a few days later...

tonight, is probably the most exciting night i've had in a while. we were all going to coldplay. all of us, as in me, ollie, kimi and eli. after everything that's happened recently, i think this will be good for me. but that's not saying i've had some doubt about going.

now, i know this is what's good for me. going out with my favourite people and having fun, forgetting about everything else.

we were staying at a hotel not too far away from wembley arena, which was were the concert would be. and after the hotel booking got mixed up, i was sharing a room with eli, whilst kimi and ollie shared. but, they both ended up spending. half the time im our room. but not now.

now, me and eli were getting ready whilst singing along to our favourite songs, using hairbrushes as microphones.

"you should curl your hair." eli says, as i sit in front of the mirror.

"you think? i've not really curled my hair in a long time."

"yeah! i'll do it for you." she says, smiling at me in the mirror whilst she pulls in the hair curler.

"thanks." i say, returning the smile.

"how are you feeling about this weekend? with the fia?" she asks, picking up the first strand of hair.

"i think ill be fine, i can still race, i proved that. and im eating more now. jules says it's nothing to worry about, so does ollie and kimi. jules says that ill just get regularly checks to make sure o am getting better."

"well you are getting better."

"physically." i reply.

"what do you mean?"

"well, i'm eating now. but it's still hard mentally, i feel like sometimes it's getting worse for me."

"i know it feels like that, but it's just a phase. the start of anything is hard, when you keeping going that's when it gets easier."

"i hope so."

"does ollie help?"

"so much, i don't think i could do this without him. im so glad i met him, truly. i can't even imagine what my life would be without him. all i know is it wouldn't be good."

"you two are truly perfect together. made for each other."

"thank you... your coming to the las vegas weekend aren't you?"

"yes, i'm so excited to come! kimi mentioned a concert right?"

"yes, well im supposed too. and i would love too, but im kind of afraid. people might say things."

"well fuck them, your an amazing singer. you'll sing constellations and so high school, right?"

"maybe dying on the inside. i just... when i took it to the studio i wasn't struggling as much. i thought i was better, then everything came crashing down all at once."

"i think by releasing it, or at least performing it, your challenging yourself. and the more you do that, then you will get better."

"i wasn't even sure i could do tonight at times."

"well then, im proud of you for coming. and your going to have the best night ever. i guarantee." she says, smiling at me.

"i have no doubts about it." i reply.

we chatted away whilst she continued my hair, and then it was time for us both to get changed as she had already done her hair.

"your going to look gorgeous." eli says, noticing my hesitation to change.

"thank you." i say, before walking into the bathroom and changing into the dress.

i walk out of the bathroom, and twirl to show the dress to eli.

"what do you think?" i ask, smiling at her.

"ollie will not be able to take his eyes off you tonight! you look amazing." she says, getting up and pulling me into a hug.

"you think?"

"yes! he won't be able to resist you. i grantee he's going to watch you more than the actual show." she says, once she lets go.

"and, not to say anything but tonight..." she says, raising her eyebrows.

"oh my god, shut up." i say, embarrassed when i realised what she was talking about.

"okay okay, i'm just saying the truth, that's all." she says, smiling as she grabs her dress and walks into the bathroom to change.

i pick up my phone and begin scrolling through tiktok, when i get a phone call from ollie.

(ollie's replies in bold)

"hey ol."
"hey, how- are you doing okay?"
"yeah, yeah i'm great. really. are you and kimi on your way over?"
"just left the hotel... who is it? is it angel?HI LINA."
"hi kimi. i'm guessing he's had a drink?"
"only one so far."
"that's surprising."
"yeah i know. are you two ready yet?"
"almost, we just want to take some photos before we leave."
"wow, you don't want us in them?"
"of course in the later photos, but not these ones."
"okay, okay. well, it's 175 right?"
"yes, just come straight up. i'll see you in a few minutes?"
"should be, bye baby."
"bye, love you!"

i end the phone call, and look up from my phone as eli had just walked out of the bathroom. she looked gorgeous.

"oh my god, you look amazing!" i say, standing up and spinning her round.

"thank you! let's hope kimi thinks the same."

"oh im sure he will. tonight is going to be great."

"just as i promised. photos?"

"always." i say, handing her my phone.

she takes a few photos of me, i take some of her, we take some in the mirror, and by time we had finished, there was a knock on the door.
