"In a world where I felt so small, I somehow felt insanely loved. I felt like people cared about me..."
when upcoming singer nessa barrett & formula 1 future world champion lando norris cross paths at the las vegas grand prix, tensions rise and feel...
"She wants to go trin she's scared to be here, I don't know what to do anymore, I want to take her back home, I want to take her everywhere with me but I don't want to stop her fulfilling her dreams" I cried.
"Look lando, if she wants to go with you, we can pack her bags tomorrow and you guys can get a flight as soon as possible, I will come and visit. I know it will be different this time, I believe in you, I'm okay with you taking her again because I know you will care for her, I know she's safe with you." She reassured me.
Me and trin had been talking for the past hour or so about nessa moving to Monaco with me fully, I was actually excited and happy that trin was agreeing to all of this but in a sense I felt guilty because id feel like I'm taking nessa away from trin. I didn't want to do that but trin is that good of a friend I think she'd be happy wherever nessa is in the world as long as she is safe and being cared for.
I began searching for the next flight back and packing my bags along with some of her extra bits, it did break my heart that she didn't want to stay here but at the same time I don't think id want to stay in a city where this happened to me. She'd have enough time before the season starts to recuperate and come along the f1 calendar with me.
"Good morning beautiful" I cooed stroking her head, today is the day!" I added.
"Are we finally going back to Monaco?" She asked.
"Indeed we are, pack your things" I let out.
She immediately shot out of bed and began to pack, it was like in Monaco all of her issues went away, she could be free from everything she went through here.

Hearing those words leave landos mouth was enough to put a spring in my step and to get me out of bed this morning. As sad as I was to leave my best friend I knew she would understand that this is for the best and it's going to be the only way I can heal.
I began to pack away my things and make sure I hadn't left anything behind. Lando insisted on coming with me while I got ready after what happened yesterday, he just didn't want me to be alone.
I left my hair down and applied some natural makeup to make me look a tiny more bit alive than I did.

once i'd finished getting ready i packed all my last bits id left out that id needed today and i went to spend my last half an hour or so with my best friend. lando was in the living room sorting out some bits and bobs for when we are back in monaco. it felt good to be able to have one last half an hour without my best friend for the last time in a long time.
we talked and she reassured me that life will be better in monaco and that it is so much safer, she told me lando had promised to fully look after me and take care of any of my needs and that once i was better which would hopefully be the start of the season, i could go to races with him.
it was time to leave and i gave my best friend one last hug before turning around and waving to her, a tear almost fell down my cheek and i knew if i looked back to her more would fall so i just focused on lando and continued walking to the hire car he had rented when he flew over here a couple of months ago.
"you all ready?" he asked.
"more ready than i've ever been." i chuckled
three months ago when i was dragged out of my city, i hated the thought of living here, now three months on i wanted anything but to be here, i wanted to be anywhere but here.
we headed straight to the airport, blasting music and singing and dancing, i was beginning to enjoy having his company more than i ever had.
i didn't know how my new life was going to be, but i had to give it a shot, it had to be better than here.
once we got to the airport, we checked in and headed to our gate. lando sat there, holding my hand the entire time not letting go making sure i felt safe.
we boarded the plane and had a row to ourselves, of course lando let me have the window seat. we both got ourselves comfy and began to do our own thing. lando nodded off to sleep and i decided to just shut my eyes and listen to music.
thoughts rushed around in my head, but for the first time in months they were good thoughts. i began to think about the new opportunities that will be thrown at me, the new people im going to meet. the choices me and lando will make together, all the travelling i'm going to do and all of the sights im going to see. i was even beginning to feel hopeful about my music, everything just felt great.
12 hours later we finally landed in the south of france, luckily it isn't a long drive to monaco. lando had hired an uber to take us back to the apartment. we headed out of the airport and was greeted by a lovely driver.
i buckled myself into the car and began to write some music, i knew what i wanted to write for once.
"thinking i'd never see you again, my heart was broken" i said out loud.
