It isn't always easy-Lando Norris

I'M HANGING HERE LIKE FRICKING BADMAN!

꧁𝙾𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚊'𝚜 𝙿𝙾𝚅꧂

FP1 and Fp2 went by smooth and the car was feeling great this weekend. It was Saturday time for qualifying and before that FP3. Lando and I had just arrived at track and I let my hand slide in his as we entered the paddock. He planted a kiss on my head while we walked past the media. I felt pretty good about this weekend already. I could score some points I think. As we entered the garage we split ways and talked to our own crews. I changed in between meetings to my racing suit and when the time finally came I went to put on my baclava, helmet and head/neck support. I placed them on the table in the back of the garage and plugged in my earphones. I looked to my side while plugging the last one in and Lando was stood there as well. He smiled at me with his excited smile and I returned it. I closed the last strap of my helmet before I felt two arms around my waist. I looked around and saw Lando. He had his helmet on as well but with his visor still open just like me. He rested his helmet on mine looking into my eyes.
Lando: "careful?"
Olivia: "I'll try."
I smiled at him but he couldn't see it obviously. We did our handshake before getting in the cars ready to head out to FP3. We got signed out and when I looked in my mirror I saw Lando behind me. In front of me was Charles. We were off to track and I completely focused on the car. After a few good laps I saw Max in front of me. I was on a flying lap but he didn't go out of the way. I lost control of the car and covered my head with my arms as I hid the barrier.
Olivia: "WHAT WAS HE DOING! THERE WERE BLUE FLAGS! WHAT AN ASS!"
Paul: "are you okay?"
Olivia: "I'm fine."
Paul: "how is the damage?"
Olivia: "the front wing is completely broken. The rest looks fine."
Paul: "okay good."

After FP3 I walked towards Max. He was stood in front of the garage watching the F2 race.
Olivia: "what was that for?"
He looked at me and his face was emotionless.
Max: "what?"
Olivia: "you literally wouldn't make room for my flying lap causing me to get into the barriers."
Max: "I don't know what your talking about."
Olivia: "seriously Max?!"
Max: "what?"
Olivia: "nevermind... your a dick..."
I walked away shaking my head. I walked straight to my drivers room and ignored everybody around me. I slammed my door closed and laid down on my couch. This guy is driving me nuts... and the worst is he's my brother! I heard a knock on my door. Lando's knock I recognize it since a few days.
Olivia: "not now Lando!"
Lando: "are you okay?"
Olivia: "oh yes frickin great!"
My voice was full of sarcasm. I heard his footsteps walk away and I was left alone once again. After sometime I heard Lando knock again.
Olivia: "what do you want?"
Lando: "it's time for qualifying."
I opened my door and looked straight at Lando. I walked past him into my garage.
Lando: "hey don't ignore me because your brother did something."
Olivia: "fricking watch me Norris. He pissed me of and not even a bit!"
I looked at him with fire in my eyes. His look got a bit of fire as well and he just shook his head before walking away. I pulled on my helmet ect again and got in the car. After Q1 we went out again for Q2. I once again was on my fast lap when Lando touched my wheel in turn 1. My car flipped and I was now lying upside down against a barrier. I knew the car was a total mess and I had hurt my ribs pretty bad.
Paul: " Olivia? You okay?"
Olivia: "I'M FRICKING GREAT PAUL! TWICE ON A DAY IN THE BARRIER! I'M HANGING HERE LIKE FRICKING BADMAN! Sorry.... I'm just pissed...."
Paul: "it's okay Olivia. The car is very damaged... I'm not sure if we can fix it...."
Olivia: "oh great..."
I got helped out of the car and kicked the barrier twice before getting into the safety car. I was brought back to the paddocks and went towards the medical care immediately. I was sat there waiting for the doctor. After a few tests I got my results... my ribs were bruised pretty bad and I needed atleast 3 days of rest. I thanked the doctor and walked back to the garage. Qualifying was just over and Lando pulled back in the garage. He qualified P5. I saw it on the screen at the pit wall. I looked at him and when we made eye contact I looked away. I was standing with my back towards him. I had was holding a box of painkillers that the doctor gave me for my ribs and I was fidgeting around with it. I talked to my mechanics about the car and they could try to fix it as fast as possible but there was a chance I couldn't drive in tomorrow's race. I thanked them and wished them good luck with the car before I walked back to my drivers room. I changed into my blue jeans with my McLaren team polo. My interviews were canceled for today wich I absolutely needed. I walked towards the garage again with my bag and grabbed a bottle of water before getting one of the painkillers out of the box. I swallowed it easily and hoped it would work in fast because the pain wasn't my favorite feeling. I took the car keys out of my bag and walked towards the exit of the building.
Lando: "Where are you going?"
Olivia: "I'm going to my hotel room."
Lando: "I'm ready in 30 minutes can you wait?"
Olivia: "no."
I continued walking.
Lando: "what is wrong with you today?"
I stopped walking  and turned around facing Lando.
Olivia: "what is wrong with me? Me? I crashed into the barrier twice on one day! I bruised my ribs! I might not drive tomorrow because my car isn't fixed! And if it is fixed I'm getting in there ignoring doctors advice! You didn't even check on me the second time even tho it was your fault! Think another time before asking me that question!"
Lando: "you bruised your ribs?"
Olivia: "yes."
Tears were filled in my eyes and slowly rolling down my cheek. I looked at Lando's face and he was crying as well. I could see he was regretting it.
Lando: "our crash...?"
Olivia: "yes..."
I could see his tears started falling harder. He slid his back down the wall and rested his head on his knees. I sat down besides him and took his hand.
Lando: "I hurted you..."
He was now looking me in my eyes.
Olivia: "I just wish you would check me after my second crash..."
I let go of his hand before walking out of the building. I had my sunglasses on so people couldn't see my red and puffy eyes. I drove back to the hotel and immediately went to my room and changed into my sport clothes.

I took a water bottle and headed to the gym to let some steam off. As I entered the gym I saw that there was one other person. I didn't know him so that was fine. I plugged my airpods in my ear and blasted some of my workout music. I started with 30 minute run on the treadmill, then I did some boxing to release my anger, then I did some weight workout for my arms. I ignored my bruised rib as it is a weakness and I don't do weaknesses. I finished off with another run but this time 15 minutes. My total time working out was 1 hour and 17 minutes wich was pretty long. I did feel better afterwards. I grabbed my water bottle and out of the room. When I arrived in the lobby to walk towards the lift I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around to look into Daniel's eyes. I turned around to fully face him and returned his smile.
Olivia: "hey Dan."
Daniel: "hey Ol."
Olivia: "your really smiley today.... Any reason?"
Daniel: "not really."
I laughed at him before we entered the elevator together. Daniel got out a floor before me as he was on a different team. I continued my way up and when I opened my door I saw Lando sitting on my bed. I sighed out a breath before closing my door. Why did I give him a key to my room.
Lando: "there yo- did you work out?"
Olivia: "yes I did."
I threw my keys on the little desk in front of my bed and placed my bottle there as well. I leaned against it as I crossed my arms.
Lando: "you have a bruised rib?! Are you insane?"
Olivia: "no not really."
I grabbed some clothes and walked into the bathroom. I locked the door and started my shower.
