and i think the
saddest thing
is how it is so much
easier
to just not say
anything at all. -- kpk

"You're all done, Paige." I open my eyes and smile, "Thank you." I hop off the chair and walk down the hall way.

On the way there I stop and glance in a mirror that's on the wall. I look at myself and admire the makeup that has just been applied on my face.

Today is Battleground. I'm both nervous and excited but mostly nervous. I'm still terribly upset about Roman. He still hasn't talked to me and even though he tries to hide it, I know he's avoiding me.

Maybe that girl brought back too many memories. Maybe he realized that I'm too little for him. Maybe. Just maybe.

"Nervous about your match?" A voice says. I turn around and see Randy standing there. He's got a smile on his face and he's in his attire. Which isn't much of an attire anyways. He's shirtless and just had his undergarment.

"Yeah." I answer with a sigh. "No need to be nervous. You got this. I believe in you." He says uncrossing his arms and leaning against the wall. "Thank you." I answer with a smile.

He looks at me for a while and suddenly I start feeling self-conscious and feel my face heat up. "Sorry." He says in an apologetic tone. "For what?" I answer.

"For staring too long. I can't help it. You look quite stunning." He says, "Randy." I whisper. "I'm not trying to flirt or anything but you do look beautiful and you should know that." He says.

"Well thank you." I say with more confidence. "I'll let you go now. I have to do some stuff. And don't be nervous, you got this. Good luck!" He says as he starts walking away.

"Good luck to you too!" I say as he starts disappearing down the hall. I walk towards the locker room and find Nikki and Aj outside talking.

"Hey guys." I say, "Hey my little crumpet." Aj answers with a grin. "So tell us what were you doing?" Nikki asks leaning in more and raising an eyebrow.

"Well I was getting my hair and makeup done." I say and they look at each other and then at me. "Anddd?" Aj asks, "Anddd what?" I say confused.

"Oh don't pretend that you don't know what we're talking about, Paige." Nikki says playfully smacking me. "I really don't know what you guys are talking about."

"Randy!" Aj says, "Ohhh. That." I answer, "Yeah. That." Nikki says, "What's going on between y'all?" Aj asks. "Nothing, we're just friends."

"But he likes you." Nikki says, "What?" I say acting like I don't know but I do know. He did confess it to me a few weeks ago after all. "He does. You can tell from miles away. He technically drools over you." Aj says.

"Yeah but . . ." I say my voice trailing off. But I like Roman. "Yes, we know you like, Roman." Aj says with a sigh. "But Paige, he's been ignoring you for weeks." Nikki says, I wince like I got hit.

"Sorry to tell you bluntly but it's the truth. And I think it's so unfair that you keep holding on when he hasn't even bother to talk to you." She says putting her arm around me. "We just don't like to see you upset." Aj says with a sad face.

"I know. I know. But Randy and I? I can't see it." I say thinking about it. I can't imagine feeling a different way towards, Randy. He's not ugly, he's very handsome but I can't tell my heart to feel things for him.

"Why not? I ship it." Aj says with a shrug. "Agh. I don't know." I say closing my eyes. The girls lean in and give me a hug.

"Woah, you know what would be hotter? If you guys made out." Dean says appearing out of nowhere. We stop hugging and Aj smacks him, "Ewww." She says, Dean smirks, "I'm kidding baby." He says with a wink.

I see Roman walking towards us and I feel myself freak out like a little kid. "We're up next." He says, I nod my head and glance at my friends as I start heading towards Roman.

We walk behind the curtain as we wait for our call. Summer and Punk are standing feet away from us and they occasionally glance at us as they keep quietly talking.

"Are you feeling fine?" Roman asks breaking the silence. I look at him and have to stop myself from not screaming or crying or punching him on the face. Am I feeling fine? I'm feeling horrible.

"Yeah." I answer looking away. "You don't look fine." He says. I stay silent not saying anything and I bite the inside of my cheek. Of course I'm not fine.

Suddenly we get our call and I'm glad because I felt so vulnerable standing beside him. Summer and Punk get called first and then we get called.

"Paige!" Roman screams stretching his hand over so I can tag him. Summer has her legs wrapped around my waist and she squeezing me tight.

We started the match and we've been at it for a while now. I'm feeling exhausted and the referee is asking me if I want to tap out. I keep shaking my head no and she squeezes me tighter.

"Come on tap Paige! You know you want too!" She screams furiously. Roman is still stretching his hand out and I try my hardest to reach over to tag him in.

When I'm finally making progress she pulls me back but has to let me go to do so. I roll out of the ring to try to catch a breath. Roman jumps off from ring side.

"Hey, hey, are you okay?" He asks. I nod my head breathing heavily. "As soon as you get there tag me in, okay?" He says. I nod my head again as the referee starts counting.

I get back in the ring and before I tag Roman in I slap Summer on the face. She gasps loudly holding her cheek and then runs to me tackling me.

She starts hitting me but I push her away and punch her. She pulls my hair but I elbow her stomach tagging Roman in.

•••
"No!" I scream as Punks theme starts playing. Summer walks in laughing and she kisses him as Roman lays on the floor breathing heavy.

He kicked him so hard that it complete knocked him out and he pinned him. "Losers!" Summer Rae screams as I get in the ring.

I shake Roman lightly and he opens his eyes a little. "You will never be as great as I." She says pulling my hair and laughing. I smack her arm harshly and Punk leans in to me.

"Hope this taught your little boyfriend a lesson." He says dangerously close to my face. I don't fight the urge and spit him on the face.

The crowd starts cheering and Punk wipes his face furiously. His face turns a bright red and for a second I think he might do something but Summer pulls him away.

She says something to him and they get out the ring. Roman still hasn't gotten up. He's rubbing his temples with his eyes closed.

I stay there beside him in the ring as I watch Summer and Punk disappear.
