~ Outside The Speedway ~ (Lightning McQueen x OC)

Chapter 30

He crashed down and over the edge.

He was gone.

Gone.

The desert cliff seemed much deeper, and much, much darker now. It looked like an ocean abyss.

And he drove right into it.

I ran as far as my legs could take me, screaming. But my screams were silent.

When I got to the edge, I fell to my knees and carefully looked down at the sight before me.

Nothingness.

Not his car, nor himself. No cacti or sand or dirt. Not a single dead piece of grass.

Nothingness.

I screamed some more and looked behind me for help, only to see more of the black abyss.

I was surrounded by it.

And so I cried for help once again, not only for him but for myself too.

Then I heard a click behind me.

When I turned, tears running down my cheeks I could make out a figure in the blurriness. A figure that looked strikingly similar to Chris Silvers.

And he was holding a gun. One aimed right at me.

He pulled the trigger while I was still sobbing for help.

And when I woke up I wasn't aware of the fact I was actually screaming my lungs out.

When I put my hand over my mouth, tears started to escape my eyes to replace the yelling.

It was a horrifying dream, I don't know how to describe it. The darkness was like a mist, weird tendrils reaching towards me. From what I remember anyway.

I tried to calm myself down, but the images of him falling down the cliff scared me even more.

And... Chris.

The psychopathic outline of a smile on his face made me shudder.

I looked up to try and find peace in the moon, but unfortunately, it was covered by clouds. I started getting panicky when I couldn't see it at first, but the slightest sliver of Luna put some of me to rest.

Seconds later I finally felt peace reach my bed.

He climbed it slowly, waiting for a negative reaction. When I didn't give one, he sat behind me, pulling my waist towards his body. I sat on my side, against his chest, between his legs, while he pulled up the covers and wrapped it around us in a comforting manner.

I clung to his shirt and savored the feeling of his arms around me.

"Promise me you won't drive off a cliff again?" I half-joked in a whisper. I bet he was thinking about what happened a few days ago, but I was actually mentioning my dream. He didn't need to know that right now though.

He gave me a short laugh. "Unless I'm amped up on my amazing catchphrase, I promise."

I nodded, breathing out a laugh as well. It was short-lived but it brightened my mood a little.

"...Promise you won't leave me unexpectedly?" I asked, very serious this time. He responded almost immediately. "Promise."

He kissed the top of my head and fixed himself to have us both laying down. I was still on top, but neither of us seemed to mind.

Up until now, I had my doubts that Lightning liked me. But now, there was no goddamn way he didn't. He had feelings for me, and that was a fact. The way he acts towards me, the words he says, and the things he does. They scream romance.

I had feelings for him too, I just don't know what happens next.

I didn't want to make the first move, obviously because I was scared in case I was completely off and all he wanted to be was close friends.

But a close friend doesn't kiss the other's neck while pushing them up and against a wall now do they, Olivia?

In an oxymoron of happy accidents, my internal voice stating what happened two days before was very much correct.

I felt a surge of confidence flow through me, and I decided something in the spur of the moment.

Screw being anxious. Screw everything holding me back. Screw Sally and her bad habit of pushing into what isn't hers.

He's mine. And I don't give a fuck about anything else.
