Black Roses chapter 18

REVIEW COMMENTS:

Mere: Ok. I am reading it on DA as well. :) And thx

Tink: Yup, brought the whole album (Deluxe version). Really? U hate Rainbow Road? I love that one. Me and Wario's Gold Mine have something against each other. My best one is Maple Treeway.

Nals: I did but I don't know how and I think they change too much of the planned story.

PGR: Lol. That song used to b my jam! 8) Now it's All Around the World by Justin Bieber and Good Girl by Carrie Underwood. (Yes I'm a Bieber fan. Go shoot me).

Quick shout out to my friends Brittni, Grace and Tev and Ryan. Just a random shoutout. Love ya guys. ^-^

Sally couldn't stop the tears as she cried into Lightning's shirt. His strong arms cuddled her and protected her. Christina walked downstairs to see Sally in a state.

"Honey, baby what's wrong?" Christina asked trying to see Sally's face buried into Lightning's shirt.

"One of our friend's is fatally injured. We need to go back home. By the way I'm Sally's fiancée," Lightning introduced hugging Sally kissing her hair.

"Oh how bad?" Christina replied a bit dazed with all the news. Lightning gave Christina a look and Christina nodded in understand.

"We need to go quick if we want to see him," Lightning replied. Sally broke from his embrace and walked upstairs shaking not saying one word. Lightning followed after her in equal silence. Quinn walked out with Amber.

"Is Sally okay? And was that Lightning McQueen with her?" Amber exclaimed. Christina ushered the girls into the living room.

Sally was packing her things silently. She had done this twice times before and it hurt all the same; when she first moved out to live her own life and to go to Paris.

"Why can't we just turn back the hands of time?" muttered Sally shoving some Tee-Shirts into her suitcase. She threw her head in her hands and began to cry again. Lightning looked at her sadly. He hated seeing her like this. He went to comfort her.

"If we did, I wouldn't have met you," Lightning tried. Sally pushed his arm away and returned to packing. Lightning didn't want to make the situation worse than it was already. "Can I say something here?"

"You just did," snapped Sally wiping tears away from her eyes collecting some shoes.

"Mater is strong. He has Holley and she will kick whoever did this to him and make them pay you know her. And everyone will be happy that we're engaged. And I made arrangements for you to meet my parents in person once this whole thing is over," Lightning promised hugging Sally. Sally sighed. Sally had spoken to his parents on their iPad Facetime but never in the flesh if you understand.

"What if he doesn't? What if he dies? What if we can't find who did this?" Sally asked.

"We will. Now come on. Let's go save Mater!" Lightning smiled doing a superman pose making Sally laugh; a sound he had missed.

"Thank you Stickers. Thanks for being here."

Sally dragged down her belongings in 2 suitcases an hour later.

"Where are you going?" Chris asked innocently.

"I need to go home now Chris sorry," Sally apologised. She hugged the kids who had now come to say goodbye. "I'm gonna miss you all okay. I will come back soon and you are automatically invited to my wedding when that comes around." Christina smiled. She was now back into her daughter's life again. "I'll ring you once I get home okay Chrissie." She hugged Amber and Christina and smiled.

"Be brave Sal," Amber advised.

It was raining by the time everyone had said their goodbyes. Lightning and Sally climbed into Lightning's car.

"Back home?" Lightning conferred.

"Home," Sally said kissing Lightning on the cheek.

AN: sorry this is short. I'm busy and don't have much spare time. And the reason this is so late updating is because like a twit I forgot my Password. :/ sorry!
