AJ and Kaitlyn had been on the road for 1 ½ hour and it was 21:00 and they had still not eaten dinner.
"We should probably eat soon" AJ said
"Yeah I'll pull over to the next place" Kaitlyn agreed
Then AJ's phone recieved a text message, she reached for her phone in her pocket and read the text.
We need to talk about this. -Trent. AJ then flashed back to Trent injecting himself in the basement again, she didn't want to talk about it because she knew Trent would just try to get her back. She ignored the text and hoped he would take that as a no.
"Who was that?" Kaitlyn asked
"Trent" AJ admitted
"Trent?" Kaitlyn repeated surprised "You haven't heard from him like a year ago"
"No actually he showed up at my apartment on Thursday, and thought we were still together" she explained
"You actually never broke up officially" Kaityln told her
"Anyways, I turned him down easy and that's it. He probably wants to get back together" AJ continued
"I say don't do it, he'll probably go back to his old habits" Kaitlyn referring to his steroid abuse
"Yeah" AJ replied quietly sinking into her own thoughts
"Here" Kaitlyn said pulling over at a fast food place
After eating dinner they returned to their rental and drove to the next house show. When they arrived at the hotel only some superstars and divas had also arrived. They got their room and bunked together and after packing up and getting in their pajamas they went straight to sleep.
Randy was in his rental car with Cody driving to their next houseshow and had already eaten dinner. He was driving and Cody was the navigator, but Cody wasn't a very good one. It was 11PM and they were still on the road, Randy thought they had been driving in circles until he had finally had enough. He pulled over at the side of the road and Cody was still trying to figure out how to use a map.
"Cody!" Randy exclaimed causing Cody to look at him with tired eyes "We're switching places"
"What?" Cody questioned
"Get in the drivers seat, we have to get to the houseshow" Randy said tired "You drive and I'll navigate us"
"Sure" Cody said switching seats with Randy
Cody looked at Randy examining the map carefully
"Cody where the hell have you navigated us?" Randy asked completely puzzled
"We're supposed to be in there right?" Cody asked pointing at a path on the map far away from their destination
"No, we're supposed to be here" Randy explained pointing to pretty far away city
"Well that isn't very far away" Cody said
"It's at least 1½ hours away, get driving" Randy said exhausted
"Ok ok" Cody said starting their engine
Next morning Kaitlyn woke up at 8AM and they had a talent meeting at 10AM at the houseshow . She shook AJ and she woke up fast.
"Hey" AJ said groggily rubbing her eyes
"Sup" Kaitlyn replied quietly
"Time?" AJ asked Kaitlyn
"8AM" Kaitlyn told AJ
"Shit" AJ exclaimed shooting out of bed
"There's no rush AJ" Kaitlyn said slowly sitting up
"It takes a while for me to get ready" she said walking into the bathroom
Twenty minutes later AJ and Kaitlyn arrived downstairs to eat breakfast and after they had picked their food they sat at a 4 table and started to eat.
"Hey so how's it working with Randy?" Kaitlyn asked
"It's actually really fun to work with him" AJ said
"Do you like him?" Kaitlyn asked
"Yeah I like him, just not in the way you think I do" AJ shrugged
"Do you have a crush on him?" Kaitlyn whispered
"No!" AJ exclaimed laughing
"Are you sure?" Kaitlyn repeated not believing it
"Yes" AJ replied "I like him just not that way"
"Okay" Kaitlyn said eating some scrambled eggs
After breakfast AJ and Kaitlyn headed down to the arena for a talent meeting, which was a meeting with all the divas and superstars and talent relations informs everyone about what's going to happen. They arrived just on time and they saw everyone on the main roster and talent relations crammed in a small room. The meeting was about 1 hour and during the meeting the talent relations made it pretty clear that Randy and AJ were the main focused storyline, because the audience loved it. After the meeting all the superstars and divas split up and went to their locker rooms. Randy looked for AJ and found her with Kaitlyn chatting, so he went behind her and poked her back to get her attention.
"Hello" AJ said turning around facing Randy
"Hey" he said "Today is your turn, huh?" referring to her match today with Brie Bella
"Yes it is" AJ said awkwardly
"And I will be cheating so you can win, right?" he asked
"I believe so" AJ replied
"I'll be in the locker room, if you need me" Randy said taking his bags and leaving the two
"Wow" Kaitlyn said
"What?" AJ asked her best friend
"You like him" Kaitlyn said sporting a wide smile
This time AJ didn't say anything, 'cause the truth was that she didn't know if she was starting to fall for him.
"Hey!" A voice behind AJ shouted, she turned around to reveal Brie and her sister Nikki Bella
"Hey guys" AJ greeted the twins
"So we were wondering if you guys wanted to join us for lunch before we rehearse" Brie offered
"Sure" Kaitlyn said happily
"Great" Nikki smiled leading them out of the arena and to a nice indian restuarant. They sat in a nice booth with the Bellas on one side and the two best friends on the other side. They sat with their menus deciding what to eat and when they had decided a waiter came and took their order. While waiting for their food AJ saw something in the restuarant that wasn't supposed to be there. It was Trent sitting at a table and eating some food, AJ immediatly panicked on the inside. Thoughts racing through her head wondering why Trent was there.
"AJ?" Kaitlyn said tapping her friend on the shoulder
"Sorry" she smiled and returned to the divas conversation. Ten minutes later their food arrived and the divas ate fast and chatted alot. After paying the bill they all stood up to leave the booth and AJ looked at the place Trent was, but he was gone. Kaitlyn tapped AJ again to snap her out of her thoughts again and the 4 divas returned to the arena. Brie and AJ went backstage where a ring was set up to rehearse, they rehearsed for a long time but after passing the 3 hour mark they felt ready.
AJ headed to wardrobe and got her make up applied and was handed her ring gear, now it was time to go back to the locker room. She walked down the hall and found the locker room fast, she walked in and Randy was inside talking to Cody. But as soon as she came in Cody shot up out of his seat and left the locker room.
"That was weird" AJ said to herself placing her bags down
"What was weird?" he asked
"Sorry, thinking outloud" she explained
"Alright I'll go and do something" he said dashing out the door and AJ was confused and curious why he was he seemed nervous around her. But she decided not to pry and focus on her match instead.
Randy dashed out the door thinking about his conversation with Cody, the whole conversation was him talking about AJ and what he was feeling about her. Cody had said he had a crush on her, Randy knew it was true.
