Songs to listen to I Still Ain't Over You -Augustana (for Daniel), and Absolute - The Fray (A.J, White Blank Page - Mumford and Sons (for Brie) and maybe even Wonderwall - Oasis alright enjoy.
Fix You
Daniel fixed his kick pads quietly, Brie was watching Raw adding her little comments here and there. He watched her intently, he had a special surprise for her tonight and to him it was a wonderful thing, he wasn't sure how she would take it. Maybe she's punch him until he was bleeding or just chop his manly parts off.
His thoughts drifted away from that annoying woman and back over to the task at hand -A.J. Ever a month ago they had been even more blissful then ever and it sickened him down to his very core, he hated seeing them together. It felt like the oxygen was knocked out of him everything she kissed him, or when she hugged him and even when he would smile down at her.
"Daniel?"
He snapped out of his thoughts and starred at Brie with a thoughtful look -he needed to remind himself what exactly attracted him to her.
"Yeah?"
"You okay?" she asked, "you've been awfully quiet."
"I'm fine," he replied returning to fixing his ring gear
"Okay," she whispered to herself
She soon stood up and left the room, he watched the door closed and ran a hand over his face. Lately things were on the edge, every night was the same fight after fight with no break in between. He had grown tired of it, maybe he'd be okay with it if she let him yell at her and not talk back, and that's something Brie just never learned to do.
She wasn't like A.J at all, A.J wasn't one to talk back to the person she cared about; then again that's why he lost her. He couldn't appreciate her as she appreciated him. He missed her too much to admit it but what good was that?
Punk had made it clear to him that he was someone who only cared about himself, but that wasn't true he cared about A.J he just didn't quite know how to show that to her. He bit his lip lightly then placed his bag away, he left his locker room in hopes to find A.J around and maybe speak to her like a civil human being.
He walked for a bit getting weird stares from people around him, he wasn't sure what it was about but soon he came to an empty hallway, he spotted her she was sitting on the equipment outside of Laurinitus' office, his guess was she was waiting for Punk.
He noticed the flowers that were set on the box next to him and he took one, he approached her carefully so she wouldn't get startled.
"A.J," he called out
She turned to him and her smiled dropped, he noticed she was wearing some of Punk's wrist tapes and then his eyes fell on her stomach, there was a small bump there but it wouldn't be too noticeable if you were looking at her from afar.
"Daniel?"
"How are you?" he asked
"Fine?" she responded
"Look, I wanted to talk to you about this whole baby thing," he told her
"What about it?"
"It's been a month since you told everyone and I just need to know if it really is Punk's," he told her
"It is his," she spat back, "why wouldn't it be?"
"Remember our celebration that one night?" he told her
"Yes," she said shamefully,"but it never happened, if you know what I mean."
"I don't know," he replied, "A.J, let me take care of you and our son; I want to be there for the baby, to love it and give it the family it deserves."
At that moment he took the flower from behind his back and gave it to her, she took it in her hands and pursed her lips before looking at him.
"Let me take care of you both because I care about you," he added
"Daniel that's so sweet," she smiled blushing slightly
"It is," he replied
She hoped off the trunk and chuckled, "and I know it has nothing to do with that fact that I am dating Punk, it has nothing to do with you being a jealous mess."
"No," he replied quickly
"You don't care about me," she hissed backing him up against the wall, "you never cared about me and tonight after my segment I'm going to run into the arms of the man the WWE will see as my soulmate."
Daniel felt a sudden anger rush out of him at her words, but just looked stunned. She then proceeded to look at the rose he had given her and brought it up to her lips before biting the top off and spiting it out, she smirked at him and pushed the stem of the flower into his chest before walking off without another word.
"You should really back off."
He turned to see CM Punk standing there with a sneer on his face, Daniel played off the hurt in his eyes at her words and smirked, "and let me guess you're going to make me?"
"You say that like it's nothing bad," Punk sneered
"It's not, if I get a beating from you might as well get a beating from Eve while I'm at it," he smirked
Punk chuckled, "the baby isn't yours and when it's born it will have my last name and I know that'll wound your pathetic little heart."
"You'll be sadly mistaken then won't you, to have your child look just like me."
With that said Daniel walked off and smirked, he knew he poked a hole through his little theory and it made this all the more rewarding. Soon he will have both the title and A.J, the baby being a plus. He walked off to find Brie cause now he would show A.J what he was capable of for her.
"Soon you'll be my sweetheart, soon."
A.J was so surprised at Daniel's words, how would he even dare to claim her child was his. She had been struck down with the realization that he could be right, what if this baby wasn't Punk's at all?
"Stop it, A.J," she hissed slapping her forehead, "stupid girl."
"I'm guessing Daniel tried his tricks on you," Big Show commented as he brought her and himself a plate of food
"Yeah," she sighed, "I don't get it show."
"He's just being that same sniviling little bastard you went out with, he hasn't changed," Show told her as he took a brownie off the plate
"I want cake," she smiled
"ohh cake," he smiled
"Thanks for being my eating buddy," she smiled, "with these cravings I just won't make it alone."
"No problem, but back to the problem at hand, are you going to talk to Punk?"
"I want to but what if he gets his doubts too?" she sighed, "I want him to believe this child is his, because I do."
"Do you?" he asked
"I do, well I don't know anymore," she sighed taking a brownie off the plate too
"Maybe you should do that DNA thing," Cody suggested as he sat across from them and ate an apple
"I don't want to risk it," A.J sighed, "besides it can't be Daniel's."
"How so?" Zack asked sitting next to Cody
"Well, Daniel and I did that," she started awkwardly, "before he broke up after that I didn't feel any different, and then Punk happened and well now you see me."
"He's just trying to get to you," Sheamus added as he sat next to Zack and drank out of his water
"Yeah," A.J nodded, "he's just being a prat."
"A jealous one at that," Cody added
"So you nervous to give birth?" Zack asked, "then again, why would you? It shouldn't be too hard."
"Excuse me?" A.J chuckled, "giving birth is hard work."
"How so, all you do is lie down and push, it's like going to the restroom," Kofi told them as he sat down next to Show
Soon the whole table was full as Derrick Bateman had sat next to the other side of Cody. A.J chuckled as she saw the little cirle she had form.
"WELL," she started,"imagine this; pushing a watermelon through a pinhole."
"HOLY CRAP." Zack eyes went wide
"Giving birth is much worse than getting hit in the balls," she continued,"and my friends you boys have the most wonderful honor to not have to give birth."
"I will never judge women again," Kofi replied
"A watermelon through a pinhole?" Derrick chuckled, "that's almost like me-"
"EWWWW," A.J chuckled,"don't finish that sentence."
"Fine, just know there's a special reason as to why woman refer to me as mantastic," he smirked
"No women calls you that," Cody told him as he finished his apple
"Yuh huh," he told him nodding his head, "and they also call me doctor love, just ask A.J."
"I don't call you doctor love," she replied
"You guys mind if I take my woman with me?" Punk asked, "I just won my match and you all distracted her from being there."
"UGHHHH," Derrick yelled, "you always ruin our circle buddy moments."
"I'm so sick of this," Cody added, "A.J and her baby belly are never around us for too long."
"She and I were doing great until you guys came along," Show added handing her the rest of the brownies
"A watermelon through a pinhole," Zack told him as he walked away with Cody
"Alright then see ya," Kofi and Sheamus left and soon show left as well
They were about to kiss until they noticed Derrick still standing there wearing an awkward smile. Punk turned to him fully and lifted up one brow as if trying to figure him out.
"Leave," he told him simply
"No, this is America," he replied, "U.S.A".
"One," Punk started
"Pffffft, didn't scare me when I was five doesn't scare me now," Derrick smirked
"Two," Punk continued
"I LAUGH AT YOUR COUNT DOWN."
"Thr-"
Before Punk could finish he was running down the hallway yelling "you will never catch me alive sucker". A.J smiled at Punk and leaned up to kiss him.
"Mm," he chuckled, "you have anything to do?"
"Um, N-" her phone went off and she sighed checking it Laurinitus just texted me.
"What does he want?"
"Daniel will call you out and you will show up," she read looking up at him
"Let's go see what goat face wants," A.J sighed softly praying nothing would happen to her baby
Everyone chanted "Yes!Yes!Yes! as Daniel stood in the ring with mic in hand, he smirked at the people who chanted and brought the mic up to his lips.
"Now, this will be quick I just need to prove something to ALL OF YOU."
He then turned to the ramp and smirked, "specially you CM Punk."
"Now, A.J please come down to this ring I have to speak with you."
There was a brief silence and Daniel felt as she if she wouldn't come, but then "Light it Up" rang through the arena and his lips formed a smirk. A.J walked down the ramp slowly and the fans cheered as she noticed the slight bump beginning to form on her stomach.
Daniel rushed to pull the ropes apart so she could climb into the ring she took a mic and looked at him curiously.
"What's this all about?" she asked softly
"Now, I know I've been a horrible boyfriend," he started,"but let me show you why you should give me another shot."
"Dani-"
"BRIE GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE, WE NEED TO TALK," he snapped causing A.J to flinch
Soon Brie walked down the ramp with a sneer on her face as she stared at A.J. A.J hid behind Daniel as she knew Brie was pretty crazy when she wanted to be, Daniel smirked as the woman stepped in the ring.
"What are you doing with her," Brie spat,"the 20 second flash in the pants, filthy, scum sucking wh-"
"DON'T YOU DARE FINISH THAT SENTENCE," he snapped
"What do you want then?" she asked
"I wanted to tell you I no longer wish to waste my time with you, now get out of my ring," he spat
Her eyes began to water as it dawned upon her that he picked A.J over her, "Daniel, no we can tal-"
"I SAID GET OUT OF MY RING," he yelled in her face as she backed up against the ropes
A.J watched with tears wanting to come out, how could he be so careless with a woman who was obviously head over heels for him? She watched as Brie wiped her tears and slipped out of the ring and that's when Daniel turned his back to her as she walked out slowly hoping he would change his mind but he never once turned back around.
After she was gone he smiled at A.J, "see? What I'm doing for you?"
"Stop," she told him
"Just come back to me, A.J," he smiled, "my sweetheart."
"No so stop," she told him, "I'm with Punk and I love him very much."
"You're making a mistake in being with the man who isn't the father of your child," he told her sternly
A.J covered her ears and yelled, "SHUT UP."
Daniel stepped towards her and she took her hands away from her ears and ran a hand down her cheek, she then looked at him with eyes that only contained fear for him. He then took her roughly by the hips and pressed his lips against hers, A.J kicked and screamed but he didn't release her as he kept kissing her.
Soon however he was pulled off of her and thrown into a GTS courtesy of her boyfriend, she looked at him with hurt eyes and he starred down at her too.
"No," she squeak, "I'm so sorry."
"A.J, it's not your fault," he told her
"I'M SO SORRY," she yelled falling to her knees
Punk rushed to her side and helped her out, "let's get out of here."
Soon they left the ring and went backstage, neither of them said a word the whole ride to the hotel and truth be told that A.J felt guilt eating at her insides. She had done Punk wrong and he had never done anything to cause her pain.
She turned to Punk that night while he was asleep and mumbled an apology, and somehow wished she could forget that burning memory that invaded her thoughts. She also wished she could erase all the memories that flooded back when he kissed her, and the kiss how she wished she couldn't feel his taste still lingering on her lips.
How she wished it would all go away.
