When Jeff came into view he was lying in a pool of his own blood with eyes closed. "Jeff!" Lita shouted.
"Lita stay back," Shane Helms said putting an arm around her shoulder.
"What happened to him?" she cried watching the trainers swarm around him.
"Matt found him and beat him with the chair...I found him and he wouldn't wake up, I tried everything," Shane explained.
"Oh God!" Lita said breaking away from Shane and heading towards Jeff.
"Lita you'll have to move away from him," one of the trainers said.
"I won't...I'm going to stay by him, and I'm going to ride with him to the hospital." Lita said firmly.
"You can't...you're going to have to have someone else drive you," the other trainer said gently pushing her back.
"NO!" she shouted. "I have to go with him!"
More wrestlers gathered around the area. Edge appeared beside Lita in a heartbeat. "Li, honey, I'll drive you c'mon, we'll be right behind him and when he wakes up you'll be there I promise sweetheart," Edge whispered kissing her head.
Edge was good at that, comforting the redhead. He always knew exactly what to say to her, no matter what was going on. Lita buried her head in the tall Canadian's chest and wept silently. "Edge, what if he's really hurt?" she mumbled against his muscular form.
"He'll be fine honey, I promise, he's a fighter, we all know that," Edge cooed.
"Aww...is poor Wita worried about wittle Jeffy Weffy?" a cold deep voice said from behind Lita and Edge.
"Matt you dirty bastard!" Edge growled.
"Matt get out of here, you've caused enough damage." Lita spat.
"Oh no my sweet, I haven't caused enough," he said walking towards them.
Edge stepped in front of Lita and gently moved her behind him. "What do you want Hardy?" he asked in a low threatening voice.
"Adam, Adam, Adam," Matt said with a soft chuckle. "I don't want to cause any trouble just damage."
As Matt spoke he walked towards Lita. Edge then moved protectively in front of her, and bared his teeth like a dog would. "Don't even think about it Hardy," he warned.
"Well don't tell me what to do," Matt shot back.
"I'll do what ever the hell I want when I want to," Edge replied looking down at Matt.
"Hey buddy I don't think so," Matt said shoving Edge.
Edge growled and raised his fist to punch Matt. Lita quickly jumped in. "Edge don't he's really not worth it, let's just go see Jeff." She pleaded tugging on his arm.
Edge looked down at the redhead and sighed then looked back to Matt. "You're one lucky fucker Matt, c'mon Li, let's go."
With that they walked over to Edge's truck, got in, and drove to the hospital leaving an angry Matt behind.
-
As Edge drove, Lita stared out the window watching the trees pass by. She didn't say anything because she had nothing to say. The only thing on her mind was being with Jeff, if something bad happened to him she'd kill Matt herself.
Jeff had always been there for her, and she had been there for him. She remembered this one time long ago when Matt had forgotten her birthday and went out instead of staying with her. Jeff had been there...
~*~ FLASHBACK ~*~
"Wh-where are you going?" Lita asked shocked that Matt had announced he was leaving.
"I'm going out with Jay, Shane, and Chris," he said sounding annoyed that she asked.
"Don't you know what today is?" Lita asked feeling tears prick the back of her eyes.
"Yeah...it's April fourteenth," he replied tying his second boot.
"Have a good time," Lita said bitterly.
"Thanks babe," he said ignoring her bitterness.
The door closed and Lita began to weep. She didn't weep because he went out, well that wasn't the main reason, it was that he didn't even bother wishing her a happy birthday...he'd totally forgotten.
The knock on the door caused her to quit crying and dry her eyes. "Who is it?" she asked.
"It's Jeff," he drawled out.
"Come in Jeff," she said.
Jeff walked in and frowned. "What's wrong beautiful?" he asked sitting on the bed next to her.
"Oh, it's Matt, he forgot my birthday and he went out with the guys and left me here, I mean I wouldn't have minded if he at least said 'happy birthday sweetie' you know?" she said forcing back her tears.
Jeff sat there a moment in deep thought. Then his whole face brightened up. "I'll be right back," he said walking into the kitchen.
"O...kay," Lita said shaking her head.
Seconds later Jeff returned with a small plate, and on that plate was three pieces of bread stacked up with a lit candle in the center. Lita's eyes followed him as he came and sat next to her.
"Happy birthday to you...happy birthday to you...happy birthday my Lita, happy birthday to you," he sang softly.
This display caused Lita to laugh and cry at the same time. "Oh Jeff, you're so sweet...you did this for me?" she asked trying not to cry but not succeeding.
"Yeah, I don't want to see you sad, it breaks my heart, and I especially don't want to see you this sad on your birthday...it makes me sad. Now blow out your candles and make a wish." He coaxed.
Lita laughed softly and blew out the candles wishing for only on thing...for Matt to love and appreciate her.
~*~ END OF FLASHBACK ~*~
That hadn't been the only time Jeff made up for Matt's mess-ups. He'd been there for her when they got into fights and he'd been there when they'd make up. He also protected her when Matt couldn't.
'What's going on with me?' Lita asked herself.
She then remembered the time Matt had gotten in a fight with her brother Billy and said they shouldn't see him anymore...Lita wasn't going to side with him, so he left her...Jeff was there again, to listen to her and let her cry while he held her.
Realization then hit her like a brick. It wasn't Matt who she should be in love with...it was Jeff. And the irony of that was...she did indeed love him.
-
It was bright...just so bright. 'That was painful,' he thought.
"Jeff Hardy! We've been waitin' on your crazy white ass for sometime now...we been 'spectin you since you turned four," a voice said behind him.
Jeff spun around and came face to face with a black man in a bright white robe. The brightness of his wardrobe caused him to squint his eyes. "Who the hell are you?" he asked.
The man walked right up to Jeff and struck him across the face. "Boy you better be glad I don't send your ass there!" he said furrowing his brow.
"Ow!" Jeff said clasping the side of his face. "What was that for?"
"You really aren't that bright are you?" the man asked.
"I guess not, cuz I get that a lot," Jeff replied grinning sheepishly.
"I know...I know a lot about you Jeff," the man said changing the subject.
"Really...so are you like this godly figure that's going to freak me out by telling me all this crazy shit that everyone knows about me?" he asked.
"I know you're in love with Lita," he countered.
Jeff froze and looked at the man with wide eyes. "How do you know that?"
"I know everything there is to know..."
"How do I know you're not some bum my brother hired to scare me?"
The man struck Jeff again. "Boy you better recognize who you be talkin' to!" he said angrily.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry geez you don't have to hit me," Jeff complained.
"You need a good ass kickin oh wait I forgot your punk ass brother already gave you that," the man said with a nasty grin.
"HEY! That was a cheap ass shot and you know it!" Jeff said raising his voice.
"Yeah I know that...I also know you helped Stephanie see that Chris and her belong together, that was a good thing you did Hardy, the big man was real impressed." He said.
"Wait...you mean I'm...I'm DEAD!?" Jeff asked turning as pale as the man's clothing.
"Not really *dead* persay but you're like in between. The big man decided that you deserve a chance...for yourself, your friends, and Lita."
"Why Lita, I mean I know we're friends but why her specifically?"
"You are a dense white boy! Because she loves you and you love her...the big man doesn't want to break that up before it's expressed."
"Well...thank the big man for me," Jeff replied.
"You know it," the black man replied.
"But you're sure she loves me right, you're not just saying this to get me all excited?"
The black man reared his hand back ready to slap Jeff again. "Okay wait! Dumb question I'm sorry!" Jeff said before he was slapped yet again.
"Well duh it was a dumb question...even when we dead and all white like, the white man don't trust us...naw never will neither,"
"So—," Jeff was cut off by the shaking of the ground beneath him. "Wha- What's going on?" he asked.
"It was a nice meet while it lasted Hardy...we'll meet again..."
And that was all Jeff saw of the mysterious black man before he started waking. Only one thing was one his mind then...telling Lita how he really felt about her...
****AN2: Okay guys what did you think? And I must say I am SO deeply truly very sorry!! I didn't mean for the update to take this long...was it even that long? I don't remember anymore. ANYWAY a few things need to be said here...1. The flashback isn't totally completely mine. I bummed it from another fic BUT it's not totally the same I changed it some to make it mine...so if the author of that fic reads this PLEASE KNOW I DON'T MEAN TO PISS YOU OFF BY USING IT I SWEAR TO MYSELF OKAY? Think of it as a complement :D Thanks. And I also don't mean to offend anyone with the black 'angel' it's only meant for humor and you guys are probably thinking how could that offend anyone? Well it could to someone and I don't mean for it to...with that said I must go, I'll update soon. Now don't forget my review!! JA2008
