Riley's POV
It's almost time for our match. I am more than ready. I have fought both of them on several occasions and Lita and I just hate one another anyway. I decide to take a quick shower before getting dressed and it did help to relax me.
"Miss Austin? It is time to get you ready to head out." One of the handlers says opening the door to the locker room. I grab my belt and follow his lead. I am greeted backstage by the entrance by John.
"You ready?" he asked
"Oh I am SO ready."
"Don't hurt Lita to much okay babe."
"I am not making any promises. That bitch wants a fight, I will give her one."
"Oh, boy." He mouths. I just roll my eyes. Just then, our music starts playing over the speakers. We walk out and before Lillian can announce us, we are attacked by Edge and Lita. Several referees come out and bring this to order to officially start the match.
John and Edge are in the ring first. They just beat the hell out of one another until they both are bleeding. Edge tags in Lita and John can tell I am just so ready to get in there with her, so he tags me in. Lita and I lock up. As she goes to uppercut me in the jaw, I give her a hard elbow to the face. She staggers back a couple of steps and I do my spin kick move and knock her out of the ring. As I go to jump out to pull her back in, Edge grabs my hair and throws my back, leading to John attacking him again. As I am down, Lita gets back up and rolls into the ring and tries a pin. I kick out on two. I grab her legs and pull them out from underneath her. She kicks me in the abdomen and I go sailing backwards. Before I could stop her, she tags in Edge. He stops me from successfully making the tag to John. He throws me into the corner of the ring and Lita stuck her foot out just in time for the back of my head to make contact. Thinking I will be down long enough, Edge attempts to spear me but I roll out of the way just in time. Although I feel like I have been ran over by several semi-trucks, I begin kicking the hell out of Edge, stopping as not only the ref counting to four, but Lita jumps in and we somehow got completely tangled. We roll back and forth trying to pin the other just before I roll out and tag in John. You could tell he was pissed that it took so long to do so. Lita starts to attack when Edge tags himself in. After about four minutes of them duking it out, John goes for a pin. Lita runs out to stop the count, so I run out and spear her. She rolls out of the ring and I climb the ropes. As she stands up, I jump from the top rope and land my kick, knocking her into the barricade. Then, I hear our music play. John got the pin. We grab our belts and celebrate in the ring. Then I notice the stretchers and medics running to Lita's side. They put a neck brace on her and roll her out.
Later that night, John and I were out with Trish and a few others eating dinner when we all received the same text. Lita was at the hospital with a fractured neck about to head into surgery. All I could think was "I can't believe I did that."
"I did that." I sulk.
"It is a risk we all take. Besides, she shattered your knee cap with a fricking sledge hammer!" Trish reminds me.
"But I still shouldn't have—I should have been more careful."
"Since when do you care, Riley? I thought you were the biggest badass bitch on the roster?" Stacy asks
"The point is, I almost killed her! You know what? I'm not hungry." I walk away.
Several months later, we all know Lita had her surgery and has healed. She has been training to come back and tonight is it. Wouldn't you know, I am the one that has the match with her.
"Listen! How can you stupid ass people cheer this madness on?! She almost killed me! She almost snapped my neck!" she complains to the audience who are booing her. "She isn't someone to look up to! She should be banned from entertainment and placed in jail!" She continues as I walk out.
"I'm the bad guy? Yeah I almost broke your damn neck but don't forget who shattered whose knee with a sledge hammer. I get which one is worse but you know what? You have always gave me a hard time. Before you even knew me, when you first started and looked at me, before we even said one damn word to one another, you always had it out for me. I don't know why. When Jeff and I started, your hate grew by a thousand! You are just a ugly bitchy whore who whines when she gets hurt. I got hurt by you and I came back and did I whine? No. I got even. I may be the biggest badass bitch, but you are just a bitch. Whiny ass bitch. You wanna get even? Let's do it."
"Let me take you down a notch." She seethes. And I run out to the ring and we just whale on one another. The pain was even, the fight was even, then I go down. I am screaming at the pain in my abdomen. She slides out of the ring. The match isn't even over. I run after her and drag her back. I beat the hell out of her and somehow knock her out. Then I realize the arena was dead silent. I knew I was in pain…searing pain. I just didn't know why until Jerry Lawler, John, and the medics were by my side. I was bleeding. Lita had cut me.
