For what it's worth

Chapter 7

"Lando"-Y/n
"Don't ask if you don't want to know the answer" he says as he sees me looking at his hand.
"Lando who's blood is on you" I ask.
He looks me in the eyes "don't be mad, but am... George"
"I told you not to do anything, I didn't want drama between the two teams" I say
"I couldn't not do anything, he hurt you, and since you weren't going to hurt him back, I did it for you"-L
I get butterflies in my stomach. I can't help but think, does he really care about me that much?
"Lando I don't need you to stand up for me I can stand up for myself" I say getting off the bed.
"I know, I was just protecting you"-L
I walk to the bathroom and get a wet towel to clean Landos hand with.
"Never again, ok stop hitting people. You'll lose your seat if anyone finds out"-Y/n
I grab his hand a whip it with the towel softly
There's a knock on the door and lando gets up to open it.
"No, I'll get it. If it's George he'll be looking for you" I say
I walk to the door and open it
"Oh hi zak how are you"-Y/n
"Just wondering if you know where lando is? No ones seen him since he am... I don't know if you know but he got in a fight with George and no one has seen him since."-Zak
"Oh no I haven't sorry, it's his day off he's probably shopping, but is he getting in trouble for .. the fight?" - I ask
"Oh no no god no from what we know George was the reason for the fight so lando can't be given out to, we just want to make sure his hand isn't damaged, you know no broken fingers or anything" zak explains
"Ya I get that, I'll let you know if I see him" I say closing the door.
I look over at lando who is still sitting on the bed trying not to laugh.
"That's not funny, I think my heart stopped beating when I opened the door" I say
"Oh no I haven't seen him" he says with a girly voice giggling
"Oh shut up" I throw a pillow at him
I grab the towel and go back to cleaning his hand.
Once I'm done I walk over to the floor to ceiling window and sit on the chair in front of it. I look out at the sky.
"We have a flight to catch soon" I say breaking the silence.
"Ya... sadly, I don't want to leave this place"he says
"Me either, it's beautiful here. But we have work so we have to, we'll I have work so I have to I guess you can stay. I can cancel your tickets and book you a flight for Thursday instead?" I say
"Nah it's ok I don't want to be here alone and you have work so I'll just go home" he says faintly barely even opening his mouth.
I turn around to look at him. He's laying looking at the ceiling with tears in his eyes.
"Lando"-Y/n
He looks at me smiles and whips his eyes. He gets up and leaves the room without saying anything. I want to follow him but he looks like he needs to be alone so i don't.

LANDO'S POV:
Seeing her cleaning my hand, all I can think is does she really care about me? Does she feel the same way for me that I do for her?. I love her. I really do, she's perfect. I mean look at her she's beautiful, and her smile could light up a room. Her laugh is contagious. And her personality, oh her personality is everything. She's funny, and caring, sometimes shy. But she's perfect. I want to tell her everything, how I feel. I can't the contracts say we can't have feelings for eachother. I don't want to ruin her dream job and she's already had a bad day.
I lay down as she sits near the window. I get lost in my thoughts.
How could he hurt her? How does he think she's easy to get into bed. Why would he lay hands on her, and leave marks. Does no one else see her the way I see her? She's gentle and caring. She would never hurt anyone so why would he hurt her? She didn't deserve any of this.
Thinking about seeing him with his hands around her makes me tear up. I can't handle the thought of her being hurt, I don't want to think about how scared she felt in that moment.
"We have a flight soon" I hear
"I don't want to leave" I say, I don't want to go I want to stay here with her, where we can run and hide in hotel rooms and laugh until we can't breath. When we go back to England we have to work again, i can't just drive, I have to do meetings and interviews, it's more serious there, I don't want to I want to stay and make more memories with her.
I hear her say something about tickets but I wasn't really listening.
"Nah I don't want to stay here alone and you have work so I'll go back" I say feeling the tears run down my face.
The thought of not being able to see her everyday makes me sick. I've spent 2 whole mounts staying with her in hotels around the world and now I have to go home without her? I don't feel at home without her, it feels wrong. She is my home. I feel at home when she's around.
"Lando" I hear over my thoughts
I look up and see her looking at me worried.
I can't say anything. I whip the tear and walk out of the room.
