Leelan Jacobs this chapter is for you. Thank you VERY much for your reviews, also for being supportive of the story. And thank you for your ideas on what Christy could say back to Matt.

Here is a list of song that also helped me get mood for this chapter.

"Lies" – Evanescence, "If I Can't Have You"- Kelly Clarkson, "Take It To The Limit"- Hinder.

She just kept looking at me, I wanted to jump up and shack her a little to get her to say something to me. Why wasn't she talking? Had I really scared her? Had I lost my chance? It seemed I finally grew a pair, but lost my chance at getting to know this girl that seemed to be imprinted into my brain.

"I am sorry I should have never said anything" I told her getting up to walk out of the room. When I was at the door I felt her hand on my arm. When I turned to look at her I still couldn't tell what she was thinking.

"Matt your heart knows what it wants, age is only a number. I understand that I am younger then you by quite a few years, but I am legally an adult in the laws eyes. But why didn't you tell me this before? Every time that we have been around one another you have been completely antagonistic toward me. I couldn't understand what I had done wrong to you. Why didn't you say something about the way you felt toward me sooner; it could have saved a lot of trouble, fights, and me feeling like shit." She asked him.

"You were young, so much younger than me. Damn Christy you are still in high school, what would people think knowing I was dating a high school student? I acted like an ass toward you because I wanted you and in my mind couldn't have you. I couldn't tell you for the same reason, hell even Jeff has asked me why I acted the way I did; I couldn't tell him either. I still don't think that we should be together… better yet I know we can't be together. I just felt that you needed to know"

"Why the hell tell me then Matt if we can't act on the feelings we share for one another?" she asked him.

She sat there looking at him; he knew she wanted an answer. He couldn't give the one that she wanted. Wait what did she mean by acting on feelings that had on one another, the thought of her actual returning his feelings made his heart sore. The only thing he truly wanted to do was grab her and kiss her like it was the end of the world.

"Are you going to stand there looking at me like someone killed your dog or what Matt?"

"I am sorry I should have never said anything. I am so very sorry but we can't act on feelings we have for one another." He reached out to wipe away the tear the slipped down her cheek but she slapped his hand away. He felt his heart drop to the bottom of his stomach. He yet again ruined something that could have been good. Not good but great, he had sat back and watched Christy the girl had a heart of gold in his eyes.

"Just get out Matt! When you decided to grow up and stop caring what other people think; maybe then something can happen. I do mean maybe I don't know if I can be with you after this if you ever decide to grow a pair."

"Christy…"

"No! Don't Matt you don't tell someone that you care about then and want to be with them. Then you turn around and say I am sorry but it can't happen. Bite the big one and get OUT!"

"Kind of hard to get out Christy when this is my house!" he yelled at her. He was trying to be fair and consider her feelings but she was starting to get under his skin.

"Fine" she told him. He watched her get her stuff together that she somehow already thrown around the room.

He was at a loss at what to do, he couldn't let her leave and stay home alone. He couldn't call Jeff and Beth because… well because Beth would take away any chance of him have children, and Jeff would sit back and let her. The loved the girl like she was their little sister and would cause some serious bodily harm to anyone that hurt her. Julie and Shannon wouldn't be far behind Beth and Jeff. To say the least he was royally fucked!

"Christy you can't leave, listen I am sorry" he tried.

He knew by the look she gave him he was going to be lucky if she didn't cause him some serious bodily harm. One minute this girl could make his blood boil in anger and the next it boiled in wanting her.

"What are you going to do Mattie tie me down till Beth and Jeff get here?" she sneered at him turning away from him.

He did the only thing that came to his head. He walked across the room and grabbed her turned her around. When he looked into her eyes he could feel himself instantly getting turned on; her anger made her even more beautiful to him. Before she could do anything else he kissed her. It was a kiss that neither one of them would be able to forget for a long time.

He broke away from the kiss letting both of them catch their breath from the mind blowing kiss they shared. He couldn't help it when she looked up him with a flushed face and half-lidded eyes, she was beyond the meaning of sexy. He bent down and kissed her again, she gasped letting him discover more of her sweet mouth.

He bent down picked her up and backed her into the wall behind her while she wrapped her legs around his waist. The only thing he could think about was how this girl was going to do nothing but get him into trouble, but he was damned if he was going to care. He wanted her and he was going to have her; everyone else could go straight to hell.

"What in the fuck do you think you are doing!"

He dropped Christy back on her feet putting her behind his back while facing the one person he didn't want to. He looked at a pissed off and red faced Jeff and Shannon with a shit eating grin on his face.

"About damn time!" Shannon told them.

He was afraid of shit hitting the fan, and it seemed it was going to start with his own brother. Did he mention before that Jeff was very protective of her.

So there it is guys 1088 words of nothing but story.

Like I said Leelan Jacobs gave me ideas on what Christy could say to Matt and here are the two I used in my own words. Got to give credit where credit is due because I couldn't have gotten the rest of the chapter written.

"Every time that I have seen you since then you have been completly
antaganistic to me. I thought that I had done something wrong or something.
Why didn't you just tell me? We could have both felt alot better."

The heart wants what it wants, Matthew. It doesn't know numbers. Yes, I AM
younger than you, but I'm also legally an adult. Did it never cross your mind
that, maybe mine was telling me that it wanted you too."
