The Smile on Your Face
Punk was the first one to wake up, lazily he stood up and went ahead and made some coffee hoping AJ would wake up. Finally, 5 minutes later she moaned and kicked the blankets off of herself.
"Can you be anymore louder?" AJ asked
"Is that a challenge? Because I can totally be much louder, if you know what I mean" he replied
Making a jokingly disgusted face, AJ made her way next to the Straight Edge Superstar where he was eating a waffle. Quickly, she took a piece of the waffle and popped it in her mouth.
"This is really good" she mumbled with her mouth full causing Punk to smile.
"Get ready," was all Punk said in response.
Confused, the Geek Goddess hurriedly put on a tank top along with some shorts and her typical converse and went after Punk who was already in the hallway waiting for her. Without a word, he led her out of the hotel and into the parking lot. Once there, he opened the car door for AJ and drove them out of the hotel. Every 30 seconds she would ask him where they were going to but he would always answer with "you'll see" giving up, AJ laid back on her seat and stared out the window. After what seemed hours Punk finally parked at a park.
"All of the driving just for this? You do know that there's one like 5 minutes away from the arena, where by way, you should already be in the way to if you don't want to be late for the house show" she rambled
Ignoring her rant Punk walked to the nearest bench where he waited for AJ to catch up. Both of them were seated, side by side, in silence letting the cold wind hit their faces for a while until Punk finally asked, "do you mind telling me what happened now?" with a sigh AJ opened her mouth but immediately closed it. "You don't have to say anything if you're not ready for it, I'm not trying to pressure you into saying something you don't want to"
"It's fine, um well, okay, I'm going to start from the beginning. When Randy and I first started dating he was very sweet and caring but then something happened, something that made him furious and I think it was the fact that he lost the championship to Mark Henry but he would never want to talk about it. Then, he began to act even more strange, he would yell at me when I did something wrong, something as simple as not picking up my pajamas from the floor and then one day he slapped me in the face when I asked him what he wanted for dinner. For dinner, I was shocked and to be honest scared because he had this crazy look that he never had before. He didn't even apologize, he actually verbally offended me, calling me 'worthless, stupid, good-for-nothing-piece-of-trash and the worst thing is that it was constantly happening after that. Then, he just became extremely jealous, he wouldn't let me talk to anyone and when I did, he would repeatedly slap me and insult me-"she paused holding back the upcoming tears "then you know the rest, he thought that I was flirting with you when I exchanged a 'hello' with you in the plane" AJ confessed "Don't think it's your fault though, because it's not" she reassured Punk
"I-I don't know what to say" he whispered looking into her big brown eyes.
"You don't have to say anything because what's done is done, there's nothing that can be said or done that's going to change the past" she pointed out. "Why did you take me here anyways?" she demanded, changing the subject.
"I didn't want to run in with anybody that might recognize us and this is a very-well hidden place" Punk answered. Looking at the watch on his wrist he stood up and told AJ that they had to leave for the show later that night.
AJ had the guts to show her face in the backstage area, where everybody gave her looks of judgment and criticism and immediately regretted it. She was told that Randy had been suspended for 60 so that made her feel better, but there was someone who she feared more than Randy, that person happened to be her best friend Kaitlyn, and she was going to have to face her.
The spitfire, knocked on the assigned locker room that belonged to Kaitlyn and didn't wait for a reply, she just entered. There, she saw the two toned Diva stretch her hamstrings. Once Kaitlyn saw AJ she ran up to her and wrapped her arms around her and for one slight second all of AJ's problems seemed to melt away, until her best friend drew away and faced her.
"You finally show up! It's not like a wasn't dead worried or anything! You could've at least called to say you okay or safe ANYTHIN, you know! But no, you kept your mouth shut. And then, you decide to reach for help to someone you barely even know. Yeah, I heard you outside of my room and saw you with Punk" she accused AJ
"I'm sorry I wasn't ready to confront you, I know I left and didn't say anything and I'm sorry" AJ cried
"Don't" Kaitlyn interrupted "You want somebody to help you, go back to where you came from, go back to Punk. I'm done with you. Let's see if he will support you, help you and be by your side at all times, like I did, what you caused me to suffer is unexplainable. If you want the "d" who ahead and try to get it but if he breaks your heart like every other guy, don't come crying back to me for help. When you said siters before misters, I thought you meant it but I guess not. Bye" Kaitlyn spat leaving the room.
AJ stood alone, once again. She couldn't help but let out a sob. There goes another friendship I ruin she thought letting warm tears fall down her face as she fell to her knees.
