Differences [Lando Norris] (finished)

37

I watched Miranthe leave with her dad, as i stayed at the harbour to look at the amount of yachts. I leaned onto the railing and lowered my head a little. I realised how much influence people like Miranthe have on me. They make me act like someone different. I didn't feel myself around them and if I did feel myself they'd probably think weird of me. Even after everything I have been through the past two years, my father hurt me the most with his new lover. I didn't know the woman very well, but the first time I saw her having an affair with my father I knew she was only after his money than his sharing a live with him.

But who am I to judge them? At least he's happy, and living the life in Hawaii. And me, I had sex with the person who always showed interest in me and my life. I never knew I'd grow feelings for him, and after my first encounter with drugs I made my confession to him. I did like him. But it was weird since he used to babysit me and now we are here. I shook my thoughts away and decided to walk home. While I walked I felt the sun warming me up. It was a lovely feeling and I enjoyed every second I spend in the sun. I wanted to walk Pug around the beach he would love it. But then I remembered he had gotten sick. There was some moisture found in his brain. And right where his motor was, before he went to surgery he paralysed his back legs making him not able to walk. My dad had given him a small doggy wheelchair. But then I realised I felt empty without Pug around me. Then I remembered what Max had said. I'm going back to England. I can see Pug, and dad with his new family. But at least I could hug my little boy.

I made my way up the stairs of the apartment complex, at the same time I ran my hand over the railing. Catching some dust, I looked at it and wiped my fingers clean on my jeans. When I arrived at Lando's door I stuck the keys in the lock and twisted opening the door. I was greeted by Lando lifting up a glass of water.
'How was it?' He asked me. I shrugged at him and went to my room. I closed the door behind me and jumped in my covers. It was horrible. I prefer being alone.
I closed my eyes and imagined being back in the UK. Seeing my old friends, Pug, the old bakery. All of it, I missed so much these past two years. Lando knocked on my door, 'everything okay? Ali?' He asked. I grunted and burrowed my head in my pillow. 'Ali?'
'I'm fine.' I growled. But then I heard the door open and Lando stood now by my nightstand. I peeked up. 'You're not fine.' He sat down onto my bed. He down at me, 'did something happen?'
I sighed and turned around so I could sit up straight. 'No, but Miranthe is a pain in my ass.'
'Whys that?'
'She puts herself above me, every single time we are together. She acts like I've no money, no intelligence that I'm some poor person kissing her shoes for money.' I rubbed my tear away.
'Well are you?'
'No...' I sniffed.
'Then don't let these words get you down. You behave like a whole different person than who you really are. I don't like seeing you like this. I want Alice, the girl I had to babysit every goddamn time, the girl who made my days better when I felt like giving up.' He lifted my chin up and forced a smile on his face. I smiled a little, 'you should show them who you really are. I bet the girls will like you even more.'
I stared at him. 'You're right.'
'I'm always right.' He smiled.
He made me blush, and he then gave me a hug. He held me tightly against his body. I felt his warmth and could smell his parfum. I laid my hand on his back and closed my eyes.
I needed this.
