Chapter 23-Arrival In L.A.-
Three hours later, Doc was reading Lightning's x-rays. "Yep, you put a new fracture, in it." Doc said. "It's just a stress fracture though, nothing to serous" "Okay," Lightning said, nodding. "I'm going to put a heaver brace on it. Don't take it off for any reason, I don't you to mess up the alignment of your axle" Doc said. "I expect you to only pay attention to your wife down in Mexico. No racing, training, or anything. "Doc… anything… come on it's our honeymoon" Lightning complained. "There are some things that I want to do." "Get your fucking mind out of the gutter. When you get back you won't be training for six to eight weeks." "But Doc!…" Lightning protested. "No buts," Doc said. "That axle hasn't had any time to heal and it needs some." "Fine," Lightning said. Overall, he was too happy to argue. Doc unwrapped Lightning's axle and put the heavy brace on it. Lightning and Sally boarded the transport and he took them to the hotel. Fans and media were camped out across the street, and Lightning waved to the crowd. The hotel was magnificent, obviously a five star. It had columns lining the front entry way and the lobby was immaculate. The front desk was plated with gold, and the floor was so polished, Lightning could see his reflection in it when he drove in.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a light blue viper was accosting Lightning. "I'm so proud of you!" Skye raved. She engulfed her son in a huge hug, causing Lightning to be in some pain but not that much. Skye let go of Lightning and backed away, tears in her eyes. "Ewww, you're filthy," she said, laughing slightly. She used her tire to rub some dirt off Lightning's fender. "Mom! Please not now!" Lightning said. "Please!" "Oh okay" Skye said, laughing again. "I watched the race with Sally. The hotel put up a huge screen TV for all of us to watch you. You were amazing!" "Thanks, Mom," Lightning said, smiling at her. He knew how difficult it was for his mother to watch a race. She hated the whole sport of racing. "Hello, Love" Riley said, beaming down at Skye. "An bhfuil tú caillte dom?(Have you missed me?)" Riley said grinning at his wife. "Absolutely" Skye said then kissed him. Lightning winced and then groaned as his axle gave a nasty throb. "You didn't hurt yourself again, did you?" Skye asked Lightning, a dramatic expression on her delicate face. "Yes, I put another fracture in my axle." Lightning replied "But it isn't anything too severe." "Nothing too severe?" Cliff asked, driving up. He smiled at his soon to be son-in-law. "Most cars would be in a cast and on crutches with a fractured axle." "To tell you the truth, Sir," Lightning said. "Fractures don't seem to be that painful anymore." "Isn't your axle already broken?" Mercedes, asked, driving up as well. "I guess you could call it that," Lightning said, suppressing a yawn. "It's not exactly healed yet." "You look exhausted," Sally said. "I'll show you to your suite so you can get some sleep." "Well, I don't want to be antisocial" Lightning said to his parents and the Carreras, "I slept on the plane, but I'm still absolutely exhausted. I hope you guys don't mind if I head up to bed." "Not at all," Skye said. "You just drive four hundred miles on a broken axle" Riley said. Lightning laughed. "Yes I did, and I re-injured myself in the process" he said. "I'll see you guys later."
Everyone said goodbyes to Lightning. He and Sally went up the elevator to the thirteenth story where Lightning were staying. Sally stopped at suite 1337 and unlocked it. "This is my suite?" Lightning asked, driving into it. It was a large suite with a cushiony bed, and a large plasma screen television on the wall. "Yeah" Sally said following Lightning in. He drove onto the bed and sighed. "Care to join me?" Lightning asked, scooting over a little to make room for Sally. "Maybe for a minute," Sally said. "All my old school friends are getting here in an hour, so I have a few minutes to spare." "Good," Lightning said. "I'm glad I'm worth your time." Sally laughed. "Of course you are," she said. "Did I mention how proud I am of you?" "Maybe once, or twice" Lightning said, snuggling up against his fiancé. Sally laughed. "Then without warning she ran to bathroom and vomited, after she flushed the toilet she came back into Lightning's room. "Sally, are you sick?" "No, not really, I think that the stress is getting to me, I've been doing that for the for a few days. Are you going to sleep until tomorrow or are you taking a nap and then get up again?" "That depends, what time it is" Lightning yawned. "It's ten minutes after four," Sally replied looking at the clock on the wall. "Get me up at nine, and I'll have cocktails with you and your girlfriends." Lightning replied, fatigue in his voice. "Ok Sweetheart" Sally said. "I'll come and get you at nine." "Sounds good," Lightning said. "Could you get me a painkiller, it's in my bag by the door. Sally drove off the bed and rummaged though his bag and found the painkillers. She got a glass of water and drove up to Lightning. He took the painkiller. Sally snuggled up to him. "I love you" she said kissing Lightning. "I love you too," Lightning said groggily. He was asleep before Sally had the chance to drive out of the room.
At nine, Sally gently shook Lightning awake. "Hey, hey, wake up sleepy hood" she said, smiling at him. "Hey," Lightning replied groggily. It felt as though he had not slept at all. "Did you have a good nap?" Sally asked. "Yeah," Lightning replied. "Do you feel well-rested?" Sally asked. "Maybe just rested," Lightning admitted. "Well-rested would be pushing it." "Do you want to go back to sleep?" Sally asked. "No, I'm okay" Lightning replied, yawning. He drove off the bed and stretched. Lightning grimaced at the sharp pain that shot through his injured axle. "Are you okay?" Sally asked concern in her voice. "Yeah," Lightning said gingerly putting weight on his injury. "I'm always stiff when I wake up." "Okay," Sally said. She did not look one hundred percent reassured. "I'm fine, really," Lightning said. "Did your friends get here?" he asked, changing the subject. "Yeah!" Sally said, her face Lightning up. "They got here early. When I got downstairs, they were driving into the lobby. They can't wait to meet you." "Okay," Lightning said, fighting a yawn that was threatening to escape from his mouth. He remembered what him mom had said about him being filthy. "Let me take a quick shower, then I'll meet them." "Well all right Sally said. "Make it fast," "Speed, I am speed" Lightning said using his favorite saying. Sally broke out in laughter. He drove into the bathroom and into the automatic car wash. The jets of warm water felt great against his titanium. The steam that rose from the hot water threatened to lull Lightning back to sleep. When the underside jets turned on, Lightning jumped uncomfortably. He groaned slightly as the water pelted his already incredibly sore underside. This lasted for about two minutes, and when the dry cycle turned on, he let out a sigh of relief. The dry cycle lasted two minutes, and Lightning drove out of the shower feeling clean, and other than his throbbing axle, refreshed. "There all clean" he said.
"Are you ready?" Sally asked Lightning when he was out of the bathroom. "Yeah, just let me take a dose of painkillers that Doc gave me" Lightning replied. "Is everybody still in the lobby?" Lightning gagged on the painkiller so much that he nearly vomited. "No, everybody was moved to a private lounge" Sally replied. Lightning exited the suite after Sally. He drove into the elevator and the door shut. "Can you believe in three days we're going to be married?" Sally asked, leaning against Lightning. "It's pretty hard to believe," Lightning agreed, smiling at his fiancé. "How are you doing, I hope you haven't been barfing all over the place." Lightning said. "Stickers, I don't barf…" Sally said. "Oh… what do you call it then?" Lightning playfully said "Hurl, ralph, spew, tango with the toilet, paint the town red: green: orange and pink, burp to the ninth power, bare your guts to the world" "Light stop…" Sally laughed "Your going to make me wet myself" Sally continued to laugh "…Become a multicolored organic fountain, drive the porcelain bus, toss your cookies, pray to the porcelain god…" "Okay Light, that's enough you should talk" Sally said cutting in. "Every time you get hurt, you vomit all over the place" "I can't help it!" Lightning said "That's how my body responds to pain." The elevator doors opened and the couple drove out, Sally in front.
