Number 4| Lando Norris|

Chapter Eight

Y/N's POV:
It's been just a few days since I got home and I still haven't answered Lorenzo's text although he has sent me a few more since then. Ever since I saw Lorenzo in Australia it's been on my mind that he wants to get back together with me. I know I'm much happier with Lando but I don't know if that's going anywhere and part of me wonders if Lorenzo would treat me better than he used to if I got back with him. Carlos and I are currently being driven to the airport to fly to Japan. He's listening to music and I'm lost in thought. I open Lorenzo's most recent text.
Y/N please answer me.
I roll my eyes at his message deciding not to respond. I notice that we're almost at the airport and I get ready to get out of the car. When we arrive at the airport Carlos and I get out of the car and grab our luggage. We walk into the airport and check our luggage in before heading to security. We sit down and wait for our flight to board.
"You seemed really distracted in the car. Is everything okay?" Carlos asks me suddenly. I sigh debating if I should tell him or not.
"Promise not to tell anyone." I say cautiously.
"You're my sister. I promise I won't tell anyone anything you don't want me to say." He says suddenly concerned.
"Lorenzo's been sending me texts." I say pulling the texts up on my phone. Carlos reads them and I notice the anger grow on his face.
"Have you told Lando?" He immediately asks me handing me my phone back.
"No you're the first person I've told." I tell him.
"Okay, I won't tell anyone." He assures me before asking a follow-up question."You're not going to talk to Lorenzo though. Right?"
I sigh softly trying to work out how to explain my thought process to him.
"Probably not" I say honestly. "I'm really happy with Lando but I don't know where it's going. Part of me wonders that if Lorenzo and I got back together, he'd treat me better."  Carlos just sighs.
"Y/N, Lorenzo was very toxic especially towards the end. I get that you maybe didn't get closure but talking to him or even taking him back would not be a good choice."  Carlos explains lightly to me, clearly worried about how I'll react. "Plus, you have Lando although if you're having these thoughts... don't you think you should tell him."
"No, I'm not gonna tell him. I just need Lorenzo to stop texting me. He's gonna mess everything up." I jump in quickly. "I don't even know why I was thinking that way."
"It's okay Y/N. You just need to work out if something with Lando is really what you want." He tries to advise me.
"But I do, I don't even know why-" I get cut off before I can finish. There's an announcement made that our plane is starting to board. Carlos looks at me.
"Don't worry Y/N. Just relax" He says before we stand up and walk to our gate. We board our plane and quickly take our seats. For the majority of the flight I listen to music and for the last twenty minutes I think about what my brother said to me. He's right I shouldn't think about Lorenzo anymore, he wasn't good for me and Lando and I aren't even dating and he treats me better than Lorenzo ever did. I start to think about my week with Lando in Monaco and how was so sweet and caring the entire time. My heart flutters slightly at the thought of seeing him soon. Suddenly I realize that a relationship with Lando is what I want. Lorenzo never made me feel like Lando has. I turn to my brother.
"Thank you Carlos." I say softly.
"For what?" He asks confused.
"Helping me work out what I want." I respond.
"And what's that?"
" I want a relationship with Lando." I say before pausing. "When we land I'm going to block Lorenzo's number." Carlos smiles when I say this.
"I'm proud of you." He says softly. Soon our plane has landed and we're waiting for our luggage at baggage claim. I go onto my phone and open Lorenzo's contact. Carlos watches me intently as I hit the block button before putting my phone back in my pocket.
"That felt so good." I say honestly looking up at him. He just smiles and hugs me.
"There's our bags." He says letting go and running to grab both of our bags. We head out of the airport and get a taxi to the hotel that the drivers are staying at. Once we get there we head straight to the hotel lobby to check in. Like usual, Carlos checks in while I find somewhere to wait in the lobby. I look around seeing if I can see any other drivers, Lando in particular. But to my disappointment there isn't a single person I recognize in the lobby. Eventually my brother finishes checking in and is walking back over to me.
"Here." Carlos says, handing me my room key. "Don't forget about dinner tonight."
"I won't don't worry." I reassure him, taking the room key. We make our way towards the elevators. Once I get inside of my room I switch on the TV and watch it for a bit. Soon it's time for me to get ready for dinner. We're just going to the hotel restaurant, which looks surprisingly fancy. Carlos told me that he invited some of the other drivers but he wouldn't tell me who. I hope he invited Lando. I do my makeup quickly before looking through my suitcase to decide what to wear.
