"I know you're not going to believe this. I know you're not going to believe me, but I really am sorry for what I said. I was just angry, angry and drunk. I had just lost my title, and I took it on you, because you won, because you have beaten me multiple times. And it doesn't justify what I said. I am sorry Paige, I didn't mean what I said, and I hope you can see that.

"I regret what I have done. I regret what I have said, and I do want to be friends with you. I do want to know you."

Paige didn't know what to think. She had spent the whole day in her room, not sure what to do. She didn't know if she could forgive AJ. The shorter girl had really hurt her.

Paige really did look up to AJ. She looked up to her, because she was the top diva. And joining forces, and having a story line with someone who was similar to her, it was her dream.

Paige just shook her head. She wanted to laugh at herself; she really was screwed up.

Paige just smiled softly. She was really going to do it.

She opened the message app on her phone and typed in AJ's name.

Okay.

She didn't want to write anything else. Sure AJ apologized, but could she really forgive her? Paige turned her phone off and went back to sleep, it was her day off and she didn't want to think about work.

Fireproof Flame

PAIGE and AJ's Smackdown segment was over. AJ threw the chocolates away, rolling her eyes at the storyline. The Creatives kept making her and Paige into sexual rivals. The things they did for the male audience.

AJ saw her, and smiled. Paige gave her a small smile and walked away.

AJ wasn't able to see her much for the day.

Fireproof Flame

IT was Raw, and Paige and AJ knew there was a change in their Night of Champions match. Stephanie was walking into the ring. She talked about Nikki Bella. AJ didn't pay attention to it. The Bella Twins entered the rings, separately.

AJ smiled, as her music started. She skipped to the ring, and grabbed a mic.

AJ gave Stephanie a smile, "Hi boss lady. Now, I'm not sure, if you or your little husband have forgotten the actual concept of number one contender-ship, but you see, there is only one contender. And since I never got my rematch, that person is me." Stephanie nodded, while Brie and Nikki looked away. "And I know that we can agree that I don't play well with others. So why don't you do what's best for business, and let the Bellas work on their little issues on their time and leave the Divas Title to me."

The crowds cheered and AJ was happy that they were on her side. Stephanie smiled before answering. "Well, thank you for the education AJ, I appreciate that. Always love being enlightened. But I think that we have—"

Paige's theme cut Stephanie off. The women in the ring watched as the Divas Champion walked towards the ring. Once she was in the ring, she looked around for a mic. Stephanie gave her the one she had.

"Oh, thank you Stephanie. Okay ladies, all this talk about the Divas Championship. There is one thing missing. The bloody Divas Champion, okay."

"You're not a champion," AJ told her, "I am."

"What did you say to me?"

Paige gave Stephanie her mic back and started to talk with her.

The rest of the promo was Bella drama, which AJ, nor Paige cared about.

AJ's stare down with Stephanie was something she did remember. AJ left the ring.

Paige walked through the gorillas, and smiled at AJ.

"So our match will have to be a triple threat match," AJ told the Divas Champion.

Paige shrugged. "It was bound to happen. We can't be the only ones carrying the division."

"I thought I saw you kissing ass out there."

Paige grinned. She shrugged. "Part of the business."

"Thanks for forgiving me," AJ said, giving her a serious look.

"It's no problem. Just know this is your last chance."

"It's no problem. I do want to be your friend, just remember that."

Paige nodded. She gave AJ a smile and walked away.

Fireproof Flame

Paige watched as AJ attacked Nikki. Brie, poor naïve Brie went to help her sister out. Which helped Paige when the twin returned to the ring. She did the Rampaige and won.

AJ and Paige met up in the back later. "I know what you did."

AJ looked at her friend, an innocent look on her face. "And what did I do?"

Paige rolled her eyes, "Thank you."

"No problem. How are you doing?"

Paige frowned, "What do you mean?"

"I'm just asking how you are doing," AJ said, looking at the taller girl.

"I'm fine," Paige told her.

"Are you sure?" AJ asked, looking at Paige.

Paige frowned, but nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine." Paige could hear something in AJ's voice, and it confused her.

AJ couldn't know. She couldn't know the truth; Seth and Emma barely know what happened.

"If you ever want to talk, I am here to listen," AJ told her, her voice a whisper.

"What are you talking about?" Paige's voice was strained, as she looked at AJ with wide eyes. She can't know.

AJ shrugged. "Just letting you know. I really do want us to be friends."

Paige nodded. "Okay. Yeah."

AJ gave her a smile and skipped away, leaving Paige alone. Paige was confused as to why AJ was making those comments. She knew AJ couldn't know what had happened a year ago. There were only two people who knew the whole truth.

Paige was in her room, her arms wrapped around her legs. Her black make-up was smeared around her face. Paige sighed, her body shaking. She could hear banging on the door. And moved her legs closer, as she moved her arms to press her palms against her ears. Her tears started to stream down her face.

Paige shook her head, getting the memory out of her head. She gripped her tighter, and gave a small smile. Things were looking up. Maybe the broken cracks could finally be fixed. Maybe.

Fireproof Flame

AJ smiled as she headed to the car she had rented for the day.

"Hey Skippy!" Dean's voice exclaimed.

AJ turned and smiled. "Hey," she said, her voice happy.

Dean turned to Seth with a smile. "Someone is happy."

AJ nodded. "Yeah, I made things alright between me and Paige. I think we might actually have a friendship."

"Are you sure it's just going to be a friendship?" Dean asked, joking.

The twenty-eight year old rolled her eyes. "Perv."

"Isn't that what you are doing out there?" Seth asked, grinning.

"It's for the storyline."

Dean's grin grew. "Are you sure? Because you both seemed to be really into it."

"Hey look, it's your girlfriend," Seth told the woman, nodding towards the Brit and Australian who were walking towards their rented car.

Seth jogged towards them. "Hey Paige!"

"Why didn't he just scare her?" AJ asked, frowning. That moment would have been perfect to have a fun scare.

Dean shrugged. "He never tried to scare her. He never told me why, but he did threaten me when I suggested that we scare her. Told me a story about her attacking him when she scared him."

They watch as Seth wrapped one arm around Paige's waist, and the other arm around Emma's. He picked both of them. AJ and Dean could hear the laughter of the three.

"Why do you sound like you don't believe that?"

"Cause I don't. There is more to that. But he always changes the subject whenever I bring it up."

"They are really close, aren't they?"

Dean nodded. "Seth and Paige are really close. They were always around each other at FCW. Then it became NXT and Emma came along. They were known as the Three Musketeers by the NXT Roster."

AJ smiled and nodded. AJ kept her eyes on Paige, who seemed to have a spark in her eyes. AJ wanted to know more. What had caused Paige to lose her spark?

Emma jumped on Seth's back, who was hugging Paige near him.

Dean turned to AJ. "So you and Paige are friends?"

"Not right now. But we'll get there. I was a bitch to her, and I have to make up for that."

"And you really mean that? Or is that part of you Screw With the Enemy plan?"

AJ sighed. "I really mean that. I'm going to get to know her. This isn't a game, it never was."

Dean nodded as he watched his best friend mess around with his best friends.
