"Fuck!"
Paige screams. She can't believe this. Not any of this. Fuck.
She's completely lost control of herself, of everything. Her fists are spinning, hands knocking things off shelves.
By the time she's resurfaced, everything's in shambles.
"No...no..." Paige slides down the wall, dropping to the ground. She draws her knees to her chest and wraps her arms around them. "No..."
"Knock, knock."
That voice, that voice. That soft, child-like voice.
Paige lifts her head. "A-AJ?"
"Aw, sweetie, you're not crying, are you?" AJ Lee closes - and locks - the door behind her. She dances her way across the dressing room, sinking to her knees beside Paige. "Oh, Paige, sweet, beautiful Paige." She lifts Paige's chin with her index finger. "There's no need to cry, my precious little crumpet. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm not going to harm a raven hair on your pale head. I'm just here to console you, as a friend because we're best friends forever and ever and ever and ever!" She presses a kiss to Paige's cheek. "Right?"
Paige swallows and nods because that's the best thing to do in this situation - if she wants her limbs to remain intact, that is. "O-of course, AJ."
AJ frowns. "Why are you shaking? You're not... scared of me, are you? I mean... you'd have to think I'm crazy. Do you think I'm crazy, Paige?"
Paige shakes her head. "No, no I don't think you're crazy of course - AH!" A sharp pain spreads across her cheek as she finds herself looking at the opposite side of the room.
AJ jumps to her feet and yanks Paige from the floor. "I SAID, DO YOU THINK I'M CRAZY?!" She shoves Paige away, takes a step back, and launches herself at the younger woman. She proceeds to send punches at her face, bringing her fist down again and again and again until blood spurts from Paige's mouth. She throws her head back and lets out a deep breath. When she levels her head, there's a sweet, innocent smile on her face. "Ooh, someone's got a boo boo. Here, I'll kiss it for you, sweetheart." AJ leans forward and puts her lips on the split in Paige's lower one. She moves her head up, kissing Paige squarely on the lips, her hands on either side of her face. After a good 30 seconds, she rises. "How was that? All better now, right?" AJ giggles, "Love you." She blows a kiss and unlocks the door, throwing it open. "Bye now!" She skips out of view.
