CHP 2

The next morning the whole family went to the AEW, Journee who still paused about the story, she wanted answers, while being around the other kids, she started looking for her parents, she went from room to room and still could not find them until she found her father speaking to others. 

"Daddy!!" she calls running to him, Maxwell hearing his daughter, he smiles and lift her up in his arms, 

"What are you doing?"  he asked, Journee holds onto her father's neck. "The Story Dad" she said, making Maxwell laugh. 

"What story?" asked one of the guys. Maxwell looks at him but Journee decided to answer "Dad told me fairytale last night about a jerk who meets and falls in love with an angel, she punched in the face" she said. 

"Punched?.... Oh wait" the guy said before he laughs. "Be quiet Nick" Max said, Nick who trying to hold in his laugh started to nudge Max, "I want to hear the rest of the story" she admits.

Then Maxwell sighs "Babygirl, I can't right now, Daddy is pretty busy-"

"You Know Journee, that fairytale is somewhat true" Nick mentions. Journee's eyes sparkled and widened6, Maxwell shows his stern face. 

"Really? How?"

"Because I was there..." Nick says, Journee then reaches out to Nick to hold her, kindly he picks her up "How were you there?"

Nick tries hard to laugh. "I was the Jerk's friend." 

"Are you still friends?"

"Of course."

Journee smiles. "So, what happen after the angel punch him." 

-------------

"That bitch!" shouts Maxwell holding his nose with an ice pack, Nick and Christian both look at him, "And you didn't deserve it?" Asked Nick crossing his arms, Maxwell rolls his eyes "Whatever."

"You need to apologize to her, ASAP" said Christian, Maxwell looks at him like he was crazy, "Why?"

"Let me break it down for you, Roxanne Perez is Booker T's protege. She's the main attraction to NXT right and just imagine the headline; 'MJF GETS SLAP BY ROXANNE PEREZ DUE' you want the press on your name?"

Maxwell scoffs. "Please", Nick shakes his head, "Your gonna ruin this deal and collab big time you need to aside that big ego you got" said Christian before leaving, 

"But she punched me-"

"Doesn't matter" said Nick, "Alright I'll talk to her." 

----------
"Carla, you have really cost a line!" shouted Shawn, Carla who was icing her hand was getting somewhat of lecture, since punching the AEW Champion. 

"Why you can't think before you act, this is one of the biggest collaborates of WWE and you punching him is not the right move" he said, Carla rolls her eyes, 

"He's a jerk who disrespect me and I don't respect that-." 

"It doesn't he the AEW champion, he's the most talk about wrestler in the world right now, put aside any issues you have with him, because you're not only going to apologize" he starts.

"What else?"

"You and Him are gonna start promoting together-"

"WHAT?! I DON'T WANT TO BE ANYWHERE NEAR HIM!" Carla screams, Shawn then puts his hand up "Carla, this isn't up for debate" stated Shawn, feeling defeated Carla gets up and leaves, they always did this to her, make her do things that she didn't want to do. "Can't believe I have to promote with him" she said walking away,

While Carla was walking, she saw MJF coming out of the medic room icing his nose, watching him she did feel bad, she does hit too hard so without thinking she walks over to him, 

"....."

"Is it broken?" she asked, Maxwell looks at her, before laughing quietly. "We'll if it isn't the lady of the hour" he said, Carla tries to calm down, "Look, I'm sorry... just let me help" she said before grabbing a towel. 

"I don't need your help-"

"Come on-" 

Then in that moment they both lock eyes, Carla touching his face with towel, Maxwell remain still but without thinking he gently stroking her hand. "I-I...I-I'm sor..ry" she tried to say. 

"MAX!" A voice called, making the two stop the locking eyes, Maxwell backs away from Carla, next a brunette came behind to hug Maxwell, "I was looking for you, Christian said you got hurt, what happened to your nose" she said, Maxwell focus his attention to her.

"I just got hurt it's fine baby" he claims, Carla breathe slowly, "Roxanne Perez, she came to check on me" he also said, Carla still in daze nods in agreement. 

"This is Alicia my girlfriend" He mentions, "Nice to meet you... I... I was just telling Mr. Friedman, that I would be honored to work with for the collab" Carla said, Max smiles. 

"Likewise," 

Alicia nods before she and Max left, leaving Carla puzzled and dazed even more, 

"What was that?"

-----------

The next few days, Carla and Maxwell were promoting for AEW/WWE team up, from interviews and photoshoots. Even though she didn't like him, she had to put aside any rude feelings towards Maxwell, and it was hard enough.

---------

"So I don't understand, if the angel didn't like him why she offered to help?" asked a very curious Journee eating an apple while talking to Nick, "I really don't know kiddo, I thought the same way you did, but I guess since Angels are helpers and she somewhat caused his pain she wanted to help. 

Journee nods "So, did they become friends?"

Nick sighs. "Uh, during the time they were together.... due to the.... event, I wouldn't call them becoming friends" 

Journee looks at him. ''They became enemies?"

"No sweetie, let's say they started to like each other"

Journee gasps "Really?"

 Nick nods. "But problems happened, The Angel belong to another"
