Ich Liebe Dich, Lena ~ pt 2

☆ One ☆

2 months. I went missing for a whole 2 months. I genuinely didn't think I would ever see Lando or Daxie again. I thought he would have moved on. It came to the first race of the season. The German Grand Prix at Nürburgring. My dad dragged me there to watch the race and it broke my heart to see Lando in the paddock with Daxie in his arms. He was refusing to get in the car. Probably because of me. It was one of the German Grand Prix's and it must have made him think about me. They had to get the reserve driver in for Lando. I managed to escape my dad while we were there. I somehow managed to get my phone out of his pocket and I ran for miles. I was so exhausted but I had made it. I didn't have anything besides my phone and of course it was dead. I had to get into multiple different cars with different people to get back to Monaco. It took ages to get in but I managed it. It took a week for me to get from Nürburgring to Monaco but I managed it. I had my key attached to my phone case so I got into our apartment and sat around for a bit. Lando would be back from the French Grand Prix any minute now. I looked to see how he did but he retired half way through. Apparently he wasn't feeling well. I knew that him seeing me would make him feel better. I heard the door unlock and he walked in and turned on the light and saw me. He was scared at first but then realised who I was. Even with all the bruises and cuts I had. My dad even shaved my head so I really didn't look like myself but Daxie recognised me instantly. She ran and jumped on my lap while Lando just stood there.

"Lena..? Is that you?" Is all I heard from him. I nodded with a smile.

"Hi, meine liebe" I said. Lando immediately ran to me and covered my face in kisses while holding me close. We were both covered in each other's tears. 2 whole months apart

"I thought I lost you" he said through his tears.

"I'm here now... I'm never going again" I said. Lando held me close for ages. He looked up at my hair. My non-existent hair. He looked at all my cuts and bruises too. I could see the horror in his face.

"Lena... what happened? Who did this to you?" He said as he put his hand on my head and tried to play with the small hairs there.

"It's a long story, Lan..." I said while holding his hands.

"Take your time. I'm here for you" he said. I took a deep breath and started to talk

"you know that I went to get us drinks when we were on our ski trip, right?" I said. He nodded so I continued. "my dad was there. I don't know how he found me but he did. He must have escaped prison or something. He literally kidnapped me and took me back to Germany. He kept me locked in a room for literally months and I tried to escape two weeks ago but I didn't succeed so he shaved my hair as punishment and beat me up as well as cut me multiple times. He forced me to go to the Grand Prix at the start of the season. He forced me to go to the first German one. He wanted me to feel the pain of watching you being all depressed. I managed to escape him while I was there though and they ended up arresting him and now he's back in prison for life. High security too. I've literally spent the last week trying to get from Germany to here and I still had my key for here so I just came back in" I explained. I could see Lando's heart breaking in front of me. His eyes started filling with tears as he pulled me back into his arms. "I thought you would have moved on... I thought you would have given up on me" I said. He held me close and pulled back to look at my face

"Never. I knew you were still out there somewhere. Even when no one else did. I never gave up on you" he said as he wiped away a tear that had escaped from his eye, never wanting to let go of me. I looked at the floor where Daxie was and I noticed that she didn't play with any of her toys in that moment. Did she play with her toys at all?

"Has Daxie not been playing with her toys?" I asked.

"No, she hasn't" he said. I couldn't think why. I then realised that she hadn't played with all the ones I used to play with her. "I don't know why though... she's been like this since you left" he said as he threw one of Daxie's toys in her direction but she didn't move. She ignored it completely.

"It's all the toys I would play with her... they must have made her think of me" I said while grabbing one of Daxie's toys and placing it in front of her.

"Lena..." Lando said as he placed his hand on my arm. He didn't want me to get my hopes up but then Daxie picked up the toy and jumped up on my lap. My eyes immediately filled with tears.

"she knows... she knows I'm back..." I said as Daxie started licking my tears. Daxie eventually stopped and looked at me with tears in her eyes. I didn't even know dogs could cry... "has she been doing that a lot?" I asked.

"Yeah. She's been crying and whimpering most days. She's sat at the door almost everyday we've been here. waiting for you" he said. I couldn't believe that our pup was actually crying. I cuddled Daxie and Lando pushed his hand through my shaved head. I think that broke my heart the most was the fact that I had my hair exactly how I wanted and then my dad shaved it. "I'll buy you a wig that looks exactly how your hair did look. I know how much your hair gives you confidence" he said. I was not expecting that but it was so sweet. I nodded and threw Daxie's toy for her to fetch. When I got up to grab another toy I had an extremely sharp pain in my leg. My dad broke my leg while I was there by pushing me down the stairs and I guess it didn't heal properly or something. It had been hurting like this for weeks every time I stood on it. Lando took me to hospital within a few minutes. Turns out my leg healed crooked which was why it was causing me so much pain and the only way to fix it was to re-break my leg. You could see the horror on my face when they told me that. I looked at Lando and he squeezed my hand. "I'm with you, sweetheart. We're gonna get through this together" he said.

"I don't wanna..." I said. I was terrified. Imagine having to forcefully break your leg. It's bad enough when you accidentally break your leg.

"I know, love. But remember, it's for the better. Once it heals properly, you won't have to deal with this pain again" he said.

"Just do it" I said. I was literally crying my eyes out and it hadn't even started. I had a high pain tolerance but not like that. I gripped onto Lando's hand, wrist & arm while they started trying to break it. I was screaming like crazy. I could see Lando with tears running down his face as he saw the pain I was in.

"You're doing amazing, Lena. Hang in there, baby. It'll be over soon" he said through his tears while holding my hand. I screamed so loud that I broke a glass in there. Lando flinched when he heard the glass break as well as my blood curdling scream but they finally broke my leg. I could see his heart breaking into a million pieces as he watched me in so much pain. "Shh... it's alright, Lena" he said while cuddling me the best he could while kissing my head. I was still crying like crazy. They put a massive leg brace on me as well as a cast so I could still walk on it but it was a pain in the fucking ass. I did not want to come home like this.
