And you don't think I can see ya, do ya?
I've been watchin' you for ages
And I spend my time tryin' not to feel it"

"hey." blair smiled as she walked into george's room where dahlia was resting once she got some food and water into her system. "how are you now?"
"shit." dahlia groaned as she sat up. "i haven't felt this bad since...i don't even know."
blair sat down next to her friend and put a arm around her. "i'm sorry for not believing you right away. that was messed up of me."
"it's fine." dahlia brushed it off. "i would've been the same if the roles were reversed."
"that wouldn't be the same." blair shook her head. "you and mick were best friends already. i should've never even thought about it. after everything you've been through...-it was just late and i saw the pictures and was so confused. i'm so sorry dee."
"it's alright blair." dahlia said truthfully. "i'm just glad you're here now."
blair smiled with relief, pulling her friend closer. "have you eaten?"
"yes. you can all stop worrying." dahlia sighed. ever since she practically collapsed into her brother's arms, everyone has been making sure she's eating and drinking, concerned for her and her worrying state. "have you seen him since?"
"no. i think he was with daniel and oscar for a bit before doing some more press."
"oh god, all the drivers probably think in horrible!" dahlia dropped her head into her hands at the realisation that it wasn't just between her and lando, and that the drivers and the whole world knew - but they didn't know. they didn't know how much dahlia hurt lando, how much of a terrible person she was.
"no!" blair quickly jumped in. "they're just as confused as any of us were. maybe if you wanna tell some of them and see if they can try help you get through to lando."
"yeah, that's actually a really smart idea." dahlia said, wiping the tears off her cheeks.
"you sound surprised." blair laughed.
"i told him i loved him bee." dahlia admitted after a minute of silence, pulling her knees closer to her chest.
"i know, george told me." blair bit her lip awkwardly. "you never said it before to him, did you?"
dahlia shook her head, tears brimming in her eyes. "i was scared to before...in case i got hurt again. but now...now i hurt him. i just- i had to tell him. at least once. i think i've always loved him deep down. even years ago."
"oh dee." blair sighed, pulling her friend into a tight hug. "it'll work itself out."
"what if it doesn't?" dahlias voice shook. "what if i messed it up for real this time?"
