Wrong Decisions - George Russel

Chapter 1 / Lily's POV

Annoyed, I look out the window, have my music on the headphones extra loud so that nobody speaks to me. Now I'm sitting here on the plane to Bahrain and why? So my dad can stalk my life... really great. Of course, my father now taps me on the shoulder . He just doesn't understand the signs when I just want my peace...

Annoyed, I take an Airpod out of my ear and look at him... „What?"

„How often do we play this game now" He ask„Just enjoy the break. You will see many different countries and you will definitely make new friends."

„ I don't need new friends.."and I think he knows that..

„Darling we had that topic didn't we? You have to understand that it's because of your friends that you've crashed your life..."

Is he serious? It was my choices.. my friends had nothing to do with it.It was my own decision „I made the decision... nobody else" I said short and quick.

„I think it's good that you see the mistakes but I don't want you to have contact with these people" As if he hadn't said that a thousand times before but I still don't care „yes yes blah blah..."

„Are you happy to see Max again" Does he mean the question seriously?

„Well, at least a normal person that I then have around me. Although he also betrayed me"

„He didn't betrayed you...I just hope we can spend some time together too"my father say.

He didn't betray me? I've known Max since he was part of my father's team. We often went to parties together when he was in England. My friends were there a couple of times. Once it escalated unhappily and what does Max do? Go to my father and tell him. Supposedly just to protect me.. but who believes him? I'm not...

„Oh, now you want to spend time together? After the black sheep of thefamily is locked up here"i'm just saying..

My father shakes his head and rolls his eyes. „Enjoy the flight darling.I hope you quickly realize that it will be a great experience here and that you are not locked in"

I say nothing and put the Airpod back in my ear. Hope the flight goes by quickly.My wish comes true and we are already in the hotel.Of course, my father has the room right next to mine... I'll just say stalker.

Just as I am leaving my room, my father's door opens as well...„ Where do you want to go now?" He ask me.

„Dad, I'm not a little kid anymore,I guess I can walk around town a bit." I'm already annoyed that I can't do a step here without being checked.

„Alright, but we're going out to dinner with some people from work tonight...by 8 o'clock. Then please be ready"...Oh no, I had forgotten that, another gala where you just sit around and smile.I roll my eyes and walk out of the hotel.

I'm strolling through Bahrain and walk through the small alleys as I go to the market square and bump into someone.I look up and someone is holding out his hand.I look into wonderful eyes but slap his hand aside and stand up by myself.

„Just be more careful next time.."I sounded annoyed but I was, why hide it from someone I don't know...this guy is surprised at your reaction.

„Yes, I wish you a great day too" He smiles at me. Why is he smiling like that?

„Is that supposed to be funny?"now he will realize that he should just leave me alone, right? I can't answer any more rudely than that.

„I see bad day today huh? I'm surprised that he doesn't let me provoke him at all.

„Lily? There you are..."I recognize the voice immediately and turn around. „Hey Maxie, what can I do for you?"I ask and Max hugs me. „Nice that you're still so stubborn. I've always liked that about you...Oh Hi George, what are you doing here?"He looks at him. So George is his name. Fits somehow .. you can hear that he is also British by the accent and what name suits a Brit better than George?hmm maybe William... doesn't matter right now.

„Hi Mate, I was just taking a walk around town until I met this very friendly young lady"He winks at me and turns his head towards me and smiles politely again. How can he be so polite?

This time I have to smile briefly because of George's ironic friendly manner.
