A month had passed. AJ decided to try and forget about John as best she could. It was very hard since she saw him almost every day. It was even harder since Nikki and John were now officially a couple. Just as AJ thought with him dating Nikki they didn't hang out anymore like they used to. AJ decided to focus all of her energy into earning a shot at the Diva's Championship. She was in the hotel gym. She was on a treadmill. She reached in her bag to get water. She turned her head and saw Nikki and John talking. They kissed. That made AJ feel sad.
"You should just tell him how you feel." Kaitlyn said from beside her.
"How I feel about what?"
"Him."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You don't remember?"
"Remember what?"
"Our conversation at the pool?"
"No."
"You told me you liked John."
"I did?"
"Yeah."
"What else did I tell you?" Kaitlyn smiled at her. "Oh shit, I told you about me and him?"
"Yeah."
"You didn't tell anyone did you?"
"No."
"Good." "No one needs to know." "It was a drunken mistake."
"Speaking of good, was it?"
"Yeah but not like it matters." "It just sucks to think that you have a connection with someone, then you turn out to be so wrong."
"AJ just tell him how you feel."
"It's pointless." "He's obviously happy with the double mint twin." "Just so you know." "I'm coming after the Diva's Championship but maybe we can compete for it on friendly terms." "Well." She stopped the treadmill "I'm outta here."
"Alright bye."
"Bye."
AJ was at the arena sitting on a crate. She was listening to her Ipod. She looked up and jumped when she saw John standing there. She took out her earbuds.
"Sorry didn't mean to scare you." He said.
"It's fine."
"How have you been?" "I know we haven't talked for awhile."
"I've been good."
"Do you have any plans tonight?"
"No." "Why?"
"Well Nikki's spending the night with Brie tonight." "I figured we could go hang." "We haven't for awhile."
"Absolutely." "Ok." "I mean it'll be fun."
"Yeah." "I'll meet you by the entrance when the show's over."
"Ok."
AJ and John went to a bar. They were shooting pool and having fun. They decided to take a break. They ordered two cheeseburgers and fries. AJ ordered a side of onion rings. The rest of there food was already there.
"Damn I can't believe you won again." John said.
"You must just suck at pool is all."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah."
"Another game when we're done eating."
"You're on."
"See?" "I told you nothing was gonna change." "I mean I know we don't hang out as much as we used to."
"It's ok as long as you're happy."
"I am."
"Good I'm glad." "God damn it AJ do not start to cry." She thought
"Are you ok?"
"Fine."
"Are you sur-
"Here's your onion rings." The bartender said interrupting John.
"Thank you." Very suddenly AJ felt sick. She'd thrown up all over the place.
They went back to the hotel. John walked AJ to her door.
"Are you sure you're ok?" John asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." "I don't know why I threw up I only had two beers."
"Maybe it was something you ate earlier."
"Maybe."
"We should do this again."
"Without the puking."
"Yeah we can do without that." "I hope you feel better."
"Thanks." "Bye."
"Bye."
AJ went into her room. She changed her clothes, brushed her teeth took out her contacts and put on her glasses. She was sitting on the bed writing in her daily planner when suddenly she thought of something. She started counting the days.
"No that can't be right." She said out loud. She counted the days three more times. "I was supposed to start last week." "No." "I can't be." "No, no, no, no, no." "Oh my god." She said in shock
