~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edge had been putting more effort into his matches than he had in a long time…not since he and Christian had stopped being a tag team.
Edge went along side all of Spike and Lita's matches to make sure it went all right, and that no one would interfere.
Every day, he saw Molly. Molly chatting with the Hardyz, Molly reading a book, Molly jumping around. He knew that Molly knew he was there, but surprisingly Molly never once came up to him to try to talk, and even if she did, he knew that he wouldn't have listened.
He felt a strange loneliness in his heart, a certain emptiness he had come to familiar to know, before he had met Molly.
How quickly life can turn around He thought bitterly.
He had just walked by Molly now. Edge felt like running over and kissing her, to beg her to take him back, but he knew he had to be strong, that Molly wasn't the person that he had fallen in love with, maybe she never was.
"You ready for the match?" Spike asked.
"Yeah," He replied, brushing Molly out of his mind for now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He felt something in his heart, a small tug telling him to do what's in your heart, which had been telling him so insistently these past few days.
Spike shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts but found it was difficult to concentrate on anyone or anything other than Lita
The woman who had stolen his heart, when he had thought he would never fall for anyone else, after going through the hell that Molly had put him through. Lita's different, she's not Molly He thought, but a nagging voice in the back of his head told him otherwise, making him doubtful of the judgments he made himself anymore.
He had never noticed the fiery hair, Lita, before, only because he hadn't had eyes for anyone else but Molly. The past few days made him realize that Lita was one of the nicest, most caring women he had ever known. She showed compassion for what had happened to him, gave understanding instead of pity.
Edge was still wary of him, and he could understand why. Spike had thrown a great deal of news at him at once, news that weren't at all anything anyone would want to hear.
But together they all had made a perfect team. Lita, with her fearless wrestling style, Edge with his speed and him, he didn't really know what he brought to the group, but he hoped it was one that would be worth something.
Spike got up from the bench in his locker room and walked across the hallway, where Edge's locker room was located.
He knocked before opening the door. "You ready Edge?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lita punched the punching bag, imagining that it was Matt's face she was hitting.
She felt her anger heat up as she went over all the events that had happened, everything had changed so much. She was no longer a team member of Team Extreme but now a member of Truth Be Lies. Lita couldn't believe that Matt of all people, her biggest supporter, had turned her back so quickly without getting her side of the story. The always calm Matt that she had so been in love with, had betrayed her. She had never liked Edge; sure she liked him for his out going and carefree attitude, he was one of her best friends, but other than that she had never felt anything more towards him. For her, it had always been about Matt, never about anyone else. Ever since they had met in the Indy feds, Matt and her had been inseparable. And something so stupid as this tore them apart.
Her punches became less and less as she began to think about Spike. Lita had always thought Spike as the enemy, because he, was with the Dudley Boyz who had been the Hardy Boyz's enemies. Whoever had been the Hardyz's enemies became hers as well. She had never paid much attention when Spike and Molly had been going out, she wasn't happy that her friend had been going out with the enemy. But now things have changed, it's the tables being turned. Now Molly, being her enemy, and Spike being…..someone she had mixed feelings for.
Lita had never thought Spike much of a looker but when she studied him, somehow he became perfect in her eyes. His black glasses with tape became something that added the charm to him. His eyes that held so many secrets and had been through so much but still held their light. His smile, that seemed to light up the whole room, making anyone helpless but to smile back.
When she had begun to talk to him, she became even more attracted to him; he wasn't like the rest. He seemed to genuinely care about her opinions, her views. She realized right then, she had not only fallen for Spike…. she had fallen for him hard.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Truth Be Lies" all met up at the ramp as they walked down to the ring together.
Lita avoided Spike, who kept shooting confused glances at Lita, wondering what was wrong.
Edge seemed to be distracted, at Molly and Dudley Boyz who were coming down the ramp.
The bell rang as the match started for the six-person match.
Spike started out, going against Devon. He was able to avoid a few shots to with a right hand but soon tired out, as Devon swung him over to the ropes, as he came back he was given a clothesline. Devon yelled at him to get up, so he staggered up, only to be clotheslined again. Devon dragged him to the corner where he kicked him in the stomach several times until the referee stopped him. As Devon was glaring at the referee, Spike jumped up and kicked him in the stomach, doing a DDT. Devon lay sprawled on the mat, as Spike managed to tag Lita in.
Lita yelled at Devon for him to tag in Molly. And when he did, she jumped on Molly, slapping her in the face. Lita whipped Molly into the ropes, then tripped her, causing Molly to fall on the ground. She held Molly's head to the ropes until the referee threatened to disqualify her. She went for the cover but Molly kicked out after 1. Lita turned her back to Molly, giving Molly the opportunity to tag Bubba Ray into the ring. Lita turned around to find not Molly but Bubba. She slid under his legs and stumbled over to her corner, tagging in Edge.
Edge speared Bubba and covered him for the three count. When the bell rang, the match was over. But it had ended too soon…
there must be something wrong Lita thought. Her questions were answered when Bubba started to set up the tables; Lita looked on in horror as they approached her. She shook her head looking around but finding Spike and Edge looking on from the ramp. Bubba pushed her aside and grabbed Molly, putting her through a table, 3-D style.
Backstage Lita ran over to Spike and Edge.
"What was that?" Lita asked, she could still hear her heart pounding from when she thought Bubba was going to put her through a table.
"Wasn't that great? Finally Molly got what she deserved," Spike said his eyes twinkling, he whirled Lita around.
Edge had an expression; one mixed with anger and happiness. Anger that Molly had been put through a table. Happy that she had gotten a taste of what it had been like when she had hit him.
"That was great, but for a minute there I thought they were going to put me through a table Spike." Lita told him, not looking at all happy.
"Well they didn't, come on Lita let's celebrate!" Spike grinned spinning Lita around again.
"Ok, ok. But stop with the damn spinning!" Lita laughed putting her arm around Spike.
"You coming Edge?" Lita turned to Edge who hadn't moved from his spot.
"I'll catch up with you guys later."
Lita shrugged, and looked at Spike, smiling at him before saying "Let's get something to eat, I'm starved."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edge stood outside of Molly's locker room, not sure if he should talk to her.
Either knock or not, it's not that important He told himself. He walked back and forth in the hallway. He finally made his mind up. He knocked on Molly's door.
The door opened but it wasn't Molly, it was Jeff.
"Do you mind if I talk to Molly?" Edge said, nervous although he wasn't sure why.
"Yeah sure. Hey Matt," Jeff turned to talk to his brother. "Edge wants to talk to Molly. Molly, if you need us just give us a holler." Jeff let Edge come in, then he and Matt left.
"What do you want Edge?" Molly asked as soon as the Hardyz had left.
"I just wanted to see if you were all right…"
"I just got 3-D'd through a table, what do you think?" Molly said, sarcasm evident in her voice.
Edge was shocked; it was as if this person standing in front of him wasn't Molly at all.
Molly was nice. Molly was everything I've always wanted in a girl. Molly's nothing like what she is now.
Molly got up and came up to him, patting him on the shoulder. "You just missed the best thing that could have ever happened in your life. Me. If it's any consolation, I never loved you."
Edge could hardly believe this was Molly, the Molly that had cared for him when he was injured in a wwf match, the Molly who had kissed him for the first time under the stars. Not Molly.
He could hear a voice that sounded strangely familiar, but not of his own. He heard himself laugh "You? You're not the best thing that happened in my life. Getting into WWF was. And as for you, I could always find a replacement, it's not that hard to find a whore."
Molly's eyes widened, darkening so much that her baby blue eyes now seemed a shade of midnight. "You better not talk about this with anyone, but then again, who would believe you? Little slut Lita made the wrong decision and tried to tell her precious Hardlys, and what happened? They didn't believe her. If you don't want people turning their backs on you and making you an outcast, you better keep your mouth shut. I will not let you or anyone else ruin what I've worked so hard to get, to accomplish. If you even try to tell anyone, I'll make sure it's the last thing you do."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spike, like the nice guy that he was, insisted that he make sure that Lita got back to her hotel room safely.
"I had a great time tonight Spike," Lita smiled.
"Me too."
"You're a great friend." Lita said, hugging him.
His expression fell, that wasn't what he had waited all night to hear.
Just one kiss, that's all I need. If she pushes me away like I know she would, then at least I won't leave wondering "what if"
Spike looked her in the eyes, silently trying to ask her if it was all right for him to kiss her. He leant in.
Lita watched Spike as he leaned closer to her. She let out a small gasp as his lips touched hers, so lightly it felt like a feather had just brushed by.
She responded by wrapping her arms around Spike, deepening the kiss.
Spike felt on top of the world, as he held Lita in his arms. He didn't realize the mistake that he had done, had said until he felt Lita pull away from his embrace.
He opened his eyes, and saw that Lita was looking at him, as if she had just lost her best friend.
Lita looked into his eyes, as if to look for an answer she mouthed, since she felt that her throat had suddenly gone dry. "Molly?"
Spike's face went white. Did I just call out Molly's name? The expression on Lita's face seemed to confirm that.
"I'm so sorry Lita, I never meant to…" He tried to touch for face, but she jerked back, as if his hand was on fire.
Lita turned and tried to open the door to the hotel room, but since it had a card lock, she couldn't seem to unlock the door.
"Damn" She whispered, she could feel the tears burning in the back of her eyes, she wanted to get into the safety of her hotel room, not wanting Spike to see how weak she really was.
"Let me try," Spike said softly, not knowing anything else to say. He tried to swipe the card into the lock but it didn't seem to work, so he tried to swipe the card across his shoe.
"What are you doing?" Lita said, looking at him strangely.
Spike shrugged. "I watched it in a movie once, but I guess they had some special props for that."
Lita sighed; it looked like she wasn't going anywhere for the night. Maybe she could sleep in the lobby, since the other wrestlers have made it clear to her that she wasn't welcome.
"I guess you could, stay with me if you want…." Spike's voice trailed off, looking down at the ground.
"I'm not sure if that's such a…"
Spike cut in saying quickly "Since the person I was supposed to bunk with tonight was sick, so there's a spare bed."
He could see relief in Lita's eyes. "Really?"
"I know it's not much…."
Lita held a finger to his lips "Thanks, you've just saved me from sleeping in the lobby."

Note: I know it seems like it's becoming more of a Spike/Lita fic now but next chapter, I PROMISE it's gonna be all about Molly/Edge (whether they're together or not, you'll just have to see) with only Spike and Lita mentioned only a few times. Sounds good? Good. Thanks so much for the feedback! Thanks to: Edgesgurl4ever (You'll just have to see if Edge/Lita get together hehe), Digital Tempest (Tiara, you better get the sequel up soon! Lol j/k), Voodoo Fighting Weasel (you were the first person to write a review for my story thank you so much!!), Angelgrl, irishclover.
