I love you, Mr. Racer

CHAPTER 1- THE RACE

ELIJAH

"Yes baby, I will win this match for you. And then I wil take a break and take a Amsterdam vacation with you okay?"

"You always told me that. But, okay. I will wait okay. I'll book us a ticket already, I know you will win this. Love you!"

"Love you too, I'll see you later."

"Oh hoo. Bad boy in the racing field but a tame lover boy with his lover."

I rolled my eyes. Here he goes again.

Maxwell, my always competition in everything. School, racing, and with lovers. This isn't the first time that he mocks me with my relationship. And he always, always picks my partners and made them cheat on me. What an asshole.

"I hope you win this. Better check your car." He said.

I just turn around and checked my car before the racing starts. Luckily, he left already. I can now focus and win the game. After this, I'm going to take a long break so I can give some attention to James.

James has been my boyfriend for 2 years already. He works as a fashion model abroad. He rarely goes back Bangkok,so I always make sure that everytime he is here, I am free.

I heard the announcement that all racers must be in their position because the race will start any minute. So I just muttered a short prayer and enter my car.

I am driving a McLaren MP4/4. An this bad boy is with me since I started.

We are on our position, with start up engine. Just waiting for the sound of horn as a sign to start the race.

Honkkkk!

I drive fast and safe. F1 race is to complete 78 laps, not more than two hours. And I am leading the race with 5 laps. I can hear my fans shouting and cheering for me. It gives pump to my adrenaline so I feel high and light while driving.

I am on my 30th lap when I feel something is wrong.  After I came from my team to replenish my gas, the steering wheel is being out of control. When I turn it right, it can't. I am starting to sweat and Maxwell saw that as an opportunity so he races before me. But even before I got my 32 lap, the unexpected happen.

I am out of the racing track, with no direction to go. And the next thing is...

BLAAAAAAG!

I hit my head on the steering wheel and it hurts like hell! But I managed to get out before my car was eaten by a sudden fire.

"No!"

I saw the paramedics coming towards me. But then, I was swallowed by darkness.

I woke up and I am hearing people talking. Like, anesthesia, OR room, call doctor this. X-ray results, and everything. I tried to open my eyes but I can't. I know I am in a hospital. So I just let my eyes falls and succumbed to sleep.

******

I don't know how long I have been asleep. All I remember is the accident on the racing  track. I tried to lift my hand to remove my oxygen but I wasn't able to. I tried opening my eyes too but all I can see is darkness.

Luckily, someone comes out of the bathroom and saw me awake.

"Elijah! You're awake! Wait! I'll call the doctor"

I recognize the voice of my Mom. A few seconds later, I heard footsteps and then someone speak besides me.

"Hi Elijah, I'm Doc Denver. I am your attending physician. We will just do a quick check up for other possible injuries okay? If you can, try to lift up your right hand."

I tried lifting my hand. It was so hard and kinda painful but I endured it.

"Does it hurt? Move your fingers if yes." So I moved my fingers. It's much easier than lifting.

Even it is so hard, I tried to speak. "why can't I feel my legs?"

A moment of silence. No one speak. So I ask again.

"Doc, why can't I move my legs? And also, why is it so dark? Is there something covering my eyes too?"

I heard gasp from the people in the room.

"What do you mean Elijah, you can't see us?"

"Obviously Doc, I wouldn't ask if I can."

"Mrs. San Martin, we have to do a thorough ENT check up with your son."

"What? Why?"

"I'm afraid, he lost his eyesight in the same accident. He is now paralyzed from waist down, and now, I think he is also blind."

W-what?

"NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" I couldn't believe what i am hearing, paralyzed and now a blind man too? I should have died.

" We don't know if it is just temporarily or for life time. That's why I am suggesting for a check up."

"No mom! I want second opinion! There must be some mistake! I can't be paralyzed! I can't be blind! I don't want to be useless!"

I am starting to get hysterical so I heard Dr. Denver ordered a nurse to put me to sleep. Slowly, I am feeling my eyelids feels heavy. And I gave in.
