Disclaimer: I don't own any of the wrestlers used in this story, 'cause if I did, I'd be busy with them right now *grin*. But I do own Jami, for she is me. Tasha owns herself. (Heaven help the person who tries to claim he/she owns either of us). This is the sequel to "Take That Step" and "One Step Back" you'll find the addresses to those stories in my signature at the bottom of this email. And I use the wrestlers wrestling names in the story, JUST DEAL WIT IT! And don't bother suing me...all you'd get is a half eaten ham sandwich and a bag of chips from 2 years ago.
Distribution: Ask me if you can use it, more than likely I will say yes.
Rating: So far, it's a PG-13
Content: Nothing bad as of yet, probably won't be anything to bad either....maybe some cussing.
Spoilers: Um...anything can happen and I'm just writing as I go, so I don't know yet *L*.
Summary: It's Time for Tasha to lay it all on the line.
Feedback: I need feedback like I need air! So give it to me, babee!

Tasha stood watching Edge as he lay motionless on the bed inside the ICU. He looked wax-like, like he wasn't even there. His skin was beginning to grow pale. Tasha reached out and touched his hand. She was suprised that his hand was still warm when he looked so cold laying there on the bed.
"Hey Edge, hun, it's Tash. Aren't you going to open your eyes for me?" she asked. Tasha felt someone step up next to her and that person laid a hand on her shoulder. Tasha turned and saw Dr. Lesion smiling kindly at her. "Good Afternoon." he said.
Tasha turned back to look at Edge. "Good afternoon doctor. How is he doing?" she asked. "Well, the swelling around his brain has begun to decrease. Which is what we were hoping for. We are confident that if he wakes up, he'll fully recover." the doctor smiled.
Tasha nodded. "Great...good...wonderful." The doctor patted her shoulder before leaving. Tasha sat on the edge of the bed and watched Edge's heart monitor as it seemed to mock her.

Lita wrapped an arm around Tasha's shoulders. "Tasha, hun, you've been in here for 2 hours. Maybe you should come out to the waiting room with Jami and me." Lita suggested. "Oh, yeah, I guess I should. Just give me a few more minutes, okay?" Tasha asked her friend. Lita smiled at her and left her alone in the room.
Tasha leaned down so her mouth was next to Edge's ear. "Edge...you promised me. Do you remember that? I told you that I was afraid to feel pain like I felt when Austin died. You told me that you'd do everything in your power to make sure I never felt that kind of pain again. But if you don't wake up, I'm going to feel that pain all over again. All you have to do is wake up and smile up at me. You have to wake up!" Tasha whispered to him.
She straightened up and watched his face for any sign that he could hear her. His face remained cold and motionless. his eyelids didn't even twitch. She walked down the long corridor back to the waiting room, brushing her fingers along the wall as she walked.
When she entered the waiting room she felt Jami and Lita's eyes upon her. "I'm okay." she told them before they could ask. A nurse stepped in behind Tasha. "Ladies, the doctor wants you to follow me please." she told them stiffly.
