June 23rd. Tag Team Trials, Boston Mass
Tasmin stared at the monitor in disbelief. They replay what just happened. Remi attacking Adam Sanders. Her hands shake, her bottom lip trembles as she turns and bursts out from the locker room where she had been spending time to watch the show. She ran down the hallway towards the gorilla position, officials and members of the backstage crew stopped and looked at her as she darted back and forth.
“Adam?....has anyone seen Adam?....does anyone know where he went from here?”
Everyone seems to shake their head and look around with her. She moves down towards the active competitor locker rooms, her feet moving quicker and quicker before she moves into a full sprint, she turns down the hallways and stops in front of the door, as she reaches out to grab the handle a voice rings out.
“He ain’t in there kid…”
Tasmin turns and almost half smiles seeing her older brother Jaxon sitting on an equipment case. A lit cigarette in his hand as he reaches up and moves a few strands of hair from his face. Tasmin shakes her head and sighs.
“Do you know where he went?”
“I saw him grab his bag….but no...I have no idea….”
Her heart sank as Jaxon pushed off the case to his feet towering above his youngest sister.
“You care about him don’t you?”
She was caught off guard by the question but gave a small nod and smiled.
“Of course, he’s my friend….”
Jaxon laughed to himself and tilted his head sideways looking her up and down. Tasmin looked confused and raised an eyebrow.
“What?...”
“Friend?....you think I’m stupid Tas?...”
“We’re not-”
He raised his hand and shook his head, Tasmin stopped and bit her bottom lip, her eyes looking far off as her hands fumbled together still shaking as she seemed to slowly hug herself.
“He doesn’t know does he?”
She shook her head and avoided eye contact, Jaxon reached into his pocket and pulled out a credit card sliding it into her hand, Tasmin looked surprised and stared at it reading the name. Kayla Richards, she chuckled and smiled looking at Jax.
“Go find him kid….”
She smiled warmly and turned to walk away, she stopped and looked down again, her head and body turning back as she launched into a hug grabbing her older brother squeezing him tight.
“Thank you…”
He laughed and gave his baby sister a tender kiss on the top of her little blond head, She backed away and turned running down the hallway to get her bags. Jaxon tilted his head and sighed.
“Young love is a hell of a thing…”
