Wassup? Welcome back once again, as we saw last time Jason has claimed that he's done and he's not going back to Smackdown, what lies ahead? Could a transfer be on the cards? Let's find out.

Here We Go!

Brotherly Hate-Chapter Fifty Three-Falling Apart

Despite Shawn's best attempts to persuade him otherwise Jason remained in San Antonio while HBK flew out to confront John on Smackdown, the teen's mind was on anything but wrestling right now although he had a set plan. Stay home and collect the paychecks until Teddy A. Fired him, or B. Let another company buy out his contract, he'd already decided against going to RAW, too many ego's and politics over there plus the fact that he was going to be working under Jonathan Coachman didn't really help him, with that in mind he had no choice to accept that there was no place for him in WWE. He and Mara were watching Smackdown; he wasn't really paying much attention when he heard John's music hit, he stood up straight away and left the room, Mara had expected this and let him go, it seemed better to let him get over things on his own rather than push him into talking, it tended to push him over the edge. She returned her eyes to the screen and glared at John, who was standing in the ring with a mic.

"Before I get started may I just say that I am feeling great tonight, that's right I feel great about myself and you wanna know why? Cause in the past week I managed to lose two hundred and twelve pounds of deadweight known to you people as Jason!"

Mara felt her fists clench, it was a good thing Jason wasn't watching, this could only get worse.

"Now I know you people want an explanation for my actions last week, for why I apparently 'betrayed' my brother, let me put it to you this way, Jason Cena was a leech! Pure and simple, from the day he walked in to the day I sent him out he leeched off of me just to make a name for himself. And I decide to remove that leech from my life and you people have the audacity to boo me? Let's look back, just over a year ago he walked in here and saw just how popular his big brother was and decided to hook himself up to the wagon, now he may say he interfered in the I Quit match to help me out because I'm family but the reality is this, he knew that the longer I held that belt the more exposure I got, and by hanging out with me that meant the more I got the more he got and that is why he helped me out!"

The crowd booed, Mara felt ready to explode, it was only the fat that it was Shawn's house that stopped her throwing something at the TV.

"The truth hurts doesn't it? But I'm sure that for me to say something like that then I need proof, and I have that proof, the 'Great American Bash' I defended my title against Christian, earlier that night Jason took on JBL, now I don't give a crap about JBL but I do feel for him, he went from wrestling for my WWE title to wrestling a seventeen year old BOY! What the hell was a seventeen year old doing wrestling a guy who had been champion for almost a year only a month a debuting? There's my proof right there, if he hadn't decided to leech off me then he wouldn't have been on the card, hell he would have been on Velocity where someone with his talent belongs! Not sharing a Pay-Per-View with me!"

This prompted the crowd to begin chanting 'JAY-SON'S BETTER!' at him, he lowered the mic and glared at them until they stopped.

"I strongly advise you not to chant that again, anyway later that night I defended the title against Christian and kept it with his help, I didn't need it but he thought it would make him look strong to see him helping me, and this is where he got devious, you see, he heard the reaction I was getting and he realised how popular I was, I was getting too popular, it was only a matter of time that I would reach heights that even Stone Cold and The Rock hadn't reached, and that's when jealousy kicked in, he had got it into his head that we should both be on the same level and it ate him up inside to see how big I was getting, so what did he do? He cost me the title! He prevented me from getting it back! And he tried to make it out that he was helping me! He cried crocodile tears and begged me not to cut him loose, not for family unity but because if I let him go then he would have to survive on his own and he is incapable of doing that. I fell for his trap, I took him back in, then I find that he's in a number one contenders tournament, a little convenient don't ya think? And that's when I started to figure him out, I had to make sure that either I won the tournament… or he didn't".

Mara immediately realised what he was saying, the final, the chain shot was it…?

"That's right, the chain shot in the final was deliberate, I cost him the title shot! I did it to stop him from earning a title shot that he did not deserve and I am damn proud of it! Afterwards I played the same trick he pulled, I claimed it was an accident, yeah right! Look at the tape, you can actually see me smiling after I hit him! So anyway, Jason realises he's now on the back foot, neither of us has the title so he can't get the mainstream exposure he wants, so he decides to feud with MNM for the tag titles and drag me along for the ride, he used me! Again! To get what he wanted, he even used his girlfriend, he made her go against her morals and take part in a bra and panties match to earn us our shot. We won the titles, thanks to me, and we defended them week in week out, we had a little feud with Melina and her boys where he put his girlfriend in harms way and allowed her to get attacked by all the people he had pissed off, so at Survivor Series, I decided to give him a taste of his own medicine, got myself disqualified and left him alone against three guys, but it turns out I chose the wrong three guys to rely on and he won".

The crowd now started a 'WE WANT JAY-SON!' chant, John laughed.

"Anyway, anyway this was when I got annoyed, I'd figured Jason out so I decided that, for the good of this show, I had to destroy my brother, I didn't want to, but he'd left me no choice. I cost us the tag titles to Christian and Tomko, you're welcome CLB, and I started turning his friends against him, then came my stroke of genius, I told Jason he had a choice, me or his so called 'friend' Shawn Michaels, I knew he'd choose me, because if he didn't then he'd have no-one to leech off, so he turned on Shawn and in doing so showed his true colours, he brought out the Jason Cena that I knew, that I grew up with and that I wanted the world to see, and see it the world did, the fans hated him, his friends hated him and all that was left was let him go!"

He burst into laughter, Mara almost burst into tears at what she was hearing, suddenly Jason's music hit, Mara sighed as the crowd went nuts then quickly went silent as they realised no-one was coming out, John laughed even harder before raising the mic.

"Sorry, couldn't resist, bit I want you people to remember this, because that is the last time you here that music, another piece of proof that Jason was a leech, he used my old music. But there is one thing I have to answer, one thing that I've been asked, do I love my brother? Yes, but just because I love him doesn't mean I won't do what I have to do".

He looked right into the camera.

"Jason, if you're watching listen very carefully. I love you bro' I can't help that, but if you come back, then you and Mom are gonna be reunited a lot sooner than you thought!" He pulled something out of his pocket. "Let me put it to you like this Jason, I have here a picture of me and you at your sixteenth birthday, your favourite memory of us outside of the ring right? Well this picture is an effigy of what you are to me now" he pulled out a lighter and set the picture on fire. "DEAD!"

It was a while before Mara felt she could go talk to Jason, she hated John right now, after his little rant Teddy Long had made a match between John and Shawn at No Way Out, but if Jason returned before the event then he would take Shawn's place in the match, Mara doubted he would want to but decided to try and see if she could persuade him to at least go back. He was in the spare room, reading the back of one of his DVD's, the one where he faced Chris Sabin, the night he got his WWE contract.

"Jason?"

He looked up. "He finished talking?"

"Yeah".

"OK" he stood up to walk out of the room.

"Jason there's something you should know".

"What?"

"Teddy's made a match between Shawn and John for No Way Out…"

"Good for Shawn".

"That's not it, he's put in a stipulation that you can take Shawn's place if you go back".

"That's a waste".

"Don't you even want to get some payback?"

He thought about for a second. "Nope, I'm good".

Mara decided to risk trying to push him. "But you need to go back".

"Why?"

"To stop what he's saying about you, he called you…"

"I don't wanna know what he called me".

"Look, you may have lost the will the live but I haven't, and I'm not gonna let some sicko get away with calling you a leech!"

"Look! I said I don't wanna know! I'm happier not knowing! I don't want to go back!"

"Well if I cost MY brother matches and turned his friends against him then he'd want revenge!"

"I DON'T! I don't want to go back! I don't want to fight him! He's my brother!"

"He doesn't consider you a brother, he even called you dead to him…"

"Stop It!" Before Jason could stop himself his hand flew up and wrapped round Mara's throat! He pushed her back causing her head to hit the wall hard and she cried out in pain, Jason let her go and backed away in shock, he looked in the mirror, seemingly terrified by what he saw.

"No, no, I'm not like him! I'm not!"

Mara stood up, he reached out to him but he backed away, he was still muttering something then suddenly burst passed her out the door down the stairs and out of the house before she could even move, she looked out the window and saw him racing up the street shaking his head as though trying to clear it. She did the first thing that came into her head, she pulled on her shoes and ran out after him.

After running for what seemed like an eternity Jason's body gave out from exhaustion causing him to drop to the ground, after a while he raised his head, he was lying on grass in a park somewhere, he raised himself up to a seated position and put his head in his hands, after a few moments the tears arrived, he made no effort to stop them.

"You alright kid?"

Jason looked up, a man was standing a few feet away, looking at him with concern.

"You alright kid?" He asked again.

"Yeah, just fine".

"Ya don't look it".

"Are you my handler or something? I said I'm fine".

"Alright, jeez calm down kid". The guy turned to leave then stopped. "Hey, aren't you Jason Cena?"

"I used to be".

The guy looked confused then walked away, Jason started to wipe his eyes then heard a voice behind him.

"Used to be? I must have the wrong guy".

Jason let out a small laugh and turned to see Mara watching him, she seemed a little out of breath but otherwise was OK, she sat down next to Jason.

"You gonna tell me what all that was about?"

"My Dad".

"Your Dad?"

"Yeah, you see when Dad left us it really hurt Mom, and John didn't like it so he went to confront him, he was only ten at the time, something happened, next thing Mom knew he was in hospital… The bastard had kicked the shit out of him! Mom was shocked that family could do that to each other, she made me and John swear to her that no matter how bad things got we would never fight each other, when she was dying she made me promise it again, he may not care for promises, but I do, the only thing that would make me break it is if he did something to someone I care about, I told Mom that, she understood but told me to at least try not to fight him, that's why I can't go back, if I did I'd be breaking that promise".

Mara nodded. "So what was with the whole, I'm not like him thing?"

"When I did that to you I remembered what Dad did to John, I was only two but I can still remember how badly beaten he was, when I grabbed you I saw his face in that mirror, I never want to be like him, I'd rather slit my throat than be like him".

Mara hugged him. "It's OK, you are in no way like your Dad, I can promise you that".

"Thanks" Jason's phone suddenly rang, it wasn't a number he'd registered so he was a little confused.

"Hello?"

"Is this Jason Cena?" The speaker had a slightly high-pitched voice and sounded a little familiar.

"Who wants to know?"

"I'll take that as a yes. Mr. Cena, I would like to make you an offer…"

Jason sighed. "Look pal, I'm not in the mood for this so I'll tell ya straight, I don't want to be on a cereal box, I don't want to wear the latest sportswear and my girlfriend does not want to appear topless on page three of your newspaper".

"Very funny, it's true what they say, but my offer concerns you, a wrestling ring and my promotion".

"Love to help buddy, but I'm contracted to WWE for the next year or so".

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean you can't jump to another brand".

Jason thought for a moment. "Oh, so Vince has give RAW a new GM has he? Sorry again, no disrespect whoever you are but I don't want to work with Hunter or Edge and I happen to like my Mondays off".

"Are Tuesdays good for you?"

"Huh?"

"I'm not the GM of RAW".

"What is Velocity becoming a separate brand or something?"

"Look, it was funny at first but your sarcasm is starting to annoy me, so shut up and listen because I think you'll find my offer EXTREMELY interesting".

Jason knew he'd heard that voice before. "Who is this?"

"My name is Paul Heyman, and I want you to come work for Extreme Championship Wrestling!"

End of Chapter
Well there ya go! Will Jason join ECW? Will something happen to make him break the promise? Only one person knows… and I'm not telling, until next time.
