Sticking Together

By S. Christian

DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the names or likenesses of World Wrestling Entertainment and quite frankly don't have the money to say that I do.

Hello there, folks. Some people may have read some of my other fiction (if I'm on your author alert, you've read The Aftermath), but this is my first time on the WWE train. This fic involves mainly Lita, Jeff Hardy, and Matt Hardy. Cameo's by some other wrestler's will come to be, but these are the main peeps. Enjoy!

NOTE: This story is written as if the storyline was real. I am no stranger to the fact that the WWE and it's storyline is fake. Don't criticise me over that. Thank you!

She had never been so worried in her life. Jeff was lying there, meds trying to wake him up. He wouldn't. She had tears in her eyes. He put the number on Matt.

Finally, Jeff stirred. He tried opening his eyes, but could only do so to an extent. His breathing was deep.

"Mr. Hardy. Mr. Hardy! Can you hear me?"

He almost inaudibly said "Yes."

"Do you know what happened to you?"

"Yes."

"How are you feeling?"

"Tired."

"Does your neck or shoulder hurt?"

"Both."

He fell back asleep. At least he was alive.

One of the medics walked over to Amy. "We're going to transfer him over to the hospital. He's alright. No fatal injuries. This might take a little time to heal. I'll notify the hospital that you have unlimited visitation. Bring a blanket. He might be there a while."

"Thanks," she said, really glad she could at least stay with Jeff.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although she would have liked to ride in the ambulance with Jeff, someone had to get the car. She drove to the hospital as quickly as possible. Fortunately for her, she wasn't far from the hospital as it was.

She walked in and asked where Jeff was, showing some ID so they knew she was allowed in there. She walked in. He was still asleep.

She walked over and brushed the hair out of his face. He slowly opened his eyes. He grinned the best he could.

"Did I knock him out?"

Amy laughed. Again, his uncanny ability to do that no matter what. "Yeah. You kicked his sorry ass. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a few rooms away."

"That's not reassuring."

She grinned down at him, now playing with his hair. That strange mix of green and blue. "Why did you do that? You surely weren't in the condition for it."

"If I didn't, you would have been in here. Call me crazy, but that's what boyfriend's do. Take the blow for his girl."

"Thank you, baby. But the swanton?"

He smiled. "Had to keep the asshole down."

"You did a good job."

As they talked, Stephanie McMahon walked in.

"Hope I'm not interupting anything."

Jeff winced to turn his neck and look at Steph. "Not at all."

Steph took that as permission to come in.

"You two are in action at Royal Rumble as a team. Will it be too soon?"

"What kind of match?" Jeff asked.

"Four way TLC Tag for the new TLC Tag belts. You'll be up against RVD and Hurricane, Tajiri and A-Train, and Matt Hardy and Shannon Moore. Is that alright?"

Jeff laughed. "Steph, you just made my day."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next few weeks included Jeff assaulting Matt, Matt assaulting Jeff, and in the end, everybody completely pissed off with one another. That's when Jeff got the idea.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cole: What is Jeff doing out here, interrupting the match between RVD and Matt?

Tazz: At least this time, he only came with a microphone instead of a chair, right?

Cole: Let's hear what he has to say.

Jeff (standing at the ramp): Don't let me ruin your match... I just thought you'd like to know something. I did a little talking with Stephanie McMahon back there, and you wouldn't believe what we came to agreement on.

Tazz: This sounds serious.

Jeff: We know that four teams are going to clash in the biggest TLC match ever, with the new TLC Tag Belts suspended over our heads. What YOU don't know is what that has to do with Miss McMahon. You see, I had a proposition to make and Steph loved it. Instead of handing the belts to the first team that grabs them, I had something more, say, entertaining to suggest.

Tazz: Here it comes!

Jeff: So, at the Royal Rumble, this Sunday, LIVE on pay per view, it will be RVD & The Hurricane vs. Tajiri & A-Train vs. Matt Hardy & Shannon Moore vs. Jeff Hardy and Lita in a four way ELIMINATION TLC match. (crowd cheers) The last two teams battle to grab the belts from the very top. Other wise, it's a pinfall to put someone out. See ya there! Oh, and by the way, Matt. Your match isn't over.

(matt turns around only to be met by a van daminator. five star splash and rvd won. jeff went backstage.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jeff smiled to himself. Matt was his. Matt was in trouble. Matt was practically dead already.

Kind of a short chapter... Sorry about that... Review it anyway! Until we meet again, I must say adios.
