Disclaimer: Dammit people, I don't own anything.

The next 2 days passed by quickly. Lita and Scott had spent those 2 days together, getting everything back on track. He explained to her how rehab went, what he was going through. He even explained her about that day, making her cry. She in return explained how things went while he was gone. What the company had to say, etc.

But, she didn't mention a thing about Brett. She was too afraid to tell him, not knowing that he already knew part of it. Even though she and Brett never did anything, she felt like she had betrayed Scott. She slept in her room, and he slept in the guestroom. After the whole kitchen incident, they hadn't kissed or touched at all.

THURSDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN:

Lita and Scott entered his dressing room. Lita had a match with Molly against Jazz and Victoria. She stayed and changed in Scott's room, not wanting to go to the women's locker room. After she finished changing in her ring attire, she looked at Scott and walked up to him.

"Scott, I'm going to find Molly. I'll be right back," she said. She turned around to walk away, but Scott held her by her waist. "Lita wait," he said. Lita turned around and looked at him. He merely looked at her, smiling at the sight. "Okaaaaay, Scott?" she asked, not understanding what he was doing.

"You look beautiful," he whispered. Lita bit her under lip and shyly smiled, blushing like a red tomato. She turned her head away to keep him from seeing her. Scott chuckled and grabbed her by her chin, making her look up at him. "You are," he said. He guided his hand to the back of her head and took out the 2 Chinese sticks that held her hair up. Her hair came falling down her side of her face, covering her eyes partially. "Much better," he whispered.

Lita smiled at him and slowly came closer, wanting to kiss him. Scott realized this, and pulled away before there was any contact. "Lita, maybe we should," he began, but Lita wasn't listening. She grabbed him by his collar and pulled him close. "When are you going to shut up and kiss me?" she smiled, looking into his eyes. Scott smiled, realizing she was serious.

"Right now," he said, and laid his lips on hers, gently stroking her lips with his. Lita smiled and gave in, loving this embrace. Scott let out a sigh as he realized that Lita wasn't tense. At the 3 previous kisses, her whole body was tense, afraid of his touch. It almost felt as if she was forcing herself to kiss him. But now, he felt her giving it, not afraid of it. He kissed her endlessly for long moments, only breaking away to take in a deep breathe. After a long time he finally broke the kiss, pecking at her lips lightly.

Lita whimpered when he pulled back, trying to continue the kiss. Scott smiled and shook his head. "You have a match," he whispered, giving her one last peck on the lips. Lita nodded her head, knowing he was right. She let him go and walked to the door. "I'll be back," she said and left the room. Scott smiled when he touched his lips.

"She still loves me," he thought to himself.



Lita walked towards the women's locker room, a big smile on her lips. She touched her lips, that were now completely numb and swollen from the previous embrace.

"Wow," she exclaimed under her breath. She didn't even realize that she had bumped hard into someone. Lita fell to the floor, yelping as she fell on her side. "Oh God, Lita, are you ok?" a voice asked. Lita recognized the voice and quickly got up. "I'm fine," she quickly said and tried to bolt away. "Lita wait," the voice said, holding onto her arm.

"Brett, please let me go," Lita pleaded, trying to escape his grasp. Brett gave her a confused look. "What's wrong?" he asked. He loosened his grip, but didn't let go. "I have a match to get to," Lita quickly shot back. She still couldn't get out of his grasped. "Lita please, we need to talk," Brett said, pulling her close.

"Brett, I really have to go now," Lita said. Brett looked at her and shook your head. "They still have 3 matches before yours. You still have time," he said. Lita let out a sigh and nodded her head. She followed Brett to the parking lot. He leaned against the crutches and watched her.

"So, what is it you wanted to talk about?" Lita asked. She really didn't want to be here. She wanted to be with Scott. She didn't want to stay here. "How are you Lita?" Brett asked, looking up at her. Lita arched an eyebrow up, not knowing what he meant. "What do you mean?" she asked, looking at his face. Brett let out a chuckle, almost sounding irritated by her answer.

"Now that the almighty Scott is back, how have you been?" Brett asked, a bit of anger present in his voice. "I have been okay," she said. A sad expression came across his face. He almost looked hurt. He felt so much for Lita. He even loved her. He had been trying so hard for the past 3 months to get her back to herself. And he thought he had a shot at making her happy. Guess he was wrong.

"Are you going to tell him?" Brett asked after a long silence. Lita shot him another confused look. What was he talking about. "Tell him what?" Lita asked, a little fear in her voice. Brett took in a deep breath. "About us," he stated, sounding very firm in this tone. Lita let out a stiff laugh. "What about us Brett? We haven't been doing anything," Lita said, trying not to hurt his feelings. Brett his expression grew even sadder.

"Lita, we have been dating for 3 months now. I think we should tell him," Brett said. He really thought that they were an item. Lita folded her hands over her chest and turned away from him.

"Brett, we weren't dating. I just accepted some of your invitations to go out. God, we didn't even kiss," Lita said, her voice getting louder with each word. Brett stood straight and walked up to her. "What has he been doing to you?" Brett asked a little forcefully. "What the fuck is that suppose to mean?" Lita asked. Is was it. She wasn't scared anymore. She was going to give Brett a piece of her mind.

"Has he hurt you again? Did he put his hands on you?" Brett asked. Lita gave him a shocked look. This was unbelievable. "That is none of your business!" Lita yelled, tears starting to form in her eyes. Brett quickly softened at the sight of those tears. "Lita I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way," he apologized. He reached out and touched her shoulder. "Don't touch me!" Lita yelled, taking a step back. Brett was shocked at this. She sounded so terrified.

"Lita, what did Scott do to you?" he carefully asked, trying to find out if he had hurt her again. Lita ran her hands nervously thru her hair. She didn't have to explain herself to him. What she and Scott did was her business, not his. "Brett, he didn't hurt me okay. I'm fine," Lita assured him, her voice softer than before.

Brett stepped forward, trying to touch her again. Lita took another step back. "Don't touch me Brett," she softly said. "What's wrong?" Brett asked her, still believing that Scott had hurt her. " I don't want you to touch me. I don't want to be with you. I only want to be with Scott. I only want him to touch me," Lita softly said, trying her damn hardest not to cry. She knew she was making him hurt, but she needed to tell him the truth.

Brett went up to her and grabbed her by her shoulders. "Lita please," he pleaded, gently shaking her. "Don't touch me please," she whimpered, not wanting to draw attention to her. Brett shook his head. "Lita, why won't you let me love you?" Brett finally asked. Lita trembled at his words. "I had no right to make you love me, when I am not yours to love in return," she softly said, causing Brett to shudder. He looked in her eyes seeing the truth she had spoken. "Lita, you don't understand. He will hurt you again," Brett calmly said, his voice starting to shake.

Lita shook her head violently. "Let me go," she softly said, trying to get away from him. "Lita, please," Brett began. "Let me go, let me go!!!!!!!!!!!!" Lita violently screamed, as if her life depended on it. Brett shook her a little. "Lita, calm down," he said. She wasn't listening. She screamed repeatedly, pulling repeatedly.

"You heard her!" Kevin Nash yelled, who just happened to walk by. Brett turned around to see who was talking to him. "This is none of your business," Brett said, turning back to Lita. "You have your hands on my best friend's girl. So let her go!" Kevin yelled back. His fiancée Molly was standing next to him.

Brett violently turned around. "Yeah, the same best friend that beat the shit out of his girlfriend. The same best friend that hit you with a chair. The same best friend that threatened to hit your fiancée," Brett calmly, but forcefully stated. That was enough to anger Kevin and he went straight up to Brett. "You listen here. What happened has nothing to do with you, so stay out," Kevin yelled.

Molly grabbed Lita by her hand and walked away, Kevin right behind him. "Are you okay?" Molly asked, looking at her best friend. "Yeah, I'm ok," Lita sniffled, wiping her eyes dry.

"Did he do anything to you Li?" Kevin asked, trying to calm his rage. "No Kev, he didn't do anything. He was just commenting on me going back to Scott," Lita said. Molly gave her a big smile. "So you and Scott have worked things out?" She asked, trying not to jump up and down in excitement. "Well, we started to," Lita said, unable to hide her smile. Molly squealed in delight, hugging Kevin on his side.

"That's great Li, it's good to hear that," Kevin said. They reached the dressing room that belonged to Scott. "Want to talk to him?" Lita asked, looking at Molly and Kevin. Molly nodded her head and looked at Kevin. "Might as well," Kevin said. Lita nodded her head and reached for the doorknob, but stopped half way.

"Please don't tell Scott what happened," she pleaded, looking at her 2 best friends. They both nodded their heads and walked inside. Scott immediately stood up at the sight of his best friend. Scott fidgeted with his fingers again, showing he was nervous. Kevin walked up to him and hugged his best friend.

Molly and Lita smiled at the sight. They had waited so long to bring these two together. "We have a match to get to. You 2 can work things out now," Molly said. She walked up to Kevin and gave him a quick kiss. "Good luck," he whispered against her lips. With that the girls left for their match as the 2 best friends started to talk.



Lita and Molly came from behind the curtain. They had just won the match. She second they got backstage, Molly immediately hugged Lita. "That was so awesome!" she exclaimed, nearly choking the life out of Lita. Lita just smiled. She felt good to win. It had been a while since she felt up to a match.

Molly and Lita headed to the locker room. More than anything, Lita needed to see Scott now. Molly just wanted to see Kevin. They were so cute together. They didn't seem to have problems. They even looked like they never fought. A little innocent sense of jealousy crossed Lita's mind. If only she and Scott were like that.

They just passed the corridor when somebody called out to them. "Lita! Lita!" the voice called out. Lita stopped dead in her tracks. It was Brett. She wanted to run, but her body didn't move. Molly looked at Brett in the distant and shook her head. She felt sorry for him. She knew that Brett could actually love Lita. She knew that his feelings for her were genuine. But she also knew that she couldn't make Lita love Brett.

Brett came up to them and greeted Molly politely. Molly gave him a weak smile and started to walk away. "I'll leave you two alone," she said and turned away. However, Brett held her back. "No Molly, I need a witness for this," Brett said, keeping his gaze on Lita. Molly looked confused. Why the hell was she put in this? Lita stood there, slightly in fear. Was he mad at what Kevin had done?

"Witness for what?" Lita asked. Brett let out a deep sigh. "I just talked to Vince. I have a cage match on Raw," Brett said. Molly and Lita looked confused. What did this have to do with them? "So?" Molly asked, trying to seem friendly. Brett took another deep sigh. He hesitated for a moment, but continued what he was saying.

"It's against Scott," he said. Lita let out a small gasp. Molly scoffed. "And why am I not surprised?" Molly laughed, flipping her hands in the air. "You don't understand," Brett began. "It's more than that," he added. Lita looked at him, tears in her eyes.

"It's for my title, and for you," he said, looking at Lita. Lita looked shocked. "Me?" she gasped, pointing at herself. Brett nodded. "This will prove to you that I care about you," he said and walked away. Lita stood there, not believing what just happened. She started to burst in tears. Molly quickly scooped her up and brought her too a bench near by. "It's going to be ok," she said.



"Fuck!" Scott yelled, banging his fist against the locker. He was pissed. Stephanie had come to tell him about his match against Brett. She had come before Lita did. "Scott, I'm sorry, but my dad assigned the match," Stephanie added, trying to help his anger. He banged his hand against the locker again, scaring Stephanie a little.

Kevin saw this and got up. "Stef, you better go. Let me talk to him," Kevin soothed. Stephanie nodded and left. Kevin turned to Scott and tried to calm his friend. "Come on man, calm down," he said, touching Scott's shoulders. Scott jerked away and paced around. "How the fuck am I suppose to calm down! I have a match against an asshole that cant stay away from my girl!" he yelled. He punched the wall.

Kevin sighed. "Scott, stay calm," he repeated. Scott flipped out. "How do you want me to calm down!" Scott yelled again. Kevin grabbed Scott by the shoulders. "For Lita!" Kevin yelled. Scott's demeanor immediately softened. "You have to calm down for Lita," Kevin said in a softer voice.

Scott pulled away and raked his hand through his hair. "I know man," Scott whispered. Kevin let out a deep sigh. "If you don't calm down for her now, you will lose it again," Kevin added. Scott nodded his head. "I know," he softly said. A single tear fell from his eye. Kevin saw it. "Listen man, when Molly and I hit a rough patch, I just use the punching bag. Maybe you should too," he said. Scott nodded his head. "I think I will," Scott concluded.

The door opened and Molly and Lita walked in. Scott gave Lita a soft look, trying to hide his anger. Molly walked up to Kevin and wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed her cheek. "Great match honey," Kevin said, kissing the top of her head. Molly wasn't listening, to deep in thought about Brett.

Lita walked to Scott and gave him a hug. Scott put on a fake smile and hugged her back. "I have a match on raw," he softly said. Lita looked at him with a sad and shocked expression. "Are you going to take it?" she nervously asked. Scott nodded his head. Lita just wrapped her arms tighter around him. She nodded her head and closed her eyes.

"Let's get out of here," Kevin said. Scott agreed and they gathered their stuff. "Ok, same hotel right?" Molly asked, picking up her bag. "Yeah," Lita said. They started to get out of the locker room when Lita suddenly stopped. "You guys go ahead. I have to talk to Vince," she lied. Scott nodded his head. "I'll wait for you," he said, dropping his bag.

Lita shook her head. "No, you go to the hotel with Kevin. I'll come with my car," she said, hoping he would. Scott agreed. "Ok, I'll wait for you at the hotel," he said. He walked up to her and kissed her forehead. Lita smiled. "Bye hun," Molly said, and with that they left.

"Good, I need to talk to Brett," she mumbled to herself and made her way outside.



What will happen if she talks to Brett, only time will tell.
