Russell's Cousin- Lando Norris story

Home

(Sorry this may seem like a choppy chapter but I think it works 😂 also sorry for the late update, I've literally not had a minute to sit down and get my head in gear the past two weeks! Let's go for this weekend)

The last three days since Wembley had been possibly the worst three days of your lives, to the point Lando called max Monday morning to stay over in the house so you weren't both alone. The Sunday night, straight after the event was like nothing happened, you were so tired you just slept and only when you woke up and had to get back in touch with the police and also to inform McLaren did reality hit in of what had happened. Lando called his parents and then Oliver first to let them know. He didn't call them the Sunday not wanting to panic them but still when you did call them they were so worried about you both. Especially when you told Cisca about what happened to yourself she started to cry. An emotion you wouldn't think someone else's mum would show but to her you were another daughter. You then had to make the call to your parents and you strictly told them not to tell your grandparents but just to let them know lando 'lost' his watch. Then came telling George. He was frustrated, angry and so upset of what happened and kept saying he should of been there not you two but it couldn't be changed now, it had already happened.

You messaged Charles' Charlotte to confide in another female your age of what happened just to get the feelings off your chest. Telling lando was that intimate connection but just a female friend who understood was also needed. She was unable to fly out for Silverstone but said she would get Charles to have a chat with you.

Furthermore each night from then was sleepless, tossing, turning and waking up all night. The worst one was Wednesday night before you left for Silverstone in the morning; lando woke in a hot sweat and state of panic making you shoot up. He was still traumatised and the only time he would switch off from the thoughts was when he was doing so overnight the kitchen was cleaned, floors mopped and hoovered and he was sat sketching away still in the morning.

You walked downstairs and to the back of the house to see lando with his knees up on the sofa with his sketch book and pencil, still in his PJs, dressingown and glasses.

"Good morning darling" you quietly said as you walked in pushing the hair from your face.
"Sorry about last night"
"Hey hey , Shh, it's ok now. We are here" you cooed as you sat next to him running your fingers through the side of his hair
"And sorry about the hoover" he said looking down
"Yeah that was a bit loud but it's ok, I'll forgive you" you smiled "max is still in bed"
"What time is it" lando asked rubbing his eyes
"Just turned 7"
"I'll go up in a bit to him, how did you sleep?" He asked putting down his book
"Same as you, not very much. I just kept closing my eyes but didn't sleep much. I'll drive to Silverstone while you sleep in the car" you said taking charge
"No it's ok"
"No you need your rest, you need to be feeling better before weekend" you insisted.
"I don't know how I could of got through this week without you, I'm just - I'm not me" he said
"I can tell, it brought back some awful memories and I just can't get the feeling out of my head."
"I couldn't even stop him, it was my fault it all happened, I shouldn't of worn my watch or taken my car"
"Lando you can't help it that you have nice things, it isn't and wasn't your fault. No one ever knows what will happen" you said trying to convince him
"I promised your family I'd look after you, don't tell George he will kill me"
"He already knows."
"And?"
"And he was glad we are just both alive. He doesn't care what happened he is just glad we are here still. George knows you would take a bullet for me"
"I need to talk to him too, I've already been on the phone to Carlos this morning. He was up running"
"I spoke to Charlotte too, Charles knows and she's arranged to fly out Saturday morning to see us. And I text mick letting him know we are ok after he saw your Instagram."
"That's good of Charlotte coming over you need it." He said holding your hand. "I love you" lando said
"I love you too" you replied kissing his cheek as you heard the footsteps of Max coming downstairs.
