A/N: I decided to continue, still not real sure where its gonna go, but here it is! Thanks for the reviews.
Trish wiped the tears from her eyes. Her brief conversation with Jeff had left her stunned. She knew he was right.She couldn't hide from love forever. She looked around the empty locker room, and felt a need to get out of there.

She ran down the halls, searching for the exit, narrowly avoiding running into various others, leaving most watch her run with a startled expression. She found the exit, and quickly was out the door, lookling for a place to sit and think. She saw a bench around the corner of the building, and with a sigh, sank onto it.

" What a mess." She said aloud.

" Life's a mess." Trish was startled at the voice behind her. She watched in silence as Lita walked towards her, and simply sat next to her.

" I take it Jeff found you?" Lita asked.

" Yeah. We talked." She said warily, sfter the events that had transpired between the two recently, Trish wasn't sure if Lita was here to help or not.

" I figured you'd need some one to talk to." She said simply, as if reading Trish's thoughts. Then sat patiently waiting for Trish to begin.

" When Jeff left, it hurt so much, because, he left without a word, he never even bothered to explain, he just walked away from me like I didn't matter, after all the times he said he loved me. He didn't think twice about leaving.It hurt, it hurt alot." Trish admitted.

" You think he didn't think twice? Believe me he hurt just as much as you. It took him a long time to get over leaving you. Hell, he still isn't completely over it." Lita said.

" I- he- uh" Trish took a deep breath then began again" I didn't know that. I just knew he was gone."

They sat in silence for a long time, then Trish spoke " When Chris started to actually care about me, I mean after that whole stupid bet thing, I was scared, because I knew if I let myself, I could come to care about him, but then I remembered the bet, and I figured if he could do that, without regard to my feelings, then he could leave me ." Like Jeff did.

" So, you were scared, You acted on your fears, doing what you thought would make it better.?" Lita questiuoned softly.

"Yeah." She agreed.

Lita thought for a moment before speaking. " I can't tell you what to do, but I can offer you this." she paused " I let my fear control my actions, and look what that got me, I'm even more miserable now than I was before. Don't make those same mistakes, Trish, take a chance on happiness." With those words, Lita stood, and headed back towards the entrance to the arena.

" Li?" Trish called out

Lita stopped but didn't turn around.

" I'm sorry, for the things I've said and done, I didn't mean any of it." She said tearfully.

Lita acknowledged the apology with a small nod. " Don't worry about it Trish, You got bigger problems right now." Then she continued back into the arena.

Trish smiled, she knew she was a long way from redeeming herself, but she'd made a start.
