1.1.1 Saved By Love
Lita's POV
Lita let out a frustrating sigh and slammed the cabinet door shut. It didn't matter how much noise she made now that He was gone. She looked at her reflection in the mirror wondering if she could go without a Band-Aid. Her lip was bleeding and she had a cut above her head from where He had pushed her into the edge of the table. Looking more closely she discovered that she would have a black eye. She decided that she would have to get Band-Aids, she would need them anyway, no doubt, sooner or later. She knew He was probably out getting drunk now, or on his way to a bar. He had stopped apologizing long before, now just leaving after beating her. She would have left him long before, but for fear of losing popularity without him, she stayed. Essa had told her time and again that he was carrying her, and after hearing it millions of times, she believed him, so stayed.
She was pulled out of her thoughts by the phone ringing. Covering the cut on her forehead with a washcloth, she went into the living room to answer it. "Hello?" She asked into the phone. "Hey Lita, how's it going?" A familiar voice answered. "Hi Chyna, I'm good, how about you" She asked back, sitting down on the couch. "I'm great, I'm calling to ask if you want to come along with Hunter and me to dinner, to celebrate gettin his belt back." She said. Lita hesitated, Chyna knew about Essa, walking in one time on them and although she hated Essa and told Lita time and again that she should leave him, she had been a wonderful friend to her. "I don't know Chyna, I'm not really in the mood." She replied, knowing she didn't have to explain any further. Chyna didn't reply right away and Lita heard her moving into another room, away from Hunter so she could talk, Lita guessed.
"Lita did he hit you again?" Chyna asked getting right to the point. Lita took in a breath and let it out slowly. "Yeah, he did..." She answered sadly. "I don't know why you let him do that to you, one of these days he's going to seriously hurt you." Chyna started. "I know... but what can I do? If I leave him, I'm out of the WWF." Lita replied. "No you're not and you know it, you're better than him, everyone knows that." Chyna told her. "Maybe you're right, but It's just...he's the only family I have." Lita said. "I know" Chyna replied, and she did understand, they had this conversation many times before.
They sat in silence for a few minutes, each lost in their own thoughts, before Chyna broke it. "Well, it looks as if this is just what you need to cheer up, come out with us, please?" Lita thought about it for a minute. "I don't want to bring anyone down." She said. "You won't bring us down, we'll bring you up, come on, Matt'll be there..." Chyna told her teasingly. Lita had to smile, Chyna was the only one who knew about her secret crush on Matt. "Well, maybe I could come for a little while." Lita said smiling and Chyna laughed. "I knew you'd see it my way." She said. "Okay, Hunter and me will come by and get you around six, then we'll go and meet Matt and Jeff and Applebees. Sound good?" She asked.
Lita removed the washcloth and looked at it, it was covered in blood, but it looked as if her head had stopped bleeding, as did her lip. "What about my cuts? Won't they ask what happen?" Lita asked. Chyna thought for a minute before answering. "I'll come over and we can get ready together, okay?" She asked and Lita was so grateful. "Thanks Chyna, you've been such a great friend to me." Lita said. "You're welcome Lita, I'm glad I can help." She paused for a minute before continuing. "You know I'm an only child, I like to think of you as a little sister." Chyna confessed. Before Lita could reply, Chyna quickly said she'd be over as soon as she got her stuff together and she hung up.
Lita hung up the phone and sat there for a few minutes, collecting her thoughts. Then she got up and jumped into the shower before Chyna got there. While in the shower she thought about where Essa was and if there was any chance she would run into him. She knew if he was drunk that he'd make a scene and she didn't want that in front of her friends. He might even try to hit her if he was hammered enough. Not like that was a problem, she thought smiling, if he did try anything she would be in the best company. Chyna already told her that if Essa tried to hit her while Chyna was in the room or anywhere near by no one would be able to stop her.
Lita quickly got dried off and threw on a long shirt. She was towel drying her hair when there was a knock at the door. Checking first to see that it was Chyna she opened the door. "Oh man Lita your eye looks bad." Chyna told her dropping her bag on the floor. "It doesn't hurt" Lita replied as Chyna lightly touched her bruise. She sighed picking up her bag and made her way into the bathroom. "Well, the first thing we'll do is cover that up." She said and started taking out various makeup items. "Sit down there" She instructed and Lita did.
"There, that looks a lot better, have a look." Chyna said when she was finished. Lita looked at her reflection in the mirror and she was amazed at what she saw. She couldn't even tell she had any scratches anywhere. "It's amazing, thanks again Chyna." She said. "Now on to wardrobe, we don't have that much time until Hunter gets here and we're going to knock their socks off." Chyna said making them both laugh.
When Hunter came they weren't ready yet so the girls sent him ahead saying they'd meet him there when they were ready. By the time they were almost out the door it had been a half hour. "Don't worry, when they get a look at us, they won't even notice we're late" Chyna said laughingly and Lita had to agree. Chyna had done a wonderful job fixing them up. She had curled both of their hair and done their makeup almost the same, Lita having a little more to cover up her bruises. Chyna wore a spaghetti strap black dress that came down to above her knees, Lita wore a similar red dress, also coming down to just above her knees. She was hesitant to wearing a spaghetti strap dress thinking her tattoo would look bad but oddly enough it fit in perfectly.
Just when they were out the door Chyna's cell phone rang. "If this is Vince, I'm just not going to answer it." She said looking at the caller ID. "Oh it's Hunter." She said hitting the talk button. "What's up babe?" She said into the phone. The phone was so loud Lita could hear both ends of the conversation. "Change of plan's hun, this place is to crowded, where just going to go to a bar down the street from here." She heard Hunter say and froze. Chyna looked worriedly at Lita, having asked her before where Essa was. "Are you sure you want to go to a bar, we can just find somewhere else to eat." Chyna said into the phone. "Well actually we were thinking of going to Duffy's, it's a bar and a restaurant." He answered and Lita visibly relaxed, nodding. "Okay sounds great, we'll meet you there." Chyna said. "Got it, love you" he said back. "Love you to, bye." She answered and hit the end button. "You sure he won't be there?" Chyna asked her as they made their way to the elevator. "Positive, he only goes to bars." She answered. "All right then, prepare to knock Matt right out of his seat." Chyna said and Lita smiled.
