AJ stood in shock, fear filling her body as her knees trembled. "I knew you would be up." He said. "You're coming with me." His hand reached through the door and AJ let out a scream as she tried to close it.
"Phil, help!" AJ screamed as it was getting harder for her to push the door. Punk's eyes shot open as he heard AJ screaming. He quickly threw his clothes on and bursted through their bedroom door. Punk ran over to where he saw AJ trying to push the door closed, but someone was on the other side of it trying to push it open. He helped hold the door in place and looked at AJ.
"Go back to the room and lock the door." Punk calmly instructed her, as he put his weight on the door. "But what about-" AJ started. "Go. I'll be fine." Punk yelled. They looked at each other once more before she ran back to their bedroom and locked the door.
Punk swiftly stepped back and let the door swing open. He looked into the bloodshot eyes of Daniel Bryan. He had clearly been drinking. "What the hell are you doing here?" Punk asked angrily, clenching his jaw.
"Where's AJ?" Daniel asked, ignoring the question. "I have to talk to AJ." Daniel demanded, taking a step towards him. Punk knitted his eyebrows together and stared him down. "No, you don't." He snarled. "Don't even try going near her."
AJ had her back against the door. She started crying because she didn't know what to do. She slowly slid down so that she was sitting against the door. AJ shook as she heard them yelling at each other furiously.
"Get the fuck out of here!" She heard Punk yell. She crawled over to the phone. She wanted so badly to call, but then she remembered that if Vince heard about all this drama, they could all be separated from each other on different brands. The worst part was that she knew they wouldn't release Daniel or Punk, they would release her.
Suddenly, she heard a loud crash. It became quiet. Shaking, she got her cell phone and curled up beside the bed. After a few moments, she heard someone knocking on their door.
"AJ? It's me, Punk." He said. AJ sat there for a while, something wasn't right. Then AJ's mouth dropped in horror as her eyes watered. It wasn't Punk, that wasn't his voice. "Everything's alright, just open the door." He said, pounding on the door.
AJ tried her best to keep quiet as she crawled into the bathroom, locking the door behind her. "I know you're in there!" He said, in a creepy singing tone.
She quickly scrolled through her phone to find Maryse's number. AJ dialed it and Maryse picked up on the first ring. "What's up?" Maryse asked, all bubbly and happy.
AJ cried into the phone. "Can you guys please come to my room? Daniel's trying to get in and I.. I don't know what happened to Phil." AJ cried, completely letting out all the emotional buildup that she held in.
"We'll be there in a second, hang in there." Maryse promised, hanging up the phone. AJ held her face in her hands as she knew that the door wasn't going to hold much longer.
AJ froze in place when she heard the door fly open. She cringed at the sound of his footsteps and closed her eyes. "Oh AJ, you know I don't like playing hide and seek."
She could her her heart pounding through her ribcage. AJ held her breath as she saw his shadows in front of the bathroom door. "I know you're in there." He laughed, slamming his fists against the door.
Suddenly, she heard Ted's voice. "Back off, Bryan." She heard them going at it. She could hear the punches connecting and their bodies slamming against the walls.
Then she heard Maryse's heels clicking. AJ stood up and took in a deep breath before cautiously opening the door. She looked around before spotting Maryse. Maryse opened her arms, which AJ instantly ran into. "Punk.. is he-" Maryse nodded. "He's going to be fine."
They walked out of the bedroom and stepped into the main room. AJ ran over to Tyson and Natalya, who were crouched around Punk. "W-what happened?" AJ asked, getting choked up.
"Daniel threw a vase at his head. It knocked him out, but he's gonna be alright. He can take a hit." Tyson replied, looking over at his dazed former tag team partner. Natalya got up and hugged AJ.
"One of the medic guys were here and checked up on him. He'll be okay, just get him an ice pack and let him rest." She said soothingly, rubbing her back. AJ nodded and smiled.
"Thanks. All of you." She said quietly, looking back at Ted who just walked back in the room.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled. "He's gone." Ted said, walking over to the rest of the group. AJ smiled at him and thanked him once again.
AJ held the ice pack to his head as she pulled the covers over them. She sighed and got up out of the bed. She walked into the main room and gave the maid a tip for cleaning up the broken glass. She walked over to the door and made sure everything was locked.
When she turned around to head back to the room she heard a knock. She exhaled and walked towards the door, looking through the peephole. It was Beth. She rolled her eyes and walked back to their room. She didn't have time for Beth ruining her life. Yet, she had a few nagging thoughts about what Beth could have said.
She crawled into bed and looked at Punk. He had his eyes open and he smiled slightly at her. "You're alright." He said quietly, before closing his eyes again.
AJ smiled as she ran a hand through his hair. She thought of a familiar quote by Ian Sheperdson. "Things will likely get worse before they get better."
Maybe this was it, maybe things were going to get better after tonight. Or was it still the beginning of the worst?
Thanks for reading! Sorry it came out rushed, my body is hurting so bad from working out still. Please review if you can! Next chapter will be up! (:
