All because i liked a Boy

Flashes and crys - Chapter 6

Adeline PoV

As we arrived there are surprisingly many paparazzi this time. Don't get me wrong I'm used to it as arrogant as it may sounds but this... this is not normal.
Our chauffeur parked the car and me and my dad stepped out of the car and immediately like 5 men starts to shoot picture after picture. Why though??

"Adeline, Adeline! Is it true that you and Jacob broke up?" A man screamed the question at me as we walked away from them but of course they follow us as long as they can.

I cover up my face a bit with my phone in hand and look down as my father tried to cover me from the flashes and occasionally telling the journalists to back off.

"Adeline! Are you and Lando now a thing? Is this why you and Jacob broke up?" An other man yelled and at this I stopped in my tracks.

Not only is he assuming something about me and my boyfriend but also about my best friend. Just out of the blue picking Lando to be part of this situation which is not fair at all. I turn around and face the men peeking out behind my father.

"First of all me and Jacob are still together! He is just buys with his career! And second of all leave Lando out of this please he has nothing to do with this situation between me and Jacob." I say trying to sound polite even though I am so done with all these noisy people.

All of the men's camera flashes violently as i speak to them but as soon as I turn around again and leave security got to them and pushed them away.

I didn't wait for my Dad to catch up to me as I walked with hurried steps into the paddock. Only once I got into the McLaren house he held me back by grabbing my wrist. Unexpected I jumped a bit but turned around to face him. My dad looked at me first confused and then worried as he saw my teary eyes which I also just now noticed.

"Addy... it's okay. Those people are assholes anyway." He told me and moved his hand around my shoulder so he can embrace me in his arms.

I really tried not to because I'm scared someone will see me and also I did my makeup not so long ago but I couldn't stop the tears from falling. So we stood there for a few minutes. My Dad just holding me in his arms while his hand rubbed soothingly over my back and me who just cried. I didn't even hug him back, my arms just falling to my sides.

"Hey Andrea, the last-"I heard a voice from behind my dad but I didn't lift my head to look as I heard the footsteps echo away again.

"I'm very sorry Addy but I guess I have to go and work...but you know you can just stay here. No one will annoy you any more." My Father told me and slowly released me from his grip but holding me still at my upper arms.

"Lin?! What happened??" Lando' s voice boomed from behind my dad just like the one before and I figured the first voice a few minutes ago was Oscar.

Lando rushed to our side and looked at me worried. Avoiding his gaze I looked down and stepped away a bit. My eyes were probably puffy and red and my mascara is most likely all over my face so I tried to wipe it away a bit with my hand.

"I'm fine Lando" my voice was a bit more shaky than normally but I made out the words for him to hear anyway.

"No. Why were you crying? Is it Jacob? I swear I will tell him to watch out and-"he rushed out in an angry hiss but I cut his sentence short.

"Lando it's not that! There were just some mean paparazzi and journalists, nothing to worry about." I tell him finally looking up again but only meeting his eyes for a short time before glancing to my dad pleadingly.

"I don't believe you. Just tell me please, I-" Lando says in a soft voice stepping a bit closer to me but is yet again interrupted but this time by my dad (thankfully).
