A Friendship Gone Sour

Two days later…

"ALL YOU EVER THINK ABOUT IS YOURSELF" a very angry Malty screamed at her friend. Nathaniel was holding her back from throwing a punch at Tyiona.

"I'm sorry!" Tyiona apologized, nothing she could say will change what happened. "I didn't know!" She had tried explaining the situation but Malty wouldn't hear of it, she was fine before she saw Ty.

"You are a selfish bitch!" Malty stated crudely. "Always have been and always will be!" Nathaniel dragged his girlfriend away to the kitchen before a physical fight was to happen.

Jack was there too, on the side out of sight not coming to her defense.

Tyiona came to the Mercer household to say goodbye to Matty and was unprepared for Malty and Nathaniel's presence. They were there visiting Jack, was the only good explanation. She stood there ashamed of herself and collected all the things Malty had pointed out. It added to reasons making it easier to leave.

…

Matthew and his mum sat outside on the steps, Tyiona had to tell her son even if it were in a cruel presentation. "You know I have to break my promise" She told him. "I've done a lot of bad things, Matthew. I hope in the end you will forgive me and understand why I'm leaving. You're a big boy now, getting bigger everyday."

"You don't love me anymore?" Matthew asked blankly.

"No, of course I do" She assured him. "This is the best place for you to stay, with your father and uncles. They will take great care of you. I keep making promises I can't keep and I don't want to disappoint you."

Matthew didn't say anything in return, he stood up, opened the door and slammed it behind. "Matty!!" Tyiona called out but didn't go after him, she felt it was best to leave it alone. She sat there thinking about everything, she hurt the people she cared about and the decisions she made resulting to this. The Mercers including Matthew didn't know who she was anymore, even she didn't. What else was there left to do.

Tyiona walked back inside heading to Jack's room knowing he would be there. She peeked into his room and she was right. He was lying on his bed, strumming a few chords on his guitar. "Hey…" she said softly.

"Hey…" Jack greeted in a hoarse voice, his eyes were red.

"I-uhh came to say goodbye" Ty said, not receiving a reaction back from Jack the way she expected, it was understandable. "I've taken care of everything else and hopefully they believe it and leave you guys alone." Still no such reactions from Jack, he looked like he was deep in space. "My flight leaves tonight so uhh… bye?"

"Bye" Jack farewell bluntly, still lying on his bed making it look like he wasn't paying any attention to her. But he was. Tyiona nodded to herself in utter disappointment and turned around to leave. She headed downstairs hoping not to bump into anyone who was in the household, but as she came to the very few last steps of the staircase there stood Bobby in front of the doorway, standing in the Bobby sorta way. (Bobby's lecturing posture!! Lol)

'Great' Tyiona thought. 'This should be fun.'

"You're just gonna leave your family behind?" Bobby questioned, she felt his eyes were set upon her. She hated it when Bobby grilled her with his questions.

"I don't have a family" she said boldly. "This is not a family."

"Are you fucking serious?" Bobby asked sarcastically. "Fairy is too god damn proud to say anything but one thing I know he doesn't want you to fucken leave. Especially to the other side of the country."

"He doesn't say anything because he's afraid he's gonna say something he's gonna regret, by asking me to stay." Tyiona stated her own perception. "We were young and careless back then and we're different people now. I regret having to put this on him, on you guys."

"Bullshit Ty!" Bobby exclaimed. "No matter how hard you try to explain it. It doesn't change the fact that you're leaving your son behind. All four of us were left by our parents, look how we turned out. We were lucky to have Evelyn-"

"And Matthew is lucky to have you guys" She felt like she had won the argument.

"Let her go, Bobby" someone stepped into the conversation. "It's what she does best."

"You know what?!" Tyiona had enough of this. "Why don't you just shut your fucking mouth?! You've had your beef with me and I don't wana hear any more from you!!"

Malty was trying to think of something to say back quickly.

"It's what I do best?" Tyiona continued ranting. "You were the one who left without telling your "supposed" love of your life. I don't give a fuck how much time you've lost with him. You're not pissed of at what I did, you're just taking this as a chance of finally giving it to me, aren't cha? You've always been jealous, always craving for attention. You always wanted a guy to chase after you and wow I'm fucking surprised Nate did! Congrats on your fucken fairytale. I did what I did to protect my son and I done my job which resulted in me losing everything else. Don't try to be better than me, to try to compete with me. GO.FUCK.YOUR.SELF!" She rashly yelled she was about to punch on with Malty but Bobby had his arms around her waist, restraining her.

"You know I've never seen this side of you before" Bobby told her excitedly. "I like it."

Jack, not looking happy, came downstairs enough to hear everything that happened, especially Bobby's comment. He cleared his throat as he stepped in the middle of the whole dividing Malty, Nathaniel on one side and Bobby and Tyiona on the other. "Everyone, calm down!" He ordered. "Nathan, get her outta here now!" Nathan forced Malty out of the house, her been defeated. "And you Bobby, get your hands off Ty!" He snapped looking at them both.

"Sorry little brother" Bobby said as he took his hands off of her waist. "I'll leave you guys to it and guys, please don't have hot make up sex in the hall." With that he winked at Jack and Tyiona and left them alone.

Tyiona blew a sigh of relief, her fingers tapping alongside her arm, expecting some sort of lecture or speech from Jack.

Jack stood there looking uneasy, he just ordered everybody and now he didn't know how to word his words to Ty. "You don't have to leave you know…" He finally blurted it out, there was more that he wanted to tell her but that's what only came out. "You haven't lost us."

"You don't get it do you?" Tyiona asked. "I'm a cop, I can't be with you."

"Why not?!" exclaimed Jack.

"Because been a cop, I can do things…" She said. "and get away with it. I can't protect you guys from anymore investigations, Jack."

"There won't be anymore investigations because we're not going to do anything else" Jack pleaded. "Sweet was just the last thing on all our list. What do you mean get away? What have you done?"

"I killed Lana" Tyiona confessed evilly.

From the writer;

Dun Dun dun!!! Surprised?

I think this is the second or third last chapter… maybe two more chapters and an epilogue?

What do you guys think of this chapter? Any comments? How do you want Jack to react to the last confession? Did you like the fight? I don't know, give me something!!

Are you satisfied with Lana?
