Stephanie stood there fidgeting with her hands; she was nervous and didn't know what to do with them. "Steph, why are you nervous?" Chris asked.

"I-I'm not," Stephanie countered.

Chris stood and walked over to her and took her hands in his and held them to his chest. "If you weren't nervous then you wouldn't be fidgeting with your hands," Chris whispered huskily.

"Chris I want to say I'm--," Stephanie started but was cut of by Chris.

"Stephanie before you say anything I have to tell you something, and please don't interrupt me...do you promise?" he asked.

Stephanie only nodded her reply. She couldn't do anything else, his icy blue eyes held her captive, took her breath away, her words away.

"I think today when you said we were a big mistake you were wrong, dead wrong. Stephanie I love you with every fiber in my body and I'll be damned if I'm going to let you say our time together meant nothing. I know you love me too, cuz when you say it...I...I can feel it...here," he said guiding their hands to his heart.

Stephanie couldn't stop the tears from coming. "Oh Chris!" she cried wrapped her arms around him.

"Steph, if you really believe you don't love me and we're not meant to be together I'll leave you and never look back, but only if that's what you want."

Stephanie pulled back and looked into his light blue eyes. "Chris, I'm so, so, so sorry! I never should have said what I did. I didn't mean it I really didn't. I didn't think I'd be so heart broken, I thought I could get over you...but I can't Chris...I just can't!"

Chris smiled and hugged her tight to him. When he pulled away he leaned into her...but minutes before their lips touched a shrill cry startled them apart.

"NO! I have to go with him!"

Chris and Stephanie locked eyes. "Lita!" they said in unison.

After what seemed like a lifetime Lita and Edge arrived at the hospital Jeff was taken to. Lita quickly jumped out of Edge's truck and darted to the inside of the building. "Lita wait!" Edge called running after her.

Lita ignored her friend and ran straight to the information desk. "What room is Jeff Hardy in?" she asked breathlessly.

"I'm sorry Miss but you'll have to come back sometime later, only immediate family is aloud in there now." The nurse said not looking up.

Without thinking Lita grabbed the young nurse by her collar and heaved her out of her seat. "Listen bitch, I'm the closest family that Hardy has and I happen to be in love with the guy...so if you don't tell me what room he's in I'll have to hurt you and I really, really don't want to do that," Lita whispered threateningly.

"H-he's in t-two oh seven," the nurse replied with wide eyes.

Edge ran down the hall and saw Lita with the nurse's collar in her hands and he could see that the nurse's ass was practically out of her chair. (Not that he was looking at her ass or anything.) Poor stupid nurse didn't tell Lita what she wanted to hear. They really didn't know when to tell the crazy people the truth.

"Li, let her go honey," Edge said softly.

"Thank you," Lita looked at her nametag. "Barbara."

Lita set her down roughly then quickly darted for Jeff's room. "202, 203, 204...205, 206.... 207!" Lita said happily.

Edge followed her in and they both gasped audibly at the site before them. Jeff was lying there hooked up to all these different machines and his head was wrapped in all this gauze soaked with blood.

Edge looked down at Lita and saw her eyes had glossed over again. "Oh, Li, don't cry, we have to be strong for him okay?" he cooed.

Lita nodded and walked over to Jeff. Some strands of his multicolored hair fell into his face. "Oh Jeff, please wake up...c'mon sweetie, wake up for me, you're really scaring me," she whispered.

Edge stood next to her and rested a comforting hand on her shoulder. "It'll all be okay Li, I promise okay?" Edge asked.

"Edge please don't make promises you can't keep," Lita whispered letting her hair fall in her face.

"Lita look at me," he said forcefully. When Lita didn't he hooked his finger under her chin and forced her eyes to his. "Lita, Jeff is going to be fine, I promise, and I will keep that promise, even if I have to give that little shit head my right eye."

Suddenly the door burst open and Stephanie McMahon shot through followed by Chris Jericho. "Ohmigod Li, what happened?" Stephanie cried walking over to the redhead.

"Oh god Stephanie it was awful! Matt found him and beat him unconscious and now he won't wake up nothing anyone's done has gotten him up!" Lita said willing herself not to burst into tears again.

"Lita, I'm so sorry," Jericho said wrapping her in a comforting hug. "I wish we could do something to help you, but we can't really...we can only sit here and wait for him to wake up."

Stephanie and Chris stayed with Edge and Lita for a few hours then decided to go their separate ways when 2:30 a.m. hit. "I hope it all works out," Stephanie whispered to her friend.

"Me too thank you for staying with Jeff guys," Lita said with a small smile.

"Anything for that crazy shit," Chris said with a laugh. "We'll come back tomorrow 'kay?"

"All right, we'll be here," Lita replied.

When they left Lita went and sat down by Jeff's side. "Lita, we should go back to the hotel it's not good to stay here all night." Edge said kneeling in front of her.

"Edge God damnit I can't leave him!" Lita shouted becoming frustrated.

Edge nodded and stood up, he then walked over to the window and looked out at the darkened city. Lita sighed and got up to stand by him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his arm. "I'm sorry Edge, it's just that I'm worried about him, I mean seeing him there not waking, not doing anything I mean it gets to ya after a bit ya know?" Lita said.

"I know Li, I know," Edge replied stroking her fiery red hair.

They stood that way for a long time then finally Edge turned towards Lita to where they were chest to chest. "What is it?" Lita asked looking into his eyes.

Suddenly she had an uneasy feeling sweep over her, like something horrible was going to happen. She felt like she needed to be alert. And she was but not for what was about to happen.

Without saying another word Edge leaned down and captured her full pouty lips in a passionate kiss.

-

It was bright, just so bright...

'Not again,' Jeff thought to himself. 'I thought I was done with him.'

But Jeff wasn't where he thought he was, as his vision came into focus he noticed he was in a hospital room. When his vision was in total focus he noticed the two figures by the window, they were Edge and Lita.

Before Jeff could speak a horrifying scene took place before him. Edge leaned down and captured Lita's lips in a passionate kiss...and she didn't pull away from him.
