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, we did. It's just so hard, you know?"

"Yeah, I do. But I am confident that you will be back to your old self in no time. Tomorrow, as a matter of fact. We fly back to Tampa to see Dr. Patton tomorrow morning you know."

"I think that's why I'm 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!"
