CHAPTER 46:
The next day, everyone was backstage preparing for another episode of "Raw". Nikki sat quietly in front of the mirror when her sister entered. "Hey there Nikki Nick, are you almost ready?" she asked. "Um Nicole?" "What is it?" Nikki asked. "Nicole you told me you were going to be ready half hour ago, why are you still dressed in street clothes?" asked Brie.
"I…dunno" Nikki trailed off. Brie walked over to take a seat next to her sister. "Well you better know because we got a match with Summer Rae and Aksana in 40 minutes so tell me what's been bothering you" she said. Nikki took a deep breath. "I'm afraid I can't tell you" she said. "What do you mean you can't tell me?" asked Brie. "I'm your sister, we tell each other everything".
Nikki abruptly stood up. "Yeah well not this" she said. "Not what?" Brie asked. "Nicole what aren't you telling me?" Nikki turned around to sit back down. "It's nothing Brie" she said. "You know what Nicole? You tell me whenever you're ready but for right now we're on in 35 minutes so I don't have time for this anymore. You tell me when you're ready to tell me" said Brie as she left.
Nikki was left to read through her phone, the same text from Seth was still there. "This isn't happening to me" she said. "It really isn't". She turned off her phone and tucked it away in purse and resumed to get dressed.
Meanwhile, AJ arrived backstage to meet up with Roman who was scheduled to have his match within the next hour. "Hey there babe" she said as Roman wrapped his arms around her. "I missed you April" said Roman. "So when do you go on?" asked AJ. "At 9:23" said Roman. "I actually just got here about 15 minutes ago. It took a while for me to find you" said AJ. "I know" said Roman as he chuckled.
John approached them. "What up Cena?" Roman asked. "Not much Joe, I'm just getting ready to head out. I got a match with none other, Orton" said John. "Sounds like somebody's not looking forward to that one" said AJ. "Yeah well it comes with the business" said John. "See y'all around, I'm on in 6".
"Ok that guy is so anti-social without Nikki around" said AJ. "The guy's dressing room is on his tour bus" said Roman. "He hardly ever is in the locker room". As the couple continued their conversation, the Miz walks up to them. "Well, well, well isn't it my favorite couple?" he teased. "How's it going Mike?" asked Roman.
"Absolutely great" said the Miz. "Hey catch y'all later ok? I'm in in a few". "So that was interesting" said AJ. "Yeah" said Roman. "John never talks to any of us backstage unless it's a storyline" said AJ. "Speaking of storylines, we're due to get our second set soon" said Roman. "Aww, you're excited" said AJ. "Of course I am" said Roman. AJ wrapped an arm around Roman.
"Come on tiger let's get you ready for your match" she said as the two walked off down the backstage hallway.
