Fix You
Punk and A.J had arrived in Chicago around 10 that morning, A.J was beat and still in massive pain. Punk was exhausted as well, but the only thing on his mind was that he hoped Jericho wouldn't do anything unreasonable tonight, his sister and mother would be there and he just couldn't bare to see them hurt because of something Jericho did.
"Ready for tonight?" A.J asked softly
"Sort of," Punk replied, "you?"
"Daniel doesn't have a match, I suppose, besides if he does I can't go out there looking like this," she chuckled, "it's silly."
Punk was happy she felt the same about the situation, he didn't want her out there at all. He wanted her to be in his sight at all times, he had even wanted her to accompany her for ringside at his match tonight, but he knew it wouldn't be very good if Daniel were to watch or get the news from another person.
Punk watched A.J carefully as she sat on the bench in his locker room and placed her ear buds in, and soon she was humming to a familiar tune, but he couldn't quite place his finger on it. He continued to get dressed and as he placed his kick pads on A.J stood up and began to sing very loudly.
"YOU DON'T KNO-O-OW, YOU DON'T KNOW YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL!" she sang -But Punk would disagree, it was more like yelling than singing.
Punk chuckled as she kept singing, "SO C-C-COMMON, YOU GOT IT WRONG, TO PROVE I'M RIGHT I'LL PUT IT IN A SO-O-ONG, I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE BEING SHY AND TURN AWAY WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EY-EY-EYES!"
After she finished singing, Punk walked over to her, took her ear buds out and placed his hand on her forehead, "just as I thought."
"What are-"
"You've got a One Direction Infection," he sighed
A.J couldn't help but chuckled at his comment, she shook her head and sat back down on the bench, she watched as he began warming up for his match, doing several stretches and such, and after he was done he stood up and walked over to his bag. A.J hadn't quite taken the time to notice how chiseled his features really were, perfect indeed. He was very built and very handsome, his tattoos made him all the more attractive as well, he wrapped his hands in his tape and placed the 'X's on them, afterwards he put his t-shirt on and sat next to her.
"You scared?" she whispered
Punk knew she was talking about the last time he had been in a match, he was ambushed by Jericho and forced to feel a beer pour down his head, he was thankful that it was a small amount, as he knew he wouldn't have been able to handle a whole bottle.
"No," he told her simply, not even looking at her
"You'll be fine," she told him
"I know."
"And when you come back, I'll be here waiting," she whispered softly
He finally looked at her and gave her smile, it wasn't his normal teasing smile, or flashy smile it was a small smile, as if to say that he was thankful for her.
"I wouldn't have it any other way," he whispered back
A.J leaned against him and tried to carefully place her head on his shoulder, even if the brace was making it difficult she found this moment to be very calm and placid for her. The first time she actually felt at peace with her surroundings and not agitated or scared. Not this time, for the first time she felt like she belonged right where she was, which was funny cause she had a boyfriend, whom she should be feeling this way about, but quite frankly her boyfriend was long forgotten by now.
"Thanks, baby I'll call you after the show," Daniel ran a hand through his hair, where was she?
He had gone to the hospital before his flight and A.J was long gone, the nurse said she left with her boyfriend, and to him that was aggravating enough. Her boyfriend was himself and he wasn't anywhere near her, so he guessed the lady assumed she was dating Punk since that good for nothing was always around her now-a-days.
He had overheard Jericho talking about humiliating Punk later tonight infront of his home town, he couldn't be anymore glad to hear that. That would show A.J the kind of man she was in for, that way it wouldn't be her loosing him in the end, no, Daniel Bryan was going to make A.J loose him and he'd be dammed if it was the other way around, specially because of that man known as CM Punk.
He sent A.J about 20 text messages and nothing, her phone wasn't off however because it rang so he guessed she was either hiding from him or just not even near her phone. Maybe she had decided to stay at the hotel because of her injuries, tonight he was going up against Kane again, it was annoying to see that ugly masked man day in and day out.
However things were different because he knew he needed his little secret weapon with him or he'd lose or get really hurt before Wrestlemania, he was in a way mad at himself for letting A.J get injured the way she did but at the same time proud, because for once she took the fall for him and he didn't have to move a muscle or goad her into it.
Daniel decided he'd go hunting for Punk since that man was more likely to know where A.J was. As he headed out of his locker room he heard a soft voice, Kelly's soft voice to be exact she was chatting with Zack Ryder about some shopping place in Milan, boring.
He watched Ryder leave and he took his chance and walked up to Kelly, she was a bit taller than him, and that caused her a lot of humor.
"Erase them," he spat
She stopped laughing and smirked, "erase what?"
"Those pathetic pictures you took," he snapped, "Punk told me all about them and I want them gone."
"Listen, I don't know what you're talking about," Kelly replied biting her nail, "I'll keep an eye out though, you know in case someone else has those pictures."
He felt anger rush through him rather quickly as he gripped her arm, "erase them, NOW."
"Let go of me," she spat
"Not until you erase them," he gritted his teeth and he applied more pressure to her wrist
"Is this how you treat A.J?" Kelly hissed, "no wonder she's always upset, I wouldn't be the slightest surprised if she left you for Punk."
"What did you say?" he sneered gripping her much tighter
"Ow, let me go!" she yelled
"She said to let go, lad',"
They both turned to see the 'Big White' Sheamus standing before them sneering down at Daniel
Daniel let go, and Shaemus hissed, "leave, NOW."
Without another word he departed and didn't even dare to look back, Sheamus would get his soon, very soon.
"Thanks," Kelly smiled softly as she took her own wrist in her hand
"Let me see, lass," he told her taking her wrist
He saw the red marks where Daniel had gripped, "does it hurt?"
"Not anymore," Kelly replied smiling at him
"So I heard ye' guys are having an intervention for A.J," he told
"Indeed," Kelly sighed, "she has to see reason."
"When is it?" he asked
"We plan to have the man come to my hotel room and we bring A.J there, so tomorrow," she replied
"Ye' mind if I come, I'd love to help the lass out," he replied
"The more the merrier," she smiled up at him
"Alright, well goodbye lass," he flashed her a big smile and walked away
Kelly couldn't help but find herself giggling after that talk, what had Shaemus done to make her this way? Weird she thought, way too weird.
"And from Chicago, Illinois, CM PUNK!"
Punk kneeled down and ran his hand across the floor infront of him, before placing his hands around his mouth and yelling, "IT'S CLOBBERING' TIME!"
There was so much energy tonight as it was his home tome, he walked into the ring, and as he stood there he saw his mother and sister cheering him on, his sister sporting one of his shirts, and his mom holding a sign that said "GO PUNK!"
He was very happy to see them, as he rarely got to see them because of his job, but now they were here he just hoped Jericho wouldn't think of embarrassing him tonight. He couldn't handle it if it happened, he just didn't want his family to be dissapointed or upset.
His opponent came out, and soon the match was underway, Punk dominated most of the match, but his opponent had gotten a few hits and moves on him. Soon however Punk connected the GTS and his opponent was out. He got down for the pin and the ref counted, "1...2...3!"
He smiled as the bell was rung and his hand was raised in victory, but soon something hit the back of his head. And just as he had feared it was Jericho.
A.J watched from Punk's locker room as he won and his hand was raised in victory, "YAY!" she cheered, but said happiness was ended when Jericho hit Punk on the back of the head with his own WWE title, Punk was out and Jericho went for a mic.
"Well Congrats, Punk," Jericho smirked
"I will tell you know that come wrestlemania you won't hit the GTS and you won't be pinning anyone, if anything you'll be looking like you are now."
A.J watched intently hoping he wouldn't do something that would cause Punk real damage, "two weeks, Punk, two weeks."
Soon Jericho kneeled infront of Punk and smirked, "So your family his here tonight, right?"
No, A.J thought, he wouldn't dare do anything to make Punk look bad to his family. She saw Jericho throw Punk out of the ring and he placed the title on the floor, and then slipped out. He dug under the ring and took out a bottle of something. A.J gasped once she saw what it contained.
She got up and left the locker room and she hoped she'd be able to stop this madness. She felt her legs feel like Jelly was she reached the stage, she took a mic and asked for it to be set up. She couldn't bare to see Punk hurting anymore.
The stagehands however couldn't get the mic to work so they told A.J to wait, she felt so helpless as she heard and "OHHH," and she knew Jericho had poured the substance on Punk, she felt so miserable at the moment, and as she turned to the monitor she watched Jericho raise the bottle and then hit Punk on the head with it causing in to shatter into tiny pieces, A.J yelled and just ran out.
"HEY!" she shouted
The whole arena was cheering to see her, but they were also confused as to why she was here in the state that she was in. She ran up to the scene and looked at Jericho, she took the mic from his hands and she sneered, "what's your problem?"
Jericho only laughed, and signaled for another microphone, "if it isn't Daniel Bryan's girlfriend, coming to the aid of CM Punk."
She looked out into the crowd and saw Punk's mother and sister, who were scared for Punk just as much as she was, she turned back to Jericho and she pulled the microphone up to her lips, "You're vile, you're pathetic you good for nothing, spotlight hogging, waste of space, mean and bossy, manipulative bastard."
The whole arena roared as they chanted her name over and over again, Jericho however was now sneering as well, "what did you call me?"
"I don't think I stuttered, but if you want me to repeat it fine, I said you're vile, you're pathetic and you're a good for nothing, spotlight hogging, waste of space, mean and bossy, manipulative bastard."
"You might want to shut your big mouth up," he sneered
"Or what?" she hissed, "you're gonna hit me too?"
She then saw Jericho's arm raise, and she saw his hand go flying but she ducked and he missed, A.J then took her chance and slapped the taste right out of his mouth. And as he stumbled back she tackled him while yelling, "YOU STUPID MAN, LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID."
Her neck was in severed pain she had to admit, but that wasn't stopping her tonight. She hit Jericho in the face over and over again, and then the ref came out pulling her gently off of him.
"You're a physco, a physcopath, YOU NEED HELP," Chris yelled as he left the ring and went backstage
A.J then released herself from the ref's hold and kneeled before Punk who was still lying on the floor, "Punk?"
"Get me out of here," he begged her softly
She helped him up and soon the paramedics came to help her, she walked by his side and they were soon gone. She knew how bad he was hurting and it wounded her too, Jericho got what he deserved and even if Daniel would hound her about it to no end she was proud of standing up for Punk because she truly cared for him.
Once he was finished he sat on paramedics table and he placed his head in his hands. She watched him carefully, trying to chose what to say to him as she knew he was hurting more than ever.
"It'll be fine," she whispered
He didn't respond he just stood up and walked out, then it was A.J's turned to get checked but she couldn't understand what she did wrong. She got her neck checked and was told if she didn't stop with all this moving it would never heal, she had to admit she was in a lot of pain right now, but her biggest concern was Punk not herself.
After being checked up she went to his locker room and knocked, she got no answer so she just slipped in. She heard the shower running, and figured he must be cleaning up since he did smell like alcohol. She however noticed that his ring gear was no where to be found, did he not take it off?
"Punk?"
"I'm decent," he whispered in the shower, she slipped the curtain to one side and saw Punk sitting there. He looked helpless, she took of her brace, even if it completely brought the pain back and placed it on the bench, she then kneeled next to him as she felt the water splashing down on herself as well, "I've dissapointed them."
"Punk you had no control over his actions, this isn't your fault," she replied
He pulled her closer to him, and she only sat there, letting herself be held by him. She could tell he needed this. He held her closely and tightly, afraid she'd disappear back into Daniel's arms if he let her go, he didn't want her to go, she couldn't go not now not anymore.
"Let's go back to the hotel so you can sleep," she whispered
"No," he told her simply
"Please?"
"Are you staying with me?" he asked
She pursed her lips and shook her head, "I have to room with Daniel."
"Stop," he told her
"Stop what?"
"Going to him," he told her looking up a the ceiling
"He's my boyfriend," she replied, "I have-"
"You don't," he cut her off, "stay here with me."
She lifted her head and looked at him carefully, she was trying to figure out if he was woozy about what happened, why was he all of the sudden say thing to her, she didn't know if he meant it or not. She wanted to stay, she did but what would Daniel say?
"Punk, you know I can't, I wish I could but I can't," she whispered softly
He didn't respond he only sat there, with her in his arms savoring the small moment before she would be gone once more. He hated to watch her go, he only ever felt certain of himself when she was there with him, it was weird for him to however feel this way as she had barely started talking to him. He just couldn't help it, she was so helpless he felt that urge to be protective of her, to care for her and not let her come to harm. His eyes wondered down to her, and she was starring at him with his deep brown eyes.
"By the way, I gotta' say your little stunt was a bit too crazy," he smirked
She only smiled, "don't you dig crazy chicks?"
"Eh," he winked
She blushed and shook her head, but didn't fail to smile at him. She sat up, and looked at him carefully, trying to read his expression, since the smirk was now gone from his face, she chuckled at his really cheesy smile wondering what was going through the mind of the oh so clever CM Punk.
Punk however was just thinking nonsense about how life would be better with her in it. He starred into her brown eyes and she starred back into his green ones. "You have beautiful brown eyes," he finally whispered.
"You have stunning green ones," she whispered back
His eyes wondered to her lips, they looked so smooth, so dam kissable. Punk shook his head slightly, as he didn't know why he was feeling all these emotions at once, he had felt them before but one at a time now it was all clumped up together causing him to go insane with just wanting her. Most would say it was the alcohol that was poured on him, but it wasn't he didn't drink any of that pathetic stuff, he was one hundred percent himself.
"What are you thinking?" A.J asked him softly
Punk didn't respond, he just continued to stare at her and take in her beauty. She was gorgeous, a girl he just couldn't seem to get out of his head, he however couldn't say she felt the same way.
A.J watched him carefully, she had gotten no answer to her question and it was driving her mad. He only kept looking at her with no hint of a smile or anything what so ever, she had been dying to hear a comment like the one about her eyes, it just made everything so much better. She had to admit Punk was just someone who wouldn't leave her head, no matter what, he was always there clouding her every thought. She was always worried about his health, or how he was doing she just wished he felt the same maybe then Daniel would be gone so much easier.
Punk watched as the water trickled down her face, the way her hair was now in slick strands looking almost separate as they didn't go into one cohesive unit. He took her hand, and watched her carefully, trying to read her mind but she was just as blank as he figured she'd be. Why wouldn't she? He was here trying to confess his like crush for her, but she seemed to not be taking the hint so quickly.
"Want to leave?" she asked softly
"No" he replied once more
"Why not, you're all socked," she told him
"It's worth it," he replied simply
She nodded her head slowly and looked down at the floor, she saw her fingers had begun to prune up. She then looked up and Punk had seemed to shift, as his face was now inches away from hers. He seemed to be thinking of something to deep for her to even begin to comprehend. She only sat there and let him look at her carefully, as if inspecting her. Soon he brought her closer, and they were now centimeters from each t other. He looked at her carefully, and he mumbled a sorry before he began to lean forward.
A.J stood there shocked as she watched him carefully, "Pun-"
"Tell me when to stop and I will," he replied
She didn't stop him however as soon his lips were on hers, she let him kiss her taking in how perfect his kisses were, how perfect he was to her. She placed her hands on the sides of his face and deepened the kiss, and for the first time in a long time Daniel was completely off her mind. She didn't think that maybe he was looking for her or that maybe he was going insane and she would be lectured when she arrived at the hotel. No, this time A.J's mind was only wrapped around being here with this man.
He pulled her on his lap and she smiled against his lips. That simple action caused Punk to let his worry's go and his nerves ease. He was whole when she was around, when she wasn't he was nothing but a lost soul waiting for her to return sooner rather than later. He continued to kiss her and they continued even when their mouths got tired.
"You can't leave me anymore," Punk replied as he kissed her
"I won't," she assured him
After a little more A.J stopped the kiss, and placed her small hand on her lips. She wasn't sure what they had done, but it went against everything she believed in. She was a cheater, something she swore she wouldn't become, she looked at him carefully and before she knew it his lips were back on hers.
She once again let herself get lost in the kiss, something she hadn't quite mastered with Bryan. His kisses were rough and not very passionate, Punk's were soft, they were sweet filled with that spark that you only ever heard about in books.
They pulled apart and just starred at each other, she didn't dare question his feelings or her's that night, perhaps tomorrow but tonight was just for them. She placed her head on his chest and gripped onto him tightly, afraid to let go because something this real she knew could disappear in a matter of seconds.
She stayed in his arms until he was ready to leave with her, they got their things and got into Punk's rental, and soon they were off, A.J once again forgetting she had left her boyfriend behind; not that she really missed him or remembered they were dating that night to begin with.
