One of a kind - Lando Norris

Chapter 39

Your eyes are still red from crying, but you can't bring yourself to care.

In the McLaren hospitality you accidentally bump into Lando.

Yn: Sorry.

You walk past him.

He grabs your arm and turns you around.

You look at him with your redshot eyes.

Lando: What happened?

Yn: I can't do this right now. Goodluck on the race, Lan.

Lando: Talk to me, muppet.

Your eyes let another tear through.

Yn: Not right now. You have to focus on your race, we'll talk later.

You walk past him, grab your camera and head out to the track.

You sit down on the same spot you sat yesterday, waiting for the race to begin.

You open your phone and book the first flight back to the Netherlands.

You still couldn't comprehend losing both your parents in a car crash. It didn't feel real.

After the race you want to head straight back to the hotel to grab your stuff and go to the airport.

You're already at the parking lot when you hear someone calling your name.

Max: Yn, Wait!

Yn: Max, why are you here? You still have to get on a podium and do interviews.

Max: They can wait, I just got a call from my mom... She told me what happened to your parents.

Your stomach drops, he knows about the accident.

Yn: I'm flying home tonight.

Max: I'm coming with you.

Yn: You don't have to Max.

Max: It wasn't a question. I don't have to race next weekend so I can come with you for the week.

You know arguing wouldn't change his mind, and you weren't sure if you wanted to. You sigh.

Yn: I only have one ticket.

Max: I already booked one extra and updated us to business class.

Yn: You knew I would let you come?

Max: I've known you for way too long to not know.

Yn: Congrats on winning the race Max, I'm going back to the hotel. You should go and make sure you're on that podium.
