Jeff and Randy were heading to the entrance where Jeff would enter to be a guest on Edge's Cutting Edge. A smile was on Jeff's face as he double checked his title to make sure it wasn't going to fall off.
"Here let me baby." Randy went behind his husband and redid the strap.
When he was done, Randy moved some of Jeff's hair to start putting kisses on the smaller's neck. This made Jeff leaned back into his husband with eyes closed from enjoying the kisses.
"Baby your music is playing." Randy informed and Jeff quickly went out.
Once he got out there, he did his usual performance while Randy watched from the monitor. Standing with him was R-Truth who was good friends with Jeff and was proud for him. When Randy saw Jeff be hit by the pyrotechnics, he froze as they continued to hit his husband who was trying to get away. Then Jeff was laying on the ramp with his hands to his face as a tech guy ran over to check on him.
"Truth go get the medics." Randy ordered as he ran out to be with his husband.
Randy went right to his side and kneeled down to touch his husband's arm to feel him shaking. Slowly Randy ran his hand up and down his husband's side to try comforting him.
"The medics will be here soon baby." Randy whispered as he looked up to see if the medics were there yet.
"What happened?" Shane Helms asked as he came running out to his friend's side.
"Pyro went at him." Randy informed as he saw a medic come over with gloves on.
"Jeff I need to see your face." the medic told him for the champ to not obey.
"Baby please let him see."
"He's in too much pain." Shane realized as he patted his friend's back.
"There's the rest of the medics. Shane go help them while I stay with Jeff." Randy instructed as he moved behind his husband to rub his back.
He looked up to see Matt come running out with fear and worry on his face. He kneeled down by his brother's head to lay a hand on his hair while glancing at Randy.
"Pyro caught him in the face."
"How is that possible? Jeff always knows where to stand when his pyro goes off." Matt was in shock.
"It looked like it messed up and went at him." Randy answered as he heard the medics set a gurney down.
"I got you the medics Randy. How bad did Jeff break his leg?" R-Truth asked to be smacked by Punk who actually wasn't there. "Man it must be a reflex now since he's always doing that to me."
"Truth not now." Shane told him.
They all started to get Jeff on a stretcher and Randy looked up to see Vickie come out and stand by the entrance. Soon Edge went over to her and the two ex tag partners caught each other's eyes. Randy knew that Edge couldn't break character and he could tell that he was worried. A nod was given to Edge as Randy turned to see Jeff being set on a gurney and he walked with it as they pushed Jeff towards the entrance. Once backstage, they could see others waiting to catch a glimpse of Jeff who still refused to move his hands from his face. They took Jeff to the medics' room and that was when Jeff finally removed his hands to show small red marks on his face.
"They don't look that bad." a medic said as he continued to look at them. "Now Jeff I need you to open your eyes for me."
After giving a small nod, Jeff opened his eyes to show that they were red and Randy squeezed his hand gently. Slowly the medics began to take care of Jeff and he was given something to help the burns.
"Hey is Jeff okay?" Adam asked as he walked into the room.
"Yeah. He only has a few burns on his face." Randy answered as Edge took his arm to pull him to the side out of Jeff's hearing.
"Who is doing this? I mean hasn't Jeff gone through enough with the attack in the stairwell, then his car accident where it hit first on his side. Now this pyro accident happening. Something really isn't right with this and it all makes me wonder something else." Adam explained to see Randy knew where he was going.
"That maybe the fire wasn't an accident. I really hope that it was cause Jeff doesn't need to be worried about that." Randy said.
"I know. This feud is supposed to be for fun, but Randy I have a really bad feeling about our match. I want you to stay right at the entrance incase my bad feeling is right. Whoever is doing this might need to be chased away before they permanently hurt Jeff. Me and him will both be fighting as hard we could for the title and you might be the only one not too worn out."
"I understand and thank you for warning me." Randy patted him on the shoulder.
"No problem."
"Can you help us get his title off so he can be more comfortable?" Randy asked him and got a nod.
Together Randy, Adam, and Matt got the title off and Randy set it on his shoulder. He then took one of Jeff's hands to run his thumb over it with a sigh at what had happened. Soon Jeff opened his eyes to look at them and Randy gave him a smile.
"Do I look good with your title or maybe Adam here does?" Randy asked and set it on Adam's shoulder who laughed. "Or maybe your big brother?"
Matt set his hand on the title with a frown on his face before Randy put it back on his own shoulder. He then saw his brother nod at the question of it looking good on the older Hardy's shoulder.
"I want to see it on Matt one day." Jeff said.
"Vickie told me to let you know if you need any time off after this just let me know and I'll inform her. You won't lose your title either if you take time off." Adam told his friend who nodded. "She's also checking out the pyrotechnics to figure out what went wrong."
"Well Truth had a strange thing happen to him. He forgot why he went to get the medics and thought Jeff broke his leg." Matt informed to see his brother laugh. "Then he reacted as if Phil was there to smack him for it."
"Can't wait to tell Phil." Jeff said as he moved to get up.
"Baby you need to stay still." Randy put his hands on his husband's chest.
"I just want to go back to the hotel." Jeff informed and kept trying to get up.
"I'll go ask a medic if you can take him back to the hotel." Adam left and came back a couple minutes later. "They said you can, but he has to rest. Also to keep an eye on his burns."
"Okay." Randy said before picking his husband up.
"Want us to go with you to the hotel?" Adam asked and Randy gave a nod.
Too much has been happening to Jeff lately and Randy didn't want anymore. Having the others there might be a good way to keep Jeff safe. They all made their way out to the back parking lot to their cars before heading to the hotel.
