Thank you for the reviews! And just fyi things get worse from here for everyone involved soooooo that's fun..R&R
Morning came way too early for Adam. He half stumbled downstairs his head pounding and his stomach rolling. He needed something to eat before work but he really was not in the mood for food. He jumped when he saw Jay sitting at the table sipping on his coffee. He didn't expect anyone to be up yet.
"Addy, we gotta talk." Jay told him which just made Adam groan softly before sitting down. He really was not in the mood for this. He needed booze or a hand gun to make this conversation any less awkward.
" Jay I fucked up last night and I'm sorry for dragging you and your boys into it." He murmured rubbing his face tiredly.
"Adam..Shut the fuck up. What I saw at the bar was something I never want to see again but there is no fucking way I am going to ignore what was going on like every other fucking person in that kids life. It's not even just Jeff, fuck half of those kids looked coked up and barely eighteen and no one gave a shit." Jay said simply taking a sip of his coffee. Adam has never felt like the older brother, it has always been Jay who was the calm, rational one and right now Adam wanted to hug him.
"He isn't gonna trust me again." Adam told him with a sigh. "I don't know what to do."
"All you are gonna do is go to work and try to talk to him. Go shower." Jay stood up from the table and went over to kiss his forehead. " I'm going to help you with this."
Adam closed his eyes and pushed his head into Jay's hand that was smoothing down his hair. " Love you JJ."
" Love you too Addy, now go to work." Jay told him firmly before giving him another kiss on the head before going upstairs back to his bedroom.
Adam sat there for a few minutes sipping his coffee, trying to focus and get his shit together. He needs to get to work and he needs to be at work without going insane.
Everyone was frantic when Adam walked into work. Hunter and Stephanie looked pissed as they were angrily talking on phones and gesturing to a lap top. Adam walked over to Evan and John who were talking in hush tones both looking conflicted. They stopped when Adam walked over and both sighed softly.
" Have you talked to Jeff at all?" Evan asked staying cuddled up against John's side.
" No not really, what happened?" He asked not liking the feeling he was getting from the rest of the group.
" Fuck, Jeff quit..Well I guess he quit. There was a video preview on TNA's website this morning. He hasn't talked to any of us. He won't answer his phone and I even tried calling Matt but no one will answer their fucking phone." Evan said rubbing his face roughly.
Adam went over to the laptop people seemed to be crowded by, the telltale noise of sex got louder as he pushed his way to the front. The video was 2 minutes long and Adam could only stomach about thirty seconds of it. It looked real, way to fucking real to be a porn. The clip started in a dark room just illuminated with one light and Jeff huddled in the corner his knees pulled to his chest. A group of men stormed into the room and Jeff screamed but it was cut off when a Taser was shoved against the bare pale skin of his back. Adam almost vomited after that, he couldn't watch anymore.
"Alright, we all have seen the clip and Jeff made his choice which breaks his contract. Our lawyers are in contact with those trash bag Carters and this is the last we will talk about them or Jeff Hardy in this office. We will start filming in an hour so everyone get ready. We need to do what we do best and what is best for business." Stephanie said forcefully over the group who was murmuring to each over. Once Hunter and Stephanie went back into the office Adam went back to John and Evan his eyes wide.
"What the fuck is that?" He asked motioning towards the laptop. He could still hear Jeff's scream in his head, nothing about that seemed fake.
" TNA does whatever they can to be relevant. They don't sell as nearly as well as we do so they do some pretty hardcore shit just to get views. They have been trying to get Jeff for years, his brother works for them. Guess they offered him something good or more drugs. Jeff's a big boy and we have to respect his decision." John leaned down and kissed Evan on the told of the head. " I'm shooting with Rollin's this morning. I need to get ready stop worrying about him."
Adam looked down at Evan who frowned even more when John left them. Adam knew he had a ally in all of this. Evan looked as worried as Adam felt. The younger man grabbed his bag off the ground and motioned Adam to follow him outside. He spoke once the door closed behind him.
" I…I know people who worked for TNA and they weren't okay after. I don't like this and I know Jeff wouldn't work for them unless he was forced into it. " Evan started pacing looking increasingly more frantic.
" This has that asshole Punk written all over it. He wants to isolate him from all of us." Adam leaned against the wall feeling way too tried for this shit.
" Neither of us shoot until noon, we should go get some coffee and talk." Evan said motioning for Adam to follow him. " There is a coffee ship just across the road."
Adam nodded and followed to younger man down the side walk and felt just a bit lighter knowing that he does have a friend in this. What he saw on that video made skin crawl and he needed to do something
