I arrive at the new hotel and Dean goes and pukes in the toilet before getting up and brushing his teeth. "Let me give Stephanie a call." I say. I call her and she tells me to come up to her office/hotel room. I pull him out the door and we go up there. Dean is a little tired. I knock on the door and Stephanie answers. "Come on in." She says. We walk in and sit on the couch. "So, how are you Dean?" He shrugs. "I've been better." He says. "So, what's wrong with him? Other than that black eye." "A concussion, major concussion and bruised back. He won't be able to wrestle for at least a month." She sighs and says "We are gonna send you home just chill at home. When you are 100% you can join us again. As for you AJ, we like keeping everyone in pairs or threes. You are gonna be traveling and rooming with Brie Bella." She says. I nod. "Okay." I say. "When am I leaving?" He asks. "We can have a flight for tomorrow." She says. "He can't fly for two weeks and he isn't cleared to drive." I say. "Seth's limo driver can take him home." She says. "Tonight." She then adds. "Okay." I say. He nods and we leave going up to our room. He smirks. "I hate to leave you." I give him a hug. "It's okay." I say. We sit down on the couch and he wraps an arm around me. "By the time I get back, we need to go out and hang." He says putting emphasis on hang. "Yeah, sure. It sounds fun but for today I'm sleeping." I say. "Come on and sleep in my bed." He says as he leads me into his room.
I wake up being shaken by Dean. "We gotta leave." He says. I sigh but stand up and say "Oh, its gonna be another month till I see you." He shrugs. "In no time. Just remember on Monday, I want you to go out there and give Seth that briefcase." I smile. "Okay, see ya soon." I say before giving him a kiss and us both leaving going our separate ways. When I first arrive at the arena Paige and Brie walk over. "Hey, we heard about Dean. How is if going?" Brie asks. I shrug. "He just left, but I have my plan." I say with a smirk. "Well, we heard you and Brie are now travel buddies. I'm still stuck with Roman." Roman comes up behind her. "What did you say about me?" He asks. She jumps a tiny bit. "Nothing." She says. "How was Dean doing earlier?" He asks. "Uhm, pretty good. He puked then slept all day." "What did you do?" Paige asks with a smirk. "Sleep." "Where?" Roman asks. I flip them off. Paige and Roman laugh. "Whatever, how was last night?" Brie asks. "Long. I got home at 12, then had to go to the hospital at 8 to get Dean out, drive here which took 4 hours. I just can't wait to sleep." I say. Dean's injury has really put a toll on me. "Well, on the bright side we get to travel together." Brie says. "True. I just hope I don't have a match today." I say. She shrugs. "Let's go see." They all say. We go over to the clipboard. The second match is me against Paige. "Yay, we get to fight again." I say to her. "As long as I win I don't care." She says with a smirk. "Okay." I say. I go to the Divas locker room and get dressed in my ring attire. Even though Dean wasn't here I was determined to do good for him, even if it meant beating my best friend. When it was time for Paige and I's match I stretched and left with the Divas title. I skipped out to the ring and a few people were confused why Dean wasn't there. Paige skips out mocking me. "So, AJ Lee. This time you gonna give me a title match? I already beat you on Raw." She says. "Yeah, I'll admit that I lost but I'm not giving up this title." I say. She shrugs and we both set our mics down and precced to have a normal match. I end up beating Paige this time and I skip out of the ring. I go backstage extremely tired. Brie greets me. "Great match." She says with a smile. "Thanks. Do you have a match tonight?" I ask. "No, but I have to accompany Nikki." She says. I sigh. "Is it cool if you go and get a ride from who ever got you here? I usually will stay but I'm really tired today." She nods. "Its okay, I know how you feel when Daniel was injured. So I know you and your boyfriend must be stressed." I shrug about to object but she tells me "You can go. Just put the key in my bag along with the number." She says. I nod and head to the locker room and get all ready to leave. I put the key on her bag along with the number. I leave and go to the hotel and set my stuff in Deans room leaving open Bries door. I turn around going into the kitchen for the water and see Dean. I smile and walk over. "How are you still here?" I ask. "I asked if I could leave tomorrow at 8 am. They agreed so I get to spend the night with you." He says with a smile. "How ya feeling?" "Like a pregnant woman, my head hurts, I feel dizzy/drowsy, and my back hurts." He says. I smile and give him a kiss on the cheek. "I'm going to bed, feel free to join." I say. He smirks as I turn around. He grabs my hand as I walk away. We walk into his bedroom and I close the door. We both change into Pajamas. He changes into basketball shorts and no shirt, I change into a pair of fleece pajama pants and a sports bra. We both lay in bed and I turn off the overhead light. We lay facing each other. I smile into his eyes before I turn away from him and he wraps an arm around me as we both drift off to sleep.
I wake up to chuckling, I look over past Dean and see Paige, Brie and Roman. Dean still sleeping. I point to the door. "Why?" I ask drowsily. "You and him are adorable." Paige says. "You wake me up at 7 giggling in the corner of our room." I say. "Because we were gonna go out to the gym, and we thought you would want to join." Roman says. "Wasn't he supposed to leave yesterday?" Brie asks. "Yeah, but be is leaving today at 8." I say. "When were you planning on getting up?" Roman asks with a smirk. "Thirty minutes from now." I say. Dean peaks in by the doorframe. I look over and be groans limping, making some strange noises before going back into the room and shutting the door. "Well, Sleeping beauty is up." I say with a smirk. "I heard that." He says. "Do you want to go to the gym? We can also go out for coffee before we leave?" Paige says. "Uhm, I'm good. I don't like working out before traveling, so maybe another time. While you just hang out at the gym I'm gonna watch some anime." I say. Roman smirks before nodding. Dean walks back out going into the Kitchen. Still no shirt. "AJ. Where are the cups?" He asks. "One sec." I say. I go into the kitchen and say "They were behind those bowls, but I can't reach it." I say. "Why not?" He whines. "I'm too short." I mumble. "Why is that?" He asks. "Shut up." I say. "I'm making coffee. Want any?" He asks. "No, I don't want your germs." "A concussion and a cold are two different things." He says. "Doesn't seem like it." I say before walking out. "Sorry, but maybe another time." I say. "When are we coming home?" Paige asks. "12-2 maybe." Brie says. I nod and say "See ya later." They nod and all leave. Dean comes out and says "I wish I could sleep." "You have a 10 hour car trip. Sleep then." I say. He does that smirk where his dimples really show. "What do we do now?" He asks. I shrug. "I dunno, what do you wanna do?" I ask. "We never have really had a normal conversation about one another." He says. I sit on the couch and he sits next to me. "So, what do you want to know?" I ask. "Where are you from? How is your childhood?" He asks. "I'm from Union city, my childhood wasn't awful. At times we were living in a car with my mom, dad and the rest of my family but we had hope and love so we never gave up on one another, we were constantly moving from apartment, to apartment because we couldn't afford them." He smiles. "Exes. Still keep in contact?" I shrug. "We work with one and he recently had came to talk to me but other than that no. What about you?" "Um, my dad was in jail when I was a kid. Was there once or twice. My mom died in a bath tub. Renne still talks to me, but only for interviews." He says. I nod, him and Renee were a slightly less powerful power couple. They were so cute. Dean really loved her and she really loved him. They became so dependant on one another it drove them apart. I hated Dean, but I loved what they had. As soon as one walked in the room you could feel the love in the air and even though they kept their relationship exclusive yet everyone knew about it, which also means when they broke up it was tearing everyone including them apart. "I'm sorry." I say. "What for?" He asks. "I know how much you loved her." I say. Be shrugs. "Enough about depressing shit. Why'd you become a wrestler?" He asks. "It was a dream and passion that I had always had since I was little. I love this business so much." He smiles. "What?" I ask. "Nothing." He says. "What about you?" "What do you mean? I'm just as passionate about this, its been my life for about 10 years and I can't believe I get to make a career out of something I love. Especially since I quit highschool for this career." He says. "I know." I say. He gives a confused look. "How?" He asks. "When you kiss, its how you can tell, besides you let this company glorify you for the good and the bad and just get excited by the smallest thing that you get to do for this company." I say. He smirks. "I think you just said I was a good kisser." I glare. "Oh shut the fuck up." I say. His smirk grows into a smile. "What did I say wrong?" He asks faking to be hurt. "Nothing. Oh nothing." I say. "Do you ever think that you can love again after loving again?" Dean asks out of no where. "Yes, you might be scared to but, in the end you can love but to the extent is dependable."  I said. "Wow." He says. "What?" I ask. "I never noticed how deep and beautiful you could be at the same time." I smile. "Awe, your so sweet." He smirks. "Wanna watch TV for the remaining thirty minutes I see you?" He asks. "Sure. Can we watch cartoons?" I ask. "Hell yeah, what do you want to watch?" He asks. "The Simpsons." I say. I haven't watched in a while. I would watch some cowboy bebop but I don't think he would be up for that. "Do you really want to watch that?" He asks. "What I do want to watch I'm not gonna put you through. Not many guys I know like it." I say looking down. "I want to if you like it I want to try it." He says. I shrug. I flip it on and snuggle closer to him. He smiles and wraps an arm around my waist. When the show is over he says "I have to leave soon." The door swings open and in walks Paige, Roman and Brie. Paige turns on the lights and says "Awe look what are you two up to?" "We were watching TV. Now, Dean is getting ready to leave." I say. Dean gets up and I ask "What did you think?" "It was okay, not my thing but okay." He says as he gets up. "I told you." I say. He groans and goes into our room. "What did you two watch?" Roman asks. "Cowboy bebop." I say. "Anime?" Paige asks. I nod. "That's like all you watch." She says. "No. I also watch cartoons." I say. Roman chuckles then rolls his eyes. "Howcome you guys are home early?" I ask. "The gym is closed for renovations today. We got coffee and just decided to hang out here." Brie says. "Cool. I'm going back to sleep now because I want to be rested for later on today." I say. I walk into my room leaving the door open. "What are you doing in here?" He asks. "Sleeping. I'm tired. Plus its my room." I say. "Geez. I just asked a question. Anyways the car is here, so I have to go, see ya in a month." He says. I sigh and give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Bye." I say. He brings his bag out there and starts talking to everyone. I lay down and curl up in bed. I wake up a few hours later, I go into the Bathroom and fix my hair, and put on a black shirt for now. I walk out and see a note from them.
Hey, AJ
We went up to Paige and Romans room so we didn't bother you, room 435 if you are interested in coming up there. Should be back by 1 so we can head to the next city.
-Brie
I'm not up for going up there when we pretty much have 15 minutes left here. I decide to take a ten minute shower. I hop out and put on a pair of jeans and the black shirt. I pack every last minute thing into my bag and bring it out to the front. If Dean needs to call or anything my phone is charged. I'm all good. Brie then walks in the door. "Hey, you ready to leave?" I nod. "Want me to drive?" I ask. "Um, no. I'll drive today, you got tomorrow." What I love is in a few weeks we get Wednesday and Thursday off from work and then work the rest of the week. Two days off to work out or treat myself to whatever.
Time skip to Monday
I go out to the ring starting off Raw. I have the Divas title wrapped around my waist and holding the money in the bank briefcase. I walk into the ring and grab a microphone. "So, tonight I'm here to give Seth Rollins what's his. Dean isn't here due to a small injury but he did tell me that we should still give him back his stuff and Seth, if you would I'd like you to come out here so I can apologize and give back this." I say with a smirk. Only to have Bray Wyatts music hit. "Oh, AJ, AJ, AJ. If only you listened to me when I said this wasn't over." He says. "What do you want Bray?" I ask. "I have a small proposition for yourself." He says. "What would that be?" I ask. "I want you to join the family." "I'm not joining some stupid fake family." I say. "What will you do? Start a family with the unstable guy Dean Ambrose who is out nursing an injury." He shouts into the microphone. "What I will do is put up a fight. I'm not joining this family if its the last thing I do." I say. "That can be arranged." He says walking out with Luke and Eric. Seth's music hits and he dashes to the ring. "What kinda sick and twisted game are you and Dean playing?" He asks in the microphone. Then Dean appears on the titantron being broadcasted from his home. Its kinda dark. "So, AJ and I knew you Seth obviously wouldn't accept it thinking that we messed with it. But..." He takes a short pause before continuing "The plan we did have picked out ended up exploding in AJ's face. Litterally. I have footage, if you guys would care to see." I have no clue what he is talking about. Then on the picture comes me with a ton of water on me from the one day we were arguing early. I didn't realize he took it. "I didn't know you took that. I never gave permission." I say. "I didn't know I had to have permission to show pictures of my girlfriend." He says. I smirk. I'm about to say something when Seth interrupts. "Whatever. Just shut up." He says. He tosses the microphone to the side and I move over so I don't get hit. He looks at Dean, then to me. He opens it looking straight at it getting sprayed with Green slime. He is livid throwing it to the ground as Dean and I laugh. He walks closer to me and snatches the microphone from me. "You! Will Pay for this! I will make sure you end up with the same fate as Ambrose if you ever! I mean ever pull some stupid shit like this!" He shouts. I smirk and look over to Dean who has a smug look on his face. He nods and I walk closer to Seth. Dean and I had come up with me putting him in the black widow. "Oh, no! You're not going seduce me again." He says. "What ever do you mean Sethie?" I ask in a false sense of security. He rolls his eyes turning his back on me and I set him up for black widow. He screams in pain unable to get a 108 lb girl off of him, a ref tried to pull me off, it took two refs and three security guards to get me off of him. Dean then says "Attagirl, and as soon as I'm at Monday night Raw you will be lying on that mat once again at the hands of me for getting me outta action. While we we are on the topic of payback. Bray if you lay a hand on her you are going to have to deal with me." He says. I smile. Seth starts holding his arm as he grabs a mic. "You know what Dean? That's a whole lot of talk for someone who isn't even here, probably faking an injury. Just wanted a vacation." Seth says with a smirk. I grab another microphone "Dean might not be here but I know someone who is." I say just as Seth turns around Roman runs in the ring and spears him. I smile and skip out of the ring. I go into the back and get ready to fight against Brie. Roomate vs Roomate. I'm not one to wear my glasses on the road but I got tired of not really seeing. I go out to the hang out area. Sometimes it's both Divas and guys. Today is one of those days. I walk in and see Nikki and Seth chatting up in the corner. I also see John Cena in another. I don't know which is better. I decide to go to John, because I can stand him even after I threw him off a ladder. I walk over and say "Hey." He smiles up at me. "Hi, I didn't know you wore glasses." He says. I nod. "Not too often, but I dedecided to wear them today." "You seem lost and clueless without Dean here." He says. I shrug. "I wouldn't say I'm lost. I work here. I'm definitely not running around everywhere." I say. He nods. "So, how have you been?" He asks. I shrug. "I'm good, you?" He nods. "Great." He says. This couldn't get anymore awkward. "I have a match to get ready for but I'll catch you later." I say getting up and leaving. I decide to go to Catering but I don't even make it that far. "Hey, AJ. Can we talk?" Stephanie asks me. I shrug and she brings me to the office, "Two others should be here in a couple of seconds." She says. In walks Bray Wyatt and Seth Rollins. "Hello everyone if you could please take a seat." She says. Everyone sits. I'm sitting like 5 ft away from everyone else. "So, AJ, we are putting you in a storyline with Bray, and Seth." She says. "What about Dean?" I ask. "Chill out, you will still be in that but we have decided since you and Dean messed with the briefcase and Bray is already joining it without us telling you." I sigh. "Alright, what else do I have to do?" I ask. "What your good at." "Wrestle." I say. "Okay, the second best thing mind games. You and Dean play those games well." She says. I shrug while Seth just frowns. "Why put me with another crazy bitch. Don't you understand? She took my briefcase and sprayed slime on me." Seth says. I stand up about to walk out of here when Stephanie says "AJ sit. Seth, that's your own fault for trusting her when you knew exactly what she is capable of." Stephanie says. "What do you want Seth? You want to fight Dean? He is out injured, You want to fight me? I'm a girl." I say. He growls a little. "I'm not done here and if you both want to keep this job I suggest you sit down and let me finish." She says. I sigh and then say "How am I supposed to play mind games with Dean in a storyline with Dean when we're missing the key person, Dean?" "Dean will be able to fly after two weeks, so one more week without him. You and Bray have mind games while Seth just constantly bothers you." She says. "I'm not gonna get your hopes up with that but you and I both know Damn sure that if Dean comes back over here he will fight whether he is 100% or not. Do you really want to take that much of a goddamn risk for some storyline between two assholes and myself when everything is working out fine." I say frustrated. Stephanie gives a confused look before says "Two on one next." "What are you talking about?" I ask. "Three on one handicap match up next for mouthing off to me. Speak to me like that and I'll make it 5 on one." I sigh realizing I'm not helping my case. "Oh, and AJ anyone brought out at ringside will be immediately banned." I sigh again and she dismisses me. I go and grab my belt. I should feel bad about what I said but I don't. I text Dean and tell him be prepared to watch me get my ass kicked. He doesn't respond because its my time to come out here. My music hits and I don't skip down to the ring. I walk quickly. Stephanie walks out "So, I have hand picked these girls to be in this match. Each one more excited that the last to join." She says, out walks Summer Rae, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Paige, and Kaitlyn. They all go into the ring and stand all in one corner. I stand in the opposite. I grab a microphone and say "You know what Stephanie. You are giving me such a hard time and putting me in a 5 on 1 handicap match because you are to scared to fight me, you wouldn't dare step up in this ring and fight me in a 1 on 1 match at perhaps over the limit in 3 weeks." I say as confidently as possible which is quite hard with 4 top notch Divas in the ring along with  1 blonde bimbo. "AJ, you don't know what your asking for. You don't deserve to have a match with me. I don't have to prove anything to you. Get her." She says. Just before they come at me I say "Woah, wait one second. Before Man arms (Kaitlyn), Blonde Bimbo (Summer Rae), Female CM Punk (Paige), Fake (Nikki Bella) and Tree (Brie Bella) beat me up let me say this, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Either way I will get my match." I say. I toss the microphone behind me and give the ref my title. He rings the bell and all 5 of them charge at me pushing me in the corner. I kick Summer in the face. "AJ, you can have your match." Stephanie says. "If, you can pick up the victory here tonight." I sigh still getting beat up in the corner. If I can take all of them out I might be able to win. I'm being kicked and beaten in the corner, it lasting 4 seconds before they get off of me for a couple seconds then getting me again. I end up with my head on the mat unable to do anything but pant and sit in pain. I look up at Paige and Brie. They whisper something in one another's ear and then nod. Everyone was outside of the ring plotting. Brie laid down on her back while Paige gave me a look telling me to pin her. I scurry over and pin her one, two, Nikki comes over right before three and Paige punches her in the face as the ref counts three. I move off of Brie and smile. I ask for a mic still sitting in the corner. "Hey, uh..." I say out of breath. "Stephanie.... I think.... I have a..... match... With you." I say. "No! No! No! That isn't fair." She says. Brie and Paige help me stand up. "I think it is, I won." I say grabbing my belt. "Fine, but we have to have a contract signing and I won't sign it." She says. "Don't worry. I have a plan." I say before leaving the ring and walking backstage. Everyone kinda giving me shocked looks, no one talking to me. I go into my locker room and find Paige in there, she moves quickly. I immediately sit next to her on the verge of tears. "Hey, What's wrong?" She asks. "Its a lot. Its all because I mouthed off a tiny bit in her office." I say with tears on my cheeks. She shuts off the TV and looks at me. She wipes my tears and says "I'll be right by your side. Along with Brie." She says. "Not just that, I'm not sure I can't handle it here without Dean. He has my back and I have his in whatever schemes we make." I say. She gives me a hug and says "What did you say in there?" "Stephanie was telling me I was gonna have a story line with Bray and Seth, and Dean. She was trying to get Dean back in two weeks to play mind games and mess with Seth. I said we both know that if Dean comes back when he isn't 100% he will end up getting in the ring again just because of a storyline with them. I said it worse than that." I say releasing from the hug. "Pumpkin, I have your back in this. You cannot break." "Did you not realize what happened out there? They broke me and I know for a fact that it's only gonna get worse Paige." "I have your back. We did this so we can have this match. If you quit that's showing Stephanie you are afraid to face her." She says. I nod and wipe my tears and fix what little make up I have on before leave the locker room going on a walk, to clear my head and just relax. I walk past Renee who stops me. "Hey, AJ can we have a word with you about what just happened?" "Is this live?" I ask. "No, Its being uploaded to the WWE youtube channel." "Than no." I say. "I just want to get a word about what happened between you and Stephanie." She says to me. I turn around and walk close to her. "You saw Stephanie? Where is she?" I ask. "I don't know." She says. "Where is she? You obviously do know." I say. "I know nothing." She says. "You know something, and if you think for a moment that just because you are an interviewer doesn't mean I won't give you shinning wizard right here. Right now." I say. "I don't know where she is. She might be in her office." She says. "She better be." I say walking away to Stephanie's office that's when I notice them following me. I open the door and say "Stephanie! If you think that you are gonna beat me at over the limit you couldn't be more wrong." I say. "AJ. I'm right. What you need to learn is to not mouth of to the boss or you end up in situations like today." She says. "What you need to learn is to stop playing the roll of a selfish billion dollar bitch and start acting like a boss." I hear everyone out in the arena shout ohhh. Renee lied to me. "Since you don't know when to shut your mouth, you'll have plenty of time to do that in your match with whomever the WWE superstars pick. So its fair. We have CM Punk, Kane, Hornswaggle and well lastly you can face Seth Rollins." She says to me. "So, were gonna play dirty huh?" I say. "If you so much as lay a finger on me before our match I will make sure that you will be thrown in jail." "Can I pick my opponent? I want Seth Rollins. He along with you and the rest of authority need to be taught that the world doesn't revolve around you." I say before turning and leaving. I pack everything up that's mine and tell Paige to tell Brie she can find a new ride to the hotel. I get in the car and drive to the hotel. I get in and throw my bag in my room. I lock the door and go to sit on my bed. I take off my chucks and change into a sports bra and yoga pants. Dean texts me.
(D-Dean A-AJ)
D-hey
I don't answer him and 5 minutes later he texts me again.
D-You okay?
A-Yes
D-No you aren't. What's wrong?
A-I don't think I can last here without you
D-Yes you can.
A-I have a giant match with Stephanie a major storyline with you, Seth, and Bray. I have no one behind my back. I'm walking into this match blind.
D-I believe in you!
A-Call me
He calls me and I answer. "Dean, what you don't understand is the amount of monkeys this woman has to deal with people like me. I don't know if I can do it though. I don't regret what I said/did but I don't know if I can go through with this." "You are the only one doubting it, Why?" He asks basically shouting at me. "I believe in myself but with such little time I'm unsure that I will win, she has a plan. I need to come up with one too." I say. "I'm your plan, I'm coming to Monday night Raw for your contract signing and I'm not leaving till the next Monday." He says. "No, I don't need you here. I know you, your gonna end up fighting when you aren't 100%." I say. "Is that your way of breaking up with me?" He asks angry and sad. "We weren't even dating in the first place." I say. "I thought we were. You lead me on." "Your way of asking me out was asking if I still talked to my exes?! Well I talked to yours." I say. I hang up on him and go underneath the covers before crying.
