"Shit I promised I'd meet my mom for lunch today guys I'm sorry I've got to run." Liam says checking his watch before heading towards the door of my hotel room.
"Tell her I said hi! I miss her a lot!" I reply.
Liam's mom had always been a mother figure to me as I barely even knew my real mom.
I mean of course I knew her name and what she looked like but she was never around much.
The last time I saw her in person was when I was seven so yes, it's been a while.
The door slams shut and it's just Lando and I.
I decide to break the silence, "this room is actually huge, I've never been in such a nice hotel room b-"
"Lacy are you ok?" Lando says interrupting my ramble.
"What yes I'm fine." I say somewhat agitated.
I hated people thinking I was weak and after yesterday I was afraid Lando had seen too much.
"Ok I'm just making sure. I'm just-"
"You're just what?"
"If I'm being honest I don't know how he could have ever hurt someone like you."
"The hell is that supposed to mean?"
"Good god you're Lacy Katz! You're one of the most talented drivers of this generation and that asshole can't even support you. Isn't your boyfriend supposed to be your number one fan?"
I'm suddenly transported to another realm.
Number one fan.
I never responded to my father's message.
He doesn't deserve a response.
"No Lando I'm my own number one fan. Please stop trying to protect me, or wipe my tears. I don't need your help I'm perfectly capable on my own."
"Alright I just wanted you to feel comfortable around me in case you needed anything. I mean we're teamates after all right?"
"You're right I'm sorry."
To be honest I do feel really comfortable around him.
It's something I've never felt.
I'm too scared to admit that though.
"Well if you need me Lacy I'll be a quick walk from the hotel."
"What? You're not staying here?" I asked with a little too much fear in my voice.
"Yes I have an apartment complex nearby that I bought last year. Are you going to be ok?"
Although I had just finished saying that I was fine on my own, to be honest I wasn't.
I didn't want to be alone right now.
I was scared to be with my thoughts.
I was scared how I would feel.
I was scared what I would do.
"Yep I'll be fine." I say forcing a smile.
"Well I'm only a phone call away." Lando says before leaving my hotel room.
The silence was way too loud.
I could hear every detail of the room.
The hum of the air conditioning.
The wind rustling through the sheer white curtains that draped across the window.
The tick of the analogue clock perched up on the wall.
