Past, Present and Future (George Russell)

Chapter 1

Y/N

I woke up just like any Saturday on a race weekend. Happy and ready for the day. I looked to the side of me and sighed. Why did my dad haft to be so strict on race weekends and not let me and George stay together? I mean it's been 2 years of us dating. We stay together when he visits me in Milan and me him in the UK.

I unplugged my phone and checked my notifications. I then got up and ready for the day. I showered and changed into some jeans, a Mercedes t-shirt and a Williams hoodie. I dried my hair and put on some make-up. I grabbed my bag and headed out the door of my hotel room.

I walked out of the building and towards my car, a Mercedes. I got in it and drove to the paddocks. I pulled up next to George's car already there and got out. I scanned into the paddock's and walked towards the Mercedes motorhome. I walked through the doors and saw my dad sitting waiting for me.

I walked over to him and we stood up and hugged.

"Morning sweetheart." He said

"Morning dad," I replied

I placed my bag down and we went and grabbed some breakfast. The room was buzzing with people eating and talking. We got our food and sat down and started to eat and chat.

"how's work going?" he asked

"Good. Really busy as usual getting ready for a show but it's fun." I replied

"that's good," he said

"How is talking about contracts going?" I asked

"Good but if you're trying to get out of me about George, I'm not saying anything." He replied

"Oh, come on really it's me. You know you can tell me if he is moving here." I said

"I know but it's still undecided. We're still in the talks with him and Valtteri." He replied

"Fine. It would be easier." I said

"I know but you will find out when everyone else does." He replied

"Aww, your so boring saying that, but fine I understand," I replied

"Wow, you're really calling me boring says the girl whose favourite ice cream flavour is vanilla. You know it's about when not if." He said

"Um rude and I know it'd just be nice sooner than later," I replied

"I know." He replied

We carried on chatting before I headed out to see George and he went to do some work before the last practice. I walked out of the Mercedes motor home and past some of the others towards the Williams motorhome. I walked inside and up the stairs to George's room. I knocked and walked in.

He was doing some warmups in his room but stopped when I walked in

"Morning," I said

"Morning." He replied kissing me on the lips "how was breakfast with your dad?" he asked

"Good. sadly, couldn't find anything out about the 2nd seat though I did try." I replied

"Aww, thanks but it's ok. It will happen at some point." He said

"I know but it would make life easier for me when I visit for a weekend going to one motorhome instead of having to go between the two," I said

"I know and one day it will happen but for now you will haft to just suck it up," he replied

"Fine," I replied

I sat down and watched as he carried on doing warm-ups. We then walked down to the garage together hand and hand. I grabbed some headphones on the way past into the garage. I stood back as he fist-pumped his mechanics and then made his way back to me. He gave me a quick kiss before putting his earpieces and balaclava on.

He put his helmet on and got into the car. I put my headphone on, covering one ear, and hooked the pack on my jeans. I stood and watched the screen and listened to the radio of practice. He came in a few times and then after 1-hour practice was over.

He took his stuff off and hugged me after giving me a kiss. We said see you later to everyone and we left the garage and headed back to the motorhome. He changed out of his flame-retardant suit and back into jeans and a Williams shirt. We then headed back downstairs for some lunch.

We grabbed our food and sat down. we ate and chatted and then just had fun. Once finished we went back to his room. He popped to the toilet so I sat in his room and checked Instagram. I noticed I was tagged in something. I clicked on it to get a closer look at the picture.

I stared in shock. Plain as day George was stood kissing another girl. When was this? Why did someone have it? who is she? Why didn't he tell me? a million questions ran through my mind. I screenshotted the pic and reported it.

I contacted my friend to get them to remove the image and any other one of it. Then George walked into the room. I looked at him anger clear in my face

"what's wrong?" he asked completely oblivious

"This is what's wrong," I said standing up and showing him the picture. I watched as his features turned from shocked to sadness

"I'm so sorry. Just let me explain it was a complete mistake." He said

"No. You know what happened to me and yet you go and cheat on me anyway. I don't want to hear it. I'm done." I said

"What do you mean you're done?" he asked

"I mean this us. We're done." I said

I ran out of the room before he could say anymore and before the tears started to escape

"Y/N wait!" I heard him shout but I didn't want to hear it.

I ran out of the motorhome and towards the Mercedes one. I ran in and upstairs to my dad's office. I walked in and crawled under his desk. I leant against the wall inside with my knees to my chest and cried, my heartbreaking again.

Under my dad's desk has always been a safe place for me whether it was for hide and seek or to cry like I am now. No matter what I loved it as a kid and still do. I then heard a knock at the door and then a voice

"Hey, Toto are you in here?" Lewis said opening the door

I crawled out from under

"No, he's in a meeting with the mechanics," I replied

"Thanks, but what's up?" he asked

I looked at him. I knew I could tell him; he was like a brother to me. As soon as we met, we got on. He was a brother and best friends in one. I moved to sit against the wall and he sat down next to me. I showed him the picture

"Oh. Did you let him explain?" he asked

"no. I was so mad I just had to get out of there. He knows what happened to me and he goes and does this." I replied

"Maybe it was a mistake, you know he wouldn't intentionally hurt you like your ex. This is George were on about, he loves you." He said

"That's what he said. I don't know if I can believe him though." I replied

"I know, but maybe it's worth hearing him out. It might help you to understand what happened." He replied

"Yeah, maybe your right," I replied

"Good," he said wiping my tears away

"Thanks. Your always the voice of reason for me." I said,

"of course, you know I'm always here for you and I don't like seeing you upset like this." He replied

"Yeah, I know," I replied. We got up off the floor and started to walk towards the door. I looked at my watch "my dad should be done about now," I said

"Ah, thanks." He replied

We walked out of the office and I started down the stairs heading towards the Williams motorhome my heart thumping hard in my chest.
