A promise to keep [Lando Norris]

Meg

"Are you fucking kidding me Megan!" Ezra shouts down the other end of the phone. I had just told him that I was planning on staying here, I wasn't going to be coming home.

I knew that we were a couple, that these decisions should be discussed between us both but Ezra was impossible to deal with right now. I had to put myself first, I was 20 years old I had to live my life.

It wasn't exactly like Ezra would put me first.

"It's a big opportunity Ez" I breath out, I knew this would be a fight. That's why I had put off telling him, we were leaving in a few days I knew the turn around was fast. I also knew that Ezra wouldn't be able to cope without me doing everything for him.

He was a man child.

"I don't care!" He snaps "You're running away from all your problems, you need a job otherwise you will lose your apartment"

My apartment?

More like the place he has been living rent free, I knew that was all he cared about. Since I was out of his trap, I really did notice how much of a bad person he was.

It was like I was blinded until I was taken away from the situation. From his little mind-games.

"Ez, I'm giving up the apartment-"

"You're so selfish, what am I supposed to do?" He speaks, all he cared about was where he was living. He had his own place, but mine was better so he wanted the high life.

I knew he had invited his friends around to my place over and over again. He would host parties and gatherings without my permission but I let it slide.

I let way too much slide, I was done.

"Yknow what Ezra, I don't care what you're going to do. You're a grown fucking man, I am not your mother snd you need too grow up. I am doing this because it is what is best for me, if you actually cared about me like you pretend you do then you would be happy for me" I really couldn't hold it back anymore.

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying I'm done" I breath out, I had finally stood up for myself and it felt strange.

"You're not breaking up with me?"

"Ezra you can never be happy for me"

"Oh come on Meg, I will come see you soon and we will sort this-"

"No Ez, you won't"

I don't listen to anything else he has to say, I just end the phone call. I wish I wasn't upset, I wish the tears didn't start to fall. But they did, tears fell down my face as I stare forward at the wall.

I sat on my bed, my legs dangling off as I stare forward. I hated being upset, I hated that my life had fallen apart so quickly. A week ago I lost my job and now I just ended the only relationship I knew.

The only love I had ever felt.

I hear my bedroom door knock, my hands come to my cheek quickly too wipe the tears. I didn't know if it would be Lando or Max but either way I didn't need questions right now.

"Come in" I speak trying to make myself look like I wasn't having a mental breakdown.

It was coming.

The door opens to reveal Max, he walks into my room. Right away his eyes connect with mine, he knew I was crying. I could see it in his eyes, he wasn't sure whether to mention it or not.

"Are you okay?" He asks me, unsure if he should walk into the room or not. I watched him stand in the doorway, he was scared to come closer.

Scared that if he did I would scream at him, he did know me too well. In fact I was doing all I could right now to not tell him to fuck off, I knew the second I told him Ez and I broke up he would just make some shitty comment I didn't need.
