I open my eyes when I hear the door open. I thought it was my breakfast but it turns out it was Max and Lando. I barely get back to reality when I hear my music is still playing, I somehow forgot to put my timer on last night. And to my emberassment, Little Lion Man was playing. I reach for my phone quickly to turn it off as the boys were coming closer.

My sad music is my secret pleasure, it the songs that I love to scream to at the top of my lungs, the music I only listen to when I'm alone. It's the music I'm too embarrassed to let people know I like. So whenever I have the aux or people ask me what music I like, I would never say these songs, because who's favourite music is depressing music? I also listen to a lot of other music genres but whenever I'm alone this is what I love listening to. I could never get bored of a good SYML song.

"Are we disturbing something? A sad party?" Max jokes

"No, sorry, it was from last night, I forgot to put the timer on.." I say

"Nice music taste you got there" Lando chips in

"Mm thanks I guess? I can't tell if you're sarcastic or not, I just woke up"

"No, I mean it, I like that song as well" he continues

"Oh, well in that case, thank you" I say, very much surprised at his taste in music. I wouldn't take him as a guy who listens to sad music, he was always into more party type of music, very loud and with a lot of of beats.

I still remember back before I left, he even used to have a beginners dj console, it was the most annoying thing to hear him learn how to play the dj. He would annoy us night and day, making his tunes.

"What are you guys doing here?" I add a few seconds later

"We just wanted to check up on you, and if you can, to take you to the track on our way" Max says

"Oh my god, that's amazing, I surely can leave already, it's been more than a day, and I'm feeling much better." I say excitedly, it was great I was finally getting the chance to leave this place and go do something fun, like watching the guys in their cars.
"But wait, I don't have any clothes other than the dress from the dinner before."

"Your sneakers are still in the car, and Lando might have an extra McLaren t-shirt with him, does that work?" Max says

"I mean, I guess, it's just that I would've preferred to get new clothes instead of walk of shamming it" I jockingly say

" we don't have time now, but maybe after FP3 you can run to the hotel and change before qualis" Lando adds

"Ok then, that's perfect! Thank you guys" I say as I slowly get out of bed to hug them out of excitement.

"Careful, we wouldn't want your stiches to open" Max says trying to be nice

"I'll hop in the shower and get ready, it'll be 10 minutes" I tell them as I head to the bathroom.

I had to walk in some hospital slippers all the way to the car, as I didn't want to wear my heels to the car where my other shoes were. Max helped me to get discharged from the hospital, and they both tried to help me walk, thinking I can't on my own. I was perfectly capable, as the pain was just a discomfort now.

I changed my shoes and soon after I asked Lando if I can have that t-shirt that they were talking about.

"It's in the trunk I think, I'll give it to you when we get there if that's alright" he says

"That's perfect, thank you!" I reply

I don't know why, but for some reason I find talking to him extremely awkward after the last incident. I know I should just forget about it and move on, but I just can't escape the embarrassment. It's all I'm thinking about. About how stupidly I misinterpreted the situation. I wish I could act as chill as him, and pretend like it didn't happen. But I overthink everything, and in this moment, it's truly killing me. I know I should just take my mind off of it. And most importantly I should avoid Lando as much as possible today, to avoid any more embarrassments.
