An inconvenient attachment

Chapter 23

After walking for a while I realize I have no idea where I am. I reach for my phone. Fuckkk, I probably left it at the club. I start to panic a bit, but try to calm myself down. Ok, Mia. Think. I probably should try to find my way back to the club. Fuck, I also didn't tell anyone I was leaving. I try to find my way back, but I can't think straight. I'm probably to drunk for this. I walk in the direction I just came from, I think. A car pulls up beside me. "Need a ride, pretty?" a creepy guy asks. I don't respond and just keep walking. Please please please just drive away. "Oh come on, lost you tongue?" This guy gives me shivers. I suddenly don't feel drunk anymore. "You know, you really should't be walking alone at this time of the night" he says. My heart beats like crazy. Fuck. Mia you fucking dumbass. I could give myself a smack in the head right now. After a while he gives up and drives off. Tears stream down my face, I sigh out of relief. Why are some guys so creepy?

I start to recognize some things. I think I'm walking in the right direction. I see the lights of the club again. Oh thank god. I start to walk faster. Suddenly someone grabs me at my shoulders. Just when I'm about to scream my lungs out I see it's Pierre.

"Fucking hell you scared me" I say while slapping him on his shoulder. "What do you think about us! You can't just disappear like that" he nearly screams. "I'm sorry, I just needed some air" I say, trying to hide my tears. "And who the fuck was that?" Pierre asks. Shit, he saw that. "Was that guy bothering you?" he asks. I shake my head, but he doesn't seem to believe me. "Please don't tell Lando" I beg. "I don't like secrets" Pierre says. "Please? I don't want him to worry" I try again. Pierre rolls his eyes, but nods. He grabs his phone and calls someone. "I found her, we're at the club" Pierre says. Pierre puts his phone away. He turns around when we enter the club. "Just a heads up, he's fucking pissed" Pierre says. Great, looking forward to it.

We walk upstairs, Charlotte, Kelly and Charles are already there. They hug me. "Don't do that again" Charlotte orders. I nod. I sit down on the couch. Still shivering about what happend. How could I be so dumb and walk out of the club alone, with no phone?

A few moments later Max arrives. He pats me on the head. "Dumbass" Max says. I chuckle. Finally a very angry Lando walks up the stairs with Carlos. When he sees me a sigh of relief escapes his mouth. I stand up and wrap my arms around him. "I'm sorry" I say. He leans back and grabs my face with both his hands. Making me look at him. He wants to say something, but swallows his words when he sees I've been crying. "Tomorrow you are going to tell me what the fuck happend today" he says strictly. I nod. Not having the energy to argue with him. "Taxi's here" Max says. Thank god.

When we arrive at Max his house everyone goes straight up to their room. I quickly take off my clothes and jump into bed. Lando cuddles up beside me. A few moments later I fall asleep.

The next morning I wake up nauseous. I look at my watch. Fuck, it's early. I quickly put on some shorts and walk out of the room, trying to not wake Lando. I open the door and walk towards the sea. The sun is just about to rise. I sit down on the beach. The sound of the waves and birds calm me. The nauseousness quickly goes away. Damn, I could get used to this view. When the sun is almost up Max sits down besides me. "You're up early" I say. We talk in our mother language. He shrugs his shoulders. "It's pretty out here" I say. "That's why I bought it" he jokes. We sit there in silence for a while. "You should tell Lando what's going on with you" Max says. I sigh. "I know."

"You don't have to tell me, but what is going on with you?" he asks. I look at him. I feel the tears burning in my eyes. "My brother is dead" is say. He looks at me with his mouth open. "What, when?" Oh god, he probably thinks it happend yesterday.

"No no, it happend a while ago, but my mom blames me. She never said it out loud, but I could feel it you know. And yesterday she was so angry, she actually said it" I spurt out. Wow, I said it.

"Why does she blame you?" he asks, actually interested. I don't know why, but it's nice to talk to him, really easy, without any judgement. I shrug my shoulders. He waits until I say something.

"Because it was my fault" I say just before I burst out in tears. Max puts his arm around me. He doesn't say anything and just lets me cry. He rubs my back.

"I don't believe that" he says when I calm down a bit.

"He was driving, I distracted him. A drunk driver came out of no where and hit us."

"It's not your fault" Max says. Tears stream down my face again. "It is, even my mom thinks so. If I hadn't distracted him maybe he would see the car coming, maybe he could have avoided it."

"Mia, it's not you fault" Max says slowly.

"Whats wrong?" Lando says while sitting down beside me. I wonder how long he was standing there. Well he problably didn't understand a thing we were saying. Since he can't speak dutch. He has a hoodie on, he looks cute. "Tell him" Max says as he stands up, "he'll say the same thing as I did."

Lando wraps his arm around me and pulls me closer to him. I tell him about the accident and the phone call from my mom. Lando doesn't say much, but he just holds me. Exactly what I need.
