Hey guys I know it's been a long time and I said I would update a while ago, but I had computer issues and was very busy so anyway I'm sorry about all that. Ok so enough with me talking, on with the chapter.

Nobody POV.

Sally was pacing back and forth in her living room waiting for Lightning to get back from tractor tipping with Mater. She had talked to Flo earlier, after Lightning left her office, about how she could tell Lightning about what's going on because Flo is the only car to know about her past. It was about 10:30pm when Lightning came home, and when the door opened telling Sally that she had about a good 10 seconds before he would be in the room and when she had to tell him why she had been avoiding Lightning for the past two weeks and not really talking to him unless it was completely necessary.

Sally's POV

'This is it I have to tell him, just maybe not the whole truth, just most of it. Or some of it, or just make an excuse and not tell him at all. No! I have to tell him because if I don't I have no idea what will happen to us.' My thoughts were interrupted when Lightning came into the room. 'Ok this is it.'

"Hey Sally you said that you wanted to talk to me?" Lightning asked. When I looked at him, what is saw in his eyes were things that no one would normally see, nervousness, anxiety, and worry and when I looked harder a very small amount of hope.

"Yeah. Lightning for one thing, I'm really sorry about these past two weeks. Of how I have been avoiding you and ignoring you and it probably felt like I didn't care about or us. And I feel terrible about all of it and it is all because of one phone call I got 2 weeks ago from someone in California who had hurt me in the past and I didn't want them to hurt you."

"Sally if you would have told me we could have gotten through it together."

"I know but there is backstory to all of this."

"Ok and what would that be?"

"That the car that called me was my ex-boyfriend, Vincent, and he was very protective of me and never wanted me to have any other boyfriend. So when I told him that I wanted to break up he rammed me into the wall and I got some pretty serious dents in my sides. So that night I ran, and ended up here. But the reason why I didn't tell you was because I have this feeling that he will try and find me and if he knows that I'm married, especially to a famous Piston Cup racer, he will probably be really mad and hurt you. I guess what I am try to say is, I was protecting you."

"Sally, I….I...don't really know what to say but is this one of the reasons why you never wanted to come to any of my races or tell the press who you are?

"Yes this is the main reason. But Lightning I didn't keep this from you to put distance between us I just didn't want you to get hurt."

"I understand. I am going to go get my stuff so I can leave in the morning. Then I will probably go talk to Doc. Other than that I don't really don't know if I will see you again tonight. But for sure in the morning. Good night Sally."

"Lightning, you're not going to leave me are you?"

"No, of course not I just need some time to process this new information."

"Oh ok, night."

Nobody's POV

Lightning and Sally parted ways for the night. Lightning went a packed his things and Sally went to bed. After Lightning and Doc talked about how the next few races are going to work. Around 11:15pm, Lightning went down to the Radiator Springs practice track and turned on the track lights and raced. A little while later Doc came out the practice because he heard someone racing at top speeds from the clinic. When he got out to the track he saw that Lightning was just starting lap 195 and was so focused that he probably didn't hear Doc come.

Lightning's POV

'How could she keep something like that from me? If I could have helped her 2 weeks ago if she would have told me and we wouldn't be in this mess?'

"Rookie!" Doc yelled from Pit Row into my headset. I swerved and slid into the infield from being freaked out.

"Doc! Why in the world would you yell at me while I'm racing!?"

"To get your attention. Now get your bumper in here."

I turned into Pit Row rolled to where Doc was waiting to figure out why I was racing at this time at night.

"Lightning why in the world are you racing at 12:30 at night while I had Sally come into my clinic about a half hour ago and told me that she said that you weren't home yet and she had no idea where you were. And then about ten minutes ago I hear you racing out here."

"Sorry Doc, I came out here about an hour ago to clear my head about some stuff and I didn't mean to worry anyone."

"Well for one thing don't apologize to me, but go apologize to you wife. And two, what's on your mind if you don't mind me asking?"

"Well, Sally just told me today about why she has been avoiding me for the past two weeks and I told her that if she would have told me we could have gotten through it together but she wanted to protect me from her past."

"That's good to know that she finally told you about her ex-boyfriend Vincent. But here is another thing you have kept some majorly important stuff from you past, like how you just found out about a year ago that your dad is a famous racing legend DJ "The Twister" McQueen, and that your family didn't want you and gave you up for adoption at the age of 2 ½ . OR that…"

"Ok ok I get it. Wait how did you know her past and I didn't?"

"She broke down and told Flo and I a week ago. Anyway would you like me to go on?"

"Ah. NO! I don't want any more things from my past coming back, unless my real family wants me again."

"You do know eventually you are going to have to tell Sally about you past because what have you told her about your past?"

"Only that my parents disowned me for becoming a Piston Cup racer and that nobody really like me in school."

"So you lied to her!?"

"Kinda sorta half lied."

"You are going to be in deep deep trouble with her."

"Know I will be, I just haven't found the right time to tell her yet."

"You better do it quick before she finds out from someone else."

"I know I know."

Nobody's POV

Lightning and Doc drove back to Radiator Springs so they could get some decent sleep before they leave for a moth for racing. And neither one expecting the roller coaster of craziness coming their way.

Hey guys. So what do you think? How do you think Sally is going to react when she finds out about Lightning's past and will it be from him or someone else? How do you think Vincent will play out in the next chapter? And yes he is finally going to be in the story!
