Just say I do 5
… Hope….. Hope is what you need….
When this world… falls around you….and you are crumbled on the ground… your spirit broken… body broken…. You need a lil' hope… but it's just so hard…. When your….
...all alone….
Bad things always happen when you are alone… Your mind… that horrible mind is left to wonder….
'will someone ever find me?... How long must I wait in this cold dark place?...Does anyone know that I'm gone?...Does any care that I'm gone…?.'
Then….Things seem pointless … as hope slowly dies from your aching heart….the thought are turned from wondering… to certainty ….
'I'll never see the light of day again…. I'll never have a place of my own….. I'll never get married…. Have kids of my own…. Be happy….. live my life…. Grow old…. Do all the things I want to do….'
Then that big disturbing thought kicks in….
'…. I'm gunna die…'
….Then… the mind unfolds that roll play scenario….The Flowers…. The Picture held up on the altar of the church … The Preacher reading selected scriptures about the promised land as the family grieves, hearing their broken sobs echoing in the room….. Their hurting hearts heard from the heavens as they wish their love one goodbye….. Some selected faces stand out from the crowd, A family member, a Dear Friend, That Father Figure, … and…. the Love of your life….
…. The love of your life…. Crying….. sobbing…. Her heart breaking…..
Tears mindlessly ran out of his eyes… at the thought of her crying over his dead body…
'I'll never …. I'll never see her again…'
His jaw quivered as he felt his heart grow in pain. Tears running down his hood, as his breaths became shallow and short….
's-so much for a happy life….. So much for a happy day…. So much for…'
His eyes shut tight, wincing from the pain that his sobs produced to his broken body….
'so much for a proposal…so much for getting married… so much for making Alice my wife….'
He cracked his eyes open…the sun lowered beyond the buildings…. Lighting the end of the alley with a warm orange light…. Sunset was coming…Night was coming….. and once night came…. Who know what can happen….. The Trucks might come back to beat him to a pulp again…. Or, he could freeze to death with the coldness of the night…. … but… the chances of being found….. was dimming down with the sun….. No one can find someone in the night….
His blurry messed up eyes closed….. he didn't care about his horrible hoodache…. Or his crushed fenders and doors….. the mangled frame and his messed up wheels…. All he cared was getting back to Radiator Springs…. He just…. Wanted to see her smiling face once last time….
'Alice…. Oh Alice'…. If he lost her in anyway…. Life wouldn't be worth living….. He loved her… He loved her with everything that he had….
If…. If he was gone…. How would she feel….?... Would she be crushed just like he is now?... Would life be willing to live when I'm gone…. Does….
'…. Does she love me like the way I do…..?'
His pain level wasn't unusually high, but he was able to suck it up when it counts… but this emotional pain was bad….. it was almost like the time where…..
'The Hornet swallowed hard…. "That's the thing.."… His cobalt paint slowly faded to a deep dark red….his crystal eyes flooded to a sugar brown,…a golden ring pulsed around his eyes….. as the Hornet emblem faded right into the Dodge… "I took Doc's place…."
Alice's face paled….. "Q-Quinn!"
A very weak broken chuckle sounded from the disfigured Dodge… "the one and only…"
Alice let the tears fall…. "W-Why would-….W-Why?" Her voice started quivering from the emotion building up in her weakening frame….
Quinn took a minute to get enough energy… "Because… I wanted Christine to come after me…. If I was myself…. She would of never touched me…. She probably would of killed you right on the spot…."
Alice sniffled a few times… as Quinn continued… "Doc can fix you…. and as much as I want to… I can't fix you even if I tried…."
Alice swallowed hard… "…..What about Mom?"
Quinn took a long pause…. Coughing more oil out of his crushed airways….. "Kendal… she …. Well…. Christine got a hold of her….." His voice weakened…. "She…couldn't make it…"
Alice choked up at that… Quinn very weakly pulled her in close…. "Alice…." He rasped weakly … "I …. I gotta ask ya something…."
Alice was a little fearful of leaning into him but Quinn shaking tire insisted… "what is it?" she said lightly leaning into him…
Quinn took a raspy breath…. "Do you think this is a good excuse to mimic Doc? To spare his life?... 'cause if this doesn't kill me…. Doc will when he finds out.…" his eyes half closed as a smile very weakly tugged his grill….
Alice found herself very lightly laughing which at this point sounded like crying… Making Quinn weakly nuzzle her side….
Alice closed her eyes…finding herself pushing into it…. "I think… he'd understand."
Quinn grunted, shifting slightly… "yeah I hope so.."..his raspy voice choked out…. "I didn't tell him that part of the plan…."….. His breathing became labored as his breaths gurgled inside his crushed body…..
Alice opened her eyes looking at him, "Quinn?..."
Quinn moaned….as he crumpled down on the ground….. " That ain't good….." his voice weakened…. "I don't think I can hang on much longer Alice….."….
Alice stood up "We gotta get someone, Help!... Someone!... He-"
Quinn tugged her side…. "Alice…"
Alice swallowed hard… "There's gotta be a way…. There's gotta be some way!"…
Quinn grazed a tire on her side…. "…just…..just say with me… p-please…."
Alice looked at him with frightened eyes…. Quinn looked at her with very dull brown eyes…. "please…"
Alice swallowed hard as she held back her sobs… she had to be strong for him….she slowly settled down beside him….and lightly nuzzled his side…. "okay…."…..
Quinn closed his eyes, leaning on her…. "You know… there's something… I've been kind of wanting to tell you…. for quite some time….."
Alice breathed very slowly…. "What's that Quinn….?"
Quinn swallowed hard….. " Do you remember, way back in Jack's place… … when me and your mom were locked up… all that time….."
She let herself settle in… "Yes… Yes I do…"
Quinn nodded very weakly "You mom, all she talked about was her kids… Rachelle and Zeb….. talking about their gifts and stuff… and then she named her third child…. Alice…. At first…..it kind of hit me differently…. Almost as if it spiked my interest….. I have no idea why…. But… at the time it did…. "….. he took a second to cough…. Clearing his lungs once more….. " Then…. When we went looking for you…. and Jack had us against the wall… You stood there…. and….I…. couldn't believe my eyes…."
Alice forced a chuckle… "that bad?"
"No… quite the opposite…. I've haven't meet anyone around my age that's… well… a 'classic Model'…. And….i…. ah…felt… overjoyed, excited…. "… he huffed a sigh…. "I don't know…. Not really good with emotions as stuff….."
Alice's eyes watched him… Her soft Violet eyes tried reading him…..
"but… I knew… … that there was like …this …Bond I had... when you… .. almost died….. it was almost like…. I knew you my whole entire life….. I …. I felt as though…part of me went with you… I cried…"
Alice's eyes welded up with tears….
"and…. when my Dad picked me up to take me home…. i… I thought I was already home…. With you… so.. when I went home… I missed this place… I missed the town…. I missed you… so..."…
Quinn went silent…
Alice gently nudged him….. "Quinn…."
His voice came as a whisper…. "….i had to get back to you….. I knew….."
Alice blinked, fear building in her from the sound of his distant voice… "Quinn?..."
Quinn's eyes slowly closed…. "….. I knew… that I was falling for …..you…"
Her eyes flooded with tears….. "No… No Quinn don't…. Don't give out on me….."
Quinn leaned his full weight on her… "Alice….i…think…..i love you…"
Alice felt her own weakness in her body…. As she lied beside him….closing her eyes….her frame shook….. "Don't…. Don't leave….. please… Quinn….Quinn!"….'
He swallowed hard…"se wod."…his hearing stopped ringing enough for him to realize his horrible slurring… "see wood…." He's eyes filled with tears again at the sound of his messed up speech, 'she would!' "se wod"…. 'my name is Quinn'… "me nam ss kwnn"….his eyes poured down his hood…..
'Alice… I don't want to you to see me like this…. To hear me like this….'
"al-less…"…. He winced at the sound of his voice….. "hi ooo ei tawk ike his!" he somewhat raised his voice…. Causing his voice to quiver under stress…. He couldn't focus on his words….
…. Something must be wrong…..
He thought…. And he thought… but the spinning head would not let him think….
And then something triggered something….. he was smashed hard …. A concussion? Could that cause messed up speech?
"ei ish oc as ear."…. he sighed heavily and repeated it in his mind 'I wish doc was here.'
He moved closer to the wall…. Snuggling up close to it to find some comfort…. Some warmth…
'I wish anyone was here…'
A flash of dark blue caught his blurry sight, causing the dodge to shudder… 'oh no… not him again…'
That thought of that blasted Diplomat coming back was just earth shaking… How could an Officer leave someone broken like this!... How can he ALLOW those blasted Trucks to just get away with stealing and beating someone up!
Was…
Was he waiting for the night to come finish him off….?
Or …
Was he waiting to be the hero…?
Quinn hid as best as his broken body would allow, "roked cot"… he slurred….
Another flash of that dark blue caused his gut to knot up ….. Why was he pacing! Was he toying with him? was he making sure the coast was clear?
His questions were answered…. As his heart came to a stop at the sight of headlight…. More than one pair….
'no! oh please Dear Lord not those Trucks again!'
He felt himself trying to hid… but.. with little effect… his body won't budge…. He'll just have to fake being dead…. So with as much effort as he could, he closed his eyes…. And relaxed as much as his tense body would allow him… and….. waited..
His pulse pounded in his hood…. As the light covered his broken frame….
There was a long pause….. as they seemed to be just staring at him…. waiting for him to move… to budge…
Quinn's heart raced… as he found himself swallowing hard….
No one moved for a long period of time… ….
A set of headlights shut off…as the sound of tires crackled closer to him….
Then a tire was pressed at his side… causing Quinn to wince, and yelp in pain… His miss dilated sugar brown eyes looked directly into the Old Familiar Crystal Blue….
Relief flooded over his features as his eyes started to water from the sight of that Old Hudson Hornet…. "o tank he Woard"…. He slurred horribly to him… causing the Hornet's eyes to weaken…
"Quinn, you're in pretty bad shape… Just take it easy.."
Quinn looked at the hornet… then at the other blurry shapes…. "ow ou ind ee?"
The hornet took a minute to register what he was trying to say… then motioned to the dark shaped figure… "Alex, the Jeweler saved your bumper Quinn…." The Hornet cracked a small smile…
Quinn looked over at the dark figure, as he rolled closer to him. the Familiar black BMW with the slate blue eyes smiled weakly at him.. "I am so sorry this happened…." His eyes weakened… "I… I did my best, but I don't think my best was good enough…"
Quinn looked up at him.. "waz ur nam?"
The BMW smiled, "Alexander Williams… and other there is my wife, Kyrie Williams….."
Quinn smiled as best as he could… "tank ou…. Tank ou…"… his eyes slowly rolled back as his body gave up trying to stay strong….
He knew he was safe….. he can go home now….
#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*
Her eyes opened for the first time in a long time… here eyes drifted around the room trying to see where she was….
In Doc's clinic…
She paused in thought as she looked back over … and there was her mother… Looking at her with uneasy eyes…
"Mom…?" her voice cracked from lack of use….
"Hey Hon'…" Her eyes did not waver from hers.. "How are you feeling…?"
Alice took a moment to think about it… "I'm doing much better…"
"That's good." Her mother shortly said…..her eyes lowered… then look back up at her… "Do you have an idea as to what's going on…?"
Alice paused at the sound of her mother's strange serious tone… "…I over worked myself…?"
Kendal took a moment to think about it… then gave a small nod…. "Uh huh…"
Alice swallowed hard… "Is there something wrong….?" Her eyes darted back and forth at her tone… Her mother was always sweet and nurturing and just flat out loving.. no matter what happened…. How serious can this be?
The Chrysler 300 shifted oddly in her stance… "Depends…"
Worry pulse through the Mustang as she just looked at her mother with uneasy eyes, "Mom what's going on."
Alice just looked at her mother with frustrated confusion…
Kendal shifted changing the mood… "Well… I don't know if you have heard… But Quinn was beaten up and robbed…."
Alice gasped, "Oh no! Is he alright? "
The Chrysler nodded, "Hudson found him and is bring them home as we speak…"
"What about the wedding?"
"Everyone at the wedding is well informed and understands. Sally is upset but Lighting is being a good future Husband and staying by her side, comforting her… That Fan Girl took off somewhere in the wedding… Umm…. The Tractor lover is calm and safe…. Mater is… well… Mater…." Both giving off a soft chuckle… " But everything is in order, they are just waiting for Hudson and Quinn to get back…"
The Mother's eyes were hard on her daughters as she found herself sighing…. "How close are you and Quinn….?" She asked very lowly….
Alice felt her face redden at that…. "C-Close…"
Kendal looked up at her daughter… and nodded slowly…. "How serious is it?"
"Serious enough…."
"Uh huh…." Kendal looked at her daughter weakly…. "You couldn't wait?"
The Mustang sank very low on her tires…. Tears of shame welded in her eyes… "I-I don't know mom. It just kind of happened…"
"Just kind of happened? Alice? I thought the only thing you had to worry about controlling was your gift!". The Mother huffed a sigh….
"Mom… it's not like I'm-"
"You are." The Chrysler corrected her radical daughter….. "I never knew my daughter would ever get so reckless as to get herself pregnant!"
Alice's watery Violet eyes grew tenfold… her features paled as the news hit her…. pregnant
"B-But Mom, everything will be alright, I mean Sally and lightning-"
"At least they were engaged…" the mothers eyes were stern with her daughter…. "At least they made a promise to each other to make a Promise to GOD!"
Alice froze at the mothers harsh words….
The mother's Midnight blue eyes just looked at her daughter…. Pain hinting her features…..
Alice choked on her words… "M-mom…?"
The Chrysler shook her head… and gave a heavy sigh…. "I'm not going to be like my mother and just kick you to the curb…. " She looked up at her Daughter…. As her eyes just welded with tears "You are my daughter… and I love you….. but I'm disappointed in you hon'….i thought I knew you better…."
Alice had tears streaming down her hood…and her broken breathing caused her to mumble. "I'm s-sorry…."
Kendal's eyes softened…. "Well… It's too late now…. That's in the past…. Now we got to face the future together …right?"
Alice sniffled a few times…nodding furiously…. "Uh huh…"
Kendal gave a small smile… "You just had to rush to make me feel old, huh?"
Alice gave a broken laugh, causing Kendal to weakly chuckle…
"H-How far along…?" Alice gave a weak question….
"about…. 8 weeks…."
Alice paused… doing the math in her head…. Then her face flushed red…. "Uh huh…that sounds about right…"
Kendal chuckled a lil' more strongly… "don't you just love that moment…?... I was the same way with Zeb…. Where you have to sit back and think about that day…. ".
Alice nodded….. mindlessly resting her tire on her gut….
'pregnant… '
" I'm going to be a mom…"
