Chapter 7: Right back at ya!
A/N: THE BEGINNING OF THIS CHAPTER IS HAPPY, I GUESS (DEPENDING ON HOW YOU LOOK AT IT) AND THE END IS SAD : ( SORRY :S
Lita barged into the room and slammed the door behind her. "OK, I've made a decision" she said
"About what?" asked the person sitting on the couch.
"Fuck you, you know what I'm talking about" Lita replied harshly.
"Are you sure about your decision?"
"Never been more sure in my entire life" Lita said as she kissed Adam "Goodbye, I love Randy way too much. We can't do this anymore"
"You bitch, you can't dump me. Once I tell Randy, he wont want you back anyways" Adam argued
"First of all, I just did. And second; go ahead and tell him, he already knows and he said that he'll forgive me" Lita said walking out of the room. Which was a lie, she just didn't want Adam telling Randy, she wanted to.
Next she was off to tell Randy about the whole thing. She walked back into the room and saw Randy sitting right where she left him.
"Hey there beautiful, you look happier. What lightened the mood?" Randy asked as he began to get up to give her a hug
"I am happier and that's what I have to talk to you about. You should probably stay seated" Lita said and sat next to him
"OK" Randy said skeptically.
"Alright, you know that we haven't spent that much time together lately" she began
"Ya, well that's work for ya"
"I know. But I had been feeling lonely"
"So had I but just wait for a few more months and we will be back on the same show" Randy said then kissed her.
"But the thing is… I actually did something about it" she looked down at the floor
"Li honey, what are you talking about?" Randy was scared of what was coming
"I had an affair, but it will never ever ever happen again, I promise and I'm hoping that you can forgive me"
Randy let go of her hand, stood up and started yelling at her "You know, DJ was right when she was yelling at you about this job. You knew what this business was like before you even got here. So what if you got lonely, some of the people here don't even have their husband or wife in this business with them, so they see each other even less than what we do. It's just something that you have to put up with. Who was it?" he had to know
"My on-screen boyfriend… Adam. Honey I'm terribly sorry. Can you ever forgive me?" she pleaded
"Give me sometime to think about this" He said then went to talk to his best friend John. He walked into DJ and Johns room "Oh my god, Lita was cheating on me. I can't believe she would do something like that. She's my wife" Randy said sadly, pacing around the room, not really sure what to think
"I know" John said
"I mean seriously… wait, you knew? For how long?" Randy said beginning to get angry again.
"Dude, I just found out today. Deej told me not to tell you, to let Lita do it" John explained
"And how long did she know?" Randy asked starting to think that he was the last one to find out
"Don't worry, she just found out today also"
"Ok" Randy said a little more calmly. "Dude, what should I do? I love her so much"
"I know. That's why I've been thinking and… I think that you should tell her that you forgive her but, it will be a long time before you can trust her again"
"That actually doesn't sound too bad. Man, I don't know what I would do without you" Randy said hugging John.
Meanwhile Lita went to Lakyns' room. When she got in there Jaidyn ran to give her a hug.
"Hey Aunt Amy" Jaidyn said (she was the only one allowed to call her Amy on a regular basis because when she was growing up she could say 'Amy' better than 'Lita')
"Hey honey. Do you mind leaving the room for a little bit? I need to talk to your mom" Lita asked
"Sure, no problem. I'll go see if Cameron's here, maybe Shawn will let us play" she said and walked off to find HBK.
"Man, she has grown. How old is she now?" Lita asked as she watched Jaidyn leave the room
"Ya she has, she's 8. What do you wanna talk about?" Lakyn asked as she sat on the bench
"Well…" then Lita told her about everything that went on.
"Wait, so DJ bitched at you for cheating on Randy?" Lakyn asked sounding appalled
"Ya. Why?" Lita asked curiously
"The nerve, even though hers wasn't as bad, but still"
"What are you talking about?" Lita was really curious by now.
"Oh, she never told you about the kiss that her and Rey shared?"
"No… she failed to mention that. When did it happen?" Lita asked starting to get pissed off.
"Last week when they went to hang out" Lakyn answered
"Just them two hung out?" Lita questioned
"Ya, I'd say it was a date though"
"I agree. I think that I should go talk to her. Wait, does John know?"
"He sure don't" Lakyn confirmed what Lita already figured
"OK, I'll talk to you later"
"Be nice Lita" Lakyn warned
"I'll try" Lita said as she went to DJ and Johns' locker room. She barged in to see only DJ in there.
"And you have the nerve to yell at me. Granted I was worse but atleast I told Randy. Does John know?" Lita shouted
"What are you talking about" DJ asked with a questioned look.
"You go and bitch at me about Adam and you never said anything about your date with Rey"
"What? Who told you? I mean… it wasn't a date" DJ corrected herself
"Lakyn slipped it up. And the way that you and Rey have been lately, I wouldn't be surprised if it went further than just a kiss" Lita argued
Now it was DJ's turn to yell "You know what, I wouldn't have been surprised either, but it didn't. Rey and I had always had feelings for each other and you know that but then I fell in love with John, my heart is his (John's). Yes, every once in a while I think about what could have been between Rey and I but I love him like a brother. We went to the movies the other night. During the movie he kissed me and yes I kissed him back but I felt nothing and I walked out of the theater. When I did, I happened to bump into Uncle Eddie. (A/N: SHE CALLS HIM UNCLE EDDIE CAUSE THAT IS WHAT HE IS LIKE TO HER AND HE IS LIKE A BROTHER TO HER DAD, SO…) He helped me a whole lot. I explained everything to him and he said that it seems like I love both men but in different ways and that I should explain that to both of them. I have talked to Rey and he's told me that he understands. Him and I are still best friends just like before" DJ calmed down towards the end
"And John?" Lita asked starting to feel a little bad because she remembers about this stuff before.
"I'll tell him in due time. I didn't tell Randy so I'm hoping that you will let me tell John"
"OK, but why haven't you told John yet?" Lita sat down on the bench
"You' ve know him just as long as I have. You know how jealous he gets" DJ sat down next to her
"Ya, I feel sorry for you about that… I'll go now and I'm sorry for yelling at you about the whole Rey thing" Lita apologized
"Don't be, I shouldn't have gone on a date with him in the first…place" DJ said just as John walked in.
"I should probably go now" Lita said "See ya D"
"Bye" DJ responded "Baby…Perfect timing" she said looking at John.
"Explain" John simply said with that look in his eyes, you know the angry look. :S
"OK, here it goes" DJ said then explained everything that she just said to Lita.
"So he kissed you?" John asked as he was walking out of the room.
"But I kissed him back… Johnny" she said and followed him.
"Don't matter. He shouldn't have done it" he said as he walked into Rey's room. "Why did you kiss her?" he asked Rey, pretty much enraged.
Before Rey could answer DJ walked in. "John, knock it off. I told you that I kissed him back. I don't care that you said that he shouldn't have done it, cause I did it too. If you're mad at him then you should be just as mad at me" she yelled at John.
"But you're my baby. I love you and I have to protect you" John said
"I love you too but you need to stop being so damn jealous. You know that my heart belongs to you. I have plenty of other guy friends, you're gonna have to be nicer and more understanding, other guys will try and pull stuff like that. If I happen to have a problem then I will tell you, don't worry. Plus Rey is our best friend. Come back to the room and cool off" DJ tried to calm him.
"OK, fine" he said like a little kid and walked off.
"ReyRey, I'm extremely sorry. You know how he gets" DJ apologized as she led John out of the room
"Ya, I know" Rey said kind of sadly.
"Don't worry. I'll get it taken care of. Everything will be back to normal"
"OK, love ya Donna" which is what he really meant from his heart.
"Love ya too bro" she said as she went back to her and Johns room and sorted things out when he finally realized that it was just a kiss. John said that he would have to thank Eddie next time he sees him. He always knows the right thing to do/ say.
They all went back to the hotel to get some sleep cause the next day was a Supershow from Minnesota.
John woke up that morning to DJ's cell phone ringing. So he answered it.
"Hello" John said groggily
"Hey John, its Dave" he sounded sad, John could hear Jaidyn and Lakyn crying in the background.
"Hey man, what's wrong?"
"Eddie died" Dave bluntly said… it's the only way not to sugar coat it.
"What? You have got to be kidding me. We just saw him… what yesterday? He seemed just fine, he can't be. How?" John was sounding panicky.
"It's true…they found him in his hotel room. He died in his sleep. I've already told the rest of the gang. We're gonna meet at the arena a little early today so we can all be together. 11:00 OK" Dave informed him
"Alright Dave, I'll see ya then" John hung up the phone and started to actually cry, which woke DJ up.
"Johnny honey, what's wrong?" she asked
"Go get ready then I'll tell you" he wanted to prolong telling her just a little while that her Uncle Eddie was dead because he knew that she would totally lose it.
She got her shower and was ready in 15 minutes.
"OK now tell me" DJ was worried… John never cried unless. "OMG, did someone die?" she asked
"Yes Deej. They found him in his hotel room this morning. Your Uncle Eddie, baby… he's dead" he said then hugged her as she began to ball her eyes out.
"No… He can't be… There's no way... How did it happen?" she could barely talk.
"I don't know, he died in his sleep. Come on honey lets go" John said as he walked her out to the car and they drove to the arena.
There was a bunch of people showing up early. All of them still crying. John and DJ got to Dave's room…
DJ ran to Chris and hugged him, they both cried some more. The rest just stood there with watery eyes… what else could they do?
Vince told them all that both shows would be tribute shows to Eddie. Most of them got to say their feelings… Some had matches and a few got to do both. The one that seemed to take it the hardest was Chris, so DJ stuck with her dad for the whole day. She needed him and he needed her.
It was a sad day for everyone. The fans too. You shouldn't have to die at age 38. But atleast he's in a better place now.
