Note: If you've read my other stories, you may notice a recurrence of names. I like using my first and middle names in my stories. That away I really get a feel for my writing. Like the others this is a fictional story. It also takes awhile to get to the "good parts" in this story, please bare with me. I also appreciate comments.

I slowly awoke and found my left arm was completely numb. The sleep slowly cleared and I found the reason I couldn't feel my arm…someone was sleeping on it. Lita lay soundlessly asleep with her back to me. Even though I was slightly annoyed that she didn't listen to me, deep down I was glad that she slept with me on the couch. I ran my free hand lightly through her hair; Lita shuddered a little bit. I leaned down and gently bit her ear. That got her attention. Lita looked over her shoulder and smiled at me.
"Morning." I said.
"Morning." She answered back. Her usually sweet face suddenly got serious, "So now are you going to tell me what's wrong?"
I sighed and nodded. "Yes, I'll tell you." She sat up, wrapped the blanket around us and snuggled up against me.
"It all started back in middle school. I was dating one of the prettiest girls in school even though I was a total geek. Well, one day we went to this Valentine's Day Dance and she dumped me at the door, never giving me an explanation." Lita sort of gasped and pulled me close to her. "Anyway, after that I pretty much died on the inside, feelings wise that is. I don't display emotion well, just like I did back before our first meeting."
Lita smiled, remembering our first night together.
"Unfortunately, the emotions are still there and they build up until I just flood emotions, like last night at the arena. Most of the times I can't even control my actions, I just run on pure emotion. My geekier side was rather submissive when it came to confrontations."
"So that's why you were acting the way you were acting." Lita exclaimed. I just nodded and my eyes filled up with tears, but being emotionally spent, they stayed where they were. Lita pulled me even closer to her, pushing my head down into that area where the shoulder turns upwards into the neck, I gave her a soft kiss there and nibbled a little bit of the area.
"I'm so sorry." Lita said. "I had no idea."
I just shrugged, "It's alright. I've dealt with it myself for years and I'll deal with it for years to come."
She pulled my head away from her neck, hands on each side of my face, and said, "Not anymore. I'm here for you. Anytime you need help I'll be there. Wherever you go, I'll be next to you." She pulled me to her and gave me a big hug. "And tonight, I'm gonna give you a couple of surprises to try and ease your mind."
"Anyway," I said, "we need to get going. We need to prepare for the show and I really need to talk to Vince."
Sometime later we arrived at the arena in the great state of Indiana. As soon as I got inside of the arena I went to Vince immediately where he delivered the news that I was hoping for.
That night The Undertaker won a title shot against me at Backlash. Earlier in the night the Hardy's and I had a match against Chris Jericho, Booker T, and Goldust. Well, to say the least the Hardy's and me lost, we were all struck down with repeated blows from a steel chair. After the match, Lita made her way into the ring but instead of going to Matt, she came to me to check up and make sure that I was fine. Lita helped me up and Matt spun her around and started to ask her what the hell she was doing. She turned back to me, Matt was now yelling at her. Finally, Lita spun around and slapped the shit out of Matt. Lita turned around to help me again and Matt grabbed her by the hair and spun her around setting her up for the Twist of Fate, his back was to me, and Jeff was still down.
I picked up the chair and cracked Matt over the head. He reeled from the attack. Lita and me headed up the ramp. When we were both at the top, Matt said the magic words, "Go on. Take Lita, she's nothing but a whore." That was it. Against Lita's warnings and even though it wasn't planned, I ran back down to the ring. Matt and Jeff both attacked me, but I was able to fight them off and throw Jeff out of the ring to the mats with some real force. I picked Matt up to Powerbomb him, but Lita told me to stop. Lita jumped up to the top rope and hit him with a Litacurrana and as she spun around, I took both of them with me. As Lita finished her move, I hit Matt with the Powerbomb.
Jeff hit me hard in the back and I dropped to one knee, then he hit me in the back of the head with a chair and I fell to the canvas. Jeff jumped up on the top rope and went for the Swanton Bomb and nailed it, I felt a sharp pain as he landed on my ribs. Jeff stood up and Lita hit him in the back of the head with a chair. She then helped me out of the ring and back up the ramp.
"Wayne!" Matt yelled. "This isn't over. Tonight we challenge you to a handicap match." I just nodded and the crowd went nuts. Back in the back I talked to some of the wrestlers The Rock, Kurt Angle, Edge, Tazz, and Buh-Buh Ray Dudley to get there opinions on what happened. Before my match though I had to get my ribs taped up a little because they hurt like hell.
