A/N: Thanks for the reviews. Strong Language. Adult scenes. Krzysztof is pronounced "Chris-toff"


Jim heard his mother's footsteps and crept out to the landing to see what she was doing. She was so secretive these days. He breathed a sigh of relief as she went past the door and through the hallway. She wasn't leaving. She wasn't going anywhere...for now. Jim pulled on a longer pair of trousers and went downstairs. The kitchen was freezing. The window was open but the kitchen was like an ice-box because mum hadn't paid for the heating yet. She said she would next week and mum didn't break promises...that often.

Jim walked into the kitchen and the hairs on his arms prickled with the cold. His slippers were worn, he could feel Jam and crumbs on the floor. He looked on the table and his breakfast was in perfect order. His wholemeal toast was buttered with low fat spread and cut into quarters. His mug of apple juice was filled at 200ml and his glass of water was filled at 250ml. Jim thanked his mum and picked his tray up. "See you later" His mum said as Jim took his tray upstairs. He had two quarters of his toast and sipped his apple juice. He picked up the small cup of pills and put them in his mouth. Then he picked up his water glass and swallowed it all.


Cristiano you're here to train, not to perv" Matt Serra said. Nate groaned when half the guys in the training centre were watching Mercedes on the treadmill. Nate walked over to Mercedes' machine and pressed the stop button. "Eh?" Mercedes said turning around. "Hiya stranger" She said pointing at the treadmill. "Wanna have a go love?" She asked. "I want you fucking gone" Nate said. "What do you want? Money? Fighters don't make shit" Nate said. Mercedes took note of that, but Addison had dangled the carrot of money in her face and Mercedes McQueen was on a mission to make Nate Diaz her new MMA boyfriend.

"I ain't leaving until I get a promise" Mercedes said. "I ain't promising you shit" Nate said. "Well I may as well make myself at home then" Mercedes said getting on the mats and stretching. Mike Rio took a front row seat and called the guys over to stretch with her. Nate stood next to her. "Okay, what is it?" Nate asked. "One date, that's all I want" Mercedes said. "Yeah, whatever" Nate said. With that date night agreed on, Mercedes got up and said goodbye to the guys. "You always have to send her away at the good parts" Andy said. Nate shrugged, deciding to take Mercedes somewhere cheap and dirty.


"Jase I thought you were healing, not getting beaten up" Mark said looking at Miller's cut. "Kitchen spatula dramatics" Miller said. "How's your knee?" Mark asked. "Getting better, I mean Nick's cream is slowly doing the trick" Miller said. "Your Mom okay?" Mark asked. "Mmmm...I screwed up. I mean I don't think I did, she thinks I did as usual" Miller said. "She said she said Eight, I've got Mom on my phone saying Nine. To make it up to her I'm cooking for her at Nick's place" Miller said. "Jase...cooking?" Mark asked with a frown. "Yeah Marky I know, but Nick said he'd think about helping me" Miller said. "To help you get ready, I've got a few ideas" Mark said. "I'll tell you when you get on those weights" Mark said.

With "Glass-gate" playing on his mind, Nick didn't object when Miller texted him saying that he wanted to meet him later. After training, he got a shower, got changed and watched TV until Miller came in with a couple of visitors. "Nick you know Mark" Miller said as the guys shook hands. "This is "Krzysztof Soszynski" Miller introduced. Nick hadn't really heard much of him, but he was on one of The Ultimate Fighter Seasons like his little brother was. Nick used a friendly nod to greet Krzysztof but didn't shake his hand. "Hi Nick" Krzysztof said. "I'm just here to help Miller out, I hope you're cool with us using your place" Krzysztof said. "Nick nodded again. "It's cool" He said.


Krzysztof got things out of his rucksack. "Here's a bunch of vegan stuff. If you're looking to impress, Fish or veggie chicken fillets might be a good idea. Serve them with carbs, vegetables and vegetarian gravy and you're good to go"Krzysztof said. "Any ideas for dessert?" Krzysztof asked. "Yeah, got one of her favourites a "Raspberry Pavlova" Miller said. "Storebought?" Mark asked. Miller nodded. "Mill you know you can make Raspberry Pavlova from scratch" Krzysztof said. "Nah" Miller said. "Frozen is easier" After Krzysztof had packed the veggie and vegan things in the freezer, Nick had a quick look at them. "They're a lot like my stuff" Nick said.

"Except my frozen stuff is bigger, better healthier and more expensive" Krzysztof said. "Thanks a lot for the help Krzysztof " Miller said. "No problem Mill. Here. I've got a juicy jar of vegan squid here for you. It needs to be left out in the open, keep it fresh" Krzysztof said putting the jar in a sneaky little corner. "Umm..great" Miller said showing him out. "Come on Jase, I'm taking you on another trip" Mark said. "Miller we need to talk later" Nick said as he went back to the living room and sat down on the sofa. "Yes Sir" Miller said leaving out through the door with Mark. "Sounds serious" Mark said. "Nick always sound serious" Miller said.


Mark drove them to an average building that had different rooms. Mark strode towards the door at the end and patted Miller on the shoulder. "This is kinda like a self help class, you know, to help you with talking to your mom" Mark said. "Mark all I need to do is tell my mom a few bad jokes and she'll be fine" Miller said. "Come Jase, let's give it a go" Mark said. Miller went inside to see plastic chairs set in a circle and a guy writing something on a white-board. The man turned around. It was Walker.

"Gentlemen hello, welcome to the support group. You can choose to be anonymous here. My name's Walker, help yourself to food" Walker said pointing to the table. Miller groaned. "I know that guy" Miller told Mark. "You wanna leave?" Mark asked. "Not yet" Miller said. "I want to see what Walker's up to" Miller said getting crisps from the bowl and putting them on a paper plate. As Mark and Miller shared crisps, more members came in. Mark and Miller were soon joined by Drew, Brendan, Chris, and Collin, Aiden, Clay and Jim. Walker introduced all the men to each other and asked them to share their stories or worries.

"Hello I'm Drew and I been confused by writing the beginnings of my hypothesis on radioactive muscular tissue of cadavers. Am losing my edge?"

Hello, I'm Brendan and my Da is driving me crazy"

Hi I'm Chris and I was a soldier touring in Afghanistan, enough said"

"I'm Collin and I've made mistakes that cost me...a lot"

"I'm Aiden and I've lost someone close to me"

"Hi I'm Clay and I've got a lovely girlfriend and daughter, but something's missing"

"Hi I'm Jim and I get stressed out easily"

"Hi I'm Mayhem Miller and I want to be a cooler guy tomorrow than I was yesterday" Miller said. The whole group looked at him.


"Mr Miller would you like to elaborate on your introduction?" Walker asked with a pleasant smile.

"Nope" Miller said. "Right gentlemen, let's do a little roleplay shall we?" Walker asked. After an awkward hour of Miller pretending to be Brendan's father and Drew's Hypothesis partner, and Clay's girlfriend, Walker told them they they were finished for the day. Most of the guys couldn't wait to get out of there, but Miller and Mark stayed back. "Walker what are you really doing here?" Miller asked. "Are you taking these guy's wallets while your pretending to give a shit about their family problems?" Miller asked. "Jase!" Mark said embarrassed.

"It's okay" Walker said calmly. "Did Addison send you here?" Miller asked. "Miller's that's none of your business. All you need to know is my offer is still open" Walker said. Miller got up to leave with Mark until Walker said: "Good luck with your family meal Miller" Mark made sure Miller left without any fists flying. "See?" How does he know?" Miller asked frustrated. "Did the group work help?" Mark asked. "Yeah, It took my mind off of my Mom thinking I'm a loser and I know there are people out there more boring than I'am" Miller said as they walked out past the rooms out of the building and back to the car.


Miller was about to open the door, when he saw "stressful" Jim puking on the road. He walked up to him to check up on him. "Jimbo, you okay?" Miller asked. Jim nodded, wiping the vomit away with a shaky hand. "You need a ride home?" Miller asked. Jim shook his head, he didn't want his mum to worry. "Miller I've seen you. On TV" Jim said. "I've heard you live with the Diaz brother's now. Could I get your autographs?" Jim asked. "Sure Kiddo, when are you going to Walker's group next?" Miller asked. "Doesn't the kid want a lift?" Mark asked when Miller returned to the car. "Nah, just Nick's Nate's and yours truly's autographs" Miller said.

"Oh, that's...progress...right?" Mark asked as he started the car. Miller figured there was more to Jim than met the eye, but he quickly forgot about Jim when he saw Nick half Naked on the sofa. "Sir I can make another appointment" Miller teased as Nick ran around looking for a T-shirt. He grabbed his towel and put a T-shirt on. "Ummm...the glass" Nick said sitting down. "Nick me and Mark had the weirdest day" Miller began. "The glass?" Nick repeated. "It was this weird support group thing, but we met this kid called Jim and guess what? This kid Jim wants our autographs but can you ask Nate for his, because we both know how clingy he is with me" Miller said.

"Mill" Nick said ignoring the rubbish Miller was saying. "Okay, what about the glass?" Miller asked. "It was out here" Nick said. "If you say so Sherlock" Miller said. "Miller stop fucking me around" Nick said. "What are you hiding?" Nick asked. "I was teasing little Nathie about Cath. He threw the glass. End of story" Miller said getting up.

"Okay...cool" Nick said leaning back in the chair.

"So Nate nearly blinds me with a glass and all I get from you is "cool?" Miller asked. "Thanks for nothing Nick" Miller said walking away as Nick started to answer a text from Jacqui on his phone.
