TWENTY EIGHT
Austin jumped up and jerked the backstage door open. "Where the hell is Adam? I swear to God..."
"Austin stop. AUSTIN! STOP!" Olena yelled after him. She finally managed to grab his arm and drag him back outside.
"What the hell Olena? I need to find Adam and beat the truth out of him." Austin huffed as he pulled his arm out of Olena's grasp.
Olena blocked the door. "Will you just listen to me for a minute? You only have a little while before VIP and the concert. You don't have time right now to get into this. Do you really need to get into an argument with Adam and possibly Tim right before a show? Take a deep breath, calm yourself down and lets do this later. Okay?"
"Shit! I guess you're right. We don't need to be all emotional and mad at each other right before a show." Austin admitted. "You know the Fries can sense the smallest changes."
Olena giggled "Yes, the Fries can. They're quite perceptive."
"Okay, let's go get ready. We've got a show to do." Austin yelled as he pumped his fist in the air.
An hour later all the guys were hanging around in the stage wings waiting for Nate to bring in the UVIP guests. Austin was trying to act normal but he couldn't stop thinking about what happened earlier. He saw Adam talking to Tim to like nothing had happened and he could feel his face getting red with anger. Thankfully Olena noticed and whispered some calming thoughts in his ear just before he had to meet the fans.
There was about a ten minute break between the UVIP session and the beginning of the regular VIP session. Austin was talking with Rob and Chance when he noticed Adam and Tim hiding in the corner. They had their arms around each other and Adam appeared to be whispering to Tim while Tim was leaving kisses on Adam's neck. He excused himself from the conversation and went looking for Olena.
"I can't do it." Austin said as he walked up behind her. "I can't watch them like that knowing Adam was just cheating on him."
"Austin, will you please take a deep breath? Once the concert starts your mind will be occupied and you won't have time to think about it for two hours." Olena reassured him. "Just please try to act normal. Well, normal for you."
"I'll try. But so help me after the show Adam is mine." Austin grumbled. Olena rolled her eyes as she walked away. She knew she needed to be with Austin when he talked to Adam or things might get ugly.
Austin thought he had acted perfectly normal through the Q&A session but Olena told him that he had frowned or scowled almost every time Adam spoke.
"Well, Adam doesn't speak during the show so we should be good." Austin smirked as he walked away. Olena was seriously worried about the show tonight.
Austin was not looking forward to tonights pre-show ritual. Jenika had only been on tour with them for a week but she had already become a part of their little group. The first night she was backstage before a show she gave Adam and Tim both a kiss on the cheek for good luck right before they went onstage. The other guys, himself included, complained about not getting a kiss. Each night since then she has kissed each guy on the cheek before they hit the stage. Austin wasn't sure he could stomach it tonight. He'd have to dig up his acting roots to get through this.
Right on cue, there was Jenika at the side of the stage giving each guy a good luck kiss. Austin did his best to not recoil in disgust when she kissed him.
TJ was sittting in the sound booth tonight so Jenika stood just off stage in the wings and watched the guys perform. She would occasionally catch one of the guys looking over and make faces at them.
The show was going great and Austin was proud of himself for keeping it professional. He kept his cool during intermission and chatted with the guys like nothing was wrong. He still couldn't believe that Adam didn't show an ounce of guilt when he was around Tim.
Austin didn't want to watch Adam's solo tonight so he sat in a dark corner where no one could see him. Unfortunately, he could still see too much. He caught some movement out of the corner of his eye and realized it was Jenika and Tim. Tim was holding Jenika at her waist while Jenika had her arms around Tim's neck and was whispering something in his ear.
"Seriously?" Austin mumbled to himself. "She was just screwing around with Adam earlier and now she's cuddled up to Tim. What in the actual fuck?" Austin really wished Olena was there to calm him down but she was taking pictures of Adam.
Austin managed to contain his temper and finish the show without incident. All he had left was the contest winner and the signing line, he could do this. He didn't have to act happy when meeting the contest winner because she was just so excited that she made everyone else excited too. Thankfully they ended up at opposite ends of the table for the signing line. Austin didn't even have to hear his voice.
Once the signing line was finished each of the guys headed back to their dressing rooms to pack up their stuff. Jenika started her nightly ritual of getting TJ to bed on the bus. Austin packed much quicker than normal, threw his stuff on the bus, told TJ goodnight and headed back in to see Adam.
Austin headed back inside to find Adam, hoping he was still in his dressing room. He passed Rob, Chance, and Tim on his way back in and was glad they would be out of ear shot in case this got loud.
Olena saw where Austin was headed and decided that she would wait just outside the door. That way she could hear what was going on but still play interference if someone tried to interrupt them.
Adam answered the door quickly after Austins knock. "Come on in. You need something?"
"Yeah, I need you to tell me WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!" Austin started out calm but was screaming by the time he finished sentence.
Adam just stood there in shocked silence with no idea what Austin was talking about.
