It Ends Tonight
Doc didn't know why, but he didn't like Bruce McQueen. Ever since he came into town, Doc didn't like him for some reason.
"Where's my son?" Bruce asked angrily.
"He's coming, he just went out for a little while." Doc snapped back, just as Lightning and Sally walked into the café.
When Lightning saw Bruce, his eyes widened, and he quickly looked from his dad to Doc. Bruce narrowed his eyes at Lightning, and Lightning went over and hugged his neck.
"H-Hey dad. How've you been?" He asked.
"I've been fine, he how about you show me to my room." Bruce suggested, but it sounded more like a command to Doc.
Lightning slowly nodded, and got up. He already knew what was coming. As soon as he got to his dad's door, Bruce roughly shoved him in, and started hitting him. He slapped him across the face, and Lightning cried out in pain. He felt the hot tears slowly rolling down his cheeks, and then felt his feet being lifted off the ground. Bruce had him up by the collar of his shirt. Then, he threw Lightning to the floor, and turned to leave.
"This isn't over." Bruce said menacingly, slamming the door behind him, leaving Lightning sitting, crying in the middle of the floor.
Doc thought that he heard someone yelling, and sure enough, he saw Bruce leaving his room, without Lightning. He knew that something wasn't right about Bruce, but he wasn't exactly sure what. He could only imagine what that brute was doing to that poor child. Of course, Lightning wasn't exactly a child, but still...
Just as Doc was running all these thoughts through his head, Lightning sort of half-limped into the café. The first thing Doc noticed, was a huge bruise on the side of Lightning's face.
"Where'd you get that bruise? You didn't have that a minute ago." Doc asked.
Lightning glanced over at Bruce, then gulped. "I ran into a lamp post, you know how clumsy I am." He replied, not taking his eyes off of Bruce.
Doc just stared at Lightning, and noticed that he wouldn't look him in the face. He would just look at his feet, and glance up every few seconds.
"Well, I want to see you in my office, you know, for a check-up." Doc said.
"But, Doc—" Lightning protested.
"No buts. Office, now." Doc said sternly.
Lightning sighed, and followed Doc out of the café, dreading what was coming next.
Ok, I know what you're thinking. "Why does it have to be humanized?" Because it works that way! Ok? Not to sound mean… Oh, and I'm still working on Cars 3: Born Racer, I'm just a little stuck. Please review! Chapter 2 will be in tomorrow!
