A/N: Before we start, I just want to say thank you to everybody. It looks like we got 99 reads which is crazy because when I started this I had no idea I would get so many reads, almost a hundred reads. That is amazing. Thank you so much, I am so grateful. You have no idea how inspiring it is to see the reads go up and the votes go up. It makes me want to be a better writer and do my best. So I present you with Chapter 8, hopefully you guys will enjoy it.

"You know I'm not one to gossip, but it wouldn't surprise me if the rumors were true. AJ would be better in WWE than here." Carmen told the guys before she sipped her smoothie.

"How?" Matt asks.

"He has kids and a wife, overseas."

"WWE wouldn't help his schedule, those guys do shows all the time." Kenny interjected.

"Ok but he'd be making a shit-load of money and be closer to home."

"You sound like you'd be fine with him leaving." Kenny criticized.

"No, I wouldn't want AJ to go but I'd totally understand if he did leave."

"Do you know something you're not telling us?" Kenny's blue eyes give her a glaring look.

"No, of course not, if AJ told me he wanted to leave, I would have told you guys."

"Even if he told you to keep it a secret?" Nick asks.

"Well, I'd have to use my judgement if that were the case. I would still tell, you guys know the rule, anything for the benefit of the Club." Carmen looks over to Kenny.

"Tama!" Carmen screamed at the top of her lungs.

Tama came to the bathroom trying to hold his laughter.

"What's wrong with my mask?" She asks while panicking.

"I don't know, what's wrong with it?"

"The fact that my skin is peeling like a snake." She tells him as she holds up a long strip of what looks like a strip of tissue.

"Relax, it's glue." He says as he laughs.

"Gluuuue?" She screams as if she never heard of glue before.

"Yeah, kids' glue. Don't worry it comes off."

She continues to strip off the fake mask.

"Why would you do that?"

"I thought it would be funny and it is."

"That mask was expensive too." Carmen complains as she begins to wash her face. "If I break out, you owe me a new face."

"Fine." He smiles while watching her. "Hey, you heard about AJ leaving?"

"Yeah." She replies as she gently wipes her face.

"What do you think will happen to Bullet Club without him?"

"We survived without Devitt." She reminded him.

"I'm just..."

She turns around to look at him.

"Scared?"

"No, never. I guess... What's the word? Vigilant?"

"I understand."

"I guess as long as we have Anderson, we'll be fine." Tama says as he pulls her close for a hug.

This year did not start off well for Carmen. Losing her championship then finding out rumors that AJ is going to be at the WWE Royal Rumble, pretty much confirming he was leaving. She wasn't feeling that well.
