PART
SIX
"Hey, girl, how are you feeling?"
Lita
sat up on her bed at the words. She had been lying back on the bed,
her feet dangling over the edge.
"Bored completely out
of my mind, Matt. I don't think I can take much more rest and
relaxation. Can we go out and go four-wheeling or something? I'll
drive."
Matt smiled. The old Lita was slowly coming
back. But, he could tell by her slumped shoulders that she really was
feeling depressed. Her injuries were healing fine, it was her mental
state he worried about most now. Although she tried to hide it, he
knew her
uneasiness about her vision was getting to her.
"Girl,
your driving skills with your normal vision is enough to scare me.
Besides, it's just about time for Raw. Don't you want to watch Jeff
get some revenge on your behalf?"
"Not funny, Matt"
Lita sighed, her voice dropping almost to a whisper. "I can't
see it. I may never see it again."
"Hey now",
he said, reaching out to her hands and pulling her up to her feet.
"Didn't we talk about being positive earlier?" Matt
squeezed her hands he was still holding in reassurance.
"Yeah,

kind of nervous. The not knowing kind of gets to me. I just start
thinking that I may never again see the beautiful things I've taken
for granted all my life. Like sunrises or sunsets or rainbows. Or
even the newest color Jeff puts in his
hair each week." Lita
smiled. "If I get my vision back, I'll never take the beautiful
things for granted ever again".
"Then don't dwell on
it. This is all going to work out. Let's go downstairs and watch Jeff
and Jericho get revenge on those WCW idiots. You will not even
believe what kind of plans we have for those morons tonight. You
know, I'm kind of glad Vince called
him back after all."
"Will
you do play by play for me?"
"This match is shaping
up to be a real slobberknocker" Matt mocked, imitating Jim
Ross. He pulled her behind him, heading for the
downstairs
area.
Lita laughed and grabbed his arm with her free hand.
"Matt?" she asked?
"Yeah"
"Thanks.
I am going to be just fine. And next week, I'll kick their WCW butts
myself."
"That's my girl!"
