AJ watched in horror as Nikki performed the Rack Attack on Paige. She watched as Nikki went for the cover.

One!

This wasn't happening.

Two!

Please kick out Paige.

Three!

Shit.

"Here is your winner, and the new Divas Champion, Nikki Bella!"

Double shit.

AJ watched, frozen. She lost the title. She was no longer champion. AJ had caused Paige the title. The stage personals were setting up for the next match when AJ broke out of her stupor.

AJ couldn't find her anywhere. She needed to find her. She needed to make sure her friend was okay. She knew that the younger girl could crack. She hoped she wouldn't. They had made so much progress, and Paige couldn't go back to her dark place. She just couldn't.

AJ found Nikki and Brie. She gave them a small smile. She didn't know what to feel. On one hand, she was happy for the winner, but on the other, she wished she had lost.

"Hey, have, uh, any of you seen Paige?" AJ asked, a bit awkwardly.

Nikki shook her head. She looked at Brie before turning back to AJ. "She left pretty quickly."

AJ sighed. She started to walk away, but then stopped and looked at Nikki. "Congrats on the win."

Nikki beamed and nodded. "Thank you. I can't believe I'm a two-time champion."

"I'm happy for you," AJ said giving them a smile. She turned and left, looking for Paige.

"SO my team lost, and yours won. What's next for the Emmalution?" Seth asked, as he sat down next to Emma.

The Aussie grinned. "World Domination."

Seth laughed. "I'll be the first to submit."

"We haven't hung out in some time," Emma said, after they stopped laughing. She turned to look at the people partying.

"We do all the time."

"No, I mean alone. We share a room, but Dean is there. We go out, Paige is there. We don't hang out anymore, just the two of us."

"We're out now. Let's change that then. Just the two of us, like old times."

"Well, not old times. The only reason we were able to hang out alone so much was because Paige was in an abusive relationship."

Seth nodded solemnly. "But not anymore."

Emma nodded. "Not anymore. She's being taken care of by AJ."

"Yeah."

"I still don't trust her. She hurt Paige twice. And I don't want there to be a third time."

"I don't think there will be. AJ just realized her feeling for Paige."

"Is she going to tell her?"

"I don't know yet."

"Will Paige forgive? Can she trust her again? AJ did rip out Paige's heart before. Can she be trusted to not do it again?"

Seth frowned before shaking his head. "I don't know. We'll just have to see what Paige does, and trust her judgment."

Emma nodded. "So, anyone catch your attention?"

Seth grinned. "Yeah."

Emma gave him a tight smile. "Really? Does she work with us?"

"You can say that."

"Diva?"

"Yeah?"

"Oh."

"She's beautiful. She's funny. She's blond. She's a wonderful dancer. And we've been best friends since NXT."

"Oh, Summer is a very lucky woman then," Emma said, drily.

Seth frowned and looked at her, but just saw a playful look on her face.

"And you?"

Emma nodded. "Yup. He's funny. He's hot. He was part of the Shield. We've been best friends since NXT."

Seth grinned. He looked at her. Unknowingly, they both leaned forward until their lips touched.

Seth was the first to break them apart. "So, where does that leave us?"

Emma shrugged. "Let's see where this is going first."

Seth smiled. "I'm okay with that." He leaned forward and kissed her again.

AJ had looked everywhere, but she wasn't able to find her. She went back to her hotel room and found her, asleep under the covers. AJ watched her, but nothing seemed suspicious. Paige was really asleep.

She saw Paige's phone flash from the nightstand. She walked over to it, curious about it. She saw the name of the sender. Sami.

AJ looked at Paige's sleeping face and back to the phone. She grabbed it and unlocked the phone. She clicked the messenger button and read the message the bastard sent her.

I hope you love the message. I'm waiting for you.

AJ frowned and went to the voicemails and saw that she had one from Sami. She clicked on it and listened to it.

"What did I tell you Paigey, that you wouldn't be champion any longer? I'm always right. And I am right about everything else. So I think you should come back to me. You will have to be punished for hitting me, but it won't be too bad. Oh, and as long as you're my girlfriend, I want you to stop hanging out with Seth and AJ. I know about her. About how you're in love with her. That's going to be over. You're mine. I own you. And I love you Paige. I can't wait to have you in my arms again."

AJ frowned as she heard the other man. He really was messed up in the head. She rolled her eyes and placed the phone down.

"Do you always listen to my voicemails?" a sleepy voice asked, making her jump.

AJ turned and gave Paige an innocent smile. "No. But I was worried about you."

"I'm fine. Sleepy and tired, but fine."

"Are you sure? You just lost the title," AJ told her, sitting down on her bed.

Paige sat up and looked at AJ. "Yeah, I lost it. And it stinks. But it's part of the job. You know? It was bound to happen. But I am getting it back." Paige shot her a cocky grin.

"How about that message?"

The smile was gone. The Britain girl looked at her Gameboy covered phone. She then looked at AJ. "I'm trying to not let it get to me. I'm trying to fight it. He used that line on me before. He'd tell me that something was going to go wrong, and when it did, I'd run back. Because if he was right about that, then he's right about everything else, you know?"

"But he's not."

"I know he's not. It's something I'll have to get used to now."

AJ smiled and nodded. "That's good. You're getting strong, I can see it. Everyone can. I'm proud of you."

Paige smiled. She looked at her phone, knowing that she was winning, not him.

"I beat your champion. Now I am the champion," Nikki said into the mic as she stood in the middle of the ring, the belt on her shoulder and Brie at her side. "And I am not going to lose it. I can promise you that."

Screech. Dun. Dun.

Paige walked out to the stage, a mic at hand. "Don't make promises you can't keep. You won't have that title for long. Come TLC, it'll be back with me."

"How sure are you? I did just beat you," Nikki said, glaring at the English diva.

"I just know. And I want to pick the match," Paige told her.

"How about a match to determine who chooses the stipulation?"

"Let's do it," Paige set into the mic.

Her song came out again and she walked towards the ring. She got inside and glared at the Bella twins.

Let's light it up!

AJ skipped towards the ring. Paige smirked and looked at the Bella twins. "AJ lost last night, but she is still my partner. She fought long and hard, and she made me proud."

AJ stayed outside. The bell rang, and Paige and Nikki went for each other. They had a lengthy match, with Paige coming out on top. She grabbed a mic and looked at Nikki.

"At TLC, we're having a Table's match. And I don't care if Brie is there. I'll win back my title," she said, smirking.

AJ got the mic. "And as long as Brie is around, so will I."

She dropped the mic as they walked away.

SETH was in the middle of the ring. He was pacing back and forth. Daniel Bryan was in charge, and had set Seth in a match against a mystery opponent. He didn't know who it was.

But a familiar song came out and it made him smile.

"And his opponent, weighing at 205 pounds, from Montreal, Canada, Sami Zayn!"

Seth dominated for most of the match. He was angry, and everyone could see that. Everyone assumed that it was because the Authority lost, but that wasn't why. Seth was finally able to get revenge on the fucker who hurt his sister without it being questioned.

Sami was leaning against the announce table. His head was set. Seth took a step back, before Curb Stomping it on the announce table. He then started to beat him.

He didn't stop, anger coursing through his veins. He could hear John Cena's theme song in the distance. He felt John pull him away, as he tried to fight away. Cena pushed Seth and glared at him, as medics checked on Sami.

The men went to the back, Sami taken away to be checked on. Seth rubbed his face, as John frowned at him. Emma rushed to Seth, checking on him.

"What happened?" Emma asked, her voice filled with concern.

Seth sighed. He knew that Emma deserved to know. Not because something was going on between them, but because she was Paige's best friend.

"It was him," Seth whispered, looking at Emma in the eye.

"What?"

"Paige's ex, it was Sami," Seth told her, making sure that no one else heard.

He watched as Emma covered her mouth, her eyes wide. "Wh-what?"

Seth looked up to see John and Nikki watching them, concerned. He gave them a small smile, grabbed Emma's wrist and pulled her away. Once they were alone, he stopped. "It was him. And seeing him, I remembered seeing her beaten, and I lost it."

Emma hugged him. "It's okay, I would have lost it too. Why didn't she tell me?"

"She was ashamed. And from what I know. He threatened you."

"H-He used me to get to her?"

Seth frowned and nodded. "He knew how to push her. He had too."

"So it was my fault?" her voiced filled with horror.

Seth's eyes widened. "No! It was not your fault. It was his. This is why she didn't want to tell you. She knew you'd feel guilty. And she didn't want you too. She loved you much. Look, hang out with her tomorrow. Talk to her. She'll tell you."

Emma nodded, and Seth wrapped his arms around her. "It's going to be okay. I promise."

Fireproof Flame

"PAIGE, are you okay?" AJ asked, worried.

Paige nodded her head, as she paced. AJ could see that Paige kept tensing up, and she didn't know what to do. "Paige, it's okay. You're okay."

Paige looked at her, her eyes fill with pain. "No. I-I don't know. I don't know what I'm feeling. I mean, Seth just injured Sami. I-I should be happy, I should be celebrating, but I don't know!"

"Paige, it's okay. It's okay to be confused."

"No its not!"

"You loved him. Even after all he did. A part of you loves him, for who he once was. So of course you won't know how to feel. Because that small part was hoping he would change."

"I-I don't love him. Not any more. And I never will. As fucked up as it may seem I-I'm glad he's gone. I'm so bloody happy he was injured. But I'm not. I don't know anymore AJ," she whispered, her tears streaming down her face.

AJ didn't know what was going on. She didn't know what was happening. "Paige?"

"I don't know," she repeated, talking to herself more than anyone else. AJ noticed that Paige's breathing was choppy. She looked to be having a panic attack.

AJ shot up and rushed to Paige. She grabbed her face and stared into her eyes. She leaned in and captured her lips. She could feel Paige stop breathing.

The kiss ended faster than she wanted. She didn't want it to end. She wanted to stay there forever.

"He's gone Paige. He can't control you any longer. He won't be around for a long time. You can finally let go," AJ whispered, looking deep into her eyes.

"I can finally let go."

So this chapter is a set up for the next two chapters. 1. Emma/Paige moment. And more AJ/Paige "friendship" kisses. And AJ's declaration of love. And Sami is out of the picture, for now.

There isn't much for me to say other than this chapter was so not how I planned it. But I liked the Seth/Emma parts. Dean, Summer, and Corey will be back soon.

So thanks for reading. Review. And until next time.
