I'd like to do a teeny advertisement for Speedystar95: She has created several Lightning/Sally YouTube videos, set to music. Please go and check them out. Specifically her newest one, 'Angel- Lightning/Sally'.
It is beautiful.

Chapter 14- Lightning is his given name.

Sally had been sitting in that quiet hospital room for about twenty minutes, holding her fiancè's hand. The room was painted white. The curtains on the two windows were also white, and they were open, letting the colors of the sunset stream in. Sally shifted uncomfortably. The jacket she was wearing was itchy. This room was too cold. It was a strange combination of scratchy and chilly. Sally felt a slight pressure on her hand. She, surprised, looked down to see Lightning's hand squeezing her own.
" Lightning?" She said softly, running a hand through his unruly, red hair. " Lightning?" She said again, slightly louder.
His eyes began to open. He looked around, confused and trying to regain his memory.
Then his eyes focused on her. " S-Sally?" He whispered in a hoarse voice.
She smiled back. " Hey, Stickers. How are you feeling?"
Lightning groaned. " Like I got hit by a truck. What happened?"
" You were in a wreck. Steven was responsible, but they're saying that it wasn't intentional, and they're not fining him."
Lightning sighed. " Go figure." He murmured, then he noticed Sally's bandaged arm. " What happened to your arm, Baby? Was that where he pushed you into the car?"
Sally nodded. " I'm alright though."
Lightning shook his head, and an enraged look came over him. " It is not alright! No one who hurts you should be able to get away with it like that!" The beeping on the moniter sped with Lightning's heart rate.
" Stickers, calm down." Sally said firmly. " It doesn't hurt anymore, it should heal quickly, and I want you to hurry and get well. You can't do that if you get all worked up, now can you?"
Lightning sighed and leaned back against the pillows. " I just hate the thought of anyone ever hurting you, sweetheart." He said, taking her hand.
Sally smiled and gave his hand a little squeeze. " I'll be fine. Now why don't you get some rest. It's eight o' clock."
Lightning smiled up at her, lovingly. She was so perfect. He pulled her a little closer, and she smiled, knowing that he was going to try to kiss her. She leaned towards him and their lips touched, just as there was a knock at the door. They looked at each other with a "Are you serious!" Look.
A doctor, probably in his upper forties, entered the room. " Ah! I see you're awake. I'm doctor Johnson." He pulled out a clipboard and an ink pen. " How do you feel, Lightning, and is that you're given name?"
Lightning looked up at Sally before replying. " I feel like I got hit by a truck, and yes, unfortunately, my mother named me after an element." Sally suppressed a laugh.
The doctor scribbled something, then looked back up. " Would you like some painkillers?" He asked.
" I would DIE for some." Lightning said enthusiastically, then noticed Sally's expression. " Um, sorry, wrong term. I'd like some, yes."
Doctor Johnson put away his pen. " Alright. I'll go get those." He left, leaving Lightning and Sally alone again. Lightning looked into Sally's eyes. No matter what emotion she showed, her eyes always would reveal her true feelings. There was sadness in her emerald colored gaze.
" Sal, sweetie, are you okay?" He asked, taking her hand again. " You look like you're about to cry."
Sally took a deep breath and attempted to smile. " I'll be fine." She said, her voice breaking.
Lightning was confused. " What's wrong, Baby?" He asked, trying to figure this out.
A tear slid down Sally's cheek. " I'm just stressed out...and seeing Steven again brought back some bad memories. And now you're hurt, and it's my fault because I was a terrible crew chief."
Lightning wiped the tear off her face. " Sweetheart, don't cry. I won't let Steven lay a hand on you. And I'm going to be fine. Okay? And actually, as far as crew chiefing, you're nearly as good as Doc."
Sally nodded. " Okay." She said In a small voice. The doctor entered the room again, and gave Lightning a handful of pills, which Lightning accepted gratefully.
" Alright." Doctor Johnson said. " If all goes well tonight, you can leave in the morning." He turned to Sally. " Visitors hours end in ten minutes."
Sally looked up in shock. " I can't stay with him?" She asked, nearly in a panic.
He shook his head. " I'm sorry. Hospital policy. But I will have people checking on him all night, and you have absolutely nothing to worry about." Doctor Johnson left the room, closing the door behind him.
Sally looked up at Lightning and he could tell that she was struggling not to cry. " I don't want to leave you." She whispered.
He reached up and stroked her hair. " Sally, you're tired. I want you to go back to your parent's house, and get a good nights sleep."
She nodded and stood up. " Okay. I love you." She said, leaning down. He pulled her close.
" I love you, too." He said, caressing her cheek. Sally leaned towards him and Lightning slightly leaned up, closing the gap between them.

Sally got back to the house late that night, but her parents were still up, waiting for her. They were sitting on the sofa, and when Sally entered the room, they moved a little to make room for her. Her father put an arm around her, and tiredness overcame her. She laid her head on his chest and she slowly drifted off.

She awoke the next morning to see the sun shining into her eyes. She jumped up, scarfed some breakfast, stole David's car again, and drive to the hospital.
Sally walked up to Lightning's room.
He was awake and smiling. " Guess what, Sal?"
She smiled, kissed him briefly, and then asked, " What?"
" They said I can leave." He told her. " And I am ready to get home to Radiator Springs."

Ending sucks, i know.
