Chapter 53


Punk and AJ spent the week in New York shopping and just enjoying down time. AJ was having the time of her life and since she hadn't heard anything about Scott Page she assumed he was just backing off and maybe she was worried for nothing. But of course Punk knew better. Colt had called and let him know there was nothing picked up on security footage and the room after the nursery had been trashed. Colt promised the room would be re-done by the time they would be home. Colt was working around the clock with Punk's family and all were working hard to keep AJ in the dark. Her high blood pressure concerned not just Phil but her doctor as well. He promised he would carry this burden on his own for as long as he could. They were headed to the arena for Night of Champions and AJ could tell something was off about Punk. He was a lot of things in their relationship but 'clingy' was never one of them. She had assumed once she became pregnant he would be a tad more attached but this was overkill. He would barley let her out of his sight. The entire time in New York she thought he was just enjoying there rare time together but he was bothered by something and his silence spoke volumes.

"Are you sure you're alright?" AJ questioned as they got out of the rental car they took the arena

"Yea why?" Punk asked slinging his bag over his shoulders

"You seem distant" AJ noticed and he smirked at her

"Distant? We've been attached at the hip for a week now" Punk reminded her grabbing her bag as well

"I mean emotionally" AJ clarified "Is there something going on? Something you're not telling me"

"AJ you have nothing to worry about" Punk assured her sternly

"That's not what I asked" AJ said folding her arms

"We've got to get inside" Punk said nodding his head towards the entrance not wanting to lie to AJ directly but would if he had to

"Ok" AJ muttered following him "Do you know what you're doing for your match tonight?"

"No I've got to see Jeff" Punk said to her "Let's go find him"

"Why don't you go ahead I really want to Kaitlyn" AJ told him as Punk looked at her with uncertainty "I'll be fine" She said with laugh

"Ok" Punk unwillingly agreed "Just keep your phone on you and meet me back at the locker room in half an hour"

"Deal" AJ said heading towards the Diva locker room and Punk watched as she walked in


Punk headed to the men's locker room to meet up with Jeff and go over the match a bit. But clearly his head was somewhere else and even Jeff picked up on it.

"You alright?" Jeff questioned

"Why?" Punk asked

"I'm talking but I don't think you hear a word I'm saying" Jeff pointed out "I know you have a lot on your mind but this is a big match-"

"-my head is in the game. Once my music hits and I'm out there my only focus is my job. Don't worry I'm not going to make you look bad" Punk told him rather coldly

"It's not me I'm worried about looking bad" Jeff said folding his arms

"Like I said my head is in the game" Punk repeated

"Fine man" Jeff said not wanting to get into a argument with him "You look like you haven't slept in days"

"I never sleep" Punk reminded him

"This is like a different level even for you" Jeff said eyeing him up and down

"How would you know?" Punk questioned "We're not friends"

"I've worked with you long enough" Jeff said to him "I'm sure this has to do with that lunatic who has it in for you and AJ. You should really rest easy because this is probably the safest place for her to be. Security in this place is tight and no one would let her get hurt"

"I know" Punk muttered

"Maybe take a nap or something we still have a few hours" Jeff offered

"I'll be fine" Punk told him shortly "I'll see you out there"


Punk stormed out of the locker room making sure to slam the door as hard as he could behind him. He didn't have time for Jeff to be second-guessing him but deep down he didn't blame the man. Punk was defiantly off of his game and there was no denying it. He headed down an empty hallway and leaned his against the wall trying to catch his breath for the first time in a week.

"Hey man" the voice of his friend startled Punk at first

"Hey" Punk managed to let out without biting his head off

"You alright?" Kofi questioned "Never mind don't answer that I already know the answer. I can see it all over your face"

"I always look like this" Punk muttered

"Nah" Kofi said with a smile "Normally you look angry but tonight you look scared"

"Scared?" Punk asked with a laugh "I don't scare easily"

"I know" Kofi agreed "That's why I'm now scared. What's going on?"

"It's nothing man" Punk said running his hands over his face

"Let it out you'll feel better" Kofi insisted "Seriously what's up? You have another run-in with this guy?"

"I wish" Punk admitted "I would love to run my fist into his face"

"So what is it? It seems quiet on that front" Kofi said to him folding his arms

"He broke into my house" Punk told him "He trashed the baby's room"

"Are you joking?" Kofi asked in an almost disgusted voice

"I wish" Punk said with a groan "I haven't told AJ because I don't want her worried. I also haven't told her about the message Paul left me"

"Is that wise?" Kofi asked

"I don't know" Punk shrugged "It feels like the right thing. She can't be getting stressed out"

"So you have decided to just stress yourself out completely and keep her in the dark" Kofi said to him "I don't know man, she'll be pissed if she finds out"

"No she'll be more scared than she already is" Punk told him "I don't want her to be scared anymore I have to do right by her"

"Alright I'm not judging" Kofi said defeated "But I'm worried about you too"

"I'm fine" Punk told him "I actually wish Scott would take all this anger he has for AJ and direct at me. I can handle that, I've dealt with professional jealousy my entire career"

"This isn't just professional jealousy" Kofi reminded him "This thing between the two of them has been there for years. It's sick but it's probably something he's been dwelling on since she left him"

"I'm not good at this" Punk admitted to his friend "Being a husband and now a father soon-"

"What are you talking about?" Kofi asked cutting him off "You've gone above and beyond"

"No I haven't" Punk said shaking his head "And most importantly I don't know how to fix this. I don't know how to keep her safe. I've never had to worry about anyone before like this. And now it's my job and I'm completely unprepared"

"It's an instinct Phil" Kofi told him "An instinct you have for all the Divas and an instinct you've had for AJ in particular since the day you met her. There's no wrong or right way to do this, there's no manual"

"I'm scared" Punk finally admitted to Kofi "I don't think I can protect her"

"What are you talking about?" Kofi asked now even more concerned

"I keep having these dreams like the one I had on the bus last week and she dies every night" Punk told him "Right in my arms. I'm always too late. Like I was too late every time he got to her backstage, like I was too late when he got to her on the bus- I can't catch this guy"

"Those are just dreams" Kofi told him "That's it"

"It's my reality" Punk countered "Every night I close my eyes and I know she's going to die that's why I can't sleep. I don't want to sleep, I don't want to have that picture in my head"

"I get this guy is off of his rocker but I don't think he'd kill her" Kofi said to trying to think of anything to ease his friends fears "He's just trying to scare her"

"That's what I thought" Punk said to him "Not so much anymore"

"You need to get this out of your head man" Kofi told him shaking his own head "I know you can't forget about it but don't play so much into his game"

"How can I not?" Punk asked raising his voice "This man broke into my home! He has nothing to live for and nothing to lose! I'm out of options here. The cops can't prove anything is him all I have is my gut feeling, he doesn't care about the restraining order and we're living like two criminals on the run from the law!"

"I wish I knew what to tell you" Kofi said to him sadly "I just don't know"


"It's so weird" AJ was filling Kaitlyn in on Punk's overly protectiveness over the past week. "And I know he's not sleeping because I get up a lot at night and he's always up when I am"

"He's worried" Kaitlyn shrugged not giving it much thought

"I thought by agreeing to not go home he would be more at ease but it seems to have had the opposite affect" AJ sighed "I just want him to be happy and he's not"

"You know how he is" Kaitlyn said to her "He's prone to weird moods as it is but with this wacko stalking you it's just pushed him a little more. You said nothing has happened right? You haven't heard or seen Scott?"

"Not a peep" AJ confirmed

"So maybe he'll start to calm down himself" Kaitlyn said trying reassure her friend "Also you're having a baby and that's got to be playing on his emotions as well. Give him a little time he's adjusting to a lot"

"I just want him to open up to me about it though" AJ told her "I never keep anything from him"

"Hey you knew the deal when you said 'I do'" Kaitlyn smirked "Punk has never been open and talkative"

"He is with me" AJ said with a frown "Sometimes it takes a few days but he always cracks"

"Give it some more time" Kaitlyn told her

"I guess I don't have much of a choice" AJ shrugged

"Have you been having anymore nightmares?" Kaitlyn questioned

"Not really. A few here and there but for the most part I've been sleeping pretty well" AJ told her

"Well Phil is doing his job then" Kaitlyn smirked "Just stay positive especially around him"


Punk was leaving a production meeting when he saw a few of the Diva's chatting. He was passing by them unnoticed when something caught his attention coming from Eva Marie.

"….he was sitting right at the next table" Eva told Brie and Natalya

"And you're sure it was Scott Page?" Natalya asked

"Yes!" Jojo the other newer diva responded "He sent us over dessert"

"You didn't talk to him did you?" Brie questioned

"No." Jojo told him quickly "He looked weird"

"Totally weird" Eva confirmed "I mean what are the odds of him being at a restaurant right across the street from this arena?" That's all Punk needed to hear before he quickly headed out of the arena without speaking to anyone

"Did you tell anyone?" Natalya asked

"No, do you think we should?" Jojo asked the veteran Diva

"Yea absolutely you heard what Mr. McMahon said" Natalya reminded her

"What did you all do?" Daniel Bryan asked with a laugh approaching the girls

"What are you talking about?" Brie asked giving her boyfriend a smile

"I just saw Punk storm right out of the arena and he was right here with you guys" Daniel smirked teasing the girls "Too much girl talk?"

"Punk was here?" Brie asked alarmed

"Do you think he heard us?" Natalya asked the other girls

"Heard what?" Daniel questioned

"Jojo and Eva saw Scott a few minutes ago" Brie told him and now Daniel was sporting a serious look

"Where was he?" Daniel asked the two

"Across the street at the restaurant" Jojo told him nervously

"I think he overheard us" Natalya told him

"We should tell Mr. McMahon" Jojo said nervously

"I'll take care of it" Daniel assured them pulling out his own phone and searching for Hunter's number "Just go back to the locker room and make sure you don't mention this to AJ alright?"

"Ok" Brie said to him leading the other girls to the locker room


Punk entered the restaurant and started scanning the area. It was pretty empty for dinner hour so it didn't take long for him to find Scott Page sitting by himself. His back was towards the entrance but Punk knew it was him. Punk headed straight for the man and tried to contain his first urge to grab him by his neck and toss him threw the window. He instead crossed over the room and took the empty seat across from him. And smiled as Scott Page looked up at him.

"Phil" Scott said coolly almost as if he had been expecting him.

"I want to talk to you" Punk said trying to control his voice

"So talk" Scott offered with a small "I'm all ears"

"Not here" Punk told him "Outside"

"Outside where there are not witnesses? No thank you" Scott said with laugh "I'm not that stupid"

"You think I care if there are witnesses?" Punk threatened

"You should" Scott told him "You have a match in a few hours and I'm sure you don't want to disappoint all those people who paid to see you"

"I couldn't care less about that" Punk retorted "Do you remember what we talked about when you got arrested?"

"Yup" Scott said with a nod "What of it?"

"I'm sticking to my word" Punk warned "And now you're either going to stand up and walk outside or I'm going to drag you out. The choice is yours"

"How's AJ?" Scott asked ignoring what Punk said completely "She been thinking about me? I'm hoping to see her tonight" he smiled "I've got something for her that I think she'll absolutely-" Scott could finish his sentence because Punk had grabbed Scott by his collar and physical dragged him from the restaurant. Punk saw a couple of the employees reaching for their phones and dialing the police but he couldn't worry about that right now. Punk shoved Scott roughly to the floor and punched him across the face

"You think this is funny!" Punk yelled out picking Scott half way up by the collar shaking him slightly "I'm not falling for this little game!"

"Really?" Scott questioned laughing as blood started to trickle down from the corner of his mouth "You just played right into my hands" as he finished his sentence Punk hit him again across the face "I hope Vince isn't going to be too pissed at you for missing your big match or AJ" he said with a chuckle "Don't worry I'll check in on her tonight, I've got big plans" Scott was hit with another hard blow to the side of his face and now more blood came from his mouth and he was now defiantly missing a tooth. Punk could hear police sirens in the distance and knew his time was almost up. He smiled wickedly and started to punch the injured man over and over again.

"Phil!" Hunter yelled making his way over with Kofi and Daniel not far behind "Stop!" Punk ignored his boss but didn't put up much of a fight when Kofi and Daniel pulled him off of Scott who seemed to have enjoyed the beating he took. He gave the men what would have been a toothy smile expect his teeth like the rest of his mouth was covered in blood

"You are so stupid" Scott said with a laugh as the cop car drove up to the scene

"Nobody move" The officer instructed getting out of his car with a partner "Are you ok sir?" the officer asked Scott who shook his head no

"This man attacked me!" Scott said pointing at Punk "I want him arrested!"

"It was a misunderstanding" Hunter said trying to intervene

"No it wasn't" Scott said to the officer "Look at this fists! They're all cut up!"

"This guys is a little unstable" Hunter told the officer ignoring Scott's comments "I'd be happy to sit down with you and explain everything"

"I'd rather hear it from him" The officer said pointing to Punk

"He was defending himself" Kofi said standing next to Punk

"Did he attack you first?" The officer asked Punk who was completely zoned he just kept his eyes on Scott Page as he tried to stand on his own two feet "I'm talking to you!" The officer shouted getting Punk's attention

"He threatened my wife" Punk told him

"Like I said I can explain all of this" Hunter said trying to defuse the situation

"Nothing to explain he attacked me unprovoked asked any of the witnesses inside!" Scott yelled. Yup Punk had falling right into Scott's trap.

"You need to stay with AJ tonight" Punk told Kofi and Daniel knowing he was about to get arrested "This is what he wanted me out of the picture to get to her don't let her out of your sight"

"It's going to work out" Kofi whispered

"It's not, just promise me" Punk told him as he watched the officer walk over to Scott Page

"Sir we need to know-" The officer said to Scott who jerked away from him

"Need to know what!" Scott screamed "I just told you!" he yelled jumping up and down slightly "This guy needs to go to jail!" his erratic behavior caused the other officer to turn his attention towards Scott

"Have you been drinking today?" the officer asked Scott

"Are you kidding me!" Scott yelled out "Why is it always my fault!"

"Sir we're going to have to ask you to calm down" The officer insisted as Scott backed away from them.

"I don't need to calm down" Scott said visibly shaking "He hit me" he said in a very low dark voice

"Call for backup" The one officer whispered to the other

"You don't need backup! I'm not problem!" Scott shouted turning his back to everyone and walking towards the wall of the restaurant and punching it. As he hit the wall the officers noticed something under his shirt

"What is it?" Daniel asked spotting it as well

"We're going to ask that you all step back" The officer instructed Punk, Hunter, Kofi and Daniel. "Sir please put you hands in the air and step away from the wall" the officer said to Scott who let out a frustrated laugh

"This wasn't supposed to happen!" Scott yelled turning to face them

"What is in your back pocket?" The officer questioned

"It's not a gun" Scott told them quickly

"Hands on your hand!" The other officer shouted pulling his weapon

"Oh come on!" Scott yelled

"Now!" the officer demanded as Scott placed his hands on his head. The other officer walked over and reached into Scott's back pocket and pulled out what appeared to be a taser

"What are you doing with this?" the officer questioned

"It's for protection" Scott shrugged as the police put there own weapons away and let Scott explain "Is that illegal or something?"

"Actually it is" The officer informed him

"What was he doing with that?" Kofi asked the group

"What do you think?" Punk shot back

"Phil!" AJ shouted making her way towards the scene. His eyes widened when he saw his wife rushing towards them as Scott was being questioned by the police

"What is she doing here?" Punk asked alarmed "AJ don't-" he started but Scott Page caught sight of AJ. She didn't even notice Scott as she headed towards him but felt a grip on her arm right as she was about to reach him

"AJ!" Scott yelled viciously grabbing a hold of her arm. The officers tried to pry him off of her as Punk raced over to loosen Scott's grip as well "You're ruining everything!" he yelled as the police finally got him away from AJ and Punk grabbed her other arm and ushered her away from Scott "You did this to me!" he screamed trying to reach for her again but the officers forced him to the ground as more police vehicles pulled up to the scene and saw Scott Page was struggling with the other officers. If Scot Page wasn't such a sick man AJ and Punk would have taken pity on him as they watched the police officers roughly attempt to restrain him. AJ watched in horror as Scott was thrown on top of the hood of one of the police cars and was cuffed. All the while yelling and cursing AJ.

"What happened?" AJ asked Punk

"It's nothing" Punk told her

"Let's get out of here" AJ said to him

"I can't" Punk told her "You go back to the arena though Bryan will take you"

"Are you in trouble?" AJ questioned "You have a match in two hours! All of you do!"

"She's right" Hunter told them "Kofi you and Daniel head back I'll wait with them"

"Take AJ" Punk said to Kofi

"No I'm staying right here" AJ argued glaring at Punk

"Call me" Kofi said to Punk

"You sure you don't want to come back with us?" Daniel questioned AJ

"No I'm staying" AJ told him firmly. One of the original officers came over towards Punk and AJ

"Do you feel like talking now?" The officer questioned as Scott was glaring at the couple from the back of the police cruiser

"That man's name is Scott Page" AJ told the officer

"And you are?" The officer questioned

"I'm his wife" She said pointing at Punk "And I'm always the woman who has a restraining order against him" She said pointing to the car "He has been threatening me for months now. I'm sure whatever went on here was a simple case of my husband defending me"

"You have a wife don't you?" Hunter questioned the officer coolly

"What's your name?" The officer asked glaring at Hunter quickly but speaking in a much friendlier voice to the young pregnant woman in front of him

"April Brooks" AJ told him "I know how this must look and I'm not sure what went on before I got here but I have been living in fear for almost a year now" AJ told the cop as the tears started to fall "He has been sneaking around and subtly threatening me for a while now and whatever happened today was a way to get my husband out of the picture so he could get what he wants"
"And what is it that he wants?" The officer asked her

"To hurt me really bad or kill me" AJ said unsure herself "If you look into his record you'll see he's violated the restraining order before. He is very unstable and I'm sure he provoked my husband"

"Hey come take a look at this!" One of the officers who was inspecting Scott Page's car yelled.

"Excuse me" The officer said stepping away from AJ and towards the other police men

"AJ you shouldn't be here" Punk told her

"She's trying to save your ass right now" Hunter reminded him in a low tone "And I think it's working"

"What do you think is in there?" AJ asked Punk as they watched the officers look in the trunk

"I don't think I want to know" Punk told her.


After about another half hour the police officers informed Punk that they wouldn't be arresting him. And he was free to go but they did want his statement and they insisted to speaking to AJ as well. But time was money and the pay-per-view was about begin and Punk had a big match. Vince McMahon himself graced the police scene with is presence and of course charmed the officers and even shook hands with the first responders and thanked them for all there hard work. He explained to them how he had been fearing for Punk and AJ's safety for months now as well. The officers agreed to let AJ and Punk head back to the arena and they would meet up with them right after the show.

Punk and Jeff's match was the second to last match of the night. It was supposed to be earlier but it got pushed back due to Punk almost being arrested. All in all it was a great match. You never would have guessed he was almost arrested a few hours earlier. It seemed like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders and AJ even caught him smiling a few times during the match. Jeff was eventually crowned the victor of the match but Punk put up a hell of a fight.

Backstage AJ headed into a private office with Punk where the two officers who first arrived on scene were sitting and a street detective.

"Mr & Mrs. Brooks I'm Detective Monroe" The older man smiled shaking their hands

"You're not going to arrest him are you?" AJ asked quickly but the older detective smiled at the young woman

"No" he assured her "I'm here to let you know that you two can sleep easy. Mr. Page is going to be going to jail"

"Really?" AJ asked almost not believing the words

"Really" Detective Monroe confirmed "Obviously as you know upon being searched on-scene the officers found an illegal taser on Mr. Page. And while searching his vehicle we found some other items that were unsettling"

"Like what?" AJ asked

"Nothing for you to worry about" The Detective assured her "Also we looked into the police report from Chicago about your home being broken into-"

"What?" AJ asked looking at Punk

"I'll explain that later" Punk told her

"And even though there wasn't evidence of Mr. Page being involved in that we did discover his car received a ticket from a traffic light less then a mile from your home which put him in direct violation of the restraining order Mrs. Brooks has against him" The Detective told him

"But I wasn't home obviously" AJ pointed out

"Restraining order is for you and your home whether you're in it or not" The Detective told her

"Where is he now?" Punk asked

"At the local hospital getting a mental evaluation" Detective Monroe told him "Like I said we found some rather disturbing items in his car and his erratic behavior left us with no other option. I've spoken to your boss and a few of your friends here and I know this has been a rough road. Obviously Mr. Page isn't mentally competent to press charges against you so I've decided to not investigate the assault any further"

"Thank you" AJ smiled throwing her arms around the surprised Detective

"You're welcome" he said pulling away "But I want a statement from you. I need you to write down anything and everything related to him"

"Sure" AJ said not able to hide her smile as the Detective handed her a note pad and she headed over to the desk

"So what was in the car?" Punk asked the Detective

"You sure you really want to know?" Detective Monroe questioned. Punk just stared at the man and waited for the answer. The Detective nodded towards the door and had Punk follow him outside the room. "Aside from the taser we found on him rope, a lead pipe, a butcher knife, a few photos of your wife and himself and a few baby items which we believe are from your nursery. We need you to identify the items but they were on the list of items missing from your nursery"

"Looks like you got him right in time" Punk said to him

"Yea" The Detective agreed "I'm assuming his plan was to have you arrested and surprise your wife tonight. Where you going to be staying in a hotel tonight?"

"Yea why?" Punk questioned

"He had reservations at the Arista Hotel" Detective Monroe told him "And your boss told me that's where you all were booked up for the night"

"It was" Punk said letting out a breath

"What you did was reckless and stupid" The Detective told Punk bluntly "Could have gotten yourself killed but you saved your wife's life tonight"

"You really think he would have killed her?" Punk asked. He already knew how the evidence looked but he wanted the Detective to confirm it

"I have no evidence to prove he wasn't" Detective Monroe told him bluntly "I know 'stalking' cases really can take a long time to close but you and your wife should consider yourselves extremely lucky"

"Yea" Punk muttered "So how long is he going to be away for?"

"If he makes is past the mental evaluation he'll be going to jail. You and your wife can sleep easy for a while" The Detective told him "And by they way you look, you can use it at least until the little one gets here" he laughed

"Yea" Punk smirked scratching of his head

"So what are you having a boy or a girl?" Detective Monroe questioned

"She says a girl" Punk shrugged

"The mothers are usually right" The Detective smirked "Always wanted a girl myself"

"You have boys?" Punk asked

"One boy and four girls" The Detective told him with a grin "I wish I would have wished for more boys" he laughed "Girls are a bit of a handful and they eventually start to date at some point"

"So I've been warned" Punk muttered

"Don't worry I'm sure the boys will be too afraid to date your girl" The Detective chuckled "Speaking of I know it's slightly unprofessional but could I get an autograph for my boy? He's a big fan"

"Absolutely" Punk said looking around and found a t-shirt and a marker "What's his name?"

"Jacob" The Detective told him as he watched Punk sign the shirt and handed it to him "You're his hero"

"Well you're mine" Punk told him honestly shaking his hand "Thank you for everything"

"It's what I'm here for" Detective Monroe smirked "I'll be in touch though because there is still court dates and such"

"Whatever you need" Punk said to him then headed back into the room AJ was in

Detective Monroe looked at the shirt and saw what Punk had wrote 'To Jacob, your dad is a hero, never forget it. Your friend CM Punk'


After writing their statements Punk and AJ headed to the bus where they were surprised to find more than just Kofi there. Kaitlyn and Seth were there as well.

"What's going on?" AJ questioned

"We want the scoop" Kaitlyn smiled throwing her arms around her friend "So is it true? Is he gone?"

"Well he's in a lot of trouble" AJ said smiling taking a seat

"Leave it to you" Kofi said shaking his head at Punk

"What? What I do?" Punk asked

"You have this emotional breakdown earlier, a street fight an hour after that, avoid arrest, have your wife's stalker arrested and still manage to make it to the show and pull off one of the best fights of the night!" Kofi laughed "Only you my friend"

"They don't call me the Best In The World for no reason" Punk smirked

"You call yourself that" Kaitlyn teased

"Seriously what went down?" Seth questioned "I knew something big was up when both Vince and Hunter left the arena"

"It's such a long story" Punk muttered

"I told them the gist of it" Kofi said to him "But what did the Detectives say? How did you not get your ass thrown in jail for beating him like that?"

"They thought he was going to kill me" AJ added casually

"What?" Kaitlyn asked alarmed

"They found some items in his car that looked suspicious" Punk clarified "And he had a taser on him which is illegal and they found proof he violated the restraining order"

"What was in the car?" Seth asked alarmed

"Yea what was in the car?" AJ asked looking up at Punk "I heard you ask the Detective"

"It's not important" Punk shrugged

"It is to me" AJ told him "And since you didn't tell me he broke into our home last week the least you could do is tell me this"

"They found some rope and pictures" Punk told him "A knife I think he mentioned"

"Oh my god" Kaitlyn gasped

"He was also booked at our hotel" Punk told AJ who nodded

"He wanted you to confront him that's why he was flaunting about like that" AJ said to him "He wanted you arrested because he knew he couldn't fight you off"

"And his plan backfired" Punk told her quickly "It's over and done with"

"Are you guys heading back to the hotel?" Kaitlyn asked them

"No we want to head to the next city, I'm too tired to check in somewhere and unpack then repack first thing in the morning" AJ said with a yawn

"Get some rest" Kaitlyn said giving her a hug "And you" she said working towards Punk and pulling him into a hard hug "Thank you" she smiled pulling away

"Take care AJ" Seth smiled giving her a kiss on her forehead then shook Punk's hand

"Let's hit it!" Kofi yelled to the driver as Seth and Kaitlyn exited the bus

"You ok?" Kofi asked AJ who was clearly lost in her own thoughts. Punk took a seat next to her

"Yea I mean it's just so weird to think that someone out there was planning on ending my life" AJ admitted out loud "Some one I used to care about and trust" she got chills instantly "You really saved my life tonight"

"No I didn't" Punk said to her

"Stop it" AJ warned "If you weren't in my life and didn't have my back I'd be cut up into little pieces right now" Punk instantly shivered when she said that "Thank you" she said pulling him into a deep kiss, forgetting Kofi was there

"That's sweet" Kofi smiled taking a picture on his phone. After a few minutes Punk pulled away

"I love you" Punk said brushing her hair behind her ear

"I love you" AJ smiled "You're my hero"

"So guys how does it feel?" Kofi asked with a wide grin "You don't have to watch your backs anymore you can finally be free to do what you want"

"It feels really exhausting" AJ smirked "I feel like I can sleep for days"

"Same here" Punk agreed

"Is that code for something else?" Kofi asked unsurely

"No we need sleep" Punk said standing up and taking AJ's into his own and helping her up "We're going to sleep so don't wake us up for breakfast or anything"

"This is how you two party?" Kofi asked with a laugh as he watched them head to the backroom "This is a celebration!"

"We'll celebrate tomorrow!" Punk yelled slamming the door. Kofi just laughed and looked at the photo he took of the two kissing

"I'm putting this on twitter" Kofi smirked knowing Punk would hate it


A/N: Wooh! End of Scott Page...or is it? Tune in to see! Anyway I'd like to thank everyone who has been kind enough to review my story! The fact that you take the time out to let me know your feelings means alot and the entire point of this story is for all of you to enjoy it and take an escape for a bit. Thanks again for reviewing and there is more to come I promise. Just when I think I'm about to end it your reviews inspire me! Thanks again! :)
