"Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go"
Punk's walking backstage at Smackdown, Maria and Paul by his side.
"So, you do want the divorce papers?" Paul asks.
"Yes, Paul, I want the divorce papers!" Punk snaps.
They walk into his office where Brie and Nikki are waiting. Brie sitting in his chair at his desk and Nikki sitting on the edge of the desk.
"What are you two doing in here?!" Punk asks.
"I'm here to check out the office when it's mine." Brie says.
"And I'm here to fuck you up!" Nikki says with a smile as her hand curls into a fist.
"What'd I do this time?" Punk asks with a sigh.
"Last night, Brie and I were walking past AJ's locker-room and she was screaming." Nikki says.
"We opened the door and AJ was screaming and throwing things at the wall. We asked her what was wrong and she said you both wanted a divorce." Brie says.
Punk crosses his arms over his chest. "So?" While he shoos Maria and Paul out of the room before they say something stupid and makes The Bella's angrier than they already are.
"So, AJ was my friend and I don't think she wants a divorce." Brie says. "And I know you don't want one either."
"Ever heard the saying 'if you love something let it go'?" He asks.
"Duh!" They both say in unison.
"That's what this is." Punk says going over to Brie and having a glare-off with her before she gets out of the chair and makes Nikki get off the desk.
"Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies"
"So you love her?" Brie asks.
"Tell AJ, and I'll personally make sure when you lose you're both fired." Punk says with a smile.
"What about me?" Nikki asks.
"I'll make sure John gets fired also." He says.
Nikki and Brie glare at him then storm out of the room.
Paul and Maria come back in.
"What was that about?" Paul asks.
"Nothing... Brie just was being a bitch." Punk mumbles.
"Want me to take care of her?" Maria asks.
"No..." He mumbles.
"But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go"
"Should I call David?" Maria asks.
Punk thinks for a moment then says. "Yeah..."
With The Bella's
"Are you going to tell AJ?" Nikki asks.
"No, and neither are you." Brie says.
"Why?"
"Because, I'm not getting fired because of her. And I know she already knows Punk loves her. They're both in denial!"
"Ok, that's true..." Nikki says.
"We should talk to Stephanie, try to get her vote." Brie says.
They walk to Stephanie's office, they hear yelling but can't hear who it is, so they wait for the door to open. The door opens and John is standing there.
"John, what were you doing in there?" Nikki asks.
"Just talking to Steph..." John says then walks away.
"What can I do for you girls?" Stephanie asks.
"Actually I wanted to talk to you about a vote." Brie says.
With AJ
"Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep"
Punk may be able to handle this divorce, but in the past twenty-four hours, it's taken a toll on AJ.
She doesn't care about winning or anything really. She will be at Smackdown tonight with Daniel, but not now. Right now she's on a plane to Florida for an emergency appointment with Doctor Zuckerman. She is bringing Daniel with her and Brie knows that and she understands why Daniel should go with AJ.
They arrive in Florida. Daniel drives AJ to the office.
"Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go"
AJ is called into the room with Amanda in it.
"Ok, April, why did you need an appointment this early?" Amanda asks.
AJ looks down as tears form in her eyes. She puts her head in her hands and begins to cry.
AJ looks up and says. "Punk wants a divorce!"
She puts her head back in her hands and cries again.
Amanda hands her a box of tissues.
"Do you want to talk about it?" She asks.
The next hour AJ cries about how she still loves Punk and doesn't want a divorce but knows she should.
"And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh, oh no)
And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh, oh no)
Will you let her go?"
AJ leaves the office and her and Daniel get on the plane to go to the arena.
When they arrive at the arena, AJ puts on her poker face and walks through the door to her locker-room to put on her outfit. She changes into a black tank top, red blazer, black jeans, and red heels then does her makeup differently. A while ago when she was on NXT, Layla and Michelle, taught her how to do her makeup to attract the guys and AJ hasn't had a reason to use it until now to piss Punk off and make Maria a little jealous of her. She puts her hair up in a ponytail to complete the outfit.
'He has no idea what he'll miss.' AJ thinks to herself as she looks at herself in the mirror.
"'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go"
AJ looks at the clock on her iPhone and sees it's almost time for Smackdown.
She leaves the room and sees Daniel looking for her.
"Hey, AJ, ready to go?" He asks.
"Yeah..." AJ says smiling.
AJ's music starts and her and Daniel walk out into the ring.
She is about to talk when Punk's music hits and him, Paul and Maria come out to many boos.
They enter the ring.
"AJ, what are you doing out here with your troll on my show?" Punk asks.
"I'm out here because tonight you're getting your freaking five caret ring back." AJ says taking her wedding ring off and shoving it in his chest. "My therapist said that if we're going to get a divorce, this should be the first step. And if you win, I get to be co-General Manager because I get half of everything! Isn't that great?"
"You had to give the ring back here? Now?"
"Paul called me and said he wants this divorce out of the way. Then he left a message on Daniel's phone." AJ says as Daniel pulls out his phone and AJ holds the phone up to the speaker as the message plays.
"Mister Danielson, please tell the slut you work for that she should've gotten an abortion and shouldn't have ruined my client's life. Maybe you should also back out of this race." The message from Paul ended.
Punk turns to look at Paul.
"Why did you leave that message?" Punk asks.
"I thought you didn't want her bastard child?" Paul asks glaring at AJ.
"Motherfucker..." AJ mumbles as she tries to attack Paul, but Daniel keeps her back.
"Actually it isn't a bastard child, Paul." Punk says. "Because we're married!" He grabs AJ's hand and puts the ring back on her finger.
"I already got the divorce papers ready." Paul says.
"Well I'm not signing them yet." Punk says.
AJ smiles and begins to calm down so Daniel lets go of her.
"Y-You won't?" AJ asks.
"Not until she is born." Punk says turning his attention to AJ.
AJ smiles and doesn't notice Punk's eyes diverting to Daniel, who is now knocked out and Maria holding a chair above AJ's head. Punk backs away as Maria grabs AJ's arm and spins her around to face her and she slaps AJ hard then hits AJ over the head with the chair then tries to hit her in the stomach when Brie and Nikki run out and Brie spears Maria and the chair lands on AJ's leg instead of her stomach.
"Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go"
A/N: The song used was "Let Her Go" by The Passengers.
Will AJ be ok?
Will the baby be ok?
Did Punk set her up?
