I know what you did last year
AJ did end up needing surgery to fix some nerve damage caused by the crushing of her hand and in a few weeks she'd be as good as knew but for right now she was only able to use one hand and it didn't seem to bother her but it bothered everyone else. She refused to ask for help with anything.
"You're only going to make it worse." Dean warned from the couch as he watched AJ try to make herself something for dinner.
"I'm fine." She snapped. "Tell him Renee." She said
"Let her do this." Renee told him.
"She's going to hurt her hand more if she keeps trying to use it." Dean sighed annoyed.
"Stop annoying me." AJ warned then gave up on dinner and walked over to her medicine that was given to her to avoid infection.
"You're going to need help opening that." Dean smiled smugly. "Bring it over."
"No." AJ hissed trying to use her right hand, which wasn't her dominate hand and her teeth to open it.
"Where is Punk?" Renee asked Dean.
"He's at work." AJ said annoyed before Dean could answer. "I'm not allowed back to work until tomorrow even though I'm completely fine."
"Yea you're great." Dean laughed looking towards the TV. "You need that medicine and if you don't get it opened in the next three minutes I'm going to do it whether you like it or not." He warned.
"I'm going to work." AJ said annoyed grabbing her bag.
"No you're going to stay in this apartment and not make me chase you." Dean threatened. "Do you even understand how lucky you are that your hand was the worst of it?"
"What do you want me to do Dean?" AJ asked annoyed.
"Stop being so fucking stubborn and let us help you!" Dean yelled.
"Dean." Renee hissed.
"No it's fine." AJ said to her. "I don't need your help Dean I can take care of myself."
"How come you let Punk help you?" Dean asked her curiously. "Is it because he gives you dick?"
"Dean!" Renee shouted.
"No because Phil doesn't treat me like a child." AJ informed him. "He genuinely wants to help me."
"What the fuck do you think I'm doing here!" Dean laughed holding his arms up in defeat.
"You're just being Dean." She said annoyed walking towards her bedroom.
"What does that mean?" Dean laughed.
"It means you're being a jerk!" She yelled then slammed her door.
"You purposely upset her." Renee said to him.
"I am not I'm just trying to help her and she's biting my head off. She can't possibly be PMSing still." He snorted.
"Don't say something so sexist. She's bored, she's hurt, she's in pain and she's taken care of everyone her whole life she's not used to people trying to take care of her." Renee said standing up and walking over to her medicine and opening it. "Sometimes it's easier to just do it then to ask to do it."
"I'm starting to think she doesn't want me around anymore." Dean admitted. "I thought it was you at first but she seems to like you now so I guess its me."
"You two are in two different places she's in a relationship, you're in a relationship and things change." Renee shrugged. "Also maybe she's still mad at you."
"Mad at me?" he scoffed. "I didn't do shit."
"Didn't you tell me at the first meeting you ever went to you were there because you hit her?" Renee asked.
"I didn't hit her." Dean said coldly. "I pushed her."
"Same thing Dean." Renee said to him. "After that you got hurt and just left. You broke trust and then you came back without even talking about it."
"Punk did it too." Dean said childishly.
"Punk isn't her brother, Punk said goodbye also Punk didn't put his hands on her. He never broke that trust." Renee pointed out. "I think she has some resentment against you."
"So she should fucking say it." Dean argued.
"Maybe she's afraid." Renee shrugged.
"Of me?" he asked slowly. "I wouldn't hurt her-"
"Not of you pushing her again but of you taking off again or maybe taking a drink?" Renee suggested. "This happens when people are in recovery they're afraid the smallest things will set you off." She then placed AJ's two pills in his hand. "Go in there and try to be nice and remember you're the one that messed up."
"Fucking annoying." Dean grunted standing up and walked towards AJ's room.
Punk was in his shared office with Corey and thankfully Corey wasn't around today so he had the office to himself and it was the perfect day to call in who he had been wanting to see.
"Hey you wanted to see me?" Maria asked peeking her head into his office.
"Yea come on in." he nodded for her to enter with a friendly voice.
Maria walked into the office and closed the door as she turned around Punk was nose to nose with her and his face was red.
"Phil-" she started.
"Shut your fucking mouth." He hissed.
Maria was frightened and tried to walk out the door but Punk placed his hand against the door and pressed his body into hers keeping her pinned against the door.
"I know you set me up." He said in a cold and scary voice.
"What are you-" Maria started again.
"I know you set me up!" He screamed slamming his hand against the door causing her to cry out in fear. "You lured me to your fucking school so that fucking animal could break into AJ's place!"
"I didn't know that!" Maria swore crying.
"You came out of nowhere! Mike wasn't there! You fucking lied!" He yelled. "I shouldn't have believed you to begin with because you're a proven fucking liar but your lie got AJ hurt really badly and that is unforgivable."
"You're one to talk about lying!" Maria said shoving Punk out of her personal space. "I would never set up your girlfriend. I don't blame her for you being fucking a pig!"
"You're friends with him you went to prison to see him all of the time and I'm supposed to believe the day you ask me for help it's just an coincidence that Ryan is hiding in my girlfriends apartment?" Punk demanded to know.
"I didn't know anything! They probably set me up too!" Maria defended.
"I'm done with you." Punk said not believing her. "You're dead to me."
"Phil!" Maria said stunned.
"I mean it. Don't ever come to me again don't ask for my help and worry about my brother and his criminal band of psychopath friends on your own because I'm over it." Punk informed her. "Get the fuck out of my life."
"7 years together and that's how you talk to me?" Maria asked astonished.
"I'm at my wits end Maria." Punk said simply.
"Or maybe you're just not happy here." Maria said to him. "Maybe she's not making you as happy as you thought she would."
"She is." Punk said with a smug smile. "She makes me incredibly happy actually so the fact that Ryan stomped on her hand and had to undergo five hours worth surgery to attempt to fix it really pisses me off."
"I hope she's ok. And I hope you get your shit together because it's only a matter of time before your temper gets the best of you and she sees how cruel you really can be." Maria informed him as she stepped outside of his office. "Maybe you and your brother aren't so different after all."
Punk decided to stop in his apartment before going down to see AJ and check in. He just needed a shower and to cool down but when he turned on the light in his bedroom he found AJ curled in his bed sleeping above the blankets. He walked over to her and kissed the top of her head causing her to stir and wakeup.
"Hi." She smiled.
"Hi." He greeted back. "Not that I mind but what are you doing here?"
"I can't be around Dean." She admitted.
"You two are still fighting?" He frowned.
"He's driving me nuts." AJ admitted. "He tried to talk to get me to take my medicine and he was just so annoying and rude I just left."
"Did you take your medicine?" Punk questioned.
"I threw it at his head." She admitted.
"You need to take it." He said slipping his shoes back on.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
"I'm going to get your medicine and some clothes. Maybe you should just stay here with me for a few days?" he suggested. "I'd hate to come home one day to see you and Dean killed each other."
"I think he hates me." AJ said sitting up. "Something has changed in the year he was gone. He realizes that I remind him too much of Robbie and I'm afraid he's always going to go back to drinking."
"You can't live in fear of saying the wrong thing in your own apartment." Punk pointed out.
"Hey before you go how was work?" she asked him. "Tell me everything!"
"You'll be back tomorrow." He reminded her sitting on the bed. "But before you hear it from someone else Maria was at the office."
"Oh did she see cry wolf again?" AJ mocked.
"I flipped out on her." He admitted. "I've never spoken to her or anyone like that before."
"Why did you do that?" AJ frowned.
"She set you up." Punk said to her. "I can't forgive that."
"Yea but who really knows? Just leave it alone maybe the fact that Ryan was arrested will scare them off." She said to him.
"Or piss them off more." Punk said to her.
"Look how they keep slipping up." AJ pointed out. "It's only a matter of time before your brother does the same thing. You need to forget about it. Ryan was the only one that bothered me and he's gone now."
"I can take the heat I don't want you to have to." Punk said to her.
"I have a broken hand and it could have been worse." AJ reminded him.
"That's all I can think about." Punk admitted.
"Are you regretting moving to New York and being with me?" she asked fearfully.
"The only I regret I have is not moving here sooner." He said to her. "I feel so normal with you. It's just right. But I feel like I have to go find my brother-"
"Don't!" AJ said with urgency. "Leave it alone Phil."
"What they did to you-" he started.
"It was Ryan and he's been arrested don't poke a sleeping lion." She begged.
"If it happened to me I'd leave it but its you." He said to her.
"I don't need you to defend my honor." She laughed lightly.
"Yea you do because it's what a man does and every time I feel like things are going good he does something to make me feel inadequate." Punk confided.
"You're not inadequate." She assured him. "You're amazing and I know when you're near I'm safe."
"I fee like a chicken shit." He admitted.
"No you're not. A chicken is hiding out in an apartment and jumping someone in the dark." AJ said to him kissing his cheek.
"Let me go get your stuff." He said starting to stand up but AJ used her good arm to tug him back on the bed and he landed on his back. "You are freakishly strong."
"I've missed you while you've been out working." She said straddling his body.
"I don't know about this." He said eyeing her hand.
"I'll be fine." She said with a grin. "I just can't use this hand so you'll do most of the work." He then flipped her gently under her arm.
"You're not in pain?" he asked her.
"Not in my hand." She teased.
Punk gently tugged her t-shirt over her head and then moved down to her pants and pulled them off of her legs swiftly. Punk placed kisses up her torso as he made his way back up to her face slowly. Punk's hand slid under her panties and he began to thrust his fingers into her moist opening as he kissed her mouth. It didn't take long for AJ to come and when she did she let out the neediest and most arousing moan that Punk had ever heard making him harder than before.
"You liked that?" he asked nuzzling his nose against hers and she nodded.
"Yes." She sighed with pleasure and accepted the two fingers that were just inside of her into her own mouth. She sucked on them greedily as Punk grinded his hardness into her through his jeans and against her damp panties.
"You are so hot doing that." He admitted without shame as he grinded harder into her causing her to let out a yelp.
Once Punk removed his fingers from her mouth he captured her mouth again and could taste her juices as his tongue greedily roamed her mouth. AJ tried to remove his jeans but her broken hand caused it to be difficult. Without opening his eyes or removing his mouth from hers he gently pushed her injured hand away and continued to kiss her.
"I need you." She said pulling away from the kiss and looking up at him with her cute little doe eyes.
"I need you more." He said giving her one last kiss before sitting up but still straddling her. He lifted his shirt with ease over his head and tossed it onto the floor then undid his jeans and tugged them halfway down before pressing his body back into hers.
Punk grabbed himself and guided his hard member into AJ's waiting body. He began his routine of hard but slow thrusts into her body causing her body to inch up the bed every time he connected. AJ's feet were flat on the bed and her knees were spread as she gave Punk's body the room he needed. She knew she couldn't do much with a bad hand and just trusted him to push her to the edge and he didn't disappoint.
"Faster." She pleaded as she used her good to roam his back and rest at his ass and give it a hard pinch to try to push him faster.
Punk began to move faster in and out of her body but kept the same level impact and AJ was going crazy. She was trapped under his body with nowhere to go as she screamed in utter pleasure. Her hand was now at his back clawing at it and she didn't let up until he was bleeding from the scratches. Thankfully for Punk's back she finally came and after two more thrusts he exploded inside of her.
A half hour later Punk made it the few floors down to AJ's apartment and just let himself in. Dean was sitting on the couch watching TV clearly looking pissed off.
"Where's Renee?" Punk asked him.
"She went home for the night." Dean said not even looking away from the TV.
"You have AJ's medicine?" Punk asked him.
"Oh the counter." Dean said folding his arms.
"What is your deal man?" Punk asked him. "Why are you still giving her such a hard time?"
"I'm not doing shit." Dean said finally looking at him. "She's the one that's pissed. She doesn't forgive me for pushing her, she doesn't forgive me for the shit I said and she doesn't forgive me for the night I left."
"I know about the pushing and the arguing but what happened the night you left?" Punk asked.
"She never told you?" Dean asked him.
"No or I wouldn't have asked." Punk said grabbing her medicine bottle.
"Just talk to her about it." Dean said to him looking back at the TV.
"What did you do?" Punk asked him.
"Nothing I care to talk about." Dean laughed.
"It's obviously causing a lot of tension." Punk noted trying to get to the bottom of it.
"Believe me you don't want to know." Dean chuckled.
"You slept with her." Punk frowned. He had already suspected it since there was jealousy on AJ's part with Renee and the way her and Dean were awkward with each other since h bought him back to New York.
"I did." Dean admitted and Punk looked up at the ceiling to count to ten. He wasn't sure if he was madder at Dean for sleeping with her or AJ for not telling him. "Don't be mad at her." Dean said looking over to him. "I was drunk and messed up." Punk just nodded not sure what to do now. "It only happened the one time and you were gone."
"Yea." Punk forced out.
"I left that next morning." Dean said to him. "I didn't say a word to her. We've never discussed it maybe that's where the tension is."
"Probably is." Punk said trying to remain calm. "Why? I thought she was like your sister."
"That's why we both regret it." Dean said to him. "I was depressed, she was depressed and it happened."
"It must have meant something to her for her not to mention it to me." Punk said to him.
"Maybe she didn't want you to be all pissy with me." Dean shrugged.
"Why would I be?" Punk asked with an annoyed laugh. "So what you fucked my girlfriend I mean we weren't together or anything but who cares right?" he laughed again. "It's not like you live with her or anything either."
"It wasn't like that. It didn't even last long." Dean laughed and Punk glared at him. "Not what you wanted to hear was it?" he laughed. "Trust me there's nothing going on between us and if I can take back what we did I would because clearly there's a rift between caused by it.. Renee is pissed too."
"So that's why she's not here." Punk noted with a laugh. "This is fucking great."
"It's on me don't blame her." Dean said standing up.
"It takes two tango." Punk said to him. "I'm not mad it happened I'm mad I was lied to."
"Did you give her a run down of every woman you fucked in the last year?" Dean asked him.
"I'm not living with them." Punk pointed out.
"You bought me back." Dean reminded him.
"Wouldn't have if I had known this." Punk said then walked out of the apartment.
Punk walked back into his place and AJ was at the counter looking at food menus.
"Did you want pizza?" she asked but he didn't respond. She looked up and watched as he glared at her as he placed her medicine bottle on the counter. Her heart sank because she knew he knew. "Phil-"
"You didn't think I had a right to know?" Punk asked her.
"Let me just-" she started.
"Don't fucking talk!" Punk yelled. "You lied to my face! You think that's ok!"
"I didn't lie." She said instantly crying. "You never asked when you came back who I had been with!"
"You fucked Dean! You live with him! You didn't think that would bother me?" he asked her coldly.
"That's why I didn't tell you!" She insisted jumped off the counter chair.
"No I'm really starting to think you didn't tell me because you have feelings for him." Punk hissed at her.
"No!" She yelled out. "I hate him for it! That's why we can't even be in the same room anymore!"
"Are you mad because he left?" Punk asked her. "Did you want to be with him and was pissed he left?"
"No I was pissed he left without saying goodbye, I was pissed it happened to begin with, I was pissed because it was something that has tainted our friendship!" she argued.
"Tell me." Punk said to her.
"What?" she asked.
"Tell me about that night." He encouraged. "I want to know how great he was, who started it, and how much you really fucking liked it."
"Fine." She said folding her arms.
Dean had just walked in after getting jumped for the second time by Mike's group of friends. This time they weren't as bad on him probably because he was wasted.
"Dean again?" she sighed as he fell onto the couch.
"Just fuck off AJ." Dean said pushing her hand away as she tried to inspect his cut.
"Stop cursing at me! I'm just trying to help you!" she yelled reaching for his cut again but he grabbed both of her wrists and tugged her so she was kneeling down and looking directly into his eyes.
"I don't want nor need your fucking help." He hissed. "You want to help get me a fucking beer." He said to her.
"Why are you acting like this?" she asked him.
"Because I'm pissed off AJ so just leave me alone." He said to her.
"Just let me help you." She pleaded. "Please I'll do anything." She said holding back tears.
Dean tugged AJ by her wrists onto the couch and landed right on top of her. He pressed his lower half into hers and kissed her without warning. He didn't know why, he was drunk and already knew this was a mistake. He wasn't sure how into AJ was but she didn't really pull away she seemed to just want to make him feel better.
Dean pulled his lips away from her and looked down at her face. He couldn't stand to look at her face, which was unreadable mostly because he was so drunk. Dean sat up and rolled her onto her stomach so he didn't have to look at her face. He reached under her long night shirt and pulled her underwear down and just lowered his zipper to free himself and began to thrust into her from behind.
AJ was gripping the arm of the couch because Dean was being to rough with her but she never told him to stop. She let him use her body to make himself feel better so it didn't matter how wrong it felt or how bad it made her body feel. She'd just lay there and take it until he was done.
"Fucking cum AJ." He hissed which was the only words he said to her during the entire interaction. She never did because this was wrong and both knew it. He did come about ten minutes later and pulled out of her quickly.
He'd never forget AJ's embarrassed face as she pulled her underwear back on and got off of the couch. He used the only person who loved him for him and took care of him. He blew the last good thing in his life. He looked towards her and watched as she held back tears.
"If you need me to fix that cut let me now." She said then hurried into her bedroom and shut the door. He even heard her lock it behind her, something she never did.
"Happy?" AJ asked him.
"No." Punk said to her already feeling bad.
"Maybe I didn't tell you because I was embarrassed." AJ said to him.
"Or maybe you were embarrassed for him." Punk said to her then walked towards the door.
"You're really taking this that bad? You're leaving?" she asked him.
"I'm going downstairs to punch him in his face." Punk said to her.
"Don't!" she begged. "This is why I didn't tell you."
"How can you defend him?" Punk asked her. "How can you still want him in your life?"
"We made a mistake, he made a bad choice and I didn't stop him." AJ reminded him. "He's still my family."
"Family doesn't do that." Punk laughed bitterly.
"I don't need you to hit him I need you to help me fix this." She said to him and he let out a real loud laugh.
"You think I'm going to help you mend that friendship?" He asked still laughing. "I don't even want you living with him anymore."
"I can't do that." AJ sighed.
"Sure you can." Punk said to her. "I'm not comfortable with you two living together anymore. Actually I was never comfortable with it now I just have more of a reason to hate it."
"Why would he tell you this? Didn't he know you'd react this way?" AJ asked herself annoyed.
"He told me because the guilt is eating at him as it fucking should." Punk said to her. "And don't think I'm still not pissed about you lying."
"I didn't lie!" AJ laughed. "You didn't ask who I was with while we were apart."
"I shouldn't have had to ask." Punk laughed in an annoyed manner. "You should have told me that the man you were living with had fucked you!"
"You bought him back!" AJ pointed out. "He was gone and you called him and asked him to come back and live with me."
"You should have told me regardless." Punk said standing his ground.
"Who did you sleep with in the last year?" AJ asked.
"No one I'm living with." Punk laughed.
"I mean it I want to know every woman you were with while we were apart." AJ said to him.
"Fine." Punk said grabbing a notepad and ripping off a piece of paper. "I want a list from you too."
"I can't write." She reminded him holding her broken hand up. "Besides I don't need to make a list my list is short."
"So is mine." Punk said and she laughed. "Don't laugh at me. I'm not some man slut."
"And I'm a slut?" AJ asked narrowing her eyes at him.
"No!" he said to her quickly. "I was with five women in the last year."
"That sounds sluitsh." AJ shrugged.
"It wasn't I was with each one once." Punk defended.
"I was with Dean once you hypocrite." AJ argued.
"I also didn't live with any of this women." Punk grinned arrogantly.
"I was with Corey, Dean and Paul." AJ said and Punk felt his heart stop. "I'm kidding about Paul come on!"
"That's not funny." Punk said to her seriously.
"This is all ridiculous." AJ said. "I don't care who you were with because I'm with you now and I'm sorry I should have told you about Dean but it's not something I wanted to talk about it wasn't a good time. There's no jealousy over Renee the tension between is probably one sided from me. I'm mad at him for not just the sex but a lot of things."
"You should be." Punk said to her quietly. "He sucks."
"He's changed now though and I don't want to bring it up to him and cause him to drink." AJ admitted. "Can we just stop talking about it forever preferably?"
"Not forever but at least the night." Punk said to her.
"I'll take it." She said relieved. "I really do love you." She said walking over to him and hugging him.
"I know." He said hugging her back. "I love you too."
"Can we just order a pizza, pig out and then I need help taking a bath." She said to him.
"Need me to wash your back?" he teased.
"And my front." She teased. "Can't get my cast wet."
"Yea I think I can arrange that." He said with a cute smile.
Maria walked into her apartment and let out a gasp seeing Mike seeing on her couch.
"Get out of here." Maria warned.
"I just want to talk, you keep avoiding me." Mike defended.
"Because you are sick! Phil blames me for what you did to AJ!" Maria yelled. "How could you do that?"
"I didn't do a damn thing to her that was Ryan." Mike said to her. "I also know you tried to sic my little brother on me."
"I want you to stop stalking me!" Maria yelled. "I'm calling the police actually." She reached into her purse but someone behind her grabbed her by the wrist.
"I thought we were friends?" Randy asked holding Maria.
"Yea Maria." Mike smiled standing up and walking towards her. "Alberto put on the radio." He instructed and Maria saw a third man in her apartment now and knew what was about to happen to her….
