Chapter 10
Two men falling apart
Author's note- This chapter is pretty short but like Jimmy Jacobs it packs a punch so review please.
Jeremy Borash in the middle of the ring with a microphone in hand. "The following contest is you main event for the evening. CM Punk's music starts to play. "Introducing first from Chicago Illinois they are "The Second City Saints" CM Punk, Colt Cabana, and Ace Steel! And there partner from American Samoa by way of Hunting Beach California he is the "Samoan Submission Machine!" Samoa Joe!" JB announced as Joe and the Saints come to the ring.
Jake's music starts to play. "And now introducing there opponents first from the city of…" Borash is interrupted by Jake, AJ, Steve, and Christopher coming throw the crowd to get the jump. Steve is trading blows with Joe. Chris is fighting with Colt. AJ is brawling on the floor Ace. Jake meanwhile has Punk corned and is punching like a mad man.
"We knew it was just way too personal to be a wrestling match," Don West says. "And good call by Rudy Charles to let it go," Mike Tenay says. Punk some how gets out of the ring and heads for the crowd with Jake chasing after him. Joe hits an eziguri knocking Steve down and than hits a back splash senton. Christopher hits Colt with the blue thunder powerbomb he than hits a suicide dive to take out Ace.
Out in the crowd Punk picks up a chair and hits Jake with it. Jake goes down. Punk pulls the face guard off of Jake. He than walks off to get something. "What is Punk doing?" Mike asks. Punk comes back with a tray of beer he must of stole from a beer guy. "He wouldn't," Don says. Don gets his answer when Punk pours the entire tray on Jake to top it off he takes a beer from a fan and pours that on Jake. Don and Mike are speechless.
Jake gets up and has a blank look on his face. He gets up a walks to the back. AJ approaches him. "Jake…" AJ stammers out seeing him. Jake just keeps walking away. Everyone has stopped fighting. Jake disappears behind the curtain. The main event was called a no contest.
Jake walked out of the shower in the locker room. He was surprised to there was only one person in there. It was Traci. "Where's Brian?" Jake asks. "With AJ," Traci says handing him a fresh set of clothes. "Thanks," Jake says. "You want to talk about it," Traci says. "I have seen a lot of low down shit in my life. But where hell does that SOB get off. I'm an alcoholic! And he pours beer down my throat!" Jake yells.
Traci is shocked to see a small tear roll down Jake's face. Traci pulls him into a hug. "I tried so hard for so long to stop. I don't how many times I would say "that's it no more. A few times I even was sober for a while but than something would happen and I would start to drink or do drugs again," Jake says. "But those are over. You haven't had a drink or a hit since before you can to TNA," Traci says.
"I know but there is always this small part of me that is afraid that I might slip and hurt you or Brian," Jake says. "Jake you won't slip because you won't let yourself again and because I won't and AJ won't," Traci says. But Jake still isn't sure.
Punk, Ace, and Colt were in Punk's hotel room. "Can you believe they called the match off? They screwed us out that win," Punk says not even giving second to what he has done. "I can't deal with this stuff anymore," Colt says standing up. "What does that mean?" Punk asks.
"It means Phil you crossed the line tonight. Go see a shrink because trust me you need it. Until than lose my number," Colt says leaving. Ace stands as well. "What you're leaving to?" Punk asks. "Yeah, call me when you're the guy I trained and not some nutcase," Ace says. Punk angrily starts to trash the room.
