CHAPTER 14:
3 more weeks had passed and AJ and Roman barely communicated to each other. By then, Nikki was out on commission due to a serious shin injury. It was now mid June and AJ met up with Tamina for lunch. Trinity and Kaitlyn were to join them later on.
"Hey April, you're alright?" she asked as she sat down. "I'm ok" said AJ as she took a sip of her lemonade. "And you?" "You already know" said Tamina. "Well in case you've been wondering, I'm not pregnant" said AJ. "I started my period the other day so I am in the clear". "That's great" said Tamina. "And I am going to be making it up to you" said AJ. "April, I was kidding" said Tamina. "You don't have to make anything up to me. That's what friends are for. They're there for each other".
AJ smiled at this. "So girl, give me the details" said Tamina. "How are things between you and Joe going?" "Tamina, there is no Leati and I" said AJ. "April…what do you mean?" asked Tamina. "Leati hasn't spoken to me since getting it in" said AJ. "Oh girl I am so sorry" said Tamina. "No, don't be" said AJ. "I've been avoiding him too". "But…why?" asked Tamina. AJ shrugged her shoulders. "I guess it wasn't meant to be".
"I think that you should talk to him" said Tamina. "His schedule's been very busy lately" said AJ. "April, stop making excuses" said Tamina. "No girl just gives themselves to just anyone. He has got to mean something to you". She was right. "And what am I supposed to say?" asked AJ. "Are you pregnant?" "No, but something" said Tamina. "I'll talk to him tomorrow" said AJ. Tamina nodded.
Meanwhile, Nikki entered the doctor's office. She was still using crutches. "Um excuse me Ms. Garcia" said the television producer. "But we're going to need to um capture you reentering the doctor's examination room". Nikki sighed as she exited the room and reentered just for the sake of it being captured. It was extremely difficult for her to use her crutches as she was still just getting used to them.
A few hours later, Nikki sat down to be interviewed for her confessionals with Brie in the other room fixing themselves tea. "It has been extremely difficult for me to be dealing with my injury" Nikki stated to the camera. She ran her hand through her hair. "And I hate it. I miss wrestling. It is my dream, my livelihood and now it's all gone for God knows how long". Nikki finished her confessionals about 20 minutes later when the production crew told informed her and Brie that they will be taking an hour break and return to do another 2 to 3 hours of filming for that day. The sisters nodded as they began their conversation.
"So what did the doctor say?" asked Brie as she handed Nikki a cup of ice tea. "That it's pretty bad" said Nikki. "I don't know when I'm going to be getting back into the ring and its scaring me". Brie placed a hand on her sister's shoulders. "It's going to be ok sweetie" she said. "I promise". "But Brie I could be out for months, possibly…forever" said Nikki as she began to sob. "This can't be happening to me. I've been in this company for 6 years and now all of a sudden I get some sort of a freak accident!?" Nikki continued sobbing uncontrollably as her sister tried to console her, but there would be no consoling…at least for a while.
