Lando's POV
I walked with Luna through the paddock. I hoped Skye would have time today to take care of Luna, atleast before the practices because I postponed a lot of interviews and I had to do them today.
I walked in the Red Bull hospitality, Skye was laughing with Max and Chloe. I guess she was doing fine. Luna ran up to her, I could tell she missed her a lot. "Hi sorry to bother you but can you please look after her? I really have to do interviews today" I said as I was standing in front of their table. "Sure but I have to work during the practices as well" she said as she put Luna on her lap. I just nodded, I knew she had to work during the practices, she didn't have to tell me every day. "Thanks Skye" It felt so weird to call her by her name, I wish I could just grab her face and kiss the shit out of her. I wanted to taste her again, I wanted to feel her again.
But instead of doing all that, I just turned around and walked out of their hospitality.
"Wait Lando" Chloe ran after me. I turned around. It was the wrong girl who was chasing me.
"She cried over you. She cried for days" Chloe said as she was standing in front of me. "I know" I said. She looked at me confused. "Then why didn't you reach out to her? Why didn't you ask her if she's fine?" She shook her head in disappointment. "Because I'm hurting too Chloe" I looked up at her. I looked her straight in her eyes but I was fighting back my tears. "Because I'm afraid that if I see her crying in front of me, I'll apologize for everything I have ever done wrong and beg for her to take me back" I stopped for a second before shaking my head. "I can't do that. She deserves to be happy even if it's without me" I looked back down.
Chloe wrapped her arms around me and hugged me.
I missed Skye so much, I wish I could make her happy, I wish I could make her laugh again like we used to. "Is she happy atleast?" I asked as I took a step back. "Not yet, but I guess it will take time." she said softly. She knew she didn't need to ask me that question, she knew I wasn't happy.

After I finished all my interviews, I sat down in front of my hospitality. I titled my head as I saw Skye and Lexi walk together through the paddock, laughing as if nothing ever happened.
Times really did change. Since when were they friends again?
"Weird right?" Imani said as she sat down with me. She was referring to the same thing. "When did they start to be friends again?" I looked at her. Imani and I weren't really friends either but if Skye could forgive Lexi than I sure as hell could forgive Imani.
"I don't know. I guess since yesterday. They went to grab lunch together" she explained. Okay, so she was too busy to watch Luna because she wanted to go to lunch with Lexi?
I had to postpone my interviews because she wanted to gossip with her?
I shook my head. I didn't even recognize her lately.
"Max likes her" she broke the silence between us with something I didn't wanna hear at all. I looked at her. "What do you mean?" I knew they were good friends, probably even best friends but I never noticed he liked her more than a friend. "He told Charles. Don't you notice that they're always together lately? She went out with him yesterday." I don't know how to explain the feeling I had right now. My heart broke in a million pieces again, I was stupid for thinking she probably just needed a bit of time.
It was another lie I could add to her list. She went out with him, so she probably liked him too. Was he the reason we broke up?
I put my hand through my hair as I sighed. "What are you thinking about?" Imani asked.
"That I will do everything to make sure they won't win this fucking championship" I said as I got up and walked to the garage.
I couldn't save our relationship anymore, I couldn't control who she liked, I couldn't make her happy anymore but I sure as hell could win this championship.
I don't know how I walked to the garage but as soon as I reached my car I broke down.
I kneeled in front of my car and leaned against the wheel. I fucking lost her. What was I thinking? She was way more important than this stupid championship, I'd throw it all away for her, over and over again.
Jon kneeled down next to me and put his hand on my back. I looked up at him. "I miss her" it's all I could say but it summed it up perfectly. "I know you do"
