Lightning met up with Cal the coming morning to talk about a few things and to finish searching Jackson's car. "So what was this big news you wanted to talk to me about?" Cal asked as they grabbed some tools to continue tearing it apart. "Well.." Lightning began. "I got a restraining order." "On Cleo?" Cal asked. Lightning shook his head correcting "Cruz." Cal's eyes widened. "You did what!?" he lost it. "Why!? What did she do?" he asked. Lightning stepped back and explained "She kept pushing it. Trying to make me cheat on Sally over and over and then she sent me this.. Dirty tape and I had enough. I've told her off and thought I was firm enough but.. I had to." Cal rubbed his head. Definitely gonna get a head ache from this one.
"Okay.. I understand, but.. You do know this is gonna come back to the school right?.. If you and Cruz can't be in the same building than"-"We won't be. I will be with that class at my academy. Plus, I'm gonna start taking students with the Jackson Storm Scholarship." Lightning interrupted. Cal sighed whining "I just hope that was the right move.." "It's just temporary. Just to get the point across to Cruz really. I plan on dropping the act at court. But I just needed to scare her really." Lightning added. Cal wasn't sure if it was the best move there. But understood Lightning's reasons...
Cruz stood at the door. Taking a moment and breathing in and out. "Okay Cruz.. You can do this. Just.. Mom to mom, you know.. Talk to her like.. Parent to parent. You got this." Suddenly the door opened and Sally's brows lowered at the sight of Cruz as she crossed her arms asking "What are you doing here?" Cruz came to Sally's office. The younger woman blushed and explained herself nervously "Um.. Lightning put out a restraining order against me an"-"I know." Sally interrupted. Cruz became angry and just knew Sally had to have something to do with it!
"You made him. Didn't you?" She snapped. Sally snickered and shook her head. "No. But I am very satisfied and extremely happy that Lightning decided to cut whores from his life." Sally answered. Cruz was growing furious, but had to stay calm. "I'm not even going to get into that." Cruz growled. The two eyeing each other about ready to murder one another. "Look, I came by to ask you to.. Ask him or something.. To uh.. Drop it or cancel it." Cruz mumbled. Sally shook her head. "You should go before I put one out on you two." Threatening. Sally began to shut her door when Cruz stopped it with her hand.
"Wait!" She shouted. "Please.. If this gets out there and child services find out.. I could lose Miguel for good.." Sally stared at Cruz. Part of her saw the pathetically real begging Cruz had going on. Cruz was trying to be a mother now, but Sally sighed and replied "Maybe that's for the best.." Softly. Cruz felt her heart sink! "You would really want me to lose my son!?" She shouted. Sally only snarled back "Frankly honey, that's not my decision. But from what I've seen and heard, you already made that choice yourself. You put a man's penis before your kid.. RACING before your family! If you love Miguel so much, you would do what was best for him and not yourself! In my opinion, you are not fit to be a mother and if that child did come out being Lightning's, I would have fought for full custody and I'm not even his fucking mother!"
Cruz tried to speak up, but Sally was on a rampage, "Truth is, the minute Lightning made that request for the protection against you, you went into the system Cruz. I expect within a day or two that dcs will be at your door. You stay away from Lightning and my children! Or I promise you I can and WILL make it much worse!" Sally slammed the door in Cruz's face! SLAM! Cruz stood there silent for a moment. "So someone took an extra petty ass bitch pill today!" She yelled. Little late on that come back, but Sally shocked her a little. Shocked her and broke her heart. Cruz just knew what this meant. Miguel was going to be taken away. AGAIN! And this time for good!
She couldn't let that happen! Cruz began banging on the door repeatedly! Sally finally opened the door and Cruz immediately spoke "Look, I'm sorry OKAY!? I'm sorry I loved a married man! I'm.. Sorry we made love, I'm sorry that you got hurt in the process! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I am sorry! For everything okay!? Especially that stupid video I handed him. That's probably.." She paused and sighed. "I probably... I shouldn't have given him that.." Cruz mumbled with a frown. Sally's brows lowered once again. "What video?" she asked with such an angry growl. Cruz swallowed hard and thought quickly before answering that "Um.. The uh video.."
Stupid answer. Sally crossed her arms. It was apparent that Sally had no clue of the video. Cruz figured she did sense she knew about the restraining order. Sally then slapped Cruz across the face! Cruz yiped a little and grabbed her stinging cheek. Staring at Sally in just utter disbelief! "You stay away from us." Sally threatened firmly and shut the door. Cruz was going to cry. She quickly went home to spend as much time as she had left with Miguel...
Cal sighed and stared at the peices. "Well.. Remote is definitely NOT in the car.." Lightning frowned. Not in the car and not in the helmets. Lightning rubbed his eyes and whined "What am I missing Cal..." Cal looked at his friend and answered "Maybe nothin. Cleo is probably playin you man.. It's what she does.. Right?" Lightning only sighed. Yes, Cleo played games.. But she never lead it pointlessly. "You know what?" Cal added. Lightning looked at his friend curiously. "I'm gonna go talk to Cleo myself. After what she did to Megan, I wanna." Lightning was a little surprised. But nsybe a different face would get Cleo to slip something up...
