do."

"What's going to happen?" Malty sobbed, her eyes were red from crying. "We were going to get married, Nate. We were going to have a family…"

"We will do all that stuff, hun" He confirmed, holding her hands to assure her that everything was going to turn out fine. "We're going to have a future together no matter what."

"No. I can't have that future with you. You cheated on me!" Malty decided. "You've got a family now. I can't" She took off her engagement ring he proposed her with. "You've made your choice and these are the cards you have to deal with." She placed it in his hand.

"Emma, I love you. I want to marry you." Nathan pleaded, trying to change back her mind.

"Don't call me Emma." Malty instructed. "I need time from this okay? I need time."

…

The three girls sat next to each other, filling in each other with the latest.

"I can't believe it" Both Poppie and Leeza said.

"I know" Malty agreed. "Me too."

"I wish Ty was here" Leeza blurted. "Everything will be much different. She would knock some sense into us"

"Yeah" Poppie uttered.

"I'm leaving" confessed Malty. "I mean, we're not continuing with the band are we? We haven't done anything for ages since Ty. I just don't think there's anything for me here. I'm going back." Malty looked at the girls, waiting to hear what they have to say.

"What about us!" Poppie asked prudely.

"You have Bobby!" Malty exclaimed which made her shut up.

"Oh, and what about me?" Leeza asked, knowing there was no answer to this.

"You've got a part of your family here and amongst these guys too" Malty said. "Besides, I miss Australia. It's probably time to head down there."

The other two girls were silent. They had never been separated ever since they came overseas. They were always with each other. Now, one by one. First was Ty and now Malty wanted to leave.

"It's not forever" Malty added. "I'll be back to catch up"

"You know, we'll miss you." Stated Leeza.

"You, too" Malty said and hugged her two best friends. "Just don't tell him."
