Jackson drove out a few hours away.. He didn't know where he would go.. his anger turned to pain.. to hurt.. he regretted what he said.. what he did.. he wondered if Cruz meant it..
Don't come back.
It echoed in his mind... it hurt.
Jackson drove to a bar. He walked inside and walked to the counter. "Jack and coke please.." he said to the young bartender. Just a young man. The kid made his drink. And handed it to Jackson. Jackson sighed and drank slow. Sipping it. A girl came up. Flirting. He didn't even pay attention to her. He played with the ice in his drink.. The girl layed her hand on his knee. Jackson stared at her. She pulled him up and danced with him a little. Jackson stood there. He was upset. The girl kissed his neck.. kissed his cheek. She kissed Jackson's lips.. Jackson closed his eyes. He let her in.. Jackson grabbed her hips and pulled her closer. Embracing her.
Jackson explored her. But it felt empty. This wasn't right. He pushed her away. "I have to go.." Jackson said kindly to the girl. He walked away and back to his car. He didn't want that.. He drove back out on the highway.
Jackson pulled over on the busy highway. He looked around for his phone.. "Shit.." Jackson mumbled.. he didn't grab it in the fight. Jackson leaned into his leather seat. Watching the cars and trucks drive by fast. Feeling the force from a few big trucks.
It was dark.. Jackson really didn't have anywhere to go..So he drove to one place he really didn't wanna go..
Jackson pulled up and parked. The fountain had been cut off. He stared. Stared at his childhood home.. he sighed as he opened the front doors and went inside the dark empty and quiet home.. Jack left the estate to his son.. along with a bunch of vehicles.. Jackson walked in. His steps echoed. He went down to the basement. His father had all kinds of wine. Jackson just grabbed one. He sat down and drank it from the bottle.. staring into the dark.. Jackson thought about how badly he messed up this time.. he drank more. Jackson walked up and around the house. Looking at the memories. Most of them hurt badly.. But it did feel better sense forgiving his father. Sense they made up.. even if it came later than it should have. Jackson walked into his fathers office. Still a bottle in his hands. He sat down into the chair. Spun it around once. Looking at all the books and papers. The photo.. Jackson put the bottle down and grabbed the photo. His mother. He stared at it.. "You would love the girls mom..". He said to the photo. Jackson went to sit back down but the seat wasn't where he was sitting and he fell grabbing the bookshelf down with him. It fell half way. A bunch of books falling and hitting him.. Jackson put his hands up blocking it. They seemed to stop. Jackson slowly looked at the shelf. He saw a gold statue of what looked like a woman fall toward him and BAM! He fell down. Laying there. He closed his eyes..
Jackson woke up shortly. To the sound of a loud thunderstorm. He was dazed. Felt funny. Wobbly. He staggard up. He stumbled as he walked out to the door. He opened it up. The wind. The rain. The thunder roared. Jackson let the rain hit his face.. "I gotta make this right.." he said. But he was drunk. He was hit hard in the head. He stumbled down the stairs to his car. The rain hitting him. Thunder rolled. Jackson got into his car and shut the door. The dark made it hard to see. The rain distorted it worse. He started the car. Headlights on. He backed out. And started to drive off. Back to Cruz. Jackson drove. Swerving a bit. He didn't care. His head was pounding. He slowly woke up more and more. The dark made it hard to see. He was on a back road to the highway. Jackson just wanted to make things right. He swerved a bit. Jackson took one his hand and rubbed his eyes. Closing them for only a second. He looked back at the road and seen headlights and a horn blared! Jackson's eyes opened wide as he swerved to miss the coming car! He hit the rail. But it was messed up and damaged. His car hit the rail side ways and flew into the air. It hit on its side and flipped to its roof hard. Smashing the hood. The car slid and scraped against the pavement to a stop. Upside down. Jackson groaned in pain. Glass everywhere. He felt light headed. Heavy eyes.. his vision fading in and out. He closed his eyes... his heart pounded heavy.. he felt like giving up.. he felt sleepy.
Jackson felt like he was laying on the most comfortable bed he ever laid in. He felt truly relaxed. He felt someone brush his hair.. Jackson opened his eyes as he mumbled "Cruz?..". But it wasn't. "Mom?.." he asked. Staring at her. She had tears in her eyes. Jackson sat up. Severely confused. Amy, his mother.. put her hand on Jackson's face gently and leaned to his face and whispered into his ear "Get out..". She leaned away and looked at him. Jackson reached for her "Wait? What?!" He yelled. Amy kissed his fore head and said it again "Get out Jackson!" Jackson didn't understand. He took his hands and rubbed his eyes.
He opened them up. He looked around. Jackson was buckled in his car turned upside down. He groaned a bit. Jackson tried to get free. The seat belt was stuck. He growled at it. The rain was loud. He was in pain. He looked around the car. Then he saw headlight coming fast. He heard brakes hit hard and squealing the wet pavement. The car couldn't stop in time. "Shit!" He yelled! Trying to get the seat belt loose! He grunted and growled breathing rapidly. He fell as it let him free finally. The headlight closer. Jackson began to pull himself out the car quick. Ignoring his pain in his legs and chest! He grunted and strained as he pulled up half way out then slipped on the wet metal. "COME ON!" He yelled to himself. The man from the car that almost hit him head on grabbed Jackson under his arms and pulled him out the rest of the way! Then the squealing car hit Jackson's turned over car! It spun Jackson's car in circles and tore it in two at the cab!... Jackson stared. Scared. He couldn't believe he just escaped that!.. he breathed rapidly.. The man patted Jacksons shoulder then ran to the vehicle that just tore through Jackson's car. Jackson sat there. Off the side of the road. He pulled his shirt up. Revealing obviously broken ribs from the bruising.. he put his shirt back down. His leg was bleeding at the knee.. "Shit!" He growled. He breathed rapidly. He sat there. He was already tired.. he just closed his eyes. Wondering what Cruz could be doing.. wondering if she was even missing him.. he just wanted to get back to her now..
Cruz wiped her tears and went to lay down in bed.. She didn't completely mean that.. She was just tired of him running away. He needed to stay.. but she said that crap.. Cruz was glad Jessica didn't see this fight.. Cruz grabbed her phone to call Jackson. That's when she realized he left his phone.. now she was even more upset and heart broken.. she had no way to even contact him! What if he never came back!?.. she cried hard.
Cruz headed down to the kitchen. She drank some water. It was to hard to sleep. She was overthinking. Cruz sat down in the living room. Flipping through the channels. She finally just shut the tv back off... she sighed..Cruz headed back up the stairs.. slowly. She tried laying down again. But a bad feeling in her stomach made it impossible to sleep.. she cried again silently.. "I'm sorry Jackson... please come back..." she whispered to herself aloud. But he didn't. It was still dark in the am when she heard a loud knock. She glanced outside seeing the cop car? She ran to the door and opened it. She cried hearing what the cop had to say.. About Jackson in a car accident. Cruz grabbed her keys and drove out fast.
The sun rose up. Hudson woke up and stared at the ceiling. He smiled as he looked over seeing his girlfriend laying next to him. He rolled over top of her and kissed her neck. Jessica opened her eyes and pushed him up and looked at his face. "Well good morning?" She said with a smile. Hudson replied "Morning." He kissed her forehead. Jessica gazed into his eyes and pulled is face to her lips and kiss him passionately. Hudson kissed her neck again. Jessica giggled a bit and pushed him up saying "Come on baby.. not already." Hudson sat beside her and replied "Oh come on. Don't make me beg?" Jessica rolled her eyes and stretched a bit. Hudson looked at his phone. The time. He stood up and spoke up "I gotta get to work. My dad probably has a few words to say to me anyway. Get that over with." Jessica nodded and grabbed the tv remote and turned on the news then went to the bathroom. She washed her face and hands up. Fixed her hair. Hudson called out "Jess get out here?" He sounded funny. Jessica walked out. Hudson pointed to the tv screen. "Doesn't that look like your dads car?" Jessica stared at it and replied answering "Yeah. But my dad is at home. Which I should probably hear back anyway." She turned away. It was a bad wreck. Hudson continued staring at the tv. The head line came on in red at the bottom of the screen and it made him cover his mouth.. he brushed his hair back and called to his girl softly "Jess... come back..". Jessica walked back over. Hudson's upset look made her feel nervous. "I'm gonna call my dad.. we will figure this out..". He said. Which only made her worry. Jessica glanced at the screen. The banner read
"Car accident involving former racing champion Jackson Storm."
Then the dark woman with brown hair in a snazzy suit said into a microphone,
"I'm here on the scene as crew cleans up after a serious accident early this morning involving Former race car driver Jackson Storm. Now you can see here how badly one the vehicles were torn. Police aren't sure if this was due to a drunk driving situation yet or what." Jessica stared. The car was her dads! He grabbed Hudson. Hudson spoke up "Call your mom. I'm gonna take off and we will figure this out Okay?!" Jessica felt scared and numb. "Jessica!?" Hudson yelled. Jessica grabbed her phone. She called her mom. But she didn't answer. Which scared her more. She began to cry. She felt her knees shake and give out. Hudson caught her and held her. He sat down with her on the bed.. letting her fear and tears fall to him.. She tried thinking about the last things she said to her father!.. was this because of her!?
Sky called before long. Both girls were afraid and didn't know much anything about the accident.
Cruz walked into the room slowly. Jackson's eyes widened. "Cruz.. babe I'm." He bagan. But Cruz looked angry. She spoke up harshly "Don't. You.. you know at first yes I was terrified. That I may lose you?! But they told me you were okay. Just.. in the hospital.. and at first I believed that was a second chance!" Jackson stared. He didn't understand what was going on with her now.. her emotions were so mixed he couldn't even read Cruz. Cruz continued "But the drive here gave me time to think. This isn't a second chance? It's like the fiftieth chance!?" Jackson sighed and replied "Cruz.. the things I said i didn't mean half of it. Over that. All of it. It was stupid..". Cruz rolled her eyes and said "Oh please? Look.. your okay and that's good. I couldn't live knowing you were.. if this was worse.. But your fine obviously." Jackson spoke back "Cruz please listen to me. I shouldn't have left okay.. I shouldn't have." "But you did!" Cruz snapped. Jackson stared at his wife... she was angry and hurt.. Cruz continued "I can't do this. Not anymore! I'm glad you're okay. But.. this is getting ridiculous! I can't!..". She was frustrated. Jackson frowned and softly said "Look.. Babe.. I can fix this okay?.. I always do?" Cruz shook her head and corrected her husband "No? You never fixed it? I just forgave you and pushed it back! Now you can see what it's like when someone walks out on you!" She snarled and with that she left. "Cruz! Cruz wait!" Jackson called out. But she was gone. Cruz sat outside in the waiting room. Crying. She was so hurt. So mad.. she grabbed out her phone. Missed calls from the girls.. she sighed. She couldn't handle this. So she texted them both real quick. Cruz just sat there.. crying.. She couldn't just let this go again. At least not right now.
Jackson was confused. Jessica had to see him. So Hudson drive her that way then. Jessica couldn't bare thinking she was at fault for this!
Cruz is very upset after this fight. And for years she has forgiven Jackson and let it be. But this time she just can't so easily. Cruz will shut him out. Being harsh and a bit cold with him at times. She is just hurting. But how does Jackson react to this treatment?
1. His anger builds by each day she pushes him further. (Jackson could snap)
Or
2. Jackson decides they need space before he does lose his anger at this behavior. Jackson moves into his dads old place for what he hopes is only a few days.
(But Cruz and Jackson could get use to being apart)
