Between Love

Jerry sat down on the seat in the kitchen room of his house, in front of Angel discussing about the night's event. "I can't believe it though, Angel" Jerry said, concerned. "Somehow it doesn't make sense." Been the thinker of the family, he occasionally over-analyzed things. Thoroughly.

"It makes sense to me" Angel said, not knowing why his brother didn't understand.

Jerry shook his head. "It's coz you're a dope!" He insulted, Angel just didn't understand him. "If Jack meant so much to her, why didn't she at least tell him about it? Jack's great at keeping secrets." Referring on how well his kept his past hidden. "I am happy she's not dead but the pretentious of it." Jerry added. "Jack and Lana are gonna go through a hard time."

"It's up to our little brother now." Angel said.

…

Bobby goes home, thinking he was home alone, finds Sofi there waiting for Angel to get back from Jerry's. They have their usual spat and suddenly they kissed. It was bound to happen!

…

Matthew was soon fast asleep in the bedroom while Jack and Tyiona were in the living room drinking beers this time. Tyiona sat there obviously to him that she was drunk, her face all red, smiling like an idiot and can't keep still. He had a gulp of his beer and froth appeared on top of his lip, she gushed. This was all too familiar to her and she couldn't help but laugh hysterically. As she went closer, she asked him. "Do you remember the first time we met?" Jack nodded sheepishly. "Part of it happened like this" She placed her hand on his face, using her thumb to wipe off the froth, kissing him sweetly after.

When they pulled away from the kiss, Jack had a smirk on his face and stated. "I don't remember that part." Tyiona lightly hit him.

"You're a dick" She commented and poked her tongue out at him. The moment was as interrupted by Tyiona's cell phone, ringing. "Hello?" She answered the phone as she tried to stay still and quickly her face expression changed. She gave him an apologetic smile, getting up from where she was and headed outside to the balcony, sliding the door closed only slighty.

Jack found her behavior odd. He knew it had been just a year and things had changed but this made him curious. He stayed where he was and waited for her to come back inside.

Jack 'overheard' Tyiona saying, "I can't talk about this right now!" She turned around to look overhead the view, adjusting her voice volume down hoping Jack wouldn't hear the conversation. "I understand" Tyiona complied. "Look! I was supposed to be dead. They can't just adjust from that quickly, do you understand that? I need more time I can't push it, they will get suspicious. What the fuck do you think will happen if they fin---" She paused because she had been cut off by the person from the other line. "Yes, okay… Look, I gotta go. I'm with Jack. You'll hear from me." The conversation was over and Tyiona was hesitant to go back in. What a mood breaker.

She had to go back in, otherwise Jack will be suspicious of her. "The view outside is nice." Tyiona told Jack.

"The view I have here is nice too." Jack said looking at her, pulling her closer to him on the couch. "Even better."

"You always know what to say best" Tyiona teased. Her head rested on his shoulder, her hands playing, twirling on his right palm. Touching, feeling his skin.

"So who was that?" Jack asked casually as he stared straight at the television.

"O-hh" Tyiona stuttered. "It was nothing. Nothing to worry about." She hated lying to him but she had to.

"It didn't seem like it from here" Jack told her. She turned around and looked at him, not knowing what parts of the conversation he heard. "Ty, no more secrets please" He put his arms around her and pulled her closer. "So who was it?" He asked her once again, staring at her wondering why she wasn't been upfront. He knew something was up, otherwise she would have told him already.

"What happened to Sweet?" Tyiona asked trying to change the subject.

Jack continued staring at her. "He's been fixed. Why you ask?"

"Curious" Tyiona said and changed her tone. "The father of my child nearly died because of that bastard. I think I have the right to ask."

Jack smirked and started tickling her. "Argggh!"Tyiona yelled out, trying to keep herself from laughing. "Stop it!" He lunged at her making her fall back on the couch, he went on top of her and went closer for a kiss. She pushed him away and asked her question again, seriously. "What happened to Sweet?" Pushing into the subject.

Jack sighed. "You spoiled the moment" He adjusted himself on the couch. "Let's just say, he's under a nice thick layer of cool ice."

She looked at him horrified. "Who?"

"Bobby." Jack said comforting her and joked. "Don't give that look, he tried to kill me and he killed Ma. He got what he deserved."

"You guys shouldn't complicated things" Tyiona announced. "Should of let the cops deal with it. Would you rather he be dead or rot in jail getting made himself?"

"Dead." Jack stated, he was becoming cold towards her. "He killed our mother and he should burn in hell. Sweet had his connections and you know half of the fucken pigs are crooked. Look what happened to Green."

She didn't have anything to say to that but added, "Not all of them are bad, Jackie. What happened to Green and your mother was unfortunate and I agree that it shouldn't have happened. You have to take it in consideration that you and your brothers can't deal with the la, yourselves. Jackie, there are consequences." She looked at him and definitely knew how he was feeling, he was angry at her and he showed it. "Not all cops are like Green, they won't let it go easily. You say Sweet owns the uniforms, so what about them? You think they don't know who did it?"

Jack knew she was right but he just shrugged it off, didn't want to care it was over and done with. But Tyiona wouldn't let it go. "All four of you have a past." She said as a matter-of-factly. "They know about it. Every single thing you've done. I want. I need you to be careful, Jack. Matthew needs you and we have to provide a safe environment for him and I can't have any surprise retaliations." Jack continued to be silent, so she went on to a different subject. "Speaking of which, what's happening with you and Lana?" She got up from where she was sitting, headed towards the mini bar and took out a Jack Daniels bottle.

Jack was caught off guard, he hadn't really thought about Lana since Tyiona was back. Alive. "I don't know… I'm… I'm still with her" Jack said carefully, not wanting to hurt her feelings. He took in consideration that he has been with Lana for the past year, she had been good to him and he didn't want to jeopardize anything… at the moment.

However he said it, it still hurt her inside she felt ripped apart. She was trying to hide her feelings from him, she was sick of things coming between them and now this would be another problem. She poured a right amount of Jack Daniels into a fresh cup of Coke, sipping from it. She stared into her drink and was lost in her thoughts. "I understand" Tyiona finally said, with a forceful smile. She skulled the rest of her drink and told him her decision. "There's no need to choose." Jack looked at her, not knowing what to say. "I've officially given up on us. Its okay, I'm fine. I want you to be happy and it's obvious that she's doing a good job of it. She's been with you longer than we have together."

He still didn't know what to say, but he knew that he was hurting inside. "Ty" Jack said in an apologetic tone, as he stood up and got closer, wanting to console her.

"You should leave" Tyiona said harshly, wiping her tears away quickly before he had a chance to notice them. "Before anything happens that we'll regret later."

Jack was getting angrier, why couldn't she see it from his point of view. She was stressing him out and he had enough of this. Before he left he said to her, "I was hoping to get a fuck outta you" Tyiona was appalled and shocked, she slammed the door in his face.

…

"Father," Lana spoke on the phone. "Can you just please find out everything about her as soon as possible? He is not trash, father. I love him and I will not lose him to her. Not it's not a matter of pride. I love him…." She paused listening to his answer. "Okay, thankyou. I love you too."

"You are not getting Jack." Lana spoke to herself, referring to Tyiona. "I'm going to ruin you." An evil smile appeared on her face.

…

She sat outside on the balcony, having more drinks than ever. She was alone and wanted not to feel what she was feeling at that moment.

There was a knock on the door, she heard it and thought it was Jack. She stuck her head inside and yelled, "I told you to leave! Go away!" But it kept knocking, she had to get it she didn't want Matthew to wake up even though she was yelling.

"It's me!" A voice yelled back. "It's Poppie!"

Tyiona stumbled as she struggled getting up from the chair. "Hold on!" Finally heading towards the door, opening it to reveal Poppie looking teary-eyed. "Hey, what's wrong?" Tyiona asked her friend.

"Bobby" Poppie stated as she walked into the room.

"Let's go outside on the balcony and talk" Tyiona instructed her. "Wait. Did you say Bobby?" Her friend nodded. "Oh man we have a lot to catch up on."

Younghopelessgirl; jen I know how you feel, I think we all want to be with Garrett. Man, when will they make those cloning thing legal? We all can have a Garrett for ourselves :)

SarcasticRockinLC; LOL! wasn't it a pancake/strawberry with cream - Lana just wants her man. :( but I do agree drama is fun but tragedy is better!
