Lightning woke up with groan. He felt like crap. Rolling over in the hotel bed, surrounded by bottles of alcohol. He sighed. Staring up at the ceiling. Fuck. That fight was huge. It hurt. Her words were sharp. Why did she do that? Why did she push him away so suddenly? Fuck. Did she really want to be with Ben? He started to think so after that. Like really. What the hell was wrong with her? He did mess up telling her couldn't help raise the kid. He was just venting. Trying to talk. Trying to stay. Talk to her. He went the wrong way about it, didn't he?
Lightning sat up and stared towards the window. Now what? What was he to do? Home wasn't home anymore. He should just end it. Kill himself and save everyone the fucking trouble. He started thinking that way. He fell right back into the depression. This moment. He accepted it. He accepted the darkness that had been trying to get in sense he found out Sally and betrayed him. He sighed. He was done. Ready for the great god above to take him. Lightning lay back down in bed. Just done…
Sense he couldn't go home. And he didn't want to travel back to Texas right now with the racer a few hours drive away, he stayed in the motel until race day.
Lightning walked through the trailers and garages. Looking for Cruz's. Get her on the track and practicing a bit. Walking by all of the rookies. Seeing them hang out, laugh, chat. Reminded him of his younger days a bit. With Bobby and Cal. Lightning stopped outside a garage. 51. Finally. He walked up and knocked on the door. He heard… Rustling around. "Cruz?" Lightning whispered as he opened the door. His eyes widened! Cruz was leaning on her race car, the top half of her suit open, her breasts out, her face glued to some other young racer. His hand gripping her right breast. Cruz's eyes widened and she shoved the racer back in panic!
Covering her top half with her suit and zipping it up as she yelled! "Mr. McQueen!" The young man turning and glaring at Lightning. Cruz turned bright red! "It's not what it looks like!" Cruz shouted. The male racer rolled his eyes and growled, "Not like I was getting anywhere." Cruz glared at him then snapped, "Just get out!" The man sighed and left. Bumping into Lightning's shoulder keep as he left. Lightning blushed and apologized, "Sorry.. I.. I didn't mean"-"it's fine. Kind of saved me there, actually. He was a jerk and not a great kisser." Lightning stared at Cruz. Not sure what to say. Cruz pulled her hair back into a pony tail then walked up to Lightning and asked, "Why were you avoiding me after last week? I called and texted. You do have a phone still, don't you?" she asked.
Suddenly she noticed Lightning's face. He was blushing. "You okay?" She asked. Lightning stared at her. Glancing at her breasts before back up to her eyes. "Yeah, of course. I.. I had some.. Things going on.. Sorry." He apologized. Cruz crossed her arms. Saying something, but Lightning was staring at her chest. Not meaning to. But when she crossed her arms, it lifted her breasts. And he knew she had nothing underneath that suit! "What?" He asked. Looking back up into her eyes. Cruz rolled her eyes and repeated, "I was asking if you wanted to go out and get some practice laps in and I was asking how things are with Sally." Lightning's brows lowered. Not wanting to think of that fucking bitch.
"Yeah, no. I don't want to talk about it. Let's go get some practice laps in." "Great!" Cruz exclaimed and began to head out. Lightning blocked the door and asked, "Aren't you forgetting something?" Cruz only raised a brow. "Like what?" "I don't know, a bra!" Lightning snapped! Cruz blushed then glanced down at her chest. "I wasn't wearing one before. It's not like anyone is going to see them on the track." She scoffed. Lightning stared at her. She? She wasn't wearing one before!? Lightning slapped himself in the forehead then opened the door for his racer. "Just get on the track.." he whined. Cruz didn't understand what was so wrong and left. Opening the garage up then getting in the car and heading to the track.
Lightning realized that Cruz must not have remembered what had happened between them last week. That was probably for the best anyway….
Cruz frowned as she got out the race car. She lost. Jackson ran up to her and wrapped an arm around her, "Nice try today, costume girl." He teased. "No worries. You could always go back to training old guys after this." Cruz pushed Storm away and gave him a disgusted look. Storm chuckled and walked away. Lightning walked up and assured, "You did great. You'll get him next week." Cruz sighed and mumbled, "Yeah, just kind of hurts. What if I was like some one hit wonder?" "Nah. You're better than that." That did make her smile. Bbbzzzz Lightning felt his phone. Grabbing it out of his pocket. His eyes widened slightly.
Cruz noticed and asked, "What's wrong?" "Nothing… I… I should take this.." he said and walked out of the pits. Cruz waved him goodbye shouting, "I'll catch up in a sec!" Then Cruz was approached by the racer she was making out with earlier. He took her hand and asked, "Should we continue our session from earlier?" Cruz looked up in his eyes before answering, "Um.. You know, I was kind of thinking, uh.. No.. Sorry. Just.. Wasn't that into it." The young man scoffed and walked on. Cruz frowned a bit. It wasn't just that. He wasn't who she really wanted and she… She was nervous. She had never went to far with sex. She was still a virgin. Never had sex with anyone. Cruz sighed then the team congratulated her on second place. She smiled. Cameras took a few pics then she decided to catch up with Lightning. Not sure where he went though. So she headed to the trailer and garage.
Sure enough, as Cruz walked around the neighboring trailer, she heard him yelling. Cruz his behind the trailer. Peeking around. He was yelling into his phone. So she kept hidden and heard his side of the conversation. Watching.
Lightning paced a bit. Shouting into the device, "He shouldn't be there with you! Not like that! Not after the fucking shit you said! I'm not comfortable with that!….. …. And what!? I don't care what you are, get him out!…. ….Or you just want to fuck him again. …. ……No! I told you I'd come back!.. What's wrong with you? Why are you breathing like that?….. ……Sally!" Then he glanced at the phone screen. He sighed then reared back and BAM, punching the trailer. He was pissed. Cruz thought a moment. What was going on? She wondered. So she decided to act like she didn't hear any of it. Walking up to him. He turned pale and wide eyed. Cruz smiled and said, "I think we deserve some time to relax after that stressful race." Her smile so serene.
Lightning sighed, "I'm good." No he wasn't. Cruz could tell. She stared at him and replied, "The next race is California. Let's go to the beach there. Rent a beach house. Oh! We could go to the beach! Enjoy the sun, get some sand in our toes! It'll be great!" She exclaimed. Lightning snickered. She was cute. But his slight smile didn't last. Something was really bothering him and she wanted to help. Cruz's smile faded as she spoke softly now, "Mr. McQueen,you can talk to me. Tell me anything. Don't you trust me?" She asked. Lightning just rolled his eyes. Cruz hated this. If he would just talk to her!
Lightning looked away before replying, "Let's just go back to the motel.. Get some sleep.. I'm pretty tired." He admitted. His tone was low.. He was quiet. Shutting her out. Cruz watched him walk into the trailer. She wished he would just open up. She truly just wanted to help him….
It wasn't a very far drive to the motel. The traffic made it worse though. Cruz was sitting in the trailer. Sitting on the couch. Lightning next to her leaned over. Curled up and passed out asleep already. She gazed at him. Watching him sleep and snore. She snickered. He was cute when he was sleeping. Luigi and Guido were cleaning up the race car a bit. Just wiping her down a bit. Cruz watched them. Glancing and gazing at Lightning every now and then. Finally, the truck stopped. Mack got out and walked around. Opening the side door. "We're here." He announced. Mack, Luigi and Guido headed inside.
Cruz stood up then shook Lightning gently. "Mr. McQueen… We're at the motel… Wake up." She said softly. Lightning slowly opened his eyes. He sat up. Looking up at Cruz a moment before standing and walking out of the trailer without saying a word. Cruz frowned. He was so stressed and.. And depressed. She really just wanted to help. They all walked in. Getting keys to their rooms. Cruz began to head to the elevator when she stopped and noticed that Lightning went the other way. She ran back to him and asked, "Where are you going? Rooms are that way." She said and pointed with a smile. Lightning sighed admitting, "I'm going to the hotel bar downstairs." "Oh…" "Go to bed, Cruz." he ordered with a growl. Walking off to the steps and disappearing. Cruz frowned. Standing there a moment before heading to the elevator, to her room…
Cruz sat on the couch in the dark. Eating some popcorn and watching tv. She sighed. Worried about Lightning. Cruz grabbed the remote and shut off the tv. Setting her bowl on the coffee table. She stood up and decided to go down and find him. Maybe sense he had a few drinks by now he would be willing to open up to her! So with a smirk, Cruz slipped some jeans on and shoes and headed down to the bar.
She walked in and found him sitting at the bar. Drinking from a glass. Cruz walked up, sitting next to him as she greeted, "Hey, Mr. McQueen!" Smiling as ever. Lightning didn't even look at her. Just stared into his glass as he asked, "What are you doing here, Cruz?.." "Come on, Mr. McQueen.. Talk to me. What's wrong?" She asked. Lightning drank the rest of his drink then waved for another. Cruz was concerned. The bartender brought another and Lightning immediately began drinking it. Cruz sighed and asked, "How many drinks have you had?.." Lightning looked at her. Sipping his drink, "Not enough." He answered.
Cruz stared. She didn't really like this side of him. She never imagined that he was drunk. This was the great Lightning McQueen! Lightning then chugged down his drink. Finishing it within minutes. Cruz frowned and asked again, "Come on, what's going on? Nothing is worth drinking yourself away like this." He ignored her. Finishing his glass and waving for another. Cruz lowered her brows then shot her hand up in the air and shouted, "I'll have what he's having!" Then slamming her id on the table. Lightning stared at her. The fuck? The bartender brought a glass to each of them. Lightning asking, "What do you think you are doing?"
Cruz took the glass in her hand and stared into it. She took a sip then "Oh my god…" She coughed then almost vomited in her mouth! "This is disgusting! And it burns! Why do you drink this? It's so strong and bitter." Lightning chuckled a bit answering, "I just needed to forget some things." Cruz stared at him. He looked so tired. Bags under his eyes. At least he smiled though. Lightning finished this glass to then waved for another. Cruz frowned and reminded, "Drinking won't make you forget whatever it is, Mr. McQueen.." "It will for a bit." He corrected. The bar tender brought him another and a small shot along with it. The man smiling, "On the house. You've been my best customer of the night." He said. Lightning nodded to him once.
Taking the shot the sipping his drink. Cruz stared. He was drunk. Lightning was drunk. And it hurt her. She just never imagined her role model like this. "Mr. McQueen.. Please… What is going on that makes you feel getting drunk is the only way out?" "It's not my only way out, just the best way." He answered. Sipping his drink. Cruz had enough. She had to cheer him up! It was her mission of the day! Night. Mission of the night! "Alright!" She shouted suddenly. "I'm gonna drink just as much as you!" Then took the glass and began chugging it down! Lightning stared at her. His eyes widening as she swallowed the entire beverage. Cruz slammed the glass down then belched, covering her mouth and blushing. "Excuse me.." Lightning snickered with a smile. Cruz then raised her hand, "Another one, Sir!"
A little impressed. But he knew she would be completely wasted pretty quickly if she tried this. And then she'd leave him alone to wallow in self pity. So he didn't stop her.
Cruz drank a few more full glasses and it didn't take long for her to wind up drunk as hell. Cruz barely able to even sit without falling off the dam stool. That was enough. Lightning stood up and paid the bartender, leaving a good tip. Then her wrapped an arm around Cruz and helped her walk back up to her room. Cruz giggling and muttering crap that made no sense the entire way up. Lightning just had to get her to bed then he could go to his room, drown in more alcohol and pass out. That was the plan. Cruz may have been drunk.
But she wasn't drunk enough not to notice Lightning's very broad and nice arms and shoulders. Lightning helped Cruz into her room. Sitting her on the couch. "I'll get you some water." He said. Walking to the kitchen and grabbing a glass. His vision blurry. But he managed. He walked back. Stumbling a bit. Setting the glass in the table. Spilling a little of the water. Woops. Cruz smiled up at Lightning and it creeped him out. Her drunken smile was weird. Didn't look good this time on her. "I'm heading to bed, Cruz. So stay her and rest. Get some sleep." He ordered. Cruz stood up. Wobbling. Grabbing his hand and whimpering, "You… You sssshhouldn't be-be alone.. You're drunk and… And like super upset." No, she was drunk. He was tipsy. he sighed.
Lightning wondering if he should leave Cruz alone now or not. "Fine." He growled. "I'll stay for a bit." Cruz squealed like a little girl then stumbled and walked to her room. Lightning stood there a moment. Not sure if he should follow or wait or sneak out while he had the chance. Cruz came back out wearing a baggy t shirt and… Cheeky boxer like panties. He could see them. Lightning's eyes widened. she looked hot. Had to admit that. She was a hot mess right now. Lightning shook his head. Maybe he was drunk after all. He sat on the couch and Cruz stumbled over. Falling next to him. She then nestled in next to him. Snuggling up against him. Lightning didn't mind it. Didn't fight it. Just sat with her.
Cruz let out a sigh with a smile, "This is nice." She admitted. It was. Sort of. Lightning ignited her. Leaving his head back on the couch. Closing his eyes. He could feel it. He was drunk after all. Drunk and tired. Suddenly Cruz asked, "Want to talk to-to me about it?" Lightning opened his eyes. Looking down at her cute and big brown eyes. He could probably vent to her. Hell, she was so drunk that she probably wouldn't never remember it! So fuck it. Why not. He stared at her a moment more than leaned his head back and admitted, "Sally slept with someone." Cruz pushed back and faked loudly and dramatically! Sally didn't seem like the type to cheat! "What!? What happened!?" Cruz asked in awe!
Lightning sighed, "Just… After the accident while I was unconscious.. In the hospital." Then he looked at Cruz and chuckled, "The best part is that it was with her ex husband!" Cruz snickered, "For real!? Wait! She was married before you!?" She asked. Lightning laughed before adding, "And she's pregnant with the fucker's baby." Cruz stared. Did she hear that right!? "Seriously!?" She squealed! Lightning nodded with a chuckle. Finding it rather funny for some reason. Cruz only replied, "That is really mmmmessed up, Mr Mr. McQueen." Lightning nodded. Yeah, it was. Cruz then stood up. Wobbly for a moment. She turned and stood in front of Lightning and looked down at him while he looked up at her.
She placed her hands on his knees as she bent over. Staring at him now directly in the eyes. Lightning blushed and asked, "What are you doing?…" Cruz softly speaking his name, "Mr. McQueen…" Lightning swallowed nervously with a "Yes?.." he could feel his member beginning to wake. Blood rushing to his lower body. Fuck. "I know I'm drunk…" She admitted. Rubbing her hands up into his inner thighs. "Please take me… But please…" She pleaded in a sexy and soft tone of voice. Lightning stared scared into her eyes. Cruz's hands rubbing into his thighs. One of her hands moving over his member. Rubbing over the zipper of his jeans. Lightning stared. Not taking his eyes away from hers. Fuck. His member growing with need. Fuck!
After rubbing for a moment, Cruz pulled her hand away and straddled his lap. God her panties were thin! She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned in. He didn't stop her. She kissed the side of his face. That smell. Toasted caramel mixed with alcohol. Fuck! Lightning's member was busting to get free! Cruz kissed his neck again then moving to his left ear, she bit the lobe gently. Lightning felt the electric shock flow through his body! This was too much! He couldn't take it! Lightning gently pushed her next to him on the couch and said, "Not okay, Cruz…" then he stood up. Cruz stared at the bulge in his jeans. Biting her lower lip as she gazed with hunger at his bulge. "I should go." Lightning announced.
Cruz jumped up and shouted, "Wait! I'm sorry.. I just.. I've always wanted you.." Lightning stared at Cruz. His heart hurt. After what Sally did, the words she used. Lightning shook his head and whined, "I'm sorry.. I messed up.. I.." "No! You are soooo perfect." Cruz corrected as she walked over and grabbed Lightning's belt. Pulling him close against her body. Her nose not even an inch close to his. Lightning's heart was beating through his chest. Cruz giggled. God, it was cute when she did that. Then looking down she began loosening his belt. Lightning had really mixed feelings. He needed to stop this. Stop her and get out of here! If he let her go through with this, their relationship would never be the same! As for Sally? Fuck Sally.
He wasn't caring about her little whore ass right now. But Cruz. If he-"Cruz!" He yelped as he felt her lips wrap around his member. Snapping him out of his thoughts! He looked down and Cruz was on her knees. Sucking down about half his length! Bobbing her head back and fourth. But never taking his full length. "Awe… Fuck.." He growled. It felt absolutely amazing. Her mouth was so god dam wet. Then Cruz dropped his member from her mouth and licked it from about the middle to the tip. Making sure the entire top of her tongue wiped the underside of his member. Lightning moaned quietly.
Cruz taking his member back into her mouth. Gripping in near the base with her hand as she bobbed back and fourth from tip to middle. So much saliva. Dam. Then she sucked down, swallowing. Making her tongue press his member against the roof of her mouth. "Cruz…" He husked. Cruz looked up. "Oh fuck.." Lightning muttered as he looked down into her big brown eyes. She was so beautiful. Inexperienced for sure. But warm and wet and fuck this felt good. Lightning blushed a bit smiling at her, "That's a good girl." He praised in drunk instinct. Cruz popped his member from her mouth. Staring up at him. Taken surprise by what he just said. She liked it! So he was the type to praise huh? Well, Cruz was a pleaser.
So this would immediately take a turn if they continued. Cruz stood up. Staggering a bit. She grabbed his member. Stroking it with her left hand as her right arm wrapped over Lightning's shoulder. She leaned in close and Lightning leaned the rest of the way. Their lips pressing together. Cruz moaned against his lips. Lightning opening his mouth and Cruz's tongue dancing with his. Lightning groaned a bit. His member now harder than before. The way her grip tightened as they made out. Lightning growled into her mouth. Cruz needed air! She bit his lower lips as she pulled back. Letting go and gasping a bit.
Lightning gently pushed back, guiding Cruz to lay on the couch. Him crawling over and continuing to make out with her. His hard member pressing against her thin panties. Cruz moaned into his mouth even more. Lightning then went to her neck. Kissing and sucking her neck. Cruz dug her nails into his shoulder blades. Lightning pushing his member in against her panties. Cruz whined and wrapped her legs around his hips. Then breathing heavily, "I… I've.. Never done it." Lightning didn't understand and continued to suck her neck. Reaching between then and grabbing one of her breast. His member pushing into her area through her panties. Cruz suddenly jolted upwards.
Pushing away a little and lying beneath him. Lightning looked down into her eyes and asked, "What?" Cruz seemed worried. She nervously admitted, "I'm.. I… See.. I… I'm a virgin." Lightning stared at her. What? She was serious!? He did not think she was a virgin. She was so young and pretty and fun and.. A virgin. Fuck. She wasn't that young! Lightning stood up and put himself away. He shouldn't be doing this anyway! Fuck! Cruz stood up and took his hands, "No, I want this. I want you to be my first." "No, I get rough when I drink.." Lightning admitted. But come on, he was rough anyway. Cruz frowned with disappointment saying, "I can take it. I'll do anything for you, Mr. McQueen, Sir." Awe come on!
She was begging for it! Lightning knew he could accidentally hurt her though. And she'd never had sex!? Oh no. No, no, no! He already fucked up doing what they did! "I'm so sorry." Lightning apologized. "I've really messed up here… I.. I shouldn't have influenced you to drink or do this. This is not okay, I'm… Sally…" He frowned. God dammit, Sally. Cruz shook her head and snapped, "She slept with someone else when you needed her most! She went off and fucked her ex while you couldn't do anything about it! Then, didn't even tell you until she had to!" Lightning stared at Cruz. She wasn't wrong. Lightning sighed. "Good night, Cruz… I'm so sorry…" He apologized again. But fuck he wanted her! He then headed to the door. Leaving. Closing the door softly behind him.
Lightning walked into his room and closed the door. Fuck. He was drunk, he was barely able to walk, barely able to think and now he fucked up. He messed with his and Cruz's relationship! Things would never be the same! That hurt so badly because he really liked her! He really enjoyed her company! And now it would be so awkward! Lightning whined and leaned against the door. Sliding down to the floor. "Why do I mess everything up?…" He whimpered to himself. He was just going to lose Cruz and the little happiness she gave him now to. He was just going to lose everything and have to quit coaching her, he could not deal with Sally, with Ben, now this. He was nothing but a screw up….
Lightning walked out of his room and headed to the lobby. Checking out of the hotel early and.. Heading home. This was messed up. He needed to talk to Sally in person and both of them needed to remain calm. Hopefully she wouldn't try pushing him away again. Cruz. Fuck. He really messed up. He was just going to avoid her. Again. Hopefully she was so drunk that she didn't remember anything because it was so wrong. He was her mentor, teacher, coach.. Friend. And he fucked that up too. He knew she wanted him from the moment their relationship took a turn and he lead her on. "Mr. McQueen!" Cruz called from across the lobby.
Lightning sighed, "Fuck.." He really wanted to avoid her. Cruz rushed over and greeted, "Good morning." "Yeah, morning." "How are you feeling?" She asked. Lightning glanced at her before answering, "Like shit. I'm tired. I'm going back home." "To Sally? But.." she paused. Lightning handing the key card to the guy up at the desk then beginning to walk with his suitcase to the front of the motel. Cruz following and asking, "What about us? Couldn't we get some training in? We could go to the track and"-"How do you not feel like crap?" He asked as he stopped. Staring at her. She was completely drunk last night! How was she so fine and happy and ready to get into a race car?
Cruz shrugged. Lightning just rolled his eyes and continued outside. Trying to grab a cab. Cruz stood behind him. Hesitant. "Mr. McQueen…" she called. Lightning glanced at her. Staring and asking, "What?" Cruz frowned a moment. A cab pulled up. The driver coming around and getting Lightning's suitcase. "What about the Bolt?" Cruz asked. Remembering he drove it here. Lightning snickered, "Mack is hauling her with your race car for me. I need to go home, Cruz.." Bur his voice. He was not happy about going home. Cruz understood. "Okay… I'll see you next week, right?" She asked with a smile. Lightning nodded then got into the cab. Closing the door and the driver pulled off. Cruz watched him go. She wanted to talk about last night. But… She let him go… Not wanting to push him or upset him any more than he already was about going home….
Lightning walked into his home. Setting his suit case down. He sighed. He didn't want to fight. Please not another fight. "Sal!…" He called. "I… I'm home…" he called. Frowning. He hated this. He just knew they were going to fight again. It was so quiet though. He looked up and saw her keys. So the car just be here. She must be home. Unless Ben came and picked her up. Lightning rolled his eyes at the thought. "Sal?" He called again. "Can we talk? Like… Actually talk?" He asked loudly. Walking though the living room. Not there. Not in the kitchen. He walked down the hall and to the bedroom. Lightning pushed the bedroom door open, "Sally?" He called.
Then he froze.
She was in the floor! Just laying there! "Sally!" He shouted and ran to her. Kneeling down and shaking her! "Sally!" She was lifeless. "Oh god." He whimpered as he checked for a pulse on her neck. He sighed with relief. He felt a pulse. "Sally! Sally wake up!" He shouted. Nothing. She was knocked out! From what!? Lightning picked her up. Her body completely limp! "I gotcha. It's going to be okay." He was panicking though. Fuck! Running out the door. Barely able to hold her as he opened it. Running across the street to the clinic and through this e swinging doors! "Somebody help me! Please! She's unconscious!" A nurse ran to him and then a doctor. Running and grabbing a bed. Lightning lay Sally on it and they took her away. He stood there. Scared. Tears filling his eyes. What the hell just happened!?….
A few hours went by. Maybe two. People were staring at him as they came in and out the ER. He was pale and panicking. His leg tapping up and down. He was so worried. His heart beating so hard and so fast. "Please be okay.." He whispered, "I'm so sorry.." thinking of the last time they spoke. Fuck. He really messed up! Finally a doctor came out calling, "McQueen." Lightning immediately stood up and walked over. "This way." He said. Lightning followed the man and asked, "Is Sally okay?" The doctor nodded answering, "She will be, once the baby comes." "What?" Lightning didn't understand. "What does that mean!?" He panicked, following the man.
The man explained, "The fetus is drowning her nutrients. Her kidneys and liver can't keep up. I'm going to admit her and keep her until the baby comes." "But that's months away!" "Yes…" "Can't you like… Give her something?" Lightning asked. Desperate to find a way to get his wife home! The doctor frowned answering, "If I send her home, this will only happen again. And it could be worse. Brian damage, a seizure, she could lose the baby, Mr. McQueen." Trying to press how serious this was. Lightning could not believe this! Now the dam baby was taking her from him! The doctor stopped at a door, "She's awake and okay now. You can see her. I'll get her moved into a permanent room shortly." Then he left. Lightning sighed.
Hesitating going inside. He opened the door and stared at Sally as he closed it. "Sal…" He called. But Sally looked away in shame. Lightning frowned and walked over to her. "You're going to be okay.." he assured. Sally didn't like okay. Not mentally. Not emotionally. She was broken. "Sally.." He began then a knock. The door opened and Ben walked in. Lightning's brows lowered as he growled, "What the fuck are you doing here?" Ben walked to the other side of Sally before answering, "I'm here for my baby and Sally. The nurse called me." "Why!?" "Because Sally had me placed as an emergency contact, Lightning." Ben explained. Oh that hurt! Lightning looked at Sally but she wouldn't even look at him!
What the fuck was happening? Ben placed his hand over the baby and leaned in close to Sally asking, "How's our boy?" Sally sniffled. Trying not to cry. Lightning stepped back a bit. He wasn't part of this family. "You know the gender?" He asked. Sally finally looked at him. "Found out last week.. Didn't think you cared." She said. Lightning was furious with his wife. Ben brushed Sally's hair with his hand. Kissing the top of her head. Oh fuck no! Lightning was going to kill him! Lightning walked right up to Ben, grabbing the collar of his shirt when, "Lightning, STOP!" Sally scolded! Lightning looked at Ben in the eyes. Sally continuing, "I want him here. You should go." Ben snickered with a smile.
He won. Lightning let the man go and looked at Sally. Broken. Defeated. "What?…" he asked. Sally sighed and replied, "I'm tired… I missed you, but.. You don't want this. You don't want to be involved…" She reminded. Lightning just stared at her. Ben then saying, "I got this. You can go." Lightning glanced at Ben. God dammit! Sally wanted Ben!? Seriously!? Lightning's heart broke! How could she. "Is this about our fight?" Lightning asked. Sally looked away before answering, "Not entirely. But yes… Ben is the father of the baby." "I said I would try!" Lightning yelled! Trying desperately to hold onto whatever was left! Sally looked at him and snarled, "Stop acting like you care and want to try to be involved! Stop lying to yourself and me! You know you can't handle it, so just go… I'll be okay."
Lightning stared at her. His heart hurt! "Fine!" He snapped and left. Leaving without another word to that fucking bitch! How dare she! How dare she continue to push him away like this!
Lightning returned home! Angry! He walked into the garage. Usually the Bolt would be there to help him but fuck! Sally's car was parked in the garage. The bolt was in the trailer god knows where! Lightning stared at the blue Porsche. Angry! Broken! Falling apart! He grabbed a wrench and through it at the car hard! The tool bouncing off the car and hitting him right in the knee! "Fuck!" He shouted as he fell to the ground in pain. And he broke. Lightning began to cry. The tears falling from his face and to the cold garage floor. "Fuck!" He shouted in pain. Not his knee. His heart! He lost her. She was pushing away and he didn't understand why!
He wanted to fight! He wanted to try! "Fuck! God dammit! Fuck!" He shouted at the floor! He had NEVER felt this much pain before! The pain taking him over! The heart ache making him physically sick! Lightning grabbed his stomach tightly. He was hurting. His body shutting down on him. He didn't want to lose her! Not over this! Please! "I'm sorry…" He cried. Trying to calm down but nothing was going to calm him down. He had never cried like this before! What was wrong with him, he wondered. Why couldn't he control himself, stop the pain, stop crying, stop screaming. "I'm sorry!" He shouted at the floor. But nothing. NOTHING was ending this pain….
