Chapter 1

Aj's POV

*Cell phone ringing*

Gah what the fuck! Who is calling me at three am? Don't they know people are sleep around this time. I swear whoever this is they better be fucking be dying or they will be dead. Of course this happens on my days off at home, it's bad enough it's raining, thundering, and lightning outside.

"Hello?" I groggily answered. I didn't look at the caller ID so I don't know who it it. It's too early for that shit. It was answered by a sniffle and a cracking voice.

"Are you up?" Wait I know this voice. And I unfortunately have heard it many times now sounding just like this.

"Paige hun what's the matter? Why are you crying?" I asked worriedly. Paige and I have been pretty close for a while now. We have been ever since they higher power made me go down to help train the NXT Divas. I liked her because she was the only one who actually knew what she was doing in the ring, and she actually put up a fight when I rough housed with her. None to mention that accent of hers is so dreamy and it makes it impossible for me to ignore her talking.

"He's such a jerk I hate him!" She sobbed. I can barely hear what she's saying because all I hear is rain and lightning. "God I hate him so much!" After hearing her say that I quickly got out of bed and began getting dressed. I gotta go get her.

"Paige where are you?"

"I don't know.. We got into an argument and then he pushed me and so I pushed him back.. And then he hit me so I stormed out. That was ten minutes ago, I've been walking ever since." She choked out.

"Okay babe stay where you are I'm coming to get you now." This hasn't been the first time she has called me like this. And so I thank God for the apps where you can track your IPhone because without it I'd never be able to find her.

"Can you hurry I'm scared." She murmured "I didn't know who else to call."

"I know I'm leaving now." I spoke pulling on my jacket and headed out the door. It is absolutely raining cats and dogs out here. I don't like the thought of her walking around out here by herself.

"Please don't hang up I don't want to be alone right now. And it's freezing out here."

"I didn't plan on it..." I then pulled out of my parking space and followed the directions on my phone that should lead me to her. It only took ten minutes for me to find her. When I spotted her she was walking down the street so I pulled up and got out. I didn't need to say anything to her I just walked up to her and pulled her I for a hug. And she broke down in my arms and cried so I just held her. "Paige baby come on get in the car and I'll take you home."

"I don't want to go back to him."

"I know.. I wouldn't take you back to him if my life depended on it." I spoke honestly as I opened the car door for her. Good thing these seats are pleather because the both of us are now completely soaked. Once she got in I closed the door and then got in myself. It was a silent ride home besides her sniffing and random sneezing. Once we arrived at my apartment we walked in and did what we normally do when this happens. "Umm why don't you take off your clothes and you can borrow some of mine." I spoke as I lead her to my bedroom and to my dresser where I keep my pajamas.

"I'm sorry if I woke you it's just I didn't know what to do. And you're my only friend who I trust enough to do this for me." She said sheepishly. I would do anything for her.

"No it's fine I'm just happy you're okay." I shrugged as I handed her a pair of sweatpants and a tank top. It was then that I noticed a rather large hand print on her cheek. "Oh my gosh Paige your cheek... What did he do to you?" I asked with a lot of concern. She just looked down at her hands and started to cry again. "I'm sorry hun it's just I don't like seeing you like this.. I don't like what he's doing to you." I cooed hugging her. She just gently pushed me off her.
