The Hendrick Guys

Part 42

New Years Eve...

Your POV- continued

You're walking with Alex and Will through London to go to a restaurant they had booked.
You get to the Hard Rock Cafe and smile as Alex leads you in by your hand, you get seated at a big round table and look at the waitress confused.
"We have one more surprise for you..." Alex turns to you saying with a smirk, as he finishes saying this you feel hands squeeze your shoulders and turn to see Chase smiling at you and Mahkaila behind him screaming "surprise!" You laugh in shock and stand up giving Mahkaila a hug.
"Why her first? It was me that actually surprised you!" Chase shouts, you laugh and hug him too.
"What the fuck..." you say quietly laughing and eventually all sit down, Alex and Will laugh and fist bump each other. You look at Alex and Will smiling and thank them.

You all sit and have your meals and some drinks before setting off for a walk before the London Eye. You get there and wait in the line for your turn and step in when prompted.
"Wait... are you not scared of heights?" Mahkaila asks you smirking.
"Nope, just tall drop rides. I've been on this before though, so i know I'll be fine." You say back to her smiling. You look at Will who's looking up at the Eye and then looks back down and meets your eyes, you smile at him and mouth "are you scared?" And watch him take a deep breath looking up at it again and back at you shrugging his shoulders.

You get to the top and it stops. You wait and short while until the countdown begins, you all shout the countdown and the fireworks start. You shout "happy new year!" Alex pulls you closer to him and kisses you, Chase does the same with Mahkaila and you stand watching the fireworks leaning into Alex with his arm around you, you cant help but look at Will stood watching on his own. Alex nudges you forwards, you look at him and he nods his head towards Will.

You walk up behind Will and wrap your arms around his neck hugging him,
"Happy New Year, Byron." You whisper to him squeezing him, he laughs nervously and he turns and hugs you.
"Happy New Year... thank you for everything over the last few months, i love you (Y/N)." He whispers down your ear, you smile and hug him a little tighter.
You grab his hand and drag him over to Alex with you, Alex puts his arm around you again and you keep hold of Will's hand and watch the rest of the fireworks.

.........................

A couple months later...

Its the first race of the season, you talk to Alex before he heads to his car. He's really stressed about the race and ends up shouting at you for it before storming off to his car shaking his head. You stand just watching him walk away and hear someone behind you running, you go to turn around and see Will run past you and straight to Alex.

You watch from afar as Alex shakes his head and pushes Will away and they both end up looking mad until crew members push Will away and tell him to go to his car. He walks towards you shaking his head and mumbling to himself until he gets to you and stops.
"Are you ok? Don't let him speak to you like that!" He raises his voice, you smile at him before saying you're fine and not to worry about it and he walks off to his car.

The race starts and you hear the crew over his radio shouting at him as well. His first race isn't the greatest and he finishes outside of the top 10, you go over to see him when he gets out of his car and he shrugs you off straight away and walks off to his trailer shouting,
"Don't fucking talk to me!" To all of his crew and yourself. You turn to look at Greg and he looks at you confused and shrugs.
"I'm sorry, I'll try talking to him." You say giving him an awkward smile, he laughs a little and shakes his head.
"Don't beat yourself up about it, its not your fault. I can see in your eyes, the guilt." He says patting your shoulder smiling. You nod and smile back before walking away.

You walk straight into Alex's trailer and find him laying on his bed still in his fire suit.
"Alex, what's wrong?" You ask him stood at the bedroom door leaning against the door frame, he shoots up sitting facing you.
"Did you just watch the race i just raced in? Or were you watching some other race? That was awful! I was shit! I don't want to talk, can you just leave me alone?!" He shouts at you and lays back down.
"What is wrong with you? Why you speaking to me like this? What have i done?! Alex, I'm your girlfriend remember, talk to me!" You shout back to him and he sits up again.
"No. You're my PR, now can you just listen and leave me alone!" He shouts at you again and lays down again.
You stand for a little bit just staring at him and thinking of something to say.

"As your girlfriend, i want to stay. And i want you to talk to me, Alex!" You say sitting on the edge of the bed.
"I just want to be alone for a bit. I don't want to hurt you, (Y/N). Maybe we should just have a break from each other, for a few races?" He suggests sitting up looking at you.
"But I'm your PR?" You ask looking at him pulling a face.
"Well, let that be our only time together then." He says and your heart sinks.
"So... we aren't together?" You say looking down at your hands.
"Just for a few weeks maybe? Unless you find someone else. Listen, (Y/N) i love you and I don't want to hurt you... this is probably for the best!" He moves down the bed sitting beside you and puts his arm around you, you nod, even though you don't want to.
You soon get up and leave his trailer, you don't know what to do or where to go. You later go back to Alex's trailer after a walk, neither of you tell the others about everything and just carry on.

You all head back the next day and you don't hang around very long at HMS and go home, Alex pretty much follows you out and goes home.
When you get home, you change into comfy clothes, coming across hoodies of Alex's and you break down crying. You get your phone out and message Chase- "I know you said I always have you and you could talk... can you talk now?" You put your phone down right as he replies-
"Me and Mahkaila are having a few drinks with Alex, he's told us everything. Are you ok? Don't worry, I told him off for being an ass with you too! Try calling William?"
You cry some more after reading this and reply with- "I'm fine. Thanks Chase." You don't expect a reply from this, but he replies.
"I know you're lying to me. I'll see you tomorrow, we can do something. Be ready for 11:00am!" You laugh a little at his reply and set an alarm, knowing fine well he'll be at your door at 11.

You message Will after this saying- "hey Willy b, are you free?" You put your phone down and wait for a reply and check after a minute.
"Why? Is everything ok?" He replies and you sit thinking of what to say, you must've taken to long to reply as your phone starts ringing and its Will, you take a deep breath before answering it.

William- hey, is everything ok? I know somethings up for you to message asking if I'm free
You- not really, i just need to take my mind off some things...
William- talk to me? I'm here, I'm listening
You- can you come to my place?
William- what? Now?
You- yeah... I'll explain everything
William- ok, I'm coming now. I'll see you soon.

You hear his car pull up outside and open your door and he comes running in.
"What's wrong? What going on? Chase just called me asking me to check in on you, i don't think I've driven my car so fast before!" He shouts out of breath. You laugh at him and shake your head, he looks at you confused.
"Dude, you literally race cars at 200 miles per hour and have the audacity to say you've never driven so fast before..." you say pulling a face, he thinks about it and laughs at himself.
"Anyways... what's wrong, you've been upset. I can tell. Now talk!" He says sitting down beside you on the couch.

You sit and explain everything to him and he sits in shock before moving closer to you hugging you, you lean into him hugging him and feel yourself crying again.
"Please don't cry... he isn't worth the tears. Anyone else would make it work, not end their relationship!" He shouts and you move off him and go get yourself and him a drink.
You cant stop crying as you get drinks and you're stopped by Will walking up to you and hugging you, he holds your head against his chest and you burst into tears.
"I cant cope with all of this, Will. Last season I said I'd maybe move back home cause I felt lonely and honestly... this is the worst I've ever felt. If it wasn't for you right now, I'd be on the next flight back." You mumble into his chest and he just hugs you tighter.
"Well, I'm not letting you go anywhere!" He shouts, still hugging you.
