A/N: Sorry for not updating in a while, guys. I've had this chapter on my phone for about a month, but I was trying to pre-write chapters also and I kind of forgot. Also my computer is shit and I keep forgetting to take it to get fixed. That's what happens when I try to illegally watch stuff. Just kidding. My computer was given to me by my brother, totally understand why it was free. Anyway, if this chapter seems messy, well it's not my fault, something is wrong with this website! Also, for those of you trying to say AJ and Punk broke up, seriously, just because they haven't been seen together in a while doesn't mean they broke up, and AJ is still being punished about Punk leaving. Did no one hear about that damn Divas match at WM? Anyway, enjoy the chapter!

I fold your t-shirt
And I stripped your bed
I left you perfect
But there's no appreciation
I listened sweetly to your sour tone
I loved you only
But there's no reciprocation
"That makes no sense," Nikki says, pacing back and forth in her and Alicia's hotel-room. Alicia is gone and it's just Nikki and Brie.
"But it does," Brie says, pacing the opposite of Nikki. She then stops and turns to her sister and puts her hands on her shoulders to stop her. "Think about it, Punk could've stopped the wedding any time he wanted to. He's said ever since he lost the WWE title back in January of last year he would leave the year after, well it came and he still was here. Now, his contract is about to expire, if he got fired Vince would have to pay him until his contract expires. But he didn't leave and you know he wants to get fired so Vince can pay him, so he wants us to think. He's obviously in it for the money! Think about it,"
Nikki thinks for a moment then gets it. "Oh my God!" She says starting to pace again. "That dick!"
Brie nods her head in agreement. "We need to tell AJ." She says.
"But we can't," Nikki says. "She's about to get her old job back, we can't do this, not now. She'll find out when she needs to find out and right now, she's moving on, she doesn't need to be set back."
Brie nods her head in agreement. "Yeah, you're right," she agrees. "Wait, what do you mean old job?"
"Oh yeah, I overheard Hunter and Stephanie talking about AJ getting her job back and feuding with Summer." Nikki says. "That's why AJ has been so happy."
"I thought we were feuding with Summer."
"We were, but now we're going to jump in the feud between Daniel and John."
"Us against each other?" Brie asks. "I thought you two broke up."
"We did," she says. "We're both on Daniel's side."
"But I thought Daniel was feuding with Punk." Brie says.
"No, Punk is feuding with Randy." Nikki says.
"What the hell?! I thought Randy was feuding with Mark."
"No, Mark is feuding with Brock!"
"I thought Brock was feuding with Show."
"No! Show is feuding with the Rhodes Brothers with Rey." Nikki says.
"I'm so confused, I need sleep." Brie says, leaving the room and back to her and Daniel's.
Before you came along
It was beautiful
I have nothing left
In my heart, in my soul

The next day is the Smackdown taping. Easy day for AJ. Making sure everyone is happy with their matches. Opens with Daniel getting mad at John about Nikki. Ending with Punk with Lita and Heyman vs. Randy where Randy wins. She still has to work her corporate type job until they get the teaser clips ready.
AJ is patrolling the halls, clipboard in one hand and phone in the other. She is on her way to Stephanie's office to look over the teaser footage they made the previous day when she bumps into someone.
"Hey, AJ,"
She looks up and sees Punk. "Yes?" She asks, trying to stay professional.
"Just wanted to say hi." He says. "Is that a crime now?"
"No," she says, glaring at him slightly. "I know that look on your face. I know you want to fuck me, but you're married and I'm a little busy right now. Get a divorce and maybe we'll talk." She says, pushing past him and walking down the halls, trying her best not to look back, since she already knows he's staring at her.
Should have never helped
You become so powerful
But I saw a champion in your eyes
June 9, 2014
"What the fuck?!" Is the question on everyone's mind after seeing the demented clip that was played on the titantron during Lita's match against Nikki just moments ago. The clip was of a box opened with spiders - black widow spiders to be exact - crawling out of it then cut to evil laughter then a male voice saying. "She's coming," then ending, distracting Lita long enough for Nikki to recover and to ignore the fighting between Brie and Paul with Punk somewhat helping and rolling up Lita and ending the match, angering the red head and her "husband" as she rolls out of the ring, helped by her sister.
The Superstars and Divas surrounding the TVs around the backstage area, all huddle closer as Lita gets backstage, pushing past anything that gets in her way, with Punk and Paul closely behind her, trying to find the one Diva she wants to destroy tonight. Not a Bella, not Tamina, not even Natalya. But the longest reigning Divas champion that always seems to ruin her life every chance she gets, even though most would say the opposite.
"Where is that bitch?!" Lita yells, clutching her championships protectively, noticing the woman she's been looking for skipping in the halls, clad in a skull black/white printed long sleeve blouse, black mini skirt, and black Converse. She skips to the angry champion happily.
"Yes, Amy?" AJ asks innocently, like nothing happened.
"You home-wrecking whore!" Lita yells, slapping AJ across the face hardly. "First you try to take my husband now you try to come back and take my job? Bitch, you aren't even on my level of talent or beauty!"
You don't care about me
If you did, you would let me go
You will eventually
'Cause you just don't care about me
You don't care if I die
If you did, you would have spared my life
I say it confidently
But you just don't care about me
AJ acts as if the slap didn't phase her, looking Lita in the eye. "Sweetheart, you can have Punk. As for your talent and job, I don't know what you're talking about. That clip was for a new former NXT Diva, she's been out on injury for a few months. And beauty? Okay, you may be a Total Diva, but I think we both know who is younger and prettier." She says, smirking. "Now, run along," she makes shooing motions and then pushes past Lita, walking to Stephanie and Triple-H's office where she is supposed to have a small meeting with them and the Miz.
"Lita literally tried to kill me back there." AJ says, rolling her eyes and trying not to make herself seem too angry. "She fucking slapped me!"
"Does she know the clips are yours?" Stephanie asks.
"She thinks it, but I told her it was a former NXT Diva who's been injured, which isn't technically a lie." She says, sitting down next to Miz on the couch that's near the desk in the room, crossing her arms across her chest and sighing.
"And she believed it?" Miz asks, almost sarcastically.
"Yeah, well sort of," she says.
"We'll just have to make it look more like Paige will be debuting than you coming back. Paige did leave NXT a few months ago due to injury, hopefully it'll be enough to make people believe that it's her, not you." Triple-H says.
"I think the black widows coming out of the box kind of set her off." AJ says. "Enough about Lita trying to beat the shit out of me just ten minutes ago. What's this meeting about?"
"It's about when you're coming back and when you two will be joining forces." Stephanie says, sitting on the edge of the desk.
"It'll probably be in two or three weeks. We already have the script ready." Triple-H says, handing them their scripts.
You say you're thirsty
So I pour the wine
The bottle's empty
But there's no
Before you cane along
It was all beautiful
I have nothing left
In my heart, in my soul
June 23, 2014
Tonight is the night. The night AJ has been waiting for since she was told she could come back. June 23rd, 2014 would be a night to remember in more ways than one, except AJ thinks that it's only going to go one way, ending in her happy ending, but others have plans.
AJ skips down the halls, she has a customized skull shirt, shorts, and her signature Converse, getting ready to walk out of the curtains again, something she hasn't done for a little over two months.
Lita begins talking about the clips that keep showing during her matches that end up making her lose, how Punk is "injured" and Paul is with him and people should give her sympathy, and how the former NXT Diva that wants to confront her should do it tonight. AJ's music starts and everyone stands up and cheers for the familiar music that hasn't been played in at a WWE Event in two months. About half way through the song, she still hasn't come out, leaving everyone confused and Lita a bit angry.
"AJ will never come back. Don't get your..." She trails off as the music starts again and AJ comes skipping out, standing on the stage soaking in all the cheers. She skips around the ring then climbs in, grabbing a mic and staring into the cold eyes of her former idol.
"Who missed me?" She asks, hearing everyone continue to cheer. "They didn't lie. I am a former NXT Diva that was injured that kept me from wrestling. But I'm back, and I'm not leaving again until I get what's mine." She looks to the Divas and Women's titles on Lita's shoulders.
"Think again little girl," she says, angrier than ever. "You're not getting my championships, you're not getting my job, and you're not getting Punk."
AJ scoffs, putting her hands on her hips and laughing. "Wait, you were being serious?" She asks, laughing again. "You can keep Punk, you can keep that greasy walrus, but you can't keep championships you don't deserve. Come Battleground, those championships will belong to Brie Bella because she's worked her ass off, after that her and I will go head-to-head while you go enjoy your shitty life with CM Punk." The crowd gasps then cheer at AJ's language.
Lita glares at her in pure anger and hatred. She smirks as her blond cast mate, Summer Rae, attacks AJ from behind while Lita rolls out of the ring and escapes through the crowd as AJ begins to get the upper hand. Fandango comes out leading the Miz to come out, a brawl breaking out in the ring until AJ and Miz get Summer and Fandango out. They high five as they glare at the Total Divas "couple".
After Summer and Fandango go backstage, so were Miz and AJ, but as they were walking up the ramp, a voice recording comes on the speakers. It's of moaning and instantly AJ knows what it is, but everyone else is confused. After the recording ends, her and Miz walk backstage where there is a lot of commotion.
Should have never helped
You become so powerful
But I saw a champion in your eyes
You don't care about me
If you did, you would have let me go
You will eventually
'Cause you just don't care about me
You don't care if I die
If you did, you would have spared my life
I say it confidently
But you just don't care about me
She makes it through the crowd of Superstars and Divas to Stephanie and Triple-H's office where Paul, Lita and Punk already are.
"I thought Randy beat the shit outta you on Smackdown." AJ says, looking at Punk angrily.
"He did," he groans. "But I'm not injured."
"What the hell was that?" Lita asks angrily, looking between Punk and AJ. "And I would like the truth."
"April, can you handle this?" Stephanie asks.
"Yeah," she says and Stephanie, Triple-H and Paul leave the room.
"The truth?" AJ asks, crossing her arms across her chest and pausing for a moment, looking at Punk. "The truth is it was from around the time the wedding plans started. After you guys got engaged. In my office. I guess someone bugged the room."
"Well, who?" Punk asks, obviously agitated by the whole situation, which is odd considering he enjoys chaos that stresses the McMahons out.
"I don't know, if I did we wouldn't be here!" AJ mutters bitterly.
"You fucked her a month ago?" Lita asks, almost angrily, then takes a deep breath. "Can you fix this?"
"I'll think of something," she mumbles. "I'm leaving now, I'll tell you when I figure out what the hell I'm doing."
Oh, baby, how we used to dance
I couldn't separate from your hands
Now they don't even play that song anymore
You don't care about me
She turns and swings open the door, storming out and to the Diva's locker-room, that only has Brie and Naomi in it since everyone else is intrigued by what happened out there just ten minutes ago.
"I need help," she says, sitting on the bench in the middle of the room, groaning and putting her head in her hands.
"About what happened?" Naomi asks.
"Yes," she says, looking up at the two Total Divas. "Lita wants me to fix everything. I told her I could. But truthfully, I don't think I can."
"Of course you can," Brie says, sitting next to AJ. "You've fixed other things. You can fix this."
"But those other things didn't involved me. I just made them go away." AJ says, sighing.
"We'll help you," Naomi says.
"Look, I can't make this go away." AJ says. "Everyone has heard it, it's out there. People can tell it's Punk and me."
There is a moment of silence, the three Divas brainstorming ways to make this go away. AJ suddenly stands up and walks out of the room, walking past many questioning Superstars and Divas, right to Lita's personal locker-room. She stands outside for a moment before knocking on the door, waiting for the red head to open it.
"We need to talk,"
No, don't care about me
No, don't care about me
You don't care about me
Don't care about me
At the end of the night, AJ and Lita meet Punk in Lita's locker-room.
"Have you two figured this out?" Punk asks.
"It was us on the tape, remember?" Lita says, her voice sounding happy but with a hint of pain. "Yeah, someone found out what room we were staying in and bugged it."
Punk looks past Lita to a happy faced AJ, who is trying to hide her pain with a forced smile.
"And, you know, AJ and I were just talking and we thought it'd be great if tried for a child." She says, turning and smiling at AJ who just nods and smiles. "We would tell everyone tomorrow, but we would need to continue to try, starting as soon as possible of course."
Punk's eyes can't leave AJ's kicked puppy look. The pain almost too hard to bear, AJ excuses herself as the couple hugs and leaves the room, going to the Divas locker-room when her phone begins to vibrate. She stops and takes her phone out of her pocket, seeing a message from Nikki. After reading it, AJ grips the phone tightly in her hand and spins on her heel, storming down the hall and pushing anything and anybody out of the way. She storms into Lita's locker-room, where Lita has disappeared and is just Punk and Paul talking. Without either of them noticing her standing in the doorway. She storms up to Punk and spins him around and slaps him hard across the face before slapping Paul and yelling. "Assholes," then running out of the room.
You don't care about me
If you did, you would have let me go
You will eventually
'Cause you just don't care about me
You don't care if I die
If you did, you would have spared my life
I say it confidently
But you just don't care about me
A/N: The song used was "You Don't Care About Me" - Shakira. Now, the questions for this chapter.
Who bugged AJ's office? Was it Paul? Lita? Nikki? Hell, was it Brie?
Is AJ happy?
