VIII. Leaked Song

BRIGHTON: September 2023

INSTAGRAM:

Mich watched in worry as Mia listened to the new song she was working on. The older sister was always there with her when Lando wasn't. And right now, hearing the new song that her sister had wrote overnight, her heart broke.

As much as Mia accepted in meeting their uncle's friend, the news of Lando meeting someone else, and hearing him talk about her like she was everything really triggered something in Mia.

And Mich knew that. She knew she had one outlet for this; her songs.

And that was what she was doing.

As Mia was talking to her producer on how to tweak some things on the song, Mich felt her phone vibrate. Glancing at it, it was Seb.

"Mia." She called out. The singer looked at her sister. The sunken eyes made Mich frown, "Uncle calls. I'll respond before he thinks we're ignoring him." She said.

The singer chuckled and nodded, waving her away. Mich answered the call and walked out the door. "Hey." She said. She can hear Seb was shuffling around, she could only guess what he was doing.

"How is she?" he asked. He had seen her niece's Instagram story and was worried. Mich sighed and glanced at her sister through the glass panel of the door.

She was walking back inside the booth, "She's recording a new song." She mumbled. She heard her uncle sigh, "Is it bad?"

"Well its about crying on her guitar. You be the judge of that." Mich said as she leaned on the wall. "What are we going to do Seb? I don't want her to spiral." She muttered, remembering the days when they were young, when Mia would haul up in a corner and write as their parents fought over what to do with them.

That was before Seb got them and took guardianship.

"Let her for now. She agreed to meet Noah right?" he asked. Mich hummed and nodded, "She did."

"Okay, then she will when she wants to." Seb said, but he paused he didn't know how to ask but he knew it was important to know.

"Will you both be at the Qatar GP?" he asked. She sighed and walked back in just in time as Mia was walking out of the booth, "Hey, what did Seb want?" she asked Mich.

The older Vettel smiled, "Just asking if you wanted to go to the Qatar GP..." she trailed. Mia pursed her lips and gulped, "I mean, I promised Lando-" "What about what you want? Do you want to go?"

It took Mia a while, but she finally decided, "Let's go to the GP."

Mia sat down on her bed as she strummed her guitar. She didn't really know what the point of the live was, she was feeling another song request live and she did.

She looked at the comments, answering some questions. "Any songs you want to hear?" she asked. As her eyes were reading the comments, trying to find a good song to play, she was playing the tune of her song.

And as she was playing in she started to hum and sing, something she does all the time.

Can he tell I can't breathe?

And there he goes, so perfectly

The kind of flawless I wish I could be

She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love

Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky 'cause

She stopped when she read a comment. She realized that she was singing the song she had just recorded.

"Oh yeah, I'm working on some new songs." She said with a small smile. She gulped when the comments were requesting for more. She sighed, "I-okay." She muttered.

Mia started to play and was staring at the strings. She knew the chords by heart and she also knew which lyrics she can sing.

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the lights

I'll put his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight

'Cause he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar

The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart

He's the song in the car, I keep singing don't know why I do

He's the time taken up, but there's even enough

And he's all that I need to fall into

He looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see

In Monaco, Lando sat on his sofa, his phone in hand as he watched Mia finish her live. He was stunned, a new song and he didn't know.

It was a new song and she didn't tell him.

He wasn't mad.

He was worried.

It seemed as though Mia was so sad while singing it. The lyrics, they were so sad.

Lando's blood started to boil, it was definitely about the guy she likes. And he wanted to hit him, hurt him. She sounded so hurt, how can someone hurt someone like her? Mia. Amelia Roche Vettel, deserves to be loved. Not hurt like this.
