"How was your Christmas?"Lita ask

"It was pretty good, spending time with family is always good."Randy said "How about yours?"

"Same as every year. We laughed, cried, hug and kissed. Caught up on some things and exchanged some gifts. Ate until we couldn't eat anymore. Then went to bed."Lita said

"Sounds like fun."Randy laughed

"Yeah and they're weren't any fights this."Lita said

"Which is always good. Li I was wondering, since you kept Chris in the dark for awhile. I wanted to know if your mom knew what was going on."Randy said "I'm sure she wouldn't be acting normal, especially if she knew the truth."

"My mom doesn't know anything. I know she suspect some things, I haven't told her for the same reason I didn't tell Chris."Lita said "He's my family and I just didn't get hurt. I couldn't handle the thought of people I love getting hurt. Especially not my Mom, Randy. I wouldn't know how to handle that."

"I understand honey, but it's not fair that you put other people before yourself."Randy said

"Even when it's your family?"Lita questioned

"Even family Lita, Your safety matters as well."Randy said

"Not as much as my brother and my mother."Lita mumbled but Randy heard her loud and clear "At least I don't think so."

"Yes it does, if not more. You know how they would feel if they knew what you were hiding? You seen how Chris acted. Your mother would be devastated, especially if she knew what you were going through to protect her."Randy said

"It was for good reason Randy."Lita said "I love my family and I'll do anything to make sure that they are safe."

"Even though you could get hurt? Or even..."

"I know Randy, I know what could've happen. I was playing with a serious fire, I could've burned badly. I didn't though."Lita said

"You still could, I know you want to see him to Li."Randy said

"He told me to."Lita said and Randy sighed. She didn't planned to go, but she didn't know what would happen if she didn't go. Things could've been a lot worse than they were, it was pretty much how things always went. Edge's way, and with her left crying her eyes out. From either verbal or physically abuse, this time. It was both. "What was I suppose to do Randy."

"Not go. Make up some excuse like you did before, anything but go. You didn't have to listen, you don't know what he could've done."Randy said "There was no telling if he found out about anything or not. Lita you could've gotten hurt."

"I didn't though. Besides that I wasn't worried about me."Lita said

"Your never worried about yourself, you need to Lita. You need to realize how much others care for you."Randy said

"I know that I was at risk of getting hurt Randy, but what more could've he had done. He's beating me up so many times that it's kinda second nature to me."Lita said

"Are you even listening to yourself? You get beat shouldn't become second nature Li, it shouldn't happen at all."Randy said

"It does though, according to him. I deserve it."Lita said

"I hope your not believing that crap Li, no women deserves to get beat. Edge is nothing more than a coward, that's why he's always putting his hands on you. A defenseless women at that, he knows that you wouldn't fight him back. That why it continues to happing, because you let it."Randy said "Things are gonna have to change. Starting today."

"I'm starting to give up on that, I thought me leaving the company would change things. I see now that I was sadly mistaken, because the same things are still happening."Lita said

"That's because your allowing it to happen, you don't have to listen to what he says. Chris will be there if he tries to come over. On my days off I'll be there, I'm sure Cena will find an excuse to come over."Randy said "I think we need to get him out of the picture soon though, I don't know how much longer I can team with him."

"You have to Randy, I know it's hard. If you turn on him he is going to suspect something-"

"How can he? He doesn't know were friends. Only thing he could think, is that I got tired of him. Which is true, I'm tired of him on more than one level."Randy said, sighing "For you though, I got to deal with him. I have to remember that I have to keep my cool, otherwise Edge will be in the hospital."

"I wish I wouldn't have gotten involved with him, then I wouldn't be in this situation right now.

"Yeah well the only person who's going to be regretting anything, is Edge. Especially after we get through with him."Randy said

"That couldn't come sooner for me."Lita said "I'm going to let you go Randy though, I know you have other things to do. So I'll call you later."

"You better."Randy joked

"I promise I will."Lita said "Talk to you later."

Maybe Randy was right, maybe things were going to get better for her. She did hope that was the case, she had been through enough in the last few years. A life without drama sounded good, and without Edge in her life, she knew that's how it would be.

No sooner had she hung up with Randy, there was a knock on the door. Thinking it was pizza she had order, she didn't bother asking who it was. Which turned out to be a huge mistake, because it wasn't the pizza man at the door.
