A.N. I've had this things sitting around in my drive online for YEARS now! I'd randomly open it up and read it with the intention of posting it and never would. Made the choice today to throw this out there cause I got nothing to lose really!

"Back On The Map"
By: Lexanna Sapphire Pendragon
Gotten too far off the map.
Not so sure I can get back.
Was I the one who drifted off?
Did I take advantage of good love?
'Cause I swear I did everything I could've done.
But what good is love
Without the trust?
She sat at the bar drinking silently, the music coming through the speakers in the ceiling playing a song about love and heartbreak. Her eyes flitted up to the TV above her where Monday Night Raw happened to be on. She sighed softly taking another drink silently talking to herself in a muttering condescending tone.
"I doubt they'd even want to see me back in the ring. The last time I was there they were still calling me a whore for screwing up a relationship" She shakes her head slowly going back to nursing her drink. "Though I do miss it. The traveling...the girls.." She laughs softly. "Though I doubt they miss me.''
"That's where you're wrong...they miss you" She turned around and smiled at the man standing in front of her. "Long time no see Amy..." He sat down next to her and laid his hand over hers squeezing gently. "I'll bring you home, don't worry" He turned and ordered a beer, and the pair spent the rest of the night talking and catching up eventually closing the bar down and she was once again on her way back home.
Home to the ring.
Does anybody wanna
Put me back, put me back
On the map
I'd read all about it
I'd do anything, anything
That you asked
The months flew by for her, she trained the hardest that she could at the local gyms she hit up with him, perfecting her moonsault once again along with the Twist of Fate, making sure that there was even more power behind it. They spent hours working together practicing making sure her neck was still okay after her surgery by taking bump after bump, testing her resilience. They even worked together to create a few new variations of her classic moves just for the hell of it. She looked good, she felt great and for the first time in years she was happy again.
'Cause honestly I've been
Out of touch and out of reach
Just looking for someone, anything
That's finally gonna put me back
Put me back on the map
Something steady, something good
It's probably closer than I thought it could be
All this off the grid is getting old
And my compass says I'm getting close
But I don't know, it's hard to read
So I'll just keep moving
Hoping someone out there's gonna
"Amy...Breathe! Once your music goes off that crowd is going to go wild. You'll see." She nodded at him and reached over squeezing his hand before taking a breath and releasing it before starting to pace again. "I need to go out there but I'll see you soon...just please god remember the cue" She nodded at him and went back to pacing, still keeping an eye on the monitor in the back. She watched as he dropped to the mat after a chair shot and gave a quick nod to the coordinator breaking through the back and making a dash for the ring as her music blared through the arena to a shocked but energetic crowd.
Put me back, put me back
On the map
I'd read all about it
I'd do anything, anything

The pair cleared out the ring in a timely fashion, taking out the guys and Amy never missed a step. She reared back and landed a perfect clothes line to Nikki Bella before standing over Paige protectively. She reached down and pulled the diva to her feet giving her a genuine smile before raising her hand in triumph with Paige staring at her in anger and shock. She pulled free and walked over to the announce table picking up a microphone.
"Let me be the first to say, this is quite a surprise Lita. You were the last one I expected to see out here tonight." Amy could only shrug in response as the crowd stood chanting for her. "But this is MY HOUSE now!" Amy moved to the ropes leaning over the top.
"This maybe "Your House" but I helped build it little girl so be happy I even helped you to your feet!" She backed up quickly as Paige slid back into the ring charging for her. She moved out of the way, taking the younger woman down with ease before leaning down and speaking to her in a soft whisper. "Be warned little girl...I'm taking my house back" Amy moved back against the ropes and flipped out, high fiving a few of the fans as she walked by heading back up the ramp. The moment she got into the back she was scooped up and spun around.
"YOU...WERE...AMAZING!" She laughed as she let her head fall back. He put her down and let her dust off. " I knew the moment you stood over Paige I had to leave...it wasn't about me, it was all about you" She blushed a crimson and looked down finally letting her nerves really consume her. "And I told you that they would be happy to see you again didn't I?" She nodded and slid around him popping up to kiss his cheek
'Cause honestly I've been
Out of touch and out of reach
Just looking for someone, anything
That's finally gonna put me back
Put me back on the map
"Thanks for the ego boost" she said with a smile before heading down the hall stopping to talk to a few of the girls and catch up with a few of the guys as well, hugging Stephanie as she walked by.
"Welcome back Amy!" Steph said with a smile. "One time gig or…" She let her voice trail off as Amy smirked and started walking again.
"You'll just have to see princess"
S.O.S is out of hand
Just holding out for a love again
I'm sending signals, find me fast
I know, I know
There's gotta be somebody who can
He landed on his back on the hotel bed staring up at the ceiling. The past few months had been torture for him, and having to be out there tonight with her just made it worse for him. He hadn't been expecting to fall in love with her.
*This is AMY! She's damn good looking!* his brain screamed at him. "yeah and she's single" he found himself saying back. "I mean hell Phil's married to April now..Adam's got Beth...everywhere I look it seems like everyone's got SOMEBODY" He ran his fingers through his hair pulling it back into a ponytail as he heard a knock on his door. "Hold up a second!" he called out sliding off the bed heading for the door surprised to see Amy standing there. "Red? What's…." He staggered back as Amy threw herself into his arms kissing him needfully
Put me back, put me back
On the map
Cause I'd read all about it
I'd do anything anything

She smiled as she pulled back from him. "You finally put me back on the map...Thank you. I tried to hide my feelings the whole time we were training together but I realized tonight watching you take that chair shot that I couldn't. I wasn't going out there tonight to protect Paige, I was going out there to protect you'' He gave her a soft smile really unsure what to say.
"Amy...I heard Steph ask you if it was a one time thing...tell me it's…"
"It's not...if you'll have me, I'd like to stay."
She was home
