"But he can't!" Christian yelled
"Sorry Christian but it's out of my hand's" Eric Bischoff tried to reason with the young Canadian.
"But you're the General Manager! If you can't decide who's on your show what's the point in you being here?"
"Christian! Your brother is coming to Raw. That's it!" Eric said firmly and turned, leaving Christian fuming.
Christian got to his room and slammed the door, followed by throwing his coat on the bed not noticing Andrew and Stacy where in there.
"Umm dude? Don't you have somewhere else to be?" Andrew said hinting to the door.
"You wanna grope? Do it somewhere else" Christian said not looking at them as he switched the tv on and flicked around the channels a bit before settling on hockey.
Andrew whispered something to Stacy and she went into the bathroom.
"Ok man. What's up?" Andrew said as he sat on Christian's bed.
"What do you care? You just want me out"
"Hey come on" Andrew said taken back by the harsh tone in his friend's voice.
"Sorry"
"So what's wrong?"
Christian looked at Andrew for a minute before jumping up and heading for the door.
"Christian?" Andrew asked confused
"Doesn't matter" Christian mumbled and knocked on the bathroom door.
"You can jump him now" Christian called to Stacy before leaving.
"Is he ok?" Stacy asked poking her head round the bathroom door.
"No" Andrew answered as he tried to think of something that could bother him that much.
Matt was laying on his bed watching some show on motor bike stunts when there was a knock on the door. He slowly walked to the door not taking his eye's off the screen.
He pulled the door open and didn't even bother looking who it was.
"Hey!" Trish's cheerful voice brought Matt from the tv.
"Oh hey. What do you want?" Matt asked again engrossed in the tv.
"Charming" Trish said then sighed and pushed past Matt without him even noticing. That was until she switched the tv off.
"Hey!" Matt protested
"Tv is bad for you" Trish said folding her arm's.
"Tv is what gives you money" Matt said firmly. Trish thought for a minute before realising he was right.
"Well, it's rude to ignore your friends"
"Fine. We arent friends anymore. Now put the tv on"
"Like you can get rid of me that easily" Trish said with a smug smile and her hand's on her hip's.
"Ok fine. Why are you here?"
"I thought we could hang out"
"Do I get a say in this?" Matt asked already knowing the answer.
"Nope" Trish said tossing him a leather jacket and pushing him to the door.
"Where are we going?"
"To have some fun"
"I'm scared" Where Matt's final word's before being shoved out the door.
Matt entered the room after Trish and looked around.
"I don't consider sitting in a bar with a bunch of redneck's "fun"" Matt said unenthused.
"Give it a chance. You go sit down and I'll get the drink's"
"NO! I will"
"Why Matthew, you know I can handle myself right?" Trish asked doing her best to keep a straight face.
"Of course but....this is a little diffirent to a wrestling ring" Matt said quietly.
"Lady's shouldn't go to the bar alone in place's like this." Trish would have had a go if it where anyone else but it was just impossible to do once Matt's Southern gentlemen side kicked in so she just smiled.
"I'll have a beer and so will you"
"I don't like to drink"
"Ok but you may change your mind once we get talking" Trish said with a wicked grin and wink as she headed to sit down.
Christian sat in a corner booth of the hotel bar. He was alone and that suited him just fine. He was perfectly happy to sit there in his state of depression and ignore the whole world.
"Hey!" A cheerful voice greeted.
"Go away" Christian said not needing to look up to know who it was.
"Can I sit down?"
"No" Christian staired at the man who ignored him and sat down anyway.
"Everyone else ignore's me. Why should you be any diffirent?" Christian muttered and then took a long drink of beer.
"What's with you? You look like someone shot your puppy man"
"Nothing. Leave me alone Chris"
Chris looked around for a minute before rubbing his chin as if he were thinking before speaking again.
"Aaalrig.. NO!"
"Ok am I going to have to guess?" Chris questioned then waited for a responce which he didn't get so proceeded.
"OK I'll take that as a yes. Is it something to do with Adam possibly coming to Raw?" Chris got his answer when Christian's head shot up at the mention of that name. Chris was expecting a look of anger but the look suprised him. He thought he saw a hurt look before Christian dropped his head again.
"No" Christian said weakly knowing that Chris wouldn't buy it.
"What's the big deal? Just because you're on the same show doesn't mean you gotta be pal's or anything"
"You don't understand"
"No I don't so help me to"
"Oohh I just suck!" Christian said before slamming his head into the table making Chris jump.
What they didn't know was that Adam had walked in minute's after Chris.
"Hey guy's" He greeted Amy, Shannon and Shane (Helm's).
"Hey"
"What where you talking about?"
"Oh ummm nothing important you know just...stuff" Shannon rolled his eye's at Amy's lame attempt to cover up.
"Uh huh. And you where talking about me because?"
"No! We weren't we where....talking about Christian" Amy said with a sigh.
"Oh" Was all Adam said as he suddenly found the bar very interesting. A few uncomfortable minute's passed before anyone spoke again.
"So.....is there something wrong? With Christian I mean. Why where you talking about him? Not that I care." Adam muttered the last part but they all heard it.
"I dunno he's over there and not looking too pleased" Shane answered as Adam turned around to see his brother sat at a booth with Chris just in time to see Christian slam his head on to the table so hard they could hear it over the music. They all jumped a little.
"Ouch!" Shannon said with a shudder.
"Think he knocked himself out?" Shane asked but was shut up by Amy hitting his arm.
Adam turned back to them without making eye contact.
"Wonder what's up with him" Shannon said to break the silence.
Back at the "redneck bar" as Matt had earlier called it, Trish was laughing at something Matt had said.
"So....not to get all heavy on ya but, what happened?"
"What happened when with what?" Matt asked then frowned at his own sentence making Trish laugh a little.
"With you and Jeff?" There was silence for what seemed like forever to Trish as Matt who didn't want to drink in the first place ordered himself another beer before downing the half a bottle he had left.
"It's complicated" Matt said stairing at the bottle.
"Well I know blond's are air head's but I think I can handle it" Trish said with a teasing smile. Matt forced a tiny smile then took another drink.
"I'll be right back" Trish excused herself to go to the bathroom.
A few minute's later she came out and headed for Matt as a huge guy stood in her path.
"Excuse me" Trish said politly
"Hey pretty girl. Wanna dance?" The man asked as his friend's leered at her.
"No...Thankyou"
"I wasn't asking" The man said and was about to grab her arm when a hand spun him around to become face to face with Matt.
"She said she's not interested" Matt said not even blinking as the guy tried to stair him out.
"What's it to you?"
"She's my friend"
"Well in that case" The guy looked like he was going to back off then a fist went flying at Matt knocking him back but not off his feet.
That was until he felt wood break across his back.
