Broken || AJ Lee

Picking up the Pieces

Dean stood there staring at Seth in blood curtling anger before shifting his attention back to me as I ran past Seth and went straight to one of the lounging rooms.

"AJ wait up!" I heard Dean from down the hall calling for me.

I threw myself onto the couch letting the tears fall. It wasn't long before Dean was at my side.

"Shh, shh, shh." He said grabbing my hand. "It will be okay.. he doesn't deserve you. He doesn't deserve to get under your skin either."

I continued to cry when I heard another pair of foot steps enter.

"AJ. What's wrong?!" Eva esclaimed throwing her bag on the floor and sat on the edge of the couch beside me.

"Seth happened." Dean answered.

"Oh, AJ. Don't let him get to you." She hugged me from the side.

We sat in silence for a bit before my tears slowed and eventually dried up.

"There yah' go...you don't need him" Dean said whiping the final tear from my cheek.

I let out a small laugh and looked down. "I shouldn't have came tonight"

"Yes you should have AJ. Do not let him make you think you don't belong here. He doesn't matter" Dean stated lifting my chin with his finger to make me look at him.

"April, you deserve way more than him. He's just some peice of shit hot shot that thinks the world of himself. He thinks since he is apart of The Shield he is the only one that matters. You matter AJ. Not him" Eva said leaning down and pulling me into a hug.

"Thank you......but Eva.... your red hair is gaging me." I said trying to spit out her hair from my mouth.

"Opps, sorry" Eva said leaning back laughing.

"So this is the Jake you have been going on about" Eva said sticking her hand out for Jake to shake.

"Yep, this is him" I said laughing.

Jake shook Eva's hand with a small grin on his face, which was beginning to turn red.

I had taken Eva to come and meet Jake while Dean was in his match.

"So what brought ya'll together?" Eva asked curiously.

"Wandering" I answered.

"AJ had been sitting on the ramp when she saw me struggling with some boxes and she came and helped." Jake answered as well.

"Awe well how sweet of her" Eva said giving me a slight shove jokingly.

They seemed to get along quite well. The rest of the time before Dean's match was finished they blabbered on about some tv show they were both into.

Two of my best friends.

IMPORTANT (PLEASE READ) ---Okay....soo. There is about roughly 2-3 chapters left of this fanfic. I am beyond excited for the final chapter, I am sure you all who read it will be quite happy yourselves. I cannot thank you guys enough! When I started this story I thought no one would read it, now it has A LOT of loyal readers and I have two other stories that are quite successful as well. Honestly, if it wasn't for you guys who read it and really enjoy it I wouldn't of even of attempted to keep it going, and look at it now! 3 more chapters and it's completed! I had planned for it to be longer, but some ideas have been put off for what I am now going to adress.

I have asked this before, but it has been quite awhile and I just got back into updating more frequently (I had a lot of stuff at one time going on) so, would you like to see a sequel to this fanfic? Would you bother reading it? Please PLEASE give me feedback. If you do want one I have great ideas for it, but I don't want to publish it if you don't want to see one. I know I'm talking like I'm a little too big for my britches and am some hot-shot writer, but I honestly wouldn't boyher writing it if you don't want to read it because I do realise a lot of people are fans of my stories and this story in particular.

I have plans of updating my other two fanfics sometime between the next 24 hours. I have said this recently, but I put more focus into this one. I have partial chapters written for the other two.

I also have a lot of other fanfics that I do plan on doing of a lot of other superstars and divas that I am a fan of. So, stay tuned for that (if you follow me)

I am also in the process of another project on here that is not a fanfic or wrestling related. I'm working very hard on it and will not release it until all chapters are fully done and then will just release them periodically. It will be a bit, but I am working my ass off for it and am super excited for it.

Again, thank you for readjng this chapter and my 'afterword'.
