A New Paige

Green Slime and Apologies

PAIGE:

I watch as Naomi and Brie go at it. Brie in my place in main event. AJ was sitting on the other side of me. With my Divas title.

"Paige, how are you feeling after AJ was ruthlessly thrown into you by Nikki last night?"

"Me? Oh I'm fine. I hope AJ's fine too, especially since I saved her from actually getting hurt." I snap.

.

"Well thank you, Paige." AJ smiles at me but I just glare at her in return. "Someone is a poor loser tonight." I get up and throw my headphones down, standing in front of AJ. She stands up and begins to get into my face. We banter back and forth until Brie pulls me back and hauls me backstage.

"Paige, she's not worth it! She's not worth getting hurt over. Do you remember Stephanie's orders?"

"She's aggravating! She stole something precious to me! She betrayed our friendship!" I snap and Brie pulls me in for a hug. I just let my arms dangle by my sides before Brie pulls back and looks at me.

"You'll retain the title again, Paige. You're a strong fighter."

"And how am I supposed to do that when I can't exactly wrestle? Stephanie AND the doctor ordered me for a few months off."

"Well, technically, Emma and I are representing you in our matches and maybe Stephanie will allow a rematch without you actually having to be in the match."

"It probably won't work." I say and walk off.

I open my locker room door and a man with blonde and black hair is sitting on my couch. And then Dean is lounging on the bench.

"Hey, Paige. How was your match?" I clench my fists. Seth, of all people, should know that I didn't wrestle tonight.

"It was fine." I seethe.

"That's good." I turn my back towards him and I begin to take clothes out so I could go to the back and shower. A pair of arms wrap around my waist, I look over my shoulder to see Dean. He leans his chin on my shoulder and I smile slightly, glad he was here.

"Go get dressed, Seth and I are taking you out. You deserve it."

"Seth?"

"Yes." I let out a small groan, loud enough for Dean to hear.

"Be nice, he's trying." He whispers in my ear. I roll my eyes, knowing he couldn't see it.

"Fine." I mutter under my breath.

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

I towel dry my hair and slips into a long sleeve, black, ribbed crop top, black low rise skinny jeans, black leather motorbike jacket, black dr marten boots, black teardrop necklace, black stretchers, gold lip ring, and I do a dark makeup. I grab my phone, slipping it into my back pocket and walk to the main room.

Dean and Seth look at me and then to each other.

"Never noticed your belly button piercing before."

"I've had it for a while." I remark. Dean smirks and gets up, walking towards me.

"My lunatic fringe." I whisper.

"My anti-diva." He whispers back. I smile and he leads me to his car. I sit in the front passenger seat while Seth sits in the back. "Paige, do you mind if Nikki joins us? She accepted Seth's dinner invitation."

"Sure, she's one of my best friends. Of course she can come!" I look in the rear view mirror, Seth was staring at me. I give him a face and he looks away. Nikki enters the car in a white crop top and white skinny jeans with red heels.
