"D-died?" Lando says, stuttering his words in shock.
You stay silent and nod. You didn't really want to talk to anyone anymore, or be around people.
"Lia I'm sure that there's a way this won't come back to you, I mean..." Charles starts to say but you just block him out.
You wanted to shout at them to leave you alone, but you couldn't. Your head was pounding and they were only trying to help.
So you get up, and lock yourself in the bathroom. They both stand there shocked and confused before knocking on the door to ask if you were ok.
You slide down the back of the door and pull your knees up to your chest. Silently, tears fall down your face and you had no idea what to do.
Your career will be ruined if this came to light. Lando, Charles, all your family would be thought badly of.
"Baby, come on. Open the door and talk to us." Lando says from the other side of the door.
"Allez princesse. Je sais que Noah a vraiment foutu en l'air ta vie ces dernières années. Mais cela ne représentera qu'une petite partie de votre vie après son incarcération. Tu vas vivre une belle vie avec Lando, vieillir ensemble. Finalement, Noah ne fera plus partie du passé. Mais pour que cela se produise, il faudra aller au tribunal. Mais vous ne serez pas seul, nous serons avec vous." Charles says softly.
"Come on princess. I know Noah has really fucked up your life over the last few years. But that will only be a small part of your life after this. You're going to live a good life with Lando, growing old together. Eventually , Noah will be a part of the past. But for that to happen, you'll have to go to court. But you will not be alone, we will be with you."
You smile through your tears at Charles' speech. You shuffle across the floor and unlock the bathroom door.
Lando opens the door and looks at you,worry in his eyes.
"Baby..." He whispers before kneeling down in front of you.
"I'm so sorry you had to go through that." He says, pulling you gently into his arms.
You place your head on his chest, your new found comfort place, and cry. Charles sits beside you and just sits.
You were all in silence, just sat there. And it was so comforting.
Two of your favourite people sat with you. Not doing anything else.
Finally, after about 10 minutes you decided to get up. After all, there was no point in wasting another second of your life sad because of Noah.
You were going to live your life,and that started today. Charles had helped you see that.
"We should do something today amor." You say to Lando after Charles had hesitantly left.
"Yeah of course, what are you thinking?" He replies.
"No clue, I just don't want to waste the day."
"It is a nice day, we could go shopping. Then later tonight I wanna take you out for food."
"Yeah?"
"You deserve it."
"Aww amor, your cute." You say, as Lando places his hands around your waist
"I know." He says, smiling at you as you lean on him.
"I have nothing to wear though." You say as you realise.
"We are going shopping aren't we?"
"Yeah, we are. I need to get ready though."
"Is 45 minutes enough?"
"Should be."
"Great, how's your head? Any better?" Lando asks, stroking your back gently.
"It's better but still not good."
"Take another medication before we leave then." Lando says.
"Okay amor!" You say, whilst walking into the bathroom.
(your outfit)
40 minutes later, you were both leaving the hotel room arms interlocked.
"What put you in a different mood then?" Lando asks, a large smile on his face.
"Charles made me realise something." You say, returning the smile.
"I'm guessing the french from before then?"
"Yeah..."
"So what did he say?"
"He told me that yes Noah has completely fucked my life recently, but soon enough he's no longer going to be part of my life so I should just start living it now." You say, looking up at Lando's eyes whilst you head towards his car.
He smiles down at you, dimples on show. God he was gorgeous. How in the world was he yours?
He was a famous formula one driver.
And you were a girl with a dream, and a fucked up past.Lando opens the door for you and gets in the driver seat. He takes his phone out of his pocket, and you couldn't see what he was doing but he gave you a side grin.
A second later, music starts playing from
his phone. You look across at him before laughing slightly."Your kidding right?" You ask.
"Not at all baby." He replies, laughing at your response before starting to sing along to "a sky full of stars."
You take your phone out and film him singing along and once he had finished, you posted a small clip to your instagram story and tagged him in it.
After many more songs, Lando pulls to a stop outside a shopping mall.
"Thank god you've stopped singing." You say as a joke.
He pulls a shocked face at you.
"Excuse me? I am a great singer, way better than you." Lando says sarcastically.
"Sure you are amor." You say, patting his arm.
Finally, you both get out of the car and enter the shopping mall. You went round shops for a few hours and of course, Lando didn't let you pay for a single thing.
Luckily, not many fans came up to you and Lando during the day. But the few who did were so nice and respectful to you both.
You got back to the hotel about 5 o'clock to get ready for your date with Lando that night.
"What time do I need to be ready for amor?"
"Maybe an hour?" Lando says, kissing you on the lips. You giggle and blush before kissing him back.
"Great." You say before entering the bathroom to get ready. You had probably spent more time in that bathroom then the actual hotel room.
