Ok, I wanted to write about Lightning and Sally getting into a fight, so here it is… (It also has something to do with what happened in chapter 4 of An Unexpected Past.) See if you can guess it!
::::::Let Go::::::
It was just another normal day at Flo's, everyone talking amongst themselves. Lightning and Sally were sitting up at front, planning for their upcoming wedding. Mater was cracking jokes to Ramone, Filmore, and Sarge. Lizzy was saying something to Flo, and Sheriff was telling Doc about some high-speed chase he had encountered a few weeks ago. Everybody was just minding their own business, when a sudden outburst from the front of the room caught everyone's attention.
"If it was going to be this difficult, maybe I shouldn't have even proposed to you…" Lightning said, sighing in frustration.
"If you feel that way, why are we even getting married?!" Sally cried angrily.
"I don't know, it's not my fault you're so freaking picky!" Lightning said, standing up.
"Me? Picky? Excuse me while I laugh… HA!" Sally shouted in his face.
"I don't know what I ever saw in you!" Lightning shouted back.
"Fine, then! This wedding's OFF!" Sally screeched, jumping up, and angrily walking out the door.
"FINE!!! Leave!!! I don't care!" Lightning screamed back, his voice cracking on the last word.
He glared angrily at the door, his arms crossed, before he realized that everyone had witnessed their fight. He slowly uncrossed his arms, and jammed his hands in his pockets. He glanced back at everyone, and walked outside, kicking the door angrily in the process.
Doc saw the hurt look on his face, and the tears in his eyes. It took him a minute to comprehend what had just happened. When Lightning left, nobody said anything. Doc looked around the room, and saw that everyone was just as surprised as he was.
"Maybe you should go talk to him, Doc." Flo said finally. "And I'll go calm Sally down."
Doc nodded, and made his way to the door. As he stepped out into the cool, night air, he heard someone sniffle from the other side of the building.
Lightning couldn't believe what had just happened… Everything was going fine, until he made one wrong move, and screwed it all up. He plopped down on the cold cement, his back against the side of the building, and rested his elbows on his knees. He felt tears threatening to fall from his eyes. He let them fall, and just sat there, wondering why he had been so stupid.
He heard someone coming, and quickly wiped away the tears. He didn't even look up, as they came and sat down beside him. He just stared at the ground, his tears still stinging his eyes.
"You ok?" The person asked.
"I'm fine, Doc." Lightning muttered, recognizing the voice.
"No you're not, you're upset." Doc stated, putting his arm around his shoulder.
Lightning just sighed, wiping away the fresh tears that had fallen down his face. Doc tightened his grip around Lightning's shoulder, watching him intently. They fell silent, Doc trying to reassure Lightning.
"You really do care… Don't you?" Doc asked, breaking the silence.
Lightning looked up at him for the first time, and nodded quietly. He looked back to the ground, blinking away the last of the tears.
"We can talk about it, if you want to." Doc said, smiling reassuringly.
Lightning stayed silent, just staring solemnly at the ground.
"I blew it." He said whispered, finally.
"What exactly happened?" Doc asked.
"I don't know." Lightning replied, sighing. "It was just a stupid argument that got out of hand. I said things that I didn't mean, and threw our relationship out the door…"
Wow, those would make great lyrics for a song for Sally… Lightning thought. Too Bad she hates my guts. He added sadly.
"Look, kid, the first fight is always the hardest. I'm sure you guys will make up, and the wedding will be back on in no time." Doc said reassuringly.
Lightning didn't say anything. He just stared at the ground, a look of doubt on his already tear-stained face.
Doc smiled. "Let's go see if Sally's ok."
Lightning nodded, got up, and followed Doc to his car.
They drove in silence to the Cozy Cone Motel. When they got there, Doc told Lightning to wait outside, and walked inside Sally's room.
He stepped in, to see that no one was in the living room, or the kitchen. He walked around, and heard a noise coming from the bathroom. He walked over to the door, and knocked.
"Hello? Is anyone in here?"
"Doc?" Doc could hear Flo from the other side. She opened the door, and he could see Sally on the floor, head leaned over the toilet. She gagged, and threw up in the bowl.
"What's wrong with Sally? Doc asked, immediately coming to her side.
"I don't know." Flo replied. "She suddenly just got very sick!"
Lightning couldn't hear anything. He barely recognized the words, "Sally" and "sick".
Is Sally sick? He thought worriedly.
He peeked through the window, just in time to see Sally getting sick in the bathroom. He saw Doc holding her hair, and saying something to Flo. Lightning opened the front door a crack, and heard a little of what Doc was saying.
"I think she might need someone to comfort her." He said.
"Do you want me to get Lightning?" Flo asked.
"NO!!!" Sally screamed, crying into the toilet. "I DON'T EVER WANT TO SEE HIM AGAIN!!! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM!" She threw up again, and started crying even harder.
Doc looked at Flo, and Flo just shook her head sadly. Doc walked over to the door, and stepped outside. Lightning was standing with his back against the wall, his arms crossed.
"Sally said hi." Doc said, sighing.
"Yea… I heard her." Lightning said, scowling a little. "Look, I think I'm just going to go to bed."
"But it's only 7:30." Doc said, looking at his watch.
Lightning stuffed his hands in his pockets, turning around in the process. "I have some thinking to do." He said quietly. He took one last look at Sally through her window, and lowered his gaze, starting across the empty parking lot.
"Lightning, wait." Doc said, following him.
Lightning turned around, sighing. "What?"
"I'm sure she didn't mean it." Doc said reassuringly.
Lightning just shook his head. "No, Doc…she did."
He turned back around, but Doc stopped him, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Boy, just think about it. Think of something that'll make her love you again. She'll come around." Doc said firmly.
Lightning looked up at Doc, and sighed again.
"Face it. Our relationship is in the toilet, just like Sally's puke." He said, frowning.
Doc took his hand off of Lightning's shoulder, and looked into his eyes.
"Look, just try to think of something to do, to make her forgive you, ok? It'll work. You'll see."
Lightning glanced over at Sally's room, then back at Doc. He sighed, giving him a small smile. He would try anything to be back with her… "Ok, I'll try."
Yay!!! I luvz sequels!!! Have any ideas to what's wrong with Sally, that has to do with chappie 4 of An Unexpected Past yet? I know, I know Lmqcrazii. I need to finish Cars 3: Born Racer, and I know, I need to stop saying I'm going to, when I always push it aside… I'm going to try and actually write something this week, so chillax people! Lol, maybe I should just shut up now…
