An inconvenient attachment

Chapter 56

This past week Lando tried to call me a few times in the evening. I didn't really want to talk to him after seeing him so happy. The days went by really slowly. I went to school during the day, my smoke breaks becoming more and more regular. I forgot how expensive smoking was. I should find a job soon before I run out of my money. The evenings I spent calling with Addison or watching movies with Kate. Addison wants to come visit me soon. I'm looking forward to that.

"Ready?" Kate yells from her bedroom. I look at myself in the mirror. I'm wearing a denim short with a cute top. I nod to myself. This will do. I quickly fix my hair a bit and walk out of my bedroom. "You look hot" Kate says, then she whistles at me. I turn a circle and make a bow. "You're not too bad yourself" I say while winking at her. It's Thursday night and we are going out. "Are we walking or taking a taxi?" I ask Kate, who is more familiar in this area. Although I live here for a while now, I haven't seen that much.

"Taxi, which should be here right now" Kate says while looking at the time. "Let's wait outside" I say. As soon as Kate closes the front door I light up a cigarette. "You should really stop doing that. You're breath smells" Kate sighs. She grabs the cigarette out of my hand and takes a drag. I look at her with my eyebrows raised. "What? You're a bad influence" she says. A few moments later someone honks their horn. "Cab's are here" I yell, quoting Pauly D. "Jersey shore, nice" Kate laughs.

When we arrive at the club it's very busy already. People dancing and drinking everywhere. Oh how I've missed this. After a few drinks Kate gets out her phone and starts to make a video. I dance and take a shot. The next few hours we dance our asses off. A few guys, and girls, came up to us, but we scared them away. "Another drink?" Kate asks. I nod and she grabs my hand, we walk towards the bar. Just when Kate is about to order some other girl pushes me aside and starts ordering. The bartender doesn't say anything about it. "He, we were first" I yell. Kate softly squeezes my arm. "Let it" she says. "No, this girl is making cutzies. I fucking hate girls like that" I yell. The girl now seems to notice me. "What did you say?"

"I said I fucking hate girls like you!"

"You should watch your mouth" the girl says, stepping closer towards me. "You're being a bitch" I yell back. "You have a pretty big mouth for a girl your size" the girl says, almost spitting her words at me. "Yes well, look what else I can do" I say before I shove her aside. I look at Kate and give her a look, one that says 'look mommy, look what I did!'

"Mia" Kate yells, but it's too late. Before I know it the fist of the girl is planted in my face. God that really hurt. Before I realize what I'm doing I throw up my knee, right in-between her legs.

Lando's pov.

I tried to call Mia a few times this week. If it weren't for all the meetings I had, which I could not get out of and didn't want to get out of really, I would be there right now. Pierre has called me about ten times these past few days, but I think he has given up by now.

"Lando! Watch it" Charles yells through my headset. Oh fuck, I didn't pay attention to my game, causing me almost crashing into Charles. "Sorry" I mumble. "Jeez mate, where is your head" Max laughs. A few moments later Max wins, again. Dickhead.

"Do you guys wanna do another round?" Charles asks. "Yeah sure. It's not like I have anything else to do" I sigh. God, I sound dramatic. "She still hasn't called?" Max asks. "Nope, she doesn't pick up my calls."

"She said she would call you" Max says.

"Well, she says a lot of things to you."

"Sorry" I say when Max doesn't respond. "It's fine, just start the game" Max says. "It's just.." I continue. "Or we sit and talk a bit more" Max says. I swear I can hear him roll his eyes. I ignore him. "I don't even know what she's doing right now. Or what she's doing this weekend. I think I'm going over there" I say.

"I wouldn't do that" Max says. Now I start to get pissed. "Why not?"

"Cause she won't be home" Max says. "Where is she going? To you?"

"No" Max says. Charles sighs. "She's coming here. She's visiting Charlotte."

"Oh great" I say sarcastically. "Lando, watch your mouth" Charles warns. Ever since Mia got attacked I haven't been able to talk to Charlotte. I know it wasn't her fault, but she told me not to go after Mia. "When is she arriving?"

"Lando, what do you think you're doing?" Max asks while laughing. "Nothing. Just start the game."

When the game finishes I grab my phone and lay down on my bed. I open instagram and see that Kate uploaded a new story. I open it and see Kate and Mia dancing at a club. Mia looks like she's having fun. In the next story I see more of her, she's lost weight. That's not good. She takes a shot. God, she's probably wasted. You know what, fuck this. I jump up out of bed and grab my bag. I'm going to Monaco.

Mia's pov.

I don't know what time it is. All I know is I'm really fucking drunk and in a silly mood. Me and Kate stumble back into the living room. "You should really get your face sorted" Kate murmurs. "Yes mom." Kate walks to her bedroom "Goodnight daughter" she says giggling.

I'm not tired yet. I grab my phone and scroll through my contacts. I call Charlotte, who doesn't pick up. I call Addison, who also doesn't pick up. Ha! I know someone who is always up late. I go to FaceTime and click on Max. A few seconds later his face appears in the screen. I hold my camera to the side so he doesn't see my face. "What the fuck are you doing? Do you know what time it is?"

"Ok Max, I'm going to show you something. Don't freak out" I say giggling. "What is it?" As soon as I put the camera on my face I burst out in laughing. Max doesn't seem to find it funny, which is weird to me. "Mia, what the fuck happened?" I sigh. "You always swear so much" I mumble.

"Mia, what happened to your face?"

"I got in a tienie tiny fight" I say. "You look like shit. Go to the bathroom right now" Max orders. "Yes soldier" I say, making a soldiers salute with my hand. "I mean it."

I sigh, but stand up. Max gives me orders on how I should treat my face. When I'm done I close the bathroom door behind me. "You sound like you have a lot of experience in taking care of wounds" I joke. "Yeah well, glad you find it funny" Max says. "Now go to sleep" he says and hangs up the phone. Ugh fine.
