An inconvenient attachment

Chapter 58

"You should take a break" Lando says, his lips close to my ear. "Don't wanna!"

"I'll go grab you a drink" Lando says as he turns around. When he returns I quickly finish the drink. "Did you seriously buy me water?" I ask while rolling my eyes. "It's good for you."

"Maybe I should ask Max to buy me something to drink" I challenge him. Lando's jaw tensed. "Don't start" he warns. "Why not? It's not like you were very bothered." I stop dancing now. Lando looks at me with a look that says what the fuck are you talking about.

"I saw you on tv Lando, you looked happy."

Lando rolls his eyes and sighs. "Don't believe everything you see on the television."

"You watched me?" Lando says when I don't respond. A little smirk appearing on his face. "I zapped past it by accident."

"Sure" Lando says. "I'm going to the bathroom" I quickly turn around, god how embarrassing. There's a fricking long line. When I'm finally done I look over at the dance floor. I sigh and turn around. I walk to the exit and grab a cigaret out of my bag.

"Rough night?" some guy asks. I shrug my shoulders, not really wanting to talk to him. "I have something that might cheer you up" he says. "Oh fuck off, is this the part where you take your dick out of your pants?"

"No!" he laughs. "I meant this" he says, holding up a small blue pill. "What's that?" I know I should turn around and go back inside, but somehow I'm interested. "Something to make you dance all night."

I bite my lip, still hesitating. "First one's free" he says. "Really?"

"My people always come back for more."

"Don't be so sure about that" I say as I take the pill out of his hand. "That's what everyone says" he says with a smirk on his face I don't really like. "Let it melt under your tongue" he says as I take the pill. "Thanks." I turn around and walk past inside. A few moments later I feel a burst of energy going through me. Oh my god. I look around, everyone is so much prettier. I walk over to the dance floor. Max spots me from the dj podium. He jumps off and walks over to me. As soon as he's in reach, I jump towards him and wrap my arms around him. He pulls me back a second later. "You ok?" He looks surprised.

"The best! I just love you sooooo much!"

Max mouth is slightly open. He squints his eyes and looks in my eyes. "Mia, what the fuck did you take?"

"What?" Lando asks. "Lando!" I shout and jump in his arms. Max closes his eyes and rubs his hand over his forehead. "What is going on?" Lando looks confused. "She took something" Max says in Lando's ear. "What the fuck." He looks angry. I push my finger on his nose. "Toooot" I yell, imitating a honking car. Lando grabs my chin firmly, almost hurting me. Well, I guess it would hurt, but I feel amazing right now. "Easy" Max says, laying has hand on Lando's arm. "Lets go home" Max says. "No! I want to dance!" I quickly slip out of Lando's hands and run over to the dance floor. A few moments later Lando grabs me by my arm, dragging me out of the club.

"Who gave it to you?" Lando asks. I look around. Max and the rest are standing on the sidewalk. I see the guy who gave me the pill, he's leaning against the wall. He puts his finger in front of his mouth, suggesting me to be silent. "Noo onee" I try to sound as serious as I can. "Mia, this is not a joke" Lando says strictly. "Lets go, there's no point in talking to her right now" Max says. I turn Max around and jump on his back, my arms around Max his neck. Max tries to pull me off, but I hold on firmly. "Lando, a little help please" max sighs. "No, I'd rather stay with Max" I say, clearly picking a fight. "Fine" Lando says. God, he's angry.

I had a feeling that when we would come back to Charles and Charlotte's place all hell would brake loose. Turns out I was right.

"Here, drink this. It'll sober you a bit up" Max says, handing me a glass of water. I don't want to sober up, but drink it anyway. I try not to look at Lando, but without noticing my eyes keep looking towards him. He looks pissed. Good thing that I'm not sober.

After a few hours the pill stops having it's affect. Which is a bummer really. I've been sitting on the balcony for the last few hours. Dragging to go back inside, not really looking forward to all the opinions.

I softly open the door, hoping they would forget about me already. Without looking at any of them I try to walk past. Lando stands up. "Where are you going?"

"Are you feeling a bit better?" Charlotte asks.

"Yeah, fine. Just a headache" I sigh. "Well, at least you are a bit more sober" Max says. I give him a look and walk towards the room I'm staying.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Lando says, grabbing my arm and pulling me towards him. "Fucking answer me god damn it! Are you trying to destroy yourself?"

"Oh fuck off, Lando. You don't know anything" I yell.

"Then fucking tell me!"

"I don't have to tell you anything!"

"Why do you even care?" I ask when he stays silent for a moment, my voice almost breaking. "Because I love you, because fuck.. I worry about you!"

"Then stop worrying about me! Your not my dad! My family will fucking worry about me! I don't need you to worry!" As soon as I said that I know I shouldn't have. I do need him to worry, want him to worry.

"Your family don't give a fuck about you, you have no fucking family!" Lando shouts. I see the regret on his face as soon as he said it. But it's too late. He said it. You can't take back your words.

"Lando" Charles says with a shocked look on his face.

"Too fucking far, Lando" Max says. I look at Lando, tears stream down my face. As soon as he takes a step forward I take a step backwards. "Don't you fucking touch me" I say softer than I meant.

"Why don't we all cool off for a moment, we'll talk about this tomorrow. It's been a long night" Charles says. I shake my head. "No, don't bother" I say as I turn around en storm out of the apartment. When the elevator doors almost close I break down. Max squeezes himself through. "You're going to be fine" Max says, trying to calm me down. When we walk out of the hotel I realize I don't have anything with me, all my stuff is in the apartment. Max seems to read my mind. "You can stay at my place tonight" he says as he opens the door of his car. "Thanks" I murmur when I get into his car. What a night.
