He knocked a couple times & didn't know why but he spoke up through the door. "Jade hun it's Shawn, open up hun." He heard the door knob & it slowly open allowing him to enter. After he came in he heard it closed seeing Jade leaning against it her head down but he could still see the tear streak on her face. "Dear lord hun what's wrong?" He went to take step towards her.
"Please stop." He quickly froze in his tracks if anything taking a step away. She moved around him he watched as she gave a wide berth moving to the sitting area & into one of the chairs. He turned looking at her.
"May I sit?" She nodded & he moved to the chair across from her. She had a hard time lifting her head to look at him. "Brooks?" She just nodded. "Did he hurt you?"
"Not…physically."
Shawn gave a slow sigh. "Emotionally he did though?"
"He cheated on me…I don't know how many times. I don't care how many times…even once is enough. He then tries to justify himself. When I didn…When I didn't want to listen he then tried to force himself into the room & against me till I would listen."
"Force against you?"
"He grabbed me forcing his way into the room."
Shawn closed his eye trying not to shake his head. "He didn't do anything else though?"
"He had me pulled against him. I couldn't move, I was panicking…sadly…remembering."
"That's why you didn't want someone with me?" She lightly nodded. "I understand hun."
Jade sighed "He must of mistook my panic for…" she looked like she was going to be sick. "Arousal because he tried to kiss my neck. Luckily when I managed to find my voice to tell him to stop he did."

"Good at least he isn't a total prick. Are you ok now though?"
"Just as long as he stays away from me."
"I'll try to help with that. Look Paul & were going to grab a bite. Think you up to it?"
"Better then being cooped here moping. Give me 5 to freshen up."
"Take 10 if you need to. Sure you can handle Paul?"
"Yeah I just needed someone I could talk to about this before I faced him."
"Glad you felt you could with me hun."
"Yeah me too Shawn." She stood up walking over to him giving him a quick hug before heading into the bathroom.

While she was away Shawn called Paul's phone. "Hey Paul…yeah she will be ok…just fight between her & Brooks…I can't go into details…yes I am playing rev. Michaels here at the moment…just be nice with her…I know you are. The only other thing I am going to say is limit trying to touch her unless she approaches you first…she cleaning up…no she was not injured but upset…about 5 man….See you then." He hung up the phone waiting for her & then they headed out.

The next day after breakfast in her room she informed Paul she was heading to the arena early she wanted to watch them finish up the Chamber before it got raised & maybe work in the arena gym for a while. When he asked about dinner she said she can always munch catering. She was working in the gym when she started to hear more people showing up. She didn't need to wait long to find out who when she heard someone behind her.
"How you doing Jadie?" Spoke Randy as he touched her shoulders. He felt her jump & she quickly turned around almost in defense. He saw a look he didn't like in her face & eye. "Whoa Jadie." She sighed closing her eyes relaxing her stance.
"Sorry Randy."
"Not a problem didn't mean to startle you, what's wrong?"
She opened her eyes looking at him. "Who said anything was wrong?"
"Your reaction." He stepped closer keeping his voice down so Cody & Ted wouldn't hear them. "Almost the way you jumped after Trips hurt you before. So please don't tell me nothing is wrong?" Her eyes shifted to Randy & she could see the softer side of him that few got to do.
"Just a fight with Philip. Before you are he didn't hurt me."

"Just he scared you?" Jade's eyes shifted down a moment. "It's ok Jadie you don't need to say it." He gave a faint chuckle "Shame I'm not in the chamber with him tonight." Jade faintly laughed at that one. "That a girl, that the smile I like."
"Randy cut it."
"Cut what? I'm just being a concerned friend."
She lifted her head looking at him. "As long as that is all it is."
He lifted his head looking slightly down as her trying to get his cocky air to him his voice a faint bravado to it.
"And what exactly else do you think it would be?"
She gave a huff returning the same attitude. "You trying to flirt with me Mr. Orton. Think you can just swoop in picking up the pieces."
Randy thought a moment before the attitude fade looking down then turning his head up towards her. "You know I wouldn't do that Jadie…I know we just good friends. Even if I wanted to I wouldn't do that to you."
Her mock behavior faded giving him a smile & a nod.

"I know…Thank you Randy." She stepped closer to him a hand under his jaw moving his head to look at her normal. "Than you for being a good friend when I need one." She leaned closer kissing his cheek she let it linger for a moment before backing enough to whisper in his ear. "Even if at one time you did want more." She had her eyes closed as she back up more. "We need to talk after the show." She smile opening her eyes. "OK?"
"Yeah not a problem. Though I don't know fully the mood I'll be in after my match."
"Fully understandable. I'll catch you later." She gave him a light hug before she went to grab her bag walking of out the gym. He just watched as she walked away.
"So anything between you two?" Asked Ted when he & Cody walked over.
"No…Nothing." Randy quickly answered in his typical cold manner.
"OK So can we go focus on tonight then."
"Yeah of course." Randy turned back to the two guys moving with them to work out while doing over different plans for the night.
