the press | lando norris x reader

ben?

a/n : i know monaco usually has practice on thursday but to bad.

after the press conference i had to walk the track and talk to andy and christian. we were talking about our stratagies for the race. after awhile i realised it was already 7.00pm and i had to leave because i was going to watch bens game on robins tv. before i went back to my hotel i went and got a meal deal from the local shops. after that i went into the hotel and waited on the lift seen as i was too tired to walk up the stairs. i got in the lift and as the door was closing i see lando running over so i quickly put my foot in the door to let him in.

y/n : "hey"
lando : "hi fancy seeing you here"
y/n : "i know who would have thought"
lando : "what are you doing tonight?"
y/n : "im going to watch bens game on robins tv. you wanna watch it with me?"
lando : "yea sure"

we got to the 12th floor and made our way to my room. i went in set up the game because it was already 7.40pm and the game starts at 7.45pm. i went and got my food and managed to split it into two decently sized portions for me and lando. once the game started we talked a little but i was mostly focusing on the game.

17th minute - goal from andy weimann
1-0

41st minute - goal to cardiff
1-1

half time
1-1

89th minute - goal to ben major
2-1

y/n : "YASSSSSSSS GET IN BEN"
lando : "WE WON"

we celebrated so much we won its such a great feeling to win the severnside darby. about 15 minutes after the game ben called and i answered to congratulate him on his goal and the teams win.

y/n : "omg ben well done you won and scored good job"
??? : "erm its not ben"
y/n : "wait alex why are you on bens phone?" you could hear the worry in my voice something was going on.
alex : "y/n ben he is in hospital"
my face dropped.
y/n : "wh-why"
alex : "he passed out while walking off the pitch"
y/n : "why did he pass out? are you with him?will he be ok?"
alex : "calm down y/n kasey is driving us there just now"
y/n : "who is us?"
alex : "me, daniel, max and han-noah"
y/n : "ok-okay let me know"
alex : "stay safe y/n ill let you know asap"
y/n : "bye alex"
the line went silent.

i broke down in tears. my big brother. my best friend. my shoulder to cry on. my person. he was in hospital. and i was in monaco. it was almost ten oclock and lando had left whole i was on the phone. i could do it. i couldnt race tomorrow unless ben was ok and awake. what if hes in a coma and never wakes up. what of he dies. what if he forgets me. i wanted someone to hug. i wanted ben but he wasnt here. who could i call. i can't call granda and nona there in a home. i could call lando again. no that would be awkward. i didnt have another options so i called george. it was a 2 second call he heard me crying and ran up straight away. george : "y/n are you ok?"
y/n : "bens i. hospital"

he ran over to me and pulled me into the tightest hug ever. i felt safe. not as safe as if it was ben or max or alex but it was safe. it felt like he would never let go. like i menat more to him thank anything else in the whole world. i ended up falling asleep in his arms.

the next morning.

i woke up in my bed with george on the seat next to me and remembered all the events from the night before. i grabbed my phone and called alex. he answered after the second ring.

y/n : "alex is he ok?"
alex : "y/n i think you should come home"
y/n : "alex whats going on is ben ok"
alex : "he got drugged. hes in a coma and they dont know if he will wake up. and also when he fell he banged his head and he needs surgery"

i was stunned i had no idea what to say.

y/n : "im on the next flight home alex i promise"
alex : "i know i said to come but what about the race?"
y/n : "this is about my brother there will be another race. there wont be another ben"

after that i hung up. i woke up george and told him everything. i got packed and george drove me to the garages so i could explain everything to christian.

y/n : "christian i need to talk to you"

he knew there was something wrong with the urgency and the crack in my voice.
