ID GONE OUT shopping with River on Friday. It was only free practice so we decided to go see some malls and look for more outfits to expand our wardrobe throughout the trip.

We'd also gone to a nice Cuban restaurant for dinner before heading back to the hotel to call it a night.

I hadn't seen Oscar or Lando the whole day but from what I'd seen online, free practice hadn't gone too well. I just hoped qualifying would be better the following day as River and I fell asleep to The Devil Wears Prada.

I'd dragged Riv to the garage just as qualifying had started, standing by my usual spot next to a large monitor. All through Q1 and Q2 Oscar and Lando had managed to make it in the top five, but it wasn't until Q3 where the action happened.

With Lando finding the fastest lap time of the session and getting P1 for the start of the Miami Grand Prix, the team was already ecstatic. Osc getting P3 was just the cherry on top. Both had a chance for podium once again.

But in between them was a lingering threat. Brodhi. How he'd managed to find himself P2, sandwitched by two mclaren drivers who despised him was beyond me but all I knew was it was going to be a problem.

We'd rushed to the sidelines like usual to congratulate them. It felt like I'd been hugging Osc more during the start of the season than I had our whole lives. I was just immensely proud.

We stuck around for the post-qualifying interviews, watching them on the big screens along with the rest of the crowd.

Osc was first, getting asked a few questions about the pace and how the car had felt in comparison to the start of the season to which he responded with positive answers.

The moment Brodhi had been summoned I wanted to leave. And if it weren't for Lando following right after, I probably would have.

I couldn't stand the sight of him. It brought back too many memories I'd worked hard to keep in the past. Although they were starting to resurface, I was dedicated to avoiding it.

"How do you feel about your performance today and your role in tomorrow's race?," He'd been asked by the interviewer, a young woman who's questions hadn't seemed too bad just yet.

"Very good. I've performed better than I could have ever expected last week when I was given the news I'd be the reserve driver for redbull and I can't wait to see where this takes me tommorow."

"This being your first formula one race ever, how are you feeling about starting it off in Miami?"

He grinned widely and I just knew everyone who hadn't known him would be falling for it instantly. "Miami's got it all this weekend. Fast cars, big crowds, even new love stories. I couldn't be happier to get my first taste of formula one here."

The interviewer seemed surprised to have heard some of what he said and she hadn't been the only one. "Love stories? Care to expand?"

I felt my heart drop to my stomach, anticipating what he was about to say. We'd lied to him at the event a few days ago, Lando and I had him think we were together. And now he was on the verge of revealing it to everyone.
