Sally was sitting on the couch. Watching a little tv when Lightning walked in from the bedroom, headed to the kitchen. He grabbed himself a bottle of water. Sally looked over and asked, "Why don't you come join me?" Lightning stared at her. He sighed. He should be trying. So he walked over and sat down next to his wife. Sally scooted closer and leaned her head over his shoulder. Lightning glanced at her. It was kind of nice. Sally let out a sigh. "Would therapy help?" She asked. Lightning set the water bottle down on the coffee table before wrapping an arm around his woman. "I don't know…. I think we'll be fine." "Really?" "Yeah, eventually." At least until after the baby came. That would change a lot of things. He just knew it.

Honestly, Lightning was already thinking about that. He couldn't do it. He could not raise that baby. He did want to try, but deep down he knew he could never come to terms with that. So he'd leave. Once Sally had the baby, he'd leave. Ben would be there anyway. She wouldn't miss him much. She'd have Ben's baby keeping her busy. So Lightning was already distancing himself from Sally. Just taking in the last few months he had.

Lightning looked at Sally and asked, "How is the pregnancy going?" "It's fine." "Fine?" "Yeah.. You know I have been thinking about how things will be soon… When should we start being honest with our friends?" She asked. Lightning sighed. It was going to be such a mess once the truth got out. "I don't know.. I guess once you start showing. When will that be anyway?" "I think around eighteen or so weeks… It's hard to remember when I was showing with the first.." She frowned. Lightning sighed once more. Staring at his wife. Glancing down at her belly. She was going to get fat. With Ben's stupid baby. He looked at the tv.

It was wrong to think that way. He didn't really want to leave her, he just didn't know how to handle raising someone else's kid. And it wasn't even that. He could raise some one else's kid. If he had been with Sally and she already had a kid with Ben, he could do that, but this situation was different. She cheated. She hurt him. And now he was fighting his mind and heart. Trying to convince himself to love her like before he knew about the affair. Why couldn't he just get over this!?….

The following morning, Lightning was in the garage. Tuning up the Bolt. He remembered how Cruz had helped him before. She was smart when it came to the race cars and their body weights, engines. He never met a woman like that before. The only other woman to compare like that would have been Molly who sometimes 'helped' him fix the cars he would wreck. Lightning shut the hood and grabbed the keys when the door to the house from the garage opened. He looked over and saw Sally. "Going out?' She asked. Lightning glanced at the car before looking back to her answering, "I thought about it. I can stay with you." He smiled.

A small smile. Things were calming down between them. Sally smiled and walked down to him. Taking his hands in hers. "I love you, Lightning. Please don't forget that." "I love you too." He replied. Smiling a little. A real smile. It had seemed like forever sense he smiled at her like that! Lightning then decided to try. Try something. He wanted this marriage to work and he wanted to feel something more than hate for his wife. Lightning picked Sally up by the hips and set her on the driver side fender of the bolt. Holding her hips as he gazed into her eyes. He was searching. Searching for a spark, a slight feeling of love in his heart for her and trying to light it again.

Sally looked deep into his blue eyes a moment before asking, "Are you okay?" Lightning sighed, "Sure, yeah.." He was lying. Heart broken. Searching for whatever was left of them in her teal blue eyes. "Lightning…" She called softly. Lightning then took her face in his hands. Tears gathering in his eyes. The pain. She hurt him. She broke him. Made his heart look for happiness elsewhere. He hated her! He hated feeling this way! "Lightning." She called more sternly. Then he leaned in and kissed her slightly aggressively! Sally's eyes widened at first! His eyes closed as he deeply kissed this woman. Searching for a feeling that was lost. Sally closed her eyes. Wrapping her arms around his neck as he then opened his mouth.

Her tongue slowly entering his mouth and his tongue meeting hers. They began making out on the car. Just taking a moment to gasp or breathe here and there as their lips barely ever parted for what was an entire minute at the least. Then he pulled his lips away. Resting his forehead on hers. Breathing a little loudly.

Come on.. Find something worth saving.. He tried telling himself. His heart hurt so much!

He then began kissing her neck. Sally cocking her head to give him more access. Lightning kissed, licked, sucked her neck. She smelled good. Not Cruz good, but-wait-why did his mind go to Cruz. Lightning pulled back and lifted her shirt off of her. Tossing it to the floor of the garage and kissing directly between them. She wasn't even wearing a bra sense they were home. She obviously wasn't planning on going anywhere. Lightning then took her left nipple into his mouth. His tongue tickling it and then suckling gently on her petite breast. Sally moaned slightly, quietly. Did she make that sound for Ben? Lightning went to her other breast. Doing the same motions and patterns. Sally leaned back.

Slowly laying over the hood of the Bolt. Lightning spread her legs and leaned down, kissing her tummy. Licking up her naval. Sally gasped a bit from the chill of the air she felt after he left a trail of saliva. Lightning grabbed her pants. Sweatpants. Yeah, she didn't plan on going anywhere today. He pulled them and her panties down. Kissing above her area before tossing the last of her clothes to the floor. This was his favorite thing with any and every woman he had ever been with. Eating her out and tasting her. Tasting her sweet liquids. With Sally, it had been more than a thing he enjoyed. It had become an addiction. So maybe.. Just maybe this would be what he needed. Lightning knelt down and didn't waste time kissing and teasing her. He needed this.

He opened his mouth and took her area into his mouth. His tongue sliding upwards, lastly lapping her clit then he sucked. Sucking her juices and pushing his tongue into her hole. Sally moaned from his pleasure. Lightning closed his eyes and sucked her hole, her clit. Rolling his tongue around the outer entrance of her hole, pushing his face down between her legs. Grabbing her thighs and placing the over his shoulders as he licked, lapping her area. Flickering his tongue over her clit. Sally moaned a bit louder. Lightning stopped for a second. Breathing, then diving back in. Did it feel like the same addiction? Not entirely. But it was familiar. He moaned a bit as he deep dived into her pelvis.

Pulling her thighs in and pushing his face deeper. Moaning again as he devoured her area. Sally sat up and moaned more, louder. He stopped and stood up. Wiping his face on his shirt then taking the shirt off. Loosening his belt, jean's button, zipper. Taking his pants and boxers down just beneath his member before grabbing her hips and slowly pushing the tip inside her. Sally moaned and closed her eyes. Lightning reached for her, grabbing her throat and forcing her stay sitting up a little as he pushed his member inside her. Sally opened her eyes and looked directly into his blue eyes as he began thrusting into her. Her mouth dropping open as she moaned from the fullness he was giving her. Lightning thrusted as a rhythm, holding her by the throat and the other hand on her hip.

The car rocking back and fourth with his thrust. "Lightning… I.." She began. She was close, he could tell from her insides. Lightning sped up a little. This time, he wasn't hate fucking her. He was searching for the love they desperately needed to salvage this! Trying to find the love they still had for one another. "Lightning!" Sally shouted as her body built! The fire burning before suddenly her insides tightened! Lightning couldn't take her tightening! He let her throat go, grabbing her by both hips and went harder, faster! "Fuck! It's to much!" She yelped, and then he rammed inside her and stopped all motion! Cumming inside her! Lightning let out a slight groan with his climax. It felt fucking good! They both panted a bit.

Lightning pulling his member out and cum dripped down from Sally's entrance, all over the fender of the old race car. He sighed and put himself away then placed one of his hands on the back of Sally's neck. Resting his forehead on hers. Breathing. Eyes closed and taking a moment to collect some thoughts. Sally grabbing his free hand and holding it as she sat on the car. Cum just dripping down onto the fender. rolling down and dropping onto the wheel. Sally then lifted her face slightly, kissing his lips. Lightning sighed as she kissed him.

Her kiss felt real.. Her body felt good, but… it just felt so… Not the same. Like his heart was numb. Protecting itself. Lightning didn't understand. He thought this would help. He thought… But like she said before… He used sex with her for very emotion… He lost her

Lightning's eyes filled with tears. He choked on his breath. Trying not to brake. But he couldn't do it. He pulled away. Grabbing his shirt and handing it to Sally. He took her wrists and looked at the bruising. It was healing at least. Sally slipped on his shirt and hopped off the car. Something was wrong. "Stickers." She called. Lightning stared at her. Tears falling down his face. She stepped towards him and stepped back. Keeping a distance between them. "Stickers…" she whispered.

Lightning took a deep breath. In and out. Then he wiped his eyes and apologized. Sally frowned. She really messed up. She really broke his heart. "No.. No, I'm sorry.." Sally corrected. Then she stepped closer and hugged him. "I'm so sorry…" She repeated. Lightning wrapped his arms around his wife. Broken but hopeful. Things would get better. Hopefully…

Lightning at on the couch. Thinking. Thinking about the feelings he was searching for inside her. There was hope but it was so faint. He sighed. He was depressed. Maybe that's all this was. Sally walked up and handed Lightning a coffee mug with steam coming out. He glanced up at her, taking it. "It's tea." She announced. Lightning nodded and thanked her. Taking the mug and staring down into the liquid. Sally sat next to him. Placing a hand on his knee. Lightning sighed then looked at her. He smiled. A little. But it was a smile. His smile. It didn't stay though. It faded back to the frown he was known for at this point. "Sally…" He began, "I really, really am trying.. I want us… I want us more than anything… It just hurts…" he was quiet.

Almost whispering, his voice cracking a bit, "I don't know if I can do this…" "I'm sorry… I wish I could fix this… Make it where you don't think of my mistake when we are together…" She muttered. Lightning looked at her replying, "I didn't think about it this time.. Not really… I think I can get over that part… I just don't know if I can do this thing with…" he paused. Staring at her. Sally understood. "With the baby?" She asked. Lightning looked away and admitted, "I know it's wrong.. I'm trying though.. I don't want this to end us.. Not after everything we've been through.." Sally leaned on his shoulder. Sitting with him in their home for a bit. Things did seem to be calming down and they probably were actually getting better. Because they weren't screaming at one another and he was able to make love for once. Barely. But able….

Lightning sat in bed alone. Doing some searching on his phone. How to reconnect marriage. How to build trust after an affair. How to fix a broken marriage. Nothing helped. He sighed and set his phone down. He needed to talk to somebody. He needed a person to confide in and get advice from. But.. That meant telling someone. That meant the secret would get out. Right now, Ben, Carson, Flo, Ramone, and himself were the ones that knew Sally cheated and was having Ben's baby. Cal and Meg knew she was pregnant. But they didn't know it wasn't Lightning's yet. He sighed. Hurting. His heart just hurt. It was getting better… Or easier. Couldn't tell.

But he needed help. Part of him wanted to leave Sally and move on, the other wanted to stay and fight for this. Who did he have that would give it to him like it is, that knew him well enough to give trust worthy advice. That had either been in situations in marriage or seen enough that it meant something. Someone who wouldn't judge him to harshly but would also be real. Bobby would be a good one for this. To an extent. But no, not Bobby. Lightning picked up his phone and opened his contacts. Scrolling through them. No, no, no, no… He stopped. Staring at the name on the screen. Lightning got up out of bed, grabbed his wallet and keys and headed to the Bolt. He needed some air. Some space. Perfect aloneness to talk about this with the person he trusted most….

Lightning sat on the ground in front of Doc's grave. It was quiet and cool out. Exactly what he needed. He stared at Doc's tombstone for a moment. "Miss you, Doc.." Lightning muttered. Then he pulled out his phone and called the only person who he knew could keep his secrets and keep quiet about Sally.

Hey there, kid. Been a while.

"Hey, Chad.. Yeah.. I'm sorry. I've been busy."

I'd say! What a race! You gave that girl one hell of a chance. So you're a coach now, huh?

"Yeah."

You like it? Feel weird?

"I do like it. I enjoy it. Kind of nice to pass the torch over, honestly, it's great."

Good to hear. How is Sally?

"Actually… There's something I want to talk to you about."

Everything alright?

"Uh.. No, no it's not.."

What's wrong?

"So, uh.. Yeah, Sally slept with someone else."

The fuck?

"Yeah…"

Why? When did this happen? While you were training?

"No, while I was in the hospital."

You were in the hospital again? Wait, no.. While you were in the coma? After the accident?!

"Yeah."

What the heck? Oh Mom is going to lose her shit.

"No! Don't tell Mom. I don't want this out there."

I understand that, but why? With… Don't tell me it was that guy she had come over from some other hospital.

"Ben. Yeah. That's him."

Wow. What?.. I'm sorry, I don't understand. I knew you two were having problems and the drinking but this? Why?

"She said she was lonely and needed a distraction. Look, I can get over the fact they fucked. I know I can, but"-

-you're staying with her? She slept with someone else and you are going to stay with her? Nah, man. That's trash.

"She's pregnant."

…. Oh.. I…

"No, it's not mine."

What the fuck!? She's pregnant with the other guys baby?

"Please just listen…"

Yeah, of course. I'm here.

"I am trying to make this work. I am trying to look past this and make things better. I need help. I need this to work."

You really want to stay with her? No, I'd be done. There is no excuse she can give for getting knocked up. There are ways to avoid that. Not to mention, isn't it harder for her to get pregnant. No. She can't say she was lonely as an excuse to sleep with someone else. We were all there the entire fucking time. Fuck no! You don't need to raise some other guys kid. Let him do that! And if she did it this time, she'll do it again. Once a cheater, always a cheater. Why would you put yourself through the hell of trying to make it work.

"I love her."

No one loves someone that much, Monty. I'm sorry. But no. You deserve better and you can have better. I know you two built something but she tossed it away for someone else. You two were married. She took the vows.

"I've broken vows too."

You sleep with another woman?

"No."

Alright, so what do you want me to say? Because my advice is leave her. Leave her and find better. Because that was a bitch ass move. You were in a coma! I can not believe she did that. All I can think is how fucked that is.

"I think I can move past the cheating."

What about the baby? Is she keeping it?

"Yeah."

Nope. Run. Run as far as you can and don't look back, Monty. I'm sorry if that's not what you want to hear. Sure, you two may have a strong enough relationship built to move past the cheating. If so, I envy you. But a baby? That is something you have to raise and deal with daily. Long term! It will do nothing but keep that betrayal in your face for years! It's not worth that. You will destroy yourself trying to make it work through that.

"Yeah… I thought about it to.."

Thought about leaving?

"I… I know deep down I won't be able to handle this. I can't raise his kid.. I know better, but I love her."

You love her and it hurts… I know… I'm so sorry… I.. I can't tell you anything you went to hear. God dammit she's a weak bitch. What kind of woman does that to her fucking husband! This is why I don't get married.

"Yeah, that's why.."

Monty… I'm sorry. I hate this for you. If I had known, I would have pounded that little weirdo guy she brought into the ground.

Lightning snickered, "Thanks, Chad.."

What are you thinking?

"I don't want to leave her.."

I know you don't, but you got to think of you in this situation. You have an image to…

"I know…"

I'm sorry I can't tell you what you want to hear. I'm here for you, but just leave her.. There are others.. Sure, it'll hurt at first but it can't be as bad as finding out she cheated. How did you find out?

"She told me. She was honest about it and told me about it and the pregnancy.."

Monty… I'm sorry.. I didn't.. I never thought.. I'm sorry..

"I'll be alright. I just… Got some things to think about."

Yeah… You should come home for a bit. Just you. We'd love to see you again.

"The next race that is in Texas, I will. Promise."

Sounds good. I'll be marking the calendar. You call me anytime you need me, Mon. I'll answer.

"Thanks, Chad…"

Call me back sometime.

"Alright.. Thanks for the advice.."

Yeah, sorry. I just… I'm sorry. Talk soon, Monty.

"Alright, bye."…..

Lightning returned home and the smell of food filled his nostrils. He sighed. Sally cooked. Which meant she would want to eat dinner together probably. It could be nice though. He did want this marriage after all. It was the kid he didn't really want. Lightning walked into the kitchen. Sally taking a bowel out of the microwave. She smiled as she looked at her husband. "Hey." She greeted. Lightning smiled a little, "Hey.. What are you making?" He asked as he walked up behind her. Wrapping his hands around her hips. Sally melted when she felt his breath on her neck. "Corn, potatoes, ham, Brussels sprouts." "Brussels sprouts. Gross." Lightning chuckled. Sally turned and faced Lightning.

Smiling as she gazed into his eyes. "You okay?" She asked. Lightning only scolded, "Stop asking me that. It's getting old. I'm not and never will be." He stepped back. Stepping away. Sally sighed. His mood swings were ridiculous. Worse than her really and she was pregnant for gosh dang sakes. "Did you visit Doc's grave?" She asked. Trying to get him to open up. Lightning grabbed some water from the fridge answering, "Yeah.. We don't have any alcohol, do we?" He asked. Sally's brows raised slightly as she reminded, "We got rid of it all because you had a drinking problem for a while there." "I'm gonna have another problem if I can't drink at some point."

Sally had enough and ran up to him, stepping right into his face, "Enough! I know you are mad and hurt and have every right to be! But you make me feel like crap! I can't take it anymore!" She had it! "I don't deserve to be treated this way! Not if you really want to work things out!" "Maybe I don't!" Lightning shouted back into her face, "Maybe I'm just using you until that god dam hell demon baby comes!" "Then leave!" "Fine!" Lightning shouted and marched out of the kitchen. Sally stood there. Her heart racing. Was he really?… Lightning then walked right back in and shouted, "No! I don't want that!" Sally stared at him from across the kitchen.

Lightning frowned and calmly continued, "I'm sorry. I'm not always trying to be so mean. I'm not sure how to deal with this. I want us, I want you… But…" "Yeah… I know…" Sally frowned. She wished she knew how to make this better for him. "I'm sorry I pushed you at the racing center." She apologized. Lightning sighed. Her wrists did look better. Still bruised, but better. "Sally… I love you.. Please try and be patient. I've never.. I don't…" he couldn't find the words.

Sally nodded replying, "I will be. I'm so sorry.. Would… Would giving you a… I don't know what I'm saying." She began and stopped, blushing. Leaving it at that. "Dinner is ready.." She announced so quietly. Lightning frowned. Not sure why she blushed. Watching her gather plates and dish the food. He hated himself for this. He was frustrated that he couldn't just move on and be fucking happy.

Sally set the plates on the table then grabbed glasses. Pouring water into them and setting them down next to the plates. "Come on, sit." She said. Lightning walked to his chair. Taking a seat. Sally sitting across. Beginning to eat. It was quiet. Just the sound of the forks hitting the plates. Lightning stared at his water. Glancing at Sally. Staring at her. How could she? How could he get over this? Would it be a time thing? Revenge? Pain? How would the trust build back up? Sally suddenly grabbed her mouth and ran to the bathroom. "Sal!?" Lightning called.

Then he heard it. She was sick. Puking her guts out. Lightning sighed. This sucked. Life sucked. Watching Sally being taken over by this pregnancy. She did it to herself though. God, he hated his brain. Putting horrible thoughts and reminders in his head. He just wanted this ti all be over. Whatever it was. Whether they got better and grew close and things went back to the way they were it divorce. He didn't care which one, he just wanted it to hurry up and get over with. Skip ahead to that part.

Lightning clenched his fist. Pain surging through his veins. His eyes teared up. He hated Sally! He fucking hated her. She cheated on him while he was in a fucking coma! He could have died and she would have-she did move on! She went on with Ben! And he let them see each other very god dam year! Lightning hit the table with his fist. His head spinning. Thinking of everything they had built! Everything they had become! They fought for this marriage and she threw it out like trash! Lightning stood up. Wiping his eyes. "I can't do this.." He whispered to himself. He hated her to much! It was fucking hell to make love to her! His anger! He hurt her! He bruised her wrists!

…Lightning marched over, grabbed her right wrist and showed it to her. Her eyes filled with tears as it hurt when he clenched the bruising. She yanked her arm back and away from him. Rubbing her wrist…..

He called her horrible names!

…. "You even taste like a slut." He began stroking his member over her area. Sally looked and watched with anticipation. Lightning pushed the tip of his member to her entrance. "You're a needy little whore, aren't you?" He asked rudely…. "Good girl.. You like this, don't you!? Only a desperate, dirty whore would enjoy this." He snarled….

He drank and was someone else with her.

…. "You want me to fuck you like the god dam whore you are!?" He snapped! "You want me to fuck you like I hate you?" He laughed. "Fine." He growled. Sally grew concerned and the fear in her eyes. He remembered it now….

He scared her!

…Lightning growled in frustration! Grabbing Sally by the shoulders and slamming her back against the wall! "You made things worse! You made me hate myself! I never wanted to hurt you and then you push me and I do that!? This!?" He shouted then grabbed her wrist and showed her it again!…

Sally walked back into the kitchen. She saw Lightning standing there. Clenching his fists. "Lightning?…" She called. Lightning snapped a look at her. His eyes had tears gathering. He was angry. He was hurt. "Lightning.." "You want the truth?" He asked softly. Sally stared a moment. Not sure she did, but, "Yeah…" Lightning let out a sigh. Unclenching his fist. Frowning. He looked at her and admitted, "I know that I can't do this. I can't help you raise that baby.. I can't and… No matter how patient you are with me, I know I can't. I can't stand by your side and support this. It hurts!.." he shouted! "it hurts to love you! It hurts to look at you! I can't think! I can't sleep! I can't breathe around you!" He screamed in pain!

Sally's eyes began to fill with tears. "I try to keep the feelings, these feelings of pain to myself… I try holding the anger back, but you…" he stared at her. "I look at you and… I know that we are just on limited time. I won't stay. I can't. I won't stay with you with that thing. I know it's cruel. I know it makes me a jerk! I promised to stay! I promised to fight for us!" He shouted. Trying his best not to break! Not to cry! "I loved you!" He shouted. "But.. That wasn't enough for you.. Was it?.." he asked. Sally stared at him. A few tears running down her face. Lightning sighed and looked away. "Staying with you right now… It… It's killing me…" Sally hated this. This was their break up. That's what this was.

Sally took a deep breath and said, "You should go.. Or I can.. We… You shouldn't.. You can't fall apart just to stay with me.." Lightning looked at Sally. Both so broken. "No, I want to stay. I want to try." He assured, "Maybe if we just see how it goes and once the baby comes, things will be better and I can do it." Sally closed her eyes. She was done hurting him! She was done pulling him down. She was drowning him! She could not allow him to fall down that hole again! "No!" Sally shouted, grabbing his full attention. "Don't you get it!?" She yelled! Marching up to him and continuing to yell in his face! "I fucked Ben because I didn't care! I didn't care if you made it at that point! I moved on! I wanted Ben!" "Stop trying to push me away!" Lightning snapped!

Sally only yelled, "I'm not trying! I am! This is me telling you the whole story! I wanted Ben! I came onto him! Multiple times! And only once was I drunk! I begged him to fuck me as a distraction and it was all because I wanted him! He was kind and good and I never should have ran away from him from the beginning! I just knew you were going to die! I knew you were not making it out of that! And even if you did!? Oh, I knew you'd choose to go back! Choosing racing over us!" "I said I'd stay!" "I don't want you to stay! I don't want you anymore, Lightning!" She shouted. Lightning's brows lowered. Yeah, it hurt like hell what she was shouting at him, but he saw right through it. "Stop this!" He yelled! Sally marched to the living room and grabbed his suitcase. Walking back and shoving it into his arms, "Leave! Go! Don't come back to me!" She shouted! Breathing heavily!

Lightning stared at her. She was so fucking mean! "Not like this. You don't mean it." He growled. Sally was furious! "You said you can't do this! You said not to drag you along!" "But that's not what's going on here! You can't say things just to hurt me to push me away!" He yelled. Sally pushed him back a little and shouted, "Get the fuck out!" "Stop!" "No! I don't want you here! I don't need you!" "Stop it, Sally!" "Ben is coming anyway! And he actually treats me well! He is nice and caring and loving while you're so fucking cold!" "Don't do this! Stop, Just stop! Stop talking about Ben like that!" "You don't like that!? Then you really won't like how I sucked his god dam member! How I ripped his clothes off as he took me over the table!" Lightning was gonna kill her. He was going to hurt if she didn't shut the hell up!

Lightning placed his hands over his ears and shouted, "Shut up! I don't want to hear this!" "How I walked in his motel and instantly fucked him!" "Stop! Shut up!" "Or how I could feel him pulsing inside me! His huge fucking member filling me with his"-"SHUT UP!" He shouted right in her face, then BAM! Hitting the wall next to him! A slight pause between them "I get it! I get it! Just stop making me hear this! You want me gone! Fine! You're a fucking loose, god dam slutty, easy, manipulative, whiny ass, controlling, lying whore!" Lightning snapped! "You should have just fucking stayed with Ben if that's how you fucking feel! I should have never trusted you! What the hell if wrong with you!? I should take you right here! Right now! SHOW YOU WHAT I REALLY WANT TO DO TO WHORES LIKE YOU! But you could never handle it because you're so fucking weak and pathetic and delicate! You've never been good enough! Never had it in you!! God dammit, Sally!!"

He couldn't take it anymore! He was starting to say things he didn't mean. They stared at one another. Lightning stared at her. Not sure if he wanted to stay and fight or actually leave. He knew she was doing this on purpose. Pushing him away. Surely she didn't mean these nasty things. Lightning took a step back. Thinking. Staring at her. Her tear filled eyes, her red face. She was broken like him. And now he hurt her with his words too. Don't drag this along, right? Lightning hated her.

She was fucking mean. He just scoffed, "Fuck you, you aren't even worth it to me at this point… I'm done." Taking his things and leaving. He stopped at the garage door a moment. Staring at her. Sally looked away. He sighed. "You better change your god dam attitude and start being fucking grateful.. We are going to have a long talk whenever I get back." He warned. So he planned to come back. Taking his suitcase and phone and keys. Sally then snapped, "What's it matter if you won't stay for the baby.." Lightning just stared at her. Fucking Bitch.

Walking to the garage, SLAMming the door behind him. Sally didn't really want him to go. But he just admitted he was going to leave her anyway! The Bolt started up. Sally's heart broke. She wanted to chase after him. Apologize and tell him to come back. But… She heard the Bolt pull out. Leaving. She walked to the couch and sat down. Alone. She lost it and began crying. Hard. They were falling apart. And it was all her fault.. She destroyed them… She ruined them!….

Lightning drove the bolt to the outskirts of town. Staring off at the highway in the distance. He cut off the car. Sitting in the dark. He sighed. Leaning back in the seat. He thought he could do this and that he found a spark. And he did. He could probably forgive Sally for sleeping with Ben really. But the baby. The pregnancy.. He'd be a beta male for life! His entire-their entire rest of his life would be raising the kid that was the fucking symbol of betrayal and the affair. No. He could not do that! He tried convincing himself it was Sally's, the baby would be a part ls Sally. So he'd love it, but no. He just couldn't do it. His eyes filled with tears. He wiped them away. She was such a bitch back there.

Lightning suddenly hit the steering wheel and shouted at the windshield! "How dare you say those things! Why would you push me the fuck away like that! I said I'd try! Isn't that something?! But no! You decide to start rambling on and being bitchy and you're a fucking little cunt! How dare you! Gah!" He hit the steering wheel again. Leaning in his seat and taking a deep breath. "Fuck…" He growled. His heart… His love her for her was just started to turn to anger and rage! Whatever phase this was, was making him boil alive in hate. Lightning turned the Bolt on and drove on. Yeah, he'd come back home to her at some point. But he needed space! He needed a break from her and her hurtful words!…
