Back Together

❤︎︎ One ❤︎︎

I missed him. I missed him more than anything. He was my best friend. I should probably explain. Hey, I'm Alexa Norman and I lost my best friend when I was 7. Not in the way you probably think. He's not dead!! It's a long story. I might as well start from the beginning.

We were inseparable. Me & Lando Norris. We met each other at nursery school when we were 3 and we were attached just like that. We would even share birthday parties. His birthday was 13th November and mine was 16th November so they were really close. We'd always have our party on the 14th or 15th. I would also always go over to his house. We would always beg his mum, Cisca, to let me stay over for multiple nights in a row and she would always say yes. I was meant to be on the floor with the air mattress but I always managed to sneak into Lando's bed and we would cuddle up together. As I said, inseparable. We would also always go to the park after school and we would hide on the top of the biggest slide so we didn't have to go home. One of those times we made a pact.

*flashback*

"Dating is stupid!! Kissing is stupid!!" I said. I beg to differ. Me & Lando literally had little kisses all the time. It was cute.

"I know! Mummy and daddy kiss every time daddy comes back from work and it's so yucky!!" He said. He was pushing me on the swing until we heard Cisca.

"Lando!! Lexi!! Come on, we've gotta go home!" Cisca shouted

"Run!!!!" He said as he grabbed my hand and we went up to the biggest slide and sat up there. "I have an idea, Lexi"

"Okay!! Tell me!!" I said

"When we're 25 and we haven't got a boyfriend or girlfriend, we'll be together" he said which made me giggle

"Okay!!" I said

"Lando!! Lexi!! Come on, we've got to go!! It's getting dark!!" Cisca shouted again

"Promise?" I said while holding out my pinky finger

"Promise. You can be my girlfriend" he said before quickly pecking my lips and then grabbing my hand as we went down the slide.

*end of flashback*

But here I am. I haven't seen him in 17 years. I'm 24 now. My dad threw a fit when he found out that Lando was getting into karting. He hated motorsports with a passion and when he found out that Lando was getting into it he forbade me from talking to Lando. I wish I never listened to him because I lost my best friend that day. Every single day since then I've waited for him to show up at my Uni dorm but he never has. I couldn't even bring myself to google him or look on any social media for him to see if he did well in motorsports. I couldn't even watch motorsports because it would just make me cry. I missed him more than anything. I refused to make any friends since that day because I didn't want to get attached to anyone. My life sucked without him. Until my life started to get better...
