Back Together

❤︎︎ Forty-Five ❤︎︎

I was honestly losing the plot. We didn't see Luisa at the race and it honestly creeped me the fuck out. So much that I was talking shit while we were walking to the gym.

"Have you ever thought about the fact that we were most likely made on Valentine's Day? like your birthday is the 13th of November and mine is the 16th of November" I said

"Oh my god... I'm gonna go throw up now" Lando said while literally velching and swallowing the sick in his mouth.

"your parents and mine were both probably getting it on at the same time on the same day"

"Lexi, in the nicest way possible. Shut the fuck up"

"Not my fault our parents were fucking on Valentine's Day 1999"

"Alexa Jade Norman. Shut the fuck up"

"Lando Kinder Norris. No"

I kept walking and I was walking a bit faster than him. I didn't even notice how far behind he was. I turned around and the next thing I saw was him holding his side and blood on his hand. He had been stabbed.

"Lex..." he said. I ran straight to him and took off my shirt. I was wearing a sports bra underneath anyways. I wrapped it around his waist and told him to keep applying pressure. My worst nightmare right in front of my eyes. I called for an ambulance and then sat right next to him while holding his hand. "It hurts..."

"I know, baby. I know. they're coming, baby... they're coming... just keep holding my hand and stay with me... please... please don't leave me... I need you to stay alive, baby... I need you to be here to keep me alive... to marry me... to have our babies someday... please..."

"I'm not going anywhere... just stay strong, baby"

"I'm trying to but it's hard when the only guy you've ever loved is laying on the floor with a stab wound..."

"I know it's hard, Lex" he said while being in insane pain. I could hear it in his voice that it was causing him pain

"hey, hey. shush. I can tell it's hurting you to talk... don't put yourself in more pain" I said. It didn't take long for him to finally get to the hospital. He went straight into surgery. I knew this meant he wouldn't be able to race at Qatar or Abu Dhabi but it meant that we would have an extra long winter break just for us. I stayed by his side for the whole 4 hours that he was asleep.

"Hey, Lex..." he said as he slowly started to wake up

"Hey, love. You okay?"

"I think so... how long was I out for...?"

"A few hours. They've stitched you up and they wanna keep you here for tonight and tomorrow and then we can go home but you have to be on bed rest for a week. Obviously you won't be racing at Qatar or Abu Dhabi but that just means a longer winter break for us"

"Alright... at least I have you to keep me company"

"I was never gonna leave you like this"

"Just promise me one thing"

"Yeah?"

"Don't let me get too lazy"

"you have an excuse to be as lazy as you want for the next few weeks. you just got stabbed so you deserve all the rest and pampering you deserve" I said. He fell asleep again after that. He was so tired and I honestly couldn't blame him. I took his phone and decided to give myself a laugh and I started scrolling through his insta dms. I even woke him up by scrolling through them while laughing

"What're you laughing at?" He said

"I was reading through some of your Instagram dm requests. Some of your fans are crazy" I said. He reached for his phone and patted the bed for me to get in with him. I cuddled up to him and he read the message

oh my god Lando I would so marry you like you're such a slut for me and I would 100% treat you well. Like we could fuck so well

"Ew... These people need to learn some manners. Like seriously, who sends messages like this?"

"someone even sent you a nude with literally everything on show" I said as I scrolled back to a message of a girl who sent him a nude

"Oh, for fuck's sake. I can't believe people actually send stuff like that"

"it's kinda funny though how crazy some of these fangirls are. some have sent you voice messages while being insanely drunk and it's hilarious"

"Yeah, it is kind of funny. But still... come on, man" he said as he gave me his phone back. I laughed as I continued scrolling

"another nude... from a guy..."

"Wait, what? A guy sent me a nude?" He said as he took his phone and looked at the picture "This is just... wow" he said before passing his phone to me again

"oh this one's good!!"

randomusername
I could treat your girlfriend way better than you. I'll take her out to dinner and treat her right

"Some people just don't know when to keep their mouths shut" he said. I kept scrolling and I nearly threw his phone at the next one

"another nude... from an underage girl??? fucking hell your fans are crazy" I said. He instantly took his phone back and looked

"An underage girl???? I can't believe this. These people need to learn some boundaries. Right, no more looking at dms tonight" he said as he deleted that message and blocked that person so he wouldn't get done for having an underage girl's nudes in his dms. I went and got food after that. Everything was fine until I got a message from someone we used to go to school with. I got back to the hospital and put the food on his bed

"fucking bitch..." I muttered

"what? what's happened, baby?"

"you know Kiya? the girl that bullied me all throughout school. she fucking messaged me on Instagram telling me that she's going to take you from me because apparently she liked you when we were at school and apparently I stole you from her"

"She did what????" Lando said as he took my phone and looked at the message. "That bitch has got some nerve"

"she said she's gonna find out where we live and then win you over so you leave me and get with her..."

"She's not going to win anything" he said as his phone lit up. "Can you check it, baby? My eyes are hurting too much to be looking at my phone for too long"

"Lan... she sent you something..." I said. He took his phone from me and I could see his blood boiling. "don't get too angry, Lan... you're meant to be taking it easy..."

"I know, babe. But this really pisses me off. I can understand being upset that I'm with you, but sending that kind of crap? That's a whole new level of low"

"I never knew that she liked you though..."

"Yeah, well, apparently she did" he said with an eye roll "And it's not like I ever encouraged her or anything"

"she's such a bitch... It explains why she was always trying to sit next to you in classes. although I don't think her throwing food at me and you every day at lunch was the right way to say that she liked you... kinda gave mixed messages"

"Yeah, well, I guess she wasn't very subtle. But honestly, I never saw it coming. She was always so mean to me"

"what are we gonna do then...? do we just ignore it and hope she doesn't stalk us or something?"

"No, we're not going to ignore it. We need to confront her, put her in her place, and make it clear that she can't just do this kind of thing"

"not yet though. you need to relax while your wound heals"

"Fine, but we'll do it soon. I don't want anyone else getting hurt because of her stupid games. I'll protect you, babe"

"I'll protect you too..."
