This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
This is my December
This is my snow covered home
This is my December
This is me alone
"They were playing with our emotions, Li. They made a bet to see who, among the two, could get us in bed first," Trish's words echoed in Lita's mind.
Lita stared at her cell phone. She had been meaning to call Christian and ask if what Trish had said was true. She debated silently on it. It was close to 12 midnight. Christian was probably sleeping already. As much as Lita would love to shake him up, she resisted the urge.
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all
The things I said
To make you
Feel like that
Christian bit his bottom lip. He knew that Lita knew what he and Chris had been planning. He just hoped that Lita wouldn't take it too hard. Chris said Trish wouldn't believe that it had been a joke.
His cell phone rang shrilly. Christian picked it up and stared at the display screen. It was Matt Hardy's number. He sighed with relief and answered it.
"Hey Matt," Christian said amiably.
"Hey Jay, is Amy there?" Matt asked in his thick Southern accent.
"No man, she's not with me," Christian told him in a low tone.
"Damn… 'cause I called her cell and she wasn't answering," Matt cursed.
"Sorry man, I'm back home now. She's not here and I'm not with her," Christian said.
"Thanks," Matt said and hung up.
Christian listened to the dial tone for a while and then put his phone down. His life felt very empty now.

And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all the
Things I said to you
Matt rubbed his face with frustration. He was back in the arena where SmackDown was filming. He had gone to RAW briefly to end his relationship with Lita publicly. The door opened and someone walked in.
"Why the long face, Matt?" it was Rey Mysterio AKA Oscar.
"Yeah, I thought Mr Matt Hardy Version 1.0 had Mattitude to go and chase after girls. I mean, since Lita isn't your girlfriend anymore," Kurt Angle commented.
"I don't know if breaking up with Lita was the smartest thing I ever did. I mean I know she's still in the hotel where the RAW superstars are staying right now. But I have to face it, I have no one to go back to North Carolina with," Matt lamented.
"Hey, the Canadian superstars will be with you. But they'll be on a different flight…" Kurt trailed off stupidly.
"Face it, Kurt. You can't give advice to save your own life. So stop talking," Rey said in a harsh tone that Matt had never heard him use before.
"Sorry," Kurt mumbled and went to take a shower.
Rey shook his head after Kurt and turned to Matt. Matt was still mulling in his thoughts about going home alone.
"Look Matt, why don't you just apologize to Lita? I haven't known her for long but women are all the same. Apologize for being an ass and tell her that she's the most valuable thing in your life," Rey explained.
"As if she'd take that crap. I already said that to her on RAW," Matt snorted.
"Hey, I was just trying to help. Take it or leave it. I'm gonna shower," Rey shrugged and headed off to the showers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere
To go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to
Lita smiled for another photo as the excited fan snapped away. She was doing a bit of shopping in Los Angeles (I forgot where RAW was held) before she took the plane to North Carolina.
"OMG! Thanks so much! You're like my favorite Diva ever!" the overexcited fan girl exclaimed and ran off.
"Yeah… sure you are…" Lita muttered as she was out of earshot.
She went into a store and headed straight to look at the variety of nail polish they sold and also at their silver jewelry section. She thought that maybe she could add some other jewelry to her huge collection.
"Hey, omg, you're Lita, aren't you?" the teen cashier gasped when Lita placed her selected items on the counter.
"You're like my favorite Diva ever! Christian is so hot! Did you date him out of the ring? I know all that is storyline-based," the girl said.
"Can you please ring up my stuff?" Lita said, exasperated.
She didn't need to be reminded of Christian from anybody and this girl was annoying to the bone. The girl was still talking about Christian her to no end, her voice sounding more annoying by the second.
"How much will it be?" Lita asked when the girl had finished ringing up her stuff.
"It's on the house," the girl lowered her voice.
Lita stared at her. The last thing she also needed was to be treated like some superstar. She caught the name of the girl from her nametag 'Diana'.
"Listen Diana, I don't care if I'm a huge WWE Diva or not. I'm paying. Here's your 20 bucks," Lita slammed the money on the counter.
"Jeez… I was trying to cut you some slack," Diana mumbled.
Lita glared at her and left the store.

This is my December
These are my snow covered dreams
This is me pretending
This is all I need
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all
The things I said
To make you feel like that
Matt sulkily packed his bags and left the arena. He remembered that when The Hardy Boyz were still together and that there was no such thing as brand extension, he, Jeff and Lita would always wait for each other and leave together to either go back to the hotel or party with the other superstars and divas.
"Hey Matt! Wait up!" Kurt called.
"What?" Matt asked irritably, turning around. Kurt ran up to him, duffel bag in hand.
"Listen man, I'm sorry for being such as ass back there…" Kurt began.
"Don't bother, Kurt. I can figure out my problems myself," Matt said testily.
"I haven't finished, Hardy. I was about to give you real advice. Listen, if Lita doesn't want you, leave her alone, alright? She obviously needs breathing space right now. Maybe after that, you can patch up with her," Kurt explained.
"Kurt, I-," Matt wanted to thank him.
"Good luck, man," Kurt patted his back like a brother and walked off.

And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all the things
I said to you
"Here you go," Lita handed the teddy bear to the handicapped girl.
"Thank you," the little girl said with much difficulty.
"Merry Christmas," Lita called after her.
Lita smiled to herself as she gave the last of the toys in her bag. She'd bought several toys to give away to the handicapped children for Christmas. She figured that if she couldn't spend her love with Matt, then she could spend it on poor handicapped children.
"Miss Dumas, I don't know how to repay your kindness," Karen, the owner of the children's shelter, thanked her.
"It's nothing, Karen. And please, call me Amy. I help animals too… not only children. I love to help the needy," Lita shook her head.
"Well… thank you so much for your help here. It is almost Christmas and I hope God bless you and your family," Karen said as Lita prepared to leave.
"It was nothing," Lita told her again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And I give it all away
Just to have
Somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to
Lita checked in through the immigration counter. She was going home to Fort Lauderdale to be with her family for Christmas.
"Thank you and have a merry Christmas," the worker smiled at Lita.
Lita smiled back genuinely. At least the worker couldn't make a fool out of herself because she saw Lita or she'll get fired.
Lita looked around the departure hall. Her flight wasn't due in two hours and she had 120 minutes to kill. Most of the people in the hall were businessmen and insurance agents, probably going home for the Christmas too.
Her hazel eyes caught sight of a dark-haired man who was a mere 3 feet away from her. Their eyes met for a split second and then Lita looked away. She could never forget how he ended their relationship in public and humiliate her during past weeks. What with Christian making her fall for him like an idiot, Lita didn't exactly feel like talking to Matt Hardy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
Matt slowly made his way to the redhead that he saw across the departure hall. He was really desperate right now. Well, not that all desperate but he wanted Lita back. She was the light of his life. She made him smile. Simply put, she was his life. He had to talk to her. He couldn't spend this year's Christmas without her.
"Hey Amez," he stood in front of her. Lita slowly looked up from her book.
"Hey yourself, Matt. What's up?" Lita gave him a small smile.

Hey, I know that kinda sucked. Don't be shy to remind me though. Definitely not one of my best chapters but… eh… a lot of things were going on around my mind and I had to finish this or I'll get flames… But I promise and cross my heart. I will do better for the next chapter.
