Chapter 6: Struggling.

It had been several months since the incident with jade and her cronies. At first things had been good, Brian and Jenny were able to work on their budding relationship which could easily crumble at anytime and with the things Brian knew it could happen much sooner than expected. He had more secrets that he was yet to tell Jenny, he had told he was changed, his life wasn't simple anymore. First it had been running away to start a team on the other side of the world, then it a failed abusive relationship and finally he got left alone with no family, he was on his own. Of course he knew if he told Jenny that she would get mad and tell him he was bullshitting. But knowing something and feeling something was two different things.

He knew he had Jenny, that they had strong feeling for eachother but it was had to feel the strength of those feelings when they had been betrayed once before. So Brian buried himself in work, which was why Brian found himself sat on the roof of the dorm building. He had just finished watching a friendly match between the English Lions and the Aussie roos. It was a good match but Brain wasn't watching it for fun, he was watching it to learn, to see the weakness and the strength of each team.

With a though Brain scribbled down so notes before looking out to the courtyard. He took a deep breath. In 3 days himself and Trixie would be returning to the UK and Jenny was Joining them this time. It was p to him to get his team getting ready for the season games, the pressure was mounting up. He had to do well he had to bring his team to victory, they had worked so hard and they most definitely deserved might of had his own shit to deal with that wasn't there problem. Suddenly his cell buzzed in his pocket.

Pulling it out of his pocket he looked to see he had a text from jenny asking where he was. He sent a reply and waited. A few moments later Jenny sat next to him, it took a second to notice as he continued writing his notes. Jenny began to awkward as Brian Ignored he and she had to resort to clearing his throat to get his attention. She watched as Brian smirked like it was some joke. "I now your there Matrix but i need to get this down before I forget it."

A few seconds later Brian tucked the book in his trousers before lying down with his arms outstretched. Jenny took his signal and laid next to him. The laid there in silence, before Jenny more her head to look at Brian, she then moved and kissed him. "Hey what wrong."

Brain took a deep breath. "Nothing really just stress, I mean this time next week we're going to be neck deep in training making sure that we are able to take down every team that we meet, if were not then it's on me."

Jenny eyed him for a second trying to think of the right words. "You know that's not true,I've seen you. The team seen and played with you. They know your doing everything you can to see that were ready whatever happens it won't be your fault, hell the rest of the world has 5 years plus more experience than us if we don't do well it just means we go to do better."

They weren't the right words. Brian stood up abruptly. Talking to the edge of the building. His back to her. " It's more complicated than that."

Brian took a breath. He had told anyone this, the team didn't know, it was just himself and Danny who had told him just before he left to come to VGHS. This knowledge didn't help matters it just added to the pile and in telling Jenny the secret he was about share was a way of hiding his lonliness. It was a short term fix but right now that was all he need before he found a way to put his head on straight. "Our team, the Kings were on probation. Our sponcers are dodge and have given us 2 very strict rules that if were going to become a true pro team we were going to have to follow. The first rule if that we have 5 memebers no more, no subs or anything, just a small limited team that managble with our budget. It was part of the reason we kept Jade around for so long." It wasn't, he had kept her around because as horrible as she was she archored him, giving him a centre to get his agression out...it wasn't pretty.

"The second rule was that in our first tourument we have to get to the semi finals. No one else know so please keep it quite I don't want to give them this pressure on top of everything else."

Jenny's eyes widened not out fear and worry for her dream, which was surpising, no her eyes widened because something had clicked in her head. Brian had snapped. He might of told her out right the 4 simple words made it clear. 'On top of everything else.' it all made sense. The team had no piles of crap to deal with, she had spoken to them in private...well with Trixie, as she had all the numbers and accounts which Jenny wasn't allowed to get until she was approved by Danny, it was a dumb rule but she understood, the team was underground and had to keep everything about their team quite. Accroding to Trixie, Danny track where calls were made and where the phones were. When Jenny questioned it as creepy Trixie assured her that it was only until they made their debut.

However with all her talks with the other team made it clear that the only person with any life issues was Brian. Everyone knew it even if he was very good at hiding it but the cracks were starting to show and it all started with the way he had acted ever since jade had showed up. At first she throught it was because he didn't want to lose, having the same drive she had. But now she knew it wasn't that. She knew that everything had got on top of him. The rules had been put in place were clear he was struggling.

Not wanting to show that she knew he was struggling and scare him depper inside of himself jenny wore a fake smile, standing up and taking both his hand which placed on her hips before pulled Brian in for a kiss, a kiss which was meant to give him the message that she was there for him. When they broke Brian looked at her with a lost expression not knowing the reason for the kiss. Then Jenny spoke. "Then we better win."

Brian nodded and pulled Jenny into a hug holding her tighter than he was meant to, holding her like he was going to lose her, only confirming Jenny supiousion. For the next hour they held eachother, then they decided to call it a night a return to there rooms. Brian to fill his brain with work and Jenny to fix of a way to help Brian, all she knew right now was that she needed the teams help.
