// You told me you loved me, why did you leave me, all alone \\
"Hey Lita," Trish Stratus said, jogging to catch up with the redhead.
"What do you want?" Lita asked tersely, picking up her pace to avoid talking to the blonde. The last person she wanted to deal with was this woman who would probably laugh about the fact that Matt had left her.
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry about what happened with you and Matt," Trish said. "I don't pretend to know all the details, but it really seemed like you loved him."
"I did," Lita said, slowing just a bit. She sniffled for effect. "Matt hasn't told anyone what happened?"
"Not a soul," Trish said. "I don't even know if Jeff knows."
"Really?" Lita asked. "Strange."
"He did break up with you right?" Trish asked. "I mean you loved him. You couldn't possibly have left him."
"He broke up with me," Lita said.
"Well, I know you and I aren't friends," Trish said. "But if you need anyone to talk to, let me know okay?"
Lita stopped and searched Trish with her hazel eyes, looking for some sign of calculation in her eyes. Finding none, she nodded. "Thanks Trish."

// I know that they say some things are better left unsaid \\
Matt leaned against the cement wall and sighed in relief. Trish was doing her job. He hadn't had a chance to talk to Trish before the plans went into motion. Edge refused to let him talk to her.
"Happy?" Edge asked under his breath.
"She did a good job," Matt said, nodding his head.
"Great," Edge said. "I'll start moving in on Lita next week."
"Fine," Matt said.
"You know," Edge said. "I don't know who's worse, you for wanting revenge so badly; me for getting Trish involved in this whole mess; or Lita for being such a two-faced bitch."
"I don't think any of us are blameless," Matt sighed.
"At least you can admit it," Edge said. "I don't know that you admitting it is going to keep me from losing Trish as a friend in the end though."
"Why would you lose Trish?" Matt asked. "She obviously agreed to help."
"She doesn't know what's going on," Edge said. "I'll tell her later. She wouldn't befriend someone with the intention of hurting them."
"Even Lita?" Matt asked. "Because Lita hates Trish."
"Even Lita," Edge said.
"Well, maybe Trish is the only blameless person in this situation," Matt said.
"Yeah," Edge said. "She's going to hate me."
"I'll explain it all," Matt said. "She obviously has a soft-spot for broken hearts."
"Is your heart really broken Matt?" Edge asked.
"Maybe not this time," Matt said. "It was broken last time though."

// It wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it. Don't act like you don't know it. \\
"Matt!" Jeff called down the hall. He jogged to keep up with his brother.
"Hey," Matt said, his voice devoid of emotion.
"Where'd you disappear to this weekend?" Jeff asked.
"I went to chill with Jericho," Matt lied.
"No you didn't," Jeff said. "I called him."
"I just had to get away," Matt said. "I couldn't be anywhere Lita might look for me."
"What happened between you two?" Jeff asked.
"I found out about her," Matt said simply.
"What are you talking about Matt," Jeff said. "It couldn't be that bad. I mean you love her Matt."
"Yeah, I'm the damn fool who loves her," Matt said. "And I loved her the last time. But I couldn't just turn a blind eye this time."
"What are you talking about?" Jeff asked.
"What do you, Christian, Jericho, Helmsley, and I all have in common?" Matt asked.
"This is no time for riddles Matt," Jeff said.
"Just answer the question Jeff," Matt said.
"I don't know," Jeff said. "What do you and I have in common with all of them?"
"We've all fucked Lita while I've been going out with her," Matt said, turning to walk away from his brother.
"Matt!" Jeff called. "Don't walk away."
"I don't want to take my anger out on you," Matt said.
"It only happened once Matt!" Jeff cried. "I'm sorry Matt!"
Matt turned around and looked at his brother. "I know you are. But I need space."
Jeff watched his brother walk alone down the hall.

// All these things people told me, keeps messing with my head \\
Trish exhaled her breath. Why in the hell would Edge want her to befriend Lita when obviously Matt was pretty hurt too?
Trish left the room she was in and walked into the hall. "Jeff," she said softly.
"Hey Trish," Jeff said, looking up at the pretty blonde.
"You okay?" Trish asked.
"No," Jeff said. "But I don't think anyone can help."
"I'm sorry," Trish said, patting his arm gently.
"Thanks," Jeff said. "I don't know how people can talk such shit about you. Obviously there are worse women in this company."
"I'm not sure that's a compliment," Trish said softly.
"I don't think I have compliments in me today," Jeff said. "Sorry."
"It's okay," Trish said softly.
"I've got to go," Jeff said.
Trish watched Jeff walk away. He looked like he was an old man as he walked down the hall. Trish turned and ran straight into a tall man.
"What were you doing talking to Jeff?" Edge asked.
"I found out some interesting information about Lita," Trish said.
"What?" Edge asked.
"I can't believe you want me to be friends with her," Trish said.
"She doesn't really have too many friends away from Matt and Jeff," Edge reasoned.
"And Matt was perfectly justified in breaking up with her Edge," Trish said.
"What are you talking about?" Edge asked.
"She apparently has slept with a laundry list of men," Trish said. "Including Jericho and Jeff. She slept with her boyfriend's brother."
"Damn him!" Edge muttered under his breath.
"What?" Trish asked.
"Nothing," Edge said. "I have to talk to someone."
"Edge, why do you want me to be friends with Lita?" Trish asked.
"I'll explain it all eventually," Edge said, going in search of Matt Hardy.
"Hey Lita," Trish Stratus said, jogging to catch up with the redhead.
"What do you want?" Lita asked tersely, picking up her pace to avoid talking to the blonde. The last person she wanted to deal with was this woman who would probably laugh about the fact that Matt had left her.
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry about what happened with you and Matt," Trish said. "I don't pretend to know all the details, but it really seemed like you loved him."
