NIKKI

Focus Nikki! Focus! Tonight is your event and you don't need to get distracted! No.. Not him. Not anyone else.

I am currently at the gym right now with Brie, and I'm inside and I'm at the treadmill.

"Nikki, you might wanna slower your level-" and just like that, I landed my left feet wrong and I slide all the way to the wall.

"Nikki! Are you okay!?" Brie ask, assisting me.

"Yes. I'm fine." I answer and stand up, checking my ankle.

"You hurt?"

"No. Maybe just a scratch." I said and walk to my duffle bag, taking out a bandage from it and applying it into my light bruise. "There, all fixed." I said and grab my water, drink it all the way.

"You know what Nikki?"

"Hmm?"

"You look like distracted-"

"No I'm not!?" I immediately answer that made not of us a bit surprise.

"Well, I don't believe you..."

I just sigh and she sits beside me, also drinking her water.

"You think so?" I ask.

"Well, judging your actions right now, I think you are."

I sighed again. Uh-oh. I'm really distracted, and tonight's a big event for me.

Then suddenly, Aj Lee kicks in.

"Hello Bellas!" She said, hopping consistently while her Diva Belt is resting on her left shoulder.

"Heeeeeyyyyy... Aj." Brie said after we look at each other, confused on why she's right in front of us, right now.

"Take it from me Nikki,..." She paused and walks in front of me, our bodies are inches away from each other. "I think you're really distracted."

"Well, why do you care, Aj? Are we friends?"

"We are. So, how about this one to make you happy, I'll spoil you the match for tonight..."

I look at her, crossing my arms as she intimidate me with her smile.

With her cheerful tone, she mouthed, "I'm gonna beat you up tonight!"

She laughed in front of me and when I had enough, I answer her.

"Well, it would be a total shock if I tear down that expectation of yours, baby face."

"What did you just call me!?"

"You heard me."

"Well, I'm not a baby face, fat bitch-"

I was about to attack her when suddenly, Brie manages to stop me by covering me and pushing me from the shoulders.

"What now, Nikki? Pissed off?"

"Stop yourself Nikki. You don't wanna make a scene here." Brie mumbles and I look at her.

"Isn't that what were doing here? Making scenes?" I spat back.

"What'ya talking gusy? Care to share?"

"Can you just go, Aj?"

"What Brie? Pitying your sister because you're afraid I might beat her up right here, right now?"

I look at Brie and she nodded, stepping aside and suddenly, I jump out of Aj.

"I'm gonna kill you, you b*tch!" I say, grabbing a full of her hair as I'm on top of her.
