I was lying on a wooden bench with my head rested in Jeff's lap, we were in
Matt and Jeff's dressing-room along with Matt and Amy. All four of us were
still trying to come to terms with what had just happened. I had been
confident during the dispute with Mark that he'd been bluffing but the look
in his eyes and the disappointment when he walked away proved I had been
wrong.
"I can't believe he made you choice . that's just wrong," Amy said, shaking her head.
"I always thought you guys were close," Matt stated, thinking out-loud.
"Yeah, I guess that was the image portrayed and we were . we are. It's just he likes to be in control of what I do and who I see," I told them as Jeff stroked my light-blonde hair. "I always pushed it aside and put it down to him being over-protective, trying to give me a father-like figure as well as behind a brother." I didn't talk about my Dad much and this was clear from the blank expressions on the NC residents' faces. "Mark was 19 when Dad died, I was only 5," I explained looking at the ceiling.
"I'm sorry," Matt apologised.
"Don't be," I told him. "It's all in the past and there's nothing anyone could have done." I suddenly sat up straight, shocking Jeff. "Glenn," I muttered as I whipped the tears out of my eyes. "I've got to find Glenn before Mark does," I looked at Jeff. "He knew about us, Mark can't find that out. He'd go mad and they'd end up fighting. You saw how angry he was."
"Fine, but I'm coming with you," Jeff told me supportively.
"I don't know . what if we run into Mark?" I asked.
"That's why we're coming to," Amy told us. The red head stood up from sitting on the wooden bench next to her boyfriend, Matt.
I didn't know what to say . they were all being so great and supportive.
"I know that you don't want a group going everywhere you go but just while Mark is as angry as he is it'd be a good idea," Matt explained even though I hadn't said anything against the idea. "I know we might not be able to do anything but if anything does happen then at least we could try."
I smiled; I'd heard Matt say that about Amy and Jeff when they were wrestling, I suppose it just made me feel accepted by them. "Ok, but if we do see Mark please don't get fired up or let him wind you up."
"You've got it," Matt said, nodding.
I stood up to put my badge coat on. "Ya'll ready?" I asked.
"Yeah," Jeff said standing up and wrapping his arms around me. He softly kissed my neck, making me smile.
Matt and Amy also stood up. "Remember when we were like that?" Matt joked.
"Yeah, way back in the stone ages!" Jeff joked.
Amy laughed while Matt pretended to be offended by his younger brother's comment. "Yeah, yeah, whatever," he said as he took Amy by the hand and left the room with his head held up in the air. Jeff and Amy just laughed at him while I watched in bemusement!
"Come on," Jeff said as he took me by the hand and led me out of the room after Matt and Amy. "If we've gotta do this we've gotta do it now."
I stopped Jeff from walking me any further. "Honey, if you really don't want to do it then it's fine. Glenn needs to know though because he put his neck on the line and if Mark ever found out he knew then his neck will no longer be attached to his body." I couldn't help but laugh slightly at the scared expression on Jeff's adorable face. "I'm just messing, sorry," I apologised. "He won't cut his neck off or anything like that, Glenn can fight back against Mark but it'd destroy a friendship."
Jeff nodded. He stood to face me; he took both of my hands in his and looked deeply into my blue eyes. "I understand. Even though I'm not overjoyed about the possibility of running into you're not-to-happy brother even hell and fire won't keep me away, I want to be there for you and I am here for you. I love you," he kissed me passionately on the lips.
"Come on you two!" Amy called from outside. "If you don't hurry up Mark'll have found Glenn before we do!"
Jeff rolled his emerald green eyes and ended the kiss. "Come on, we'd better do what she says," he teased as he linked my hand and we walked out of the dressing room.

I took a deep breath as I knocked on the wooden dressing room door in front of me. There was no answer so I knocked again. Yet again there was no answer.
"Go in," Amy urged as she saw the worried look on my face.
I nodded as I pushed down on the door handle to open the door. I stepped into the room with the 3 member of Team eXtreme close behind me. It looked like we had just been beaten to the room by a hurricane, Glenn's belongings lined the floor, doors had been left open and a paper had been scattered over the already littered floor. "Glenn?" I called out as I rushed into the nearest room which turned out to be a bathroom. The same scene of upset was set in there but this time it was towels and toiletries that had been flung across the floor. I emerged from the room back into the main room where Matt was standing. "Mark's been here," I told him.
"Are you sure this was Mark? He has no reason to be angry with Glenn yet," Matt asked.
I shrugged. "I don't know. He probably doesn't know about Glenn knowing yet, just went looking for him to tell him about what's happened," I said trying to think like my brother. "He must be really angry to he's taken it out on Glenn's room," I stopped as Amy and Jeff walked back into the room.
"Here," Amy said as she threw something across the room at me. I caught it. It was Glenn's Kane mask.
"Where was it?" I asked her.
"On the floor, thought I should pick it up encase it gets trod on and damaged or something like that," she explained.
I nodded. "Come on, lets got out of here," I said as I walked out of the room, Glenn's mask still in my hand. "Where would Glenn be?" I asked myself.
"I can't believe he made you choice . that's just wrong," Amy said, shaking her head.
"I always thought you guys were close," Matt stated, thinking out-loud.
"Yeah, I guess that was the image portrayed and we were . we are. It's just he likes to be in control of what I do and who I see," I told them as Jeff stroked my light-blonde hair.
