Part 1
It's funny how the smallest of events can end up changing the course of your destiny. Not that I believe in all that spiritual new age crap or anything. It's just an observation. An observation that unfortunately I seem to have had personal experience with lately.
And that night on RAW – my whole destiny changed in front of my very eyes. Standing in that ring with the others, somehow I knew that my life would never be the same. And I was right. My life hasn't been the same. Hell, I'm not the same person I was back then. But I'm getting ahead of myself now. I suppose the best place to start would be at the beginning. And well, it all started with Hunter.
It was just an idea at first. Something he came up with to get back at her, to punish her for defying us, for defying him. The rest of us thought it was great. I mean, really. Who the hell did she think she was? She was nothing, a fucking nobody. What gave her the right to defy us? She had to pay – it was as simple as that.
And we were determined to be the one's who did it. So we came up with this brilliant plan, made all the more better because it would seriously piss Austin off as well. The plan was almost completely flawless. Or so we thought. The plan was brilliant in it's simplicity – it should have worked perfectly.
All I had to do was convince her that I wasn't like them, that it was all just an act. Get her to believe that I was sorry for the things they'd said, that I didn't agree with them.
I'd slowly grow on her, knock down all her pitiful defences. And then I'd really turn on the charm – flowers, candlelit dinners – the works. I was supposed to seduce her, to get her to fall so in love with me that she couldn't think straight. I'd isolate her from her friends till I was the only person she could really depend on. And then – well, then I was supposed to break her heart, supposed to destroy her. Let her catch me cheating on her, dump her publicly – whatever worked.
It was a great plan, pure genius – yet another example of Evolution's brilliance. We were so confident in ourselves, so assured in our own abilities to counteract any and all possible flaws that we completely missed the biggest flaw of all.
And I kept on missing it long after Randy realized it. Hell, I even denied it when he confronted me about it. But now, not even I can deny it, to myself or to him.
Somewhere along the line, I became the biggest flaw in our plan. I did the one thing I was never meant to do…
I fell in love with Lita.
