Disclaimer: I don't own anything, not even the plot, just the way the story goes.
Author's Note: Most of this chapter is NoC. And with my new ending of the match. But you'll see how AJ reacts in the end. I wrote this chapter while listening to Clint Mansell's Requiem for a Dream.

P.S. I'm sad we won't get to see Paige on TV for a while, due to her movie and "injury." But hey, she won the BR. So when she comes back she has a title match, and a fair one at that. And is Paige the only 100% face? And Emma, for now, maybe? They are so outnumbered.

Enjoy.

NIGHT of Champions

Paige was watching Randy Orton's match against Chris Jericho. She looked at the clock on the wall and started to walk to the gorillas.

She looked down at the belt in her hand. She kissed her belt as she thought about what the night was going to bring.

She watched as AJ skipped down the hall.

Paige was going to do it. She was going to tell AJ how she felt. She took a deep breath before calling out her name. AJ turned and smiled at Paige.

"What's up?"

"I-I need to talk to you, there is something I have to tell you."

AJ smiled. "What's do you want to tell me?"

Paige could feel her hands shake. She didn't know what to say.

"You can tell me anything," AJ assured her, giving her a smile.

"R-remember when we talking about having someone special in my life?"

AJ nodded, remembering.

"There, there is someone I wish was that person," Paige whispered, looking away.

AJ grinned, jumping in place. "That's great! Who is it?"

Paige opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

"Paige? Who is it?"

"It's you AJ. I want that person to be you," Paige whispered, watching AJ. She watches as AJ's smile shrunk.

AJ stared at Paige, and she could see the smile on her face. The spark that was once gone, was still there. The small awkward moment was interrupted by Nikki, who seemed to be running around looking for someone.

"There you guys are, Orton and Jericho's match is almost done. We have to go," Nikki said, out of breath.

Paige's smile disappeared. She sighed and nodded. "We'll be right there."

AJ watched as Nikki walked away before turning to Paige. "We'll talk later, okay?"

Paige smiled and nodded. AJ kissed her cheek and skipped away.

Paige followed slowly, having hope for the night to end on a good note. Even if she didn't retain her title, she would still be happy.

"THE following is a triple threat match, and it is for the Divas Championship." Lillian announced from the ring.

Lets light it up

"Introducing the challenger, first, from Union City, New Jersey, AJ Lee!"

AJ skipped around and after a while, she just sat on the ropes to wait for her other two opponents.

You can look but you can't touch

"Next, from San Diego, California, Nikki Bella!"

AJ watched as Nikki walked to the ring. After the older woman got in the ring she looked at AJ, who just said hello with her hand.

There was a screech, causing both Nikki and AJ to look at who was coming.

"And from Norwich England, she is the Divas Champion, Paige!"

Paige skipped to the ring. While everyone paid Paige their attention, Nikki and AJ shared a look.

The three woman stood around the ring, but Nikki and Paige where the ones to look like they were going to start, before they both charged towards AJ, who kicked them. AJ then through Paige out of the ring.

Nikki then took AJ out with a sleeper hold. Paige then attacked Nikki, but Nikki fought back. She then got Paige in a submission hold.

It took a while, but Paige fought back and pressed Nikki's shoulders on the mat. She got the two count. Nikki irish whipped Paige on the ropes and tried to clothes line her, but Paige ducked. AJ stood up, grabbed Paige's leg, tripping her, and dragged her out of the ring. Once she was able to, she grabbed Paige by the hair and threw her against the barricades. She then turned, grabbed Nikki and also through her into the barricades.

AJ then went to skip around, while Paige started to get up. AJ grabbed Paige and threw her into the ring.

Paige turns and begs AJ, "Stop. Wait a minute."

AJ looked at Paige, "Wait a minute? Timeout time? This is timeout time?"

Paige extend her hand to AJ, telling her to kiss it. AJ grabbed it and then attacked Paige. She got a two count. AJ got on the turnbuckles Nikki soon came in and pushed her off. AJ slammed her head on the ropes.

Nikki had the upper hand on AJ. Paige came in later and threw Nikki out of the ring. When Nikki held on, Paige kicked her off.

Paige then looked down at AJ with a smile. She got on her knees and hugged AJ's body. She helped AJ stand up, but AJ pushed her. Paige kicked AJ when she turned.

"Why won't you love me?!" Paige shouted. She turned AJ around and started to head-butt her. She got a two count.

She then took AJ to the ropes and did her knee kicks. She screamed and Nikki came in to kick her off the apron. AJ went for the roll-up, but Nikki wass able to get out of it.

Nikki grabbed AJ by her head and slammed her head on her knee. She took over, but then AJ reversed it, and had Nikki in the Black Widow.

Paige kicked the back of AJ's head, causing her to release it and then kicked Nikki.

Paige went to pin Nikki but the older woman kicked out. She tried to run to AJ, but she tripped over Nikki. AJ also kicked out.

Paige picked AJ up and placed her on top of the turnbuckles. She went to the top and prepared AJ for a suplex. Nikki then got under Paige and set her for a powerbomb.

Nikki powerbombed Paige, who suplexxed AJ. All three women were on the ground in pain.

AJ started to roll out. Nikki got up and caught Paige's leg mid-kick. She caused Paige to turn and set her up for the Rack Attack. Paige was out. Nikki went for the count, but AJ pulled Paige's leg, stopping the count.

Nikki pushed AJ into the ropes and elbowed her when she jumped off. AJ got out of the ring and Nikki took hold of her hair. AJ grabbed Nikki's hair and shirt. and used it to throw Nikki onto the ground.

AJ got back in the ring. Paige was slowly getting up.

Time for the plan.

AJ looked at Paige, then at Nikki. Paige was standing up. AJ ran towards Paige, who clotheslined her. Paige didn't let go of her hand and pulled AJ towards her. She placed AJ's head under her arm and pulled her legs up. She fell back, slamming AJ's head on the mat.

She went for the pin.

One!

Two!

Three!

Paige sat up, not believing it

"Here is your winner, and still Divas Champion, Paige!" she heard Lillian say into the mic.

Paige won. She kept her belt, but AJ was supposed to win. The referee gave her, her title. The referee helped her stand up and held her hand high. Paige raised her other hand and let the people, the world see that she was still champion.

She looked down at AJ, who was slowly sitting up, and at Nikki, who was staring at her from outside the ring.

She kissed the title and skipped around.

She then looked down at AJ. She knelt down next to her and kissed her cheek. AJ placed her hand over her cheek and watched as Paige walked out of the ring.

Paige was waiting for Nikki and AJ. She grinned when she saw them.

"I wasn't supposed to win," was the first thing that left her mouth when she saw them. Nikki shot her a smile.

AJ shrugged. "We just thought you should keep it for another month. I mean, you only just got it."

Paige grinned. "This was your idea?"

"I can't take all the credit. Nikki helped."

"It was her idea. I just agreed to it. But that was a great match!"

Paige nodded, a huge smile on her face. Nikki and AJ knew then that they made a good call.

Paige jumped to them and pulled them both into a hug. "Thank you."

Nikki laughed and hugged Paige back, while AJ wrapped her arms around her. She was not ready for what she had to talk to Paige about. She didn't know if she could.

"I have to go see Emma. I'll see you guys later," Paige told the two older women. She gave them a huge grinned and walked away in a cloud of joy.

"You're a great friend," Nikki stated as she watched the youngest champion walk away.

"Yeah, friend," AJ muttered, her smile gone and replaced with a frown.

Nikki noticed her tone and turned to AJ. "Are you okay? This was your idea, you can't start regretting it."

"I'm not. It's not that. It's just, something else."

"What? You can talk to me, or Brie. We're your friends too."

AJ sighed. "I know. I'll see you later, and I may take you on you offer."

Nikki smiled softly and watched the shorter woman walk away, with a dark cloud over her head.

Fireproof Flame

SETH was pacing. He was going to tell her. He was going to take the advice he told Paige and tell her. He turned and saw AJ standing in front of him. He smiled at her.

"Hey, what's up?"

AJ shrugged. She looked at Seth, and many things were running through her head.

"It's you AJ. I want that person to be you."

AJ looked at Seth, making her decision. She grabbed his neck. She heard him make a noise at the sudden movement. She pulled his face in front of her and pressed her lips against his.

Seth's mind went blank for a second.

AJ was kissing him.

He frowned, but then his eyes widened.

AJ was KISSING him.

Seth placed his hands on AJ's shoulders and pushed her.

"What are you doing?" he asked, confused.

AJ opened her mouth, but nothing came out. What was she doing?

"What if someone saw? Do you want someone to see this? AJ, there is someone I like, and that person is not you. I'm sorry."

"Do you want someone to see this?"

AJ frowned; did she want someone to see her kiss Seth?

"No, I'm sorry, I don't know why I did that. I'm sorry."

"It's okay," he told her, nodding. He took a few steps away from her, wanting to be safe.

AJ looked around, trying to think of something else, but something caught her eye.

"Isn't that someone's belt?"

Seth turned and nodded. "Who would drop their belt?"

AJ shrugged and both of them went to check to see whose belt it was. AJ froze when she saw the butterfly. She paled when she saw the name on the plaque. Paige.

She turned to Seth, his question in her mind.

"Do you want someone to see this?"

Did she?

She knew she didn't want to talk to Paige. Maybe, deep down, she did want someone to see her kiss Seth. And maybe, just maybe, she wanted Paige to see her.

"What the fuck did I do?"

Fireproof Flame

IT burned. It burned as it went down her throat. She looked up at the bartender and signaled him for another. She was going to drink, and she was not going to stop until she was numb.

"This is all you're good for."

Paige tossed another shot back and ordered for another one.

"I'm the only one that will love you."

She ordered another shot.

"Everyone out there is out to hurt you. I'm the only one you can trust."

Another shot.

"You'll be back. You always come back."

It all went blank for her.

AJ, what the fuck did you do? Raise your hand if you want to smack her, I know I do. Poor Paige, hopefully someone finds her before she does something she regrets during her blackout.

You guess got a glimpse of her past, and you can kind of guess what it is. But you won't get the whole story until later, much later. But you'll get a big chunk, and it'll answer you questions next chapter. And the next chapter will be one of, if not, the biggest chapter of the story.
