Disclaimer: If I seriously owned anything in this story, do you think I'd be writing it? Exactly. I own Charity Burns, her family members, and all the other OCs. Nothing else. Zip. Zero. Nothing. Nada. Notadamnthing. :) Kapeesh? :)

A/N: Heyy people. I truly apologize for the wait of this chapter. I've told some of you already, but I wanted it to be absolutely perfect. And I think it is. There might be a little bit of grammar errors so sorry though. And a warning too... alot of foul language in this one and some just sick ideas. I like it though and I think you guys will too. I really can't believe I'm almost finished with this story... makes me so sad. Well, thank you to all my readers and reviewers (y'all fuel me to continue!) the support is amazing. I'm gonna try to update before Thursday of this week. I'm aiming for Wednesday, so be on the lookout and enjoy the chapter! (And thank you to littlerascalash who continues to fuel ideas into my head without even knowing it. She's awesome! :D)


-Third Person POV-

"Hey, Brian Kendrick, right?" Evita says, talking to the fifth person she was about to invite for the 'meeting.' It was hard for her not to bust into an evil grin, after all, the ideas of what would be happening momentarily were just so exciting.

'The Brian Kendrick' smiles. "Yep; what can I do for ya?"

Evita smiles sweetly. "Well, I was just told by Vickie Guerrero that there will be a meeting to go over tonight's Smackdown/ECW taping in about fifteen minutes in the room by the gorilla. I'm just letting everyone know. Could you pass the world along, Brian?" Evita had the kind of sultry voice which made all the guys in a room drool. Kyle wasn't the only one with a wandering eye.

Brian nods, holding onto his character's jacket. "Sure, I'll tell who I see. Thanks for the information." With that, Brian walks away, his dirty blonde hair going along with him.

"Don't think I don't know what you're doing," a voice says while a shadow lurks in the corner behind Evita. She just scoffs, walking along. "Don't ignore me, Evita. Do you really want to see this happen to Matt and Shannon?" the person presses, voice a tiny bit more urgent.

She stops short, eyes narrowing by the minute. "Listen, leave me alone. I have work to do. Bitches pay and so do assholes," she says in an ultra bitchy tone herself. Her response doesn't make much sense to the person wallowing in the shadows, but he continues to follow her anyway.

"Come on, Evita. Think about what you're doing. You're not Adam's slave. These people haven't done anything to you and they don't deserve what's going to happen to them. Grow a backbone and stop telling people now," the person says voice full of anger.

Evita looks into the shadows, reaches out and grabs the person by the cuff of their t-shirt. "Listen you fucking asshole. Just because you've been here longer doesn't mean you can speak to me that way. I suggest you go find something to do since I don't think you'll wanna be at the meeting," Evita practically spits, stomping off in the direction of the Hardy Boyz.

Brian Myers rubs his neck, watching the ECW dominating diva strut down the hallway on her mission. How was he supposed to help them if no one wanted to listen? Damn hardheaded fools. The Long Island native sighs, very annoyed with many of his co-workers. He then turns and goes to look for Shannon Moore, thinking he could listen.

Brian finds Shannon sitting on a crate near the gorilla. "Hey man," Brian states casually. "You going to that meeting in a few?" He hopes that Evita hadn't worked her way to Shannon yet.

"Yep… that Evita chick told me a few minutes ago," he mutters softly, looking off into space.

Brian knows why Shannon is upset. It's very easy to tell that he's lovesick over the Hardy Boy's contest winner. Silly girl…. Why isn't she giving him a chance? Brian can't help but wonder. He has no idea what Shannon has done.

"You okay, man?" Brian asks, looking at the North Carolina native with concern, even though he knows already.

"Fine," mutters Shannon. "I'm gonna head over to the meeting, see you there." With that, Shannon takes off, leaving Brian alone.

"I don't know if I want to be there," he whispers his reply, and clasps his head into his hands. What a mess.

-Jeff's POV-

"Meeting?" I ask both Matt and Beth when I arrive back at the lockerroom. Matt nods, gathering his things around him. He'd changed into his ring attire while Charity and JI went to hair and make-up because his match was one of the first. "Who said?"

"Evita," Beth sneers, rolling her eyes. "Like the bitch she is. Told Matt and just rolled her eyes at me. Why did Vince ever hire her?"

"Because she can wrestle?" Matt murmurs his own response, looking around the room. "ECW like shit."

"I know," Beth groans, rolling her eyes. "It was a rhetorical question, Matt!"

Matt almost blushes and smiles at Charity. "You're gonna come, right?" He smiles at her for a moment, staring at the blue dress she is wearing. "Beautiful dress by the way."

Charity smiles softly, her 'I'm the shy girl that probably doesn't belong here and doesn't deserve to be with y'all right now' wall starting to go up by the looks of her face. "Thank you," she whispers.

"Anytime sugar." Matt replies very quickly, grabbing a water from his bag. "Ready to go?" We all nod, not wanting to go to the meeting. Meetings before the show are usually stupid full of shit we already are aware of because everything has to be perfect and if it isn't Vinnie Mac isn't happy.

We march in a solid line to the room where the meeting is going to be held. I see Brian Kendrick and Shannon talking—Shannon still looking like when we ran into him—and next to them, standing off to the corner is Brian Myers. I wonder what he is up to. Inside I can hear Adam and another voice, one I am not familiar with. The Evita girl stands off to the side between everyone, glaring at Brian. I wonder what's up with them.

"Hey guys," Matt says with a smile, waving at Brian (Kendrick) and Shannon. He almost seems a little nervous, but I push it off and join the conversation, just as Beth slips her hand into mine and smiles too. I think being around Shannon is making Charity nervous. I still don't know what went completely down between them at his house the other day and I'm not sure I want to know. But whatever happened it seems to be bothering Shannon a hell of a lot more. Maybe he does want to be with her. Idiot.

"Hey!" Brian (Kendrick) replies to Matt and then smiles at Charity. "And hello sweetie."

Charity turns into goo and pretty much melts to the floor right in front of us. I can hear Beth trying to stifle her laughter. Unlike Beth, I don't have much self-control. I do laugh and Beth hits me hard. "Um, ow," I state to her through gritted teeth.

"I love you too, honey," she says, cheesing wildly. Women.

"Does anyone know what the meeting is about?" Matt asks, looking around.

The Evita girl steps forward, smiling at me. I can almost feel Beth scowling beside me. "Just some important stuff that needs to be said." She turns directly to me. "So, Jeff, right?" I nod cautiously as Beth's hand tightens around my own. "Where exactly do you get your hair dye?"

She's trying to piss off Beth, I think. Charity notices too. "Uh… CVS?" I dunno.

"Oh," she states flatly and turns away. Alrighty then.

"Everyone come in!" the voice that I do not recognize yells and the ones waiting outside with us file inside. It's me, Matt, Beth, Charity, Shannon, Brian Kendrick, Brian Myers, Kenny Doane, Alvin Burke, Adam, the Kyle did (who I was assuming was the voice), and Evita.

"Where is Vickie?" "What's the meeting about?" "Where is everyone else?" Questions flood the room, as everyone looks around with confusion smeared on their faces. Behind me the Kyle did locks the door. "What is going on?" I demand.

Kyle smiles. "Shut your mouth, pothead."

Beth and Matt grab my arms instantly before I lunge onto the kid. Who the hell does he think he is? I'll fucking beat the shit out of him until he is blue in the face and is begging to be released. Don't fucking tempt me kid. I've been here a lot fucking longer than you have been.

"Asshole!" I bark.

Adam steps in front of me, smiling evilly. "I suggest you control yourself, Jeffrey." I fight the urge to spit on both of them and prompt him to continue. "You see, it wasn't Vickie that called the meeting today, it was me." He walks around the room, stopping in front of Charity. "Hello sweetie."

This time, Charity doesn't melt into goo on the floor. Her faces turns into a look of disgust. Adam simply smiles at this, and touches her face. I try to kick Matt to let him off me. Even though the look on his face is alarmed, watching as Adam caresses her cheek, he doesn't let go. Beth looks at me and says with her eyes 'what the hell is going on?'

"Someone tell me what the hell is going on!" Matt bellows, handing my arm to Kendrick and stopping in front of Adam. "Don't you fucking touch her again." His eyes are so protective I think I finally get it. I look to Alvin and mouth 'like?' and nod my head toward Matt. How could I have been so stupid? My own brother was all over Charity and I had yet to realize it.

Alvin nods back at me, equally confused.

Adam finally replies to Matt, "Matthew, calm down. I certainly don't want anything to do with a ring-rat, unlike you."

"She is NOT a ring-rat," Shannon spits from the side.

"Shut up!" Adam shrieks and turns back to Matt. "C'mon Matt, why don't you tell us why you're so protective of her? Everyone else can tell. It's so fucking obvious to us." His tone sickens me and I want to slap him so bad. Beside me, Beth's eyes narrow further and she turns to Evita. Evita knows too, her eyes say the same that Adam's do. And so does Kyle's. I look to Brian Myers and find his eyes raging… wait, he's not a part of this?

What does this kid know?

"What's obvious?" Matt says angrily and steps toward Adam once more. "What is so fucking obvious other than you're a fucking asshole?"

"Gee, I don't know," Adam taunts happily, his tone completely opposite Matt's. He turns to Shannon. "Hey, Shannon, why don't you tell Charity why you turned her down, huh? Care to give her a ring to why?"

Oh my God… he wouldn't. FUCKING ASSHOLE. This all seems like one big dream that has come true. Around me, everyone's faces are either confused, happy (Adam's little posse) or intently angry.

"Matt, why would you lie to your own best friend?" Adam says, laughing. "You act like you're not totally head over heels in love with Charity while you so fucking are and then you act like you care that Shannon's going through a fucking hell because of this, right Matthew?" Shannon's eyes narrow, yet he still looks confused. Matt's face flushes and I finally get the complete point of this 'meeting.' Adam heard or saw something he shouldn't have. He's mad about the past still and he wants revenge.

"You fucking bastard," I grumble.

"Shannon," Adam continues, ignoring my comment. "Why don't you tell Charity where her phone is?" Shannon let's out a string of words that aren't pleasant at Adam. "Charity… don't you feel loved? You have too beautiful rich men that are in love with you and want to fuck you all night long."

Sick pervert.

"I'm confused," Alvin states, looking around. "What is going the hell on?"

Adam smiles at Alvin. "It's simple really. Matthew and Jeffrey hold contest. Girl named Charity wins contest. Charity meets Shannon. Shannon likes what he sees. Matt insists he is there for Shannon. Shannon is a love sick freak over Charity. She turns him down. Shannon goes crying to Matt. Matt pretends to care. Shannon goes to standard idiot mode. He takes her cell phone to play a game. Something happens. He turns her down because of this and completely avoids her. Also lovesick Matthew is pissed at Shannon now and tries to comfort fallen Charity. Both are so lovesick it's pathetic and now it comes to this. Its simple, really," Adam finishes. Everyone looks around, completely shaken by this.

I can feel Beth's hand shaking inside mine. I squeeze hers and shake my head. How did one contest cause all this mess?

Finally, someone speaks, but it is the last person I expect. "You're a bastard," Charity screams and lunges onto Adam, smacking him and kicking him like the jerk he is. No one for a moment stops her. Everyone likes what they are seeing. Finally, Evita comes over and pulls her off Adam. Charity slaps Evita repeatedly and turns her attention to Matt. She doesn't say anything but her eyes say enough for a twenty page essay. She doesn't even look at Shannon before turning out of the way and running from the room.

Adam is still on the floor, holding his head. I'm not longer pushing against Brian and Beth, but look at the other Brian. He knew about this all along and knew of Adam's plans. He tried to help and we ignored him. I'd say we're all fucking idiots.
