Praying for Daylight
Chapter 5
Description: She loved him, and he loved her...or so she thought. When he turns on her, who will Lita turn to? Based on RAW 1/9/2006.
Disclaimer: Never owned them. Never have, never will. Sigh.
Distribution: E-mail to ask.
Author's Note: Sorry for the lack of updates! Vince is going to mentioned in this chapter, though I personally hate his guts for what's been going on lately. I haven't watched WWE in a LONG time and have forgotten the intros and stuff, so I hope it isn't too bad.
In the previous chapter...
"So...you want the championship belt back?"
"Hell yeah, woman."
"Thought so. Want to help me get a little revenge on Edge?"
One week later...
Going to Vince with their idea for a new storyline was more nerve-wracking than either of them could possibly have imagined. But to their surprise, Vince loved the idea, knowing that the one between Edge and Lita was getting old.
As they exited Vince's office, John gave the redhead's shoulder a friendly squeeze.
"Ya up for this?" John asked her quietly. It had been exactly seven days since she'd caught Edge and Trish together, but she was still calm, cool and collected.
"I'm more than ready. I just hope he is," she replied, the twinkle in her eye causing John to chuckle.
"Well...I better go get ready for tonight." John hugged her quickly before heading off to his locker room, turning to watch her as she walked off to the one she was to be sharing with Edge.
For despite what was going on, Edge had been acting innocent with Vince for the past week, probably so he could dump Lita publicly.
Little did he know, that wasn't going to happen. John grinned before continuing down the hall.
"The following match is a Championship match, for the title of the WWE Champion. Making his way to the ring, the current WWE Champion from Toronto, Canada, accompanied by Lita...Edge!"
Lita walked down the ramp by Edge's side, for once in her life enjoying the boos from the crowd. Little did the fans know that the smirk on her face wasn't the "I-don't-care" one she'd displayed on previous shows, but another one entirely.
She turned her eyes on Lilian Garcia expectantly.
"His opponent, from West Newbury, Massachusetts...John Cena!"
As John entered the ring and the match began, Lita slid out and to the side, pretending to cheer for Edge. Cena was obviously wrestling better than he ever had. Edge, however, countered with his own moves, knocking Cena to the mat. As John stood up, dazed, Edge grinned at Lita, gesturing for her to execute the Litacanrana...just as she had counted on. Lita got up on the turnbuckle and executed her move, not on John, but on her former boyfriend instead. The referee, who had been temporarily distracted by John, hadn't seen it at all. The fans cheered as Lita slid out of the ring and John FUed Edge and pinned him to pick up the win.
Lita walked up the steel stairs into the ring, smiling viciously at her ex-boyfriend as she gestured for a mike. John stepped to the side, holding his title belt.
"Well, well, well...look what we have here."
"Why, Lita? I've been a good boyfriend, I've kept you satisfied, I've treated you well...The least you could've done was make sure the belt stayed mine" Edge growled, his voice loud enough so the fans could hear.
That was so like him. Just the fact that he was on live television was enough for him to expose her as the bad guy and himself as the good.
Too bad he hadn't counted on the hidden cameras around the locker room.
"When will you ever learn? You never were the good boyfriend, were you? In fact, you couldn't even settle for a relationship based on commitment and loyalty, could you?" Lita seethed. "Maybe we should give the fans a glimpse of what you're really like."
She suppressed a grin when the footage from the previous week began to roll. She had to admit it was a bit painful to watch, but it was worth the expression on his face and the loud boos from the fans.
"You see, Edge, you were right when you said it was time to move on to better things. You moved on to the better skank, and I moved on to a better man."
Edge smirked in an attempt to hide his shock. "And just what man would want you by his side, Li?"
Lita smiled then.
"The true WWE Champ...John Cena."
