Cry Me A River

Disclaimer: The characters do not belong to me, only the story does.
Rating: PG
Spoilers: This will take place just before Summerslam and lead up to and through that event (possibly even a little after it)
Summary: After Matt turns on her again, Lita finds help and perhaps even love in the most unexpected place
Feedback: Always! :)
Pairings: Lita/Shawn, Lillian/RVD and Jeff/Torrie (I know it was originally Jeff/Stacy, but it just ain't gonna work out that way, sorry!)

Notes: This idea seemed quite popular, which really surprised me! I love Shawn Michaels and I had to have a fic that included him, so I'm glad you're all interested in reading it!
PLEASE NOTE: In this fic, Shawn Michaels is not married and does not have a kid. The references HHH made when Shawn challenged him to the match were to his nephew (he now has one!) and those specifically about his wife were HHH saying it'd stop him having a relationship in the future. *Lita is not injured in this fic, and when Matt turned on Jeff, Lita was there as well, and he revealed a little something else.*

Part Two
~x~x~x~x~x~
"Oh, my God, Lil, what happened?" Lita rushed to the doorway pulling her friend into her arms, sending a questioning look at the man who was currently shutting the door behind them.
"I.I."
Shawn placed a hand on the petite ring announcer's shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Test attacked her."
"What?" Lita pulled back and stared into Lillian's eyes, trying to gauge if what Shawn had said was true. The blonde nodded and instantly pulled her friend back into an embrace.
"What.what can I do?"
Lita smiled at his uncertainty. "If you helped her, I think you've already done a lot, but if you want to help more, you could go get Rob Van Dam."
Shawn frowned slightly, wondering why the small blonde would want the laid back and slightly insane man present, but he didn't say anything, simply nodding and leaving the room. Lita pulled her friend down to the couch and sat back slightly, looking at her.
"Are.are you okay?"
Lillian took a deep breath. "Thanks to Shawn."
"What happened, Lil?"
"He just.I was.I was coming to surprise you, I was going to go out and let Howard Finkle see that I was back, and he just grabbed me.said that he knew I wanted him and that.and that."
Seeing that tears would soon arrive, Lita pulled her friend into her arms and hugged her tightly. Lillian was a strong woman, it was something that Lita had always admired in the sense that Lillian was a gentle person, but she still had an air of strength around her. Seeing her this broken tore at the redhead's heart. Trish had said the same thing when the two had gone to visit her, both women sensing that their friend's strength was crumbling and hating to see it. There was only one person that seemed to make her feel strong again and he was currently entering the room at high speed.
"Lily, are you okay? I'll kill him, I swear I'll kill him."
Lita almost smiled at the surprise on Shawn Michaels' face. Not many people had seen Rob angry and those who had usually regretted it, or at the very least hoped they were not to be the recipient. She moved from the couch, allowing the Rob to sit next to his girlfriend and moved to the doorway.
"Thank you, you didn't have to help her, but you did."
"Of course I had to help her. No one deserves to be treated like that, like a toy," Lita held her breath as he seemed to aim that last statement at her. She held his intense stare for a few moments before breaking contact and looking away.
"I.thank you anyway."
"Like I said, I did what I thought was right, but you're welcome."
She looked up and smiled, but she couldn't help frowning at the dressing on his forehead. Without even realising what she was doing, she reached out her hand, grazing her fingers across his forehead.
"Does it still hurt?"
A little shocked at the contact, Shawn stuttered for a few moments before mentally shaking himself. "I.yeah, a little. Does yours?"
She frowned. "My head wasn't hit."
"No, your head wasn't, but you were still hurt." Lita looked away and closed her eyes, hearing him curse at himself. "I'm sorry, I had no right to ask that."
No," she said, turning to look at him again. "It's okay. And yes, what Matt did still hurts."
"It won't go away for a while, I guess, but you have Jeff."
"And I couldn't love him more if he was my own brother.but the fact remains that he's lost his brother."
"I kinda know what that feels like."
"Just so that you know, Shawn, I hope you kick Triple H's ass next week."
He laughed, but she couldn't sense any humour in it. "I wish I didn't have to."
"I know."
He nodded and made a move to leave. "Well, same goes for you and Jeff."
She nodded and he smiled. Her grin widened and he winked at her. "I'll go now. Keep an eye on Lillian and if Rob needs a hand kickin' Test and his friend's collective asses, tell him to give me a bell."
"I will," she frowned. "I thought your back was injured."
He looked away. "Things aren't always what they seem, Lita." And with that parting remark he nodded his head to Lillian and Rob and exited the room, leaving behind a very confused Lita.

Still enjoying? Hope so! LoL! Should be more out soon, and don't worry, you'll find out the whole Matt story soon!
Also, as I mentioned at the top, sorry for those of you who wanted it Jeff/Stacy as I'd originally planned, but it was just too complicated to keep that in, so it's now going to be Jeff/Torrie
