Jay soon forgot his sour mood, as did the others as soon as they had a huge steamy, yummy and gooey pizza- with- everything- except- green- peppers- and- anchovy's pizza in front of them. Matt and Amy were sitting together, as were Jeff and Trish. Adam was sitting next to Jay to stop him going mad and decapitating someone as he had been in the mood to do so when they had left the arena, and everyone else was randomly dotted about the table and digging into their slices.
"Ugh! Who ordered mushrooms!" asked Jay after finding some nasty grey globs on his pizza slice. "I hate mushrooms"
"Oh, those aren't mushrooms." Amy informed him. "They're escargots - snails!"
Everyone hurriedly put his or her pizza slices down. Only going back to them after Amy sheepishly added "Kidding!"
"So who DID order mushrooms?" Asked Jay.
"You did." Adam informed him. When Jay looked at him confused he added. "You said 'extra-extra-extra large pizza with everything. That includes mushrooms Jay-Jay!"
"Don't call me that!" snapped Jay before returning, scowling, to his pizza.
Adam didn't bother asking what was wrong. He knew Jay was madder at the RAW brand than him anyway. Jay hadn't said anything since they came away from the arena but Adam knew that he was Angry at Buh-buh Ray's attitude, until the brand extension they had all been the best of friends. But not anymore.
Deciding against his better judgement, Adam leaned closer to Jay and murmured "What's wrong."
Jay shifted away from him and folded his arms before answering "Nothing"
Adam gave up and sat back down, I Jay wanted to tell him, he thought, he would.
Adam instead turned his attention to the other end of the table. Where Matt and Amy were sitting together, looking at the script for the next rehearsal. They both went to turn the page at the same time and their hands met, before Matt withdrew his, and let Amy turn the page. Adam grinned, unable to help noticing the blushes on both their faces. He grinned but neither of them noticed since they were looking back at the script, he tugged on Jay's sleeve and whispered in his ear.
"I have an idea."
****************
In the men's bathroom
****************
Adam had eventually dragged a pissed off Jay into the Men's Bathroom with him to try and get him to talk to him.
"Jay-Jay? What's bugging you?" he asked.
Jay just stood there before saying, "You are Goddamn persistent you know that?"
"Yeah, so?"
"I don't want to talk about it can't you take a hint!"
"Ah!" Said Adam triumphantly. "So there IS something!"
Jay turned his back on him.
"Shut up."
"Jay c'mon!" Adam pleaded. "You always tell me EVERYTHING!"
Jay shifted uncomfortably on the spot for a moment then looked back at Adam, not quite meeting his eyes. He bit his lip and shifted his weight from one foot to another before finally saying;
"It's Chris."
"Irvine?"
"Yeah."
"What's he done?"
"It's not what he's DONE, it's more what he.hasn't."
"Oh"
Jay sighed before continuing. "I think he's avoiding me, when we arrange to meet he'll never turn up, never return my phone calls. Whenever I phone him he's 'out' and last time I called him someone who sounded suspiciously like him answered and told me he wasn't in. what's going on Adam?"
"I don't know Jay, when did this start?"
Jay suddenly made an expression of realisation. And snapped his fingers. "Since the BRAND EXTENSION! It's been since he went to Raw!"
"What!!!" Adam's expression was one of shock. Don't tell me he's acting like the Dudleyz too! Aw crap! That sucks!"
Jay, after his expression of realisation had faded had worn one of sadness.
"This sucks, that guy is one of my best friends"
"He is! And he'll come around. Just give it time."
"I'm sick of this whole brand extension."
"It's not that bad."
"It IS that bad Adam - we've practically turned into the montagues and Capulets"
Adam couldn't help laughing.
"WHAT?" Jay snapped.
"Nothing - it's just that you're finally getting into this play."
"And how is that funny?"
"Well now you mention it - it isn't."
"Then shut up"
"How about we both shut up - and finish our pizza?"
"Ok"
They exited the bathroom and went back to their friends.
