So I see my story was added to the story alert of a few members so I took that as a sign to continue. Here's the next few chapters. Enjoy!
CHAPTER FOUR
It was late afternoon as McQueen made his way to the restored Wheel Well. After storming out on Sally he'd been out to Willy's Butte to practice with Doc. Racing helped clear his mind and allowed him to cool down from their fights. He felt awful that they ever fought. He often dreamt of those first few days, when they fell into love. Everything was so carefree back then. Maybe it would be again, they were only enduring a rough patch with the Piston Cup fast approaching and stress mounting.
He finally reached the Wheel Well and called over one of the employees. "Megan! Is Sally here?"
"Sorry Lightning, she hasn't came by here at all today," she replied.
That's strange...she always checks the motel around this time. She isn't that mad at me is she?"he thought worriedly before speeding off for town.
Meanwhile, Sally sat at Flo's sipping gasoline. Justin's words had even taken the sweetness out of her favourite drink. She stopped sipping and went back to indulging in her self-pity. She wanted so badly to tell someone about what happened. She gazed around the town. There were so many people she could confide in, like Flo, or Doc, even Red. Flo would give her advice, like the older sister she never had. Doc was the wisest car she knew; she trusted her life with him; let alone her secrets. Or Red, he would hear her out and for obvious reasons, never say a word.
She began considering the idea to tell one of them. Then she realized something. Nobody here really talked about their past outside of Radiator Springs. Of course they all knew about Doc, but before that no one ever asked. Radiator Springs was like that; a safe haven. An unspoken policy surrounded the town: don't ask, don't tell.
"Sally are you OK?"
"Everything's fine," she said.
"Well, could I talk to you alone?"
"Yeah sure, let's go."
They made their way to the drive-in. It was still daylight and the place was empty. They headed for the corner of the lot and parked side by side in the shade. McQueen gazed at Sally, he knew she wasn't happy.
"Sally, I know something is wrong, and it's probably my fault," he said quietly.
She bit her lip nervously, "Don't say that Stickers. Nothing is wrong unless you believe it is."
"I believe, and I think you do too," he answered.
She closed her eyes and drew a deep breathe. Of all the people she could tell, McQueen was the one she HAD to tell.
"You know how sometimes you need to tell someone something but you just can't find the strength? I feel like that..." she explained.
"Then why don't you tell me?"
"I want to, I just can't yet. I promise I will though. I just need more time to think. Now what did you want to talk about?"
"I needed to apologize about this morning. I'm sorry, I was being really irrational," he replied.
"No! You were right, I was being so unsupportive."
"OK! OK! We both apologize! So...you're still my date tomorrow for cruisin' night?" he asked.
Sally smiled, "Every time."
Her answer made his heart swell with happiness. He nuzzled against her, Sally, baby, now if you would just tell me you'd be mine forever and ever.
LOL yay for sappy Lightning and Sally love! Now click review and then read on to the next chapter! :D
