Rundown hotel
Lotty’s POV
It had been weeks, nearly a whole month, with no word or appearance from Hobbs. The first couple of days were spent in silent fear; sneaking around almost too afraid to step out of our rooms in fear of being seen or caught. After the first week though when it was clear that no one was lurking around and we weren’t being spied on, the boredom kicked in.
“I could kill right now just for the chance to race.” Leon groaned in frustration as he lay upside down on the bed. I crack a smile as I look down seeing Leon’s frustrated look as his head dangles just centimeters above the floor.
“I swear I’m going to murder you if you don’t shut up.” Letty gritted out as she rubbed her head. I looked up seeing her hunched over at the coffee table with her head between her hands.
“Are you okay?” I asked quietly as Leon and I traded looks.
“I’m fine.” She muttered.
“Where’s Dom and Ava?” I asked wondering why she was here all by herself.
“In our room with Mia, Lexie and Brian.”
“And you’re here because?” Leon trailed off curiously.
“Because I need… space.” She hissed out angrily. I raised my eyes the same time Leon did. This was news to us.
“Okay back up. Has something happened between you and Dom?” I asked prying for information.
“No.” She grunted out before standing up, making her way to the door.
“Let wait where are you going?” I called out as she ripped open the door, slamming it behind her as she stalked off.
“I think we need to have a long chat with Dominic.” Leon growled as flipped off the bed but I was too quick stepping in his way before he could move any further.
“No they need to work through their own problems, if they have any. Let them deal with it, we’re just here for support not to meddle.” I warned as I pushed him back onto the bed before walking away.
“You hungry?” I asked as I got out a fry pan.
“Starving. I suppose I should round everyone up for breakfast.”
“At least wait till I have it almost finished.” I huffed in annoyance.
“Sorry.” He grinned sheepishly.
Letty’s POV
I walked down the short flight of steps until I was just a few meters away from our cars. My head felt like it was going to explode. My thoughts were so jumbled I couldn’t make much sense of them and to be honest I wasn’t sure I was in the right frame of mind to.
My stomach gave an uninvited lurch and I groaned as I sunk down onto the bottom step. I leant my head on my hands as I took deep breaths. The last couple of mornings had me strung tight, so tight in fact this morning I left the minute I could. Dom wasn’t stupid he could see how wound up I was getting. His offer to watch Ava while I went to spend some time with Lotty and Leon was much appreciated.
‘Well it was this morning.’ I huffed silently.
Above me I could hear light footstep moving around the rooms. A loud giggle or two erupted every couple of minutes joined in by more laughs from the adults occupying the rooms.
I sighed, rubbing my temples as I tried to unjumble my thoughts just enough to get through the next few hours.
I walked back up the steps and made my way back to Lotty’s door. I didn’t bother knocking instead I pushed the door open, letting it swing back hard into the wall.
Leon’s POV
I yawned, stretching my arms over my head as I leant my head back against the wall. The rebounding of the door hitting the wall just centimeters from my head made me jump and move backwards.
“Letty.” I voiced as she reappeared in the room.
“Sorry just needed some air.” She huffed as she fell onto the bed next to me.
“Is everything okay?” Lotty asked cautiously this time. She got no actual reply in return just a small defeated sound that sounded like ‘mmhmm’.
“Okay if you say so.” Lotty spoke unconvinced as she cracked egg after egg into the fry pan. A small moan of discomfort made us both turn, seeing Letty with her head buried under a pillow.
“You okay?” I asked just seconds before Letty threw off the pillow, jumped from the bed as she made a run for the bathroom leaving Lotty and I staring in her wake. The only sounds that were heard from the bathroom was Letty vomiting making Lotty and I stare at each other in silence.
“Eggs.” We both whispered as we reached the conclusion at the same time.
