In the morning I wake up with a huge headache. I don't understand why though, we didn't go out to drink last night or anything like that.

I wince as I get up, Nikki is still sleeping. Usually she'd be up first. I glance at the clock, it's five fifteen in the morning.

Today we have a live show, we leave around 12 in the afternoon to get to our live show in time. I'm in the live show, along with Nikki, Aj, Natalya, Naomi and Layla. It's a tag team match.

I lay back down, squinting my eyes hoping to fall back asleep. But ten minutes later I give up trying to fall back sleep. Quietly, I get out of my bed.

The cold floor makes me shiver. Before I walk out I brush my teeth and wash my face. I grab my shoes and tip toe to the door. Maybe a walk will make me tired, or at least help my headache a little.

I find myself walking to the back door. I step outside the cold breeze hitting my tummy. Most nights I sleep with a sports bra and leggings, and right now I'm about to freeze. The jacket I have on doesn't warm me up enough.

I don't go inside though. There's something relaxing about the cold breeze hitting my body, it makes me feel numb. The numbness feels good in a way. I wish it would numb away my headache. I wish it would numb away the thoughts, and the feels I get for Roman.

Suddenly I feel a guilt spread across my body. I shake away the thoughts and try not to think of him. My best friend likes him. I can't think of him.

"Cold, huh?" I jump as I feel him stand behind me. I don't turn around because I know I will melt at his sight. "A little." I say curling my toes. "Why're you out here so early?" I can hear him panted and I'm too tempered so I turn around.

There's sweat on his forehead, his hair is tied up in a bun and he has earbuds around his neck. "Where you working out?" I ask ignoring his other question. "Yeah. Went out for a run. Couldn't sleep." He wipes his sweat with his sleeve, a piece of his hair falls over his face and I have to stop myself from touching his face.

"I couldn't sleep either. That's why I'm here. Not to mention I have a huge headache." I say with a sigh. He smiles, "Did you know that when two people can't sleep it's because someone is thinking about them?"

I feel a blush creep up to my pale cheeks. I was thinking of Roman. Does that mean he was thinking of me too?

"Uh." It's all I manage to say and I look away.
"Have you taken anything for your headache?" He says suddenly changing the conversation. I'm a little disappointed that he changed the subject, to be honest.

"No. I thought maybe a walk would help." I say feeling my face cool down. "Hmm, can I see your hand for a minute?" He reaches his hand toward mine, he doesn't wait for me to answer he just takes it.

I feel a wave of electricity run through my body. His hands are soft, big, and warm. "What are you doing?" I manage to say as he start rubbing my thumb. "I read online that rubbing your thumb for a few minutes makes the headache go away." He laughs and I laugh along.

"That sounds stupid." I say while laughing. "It is, can't hurt to try though." He does it for a few more seconds and then let's go. I want him to keep holding my hand.

"Did it work?" He asks like he's really curious to know. "Well, no. Thank you for trying."
I say smiling, he smiles back immediately. Roman looks like the kind of guy that never smiles.

He looks like he's one of those stuck up, really handsome guys that never smiles at anyone because they think they're better than everyone else. He's nothing like that though. He's so nice, and sweet, not to mention funny.

"Maybe you should take some Tylenol. I'm never believing nothing I read off the internet." He says shaking his head with a small smile.

"Yeah." I say with a small yawn. He looks at me intensely, with no smile. It makes me feel like he's judging me but I know he isn't. His stare makes me nervous.

I bite the inside of my cheek until I taste blood. He keeps looking and I finally clear my throat. "I need to uh-" he interrupts me. "Paige."

I stop talking and look at him. I should leave right now, but I don't. I stay here impatiently waiting for him to speak. "Roman."

"Do you go out with Kevin?" He asks, I swallow hard and blink rapidly. "N-no." I whisper. His face breaks into a grin. "I'm glad."

His grin immediately makes me smile. What is this man doing to me? He can instantly change my mood. It's so crazy. I don't even care about my headache anymore, the simple fact that he is here standing in front of me makes me feel better.

How can one person change your emotions like that?

The sky starts to light up a little, the sun is soon going to come out. I'm about to speak up and tell him I need to get back to the room when he crashes his lips into mine.

It takes me by surprise that my eyes widen so much I feel like they're going to pop out of my skull. He pulls me in closer grabbing my bare hips.

His lips are smooth, and warm. His kiss is so gentle I immediately melt into it. I close my eyes and feel the butterflies in my stomach grow.

This is wrong Paige! What are you doing? Your best friend likes him! How can you do that to Emma? She loves you like a sister, and you're betraying her like this?

I quickly pull away, Roman looks startled and I touch my lips guilty. "Paige-" he steps closer but I step back. "Don't." It's all I can say.

I feel the tears in my eyes sting. I try to swallow my knot of guiltiness but the tears fall before I can help it. "Paige!" Roman says, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry." He grabs my hand softly but I pull away harshly.

I walk to to the door and he grabs my arm trying to stop me, "What happened-?" I turn around and slap him across the face. It was the first thing I thought of to get rid of my anger.

Who does he think he is kissing me? Who does he think he is making me feel all this? Who does he think he is getting in between my best friend and I? He should be kissing her not me.

My handprint is on his cheek and he looks both disappointed and startled. I run inside, I run down the hall to the stairs. As I'm running up I trip and fall.

I curse out loud and sit down to cry. I can't believe I did that. If Emma ever found out-

I can't even imagine it. She would be so, so, mad. She would never forgive me. She would hate me. I can't even think of a life without Emma. She's my other half, my sister, my best friend. The only person who has been there for me since day one.

And I kissed the boy she likes the most.
