Praying for Daylight
Chapter 1
Description: She loved him, and he loved her...or so she thought. When he turns on her, who will Lita turn to? Based on RAW 1/9/2006.
Disclaimer: Never owned them. Never have, never will. Sigh.
Distribution: Also posted on StrictlyLita. Please e-mail to ask for additional distribution.
Author's Note: After all these one-shots, I've decided to try a long series...here I go. There may be some details that aren't really true, but this is a fic. ;)
She never really wanted to do it.
Live? On television? Who was he kidding? The whole incident with her ex-boyfriend Matt Hardy had been bad enough, but having her private life showcased on live television was even worse.
Sure, she loved Adam. There had been a time when she thought she loved Matt, and even Jeff once. But she'd slowly grown to view Jeff as nothing more than a lovable friend and protective "brother." As for Matt, well, they were civil towards each other when they happened to meet, and that was that. She had to admit it was better than seeing the hurt she caused Matt to go through...and all because of her relationship with Adam, better known to the world as Edge.
Adam.
She loved him, she really did. But what he did tonight really got on her nerves. Without asking her, he'd gotten Vince to agree to let them have sex on live television. Vince had told her bluntly that if she wanted to keep her job, she was to go along with the storyline.
Something was up. Adam had always been adamant about keeping their off-screen relationship just that: off-screen. He had hated what they had to go through with Matt, and both had agreed to follow the writers' stories for WWE while maintaining their relatioship off-screen. So it had been a surprise to see him tonight. He'd dragged their off-screen relationship on stage...literally.
She had never been so glad to see Ric Flair in her life. But when Adam struck back at the man, she quickly slipped on some clothes, hoping to slip away quietly while he was distracted. Unfortunately, she hadn't been successful, as Adam had done some serious damage to Flair.
Then John Cena came running out. He and Lita had always been friends, and she knew that John was being incredibly careful when he executed the FU on her. Though it looked real, she didn't hurt that much, as he was careful not to handle her too roughly.
What she didn't expect was Adam to stand idly by instead of trying to help her.
She also hadn't expected what had happened backstage. As soon as she'd started to head towards her and Adam's locker room, John had caught up with her, apologizing profusely for any harm he might have inflicted. Lita had assured him repeatedly that she was fine, chuckling inwardly at the sincerity on Cena's face.
Lita then continued on her way down the hallway to the locker room. Her right hand reached to open the door. As she pushed it open, she saw something that made her heart break.
Adam, her Adam, her WWE Champion, was deep in a kiss with none other than the Women's Champion...Trish Stratus.
