Puzzle Pieces

Chapter 6: Make Up? More Like Break Up.

"How could I what?" Nikki said sitting up looking at Brie.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about, what just happened." Brie said. Nikki looked over at Randy. "Does Brie know that I just kissed Randy? Did she see?" Nikki thought to herself.

"Brie, what are talking you about?" Nikki said trying to ignore Randy's eyes on her.

"Your little shenanigans with Dolph? Care to explain?" Brie said easing her voice.

"First off Brie, lower your voice. Second off, he was just comforting me. So calm down." Nikki said laying back on Layla's bed. Brie rolled her eyes.

"You know I like Dolph. You know that. It's not fair to me to see my sister with the man I like. You're just rude." Brie said. Layla started to get uncomfortable, she held her face and groaned. Layla really wasn't in pain, she just wanted them to stop fighting.

"Ladies, please. Take this outside." Randy said walking over and opening the door. Nikki and Brie left the room and went to the vending machine.

"What's going on, Brie?" Nikki said digging through her bag to find her wallet.

"I like Dolph and you know that. Now you're all flirty with him." Brie said.

"I'm allowed to flirt with whoever I want, and last week you said you didn't like him." Nikki said getting a pack of Oreo cookies from the vending machine.

"Oh come on Nikki. You have a man and he wouldn't appreciate you doing this." Brie said.

"Don't bring him up." Nikki said opening her Oreos.

"Now I know why he didn't invite you to Japan with him." Brie said instantly regretting it. Nikki's mouth opened slightly. She took a deep breath and walked away. Brie went back to the lobby and got her purse and left. Maria and Dolph just looked at each other and shrugged.

*Back at the arena with Maxine and Jack Swagger*

Maxine and Jack have been dating for 15 months. They really haven't been communicating.

"Jack, can we talk for a second?" Maxine said. Jack nodded and stepped away from Zack & Antonio. They went into catering and sat down at an empty table. They awkwardly looked at each other in silence.

"So, what's going Max?" Jack said. He started to rub his hands together nervously.

"Jack, don't act like you don't know. We both know things aren't the same between us. And they haven't been for a while." Maxine clenching her hands together.

"I know Max. What are you trying to say?" Jack said, nervously fidgeting with his hands.

"Are we going to try and fix our problems for the 5th time or should we just..." Maxine said looking down at her hands.

"Should we just what?" Jack said slowly.

"Should we just end things?" Maxine said lowering her voice.

Jack sighed and said,"Maxine, you know I love you."

"Jack...we both know you have feelings for someone else because me and you aren't working out."

"We also know that you have feelings for someone else too!" Jack said raising his voice.

"Jack, please. Can we just break things off easily? It doesn't have to be complicated." Maxine said, starting to get a headache.

"I want this to be easy but it's hard to think of even letting someone who I love so much go." Jack started to lower his voice and massage his temples.

"What about Audrielle?"
