I turned  around and saw Lewis standing behind me. He looked at me and I knew the conversation was going to be serious. I looked at Lewis and then at Max who pulled me towards him. I kissed him on the lips to show him that everything was going to be all right. Then I  walked outside with Lewis.

I felt kind of strange when I went outside. Firstly, I had just kissed Max in front of everything, so maybe it was clear that we were more than just friends, and secondly, Lewis was behaving completely differently. I've never seen him like that, even when we've had a fight.
I just wish Charlotte and Luisa were here, then I would have my best friends by my side to hear their opinions.
How I miss those two...

I stepped back into reality, I looked at Lewis...

"What is it you want to talk to me about so badly?"

,,Ophelia you don't understand, I'm worried about you..." he hesitated to talk further.

"I don't really understand, why are you worried about me?" I felt myself nervously playing with the hair band on my wrist.

"It's about Max and you. Do you think it's such a good idea to, well, be with him?"

I stared at him in shock, I mean how will he know what is good for me and what is not? I haven't known Max for long but since I've known him I feel that there is something serious between us. And I know he sees it the same way.  Unfortunately, I am a person who can get angry very quickly and then tell people my opinion to their face. Which is often my undoing. But sometimes it doesn't hurt to speak my mind openly, even if I don't control myself.

Lewis: „Don't get together with him"

Ophelia: „What?"

Lewis: „Don't get together with him"

Ophelia: „Why?"

Lewis: „Why? You know why, Ophelia.

Ophelia: „No, no, no..."

Lewis: „yes"

Ophelia: „Lewis"

Lewis: „What?"

Ophelia: „You're being mean..."

Lewis: „What? Why am I being mean?"

Ophelia: „Stop it. Stop it.
I've had to deal with the pain my whole life!
And i'm only not gonna get with him because you're not okay with it! I won't. I won't do it.
I won't. Not when I can love someone properly for the first time since!"

I looked at Lewis and felt a tear run down my face. There was silence between us and no one bothered to break it. I wiped my tears away and left Lewis outside and made my way back to Max and the others. I felt torn inside, but I didn't want any of the others to know. And I didn't want to confront Max about it either, because I wanted to avoid a fight between Lewis and Max. That would lead nowhere anyway. It had to be true that it was between Max and me, because if it wasn't then Lewis was right from the start.

When I arrived inside, Max and the others was already waiting and smiled at me when he saw me. I was forced to smile so as not to let on anything. He hugged me tightly when I was with him.

,,And what did Lewis want that was so important?" he and the others looked at me eagerly.

,,Nothing important" I smiled happily to hide the pain.

The rest of the day was normal, I got to know everyone and Max showed me around his team red Bull. The only exciting thing that happened was that Max made it official that we were a couple. At first I was completely shocked but of course I was really happy because he could help me forget all that and it felt right. Towards evening he told me that he had a surprise for me.

"Baby close your eyes and don't turn around!"

I closed my eyes and waited anxiously, wondering what it was he wanted to surprise me with, as I had absolutely no idea. It felt like an eternity until he said I could open my eyes.

"Turn around and open your eyes..."

"You're scaring me Max"
I slowly turned around and looked into the familiar faces of Charlotte and Luisa. At first I couldn't believe it and stood rooted to the spot until I realised it was true and ran towards them. I hugged them both tightly and tears came to my eyes.

,,I missed you so much, you wouldn't believe how happy I am that you are here..." I looked at the two of them and I knew that they knew something was wrong just by looking at me.

,,We missed you too, sweetie," Luisa smiled and hugged me tightly.

,,It was so quiet without you" Charlotte grinned and looked at Luisa.

I looked at them both with relief after the surprise. Of course I thanked Max, he had brought them here.
For which I am grateful. The rest of the day was even better, I could forget the fight and had fun with the two of them. We spent the rest of the afternoon at the track and I showed them around, of course they wanted to meet all the attractive drivers. Luisa particularly liked it, she especially liked Lando, which made me happy. By the way, the two of them would make a perfect couple. In the evening, we went shopping in the city and went out for dinner after all the effort. Around 11 pm, we were so tired that we went to the hotel and put on our pyjamas, watched a film and didn't even fall asleep halfway through.
