" Adam SHIT," Matt yelped, blood dripping from his split lip.

" That's for Amy," Adam mumbled obviously drunk.

" Adam!" Paul, Steve, Chris and Jay, pulled the two away from each other just in case.

" Ad I didn't do anything to Amy."

" You made her hurt,"

" Jay!" Matt said desperately not wanting to fight with his inebriated friend,

" Come on Ad, look Amy is fine see, let's go sit." He led Adam away closely flanked by Paul for safety, Matt touched his fat lip and winced. Then he turned his attention to the toilet door. A harassed looking flight attendant was standing by the door.

" Sir other passengers would like to use the toilet."

" Umm I can't right now, Uhh its a family crisis, and I don't have a death wish." The steward shot a helpless glance at the passengers crowded round the cubicle.

Matt said, " I'm his brother I'll handle it."

"Okay sir," said the steward rather relieved.

" Jeff get the hell outta there now!"

" I don't wanna die Matt."

" Look I'll kill you when we land, but other people need to use the toilet Jeff."

" I don't know."

" Look I'll go sit down, just get out here." The door slowly opened and Jeff came gingerly out.

"Okay I'm out." Other passengers were relieved as the queue started to move. Matt took Jeff's arm and sat him down in his seat.

"I'm totally disappointed in you Jeff." Matt said, not as angry as Jeff had expected, more upset.

" I-" Jeff started, but Matt got up, and went and sat on his on his own, across the cabin. Jeff was confused, he'd expected Matt to open a can of whoopass on him, but this was kinda worse. Getting the silent treatment meant Matt was really peed. Lots of people tried to talk to Matt, he ignored them all even Amy. And when the plane landed, he got his bag, and left in his own private limo, not a shared one like usual.

Jeff shared with Chris (Y2J) Irvine as Matt had bailed.

" Wow junior, Guess you got lucky huh?"
"Not really Chris, Matt's givin' me the silent treatment, which is worse 'cos if we had a fight we'd be done with this shows he's real hurt or pissed, at this point I can't tell which."

"Awww poor you kiddo, I bet it'll blow over soon, you and Matt are so close it can't last long."

"I hope so, I hate when he's mad at me."

When they got to the arena, the Hardyz locker room was, well, locked.

"Damn I guess I'll have to go see if there's a new one available."

"Share with me Jeff, I have a big one but you'll have to try make up with Matt before we record Raw."

The rehearsals went fine until it got to the Hardyz v Taker and Kane for the tag team titles... no Matt.

Mark and Mike were laughing and joking around in the ring when the Hardyz music Death from Above hit and Jeff stepped out alone "Lita" behind him.

Mark (taker) shouted "Still no luck Jeff?"

Jeff shook his head and ran down to ringside.
The trainer was there; they usually practiced some moves and warmed up with the trainer first then ran through the match.

Jeff stepped in the ring and said, "We can't do the match without him guys!"
"Yeah ok, we'll go tell Vince what's up and come find you when we're sorted."
Jeff dragged himself back to him and Chris' locker room, Amy comforting him "it'll be ok, this'll all work out."
But Jeff couldn't lift his spirits.
Amy sighed, Matt needed time That's all, but she decided to try and talk to him.
She found the Hardyz locker room open and saw Matt sitting, his head in his hands still in his street clothes.
"Matt" She placed a hand on his shoulder.
"What Amy?" Matt said without looking up.
"Why are you doin' this? Poor Jeff is all torn up, he'd rather you just yelled at him and hit him or somethin'!"
"Or our lives I've yelled and we'd fight, but he still doesn't learn. He doesn't realize the consequences of his actions that everything can't end with a fight. He knows all the crap Trish has put me through and all she's done over the past few weeks! And he goes and sleeps with her! What the hell do you want me to do ask when the wedding is?! I try to teach him but it doesn't get through so WHY BOTHER!?"
Just then a runner came in.
"Uh, Matt?"
"Yeah?"
"Your tag match has been changed."
"Oh? To what?"
"A match against your brother...... in a steel cage."
