The Secret of Us // Oscar Piastri

Audrey was on her bed, writing in her notebook when her hotel room door opened and Audrey walked in. "I don't know what to wear." She cried, letting herself fall onto the bed.

"Re, you have like a million dresses. I saw you pack them when we left NewYork for this leg of the tour, I'm sure you'll find something." Casey told Audrey, she'd not even began thinking off what she was going to wear. Casey wasn't a huge fan of going out, she would always take it too far and then end up regretting whatever she did for weeks. So tonight, she was not planning on drinking.

"I have to look really good tonight, though." Audrey said, brushing her hair out of her face. "When you're not playing the guitar, you're a model. You always look really good. It's a crime I'm stood next  to you half the time." Casey said and Audrey scrunched her face up in awe. "Aw, Case." Audrey said, leaning over to put her hand over Casey's.

"Why do you have to look really good tonight anyway?" Casey asked, using Audrey's hand on hers to pull the blonde further up the bed and beside her. "Lando." She said. "I don't know if he's going to want to keep seeing me after we leave, so I thought if I looked really good, he'd at least be tempted to keep me around."

"Audrey, you are so blind." Casey chuckled, almost unable to believe her friend's words. "Lando is crazy about you and it's only been a few days."

"Yeah, but that's just it." Audrey said, leaning her head on Casey's shoulder. "What if it's only for a few days?" She asked. Casey understood her friend's feelings more than she could express. The situation with her and Oscar was similar, although they'd agreed it was coming to an end on Sunday. As far as Casey was aware, Audrey and Lando hadn't had any conversation about it. They didn't need to, them being together wouldn't hurt anyone.

"I really wouldn't worry about it, I promise." Casey said, leaning down to place a kiss on her friends head. Casey meant what she, she knew how serious Lando was about Audrey. He wouldn't have been in her hotel room this morning looking for a gift for her if he wasn't. As annoying as that encounter was for Casey, it did make her happy that somebody good was finally seeing Audrey was for the shinning light that she was and taking care of her as he should. "What are you writing?" Audrey asked, snapping Casey out of her thoughts.

"A new song." Casey said. And surprise, surprise, it was about her and Oscar. Casey felt insane writing about somebody she'd only known for a few days, that was two songs she'd written about him now. It made her feel so stupid, how caught up she was getting in this thing was Oscar even if she knew it was just causal and coming to an end today. And she couldn't be upset about that, it was her choice. However, if it'd really been her choice, nothing would have ever happened between her and Oscar but annoyingly for her the universe that decided to make them magnets to one another.

"What's it called?" Audrey asked, looking down at the inked pages. Audrey wasn't really into Casey's type of music, but she always loved everything Casey wrote because she knew how real and raw it was. To Casey, her writing was like cutting out a piece of her and spreading it on the page and Audrey knew that and appreciated how hard that could be and how much bravery it sometimes took.

"Risk." The name spilled from Casey's lips. That's what Oscar was, a risk that she taken. It made her a little sad that that's all he was in her life, but she buried that emotion deep inside of her and ignored it as much as she could. "Can I read what you have so far?" Audrey asked, her wide eyes looking at Casey. "Sure." Casey said, handing her the notebook. "It's only the chorus, though."

God, I'm actually invested
Haven't even met him
Watch this be the wrong thing, classic
God, I'm jumpin' in the deep end
It's more fun to swim in
Heard the risk is drowning, but I'm gonna take it
