You didn't want to believe it. How could your sweet, caring, amazing boyfriend cheat on you? It was not in the cards for you. You talked about getting married. You talked about having kids. How could he fuck it all up?
How could Ava? It does take two to tango, and you remembered meeting her clearly. You had gone to the newest Quadrant merch photoshoot, and Ria introduced you as Lando's future spouse to Ava. Looking back, you remember the sneer on her face, and when you asked, she said it was a strong smell or something that irritated her. God, you should have said something!
You had spent the last week thinking everything over, and it seemed just as bad as the first day. Thankfully, Lando had to go to Woking after the last race, so he hasn't come home yet. Then, he was going to visit his family and Max before coming back to the apartment for the last bit of the summer break.
Your head was spinning, and the room was spinning. It was a bad idea, looking back, but alcohol was the only thing numbing the pain at this point. It's been hard trying to move on. You accepted that your relationship was over, but that's seven years you grew with Lando by your side.
Now, suddenly, you didn't know who you were. You were completely lost.
Some part of you felt guilty. Maybe you did something to make him cheat in the first place. Maybe he wasn't happy with your sex life, and that's why he went to Ava.
You tried to see the good in it, but it was too hard. You kept all of this pain inside you because you didn't want to burden anyone. Your family would say they told you so. They never supported your relationship with Lando. Most of your friends were also friends of Lando, and they would side with him. Your other friends would probably laugh in your face.
You were all alone to face this.
You wanted to tell your subscribers. They started to notice your mood drop, and they were getting concerned. You wanted to yell from the rooftops that Lando Norris is a cheater, but you couldn't. That's defamation because you don't have solid evidence. You wanted to tell anyone who would listen, but you didn't want to beg for attention.
You just wanted to be heard. You wanted to be seen. You wanted to do anything.
You wanted to tell Oscar, but you didn't want him to worry. He would probably drop everything to get you out of the apartment, but he's with Lando in Woking. The last thing you needed was Lando peaking at Oscar's phone and seeing your name. So you pretend to be fine.
Until it all came crashing down with an incoming phone call.
<em>Oscar Piastri</em>
You debated answering it. You were still on the verge of blacking out from how much alcohol you drank. You could barely move, so you let the phone ring out.
Moments later, another call came through.
<em>Oscar Piastri</em>
Again, you let it ring out as your vision started fading in the corners. If this was your end, you were ready for it. You weren't sure how you were meant to live after this. You just felt so lost. Your thoughts were once again interrupted by another call.
<em>Oscar Piastri</em>
You finally found the strength to turn your head to look at the notifications. 24 missed calls from Oscar and 13 texts, ranging from asking if you were okay to him asking if he needs to show up. After the last call rang out, making it 25 missed calls, a text came through.
"I'm coming over, and I know where the spare key is."
The last thing you wanted was to have Oscar see you in this state. You struggled to grab your phone and clumsily hit the notification for the missed call. It immediately redialed Oscar's number. It didn't take more than two rings for him to answer.
"Are you okay? Why didn't you answer?" He rushed out. You could tell he was in a car by the background noise, but you didn't actually listen to what he was saying. You couldn't form words and you felt like you were struggling to breathe as you let out a choked sob. There were no tears at this point, but it still felt as draining. Oscar decided to change up his approach, "Hey, tell me what's going on."
"If you only knew," You trailed off, your voice quiet and hoarse as you chuckled at your situation. "If you only knew what my mind is telling me I should do."
"Are you safe? Where are you?" He pushed for your answer.
"I'm drunk and all alone in my room," You answered weakly, spacing out and staring at the ceiling. You can vaguely hear Oscar ask something, but you're too focused on nothing. "I'm too sad to cry, my brain is putting me through some shit, and I don't know anything anymore. I'm sorry, but you said to text you if I need you. Well, I need you."
"I'm almost there, just breathe for me please," He tried to drive faster but the cars on the road were making it impossible.
"If you only knew," You were hyperventilating but there was no stopping the word waterfall once it started. "I'm constantly overwhelmed. I wish I was someone else. I wish I had called for help sooner. I am falling and I can't stop. I don't know what I should be doing. I don't know who I am. I wanna get better, Oscar, I do, but I don't know where I'm going. I want you to know, I admit it, I can't do this on my own, Oscar. This is my plea for help. Please, I need you."
You were finally able to let all of the feelings out. It felt good being able to cry for once. Oscar just had to listen in agony that he wasn't there to help you at that moment. He had just pulled into the apartment lot and found a parking spot before running into the building to get let up to your apartment floor.
You were still breathing heavily and unevenly when Oscar came running straight into your room, wrapping his arms around your shaking form. He was grounding you, and helping coax your breathing back to a normal pace. However, you still had something to get off your chest.
"Oscar, take me out of this hell," You cried as you looked up at him and held his face in your hands. "I need you to help me out of here. I can't keep living like this. I don't care how, but I need to get out of this hell. If you don't, I will. I can't do this anymore, Oscar, please." You trailed off before leaning your head against his chest as all of your anger finally dissolved.
"I'll take you anywhere you wanna go," He whispered as he held all of your weight against him. He felt so bad that he was (in a way) the cause of your pain, but he couldn't stand seeing you live blissfully unaware of the deception Lando was causing you. He vowed that night to help you in any and every way possible.
