Hey guys. I'm sorry for not updating this story as often as I should, but I got really busy and had some personal stuff I had to do. I promise to update more often and enjoy this chapter :).
Paige woke up confused and lied to.
Why did she let herself be seduced by AJ again. It made her feel sick inside.
What was she to AJ anyway? 'Cause right now she felt like AJ's toy.
She looked over at AJ, who was sound asleep resting her head on her shoulder.
She slept as if nothing had ever happened the night before. Everything was normal.
Paige moved away from AJ getting up from the bed. She didn't want it to be this way.
If AJ really loved her, she wouldn't use her like this. The question was did AJ love her or not?
Thoughts of the events that took place last night raced through Paige's mind as she looked at the scattered clothing on the floor.
She picked her bra and sweats up covering her body.
She combed her fingers through her messed up black hair in frustration.
How did this happen? It felt like being back at square one.
Questions ran rapid through her mind.
Why is AJ doing this to me? What am I to her? Am I just some kind of stress reliever?
Paige's breath became heavier as anger builded itself up inside of her.
Not at AJ alone, but with herself.
"Paige?" She heard AJ's soft voice call. She turned around to meet AJ's concerned gaze with her own full of sadness and anger.
"Paige are you okay?" AJ asked, her voice slightly shaky from seeing the look in Paige's eyes
Paige chuckled sarcastically at her comment. Was she okay? Not in the least.
"How do I look like I feel April?" Paige said trying to control the tone of her voice.
AJ could only sigh and run her fingers through her own messy black hair. She just didn't know how to respond. She knew what happened last night was wrong, but she needed to find a way, anyway to keep Paige in her life somehow.
"Paige, please listen…" "No AJ! What happened last night was wrong, and you know it!" Paige exclaimed cutting AJ off. All of the anger that had been building in that moment was released.
"Why would you do this to me AJ? Why would you use me like this? I gave everything to you AJ, and you do this to me? Make me feel like I'm just your stress reliever and you just leave when you feel guilty? With your husband in town too?! I love you April, but I don't know why I just keep letting you break my heart over and over again!" Paige said with sadness and anger embedded in her voice.
"I'I'm sorry." AJ choked out with tears running down her face.
"I,I was just afraid to lose you." AJ cried out. She felt like the pain at this point was consuming her heart.
Paige turned away and ran her fingers through her hair once again. As angry as she was, she still couldn't stand the sight of AJ crying.
"AJ, we can't keep doing this." Paige sighed massaging her temple from the headache that was coming on. "We can't live like this." She said still trying not to make eye contact with AJ.
"Paige, I still love you." AJ said softly, looking directly at Paige even if Paige didn't want to look at her.
Those five words strangled Paige's heart like no other. It was this strange mix of pain and happiness that right now felt more like pain.
"I know." Paige whispered trying to hold back her own tears. ",but you love him too." Paige said finally looking over at AJ.
AJ looked down at the floor feeling ashamed of what happened, but at the same time relieved that Paige still knew she loved her.
AJ then heard her cellphone buzz on top of her discarded shirt and picked it up to check what was the matter.
Dozens of calls and text from Phil, from last night and this morning.
"Where are you?"
"April, where are you?"
"Ape! Whats going on?! Are you alright?!"
AJ gasped clasping her hand over her mouth.
What had she done? She couldn't just leave Paige but Phil.
She looked over at Paige with a pleading look, and Paige instantly knew what the situation was.
"Go." She simply said and AJ jumped in action, picking up her clothes off of the floor and rushing into the bathroom to take a shower.
Paige sat on the bed and finally let her tears fall from her eyes.
She felt absolutely horrible. Why did her life have to be this way? AJ meant everything to her but at the same time she was the source of all of her heartache.
She heard the door of the bathroom slam and quickly tried to wipe her tears away.
When AJ exited the bathroom, their eyes landed on each other and AJ could tell Paige had been crying.
"Paige I'm so sorry." AJ whispered loud enough for Paige to hear.
"Yeah I know." Paige said emotionlessly, she had cried her emotions out at this point.
AJ opened the door and shut it quickly leaving Paige again. She grabbed her phone and sent a short text to Phil.
"Meet me in the lobby." It said and then she ran to the elevator.
When she arrived to the lobby, Phil stood there waiting and he looked furious.
"Honey, let me explain.." AJ started.
"Yes, yes would you please explain why the fuck you didn't call me last night?!" Phil said loudly.
"I.I.." AJ stuttered again, she was lost for words once again.
"I felt sick last night I asked Paige if I could stay with her since she was still in the arena." AJ said. She felt horrible for lying to her husband, but she couldn't lose him, she loved him too.
"That doesn't answer why you didn't fucking call me! You could have asked me to pick you up! I lost my shit thinking about what could have happened last night! I was out of my fucking mind!" Phil yelled a little louder.
AJ felt embarrassed but couldn't blame her husband for the way he felt.
"I.I just didn't know what to do. Paige was with me and I thought it was the right thing to do. Paige is a really good friend and…"
"Save it April! I come here just to see you and you're telling me you trust Paige more than your fucking husband?! You know I can't stand this goddamn company and you blow me off instead of calling me. You know what talk to me when you get your shit straight." Phil said cutting her off in a loud out burst.
"Phil, please forgive me I.." "Save it. You know what? I'll talk to you later." Phil said walking off leaving AJ all alone.
AJ plopped down in the lobby chair. She felt sick to her stomach. How could she lie to her husband? 'Cause she in love with someone else thats how. She felt like her heart was in two places at once and she didn't know where her love really was.
Then she heard the elevator door open, and out walked Paige suitcases in hand.
She didn't even look in AJ's direction, even though she knew she was there.
A cab was waiting to take her to the arena for Smackdown and he helped her put her bags in the trunk of the car.
Paige turned to look at AJ only once. The look she gave her was one of complete brokenness, as if she had lost everything. AJ's heart felt like it had shattered from the look in Paige's eyes, and she watched as the cab drove off with one of the people she loved.
AJ was as confused as ever. She was losing the trust of her husband and her lover was slowly losing faith in her as well.
What was she going to do?
