Adam was in to visit Jeff almost every day that week. Jay had to leave in the middle of the week because he was set to make his return to the WWE on the PPV in a match to determine the Number One Contender for either the United States Title or the Intercontinental Title. Adam had been sad about his boyfriend's untimely departure, but Jay eventually convinced him that Jeff needed him more. So Adam stayed by Jeff's bedside.

It was halfway into the second week when Bobby couldn't visit as often either. As much as he hated it, he was still the World Champion and TNA had wrapped up their tour in London. They left for the states and left Jeff behind. Adam promised that he would keep in touch with Dixie Carter and let her know about Jeff's condition. The motherly woman truly cared about the high-flyer and that warmed Adam's heart. He texted her daily.

Adam also kept in contact with Shannon, who was anxious to know about his best friend's welfare. He had been taken out of the equation before he could see what had happened to Jeff and he was extremely worried about him. Adam called him every three hours or so, just to keep him updated. Jeff had been stable ever since his operation and Adam really hoped that it would stay that way.

Adam turned his attention to the television. TNA was just about to air. Bobby Roode had a match against 'The Phenomenal' AJ Styles. That should be interesting. Bobby and AJ had had quite the feud earlier in the year. It had ended when Bobby had beaten AJ in an Iron Man match and almost broke his knee. But the feud never really ended. AJ was still sore over the loss and Adam didn't blame him.

Just then, Adam's phone vibrated on Jeff's hospital bed. I have my match next. I just wanted to see if there have been any changes with Jeff. Is he still stable?

Adam smiled a bit. He knew that Bobby was truly worried about his fiancé. Jeff is fine. He has been stable since you last checked in. He still hasn't woken up, but doctors are still hopeful.

A few minutes of silence passed as Adam waited patiently. When he wakes up, tell him that I love him. And I want to hear about it immediately, okay?

Adam texted him back. Okay.

Adam set the phone aside and watched as Bobby's music hit. The Champ came down the ramp to the customary boos, but he had a look of relative calm on his face. He didn't scream at the fans like he normally did. He didn't throw a fit. All he did was climb into the ring and wait for AJ, who came down to a huge pop. Bobby scowled a little bit at that, but he tried his best to not react to the crowd. Adam knew that this was for Jeff.

Slowly, Adam turned to look at his best friend. "You have to come out of this soon, Jeff. Bobby needs you. I need you. Your fans need you. Don't let those bastards win, Jeff. Please."


Jeff awoke a week later. He was extremely weak and dazed. The first person that he saw was Adam, who was knocked out in the chair at his bedside. "A-Adam…" Jeff croaked.

Adam nearly leaped out of his skin. "Holy shit! What the hell?" He mumbled to himself. And then, he turned to Jeff. Quickly, the startled look melted into a look of excitement. "Jeff! You're awake!"

Jeff winced. "Not so loud, blondie! I have a horrible headache."

Adam frowned and was at Jeff's bedside immediately. "I'm sorry, Jeff. I didn't mean to make your headache worse."

"No, it's okay Adam." Jeff mumbled. "What happened to me? Why am I in the hospital?" Jeff asked him. "And why do I feel like a truck ran over me?"

Adam went on to explain that Jeff had been attacked in a bar brawl while he was out with Shannon and that the two of them had been severely injured. He went on to tell him that Jeff had suffered a severe concussion, a hole in his lung, and several broken ribs. He left out the bit about Bobby for now, just because he wanted to know how Jeff felt about the brunette 'It Factor' before he told him that Bobby had actually been the one to find him.

Jeff nodded and swallowed hard. His mouth was incredibly dry. Adam noticed this and took the fresh water that the nurse had brought in earlier and stuck the straw in Jeff's mouth. He drank a few mouthfuls, before he put the cup on the table and rolled it aside so he could move closer to his best friend. They talked for a little while more, but eventually, they came to an uncomfortable topic. That topic was Bobby Roode.

"Does Bobby know that I was in an accident?" Jeff asked slowly. His voice sounded a little bit better now that he had had the water. "Does he even care?"

Adam nodded. "I was the one who called him to tell him. And of course he cares that you were in an accident! He was worried sick. He was actually the one who found you."

Jeff's eyes widened. "He went out to look for me?"

"I was still in Canada. There was no way that I could make it here in time to save your life, Jeff."

"No, it's not that. It's just… I can't believe that he would care so much after the fight that we had." Jeff said.

Adam took his hand. "Of course he still cares about you, Jeff. Jay and I have fights, but that doesn't mean that he wouldn't come to my defense if I needed him too. That's what you do when you love someone."

Jeff shook his head and looked away. "No. From the way that he talked to me, he made it rather clear that he doesn't love me. He doesn't care about anyone other than himself."

Adam sighed as he leaned back into his chair. He was worried about Jeff, but he was unsure about how to convince Jeff that Bobby's intentions were totally innocent. Adam was assured that Bobby still loved Jeff, so why couldn't the rainbow-haired man see that? Why did he insist on being so stubborn? It had really started to get on his nerves. His phone vibrated on the bed. Both knew who it was.

Adam took the phone and opened the text. How is Jeff today?

Adam's hazel eyes flickered up to Jeff. "What should I tell him?"
