Lando was in trouble. He knew that much.

Social media was alight with rumors of him cheating on Elena. Yet they weren't exactly rumors.

It all started in Hungary after an unfortunate incident in the first lap of the race. Lando had been knocked out in what most of the drivers were calling a bowling game. Rightfully he'd been pissed and he'd taken out his anger on Elena, who'd been sitting in the garage to support him. The girl had ignored his harsh words as she knew that he was merely frustrated with the situation, after all he'd had the chance of a podium right in the palm of his hand but it was taken away from him in a few seconds.

When they'd returned to their hotel room, she'd expected him to apologise yet Lando had ignored her the whole night. He'd done this to avoid her telling him that she was disappointed in his result or her trying to cheer him up without knowing how it felt to lose such a great opportunity.

Elena, clearly hurt by his actions, decided to leave the very next morning . She'd originally planned to join Lando for his testing session at the track yet when he returned from his morning jog, her things were gone and she'd sent him a text stating that she left early and that she loved him, she was just irritated by his actions.

This cold war only got icier as Lando ignored her calls and texts while he was on holiday, partially because of the lack of service out at sea but if he had time to party it up on exotic islands then surely he could shoot her a quick text saying he's ok.

The final straw came when he was photographed with two girls. In particular he was found holding one of the girls fairly intimately. It was no secret to the other members of the holiday group that the girl in question had her sights set on Lando, despite showing interest in Max earlier on. After one to many drinks he'd found himself in bed with the girl. Despite his brother, Max and Savanah advising him to stop his shenanigans, he'd invited the girl, Alisa, back to the UK.

At this point Savanah felt obligated to tell Olivia the truth, not having the courage to tell Elena directly, she'd texted her hoping to start the dreaded conversation. Oliver originally objected, as he wanted to protect his brother, but after seeing how he literally didn't care, he agreed with her.

Elena was in pain. She knew this type of pain, she'd just hoped that she'd never experience it again. Yet here she was crying in her cousins arms.

After a day filled with fun, filming a new music video, she'd switched on her phone for the first time in two days to find her worst nightmare happening all over again. She'd switched the device off again, refusing to deal with the consequences of her boyfriend, well ex-boyfriend's, actions.
Once she arrived home, she wasn't surprised to find Olivia sitting at the bottom of the stairs waiting for her.

"I guess you saw the news."

"Yea. How could he Liv!? I trusted him with all of my heart only to be repaid with heartbreak over and over again. He's mister consistency alright! Consistently breaking my heart!"
By now the girl was screaming, tears falling down her face. Makhyli had come into the room and pulled her into her warm embrace.
