"you never told me olivia could sing like that!" lando pushed his phone into oscar's face, displaying the video the brunette had posted of her singing.

"what is this?" oscar watched, puzzled.

lando shrugged, sitting down beside the aussie, "she just posted it an hour ago."

oscar handed the brit his phone, "yeah, well you never asked."

lando nodded slowly, "is everything okay, with you and olivia?"

"what? why do you ask that?" oscar answered, accusatorially. lando raised his hands up.

"i'm just making an observation, mate. you've been all moody since we got back from australia. i'm just asking if it has something to do with her."

oscar shook his head, "olivia and i are fine."

"olivia." lando stated, getting up.

"what?"

"you called her olivia. not livvy." the brit shrugged before walking away and leaving the aussie dumbfounded.

oscar let out a frustrated sigh. he pulled out his phone from his back pocket and opened instagram. olivia's post was the first to pop up on his timeline, he clicked the reel and put the volume higher.

stranded, reaching out
i call your name but you're not around

oscar gulped.

i need you, i need you, i need you right now

the aussie closed his eyes, listening to the pain in olivia's voice as she sung the lyrics.

i think i'm losing my mind now
it's in my head, darling, i hope that you'll be here when i need you the most

"shit." he muttered.

so don't let me down.

oscar ran his hands down his face after putting his phone away. he let out a deep sigh. he lifted his head, jumping at the sight of lando smirking down at him.

"jesus christ, man! i thought you left. how long have you been standing there?"

"andrea told me to come back and get you." lando shrugged, "but you were listening to liv's song."

oscar stared up at his teammate, debating whether or not to confide in the brit. "it's all my fault, lando." he caved. "i've screwed up. i've been a dick to olivia and for the most stupid fucking reason."

"yeah, no shit. you let your jealousy get the better of you, man. thank god you finally see it."

"i let my— wait, how did you know i was jealous?"

lando rolled his eyes, "it's not like it's the most obvious thing in the world, mate. you're so whipped for her i'm genuinely shocked she hasn't seen it yet."

oscar was dumbfounded, "am i really that obvious?"

lando nodded his head vigorously. "look, i know it sucks for you to see the girl you love with someone else, but you're her best friend oscar. she counts on you. she trusts you. and you stopped talking to her  because you're jealous that she's happy with someone that isn't you?"

oscar's head fell in his hands again as he listened to lando, his teammate was right. he was right about everything.

"i know. i'm a idiot." the aussie groaned, imagining how upset the girl must have been and all because of him.

"yeah, you are." oscar looked up at the brit, lando shook his head, "i'm not gonna be nice and support you. this was a dick move on your part and you better fix it."

"i will. i promise." lando smiled.

"good. now stop sulking, they need us in the sim."

oscar followed lando through the halls, but he couldn't shake the feeling of hurting olivia. it was true, oscar loved her. he never meant to hurt her, he was just trying to save his own heart, but he understood where his approach to protecting himself became selfish.

at that moment, oscar piastri promised himself to never hurt olivia alvarez again.
