A/N: Here is the next chapter. Hope you enjoy.
Jericho was in the dining hall at the Superstars hotel and was finishing his breakfast. He never got a call or text from AJ since last night at the arena and didn't know what was going on. He knew Punk was devastated about him and AJ having sex in his car but it was nothing. It meant nothing. Jericho got up once he was finished and walked out and headed to the lobby. He took out his phone and was reading through his messages when he bumped into someone.
"Oh excuse me "Jericho said as he looked up and saw then Kane standing in front of him.
Kane looked down at Jericho "Hey Chris you got a minute?"
Jericho looked confused "Uh sure Kane what's up?" he asked as he moved to the far right of the hallway
"I heard what happened between you and AJ. Why did you do it?" Kane asked suspiciously.
Jericho looked at Kane weird "What how did you know about that?"
Kane gave him the eyes "Seriously? Daniel was spilling the beans to the entire locker room last night."
Jericho hissed "God I hate Bryan" he muffled under his breath
"What was that?" Kane asked as if he heard something.
Jericho shot his eyes up at Kane "Oh I'm just mad that Bryan told the entire locker room. It's none of his business"
Kane nodded "You're right. It is none of his business. But seriously Chris what happened between you and AJ?"
Jericho licked his licks and placed his hands up "Look Kane, no disrespect but I don't really want to talk about it. It meant nothing and it was a mistake. That's all I'm going to say."
Kane was going to say something but Chris cut him off. "I got to go Kane." And Chris walked passed Kane leaving him wondering what really happened between Chris and AJ. Jericho walked through the lobby and continued looking at his messages. He went onto Twitter and found not one tweet from AJ since the day before yesterday. Chris was worried. He decided to call her cell.
*Ring Ring* Ring Ring*
AJ's phone was ringing as it was lying on top of the night stand on Punk's side of the bed. AJ squirmed once she heard the ringing of her cell phone and turned herself over and motioned her still sore stiff body over to answer her phone but Punk was sitting at the edge of the bed watching her pained body try to move and it made him laugh. Punk shook his head and got up and grabbed her phone.
"Hey…give…that…to…me…Punk…now" AJ said with a sketchy pitchy tone
Punk raised his eyebrows "No no you don't get to answer calls without me knowing who is calling.
AJ pouted "Oh come on Punk just give me my phone it's my business"
Punk shook his head "Since you are my girlfriend you are my business. So your phone is my business as well"
AJ rested there as she couldn't handle moving her body. She was aching in pain and every time she would move a muscle, the pain would kick in throughout her entire body.
Punk looked over at AJ and smiled "I'll tell you what AJ. I will answer the call but you do not get to talk to whoever it is understood?"
AJ just stared at him with a look that read "are you serious" and didn't say a word.
"Do you understand?" Punk asked again a bit louder
AJ nodded and Punk answered the call.
"Hello AJ's phone" Punk spoke a bit smartly
"Oh uh is AJ there with you it's Chris"
Punk hissed through the phone. "Yeah she is here why you ask Christopher?"
Jericho pleaded "Listen Punk I know you hate me right now but please let me talk to AJ. I want to apologize and see if she is alright."
Punk growled "I not only hate you Chris I want to destroy you. And you may not speak to AJ she is recovering but I assure you that she is fine and that she would like if you can never call her again thank you"
"Wait Punk please. I really am sorry and I don't want you to hate me. It was a mistake and it meant nothing and this is man to man Punk. The truth I'm giving to you right now. You love AJ and AJ loves you. And that is how it should be." Jericho spoke with all hope and honestly in his voice.
Punk huffed "Well Chris I appreciate the honestly but then again I don't. I'm not going to pretend that you two didn't hook up and I'm certainly not going to become all buddy buddy with you just because you're sorry"
Jericho was hyped "Listen don't take it out on her alright it was my fault not hers. I just don't want her to be mad at me. I do care about her Punk but not in a way that would ruin your relationship."
Punk chuckled "Oh Chris I'm not taking anything out on AJ. You on the other hand decided to take everything out on her which just about pissed me off. And if I could right now I would beat the living life out of you but since you mean something to AJ and of course she means something to you, it's not that easy now isn't it?"
Jericho agreed "You're right AJ does mean something to me and I know I mean something to her. I was there when you left her." He said laying it all on the line.
Punk growled "Do you want to get your ass handed to you because I can drive on over there and kick your ass right now. I never left AJ. She did something that made me upset so I gave myself some time to think. That is all."
"You had no idea how heartbroken she was when you left her though. You made her feel like a nobody and broke her heart and-"
"And she didn't break mine?" Punk interrupted Chris. "Don't act like she is the one who is the victim here because she is not. I love AJ and she loves me. And I don't need you telling me what I did or how I treated her because you don't know anything Chris. So go on with your stupid life and leave me and AJ alone." Punk yelled into the phone and hung up slamming the phone on the floor.
Punk looked over to AJ who was just staring at Punk, water in her eyes. He huffed and placed his hands over his face and sighed.
"Listen AJ I'm sorry alright. He just got to me and-"
"You're trying to ruin the friendship I have with Chris Punk? Why?" AJ asked sadly as tears began flowing
Punk sat on the bed "AJ this guy had sex with you and you're my girlfriend not his. You still have a punishment to get through so don't waste all your tears yet"
AJ gulped "Punk you can't blame him for anything. I take the blame and you know that but I forced Chris into doing it. Just leave him out of it."
Punk nodded "Oh he is out of it alright. He is never coming near you and me ever again. If he does I will hurt him."
AJ squealed "Punk no you can't use threats like that towards people that I care about."
Punk turned his head to AJ and tilted it to the side "You care about Chris?"
AJ stuttered "I-I"
"Did you just say you care about Chris?" Punk got up this time and walked around over to AJ.
"I care about him as my friend Punk. Friendship means something to some people. It may not mean much to you but it means a lot to me. Without friends you feel lost" AJ said calmly
Punk couldn't believe what he was hearing "AJ I thought we just went through this process last night. Did I not show you why I am the Best in the World? Do you need me to repeat that process?"
AJ shrugged "The damage is already done. So why not"
Punk smirked "No real damage has been done sweetcheeks. You caused a lot of drama, broken hearts and tears. But none of those things matter unless it is done by me."
AJ laughed "You can't try to intimidate me Punk. It won't work"
Punk grinned as he sat down near her and stroked her leg up and down "Who says I'm trying?"
AJ tensed up "I know you wouldn't do anything to hurt me Punk. You said so before"
Punk nodded "I did say that. I keep my promises unlike you but I have taken a lot of shit from so many people" he started climbing over her and crushing his weight onto her sore body "And there is only so much hurt a man can take"
AJ moved uncomfortably "Can you at least be considerate and not lay on top of me when I'm this sore?"
Punk chuckled "What's the point it's going to happen again"
AJ shook "What do you mean happen again? Punk I'm not going to play these silly games with you."
Punk pecked AJ's lips "Well I know how much you love games so I decided, why not spice things up a bit"
AJ got annoyed "Punk I have things to do I can't worry about you and your little games"
Punk got off of her and laughed as he walked out the room. He shortly came back "Get dressed, we are going somewhere…special"
AJ rolled her eyes "And where do you except me to go? I can't move a muscle thanks to you"
Punk laughed "Well I guess I can work you out a little bit if that's what you want?" he said seductively as he started making his way over to her helpless body
AJ squealed "Don't do anything cruel"
Punk smirked as he got on the bed and rubbed her arms "I won't I promise"
"That sounded like a lie" AJ fired back
Punk nodded "Indeed it was"
"Come on Punk I couldn't have hurt you that bad. What is this punishment you have in store for me?" AJ asked nervously.
Punk gave AJ a small smile while he stretched back his neck and sighed. He slowly caressed her face and with his other hand, pushed back the few strands of hair behind her ear. He then whispered into her ear. "I don't hurt woman AJ. I never have and never will. You have nothing to fear from me ever but like I said before, there is only so much hurt a man can take. And when it comes from the girl you love, well I guess you just have no other choice then to teach them a lesson."
AJ's eyes became bold. "Punk, I don't fear you but you are making me believe that you are going to do something that will hurt me."
Punk chuckled "I wouldn't hurt you AJ. I would just make you believe that I would. Punk then began twirling the few strands of her hair.
AJ turned her eyes to Punk and looked at him. "What's the punishment Punk?" she asked in a serious tone.
Punk released his fingers from her hair and shot his eyes open as if he couldn't believe the seriousness in her voice. "Relax darling it's nothing major. I just want you to realize that you are mine and no one else's."
AJ sucked her teeth and lifted herself up slowly. "Punk!" she was sitting up now and she turned to him now facing him "I love how you are willing to fight for my love but punishing me won't win my love at all. That would make me not love you."
Punk was leaning on his elbow to his ear and he wasn't angry or surprised by what she was saying. Punk bit his lip and closed his eyes and nodded. He rose and sat across from her and looked into her eyes. "I know you wouldn't stop loving me AJ. No matter what I do, you will always love me."
AJ was silent because he saw right through her. He was right. She could never stop loving him. He was her everything.
Punk witnessed her silence and took it as a for fit. He knew she couldn't try and deny anything that he said.
"Are you feeling better now?" Punk asked as he cupped her face.
AJ nodded "Yeah, I'm better."
Punk smiled "Great, now let's go" he said as he got up off the bed and changed into a new shirt.
"Where are we going?" AJ asked suspiciously
Punk smiled "Just come with me."
AJ looked worried as usual but she got up carefully and got dressed into shorts and a tang top. When she was all dressed and ready, she walked up to the front of the bus in where she found Punk waiting patiently sitting on top of the counter flipping through his phone. He turned to her once he noticed she had walked in.
"Hey you all set sweetcheeks?" Punk asked as he hoped off the counter and placed his phone in his shorts pocket.
"Yeah ready as can be" AJ replied back smiling.
"Oh AJ leave your cellphone here on the bus" Punk told her with an elevated tone of voice.
AJ paused and gave him a WTF type of look "Uh may I ask why?"
Punk chuckled "AJ just do as I say. Leave your cellphone on the bus. It's not going anywhere."
AJ sighed as she didn't know the reason but she did as he said "Alright fine" and she placed the phone on the counter.
Punk smiled and motioned her to come and she did. Punk talked to his driver beforehand and he knew the situation. Punk stepped down off the bus and extended his hand out so AJ wouldn't fall. She gladly took it and stepped down carefully.
"You seem to be walking normally" Punk gestured as he walked down a street with AJ in hand with hers.
AJ giggled "Yeah, I'm sure to thank you for that later" she said as she winked at him.
Punk nodded "Oh that is real clever AJ but we'll see about that later" he said winking back at her.
Punk and AJ had turned the corner and they entered a dark alley way. There was no one in sight and all AJ could hear was the sound of their feet and their light breathing. AJ looked confused like she didn't know where Punk was heading and she honestly didn't.
"Hey Punk where are we?" she asked unsettled by her surroundings.
Punk kept on walking with his hand enlaced with hers and kept a distant unsettling smile across his face. AJ looked up at him.
"Uh Punk where are you taking me?" she asked again and when he continued to ignore her, she halted which forced him to stop too.
Punk's face turned into the devil once she stopped him.
"Punk what the hell, why aren't you answering me?" she asked a bit annoyed.
Punk turned and looked at her and tiled his head. He was just staring at her with an unsettled look and this made AJ worry.
"Uh Punk are you okay?" AJ asked with a tint of fear in her voice.
Punk just stood there and stared at her. He looked like a dead zombie and something evil had entered him.
"Well uh, it's getting chilly out here so can we go back to the bus?" she asked starting to walk but Punk grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"AJ I want to ask you a question and I want you to answer it truthfully" Punk spoke with a strict dark voice which freaked AJ out.
The sky was dark and the wind was picking up. She didn't know what his deal was but she remembered what Punk had told her earlier. He said he would never hurt any woman. He would just make her think that he would. AJ felt relaxed once she remembered that but when she looked up into his eyes, even the dark skies couldn't make the evil expression on Punk's face disappear.
AJ gulped "Okay well what is the question?" she asked profoundly.
Punk's chuckle filled the air. He didn't give her a question and he already started laughing. AJ was confused more than ever but more concerned. What was happening is what she was thinking.
Punk lowered his eyes so he was looking at AJ and he grew a smile across his face. AJ didn't say a word but just looked at him. Punk took a step forward and this made AJ back up. Punk continued walking now towards her with this sadistic smile across his face and it scared AJ to death. She backed up until she bumped into a wall and when Punk had her where he wanted her, he placed his hand under her chin and slowly lifted her face to meet his. Although she couldn't really see his eyes, she could still see the look.
"AJ if you answer this question truthfully, I won't hurt you. I just need the truth" Punk told her as he kept the contact of her eyes to his.
AJ was shaking in fear. What truth?
"Well what is the question?" AJ asked frightened to death.
"That night with Chris, when you two had sex, did you use protection?" Punk asked sternly.
AJ felt her heart drop. Why was he brining this up again? She couldn't tell him the truth but she knew she had to.
"P-Punk why are you bringing this up I thought-"
Punk cut her off "AJ, I want you to answer me now. Don't run from it and don't hide behind it just tell me the truth" he said coldly.
AJ's breathing started to pick up. She knew he wasn't going to let this go so she just told him the truth.
"No Punk we didn't use protection." She responded saddened.
Punk's breathing became erratic and he moved a step closer to her now body to body with her.
"You didn't use protection" Punk sounded hurt.
AJ was just silent. "We were too caught up into-"
Punk cut her off again "Well then let me ask you this. Were you on the pill?" he asked in a scary tone.
AJ's eyes started to burn. She couldn't even look him in the eyes and tell him.
"Damn it AJ look at me and tell me the truth" he said angrily.
"No I wasn't on the pill alright" AJ shot back. "I didn't think I was too caught up in the moment that I totally forgot about it okay I'm sorry Phil I'm sorry" AJ said, her eyes watering up.
Punk froze and huffed. He couldn't believe that she could be that careless. He bowed his head and in the darkness he shed a tear because he knew that she didn't really love him.
Punk stood up strongly and regained his composure. He inhaled a deep breath and let out an angry howl which startled AJ. He looked back at her and shook his head.
"AJ I have to do something right now that you aren't going to like but it has to happen" Punk said as he placed his hands on his hips and stomped his foot.
AJ knew what he was about to do. This was her punishment. This was going to happen right here right now and now she was going to get what she deserved.
"AJ I love you and I care about you but-"The tears were building up in his eyes.
AJ was so scared about her punishment. That it would be a night she would never forget but he didn't seem like he was going to physically do something. She could hear his whimpering cries and could feel the pain. Something was wrong.
"Punk I-"
"AJ we're through." Punk said as he felt like stabbing himself.
AJ was shocked. This was her fault. She broke his heart once again.
"Punk please I'm sorry let's talk about this" AJ said as tears began to flow down her face.
Punk shook his head "No! I'm tired of listening and tired of having my heart broken" he hissed and began walking away.
"Punk I-"
"AJ IT'S OVER!" Punk yelled out which startled her in where she fell to the ground.
Punk then turned around and began walking as he couldn't bear to look at her anymore.
AJ was shaken as she laid on the ground. She couldn't believe this happened to her. She understood his feelings and how angry he was but he didn't give her the chance to explain. Yeah she didn't use protection and she wasn't on the pill but she isn't pregnant. AJ looked around and saw absolutely nobody around. It was pitch dark out and all she could hear was the sound of wind gushing as she tried to sob in her cries. Punk was far gone by now and he left her stranded on the street. AJ had to contact Chris so she reached into her pocket to grab her phone but then realized that she didn't bring her phone. Punk told her to leave it on the bus because she wouldn't be needing it. He clearly said that so if she gave him the wrong answer, she couldn't call anyone. She would be left alone on the street helpless. She couldn't believe he would punish her like this. AJ got up and exited the dark alley and began walking down the empty street, folding her arms and trying to make her way back to Punk but he wasn't there.
Punk was on his bus lying on his bed reading a magazine. He couldn't believe that once again AJ lied to him. After all the promises and I love you's she still lied to him. He couldn't take it anymore. Punk was so furious he couldn't even read without wanting to throw a fit. Punk got up and grabbed a pen and piece of paper and started writing all the things he hates about AJ. He wrote something down that he feels should never happen again and that is getting back together with AJ.
"I WILL NEVER BE WITH AJ AGAIN! I WILL NEVER BE WITH AJ AGAIN I DON'T LOVE AJ!" he mumbled to himself as he wrote his feelings down on the paper.
Then it kicked in. He couldn't let her go. He already was there when he dumped her and humiliated her in front of the world. He knew how much she hated him. He didn't want to destroy her again but then again, she destroyed him so many times already. Punk banged his fists on the table and crumbled up the paper and swatted everything off the table. He paced back and forth in the room and looked on the ground and found AJ's cellphone. He bent down and picked it up, staring at it just for a moment before realizing how he left her all alone in the alley. He couldn't believe how careless he could be leaving her ALL ALONE in the dark at this time of hour by herself. She must be scared and cold. What was Punk thinking? He ran up to his driver and told Jake to head back to the town. Jake nodded as they weren't that far from where they left. Punk hoped AJ was okay.
AJ was walking down another street when she came across the only opened store or building in the entire town. She walked in even though she didn't want to not knowing what she would be walking into but she needed to use a phone to call Chris. AJ walked in and the place was dark, smelled like alcohol and was loud, like heavy metal music was playing. AJ walked in and realized she was in the town's bar club. She stood her ground and saw a bunch of biker guys sitting at the table drinking beers. AJ didn't want any trouble so she turned around and began walking out until someone called her.
"Hey, Excuse me miss is everything alright?"
AJ turned around and realized that one of the biker guys was talking to her over by the table. The other guys turned around and smiled.
"Oh looky here. Look what the cat dragged in. Tell me, what's a sweet little lady like you doing coming in here?" said another biker guy who was sipping another beer. He had to have drank about four bottles.
AJ was speechless. She didn't want to talk. She just wanted to use a phone.
"I uh just need to use a phone. I lost mine." AJ said hesitantly.
The kind of sober biker member nodded "Oh sure, come on down. You can use my cell."
AJ didn't trust these guys at all. They were drunk and sounded like they wanted something that she wasn't offering.
"Come on now, we don't bite" said the sober biker member.
"HA, she doesn't know that" said a drunken biker member.
The sober biker member got up and walked towards AJ and stood right in front of her.
"Hey you look familiar. Are you that chick from WWE uh what's her name" the sober biker member was trying to remember.
"I think it's that British one Layla" said a drunken bike member"
"Actually" AJ was about to say.
"No no that isn't her I think she's that Hoeski one Eve Torres" said another drunken biker member.
AJ cut in again "Actually gentlemen I'm-"
"I think she's the one with the muscular body" said a really drunken biker member.
The other biker members looked at him "Dude she isn't even muscular."
"Yeah she looks Anorexic" said the other drunken biker member.
"Uh Excuse me gentleman. I'm not any of those Divas you just said. I am AJ Lee" AJ finally said.
The sober member looked at her and raised an eyebrow "Oh that is you eh."
AJ looked at him funny "Uh Yeah that's me"
The sober biker member turned around and looked at his drunken biker members and smirked. Then he faced AJ again.
"Look sir may I please use your phone now I-"
"So you're the chick who is crazy and is obsessed with guys huh?" the sober member interrupted
AJ nodded "Yep that's me so uh may I use your-"
"Tell me, if I look at you for a really long time does that make me your boyfriend?" The sober biker member pointed out by how AJ's character is portrayed as a crazy man-craved woman.
AJ got very annoyed "Listen I just want to use your phone can I please?"
The biker member laughed "Whoa looks like someone is a little angry."
AJ nodded "I am angry actually and I had a very long and stressful day so I just want to call my friend to pick me up."
The sober biker member chuckled "Stressful day? AJ my dear if you are stressed why don't you drink a beer. You will feel so much better"
AJ shook her head "No I don't drink"
The drunken biker members laughed hysterically. "Oh my she doesn't drink. I think she takes after that Straight Edge Tattooed Freak uh what's his face-"
"His name is CM Punk and he is my boyfriend and I don't appreciate you calling him a Straight Edge Tattooed Freak." AJ fired back angrily.
The drunken biker member hissed "He is not just a freak he is a loser who grew up with no parents, no family and no friends"
AJ set off "HOW DARE YOU. CM Punk is not a loser. He has me and a lot of friends unlike you who wastes your time in bars drinking all night for your own pleasure"
The sober biker member smiled "Pleasure? I think you need to be shown what a real man is AJ." The biker member said as he grabbed on AJ's arm but AJ slapped him in the face.
"Don't touch me and don't even think about hurting me you scum bags" AJ viciously howled.
The biker member's expression turned to pure anger. All the biker members got up and walked towards AJ who was regretting what she just did given how the biker guys were looking at her.
"You know what. I think someone needs to teach you a lesson. And who better than us" The sober biker member said as he grabbed AJ's hair as she ran but she was caught by the biker members.
"AHHH! AJ yelled out but was stopped by a biker's hand clasped over her mouth"
"Keep her mouth shut. Grab some duct tape behind the counter" screamed the sober biker member.
"No don't" AJ tried to speak but her mouth was being shut so no one understood what she was saying.
"Let's find out who's the real Best in the World here Ms. Lee" the biker member suggested as he picked up AJ and dropped her roughly on a table. The other bikers were so turned on right now they couldn't wait to get a shot of this girl. Especially since she belonged to the WWE Champion CM Punk's or at least use to be.
The biker members held AJ down to the table as they tore off her clothing. One by one, they did it and tears began to flow down AJ's face.
"No please stop don't do this" AJ mumbled through the tape that covered her mouth. The biker members only laughed.
"You will learn your lesson here little girl. I am the real Best in the-"the biker member was cut off by a chair shot to his back by CM Punk.
"What the-"the other drunken biker members called out. They turned around and ran out the door but outside standing was Chris Jericho who had a led pipe in his hand. The drunken biker members put their hands up in surrender but Jericho shook his head and smiled.
"Oh no no no boys. You try and rape my good friend AJ and you expect me to do no harm to you"
The drunken biker members begged "No please Chris we weren't-"
"You don't call me Chris. You call me by Mr. Jericho"
"Mr. Jericho. Please we weren't going to rape her we were-"
"Lies lies boys. You are going to pay for the damage you almost done" Jericho said as he whacked the other three drunken members with the led pipe.
"How does this feel huh? To be totally defenseless?"
Jericho was continuing the beating on the three drunken biker gang members. Meanwhile inside the bar, Punk was beating the life out of the sober biker gang member. He was clocking him with shot after shot after shot. The biker member pleaded for him to stop but Punk was having none of that.
"You stupid bastard I'm going to kill you" Punk yelled out.
The biker member got to his feet and punched Punk who fell over a table. The biker member ran towards the door and Punk alerted Chris.
"Chris don't let him get away unharmed" Punk yelled out as he got up from the table and ran towards the door.
Chris heard Punk and saw the sober biker gang member running out the door and down the street.
"Oh shoot I'm on it Punk" Jericho said but one of the drunken biker members grabbed onto Jericho's foot.
"Damn it Punk those stupid drunken idiots latched onto my leg" Jericho screamed out.
Punk saw the guy running and was going to run after him but halted when he saw that the biker was stopped by the big red Monster Kane.
"AHH Oh my God" the biker member screamed out.
Kane grabbed the man by his throat and chokeslamed him to the ground.
"Don't you ever touch AJ you hear me?" Kane's intimidating voice shouted out to the pained biker member laid out on the ground.
Kane rushed over to Jericho and gave him assistance with the other drunken biker members.
"Thanks Kane, appreciate it" Jericho said.
Kane nodded "Not a problem Chris"
Jericho and Kane looked at Punk who had realized about AJ.
"Oh my God AJ "Punk just remembered.
Chris, Kane and Punk ran into the bar and ran over to AJ who was still laid out on top of the table with tape over her mouth and her clothing torn to shreds.
"AJ my beautiful can you hear me?" Punk called out as he removed the tape softly from her mouth.
Jericho helped call her out "AJ sweetheart are you there please answer us"
"Are they gone?" AJ asked shaking as she laid across the table.
"Yeah they are gone Punk, Jericho and myself took care of them" Kane pointed out.
AJ opened her eyes "Kane is that you?" AJ figured recognizing the monstrous voice.
Kane giggled "Yeah it's me"
AJ smiled and opened her eyes fully and saw Punk and Jericho standing on both sides of her. She looked upset.
"Punk, Jericho I am so sorry I –"
"Shh AJ don't speak. It's alright you are weak right now. You don't have to explain anything" Jericho informed her as he stroked the side of her face.
AJ smiled and nodded. She looked over to Punk who was smiling at her. He was glad she was alright.
"Punk I'm sorr-"
"No AJ it's okay. We can talk about that another day. Right now you're weak and you need some rest"
AJ smiled as she knew he understood what she was going to say and he didn't care about that anymore or right now at least. Everything was going to be alright.
Punk gathered AJ in his arms and carried her to his bus. Punk placed her in bed and covered her. Punk placed a kiss on her forehead and was going to walk out when she called him back.
Punk" AJ called
Punk turned around "Yes AJ"
"I'm sorry…for everything" she said as a tear fell down her cheek.
Punk sighed as he saw the tear fall and he sat down next to her and wiped the tear away "It's okay. I forgive you. We will talk about this tomorrow. Right now you need to get some rest."
AJ smiled and nodded. Punk smiled and got up and walked out but AJ called Punk back.
"Punk" AJ called again but eager this time.
Punk came back "Yes AJ"
"Can you bring Chris and Kane in here for a moment? I need to tell them something."
Punk nodded "Of course AJ" and Punk walked out to go get Chris and Kane who were waiting outside the bar staring down at the biker members who were knocked out.
"Hey is everything okay" Jericho asked as he saw Punk exit the bus.
Punk nodded "Yeah everything's fine."
Jericho nodded and smiled "Good I'm glad."
Punk just stared at Jericho and Jericho looked back at Punk. "Well, ehm, I guess we'll be going now. Give AJ our regards"
Punk stopped Jericho and Kane "Wait Jericho. Hold up Kane. She is asking for you two. May you please come in and see what she wants" Punk asked friendly.
Jericho looked at Kane and Kane smiled and nodded "Sure" and Jericho smiled and walked on the bus with Kane.
"Uh these guys-"
"I'll watch them closely. Did you call the cops?" Punk asked Chris
"Yes I did they should be coming any minute" Jericho said.
Punk nodded "Okay" and Punk stood watch as Jericho and Kane walked back to find AJ sleeping.
Kane looked at Jericho "Why didn't he tell us she was asleep" Kane pointed out staring at a sleeping AJ.
Jericho chucked "I guess she wasn't asleep before"
Kane nodded "Huh I guess we should let her rest and we'll catch her tomorrow"
Jericho nodded "Yeah that's fine" and Jericho and Kane turned around and started to walk back off the bus until AJ called out.
"Chris, Kane" AJ called out using all her strength.
Kane and Jericho heard that voice and noticed it was AJ. They turned around and walked back.
"Hey AJ we thought you were asleep so we were going to catch-"
"Thank you..."AJ interrupted looking deeply into both Kane and Jericho's eyes. "For coming and saving me"
Jericho swallowed a huge rock that has been sitting in his throat for a couple of days now. "Uh it's nothing AJ but you know if it wasn't for Punk alerting us, we would of never have known you were here" Jericho said.
AJ nodded and looked at Kane who was smiling "Kane I'm so glad to see you again. I haven't seen you in like forever"
Kane giggled "Yeah um I have been busy with you know, my tag team titles and Daniel Bryan and such"
Jericho looked at Kane.
AJ bit her lip "Oh uh Daniel. Where is he right now?" she asked Kane who was surprised by her asking.
"Uh I'm not sure AJ. Him and I haven't been getting along well lately" Kane said.
AJ nodded "Oh okay. I was just wondering. I hope you two work things out Kane"
Kane smiled "Yeah me two" he said and waved to her as he exited the bus.
AJ smiled and then looked at Jericho who was smiling down at her. "So Chris how did Punk contact you?"
Chris ran his hand through his hair and sighed "Look AJ I know you want answers but this isn't the perfect time. You need rest and-"
"Please Chris. I need to know" AJ pleaded
Jericho huffed and nodded. He walked over to her side of the bed and sat alongside her and placed his arm around her.
"Punk contacted me through your phone. When it came through as your contact I picked it up quickly" Jericho said. AJ nodded giving him the okay to go on.
"When I picked it up and then hearing Punk's voice, I didn't know what to think. I couldn't even let out a word because Punk started talking about you and how he left you stranded in an alley."
AJ's eyes started to water again and Jericho noticed "AJ do you want me to stop because I know this is all too much to handle in one night"
AJ shook her head "No I'm find keep going I need to know everything."
Jericho nodded "He wouldn't allow me to say my piece and I don't know why but he begged for my assistance saying you may be in danger. So that was all I needed to hear for me to just put all the hate I have for Punk aside and all his hate he has on me and just go down there and save you."
AJ held Chris' hand "How did Kane find out?"
"Punk told me to contact Kane for back up so I did. And once Kane found out you may be in danger he stopped everything and rushed down here as fast as anyone." Jericho chuckled just by thinking about it.
AJ couldn't help but laugh a little too "Are you and Punk alright now?" AJ asked in hopes that they were.
"I don't know AJ and that's me being honest. Punk is torn still and is probably going to have this talk with you tomorrow but he doesn't want to kill me anymore if that makes anything better" Jericho laughed
AJ smiled "I just don't want him to blame you because it was never your fault Chris. I am just desperate at times and I can't help-"
Jericho placed his finger on AJ's lips "AJ, you don't have to explain anything. Just like what Punk said, tomorrow is another day and when you are fully rested you can say whatever you want but right now I am putting my foot down and telling you to get some rest." Jericho amusingly said.
AJ smiled and nodded "Okay you win I'll get some rest"
"Good" Jericho said as he placed a small kiss on AJ's cheek
AJ smiled and Chris got up and began walking away but AJ stopped him again.
"Hey Chris"
"Yes AJ" Jericho stopped and wondered what she was going to say.
"I really hope you and Punk will get back on the same page soon. I would like it if we can all be close again, friends that is"
Jericho licked his lips and smiled "Goodnight AJ"
"Goodnight" AJ smiled and she drifted off to sleep.
Jericho walked off the bus and saw the police standing by with Punk and Kane talking to them about the incident.
"Is everything going to be okay officer?" Jericho asked as he went up to stand alongside Punk and Kane.
The officer nodded "Yes Mr. Jericho we understand what took place here. We understand that Ms. Lee is resting right now but tomorrow morning she needs to come down to the station and fill out some papers."
Jericho, Punk and Kane nodded "Okay that's not a problem" said Punk "but what happens to these four idiots?" Punk said looking at the bikers who were being placed in the cop car.
The officer sighed "Mr. Punk I realize that you are a professional athlete that works for the WWE but please watch your language. I wouldn't want to arrest you now"
Punk sighed "That would be a tragedy"
"What was that?" The officer asked
"Oh I said no that would be bad very bad" said Punk
Jericho and Kane smirked at each other given how Punk reacts to people. "So what I need you three gentlemen to do is sign these forms right now and then you will be set to go" said the officer.
They signed the papers and the officer nodded "Alrighty Mr. Punk, Mr. Jericho and Mr. Kane. You are free to go and remember Ms. Lee needs to be at the station tomorrow morning anywhere from 10am-12pm to sign some papers and everything will be set"
They nodded and the officer left with the bikers in the car.
Jericho turned to Punk and patted him on the shoulder "I'm glad she's alright Punk". If anything were to happen to her I don't know what I'd do"
Punk nodded "Yeah for sure. I just want to thank both of you for coming and doing this for AJ not for me. I appreciate it" he thanked.
Kane and Jericho smiled "It's not a problem Punk. We care about AJ and just as friends"
Punk smiled "We'll talk tomorrow"
Jericho nodded "For sure" and he extended his hand to Punk and he shook it. Kane did the same and they walked off.
Punk watched as Kane and Jericho got into their cars and drove off. Punk huffed and ran his hand over his head and walked back into the bus.
"Alright Jake let's head out. Sorry about all this drama man, it's tough sometimes" Punk said
Jake laughed "I t's cool man. I'm glad I get to be a part of it"
Punk slapped him in the back of the head playfully "You jackass, let's get going now" he said and Jake headed off.
Punk walked back to the bedroom and found AJ fast asleep. He could hear her light breathing and slight snoring coming from her and it made Punk happy. He took off his shoes and shirt and changed into something cooler. He reeked of alcohol and man was it disgusting. Punk got changed into shorts and a shirt and went into bed. He couldn't help but watch AJ sleep. Punk wrapped his arm around her and held her closely to him. Punk drifted off into a deep sleep and AJ smiled knowing how much he still loved her and she loved him too. Tomorrow though was going to be a long day.
