Her Saving Grace

Chapter Two

Chaos Ensues

Slowly the three made their way into the room. They stopped and talked to Mickie's aunt Josey. Lita didn't hear a word being said. All's she could think about was her best friend. Her best friend who was laying lifeless only 10 feet away from them. There was a crowd around the casket. Randy, Stacy, Vicky, Ashley, Matt and Dave were all up there. They were blocking the casket. She was hoping against all hope that none of them would move.

But it was to no avail. Because right after the thought ran through her mind Dave moved from his spot at the casket and Lita could see the face of her best friend. Her legs went weak and a loud squeaky gasp slipped out of Lita's chest. Lita could feel Trish's hand and Johns arm tightening their grips on her. Trish and John turned towards the casket as Josey went to talk to the other guests.

Lita's legs felt like jello. Trish and John were pretty much dragging her towards the casket. She couldn't feel her legs moving. She felt like she was floating through the air. Floating to a destination she thought she'd never have to make. They stopped at the casket. Stacy walked over to her sisters and grabbed Lita's other hand as John moved back so that Lita would have the support of her sister's.

Randy, Dave and Vicky were to their left, Matt and Ashley to their right and John behind them. They were all standing around closely. There to be there for their friend if she fell. Lita's gaze was fixed on the wall, at the red rose on Dave's jacket, at the flowered wallpaper, at everything but the body that was lying in front of her. She didn't think she could do this.

Slowly she forced herself to look at the lifeless body of her best friend. Mickie, usually so lifelike and animated was so still. She found it hard to believe that her friend who was always lively could be so still. Mic was always moving. Always doing something. But now she was motionless. Her usually bright smile looked like a grimacing frown. Her skin looked waxy.

She heard a scream resonating through the room. She then realized the scream came from her. She fell to her knees her hands hitting the ground. She sat there with her head in her hands, crying, the words, no, no, no, repeatively coming from her mouth. Trish and Stacy promptly crouched down beside her and embraced her and tried to comfort her.

Everyone now had tears streaming down their faces as they saw and heard the raw emotions that Lita was resonating. With tears still streaming down her face Lita looked at her sisters and said, "Why. Why my best friend?"

None of them answered her because none of them had an answer for that. They'd all been asking themselves that same question over the past week since Mickie's death. Lita then broke down again her heart wrenching sobs breaking the hearts of everyone who were close enough to hear them.

After the realization dawned on all of them that Lita wasn't going to be able to walk out of that room of her own free will John gently picked her up and carried her out of the funeral home with their friends following after them. John carried Lita to the sitting area the funeral home had made for grieving families. John sat down on the bench with Lita on his lap. Her hands desperately clutching onto his shirt so hard her knuckles were white. Her head was buried in his chest and hard sobs were wracking her body.

They stayed like that for nearly 30 minutes. Lita's sobs slowly subsided and her grip on John's shirt slowly untightened. With a rough scratchy voice she said, "I'm sorry guys." Trish looked up at those sad hazel eyes and gently said, "Li, you have nothing to be sorry about. Anyone of us would have probably acted the same way if it was our bestest friend that was lying in there. Honey you're upset and lost and you probably don't know what to do with yourself, but you never need be sorry for it."

Lita picked her head up off of John's head just in time to see Alana walking towards them. Li slowly got up off of John's lap and walked into Lana's open outstretched arms. As they embraced silent tears started to stream down both of their faces. "Lana I'm so sorry." "Thanks Li. I still can't believe it. This all seems so surreal. My sister's gone. How didn't I see the signs Li? How did I not see her pain? I'm her sister. I should have been able to see it. I should have been able to stop her" Lita didn't answer right away. She didn't know what to say. That question had been running over and over again in her mind since last Tuesday.

"Lana look at me." Lana's head slowly looked up at Lita as Lita said, "Lana hunnie, none of us saw it. She kept it well hidden. We were always together and she never even let on that she was hurting so much." "But," "No Lana. You couldn't have seen it. She didn't want anyone too. She probably thought she would just be a burden if she did."

Lana let out a sigh, "Damn her. Damn her stubbornness. Didn't she know that we, (gesturing towards all of their closest friends) would have down anything for her? Why didn't she just tell someone? Why?" "You answered that question yourself, hun. She was stubborn. So stubb..."

Lita was interrupted by a tall muscular blonde man walking over to them. "Kenny," They all hissed out at the same time. "You have some nerve showing your face here Kenny," Lana angrily said, "How dare you, you bastard." "Lana please. I just wanted to come pay my respects to the woman I loved. And I have just as much right to be here as they all do." Kenny said irritatingly.

With all of the strength that the 5 ft 4 girl had she lifted her hand and slapped Kenny across his cheek leaving a large red welt. "How dare you. How dare you compare yourselves to them? Unlike you, you piece of shit, they actually did love her. They were the ones there for her after you cheated on her with everything with a skirt. They were the ones that stood by her when Kyle was killed. Your son Kenny. Kyle was your son Kenny and where the hell were you at. Not there that's for damn sure." Lana said irate.

"It's a miracle that damn bastard child died. Because if he would have turned out anything like his mother I would have killed him myself." was Kenny's harsh reply. Time seemed to stand still. Everyone shocked by Kenny's comments about his son. None of then knew what exactly happened because the next thing they knew Kenny was landing on the pavement his head making a sickening thud as it hit the hard surface.

All's that was seen was a blur of red flying through the air. After the shock wore off they all looked at the man on the ground being ruthlessly pummeled with fragile hands. It took them a minute to realize that it was Lita beating the young man. "You worthless piece of shit. How dare you. How fucking dare you. Who the fuck do you think you are. She loved you. She woulda done anything for your sorry ass. And how did you repay her. You hurt her repeatedly. Over and over again you hurt her. How dare you say that about her and your child? " None of them really wanted to pull the fiery redhead off the insolent asshole but knew they'd have to or else they'd have a dead jackass on their hands.

It took all of them to pull Lita off of Kenny. She put up one hell of fight kicking and screaming the whole time. "SHE LOVED YOU YOU ASS, GOD KNOWS WHY BUT SHE DID AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY HER. YOU'RE A SORRY EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING KENNY. AND AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED KENNY YOU CAN DROP THE FUCK DEAD CUZ LORD KNOWS IT COULDN'T BE TOO SOON FOR ANY OF US." John walked her to the other side of the parking lot to calm her down but the screams of Lana could be clearly heard by everyone. "JUST LEAVE KENNY. LEAVE NOW AND DON'T EVER SHOW YOUR PATHETIC FACE AROUND ANY OF US AGAIN."
