Disclaimer: Yes, I know Evan Bourne's real first name is Matt….but it's confusing enough with two Adams mentioned in this story…so…just deal with it. X_x;

Also, I do not own, nor do I have any connection with the Superstars of the WWE or the WWE in general. I'm just a normal, twisted, teenage fan girl. :D

Chapter ONE

"Hello?"

His eyes slowly fluttered open and instantly locked onto the light peering out the hotel bathroom.

"Oh! Hey! …Eh, not much. Just got out of the shower. …Well, someone's got a dirty mind. John?"

John's head shot up from the pillow at the mention of his name.

"…Yeah, no. He's asleep. Hm? Yeah, I can get out. Where you at? Bar on the corner of 11th and 10th Ave.? Alright, see you then. Peace."

"Not again…" he whispered, squeezing his eyes shut, "This isn't happening…"

"Is it just me, or is John acting different?" Evan whispered, looking at his friend on the other side of the locker room.

Kofi raised an eyebrow.

"Like…he's acting weird. He's being really quiet and stuff…"

Phil sighed and leaned against his boyfriend, "Y'know why that is…"

Evan just looked at his long time ROH friend.

"I don't t'ink he knows. Care 'ta tell'im, Phil?" Kofi said, gently wrapping his arms around Phil's waist.

The Hardcore-Straight Edge superstar looked over at the oldest member of their little group, "Matt, wanna do the honors?"

The Southerner nodded slowly, "Adam's been callin' him since he found out where we're tourin'…"

"Whoa…I didn't know he was back… Whoa! Hold it! What does Adam have to do with John being depressed?!" Evan's eyes shot open, "Isn't he with Jeff?!"

"Shhh!" The group hushed him, earning the attention of John for a second.

"Not Adam Copeland…Adam Birch…his old tag-team partner, Joey Mercury," Matt corrected himself.

"What's he got to do with John being like this?"

Matt and Phil looked at each other, answering in unison; "Everything."

"He do something to John or like….what?" Evan curiously asked.

The two shuddered.

"You don't even wanna know…"
