Lando
I just woke up and decided to go for a morning run to clear my head. The door closed behind me and I started to run. Running away from my problems isn't the best idea, but it seems to work for me, so why not? I put the key in the lock of my front door. I'm exhausted. While walking to the kitchen, I spotted my phone on the coffie table in front of the TV. I probably left it there yesterday evening, when me and Anna went upstairs. One particular notification cought my attention. Nina had sent me a message: 'how was your day?' I think it's sweet. When I looked at the time of the message, I wanted to slap myself.

Nice one Lando, left a really sweet girl on delivered for almost 20 hours. I usually wouldn't care if I left a fan on delivered or on read a bit too long. But I somehow find her very interesting. I'm pretty sure she wasn't one of those fangirls, atleast that's what I hope. Why do I even care? I have never met her before and we just had eyecontact for a second. She does something weird to me.

"Up already I see." Not this again, please no. I rolled my eyes and let out a sigh. All the thoughts I tried to ignore, rushed back into my mind at the sight of Anna. "What's with the attitude?" "Do you even love me Anna?" She gave me a very confused look and stayed silent. I couldn't handle not getting an awnser out of her, so I asked again. Bit more agressive this time. "Well do you?" She kept looking at me like she had seen a ghost. I walked closer towars her. "Why the fuck do you not say anything right now? I guess I'm right, you used me for my goddamn money and you don't even care about me!" Is what I shouted in her face. Tears rolling down her cheeks and I still wanted to just hold her, make her feel safe. But I know that I shouldn't, she doesn't deserve me. "Please don't yell." Is all she managed to get out of her mouth.

"I'm sorry." Why do I even apologise? It's not like I've done something wrong. "But if you don't say something right now, we're done Anna. Do you know how worthless you made me feel the last couple of weeks." I never told anybody about any of this. Being too scared of their reactions. "I'm sorry. I really thought I was making you happy." What does feeling happy have to do with being in love. "You made me happy for a long time, but you changed or decided to be your real self around me. You're always gone and when we are together I feels really unnarural. As if you don't want to be near me." "I'm sorry okay, I do love you." I knew what she was about to say so I sad it for her. "But you're not in love with me.."

Anna walked away and I just stared in front of me. Thinking about the times she did say she loved me. Was it all a lie? Did she fall out of love? Was it because of something I did? I wanted to talk to someone, but not about what just happened. A good conversation about anything but Anna and I's relationship. What it still a relationship? Are we over? I said we would be, but that's not what I want. I had my phone in my hands when I realised I had never responded to Nina. Maybe she can cheer me up a bit.

NinaTaylor: Wow, I can't believe you remembered me. Since you meet so many people every weekend.

NinaTaylor: But how was your day?

Me: Ofcourse I remember you! My day wasn't the best, but honestly can't complain. Sorry for not responding sooner. Had stuff to do. But tell me about your day?

NinaTaylor: I'm sorry to hear that. It's okayy I get it, you're a formula one driver. You have things to do.

NinaTaylor: My day wasn't too special either. Went to uni today, was a bit boring to be honest. I went to the library afterwards to get some work done.

Me: Sounds like a productive day to me. What are you studying? I saw that you live in London, so I'm guessing you go to school there too?

NinaTaylor: Yeah I do, I study PR management. Did you study anything or was it just highschool and then driving?

Me: Ever considered working in F1? Since you clearly like racing. No I didn't, I dropped out of high school at the age of 15 and focused on racing.

NinaTaylor: Yes I have actually, it's my inspiration to do this. What would you study if you didn't become a formula one driver?
