The movie

16

After graduation I offered Samir the opportunity to fly to Barcelona with me which made him jump up and down out of excitement, he couldn't stop talking about how this could be his chance to date Lance which made me laugh. We'll see what happens.Max and I went our separate ways again. I decided to spend some more time in the Netherlands to catch up with some old friends and be with family a bit more.
I woke up to my alarm going off, as much as I would love to sleep in I couldn't due to the next race being a week away. Training is everything.
I got out of bed to make breakfast deciding on some yoghurt with fruit, after I was done preparing my breakfast I decided to take a look at my phone.
30 missed calls from George?. I thought he was so big on space at this point?.
I decided to call him back, fearing something bad might have happened.
"Hey." I quickly said through the phone the moment he picked up.
"What happened with you and Max last night?." George asked. How did he even know Max was with me last night?.
"How did you know I was with him?." I questioned him.
"If you're gonna cheat on me then at least try to be discreet, you and Max are all over social media." George said, clearly agitated, on the verge of anger.
Panic took over. What happened that caused so much commotion?.
I opened my instagram to a dozen pictures of Max holding me by my waist. The picture was cropped so you couldn't see H which was a definite relieve as much as it could be considering the circumstances.
"Let me explain." I begged him once more.
"Anna, what's there to explain." He shot back.
"H." I muttered which seemed to grab his attention.
"What are you talking about?." He asked, his voice going up in pitch.

"H is a guy and we have a past, Max was just helping me out." I explained.
"Who's H?."
That's the question I've been dreading for the longest time.I wanted to leave my past behind me. I convinced myself it was a closed chapter but it doesn't seem to mean much now.
"I can't tell you." I admitted, too afraid of the judgement I would receive.
"Then consider us to be officially done." He announced before hanging up.
I thought the worst was over the moment I left to join Red Bull to film Max but things have just turned out to be more complicated that anticipated.
I wanted to cry, get into bed and watch some movies and the day hasn't even started yet but it didn't really matter what I wanted to do the moment the phone rang which turned out to be Christian.
I took a deep breath and swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat before picking up.
"What is going on Anna?." Christian immediately asked.
"Good morning to you too." I said nonchalantly, not really caring for the speech he was about to give me 0n how I should be more responsible and what not. I just lost the person I thought I would spend forever with. Nothing felt like it really mattered at that point.
"Anna you need to make a choice, be with Max or not, he's been drunk ever since you left him that day. We're all playing babysitter at this point and you seem to have made matters worse after yesterday." He told me diplomatically.
"Why would he be drunk because of me?." I asked him,It ain't my fault that he wants to drink.

"He misses you Anna, the boy has been heartbroken ever since you left." he confessed which made me gasp.
"I thought he didn't care." I admitted.
Sure he called once or twice but nothing dramatic, no love gestures or anything of the sort.
"He did and he still does so whatever is going on between you and Max, you gotta make a choice because we can't deal
with this any longer."
"Copy."
"I gotta go but fix this okay?." Christian reminded me once more before ending the call.
This is way too much to deal with first thing in the morning.
After eating I went to workout, hoping it would relieve some of the stress this morning has caused me and luckily it worked. Partially at least. It motivated me to fix my life which had just become a mess at this point.
It's time to turn things around but before I could do that I had to know the question which would change a big part of my life.
Fight for George, reconcile with Max or dump them both and focus on myself?. As much as it seems to be a logical choice to be alone I knew it wouldn't make me happy and I guess I already knew who my heart belonged to.
After working out I showered, met up with friends, played F1 and that was it for my day.

After that day filled of motivation and realisation I started working on myself. Being an F1 driver is a bit hectic and I just needed to get my shit together, I started eating better and working out more, i was playing F1 more than ever, driving on the Barcelona track over and over again. It made me happier, it cleared my mind and made me come to the realisation that would change my life once more.

Anna: Max, can you meet up tomorrow?, my place?.

Max: I'll be there
