Matt looked at the clock and sighed when he realized he was going to have to wake Lita up soon. The so-called funeral would be taking place in two hours and she still had to get ready. God, he didn't want to do this but Lita had said they probably should.

They were going to go on RAW in three weeks and announce to the world more about Lucas. That way, maybe somebody had seen him or something. He sighed once more before sitting at the edge of the bed.

It had been four days since the police had called and so far, every night Lita had ended up crying herself to sleep. Then again, he was pretty sure last night was the first night he had actually gotten any sleep. The thought of finding sleep when he was this...this upset seemed impossible.

"Lita? Baby, you have to wake up," whispered Matt quietly and she muttered something incoherent.

Matt rubbed her cheek a bit and closed his eyes. The poor girl...today is going to slowly kill her in more ways than one. Hell, it was going to kill both of us, he thought sadly.

"Come on baby girl, you have to wake up. It's going to be okay," cooed Matt and this time she opened one eye and looked up at him. She whimpered a bit and Matt sighed. "Shh it's okay. I know it hurts but everything's going to be okay," whispered Matt and she nuzzled against him.

"I don't want to do this Matt. I don't think I can make it through in one piece if I do this," she said, her voice breaking and Matt thought his heart was going to shatter.

"I know baby, I know," he whispered in her ear and she held back the sob that wanted to escape her lips. Matt lifted her gaze and she tried to pull away from him.

"Don't cry honey. It'll be okay. This isn't the end," he said and she nodded weakly. He was right. This wasn't the end. They would find Lucas, no matter if it was the last thing they did.

A half hour later, Lita was done in the shower and she was in the kitchen sipping a cup of coffee. Matt entered and sat down across from her. She wasn't looking up at him. God, they were both a mess. Her eyes were puffy from crying still and he wasn't sure he could make it through this day without breaking in half.

She glanced up at him and managed a weak smile.

"Hey there," she said quietly and he shrugged. He placed his hand on hers and she looked up to meet his eyes.

"Don't worry baby girl. Everything's going to be fine. He's going to be found and everything will be back to normal."

"I know. I just...I just keep thinking that what if this is the end? What if we never find him, Matt?" she asked softly, her voice breaking and tears were pooling into her eyes.

"Were going to find him Li. Were going to find him, and I promise you the world, everything is going to be back to normal," he whispered fiercely and she nodded.

"I hope you're right," whispered Lita hoarsely.

The funeral

Lita collapsed helplessly against Matt about twenty minutes into the funeral. She couldn't help it anymore. She wasn't supposed to be doing this! He was too young. They shouldn't have to have a funeral for him!

Matt gently stroked her hair and rocked her back and forth. He was trying to be strong. He kept telling himself that this wasn't over, that Lucas was still alive. He gently kissed her head and he could hear a soft sob escape her lips.

"Shh, it's okay," he whispered in her ear and she shook her head against his chest.

"It, it hurts Matt. It hurts so bad," she said between sobs and Matt nodded weakly.

He swallowed hard and managed to try his hardest to listen to what the minister was saying without breaking down. Tears escaped his eyes but he didn't care. Everybody around him was crying. All of their friends and co-workers were there.

With that, he silently allowed Lita to cry into his chest as the funeral went on.

As soon as the funeral was over, Matt held Lita away from him and looked into her hazel eyes. Her eyes were puffy and he could feel her still shaking a bit. People had been coming up to him and offering their condolences one by one. Matt had said a few words at the funeral and so had many other people.

"It's all over baby. It's all done," he said quietly and she nodded, taking a shaky breath.

"I-I know. I just...Matt, can I please just be alone for a little bit. Please," she pleaded softly and he nodded. He knew she needed this. Mostly everybody was scattered around in various places and he figured he'd go see how they were doing.

"Okay. I'll be here if you need me though," said Matt and she nodded.

"Thank you Matt."

Lita sat on her knees in front of the small grave they had for Lucas. She couldn't help the small sobs that escaped her lips. She wanted so badly to believe Matt when he said they would find her, but she wasn't so sure. She hated this. She hated not waking up and having Lucas around. She hated feeling this way every day of her life.

She felt a hand on her shoulder and she looked up to find Jeff standing next to her. She went to speak but he waved it off, kneeling down next to her.

"Hey sweetheart," he said softly and she looked down at the ground. She didn't want Jeff to see her tears.

"Come on little one. You shouldn't be out here all by yourself. Why don't you come in with Matt and me?" coaxed Jeff and she shrugged.

"I, I want to stay here. I just...I just want to be alone," she said and Jeff pulled her against him.

"It's going to be okay Li. You guys are going to find him, promise," said Jeff and Lita let out another small sob.

"What if we don't? What if he is gone forever?" asked Lita and Jeff shook his head.

"You can't think like that. It'll just hurt you even more," said Jeff but Lita didn't say anything.

"Come on, please just come inside. It's getting cold and I think there's going to be a snowstorm later," said Jeff, trying to get Lita to go inside.

"He hated being outside in storms," said Lita and Jeff closed his eyes.

"I know. He's going to fine honey. You just have to convince yourself that," said Jeff and she nodded.

"Okay. I'll go inside," she said and Jeff smiled before letting her lean on him and he walked her into the house.
