Chapter 10

Monday Night.

Adam smirked as he went on and on about beating Batista at Night of Champions. "Now he is out of my life FOREVER!" He yelled laughing as he dropped the microphone, striking a pose. He climbed out of the ring as began backing up the ramp way as the fans booed him. He smirked until it fell from his face when Batista's entrance theme blared loudly throughout the arena, the WWE Universe on their feet as Batista advanced on Edge slowly.

Edge swallowed hard, beginning to back down towards the ring, walking turned to jogging, to running in hopes of getting away from the pissed off Animal to no avail.

Dave caught him; tossed him into the guard rail several times, slammed his head off the commenter table, threw him into the steel ring steps, and then tossed him in the ring.

Edge made an attempt at trying to crawl away as he begged Dave to stop. No. Dave picked him up and nailed him with the Batista bomb, knocking him out as his head bounced off the mat, and everything went black as Dave exited the ring.

"Ready for part one?" Jeff asked as Phil nodded. "Aren't you supposed to be on Smack down now?" Jeff shrugged. "Isn't your Boy toy?" Phil smirked as he picked up his briefcase walking up the stairs. "Hey ref! I need you."

"Good Luck Phil!" Jeff called hoping Phil heard him.

Dave turned and started walking when KSE's "This Fire Burns" blared throughout the arena cutting off Batista's theme as CM Punk came running down the ramp, briefcase in hand, Ref close on his heels.

Edge was just coming to as Punk slid in the ring, handing the Ref his briefcase, jumping around as though excited.

"CM Punk is cashing in his Money in the Bank Brief case! This match is set for one fall, and it is for the World Heavy Weight Championship!" 'Oh god no!' Edge thought, trying to wake up, to slide through the bottom rope and run, but Punk grabbed him, pulling the lanky blonde over his shoulders.

He tossed him off, slamming his knee into Edge's head, as he hit the mat completely out of it. Punk covered the unconscious champion.

1... 2... 3...

"Here is your Winner and the NEW WORLD HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPION!" Lillian Garcia's voice rang out trying to be heard over the thunderous screams and applause of the WWE Universe.

The ref held CM Punk's hand up, giving him the World title as he celebrated grinning from ear-to-ear.

Adam couldn't believe it... Punk... Phil had betrayed him and had taken his title. He rolled out of the ring, crawling to the back, and hand on his head as fans yelled, jeered, booed, and laughed at him.

As he broke through the curtain heading towards the parking lot, just wanting to get the hell out of the arena, Jeff Hardy of all people grabbed his arm, holding him still.

"What?" Adam yelled trying to pull away but Jeff shoved him against the wall.

"Let go of me! He fucking betrayed me! Took what he wanted then turned his back on me! He used me! He said he loved... he lied! He lied to me! He fucking lied to me!" Jeff listened to Adam's uncontrolled babbling as his chest was wracked with sobs.

Jeff frowned. Seeing Adam like this broke his heart, poor guy really thought Phil turned on him, thought that Phil had used him.

"It's part one of our plan! He needed you to be unaware of it so you sold it well, and you did! It worked, the hard part is over!" Jeff tried to tell him but Adam would have none of it.

He shoved at Jeff's chest, only for Jeff to hold him against the wall, using all of his body weight, struggling as Adam fought back. Luckily for Jeff, John Cena was coming around the corner and saw the struggle.

He sped up, grabbing a hold of Adam, slipping his muscular arms around Adam's, holding them straight down, Jeff grabbing Adam's jean clad thighs to hold him still as he attempted to kick him, and slam his heel into John's shins.

"Calm down!" John hissed into Adam's ear, "No! He fucking used me!" Adam hissed continuing to struggle.

Phil sighed as he rushed to the back, grabbing a "CM Punk" T-shirt on the way. He pulled it on as he almost collided with the supposedly injured "Legend Killer" Randy Orton.

"Whoa... hey Orton... You see Jeff or Cena around here...?" he asked as Randy shrugged. "Yeah I saw Jeff chase Copeland into the parking garage area..." he started but Phil cut him off. "Let's go!"

Phil took off out the exit, racing to find to find Adam before it was too late. Randy followed keeping up with Phil as they entered the parking garage. What they saw was John and Jeff struggling to hold a sobbing Adam still.

Phil dropped the world title, racing over to Adam throwing his arms around him. Adam growled shoving Phil off him, sending the Straight Edge Superstar to the cement floor. Phil looked up in shock, remaining where he was as he took in the site of Adam.

Red rimmed teary eyes, tear stained face, hair a mess, one hand held to his head, no doubt where Phil nailed him with the GTS, the other clenching and unclenching in anger. John blocked Adam's car, Jeff blocked the other exit, and Phil still sat on the floor in shock as Adam leapt over him, his long legs being a bonus to him.

He took off for the arena, as Randy (who stopped to pick up Phil's newly won World title) caught Adam, wrapping his arms around him. "Where's the fire?" he asked chuckling as Adam tried to get away. Randy was able to hold on to the raging upset spitfire until Jeff and John reached them, taking control as they dragged him back to Phil.

"No! He used me! He lied to me!" Adam sobbed trying to pull away to no avail. Phil, hearing Adam's outburst, pulled himself to his feet, slipping his arms around Adam from behind, holding him firmly enough to keep him there, yet gently enough so as not to hurt him.

"Adam calm down..." Phil murmured softly in his ear, so soft Jeff barely heard, and the only way he knew Phil had talked was because he saw his lips move.

"I didn't lie to you. I DO LOVE YOU... You are my life... you're the reason I exist, the reason I breathe... This was part of our plan... I swear to you! That Title... means nothing compared to you... I'd give it up. Step two of our plan you WILL be in on. I just needed a natural reaction. I wasn't counting on the big dummy coming out and going Apes hit on you..." Phil continued quietly as Adam began to relax slowly, but surely, until he was leaning back against Phil's chest.

"b-but... you... the... I don't get a-anything... h-how's this f-fit into y-y-your pl-plan..." Adam murmured trying to keep his voice steady, failing immensely.

Phil sighed placing a kiss to the back of Adam's neck. "Here isn't the best place to talk about it. How's about John, Randy and Jeffy meets us later in my Hotel room and we can happily explain. Hmm?" he murmured against Adam's neck.

"Oh-Okay" Adam mumbled releasing a sigh as his body trembled. "Okay" Phil agreed rubbing Adam's stomach gently, resting his cheek against Adam's back. "How's your head? I didn't mean for it to be that hard..."

"... hurts... my whole body hurts..." Adam mumbled as Phil sighed. "Let's get you to the room so I make it better. Kay?"

"Kay..."
