The Limit (Sebastian Vettel)

20. It's Lights Out and Away We Go

Liam staggered but kept his balance.  Momentarily stunned, he soon recovered his poise. 

"You fricking psycho," he roared and launched himself at Seb.  Having lightning quick reactions, Seb dodged out of the way, but Liam wasn't giving up. He grabbed hold of Seb's jumper.  "You'll fucking regret that Vettel!"

Seb grabbed hold of Liam's arm.  He was about to punch him again, furious over how he'd treated Lily, when he felt his arms being grabbed and held behind his back, someone strong pulled him off of Liam. 

"Hey, are you fucking stupid?" he heard Kimi hiss in his ear.  He saw that Kevin had hold of Liam, holding him back.

"Let me go Kimi."

"You're only going to get yourself into trouble.  I'm not letting that happen.  He's not worth it."

"What the hell's going on?" asked Kevin. 

"Fucked if I know," snarled Liam. 'This dickhead just came up to me and punched me for no reason."

"No reason?" retaliated Seb.  "You deserved it and more! That was for Lily!"

"Oh I get it now.  He's jealous because he fancies my Mrs. Tough luck Vettel, I'm the one she wants.   I'm the one that gets to fuck her."

"Yeah? Well, I don't think you will be any more mate!  Does the name Katrina Lowell mean anything to you?"   He saw the colour immediately drain from Liam's face. "I thought so.  You see, secrets don't stay secrets for long when you're in the public eye."

"Fuck!" Liam managed to wriggle out of Kevin's grip and he dashed over to the elevator. 

"Kimi, let me go!"

"Not happening, I'm not letting you beat the little shit up, no matter how much he deserves it.  I don't know what he's done, but I know he does deserve it, you never lose it like that."

"I'm not gonna beat him up.  He's going to Lily. I have to get there.  She can't face him alone.  He's been cheating on her.  He's got another woman pregnant!"

Kimi sighed.  Of course this was about Lily. Seb was obsessed with her.   He thought no one knew, but Kimi knew, he knew everything.  People thought he was quiet but he took everything in.    He relaxed his hold and Seb pulled free. 

The elevator doors shut as he reached them.  He jabbed at the button, but it was too late. 

"Damn!" he cursed. How was he meant to find her? Then he suddenly had a thought.  He turned and walked back over to Kevin. 

"Kev, what room is Lily in?  I have to find her to make sure she's ok."

"Mate, I don't know if I ought to tell you that.  I don't want you getting into shit if you hit him again."

"I won't! Come with me if you have to.  I just need to make sure she's ok."

Kevin sighed. Lily wasn't his favourite person in the world but he had a lot of respect for Seb and he didn't want him getting into any trouble. 

"She's next door to me.  508."

He'd barely finished speaking when Seb took off in the direction of the stairwell.  Kimi and Kevin both chased after him.  

Seb ran as fast as he could up to the fifth floor, not even pausing for breath.  He left Kimi and Kevin behind. 

As he burst out into the fifth floor corridor he was greeted by a sight that almost made him laugh. 

Down the other end of the passageway Liam stood by an open door, his case at his feet, and clothes being thrown out of the doorway at him.  Way to go Lily, Seb thought.   He'd been afraid that Liam would manage to persuade her that it had all been lies, but by the look of it Lily was giving him his marching orders.
