Note: Sorry it took me so long to update guys. I've just been really busy with work and everything. But this is the last chapter for this part of the story. I hope to start the second part next week. Hopefully Monday or Tuesday.

"Are you done already?" Matt asked, baffled that his brother had just been upstairs for five minutes and was already in the kitchen.

"No. I was stupid. Cant go back up there." Jeff said, causing a confusing look to appear on Matt's face as he tried to make sense of his brother's words.

"Zack hold on a second. Jeff come with me." Matt led his brother out onto the porch.

"Tell me what happened." Matt demanded as he watched his brother sigh.

"We were talking. Then I kissed her. She asked me why, I told her I didn't know. So I kissed her again. It was amazing Matt, she sent sparks running through me." Jeff said and watched as a huge smile appeared on his brother's face.

"You like her." Matt said and watched as a flicker of anger appeared in his brother's eyes.

"Jeff you've already lost twice. Why would you want to try again?" Matt asked as he got ready for his brother to attack him.

"I'm not going to try to attack you Matt. I just cant believe that for once you're right." Jeff sighed as he rested up against the railing.

"Jeff, I know you still have a lot of feelings for Beth. But you cant let this girl get away from you. She may be the best thing that has happened to you since Beth left." Matt stated as he laid a hand on his brother's shoulder.

"I know Matt, but that whole fact scares the shit out of me. I don't know what I should do or say to her." Jeff said as he sat up on the railing of the porch and hung his head.

"You may be scared Jeff, but you have to do something. You can't just sit back and watch her leave. If you do you're going to regret it for the rest of your life, and I'm not going to watch you mope around the house for another fifty years unhappy with yourself." Matt said and smiled a little at his brother.

"You're such a dick." Jeff said as he grabbed Matt in a headlock from where he was sitting.

"Jeff what about all the other times you've lost? Do you really want to add another one to your ever growing list?" Matt asked his brother as he wrapped his arms around Jeff's waist and pulled him off the railing and slammed him onto the porch.

Matt wormed his way out of the headlock Jeff had on him and tried to get him into a figure four leg lock. Jeff kicked Matt, avoiding the leg lock and brought him back down to the floor. Jeff jumped on his brother and started to put him into the sharp shooter. As Jeff got the submission move on him they heard the sliding glass door open. Both brothers turned their attention towards the door to see Erin standing there, a bag over her shoulder and Zack's hand in hers.

"I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm leaving." She said softly as she looked at Matt.

"Why?" Matt asked as he pushed Jeff off of him and walked over to Erin.

"I just don't think it would be good if I took this job after all. I can find some other place to work that will keep me away from Derek But thank you for all your help anyways." Erin said as she took Zack and headed towards the front door.

"Jeff stop her. It's because of you she's leaving. Let her know you want her to stay and she just might." Matt said as he grabbed a hold of Jeff and yanked his brother up to a standing position.

"Erin, wait!" Jeff called as he ran into the house and towards the front door. He saw Erin standing there, her back towards him.

"What is it Jeff?" She asked as she opened up the door.

"Wait for me outside Zack. I'll be out in a minute." She whispered to the small boy as she closed the door behind him.

"I don't want you to leave. I know what happened earlier probably freaked you out, but I like you Erin. I don't want to lose you without knowing what could happen between us." Jeff said as he got closer to her.

"Jeff, I can't stand to have my heart broken by another guy who just wants to be an asshole." Erin said as she looked up into his eyes.

"I'm not going to treat you like Derek did. I would never hit you." Jeff stated as he took a few steps closer to her.

"I don't mean physical abuse only Jeff. I don't want to get hurt in anyway. I'm sick of being hurt. I just want to find the one guy who's going to love me forever and would never dream of hurting me. That's all I want. If you aren't going to be that guy than stop wasting my time and let me leave." Erin said softly as she took a step towards him. Now there was only a small gap between their bodies.

"I don't know if I can be that guy Erin, but I would love for you to give me the chance because I sure as hell know I want to try." Jeff said as he grabbed her waist and pressed his lips against hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.

"I want to give you the chance Jeff. I'm going to give you the chance. But the first time you hurt me I'm going to leave and I'm not going to come back." Erin stated and she watched as Jeff just nodded before kissing her again.

"Zack." Erin called as she opened the front door.

"We're staying. I changed my mind." She watched as a small smile appeared on Zack's face and she smiled herself.

For once Erin knew she was making the right choice.

Jeff ran from her and back towards the porch.

"She's staying Matt." Jeff said as he hugged his brother.

"Not only that but I took your advice. She's now my girlfriend." Jeff smiled at his brother and Matt gave Jeff a pat on the back.

"Looks like we can all be one happy, dysfunctional, and close family." Matt spoke, a huge smile on his face.
