Update: April 19, 2015

THE sun hurt, as she woke up. Her head was pounding and her stomach felt uneasy. She didn't remember anything. She slowly opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. She moved looked at the nightstand next to her and saw two pills and a cup of water. She slowly reached for them, not wanting to set anything off.

"How do you feel?" she heard Emma ask. Paige looked at her and Seth who was sitting next to her.

Paige shrugged. She slowly put the pills in her mouth and drank the water to get rid of the pills.

"That's what you get," Seth told her.

Paige looked at the man, not sure what to say.

Seth could see the pain in her eyes as she looked at him. "Paige," he whispered, but Paige shook her head.

"I-It was my fault," she said, her voice scratchy.

Emma shook her head. "No, it's not. Paige, people make mistakes, and AJ made a mistake."

Paige smiled as she looked at Emma, "You were right. About her"

"No, Paige—"

She shook her head. "I'm going to shower Maybe it'll get rid of my headache. And I won't feel as sick. We have to go to work today." She slowly got up and headed to the restroom.

"This isn't going to end well, is it?"

Seth looked at the closed door then at Emma. "I don't think so."

"AT Night of Champions, I won. I showed everyone that I am the most dominant diva. I am the top diva." Paige was in the middle of the ring, her title around her waist. A video of Paige's win was on the monitor. "I have proven that I am the best in the division, and beat not one, but two divas last night. As I've said before, this is my house, and I plan on keeping it that way."

Let's light it up!

The crowd cheered as AJ came out. She skipped to the ring. She stopped as she got to the corner.

"I didn't get to face you one-on-one. The Authority's princess was put in the match. So I think I deserve to get a rematch, one with just the two of us."

Paige didn't respond. She just stared at AJ, her hand tensed at her side.

You can look but you can't touch.

Nikki walked out but stayed on the stage. "AJ, if memory served me right, you were pinned, not me. So I think if anyone deserve a rematch, it should be me," Nikki said, staring at the shorter girl in the ring.

"I would have made you tap out if Paige hadn't stopped it," AJ shot back, glaring at Nikki.

"How about we handle it now? Let's see who deserves to be in the match at Hell in a Cell!"

Paige didn't even have to talk. She just watched as Nikki and AJ talked.

Style and grace
I'm never gonna be done

Lean on in
Now welcome to the Queendom

Stephanie McMahon came out with a mic. She looked from Nikki to AJ.

"You know what? You two have a great idea. How about, tonight, we have Nikki Bella versus AJ Lee for the number one contender match?"

The crowd cheered, while the two women look satisfied.

"And you know what, how about a guest referee?"

Again, there was a huge cheer.

AJ and Nikki looked at Stephanie in confusion. They didn't know about that. "That special referee will be none other than the winner's opponent, the Divas Champion."

Paige tensed up at the thought of spending more time with AJ. Stephanie walked away, followed by Nikki. AJ and Paige stood in the ring. Paige's eyes never left AJ.

AJ smiled sweetly and walked over to Paige. She leaned up and kissed Paige's cheek. She started to walk away but stopped. "See you tonight, my little muffin."

Paige watched as AJ walked away, and soon she was left in the ring alone. She dropped her mic and walked out of the ring and to the back.

AJ was there, waiting for her. If it had been any other moment, she would have been happy. But not anymore, not after the person who brought a smile to her face broke her heart.

"Paige, can we talk?" she asked, her voice low.

Paige looked at her. She shook her head. "No." She turned and walked away.

"Paige, wait." Following her.

Paige stopped and turned. "No, AJ. Just listen to me, for once in your life take my feeling in consideration and leave me the fuck alone!"

AJ froze as she watched Paige leave. She really screwed it up.

Fireproof Flame

PAIGE was in the ring, in her special referee clothing. She looked at Lillian who introduced her.

AJ came in next and soon Nikki walked in.

Once the bell rang, AJ went for the attack. She jumped onto Nikki, and started hitting her head. Nikki tried to block it.

Nikki was able to elbow AJ's face, causing AJ to recoil. Nikki used the time to stand up and wait for AJ. Once AJ stood up, Nikki hit a clothesline. She went for the cover.

Paige's hand only hit the mat once.

Nikki grabbed AJ but the hair, and Paige told her to stop. Once AJ was up, Nikki whipped her towards the ropes. Nikki tried to clothesline AJ again, but AJ duck under her. AJ turned and kicked Nikki. AJ moved to the ropes and ran to Nikki, doing a cross body.

AJ went for the pin.

Again, Paige's hand only hit the mat once.

AJ glared at Paige, but Paige looked down at Nikki. Nikki tried to go towards the corner, but AJ picked her up. She whipped her from one corner to the other.

AJ ran towards Nikki, but the older woman clotheslined her.

AJ was down. Nikki went for the pin.

This time, it was a two count. Nikki picked AJ up and walked over to the corner and slammed AJ's head on the top turnbuckle. Nikki placed AJ on a sleeper hold, but AJ was able to fight it off. She charged for Nikki, but Nikki just kicked her.

Another two count.

Nikki started to work on AJ's arm. AJ fought back, and kicked Nikki. AJ used the rope to get momentum, but just ended up in the Alabama Slam.

Paige's hand slammed on the mat two times, and AJ kicked out. Nikki looked at Paige.

"Sorry Sweetheart," she said, smiling.

Nikki picked AJ up, but then the crowd went wild. Brie Bella rushed into the ring and attacked not Nikki, but AJ.

Paige watched in surprise as Brie attacked AJ. Remembering that she was refereeing, she called for the bell.

"What are you doing?!" Nikki shouted to her sister, who just smiled back.

"Oops."

"Your winner, by disqualifications, AJ Lee!"

Nikki Bella was fuming, as she stormed out of the ring. Brie got on the top turnbuckle and started the Yes! Chants.

Paige looked down at AJ, who she was going to face at Hell in a Cell. She picked up AJ and just walked away, leaving everyone, even AJ confused.

SMACKDOWN passed, and Paige still ignored AJ. Paige and AJ didn't work that day. Raw passed. The two did their segment and went off to their own thing. Smackdown passed again, and Paige still hadn't talked to AJ.

It was Raw, and Stephanie wanted a contract signing. Paige and AJ sat the middle of the ring. Just like the officials, the audience had seen a shift in Paige's character.

Paige was quiet; she wasn't the same driven diva. The company was trying to play if off as Paige messing with AJ's head, and in some level it was, unintentionally.

They were using what Paige had shouted, "Why won't you love me?" Which they thought made sense, although they didn't know that it was what was going on.

Stephanie held the mic, as she looked from one diva to the other. "We are here, tonight, to make the match between the Divas Champion, Paige and the number one contender, AJ Lee official."

AJ looked at Paige, who was staring at her pen.

"Paige, can you do the honors?"

Paige looked at Stephanie, then at the paper in front of her. She looked at AJ. She grabbed the mic. "You're going to sign a contract. Which is a commitment, right? When have you ever been committed? I mean, you dated every top guy in this business, and what? You're still alone."

AJ's cheeks redden, as she stared at Paige. That was not supposed to happen, it was not part of the script.

"I-I looked up to you AJ. I just wanted you to see me, but you never did. And you know what, I give up. I'll sign this, and I'll beat you at Hell in a Cell, and that will have been your last chance. Because as long as I am champion, you will have no more opportunities to a title shot." Paige let the mic fall onto the table and grabbed her pen and sighed her name.

She passed the contract to AJ, who grabbed the pen.

"Paige—"

"Just sign it AJ. Get it over with, I'm done with this."

AJ sighed and signed it.

Stephanie didn't know what to think. She knew what the script wanted, that was not it. But the crowd was eating it up.

"It's official," she stated into the mic. She grabbed the contract and held it up.

Paige nodded and stood up. Everyone looked to be waiting for something, for her to attack AJ, but Paige just walked out of the ring.

Fireproof Flame

PAIGE looked at her bosses, Stephanie and Hunter. AJ was sitting next to her.

"What was that out there?" Stephanie asked, no anger in her voice, but confusion. The girl in font of her was not the same girl she had signed. She looked broken down. And Stephanie did care about her divas.

"You wanted me to be in love with AJ, right? Or something like that? I don't know, I-I just gave them what they wanted," Paige answered.

"I know acting, and that was not it out there," Hunter told her, staring at her.

"It got the job done."

Stephanie sighed. "Is something going on? Did something happen?"

"No." was all Paige said.

The two looked at AJ, wanting to see what she had to say.

"Can you two give us a minute? We have some things we have to sort out. And now is better then ever," she told them. She watched as they nodded and walked out of the office.

"Paige?"

No answer.

"I'm sorry. What I did, it was a dick move. And I really am sorry," AJ whispered.

"I know," Paige told her, looking at the patterns on the table in front of her. "You've said it a few times, Emma told me, and I know."

AJ smiled, not knowing that Emma had kept her word.

"But that doesn't make it okay."

"Paige—"

"No, don't talk. Look, I told you how I felt. I put myself out there, and you just, just—" she couldn't think of something to say.

"I didn't mean for that to happen," AJ whispered, her eyes filling with tears.

"Then what? What did you want to happen? Why did you do it?"

"I don't know! I didn't want to hurt your feelings. I didn't want to tell you that I just see you as a friend."

Paige actually smiled, but it was a sarcastic smile. "You're so stupid. Instead of talking to me, you just go kiss someone else, but wait, not just anyone but someone real close to me."

"I'm sorry Paige, I didn't mean for it to happen!"

"But it did!" Paige's eyes were filled with tears, making her eyes twinkle. "You hurt me, real bad. And yeah, maybe you would have hurt my feeling if you talked to me, but it would have been better. But no I had to see you kiss someone, and that hurt more!"

"And the day made everything worse," AJ muttered, looking at her lap.

"You know?"

"A little."

"That's it right?"

"What?"

"Pity, that's why you're sorry. You pity me."

"No, Paige, I don't."

Paige sighed, and ran her hand through her hair. "I should have never forgiven you. I said you had one chance, and you screwed it up. So what I said out there was true. After Hell in a Cell, whatever we had, it's over."

"Paige, please, I'm sorry."

"Yeah, me too." And with that, she walked away.

Fireproof Flame

"WE could have had something special," AJ said in the mic, as she looked at Paige. They were making a promo in Smackdown.

Paige didn't respond, she just watched as AJ got near her.

"And maybe, after Hell in a Cell, we can see what that special thing is."

Paige's fist tensed up, as she stared at AJ.

AJ got close to Paige, and they were face to face. "No matter what you say, you'll always be my little English muffin," she said and kissed Paige's cheek.

Paige pushed AJ away. "Stay away from me."

"You run from everything!" AJ exclaimed, having enough of Paige being a bitch to her.

"What?" Paige asked, glaring at AJ.

"You heard me. You. Run. From. Everything," AJ told her.

"Shut up," Paige demanded, getting in AJ's face.

"Why? Because what I say is real?"

Paige had had enough and attacked AJ. Referees had to run to the ring to separate the two, because unlike the other times they were going at each other, Paige was actually trying to hurt AJ.

Paige and AJ may try to kill each other. :0 But they can't. Well, they can, and the rest of the story can be about the others dealing with the death and moving on. But I'm not going to do that.

And don't worry. Paige and AJ will act like adults and really talk in the next chapter. And you'll hear the whole story of Paige and her unknown ex-boyfriend within the next two chapters.
