Lita woke up to the sound of rain pounding on the pavement. She looked at the clock and it was 7:37am. Lita sighed and she rolled on her back and stared blankly at the ceiling. She remembered last nights convocation that she had with Jeff…well Jeff talking and Lita listening or telling him to change the subject.
Flashback
"I'll be right back babe" Lita said to Edge as she went to find her cell. Without looking at her cell, she opened it and put it to her ear
"How could you!" the voice on the other line spat out
"Jeff!" Lita said wide eyed
"Matt told me… I'm not getting involved but why?" Jeff asked
"Look, Jeff you have to understand…"
"Understand what! You cheated on my brother with his best friend" Jeff yelled
"Matt was never there for me" Lita said
"So, you couldn't share any of that with me? You couldn't tell your best friend how you were feeling?" Jeff said sounding hurt
"Jeffy, I..You have to listen to me" Lita started stumbling over her words
"I've been listening to you for the last 6 years! But now, suddenly you don't tell me stuff. What were you thinking!" Jeff said
"I was thinking that Matt was never there anymore" Lita pleaded for Jeff to listen to her
"Matt was out with a knee injury!" Jeff yelled
"I know, I know" Lita said
"No, you don't because you didn't think that you would get caught. Do you know what this does to us! You have not only changed Matt's life forever but mine as well. Li, he is my brother and I have to stick with that. If he cheated on you, I would have been on your side!" Jeff whispered softly in the phone.
Realising that their relationship would never be the same again
"Jeff wait!" Lita pleaded
"Bye Li" Jeff said
Lita heard a beeping sound and she hung up her phone. Lita sighed and she ran a hand through her hair
End Flashback
Lita closed her eyes tight and then she opened them again, she hated remembering that day. That day, her whole life changed
Lita pulled the covers off her and she went and she sat out on the balcony, watching the rain
Flashback
Jeff and Lita sat down near the pond on the Hardy property. They were just talking about stuff as they always did. Matt was getting ready to take Lita out to dinner
"Where is he taking you?" Jeff asked
"I have no idea" Lita said
"Hmm okay" Jeff said
Just then Matt came down to the pond and he looked pretty angry
"Who the hell put my good shirt in the dryer! It's as small as…well it's small" Matt said
Lita was about to open her mouth and admit that it was her when she was stopped by another voice
"That was me, I must have done it on the road" Jeff said
Lita looked oddly at Jeff and he looked at her. He knew that she did it but why ruin her night over that
"Well why! Are you stupid!" Matt said
Matt had a habit of putting down people when he really didn't mean too
"It was a mistake" Jeff said
"Well you are buying me a new one" Matt said
"That's fine" Jeff said
Jeff stood and he reached in his pocket and handed Matt some money and patted him on the shoulder and Jeff began to walk up
"Jeff" Lita said
Jeff turned around and winked at Lita and then he kept walking off
End Flashback
Lita smiled and she heard the door open and she looked back and Jeff came out
"Hey" Lita said
"Why are you in the cold?" Jeff asked
"It's not that cold" Lita said
Jeff gave her a look and sarcastically nodded and Lita smiled
"You're crazy then" Jeff said and he leaned against the glass doors
Lita slightly smiled and looked back out to the rain
"What are you thinking about?" Jeff asked
"Nothing" Lita lied
"No, that's a lie. I know that look on your face… your thinking about something important" Jeff said
Lita looked at Jeff
"Li, we knew each other for 6 years. I know mostly everything about you" Jeff stated proudly
Jeff's phone rang and Jeff looked through the doors and looked at his phone on the bench
Jeff walked inside and he closed the door behind him and he looked at the caller I.D but he still opened it
"Hey" Jeff said
"Hey Bro, how would you feel about moving to Smackdown!" Matt asked
"That would be cool but I can't. I am back on Raw so I can get even with Edge…and besides Lita is going through a hard time with Edge at the moment." Jeff said
"So what! She deserves it!" Matt said
"No, she doesn't" Jeff said
"Look, we could start up the Hardy Boyz again" Matt said
Lita looked on from the outside and she could hear Jeff arguing with Matt. Lita could also tell that they were arguing about her.
Lita's P.O.V
Poor Jeff, I know he's sticking up for me and I know that I don't deserve that. I made a mistake, ME and NOT Jeff! Jeff shouldn't pay for what I did. I'm kidding myself for thinking that Jeff and I could ever team up again. All I will do is drag him down, and that is the last thing I want for him
Jeff came back out to the balcony and he sighed and he leaned up against the wall. Jeff looked back to her and she looked away as soon as they made eye contact
"I don't think that teaming up is such a good idea anymore" Lita said
"What! I think it's a great idea. I don't care what Matt or anyone else says Li" Jeff said
"I don't care what they say. As long as you can get your career back on track, I'm happy"
Lita shook her head, still avoiding his eyes
"You don't understand" Lita said
With that, Jeff pushed off the door
"You're right; I don't understand why you don't want to do this! It's a risk but it will pay off and besides risks are what we are all about. You used to be up for anything, what happened?" Jeff said
"I grew up…maybe you should to" Lita said
Jeff could not believe what he was hearing
Jeff opened his mouth to speak but Lita cut him off
"Edge and I haven't even broken up" Lita said
"You don't have to break up with Edge to be in a team with me" Jeff said desperately
"Edge hates you and he would be mad" Lita said
"So what! You have other people. People who would support you and what you want to do" Jeff said
Lita stood up and looked at him
"Just because you are back, does not mean that I will change! You can't expect me to team up with you again!" Lita yelled
"Your right Lita, I never expected you to change because until now I hoped that you hadn't turned into everything that you once hated! I was wrong to even think of having you as a team mate again!" Jeff yelled back, twice as loud
Despite it being Jeff's room, he grabbed a shirt and he walked out of the room. He figured that she had no where to go at the moment so he just walked out. That's how much he cared about her and she knew it
Lita was angry at Jeff but she felt really bad for him and she knew that she should have told him the real reason for not wanting to team with him instead of driving him away like she had done 3 years ago
What will happen to Jeff while he is gone? Will Lita tell him the truth about teaming up again! You will see in the next chapter
