Best friends to PR - lando Norris

My girl

Charles

I wasn't prepared for what she would look like attached to this many machines, she is beyond pale. Flashbacks to the car accident flood my brain "what are you doing here?" Lando asks angrily "Alex called, he explained how serious this is" I can't bring my voice much above a whisper. He glares at me "this isn't like before, she is my girl" he bluntly states "I know that Lando, but I still care about her" his expression softens "did Alex explain what happened?" I shake my head "she got stabbed twice and has some broken ribs from the CPR" he stops "she has some organ damage and won't be able to eat properly for a while, he meant to kill her, if I hadn't got home early he would've" his expression goes dark and I know he is blaming himself just like I did after the car accident. Before I can say anything George speaks "this is all on James, none of this is your fault Lando" we all make sounds of agreement "I know but I feel responsible, she shouldn't have been alone" at this moment I know exactly how this feels "Lando this happened when he hit her with the car, I still feel guilty to this day but please don't do this to yourself" I take a few steps closer and put my hands on his shoulders "she loves you" I remind him and turn my focus to Molly who is laying deadly still in the hospital bed.

Not much has been said since Charles' admission earlier, we've been sat waiting for a doctor to come speak to Lando and Mols mum. She looks beyond pale, I can't get my head around what has happened. She was with me and then he managed to her. The door opening disrupts my chain of thought, a doctor enters the room "wow there are quite a few of you here" he mumbles "Mrs Lanes?" He looks around the room "that's me, please tell me what is going on!" She pleads "okay so I'm assuming you know that Molly had two stab wounds when she was brought to the hospital, luckily there was no major damage to her liver, however her left kidney had to be removed during her surgery" everyone is hanging on this doctors words "you can live with one kidney though?" Alex asks "you absolutely can, the issue is the damage to her stomach, it is quite extensive and she will be fed by a central line directly into her blood stream, this comes with its own risks and her stomach will still struggle to digest and food we give her so solid food will be a no go for quite some time" the shock seems to ripple across the room "will she recover from this?" Her mum asks "her brain was starved of oxygen for longer than it can cope with, the tube in her throat is helping her to breathe, we just need to wait to see if she wakes up" this all feels like before, we waited and she woke up, she has to wake up. I've relied on her so much since the season started, she is my absolute best friend I need her to wake up. "We shall check in on her every hour, if you need to ask anything at all just pop round to the nurses station and we will try our very best to give you answers" he gives a small smile as he exits the room.

Lando

Once the doctor goes it is completely silent, everyone is struggling to process the information. I find myself getting up and walking out of the door, I make my way out of the hospital and take a seat on a bench near the entrance. My head rests in my hands, what am I going to do without her? We have been through too much together, we deserve happiness, we deserve our future. "Lando?" My mum takes a seat next to me "I thought I would make sure you are okay" her arm wraps around my shoulders and I can't hold back my tears any longer. This is all a mess, an absolute mess. "Why her?" I ask my mum "Oh sweetheart, that man is completely to blame for all of this. He was clearly obsessed with Molly and it's unfair and it's cruel but it isn't anything to do with either of you" I look up at my mum "I can't do any of this without her" she nods sadly "you won't have to she will get better, she will wake up" her confidence in Mols recovery makes me calm down "she has to mum, she has too" we stay seated on the bench for around an hour not talking just watching the hustle and bustle of the hospital "I'm going to head back in" mum breaks the silence "okay, I will come too" I stand stretching out my arms. We make our way back to Mols room and everyone is having a chat once we arrive "you okay Lands?" George asks as he offers me the seat he had been in holding Mols hand. "Yeah I just needed a bit of time" he nods sitting down next to me. I wrap my hand over Mols and give it a gentle squeeze waiting stupidly for a squeeze in return.

It's time to head back to Monaco, it's been a week since Mol went into hospital and so far there has been no change. In good news though the police have found DNA evidence to place James at the house and are now attempting to track him down. I've been staying with Lando which has been slightly awkward but I'm grateful that he offered. He is often not even home as he mainly stays at the hospital now. We are on summer break which is good news as we have all wanted to stay with Mols, it's been Lando, George and me mainly as Max and Alex had media duties with Red Bull! I'm glad I came as it was touch and go her first night in the hospital but I need to be in Maranello on Friday so I need to be in Monaco today. "Right I'm heading to the airport now" I let Lando know, who is in the kitchen "okay sure, cool, thanks for being here I know we all appreciated it" I smile "thanks for letting me stay, please call me if there are any changes" I ask and he nods "of course, have a good flight" we say goodbye and I fling my bag into the back of the hire car I've had this week. It all felt surreal, like a nightmare but I know she will get better, she has too, she is the glue that holds all of us together.

Charles has just left and I oddly feel quite upset that he is gone, he has been a huge support this last week. He's been through this before in what is now my position, it's also been nice to see that he really cares about her still. I reckon we will come out of this as friends again. It's been tough seeing her in that hospital bed with no changes. We all need her to get better, to be better. Max has taken this harder than I expected as they have quite a new friendship but this is the magic that Mols has, she makes everyone feel like the most important person in the room. She has this talent to always make you feel special. She is the only person I wanted to spend all of my time with, the only person I want to wake up with, she is it for me. A harsh realisation hits me, it will always be her! Once she wakes up I think I'm going to have a very important question to ask. It might be a bit soon but I have loved this girl since I was 6 years old and we have been stupid with our time. I don't want to wait for the right moment because who knows what's going to happen in the future. I'm done with waiting for the right moment.
We have been through too much together but I am certain that I love her.

I arrived at the hospital just after lunch, Mols mum stayed last night and I'm going to stay with her tonight. I've just been sat chatting about everything and nothing to Mols in the hope that she will wake up. I have much to confess and I just hope that I'm not too little too late.
