Rating: PG13 for all the stuff things are rated PG13 though there is some harsh language. Rating will change to R later when things get too racy.
Summery: Uhm.unexpected turns in events lead to . well . lots of crappy situations. Yeah I know, not too good. But give it a shot. Come on.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. And when I say nothing, I really mean nothing. Hell, my floppy disk was swiped from the school's computer lab. So the superstar's belong to the WWF. It's WWF FOREVER!
TimeLine: really makes no difference.
Distribution: Just ask me.
On with the story already.
Jeff's eyes fluttered open as he took a glance around the room. Alright, mental check. Wiggle toes: check. Feel the ass: check. Move the fingers: Check. Move the head: Damn that hurt.but Check. Ok, now that everything seemed in order, Jeff pulled himself up into a sitting position.
A hand immediately reached out, stopping him. "Don't do that. Just lay down."
He smiled at the soothing voice and obeyed. Her voice could always do that to him anyway. "You're here?" he hoarsely mumbled and he licked his lips, trying to get the moisture back into his mouth.
"Of course I'm here." She answered as she sat down in a chair at his bedside.
Jeff slowly turned his head and his grin fell from his face at the tear streaks scorched on her cheeks. "I didn't think you would."
Lita smiled, weakly. "I.Jay woke up yesterday and I, uhm, I had to make sure you were ok."
"Yesterday? How long was I out?"
"Well it's Wednesday." she answered
"Wednesday!" The Hardy exclaimed, pushing himself up again. "I've been out for almost two days?"
Lita sighed, pushing him back down again. "We thought you'd be up first. But I guess we were wrong. He's going to be ok though. There's no.permanent damage or anything."
"Too bad." Jeff whispered under his breath and she looked up at him, he swore she probably heard him. "He's not too bad then, he'll recover?" he shot out quickly, his eyes straying from hers nervously.
"Yeah, he'll be fine." Lita said. "But don't try to hide from me what you really meant."
And when he looked back at her there was anger looking back at him. "Ok then. Too bad I didn't cripple him."
Lita exhaled as she closed her eyes and tilted her head back. "Why, Jeff? Just tell me why? Chris said he provoked you but you threw the first punch."
"Yeah. That's right. And I'm not sorry about it either."
"I hate this you know." She said. "What you two are doing?"
"You think I like it."
Lita opened her eyes, looking back at him again. "I don't know, Jeff. Do you? You've been out for blood since my wedding day. So I don't know what to think anymore."
Jeff lay in silence a moment before sighing. "I know that there is only one thing I regret. And what happened on Monday sure as hell ain't it."
"Just answer me. You didn't answer me." She demanded.
"Because I can't." he quickly answered, meeting her gaze. "I can't answer you."
She expelled a shaky breath, leaning back into the chair. "This has something to do with that night, doesn't it? That night last week."
"Let's just say it's a continuation."
"Tell me."
"No"
Lita lowered her head into her hand. "Why not?"
Jeff reached over, grabbing her hand and entwining his fingers with hers. She looked up at him as he spoke. "Jay is not the man you think he is. I am not the man you think I am. There is a lot that you don't know about both of us. And our personalities just clash. That's all."
"Jeff, when personalities clash, it doesn't mean you go around beating the shit outta people."
"And it doesn't mean you throw your weight around provoking a fight whenever possible." Jeff responded. "Andrew, Rocky, Helms, Torrie, Chris.they all see it. They see me for what I am and Jay for what he is. It's only you who can't see it and I damned as hell don't know why."
Before she could respond, the door flung open. "Finally, sleeping beauty decides to awaken."
"Morning to you too." Jeff mumbled through a smile at the man that entered the room.
"Well, you better get your act together cuz we got a match for the next pay- per-view and we be taking the tag titles, my man."
Jeff looked at Chris. "I'm so glad to see your concern for my well-being."
Chris's grin fell from his face in mock seriousness. "Jeff, I'm happy to see you're awake. It gladdens me to no end that there is no serious damage to any part of your anatomy."
"Thanks."
"What happened that I don't know about?"
The two looked to Lita, and Chris shifted uncomfortably when he realized the question was directed towards him. "Uh.what do you mean?"
"When we brought him back to the hotel after he was arrested and he said that there were circumstances that he had to get away from. You knew what they were; I saw it in your face. And you know what sparked this last escapade. What don't I know?"
"A lot." Chris answered, his saddened eyes meeting the redhead's tear filled.
She gripped tightly at Jeff's hands, looking into the Hardy's eyes. "Why won't you two just tell me?"
Jeff's resolve crumbled at the look on her face and he frantically looked to Jericho. "Chris, I can't."
"No," the blonde said, forcefully. He could see it. Jeff was about to give. Damn that kid and his love. He couldn't say no to the girl and if he told her any of this. "Honey, it's just not that easy to explain. It's very complicated."
She ripped her hand from Jeff's. "What do you think I'm an idiot or something? I know what people think of me. They think I'm naïve and stupid and can't carry an intelligent conversation for anything. Well, I know I'm not a genius and maybe a little simple when it comes to people. But that's because when you look too deeply you get hurt. I've been hurt too much and lied to way too often and I don't want that anymore. Now you two are lying to me and I can't take it anymore."
As she walked away, Jeff bounded up grabbing her hand and forcing her to his bed. He grabbed her other arm with his free hand and forced her to look at him. "We do not think you're stupid. You are not an idiot and I don't care what anyone says. And I am going to be completely honest with you now."
Chris reached out to try and stop his friend, but the Hardy shot him a glance, and Chris just bowed his head.
Jeff lowered his head and ran his hands down her bare arms to hold her hands. As he entwined their fingers, he sighed before meeting her eyes again. "Your husband has tendencies of saying things. Things that I'm not going to repeat, because there is no need to. I'll admit it to you now. I don't like him. Not at all in fact. And the only reason why I tolerate him is because I couldn't bear to be away from you. A lot of us feel that way. I know that's how I feel, same with Chris." Lita looked to the blonde man who solemnly nodded, then back to Jeff as he continued. "Rock, Helms, Andrew, Matt, even Torrie. We only tolerate your husband because of you. You are that important to us. And the last few evenings, Jay has taken it upon himself to really try to get to me. And there are certain things one should steer clear from when it comes to me."
Jeff swallowed before continuing, trying to steady his voice. "One, my bike; two, my pets; three, you; four, my family; five, you; six, my bike."
Lita smiled, gently. "You mentioned me and your bike twice."
"I know." Jeff said, seriously; and the smile fell from her face. "That is as much as I can tell you now. But I promise that you'll find out the rest soon. I don't want you to ever think that we'd lie to you or hurt you. Any of the people that I'd mentioned excluding your dear husband. None of us would ever hurt you or lie to you intentionally." He raised her hand to his lips, kissing the palm. "Do you understand that, baby? Never."
She bit her lip, then quickly pulled her hands from his grasp to wipe her eyes. "You know, I just.I just want to hate you. I want to hate you so this entire thing would be easier."
She bowed her head, sniffing and she didn't see the look of intense pain that fell onto Jeff's face at her words. She continued to speak as she stared at her hands. "But I can't."
Jeff breathed a sigh of relief as the redhead leaned forward placing a soft kiss on his cheek before wrapping her arms around his neck. He buried his face in her hair a moment as he pulled her tightly against him, then looked up meeting the concerned eyes of Chris Jericho.
God, could things possibly get any worse.
