Hudson called out "I'll give you a ride?.. I mean... if you'd rather?" Jessica smiled and answered "Stay right here. I'll be right back." She walked off. Hudson leaned against his car. Once his parents saw it.. he didn't even wanna think about it. He wiped the blood off under his nose and mouth. He sighed. Jessica came back and opened the passenger door. It took a minute. The wreck messed it up. Hudson got in the driver side. He started the car up. Barely. "Your home right?" Jessica nodded. She got her phone out and played on it while Hudson drove her home. It was quiet... Jessica played with the radio a little. Found some bass sounding song.
She turned it down a bit as they both noticed flashing lights behind them.. "Great..." Hudson said. Jessica gave a weird gaze and spoke "Just don't pull over?" Hudson's eyes widened. He was a little shocked and spoke up "Are you kidding me? It's a cop?!" He slowed down. Jessica replied. "So? Nothing proves how good a racer you are than escaping that?" Hudson did not agree with that. Jessica smirked with a smile "Baby." Hudson shook his head. He pulled over and almost stopped but Jessica pushed on his knee for the gas making the car speed up for a moment!
Hudson got ahold of it as the cops sirens went on now. "Go!" Jessica yelled! Hudson looked in the mirror. He glanced at Jessica.. "Go!!?" He shifted the car and gunned it. He didn't even know why he was doing this now! "If we get caught I'm dead!?" Jessica yelled as she put her hand on his thigh.. "Than don't get caught! Trust me. Go left!" He did as she said. They were headed up tailfin pass. Speeding up. Hudson yelled, "We are headed toward my parents!? That's what I don't wanna do right now!?" Jessica answered "Trust me! Just loose the cop. I'll tell you when to turn!" Hudson shifted and swerved back and fourth. He lost his back bumper.. it slowed the cop down. He was afraid. Hudson was panicking a little bit. Between this stupid thrill of running from a police officer and Jessica's hand on his leg... it was intense!
The cop was a ways back, Jessica pointed over Hudson and said "That way! In the caverns!" He turned like she said. They crashed into an old wooden door and they drove into caverns! Jessica spoke up. "Alright we can hide in here..". Hudson slowed down. The car was steaming a little now.. it made a few loud pop sounds.. then stopped completely..the engine cut off...
Hudson took a few heavy breaths.. "Your crazy!?" He said to the girl. Jessica smiled and laughed and replied "Well I wasn't the one driving." She winked. She then got out the car. Hudson was still running on adrenaline now. Jessica looked around the cavern. Hudson got out. His car was dead he was pretty sure. Jessica spoke. "Pop the hood." Hudson did. Jessica leaned over th engine. The steam.. the low lights.. wow she looked good!.. Hudson swollowed. She had a boyfriend.. Jessica said some stuff about the car but Hud wasn't paying attention. Jessica then asked "So? You got a girlfriend?" Hudson stared blank for a moment before he answered. "No. And I choose not to before you joke." He glared. Jessica raised a brow. "Why would you choose not to?" She asked. Hudson looked at the engine next to her and answered her, "I just wanna focus on getting through school so I can get to college and get a sponsorship." Jessica chuckled a bit and replied "You don't have to work for a sponsorship? Just your name will get you one?" Hudson sighed. Jessica raised a brow and asked "You? Don't want people to know your name?" Hudson answered. "It's not that. Just I don't like that people expect things and give me things and treat me different because of my name." Jessica nodded and replied "I don't mind that people do that to me." He figured. Jessica fixed the car. Temporarily. Enough to drive. She shut the hood. "Just don't shut her off til your home and done driving." Hudson nodded. His phone rang.. he looked at it. He sighed. Jessica asked "Parents?..". She faked a smile. He nodded. He put it away. He wouldn't answer it yet. He drove Jessica home.
He pulled his form car up. The car idled roughly. He parked it in the drive way. "Sorry about getting you into trouble." Jessica apologized. Hudson smiled a little bit and replied "I'll be alright. My dad usually isn't so bad.." he lied. Jessica smiled. "Let me give you your jacket." "No, keep it. I got another back home." Jessica's blue eyes were perfect. He smiled at her. Jessica leaned over and kissed the side of his face. Hudson was suprised and his eyes widened. Jessica got out the car and walked up to her house." Hudson watched her go. Storm opens the door and let his daughter in. Cruz hugged her tight. Storm glared at Hudson before shutting the door. Hudson was nervous about that glare.. Hudson left. To his home now. He parked up in the driveway. He shut the car off. He looked at the door.. he was a bit scared.. he swollowed hard and nervously as he watched the door open. Lightning stepped out. Waiting for his son.. Hudson opened his car door.. the door freaked and fell a little.
Hudson saw his mom run out. She saw the car and ran up to Hudson as he got out. She grabbed him and looked at his face. The faded dried blood on his lips and under his nose..
"What happened!" She glanced at the car..she hugged Hudson tight. Hudson pulled his mom away and answered "I'm sorry mom..". Sally asked more questions in an angry tone, "Where were you!?" Hud sighed looking down.. "A race.." he answered. Lightning walked up as Sally asked "What race?" Hudson explained a little bit. "Some friends at school were talking about it. Just some dirt race.. I..i.. I'm sorry I didn't ask..". His parents glanced at each other. Lightning asked "Well... Did you win?" Sally hit his foot with hers. "Ow!?" He yipped. Sally glared kinda rudely. Lightning cleared his throat and said something else then "You shouldn't have done that.. are you okay?" He noticed Hudson was a bit beaten up. And then the car.. the license plate fell off.. Hudson answered "I flipped it.. I'm fine though..". Lightning frowned a bit. Sally harshly scolded, "You're grounded! And don't even think you'll be driving around anywhere for the next two weeks!? Your father and I will drive you to school!" Hudson sighed. Sally continued. "Now get in the house. I'm gonna take a look at you and bandage you up!" She walked back toward the house. Hudson looked up at his father.. Lightning looked upset. Hudson started to walk by. His father stopped him. Grabbing his shoulder. "Keys." Lightning said. Hudson handed his dad the keys. Lightning spoke up, "If you need to talk I'm here..". Hudson nodded as he headed inside. Lightning stared at the car.. he was honestly just handful his son was okay..
Hudson went to his room after his mother checked him out a little. He showered. Then layed on bed. His phone beeped. Just a text..
Jess
Had so much fun tonight! Hope your parents went easy on you!
He sighed.. She then sent another text. It was a picture of her doing a peace sign and her tongue out with a winning expression. She was funny. She looked cute. Her silky black straight hair flowed down. She was laying down in the selfie. Her chest showed a little.. she sent another text.
Jess
Tomorrow during gym you should hang out with me and Rodney in the lunch room.
Hudson thought about it. But he and Rodney didn't get along. Plus.. like tonight proved.. when he was around Jessica.. he got in trouble. Did things he normally wouldn't. A knock on his door startled him. He hid his phone under the pillow. It was Hudson's mother. Sally.
"Mom?"he asked. Sally came over and sat near her son on the bed. She began "I didn't say anything to your dad yet.. but.. was this Jessica again?" Hudson hesitated.. he answered "maybe?.." Sally half smiled and continued "Hudson.. I'm not saying she's a bad kid.. but.. when you hang out with her?.. you do things you shouldn't. You get hurt.." she touched his face and checked his lip and nose.. Hudson pulled away.. Sally frowned and said "I'm glad your okay baby..". She leaned and kissed her sons forehead. She stood up. Hudson spoke "I think I was just trying to impress her..". Sally's eyes widened she answered "There are other ways to impress girls than playing the bad boy?" Hudson thought for a moment before replying. . "I'm sorry mom..". Sally smiled a bit. Then left his room. Hudson looked at his phone again. He wanted to see Jessica again.
School the following day went by. Once it let out. He looked for Jessica a bit. But didn't see her. He waited for his parent. Whichever one was picking him up. He then heard her yelling again. He looked around. He saw Rodney. And Jessica fighting near his truck. Hudson watched from a distance. He saw Jessica stomp off crying. Sally pulled up in a little four door. Hudson has to go.. he got in his moms car. As they started leaving. He noticed Jessica was walking home. Hudson turned to his mom. "Hey, Jessica is walking home.. can't we just give her a ride?" Sally stared at her son. She answered. "She probably walks home a lot Hud." Hudson replied "No. she usually rides with her boyfriend. But he's a real great guy!" He said that sarcastically.. Sally looked in the mirror. Jessica was crying.. Sally frowned. Poor thing.. Sally pulled over and instructed her son, "Go get her." Hudson got out. He ran up to her and spoke. "Hey." Jessica wiped her tears. Pretending she was fine now. "Hey Hudson." She greeted. Hudson pointed out the car "My mom and I will give you a ride?." Jessica looked at the car. She smiled and followed Hudson to the car. His opened the passenger front for Jessica. He sat in the backseats. Sally thought that was cute. Sally greeted Jessica. She really noticed how much she looked like her Father. Sally pulled on. Driving. "Home?" She asked Jessica. Jessica nodded and thanked Sally "Thanks. Sorry. I don't have a car right now..". Sally nodded. It was quiet for a moment. Jessica got out her Phone and texted Hudson.
Jess

Hud
Thanks. What happens with Rodney this time.
Jess
Nothing. Just how I been getting rides from you. He's jealous cause your a mcqueen.
Hud
Oh? .. Did he brake up with you?
Jess
No. But our relationship is more open now. At least to him.
Hud
Oh.. I'm sorry
Jess
Don't be. Means I get to have some fun with someone else a while ;)
Hudson didn't know what to say to that.
Jess
Wanna meet me out tonight? My parents will be getting me my car today. I'll come get you?
Hud
Can't. Grounded.
Jess
So? Just wait til they are asleep. I'll come get you and we can sneak out for a while. I need a good time!
Hud
I don't know... I'm already ina little trouble Jess...
Jess
Well if you're scared! Some son of Lightning McQueen! Wasn't your dad a wild one!
Hud
I'm not scared. I don't wanna be stupid.
Jess
I'll even grab some drinks from my dads bar. We can have some serious fun!
Hudson wasn't sure about that.. he took a deep breath.
His mom noticed. Sally asked looking back in the mirror.
"You Alright Hudson?" Hud looked up. Startled "Yeah.. I'm fine..". He lied. He was nervous. Jessica flipped around and looked at Hudson. He stared at her. Confused whatbshe was going. She looked him up and down best she could in the little car. She winked and sat back down.
She turns toward Sally. "Hey miss Sally?.. My dad has to work on one his cars. Could really use Hudson's help. If you wouldn't mind lending him out a bit?" Sally shook her head and answered. "Yeah.. no. He's grounded. I know about yesterday Jessica. You're lucky if I don't tell your dad." Jessica answered with a weird look, "My dad already knew? He didn't care? He thinks it'd be good for me to race around." Sally's eyes widened. Kinda shocked Storm was okay with that?! Sally asked "Wait your mom knew to?" No way Cruz was okay with that? Jessica nodded and answered "Yeah? She says it'll build my confidence!" She smiled. Sally was shocked. "Wow.. okay. But still.. Hudson want suppose to do that." Jessica frowned.. "I mean it's be work. My dad would pay him." Sally looked back at her son and asked "Woukd you want to? To work? No playing around. You get done and get back home." Hudson knew Storm didn't need help on any car?.. Bis face turned a little pale.. Jessica just wanted to hang out and.. he was a little nervous about what she wanted. She wanted to drink and?.. mess around he guessed?..
Does Hudson "Help Storm with a car". Jessica just wants a good time..
Or...
Say no thank you. Goes home. No more trouble where it's safe.
