Disclaimer: I don't own WWE, but I love to fight.

Wassup! Long time no see people, thought you'd got rid of me didn't ya? Figures that I'd be able to get this up in time for Wrestlemania weekend, so let's go back and see what's been happening. Jason's been feuding with JBL, John's been goin' at it with Captain Charisma, Shawn Michaels has taken on the role of Jason's mentor and The Boogeyman keeps turning up at random points for no reason. So this chapter Jason is running on a lot of confidence… or is he?

Here We Go!

Brotherly Hate-Chapter Eleven

The confidence that Jason had been feeling following Mara's victory over the cabinet image consultant had all but disappeared by the time Smackdown rolled round next week. Nerves had finally caught up with the teen causing him several sleepless nights, and when he did manage to he was plagued by dreams of being humiliated by JBL with John saying how pathetic he was for letting it happen. By the time he arrived at the arena Jason was already feeling like crap from lack of sleep and exhaustion so he was hoping that Teddy Long would be generous and grant him the night off, but when he checked the board to see the matches for the night he was dismayed to see his name opposite Tyson Tomko in the second match of the show, checking throughout the rest of the board he noticed that John was facing Chris Masters in a non-title bout and that Shawn, Christian and JBL had no matches, in fact, no cabinet member was in action. "Figures" he thought bitterly. "JBL would get the night off while I'm having all these problems, but at least I got someone who I'm almost certain I can beat". He walked slowly back to the locker room not responding to anyone who greeted him, John and Mara were waiting for him when he got back.

"So what's the deal?" Asked John.

"You got Masters and I got Tomko," muttered Jason.

"Tomko?"

"Yup".

"What about Christian?"

"Night off".

"Damn! JBL?"

"Night off".

John slumped back into his seat. "What the hell is Teddy thinking? Putting us in matches but giving our opponents the night off?"

"I dunno if JBL has the night off," said Mara. "I saw his limo here when we arrived, so Teddy must have something in mind for him".

John didn't reply and Jason leant against the wall looking at the ground, he looked so tired and miserable that John thought that someone had replaced his younger brother with someone else.

"Kid" he said, Jason looked up. "You sure you're gonna be up for competing tonight?"

Jason nodded but didn't reply, John continued.

"I can speak to Teddy and try to get it called off if you want".

"No, I'll be alright, it's only Tomko, speaking of which I better get ready" he grabbed his ring gear and walked into the shower to change, John watched him go then turned to Mara.

"I'm counting on you to keep an eye on him".

"Right".

Jason wasn't feeling any better when he walked out to the arena with Mara by his side for his match with Tomko, even so he couldn't help but smile at the reaction he was getting from the crowd, the loyal WWE fans had really warmed to him over the past few weeks and his support was only getting stronger. "Sure it's mostly cause I'm John Cena's brother, but I'm still getting more cheers than some 'established' superstars" he thought smirking. About halfway down the aisle he got the feeling that someone was coming up behind him, he spun round just in time to see an arm coming for his head, he ducked and felt the blow skim through his hair, spinning round again he instinctively began to throw punches at his would-be attacker. He didn't even have to see the guys face, he knew it was JBL. "I should've known he was gonna try and set me up" he thought as he continued to pound on JBL down to ringside, he went to whip JBL into the steel steps but the cabinet leader reversed and Jason collided with them full force instead, JBL continued to pound on Jason while he was down repeatedly slamming his head back against the steps. The referee came out of the ring to try to stop the assault but was rewarded with a straight right hand from JBL that put him down, JBL returned his attention to Jason, picking the fallen teen up and rolling him into the ring, Jason slowly pulled himself to his feet but was knocked right back down by a huge big boot by Tomko, his head snapped back against the mat and he lay still.

JBL had watched the boot with a huge smile on his face, he turned and saw Mara watching on with a horrified look on her face, they locked eyes and JBL grinned before climbing into the ring to join Tomko. He slapped the big man on the back.

"Christian was right, you're a damn good problem solver" he said. Tomko responded with a small grin before stepping back to allow JBL to continue his business with Jason, he stood over the teen talking trash but stopped when he saw the glazed look in his eyes, he waved his hand in front of Jason's face and laughed when there was no sign of recognition from the teen. He turned to Tomko and called for another boot before starting to pick up Jason, who was unable to stand on his own, he looked at Tomko, who was gearing up for the boot but suddenly froze, pointing behind JBL. The cabinet leader spun round, letting Jason crumple to the ground in a heap, and saw Shawn Michaels charging to the ring, he prepared to meet Michaels but the Heartbreak Kid shot passed him and knocked down Tomko before turning his attention to JBL. The two exchanged punches with Shawn gaining the advantage, JBL fell back against the ropes so Shawn clotheslined him out then met the recovering Tomko with Sweet Chin Music, he considered chasing after the retreating JBL but instead turned his attention to Jason who hadn't moved since JBL had let him drop to the floor. One look at the kid's eyes told him the story and he began calling for help, several EMT's, closely followed by John, came running down the aisle, Jason was helped to his feet by Shawn and John and was carried to the back.

When Jason came to he was lying on a bed in the trainer's room, after lying there for a few moments he became aware of the fact that his sight was blurred, he had an almighty headache and that someone was shining a bright light into his eyes. Looking around he saw John, Mara and Shawn gathered around him.

"How many fingers am I holdin' up kid?" Asked Shawn, holding up three.

"Which one of you wants to know?" replied Jason with a weak laugh. Teddy Long then entered the room.

"How is he?" He asked the trainer.

"He's concussed, not as bad as Paul London was before he left, a little sleep and he'll be good to go by next weeks show".

"O.K. good thing ya got such a hard head huh playa?"

"Yeah" laughed Jason.

"Right seeing what's happened here I got two announcements to make. Number one, John, your match with Masters has been put off until next week".

John nodded silently.

"Number two, Shawn, you will be facing JBL in tonight's main event".

"Good, cause when I'm through with him he'll be suckin' soup through a straw for the next week!"

"Try and leave some of him for me" said Jason.

"Can't make any promises but I'll try kid" replied Shawn turning to leave, john grabbed his arm to stop him.

"Listen, I know me and you don't see eye to eye, but thanks for saving him".

Shawn didn't reply, he merely nodded and walked out the door, once he was gone Teddy turned to Jason.

"I gotta say playa, you got a hell of a friend in that man".

Despite the fact that he and John had no more business to be there, and the fact that he had a concussion, Jason had refused to leave the arena until after the main event despite the pleas of John and Mara. The trio were now watching the main event of Shawn versus JBL and the Heartbreak Kid was struggling to mount any offence against the cabinet leader, every time he tried to make a comeback JBL would pound him back down to the ground.

"Well kid it looks like your buddy ain't gonna pull this one out of the hat" said John.

Jason didn't respond, he was to busy trying to focus on the match, which was hard as he couldn't tell which of the monitors he could see was the real one.

"Tell ya what" continued John. "I'll go put our stuff in the car now so we can leave as soon as this match is over O.K.?"

"Whatever" muttered Jason, continuing to watch the screen, as soon as John had left however, he staggered to his feet and began to leave the room.

"Where the hell do you think you're going?" Asked Mara.

"Where do you think?" Replied Jason without turning round. Mara looked from him, to the screen, and back again.

"Oh no!" She cried charging after him. "Jason don't do this, you're concussed! You're not thinking straight! If you go out there, you'll just get hurt even more!"

By this time they had reached the sound area, Jason barged past all the staff and straight out into the arena, his timing was perfect because as he walked out JBL was calling for the Clothesline-From-Hell, the cabinet leader froze at the site of his future opponent staggering down the aisle with his girlfriend trying to stop him. JBL began laughing and calling for Jason to 'come get some' as John would put it, Jason paused for a moment, then jumped up onto the ring apron only to be punched right back down, JBL laughed again and turned….right into Sweet Chin Music from Shawn, HBK covered and Jason had yet again cost JBL a match.

"What the HELL were you thinking?" Screamed John at his younger brother as soon as he returned to the locker room. "You have a concussion and you go and pull a stunt like that?"

"I was only following your advice" muttered Jason.

"When in the past few weeks you've been here have I told you to do so crazy?"

"Let me quote you…'Never back down and never quit, take the punishment and go back for more' need I go on?"

"Not when you have a DAMN CONCUSSION!" Screamed John. "How much of an IDIOT are you?" He emphasized this by slapping Jason in the head, realising what he had done he immediately backed down. "Jason… I'm sorry I…"

"So I'm an idiot am I?" Said Jason, a dangerous look in his somewhat glazed eyes. "If I recall you've pulled stunts like that with a broken wrist, cracked ribs and damaged kidneys. So if I'm an idiot…YOU'RE A GRADE-A FUCKING MORON!"

"Who the hell do you think you're talking to? I'm your brother, speaking of that we should be supporting each other, which is something you haven't been doing lately".

Jason looked hurt. "Oh you wanna go there do you? Let me remind you that it's because of me you still have that title you hold so dear" Jason was really working himself up now. "If anything you haven't been there for me".

"Name one time I haven't been there for you then".

"I can name four".

"Oh can you? Go on".

"One. Us against Christian and Orlando, JBL takes my head off and you were nowhere to be seen".

"I was fighting with Christian!"

"Two" continued Jason ignoring him. "Me against Orlando, Chris Masters comes out and kicks my ass!"

"I came out to help you!"

"Yeah, after five minutes of a beating and, if I can recall seeing as how I'm concussed, it was Paul London who came to help me first!"

John was silent to this.

"Three. The Masterlock Challenge, although you were pretty banged up yourself so maybe I'll let that go, and four. This very night when JBL and Tomko tried to do some permanent damage to me, you were nowhere in sight so Shawn had to come out and save me!"

John was trying to speak but seemingly couldn't.

"There you go, four examples of when you haven't been there for me when I needed you, although, that's about par for the course with you isn't it?"

John slumped down on the sofa with his head in his hands, when he looked up Jason could see tears in his eyes, these seemed to wash out all the anger he was feeling and replace it with guilt.

"John…I didn't mean for that to…"

"No… it's alright I deserved some of that, you're right, I wasn't there for you tonight… just like I wasn't there for you after Mom died".

Jason sat down next to him. "Look, it's O.K. I didn't mean some of that stuff…I was angry".

"Yeah but it's true, I was so busy trying to protect you that I forgot how alike we are, if were the opposite way then I'd do what you just did. But you gotta understand Jason, I'm just trying to keep you safe".

"I know bro', I just like making it hard for you".

John laughed. "I just can't stay mad at you can I?"

"Nope, I'm just too loveable, now, if you don't mind, I've got a monster headache and blurred vision, which you made worse with that slap by the way".

"Yeah.. sorry".

"It's cool, so I'd quite like to get home and sleep this off so can we go?"

"Yeah…yeah let's go home".

Wow! Trouble in paradise huh? Feels good to be back and I won't take so long to update next time.
