After their segment, AJ found a quiet spot in the backstage area to put her own thoughts back together.
She was in misery thinking of Paige and her feelings for her. She felt horrible for the way she ending things with Paige. Her confusion was consuming her. Did she love Paige more than Phil? What does she really want right now? Paige was like an addiction to her.

She couldn't help herself, looking into Paige's dark eyes, it was like AJ's little window to heaven. She missed the feeling of Paige's soft lips pressed against hers. The way Paige lifted her up in her arms, or how utterly romantic and caring Paige is and how much they adored and loved each other unconditionally when they were together.

Everything about Paige drove AJ to the brink of insanity. Her feelings were confusing, she loved Phil so much and couldn't live without him, yet she couldn't stand being without Paige as well.

She massaged her temple, as these thoughts were giving her a headache. She couldn't help herself as tear drops fell from her eyes. She felt strange and she wanted to feel whole again, but with who? She sighed picking up her things slowly making her way to her car. Imagines of Paige never leaving her mind.

Meanwhile, Paige had retired to the locker room to change out of her ring attire. Paige sighed loudly running her fingers through her hair, leaning her head against the wall behind her. She stared at the ceiling above her thinking over everything, and by everything, AJ.

She had put all of her love and invested all of her time in to try to make their relationship work, but it all seemed to crumble away in the blink of eye. She couldn't hide her feelings for AJ well at all. AJ was her kryptonite, her weakness. Looking deep into AJ's eyes during their segment together, damn that was hard. It took all of her strength not to pull her into a passionate heated kiss right in front of the world, but she couldn't , she started to drift off into a daze thinking about her time with AJ.

Flashback~

"You are amazing. You know that?" AJ asked Paige wrapping her arms around her neck after their match. "Not as wonderful as you are pumpkin." Paige said pecking her cheek. "Did I hurt you out there?" Paige said concern written in her voice. "Well…you did hit me." AJ said innocently with a hint of devilishness in her dark brown eyes. "Where?" Paige said examining her lover. "Right here." AJ said pointing to her lips. Paige chuckled at AJ's childish pout, AJ is just so adorable. "Here, let me fix that." She cooed leaning in to bestow a kiss on AJ's soft lips.

AJ moaned into the kiss, wrapping her arms even tighter around Paige's neck pulling her closer. Paige took the hint and lifted AJ up into her arms as their lips moved in sync. AJ pulled away to catch her breath, then smirked at Paige. "Why don't we take this somewhere more private?" AJ whispered lustfully to Paige. "Good idea." Paige replied running down the empty hall with a giggling AJ in her arms.

End of Flashback~

She looked down thinking of the sweet moments they shared, then how it all ended. 'I just don't know anymore' Paige said quietly to herself. Why did she have to leave her like she did? Does she really mean it when she says 'I still love you'? Was she lying to her this whole time?

Paige teared up slightly, she couldn't help it, she loved this girl with everything and she couldn't stop. She was trying to move on, but everytime she was alone AJ would pop up. She hated her life right now, but nevertheless she pulled herself together for now and gathered her things, exiting the locker room, walked through the halls, and entered the parking lot.

And sure enough, there she was. Putting her suitcase in the trunk of her car. Paige sighed, Why now? Then, they locked eyes, but no words were said. The looks they gave each other spoke for themselves. Paige's filled with heartbreak and pain and AJ's filled with guilt and sorrow. AJ gulped holding back more tears. Paige never looked so broken before, she could tell that she had been crying. Her eyes were red and puffed slightly. "Paige…" She whispered loud enough for her to hear. Paige turned around and proceeded on her way to her car. She didn't want to talk right now, she just wanted to be alone.

AJ watched as one of her loves left in despair. Guilt was taking over and emotions were running extremely high, and only eight words ran through both of their minds,

Why does it have to be this way?
