OMG!!! Did anyone watch the 2007 CMT Country Music Awards? It was tonight at 7. They kicked it off with a live performance from Rascal Flatts, and let people vote on which song that they wanted them to play, and they picked Life is a Highway!!! Yay!!!! Ok, now on with the story!!!
Sally couldn't take it. She had been locked in her room ever since that night at Flo's. All she had been doing was listening to her iPod. She had been listening to all her songs, just going down the list, when she came across a song that matched her mood perfectly.

She played the song over and over, and the more she listened, the madder she got. She scowled, and sat up in her bed. She was starting to get bored with that song, so she scrolled down to see what else she could listen to. She stopped on God Bless the Broken Road, and sighed.
"What're you listening to?" Sally asked, as he took off his head phones.
"God Bless The Broken Road." He replied.
"I love that song!" Sally exclaimed.
"Yea, I do too… And it wasn't till now that I realized what it meant."
Sally looked at him for a moment, and he glanced up at her. He handed her one of the earpieces, and they started to listen to the song together.
Lightning hummed to it, and Sally started to hum, too. Just as it got to the last part of the song, Lightning and Sally sang it together…
"And God blessed the broken road, that led me straight to you…"
She laid back down, remembering that wonderful day that he had proposed to her. She felt a tear slide down her cheek, and wondered… Did Lightning still really love her? Was she being right, or should she forgive him?
Lightning was depressed, tired, and hungry. He had been in his room ever since that night Sally had stormed out of Flo's. All he had been doing is listening to his iPod, and laying in his bed, sulking. He was just going through different songs, mouthing the words to them. Sometimes, he would even sing out loud to himself. He was amazed at how much some of the songs matched how he felt. He had one song in particular that he liked to listen to.
I think
I know
I think I'm just a little too slow
my friends
me and you yea
are sick of hearing
cause that's all that they do
cause I can't get you off
can't get you off my mind
oh no
cause I can't get you off
can't get you off my mind
oh no
I think
I see
I think I'm just a little too deep
my problems
they go on
let me tell you
that I'm just hanging on
I don't think I'll ever get over you
cause there'd be nothing left to do
I think
I know
I'm just a little too slow
my friends of me and you
are sick and tired of all that we do
He sang along, and just stared at the ceiling. When the song ended, he continued staring at the ceiling, waiting for the next song. He sighed, as God Bless the Broken Road started playing. He sang along for awhile, but had to stop because he was crying too hard.
Mater sighed as he watched his poor, distressed friend through the window. He and Doc were peeking in at Lightning, to see if he was ok.They heard him singing to himself, then watched as he busted out in tears. It nearly had Mater in tears himself.
"What's with you, Mater?" Doc asked, giving him a side-glance.
"Aww, it ain't nothin' important. Just seein him like that, it makes me feel like someone shoved a cactus down ma throat…"
"I know what you mean…" Doc said, putting a hand on Mater's denim jacket. "Come on, let's go see if Flo has seen about Sally.
Mater smiled, revealing his two buck-teeth, and followed Doc across the parking lot.
They found Flo looking through Sally's window sadly.
"How's she doing?" Doc asked.
"She started crying sometime ago, and still hasn't stopped." Flo replied.
They looked in the window, and sure enough, you could see Sally laying on her bed, staring up at the ceiling, tears trickling down her face.
"Lightning's doing the same." Doc stated grimly.
They continued to watch Sally, when she suddenly jumped up with her hand clamped over her mouth. She ran out of the bedroom, and out of sight.
"She's still sick?" Flo asked.
"It looks like it… Maybe you should talk to her about coming to the clinic sometime today." Doc replied.
"Ok, I will Doc." She agreed.
Doc nodded, and turned to leave, Mater behind him. Flo walked around to go inside the room. She opened the door, and walked inside. She made her way to the bathroom, stopping in the doorway.
"Oh, honey! Are you still sick?" Flo asked, pretending to be surprised.
Sally nodded, clutching her stomach.
"Maybe you should go see Doc." Flo suggested.
Sally nodded again, and let Flo help her up off the floor.
Flo escorted her to the clinic. As they passed Lightning's apartment, Sally gazed at it for a moment, before turning her gaze back to the ground.
Dang, I gotta stop writing so many dramatic stories!!! All the tears, and all the hugs… It's becoming an episode of Full House!!! Lol!!! Those songs were Since U Been Gone, by Kelly Clarkson, and some other song by Evan & Jaron (I honestly forgot the name) But it'll come back to me!!! Hey I found out I'm not the only one at school who likes Cars! It turns out that my BEST FRIEND likes it too. Lol That's funny. Yea, you know how I told you that I just got out for spring break? Well, when the last bell rang on Friday, I yelled out "Freedom!!!!" My best friend laughed, and was like, "What movie is that off of again?" And I seriously forgot that it was even on a movie, let alone Cars! Then she was like, "Oh yeah!!! Cars!" And I was like, "It is?" Then she said, "Yea! That's like my favorite part! It's like, take off the boot thingy, vroooom! FREEDOM!!!!!" Lol, now anytime we see each other, we're like "FREEDOM!!!" (Then we laugh) XD
