Author Note: Thanks for the review! The next chapter will be back with a drunk Adam still at MeatHook
Meat Hook looks a little less disgusting when it's busy. It has less of a drive bar look and more of a night club atmosphere. Adam watched as Heath walked a head of them with a happy look on his face, the kid had a fake ID and he did enjoy using it. Jay didn't want to bring him but the kid insisted if all three of them got to go out so did he, all dressed up in his tight jeans and tight tank top. Adam shoved his hands deeper in his pockets and got in line behind all the kids that looked closer to Heath's age then Adams, Jays or Chris's though the eldest was pretty excited about the night out too wrapping his arm tightly around Heath's waist.
"Adam why are we here?" Jay asked quietly giving Adam a worried glance.
"Well you guys need a night out and I don't trust Jeff's boyfriend. When I found him here yesterday he was a mess and no one else seems to really care. Everyone else is just letting him get away with all of this. I can't." Adam sighed softly knowing his brother was going to give him shit about this.
"Adam, if this gets bad we are going home okay. If I feel like any of us are in danger we are gone." He said as they all walked into the crowed bar.
The music was so loud it was making Adam's chest hurt, the dance floor was packed and there was an equally large group around the stage watching a young looking man with shaggy black hair, angel wings and not much else on. Adam felt Jay pull him towards the bar as Chris and Heath went towards the dance floor to start grinding up on each other.
"They are gonna do some dancing and we are going to set out a game plan for what we are trying to do tonight." Jay ordered them two bars and went over to an empty table near the back of the bar. Jay fiddled with the label of the bottle and looked at Adam with a slightly concerned look on his face. "So what are we doing here, I'm hoping to god you don't think you can just run in and save Jeff from whatever coked out lifestyle he is living. I understand you like to save all of the little bird with the broken wings but I don't want you to get on people's bad side and get hurt."
"Jay we are just here to watch okay. You didn't see him last night that kid was a mess and no one seems to give a shit. He hugged this Phil guy and he just shoved Jeff off of him like he was nothing. That Raven guy was pumping him full of pills and booze. The kid is scared and no one gives a shit." Adam took a swig from his beer looking over watching the kid on the stage. He looked too you to be in this place too. Everyone working in this place looked a lot too young to be in a bar.
" Why do you always have to be the one to give a shit?" Jay huffed taking a long drink from the bottle. " You know as much as you piss me off sometimes you know Ma would be proud of you for being her heroic little Adam."
"Ma does have a tendency to encourage my bird saving." Adam laughed. In momma Copeland's eyes Adam could never do anything wrong, it was like he hung the moon in his mother's eyes unlike Jay who was a hell raiser from the second he could walk.
"Well boys and toys we have a special guest tonight, it has been a few months since he has graced you with his presence but I guess he isn't too good for up after all. Everyone here once again is Jeff hardy." The announcer said as Jeff strutted on to the stage just in a baggy pair of black pants and brightly colored arm band. Fuck Jeff could dance well, he owned the stage. Fuck Adam couldn't help the fact his face turned red while he watched him. He has fucked this guy but this was hotter Jeff was good at moving his body to the music. He was done before Adam realized, Jeff was just in a bright green thong grabbing his money off the stage as people grabbed at him even though it is well known you can't touch the strippers.
"Remember all of the boys tonight are available for private dancing once they are done on the stage."
"You are not getting a dance from him." Jay said before Adam could even look back over at him. "That is about as subtle as a fucking dick in the ass."
"Jay…I'm not getting a dance from him. You are."
Jay's point of view
Jay really couldn't believe the things he did for his brother, even after all these years he is wrapped around Adam's finger and that's why he was in the greasy back room at the bar talking to a smarmy looking guy and handing his over more money than he wanted to spend on a lap dance.
"So It 50 for a lap dance, 100 for him to be naked, 200 for him to suck your dick, 250 for you to fuck him and 300 for you to fuck him without a condom." The guy with dark curly hair said sounding rather bored. Jay set his lips in a firm line not about to get kicked out because he has some big fucking issues with the fact prostitution is illegal.
"I'll just do the dance." Jay said firmly pounding back his beer.
"If you change your mind, he is a good fuck, he screams for it nice." The guy smirked at Jay before leaving the room and closing it behind him. Jay went and sat down in the cheap ass looking velvet chair. What was he even supposed to say, hey Jeff you probably don't remember me because you were high as fuck last time but my brother has known you for three days and he's in love with you. He swore under his breath and poured himself another drink when the door opened and Jeff was pushed in. He was just in black booty shorts and his lip was split. Jeff was unsteady on his feel as he walked over to Jay. When he got closer Jay could see some blood crusted under his nose.
"You thought they would clean you up better for a lap dance." Jay remarked standing up to grab the package of baby wipes that weren't even hidden well and walking over to Jeff to clean his face up. Jeff flinched but let Jay wipe the blood off his face. "So were you snorting coke or were you back handed?"
"You have a lot of questions for a guy getting a lap dance." Jeff murmured his eyes looking down at his feet.
"I guess I except my strippers to look good all night. You don't recognize me do you? I didn't think you would, you were pretty fucked up yesterday too." He tucked Jeff's hair behind hid ears.
" Adam..You live with Adam. Is he here?" Jeff looked almost hopeful finally looking up at Jay, the hopefulness did not last long. "You need to make sure Phil doesn't see him. I don't want Adam to get hurt. Phil is protective over me, he gets jealous if I get too chummy with my coworkers. That's why he likes me dancing better none of us dancers are overly close. I like dancing but I like the guys doing porn better. Adam is so nice." Jeff rambled as Jay gently wiped the blood off his face.
"Jeff you know if something is happening to you here, we can get you some help and get you out of here. You know the guy who brought me back here said I could fuck you for 300 without a condom. Please tell me you aren't doing that." Jay watched Jeff go over to the little bar and pour himself a glass of straight vodka downing most of it.
" I told Phil and Matty I wasn't doing that, I could lose my job doing porn if I caught something." Jeff got the lost look in his eyes again as he poured himself another drink his hands shaking.
"Well was saying no the reason you got smacked in the mouth?" He asked rubbing his face. This kid was going to destroy Adam and his brother is too damn starry eyed to realize it. He pulled out his wallet and grabbed his credit card. " If I pay the three hundred can I take you home? I promise no one is going to mess with you but you need to sleep and I'm assuming you won't if you are not forced too."
" It's 500 to keep me the whole night. Jay you don't have too, I'll be okay Phil will take me home soon and he will take care of me. I don't know why everyone thinks Phil is this monster, he loves me and he take's care of me."
" You sound like a fucking lifetime movie. Jeff for some fucking reason my brother is trying to watch out for you and I just don't want my brother being heart broken when he realizes you two aren't gonna work out. I don't really care what you do with your life but I have to care of that moron who was stupid enough to fall in love with the first person he fucks at work." Jay snapped pressing the button on the door to get one of the workers to come to the room so he could pay for Jeff for the night.
The screams coming from down the hall stopped him. He recognized that voice, fuck it was Heath. He ran down the hall towards the commotion. Heath was on his knees on the floor beside the kid who was dancing when they came in the bar. He was still in his angel wings as he convulsed on the ground. Heath kept screaming at Chris who had his phone out calling 911. Jay knew he recognized the stripper from somewhere, it was Heath's ex-boyfriend Justin.
" Heath you gotta roll him on his side okay." Jay said shaking Heath slightly trying to calm the hysterical man down. Heath looked at him with wide eyes, smelling a lot like cheap vodka and cigarette smoke. He noddle and turned him on his side once the kid stopped moving on the ground.
" You are doing good Justin, you will be okay." Heath murmured rubbing Justin's back ignoring Chris and Jay focusing on the now still stripper. Jay nearly jumped out of his skin when a cold hand clamped down on his shoulder, it was Jeff who was now in a loose sweater, his face was pale but he did look alittle more focused.
"Take him out the back door, the emts won't be able to get in and Justin is going to get in shit if cops come too. Just go down the hallway past the rooms and you'll be out front again. I'll go and distract Raven so he doesn't know Justin is gone." Jeff said quickly helping Jay lift Justin up off the floor. The man in the wings was out of it not even moving.
"Thank you Jeff, stay safe kid okay. Please if you are in trouble you know where we live." Jay told him quickly as they pushed past people to get out of the building dragging an overdosed stripper with them. They propped Justin up against the wall his head still hanging limply but at least the kid was breathing. In fact he was doing better than Heath who looked like he was about to pass out.
"Heath you are gonna have to calm down, this kid is gonna be fine." Jay reassured him with a firm hand on his back. Heath did not answer Jay, he just shook him off and pulled Justin closer his eyes full of tears.
They did not get home till four in the morning. Heath wouldn't leave until Justin woke up then he promised the kid he would be back first thing in the morning. Jay did not know what he should do, he was going to kill Adam when he got back home. Chris was sitting on the couch rubbing Heath's back tiredly as Jay paced back and forth in the living room.
"We should call the cops." Jay finally said breaking the silence.
"That will just get Justin in trouble." Heath said softly his face half buried in Chris's shirt.
" I think we should just leave it alone and not get involved." Chris spoke up racking a hand over his face.
"Chris! That kid would have died if you didn't help him. How in the fuck can you say we should just leave it alone?" Jay was shocked that Chris would even think like that.
" Jason, you know who owns that bar?"
"No and why does that fucking matter? Jay asked looking at him with wide eyes.
" The Carter's own Meat hook and pretty much the whole south side. They pump money into bars and clubs and make sure it is staffed full of drug dealers. They have made millions off kids like Justin and nothing has happened to them. They own the fucking hospital I work at! These people are unfucking touchable. Why are we going to risk getting involved just because your fucking brother again fell for a slut with a tragic backstory." Chris said in a sharp voice pulling Heath closer when the youngest whined softly at Chris's tone of voice. This is why they never went out often, Chris and Jay always seemed to get in a fight and then Heath would start crying.
" Go fuck yourself and don't talk about my brother that way! He has more fucking heart then your sorry ass does. You are always so preoccupied on what people think. A fucking nineteen year old was convulsing on the floor and he would still be on the floor if you guys didn't help him. Fuck they told me for 300 bucks I could have fucked Jeff without a condom. These peoples are monsters!"
"You also haven't explained why you were getting a dance anyways? I'm guess I paid for it anyways since I pay for fucking everything. "
" Fuck you, you stupid son of a bitch." Jay shouted at him before storming up to their bedroom. Fuck he could hear Heath crying down stairs already. At least he was drunk enough to pass out soon. He really did hate fighting in front of the youngest but sometimes he just couldn't handle it. Jay crawled out of the window with a pack of smokes in his hand to sit on the roof trying to clear his head.
All Jay ever had was his older brother, he was always a small skinny kid who had a big mouth. He never really made friends but he always had his brother and he would never turn his back on his brother no matter how head strong and full of heart he was Jay always ended up following Adam no matter how much of a fight he puts up at first. Tonight was no different, as much as Jay just wanted Adam to leave Jeff alone, he would defend his brothers choices till his last breath.
Jay jumped when he heard a light hand knocking on the window. It was Chris, the oldest man looked tired and Jay felt bad for fighting with the oldest. He leaned over and pushed the window open motioning for Chris to come out on to the roof.
"Thought you stopped smoking?" Chris asked sitting down beside him wrapping his arms around his legs.
" I only smoke when I am stressed out." Jay remarked putting the cigarette out on the shingle. Chris reached over and pulled Jay tight against his side.
" Im sorry I yelled at ya." He murmured burying his face in Jay's shoulder. " I just wanna keep my boys safe, fuck the Carters are scary people JJ. I just couldn't stand if something happened to any of you."
"Adam has fallen hard for that fucking kid. I can't just let him do this by himself. Jeff was a mess and I guess I am alittle too much like Adam…I just can't ignore someone who is hurting. "Jay snuggled up against him and let out a shaky sigh.
" Two of the most stubborn people I know." Chris smiled softly and gave Jay a kiss. " We should get inside, I tucked in Sweetness, he had too much to drink tonight and the stuff with Justin got him all stressed." Jay nodded and slid through the window after Chris stripping down too his boxers once they got into their bedroom and slid into the bed with Chris and Heath. He was gonna help his brother but he needed to keep his family safe too.
