Lando

I woke up by my alarm going off and I had to catch my flight. I went home last night and I was happy but also confused. First Ella says she loves Liam but then we have a full on make out session. I didn't mind but this girl gave me mixed signals. I felt kind of guilty that she has a boyfriend but I can't resist her.

I got up to take a shower and leave to go meet Carlos. "Mate where are you, I've been waiting for like 10 minutes." I said over the phone to Carlos. "Don't shit yourself I'm here." he dramatically yelled out. He parked next to me and we got out to meet up with the team.

I couldn't get Ella out of my head for the whole flight. "What's up with you?" Carlos asked trying to figure out what's wrong. "No it's nothing." I said avoiding eye contact. "Mate I know when something is wrong, is it a girl?" he asked wiggling his eyebrows. "Wipe that smirk off of your face but yes it is." I rolled my eyes at him. I knew if I didn't tell him he would not leave me alone.

"So this girl has a boyfriend, he was a dick to her so she kissed me then a week later I saw her again we talked about it and she said she loves him but then we kissed again." I took a deep breath after throwing it out all in one breath. "And now what?" he asked looking shocked. "I don't know you Muppet." I said putting both my hands over my face.

"Just be straight with her, if you really like her and if she really likes you then she'll break up with her boyfriend." he said tapping my shoulder. "Yeah I don't know but well see."

We landed short after and the hot Australian sun was not hiding. I wanted to message Ella but I didn't know if I should. We got to the hotel and I had the rest of the Thursday off. I went on Instagram and typed in her name. The sight of her made me feel calm and forget everything else,bjt only for a second.

Heyy you, wanted to check in and see how you are doing.

Hii, I'm good, sorry for.. You know

Nothing to feel sorry about, you enjoyed it?

Is it bad if I did?

I hope not :) but I think you should tell Liam

I'm gonna go see him later today but I don't know

Putting everything aside, as a friend I'll support you x

I know you will, good luck on your race, I'll be watching

It made me happy that she may have considered telling him. I didn't want to be selfish but it's the right thing to do.

Ella

Lando made me think of what I should say to Liam, maybe it is better to tell him what happened. I was going to meet with him around 5 o'clock and it was now only 11 o'clock. I messaged Ria if she wanted to come over and she was already on her way. I got some snacks out for us and selected a movie to watch. Joe was still at the house but he was in is office and my mom was at work.

Not short after I changed into some other clothes Ria arrived. "Hey gorgeous how have you been?" she asked as we hugged. "Oh you know always good." I said with a smile on my face. "So we are gonna watch Kissing booth 3" I said excitingly and I clamped my hands together. "Yes! I've been dying to watch it but don't you want to watch the F1 conference?" she was the only one that knew I kissed Lando. "Oh is that today?" I played dumb to not react crazy.

She switched to the F1 channel and we watched as every driver got interviewed. "So this is Charles, he is an absolute beauty." Ria said while she sank into the couch. "You got a little crush eh?" I said giving her a smirk. "Well your the one to talk." she said and we both bursted out in laughter.

She taught me a little about F1 and all of the drivers. Lando still haven't done his interview and I couldn't help but want to see him. "I know that look." Ria said as she gave me a soft smile. "It's the look of wanting to see the guy you kissed while you still have a boyfriend." She blurted out and I was in shock. "Uhh no it's not, he's just a friend." I said and the words made my body numb. "Then why kiss him?" she was like an investigator and I wouldn't say I enjoyed it. "Okay I kissed him twice but I don't know why, he makes me feel something that Liam can't make me feel and I want that feeling. Yes I love Liam but I'm scared it's a love that's gone on for too long and now I just say it." I got everything out of my system and Ria stared at me with big eyes.

" If you know in your heart Liam is not what you want then why are you still with him, forget about Lando for a second and think about yourself, do you really love Liam or is it just pity love?" Ria made me think a lot and not just about Lando but about myself, maybe Liam wasn't the one, maybe I wanted more." Will you come with me later today, I'm gonna go see Liam bit you can just wait for me in the car." I said." Yes of course, I'll be waiting."

We looked back at the TV and we saw Lando. My heart started beating faster, it got hot and then I knew he had to be something special.

I got ready to go meet with Liam and Ria came with me. I got out of the car and saw him sitting at a table in a restaurant. "Hi Liam." I shyly said while I took a seat. "Hi babe I've missed you so much." he reached out for my hand but I pulled away. It was hard to make eye contact with him but I knew what I wanted to say. "Liam we really need to talk." he looked worried. And I couldn't help but start to cry. "You have been so good to me and I love you for that but all things must come to an end. I think we should break up." my legs bounced up and down and tears still left my eyes. "Are you fucking kidding me?" he snapped again and people started looking. "I love you Ella and I'm sorry for how I treated you, please don't leave me." he grabbed my hand. "Stop you hurting me." I said trying to get my hand loose.

"There's someone else isn't there." he said angrily, his face started to get more red every second. "You know I hate to lie so I'm not gonna say no." I started to play with my fingers again. I knew he was going to react badly so Ria was listening in on our conversation on my phone with her phone. "What the fuck Ella, I really thought you where better than this." he stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

I ran after him because I wanted us to end it on good terms. "Liam wait, I'm really sorry for everything." I said grabbing his arm. "I gave you everything and now you just throw it away over some guy." he walked closer to me and I got scared of him. "Liam you scaring me." I could feel the tears forming behind my eyes. "Your gonna regret braking up with me and I'll make sure of that." he grabbed my arm tightly. "Let go of me." I yelled out. The next thing he slapped me across the face and I fell down to the floor.

Ria came rushing over to me and I couldn't make out what she was saying but Liam took off. "Ella are you okay?" she asked and picked me up from the floor. I was crying drastically at this point and she took me to the car.

"I hate him." I said looking out of the car window. "He didn't treat you right." she said as she rubbed my shoulder. "Can I stay with you." I asked as I didn't want my mom's questions and speeches. "Of course, let's just go get you some clothes.
