Change of Heart

__________________________________________________

{You could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
Instead of slamming down the phone girl
For the hundredth time
I got your number on my wall
But I ain't gonna make that call
When divided we stand baby
United we fall

Got the time got a chance gonna make it
Got my hands on your heart gonna take it
All I know, can't fight this flame

You could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
Cause I'm crazy 'bout you baby
Time after time

Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
Do you have a heart of stone
Without you
Can't stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide

I don't wanna fight no more
I don't know what we're fighting for
When we treat each other baby
Like an act of war
I could tell a million lies
And it would come as no surprise
When the truth is like a stranger
Hits you right between the eyes

There's a time and a place and a reason
And I know I got a love to believe in
All I know got to win this time

You could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
Cause I'm crazy 'bout you baby
Crazy - Crazy

Without you
One night alone
Is like a year without you baby
Do you have a heart of stone

Without you
Can't stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide}

Lita limped ever so slightly as Bradshaw and Faarooq helped her backstage.  She leaned against either man as they each held her by an arm.

"Thank you, guys," the redhead said as they finally made it to the women's locker room.  "I really appreciate you coming out to give me a hand."

"Don't mention it, little lady," said the big Texan at her right.

"Yeah...we knew the Hardys were in no condition to go out there to help you after what Austin did earlier," Faarooq added.

"Oh, no..."  Lita had completely forgotten about Matt and Jeff - which was absolutely ludicrous, especially since Edge was still on her mind.  How could she worry about him and have forgotten about her two best friends?

Quickly, she turned to face the APA.  "Thanks again, guys," she said gratefully, giving them a smile of appreciation.

"Sure, Miss Lita," Bradshaw said.  "And if you ever wanna try your hand at a round or two of poker with us, it'd be our pleasure."  The man grinned at her, and the redhead smirked as she realized he probably assumed she didn't know how to play - and therefore, he'd get all her betting money.

"Okay...I'll keep that in mind."  She turned and entered the locker room, and the two men started down the hall back to their "office."

She noted with relief that the room was empty.  Trish had probably gone back to T&A's locker room, and Ivory was probably with that ridiculous group she'd just joined up with, the Right to Censor.  Chyna, no doubt, was with Eddy, Terri with Perry Saturn, her own boyfriend.  Jacqueline was probably...okay, so she had no clue where Jackie might be, as the African-American diva was usually more or less a loner.  Of course, she used to hang out with Edge and Christian for awhile, and...

Edge... She had to find out if he was all right.  She'd noticed that Stone Cold had not only hit him first, but he'd also hit him the hardest, it had seemed.  Shit!  Didn't the Rattlesnake know he could give a person a concussion that way?

Of course he knows that, the redhead thought as she turned and exited the room.  As she made her way down the hallway, she thought, Then again, Edge and Christian didn't seem to mind doing the exact same thing to poor Jeff with their very first conchairto.  And come to think of it, they originally tried to nail me with that thing!

She continued walking, the annoyance she was suddenly feeling abating as she recalled how adorable Edge had been the previous night - and how sweet he'd been that morning.  It all almost felt as though it had been nothing more than a dream.

"Whoa!" she cried, catching herself just in the nick of time as she turned the corridor.  She'd nearly collided with someone else, and as she straightened up, her breath caught as she saw who it was with whom she'd very nearly had the mishap.

"Edge!  Sorry..." she said, suddenly unable to tear her eyes off the tall blond man.

"Lita..."
