~*~


Authors Note: I know, I know.. This chapter and the chapter before this was boring. *But* my next chapter should make up for it!!!!!!
Steph felt someone running a hand lightly over her cheek. She mumbled incoherently, and then started to hear voices. "Is she waking up?" "Is she Okay?" "Steph baby.. come on honey get up.." "YO! BILLION DOLLAR BITCH! GETCHA ASS UP!" At that her eyes fluttered open, to find Jericho, Lita, Matt and Jeff glaring at Beniot. He shrugged sheepishly. "It got her up didn't it?" All 4 heads swiveled around at once. "Steph!" Matt and Jeff exclaimed at the same time. Lita squealed in delight, and Jericho breathed a sigh of relief. "What happened...?" Steph muttered sleepily. "Your husband, Regal, Austin, Vance, Shane, and a bunch of other ass clowns stormed in here and jumped us. We're fine, but Hunter hit you in the temple with a beer bottle, knocking you out. Do you feel OK?" Jericho asked, worried. "I'm fine..." She started, sitting up. Almost instantly she laid back down and moaned, "My head..." Lita put a comforting hand on her forehead, and Beniot squeezed her hand. "You'll be fine Princess. We'll get those mother fuckers." He assured her. She smiled at him, and her eyes moved to Jericho. He was practically red with rage, but his eyes softened as he looked at her. "Everything'll be fine." He didn't dare tell her how worried he was that she couldn't remember what happened. Other than that, she seemed fine. The doctor said she was ok, but still. He couldn't help but worry. After an hour of Steph convincing him she was OK, Jericho and the Hardyz left to go get something to eat. While Lita was in the bathroom, Beniots eyes traveled down to Steph. The confused and hurt look in her eyes made his heart melt. "Something bothering you, Princess?" He asked. She looked up at him, tears welling in her eyes. "My...My dad. He's used me before, but.. Attacking me? I know I haven't always been the best daughter to him, but I didnt think he'd physically *hurt* me. I guess I really must be what everyone says I am.. A manipulative bitch." Her shoulders shook with a small sob. By this time Lita was out of the bathroom, and had heard it all. Beniot shot her a look that plainly said "What the hell do I do?" She shook her head slightly and wrapped her arms around Steph and let her cry on her shoulder. She mumbled words of comfort, and eventually Steph's sobs quieted down. She pulled back and looked at Lita and Beniot. "Thank you guys so much. I've screwed you two over so many times, and you still helped me find the love of my life, and comfort me. I've never had a *real* friend before. But now.. (She smiled through her tears) I've got five of them." Suddenly the door opened, and Chris, Matt, and Jeff walked in with Burger King bags. Jericho immediately rushed to Steph's side. "You OK?" He asked. She smiled. "I am now." He kissed her forehead, and she smiled. She sat up, and Chris began to pass out the food. Once everyone was settled, they began to eat. As Steph dug into her Whopper Jr., Lita broke the silence. "So what do we do about tomorrow?" She asked. Jericho raised an eyebrow. "Whadda ya mean?" She rolled her eyes. MUST she always have to explain everything? "Well, tomorrow's Raw. You know Regals gonna put us in unfair matches, then screw us out of them. I figure Trish will go after me and Steph, but he'll probably send someone big after you guys. I'm guessing Big Show, Kane, or Taker." Matt shuddered. "And you know Austin and Hunter are gonna be after us too." Steph crumbled up her Whopper wrapper and tossed it in the garbage. "Well, we'll just have to see what happens!" She said. Everyone stretched and got ready for bed. Lita slept on the couch, Jeff and Beniot slept on the floor, and Steph and Jericho shared the bed. Steph's head rested on Jericho's bare chest, and she thought about what awaited them tomorrow night...
