Lando Norris | Formula 1

Chapter Forty-Nine

I leave the Redbull garage and go outside and pull my phone out of my backpocket. I dial the one person who could help me now.

"Kelley, I need your help" I say as soon as she picks up.

"Hey, how's Lando? Is everything oka—"Kelley starts but I cut her off.

"I'm late" I say with tears in my eyes. The line goes quiet.

"I'm picking you up. Be ready." Kelley says.

"What about Lando? I have to be there for him" I say panicking.

"Max will take care of him, I will let him now that we have an emergency" Kelley says.

"I don't want him to worry. I don't want him to know, I don't even know" I say panicking. I start to hyperventilate and suddenly I can't hear Kelley as the ringing in my ears get louder.

I feel the blood in my veins freeze cold and I curse before everything goes black and I feel my head hitting the hard concrete.

Meanwhile...

Lando got out of his car slowly and carefully, he looked around trying to spot his beloved, supporting girlfriend. He couldn't have done this without her.

He smiled as he tried to move past people to find her. She wasn't at the McLaren garage. He raised an eyebrow.

He started walking down to the Redbull garage and as he was about to ask where she was, a familiar voice shouted from the back. "Help me! Get help!" Max shouted.

Lando's heart stopped at the pure panic in Max' voice. Lando took off running towards the source and saw Max holding Nathalie's bleeding head as she laid on the concrete flat on her back.

"What happened!?" Lando shouts and slide his knees over the concrete as he falls to the ground and hold her.

"I found her like this, Kelley called me and said they got disconnected" Max says and shouts for help one more time.

"Baby, come on, we did it. Wake up" Lando says and pull her onto his lap and hold the open bleeding wound on her forehead. Lando's hands got soaked in the blood and he started crying.

"Baby, come on!" Lando shouted through gritted teeth, as he tried to stop his loud sobs from escaping.

Nathalie started to move weakly and groaned in pain as she slowly opened her eyes confused. She looked up at Lando and he tried to talk to her but she just starred at him.

"Nathalie? Are you with me? Please talk to me" Lando says and I blink multiple times. I feel a pain in my head and look around confused. I was laying on the ground.

"What happened?" I ask and try to sit up, Lando scooted behind me to hold me, as I tried to sit up with my weak body strength.

"I don't know, Max found you passed out after Kelley called him and said you got disconnected on the phone" Lando says and caress my cheek.

"Here!" Max shouts as he comes running with Laura. I smile sheepishly at her as she sees me. "Lando is sick, not me. I'm fine" I say and move her hands away from my face as she kneels in front of me.

"Let me at least clean it" Laura says and I give in. Lando helps me inside away from the media as they had already filmed my fall and the others running to my aid.

I sat on the table in Max's room and Laura cleaned the cut on the side of my forehead.

"Why did you pass out?" Laura asks me, I look at Max and Lando ask they look at me waiting for the answer as well.

Laura looks at me as I don't answer and she sees where my gaze goes and she gets the hint. "Can you two give me a moment alone with her?" Laura asks and both hesitate, but as I nod at them, they leave.

"I was having a panic attack" I confess in a low voice for them to not hear outside.

Laura nodded and finished cleaning it up. "Why?" She asks.

"I'm late, 2 weeks" I half whisper in shame and look away. "So, you panicked because you haven't tested or because you have?" Laura asks.

"Because I haven't, not yet" I say and fiddle with my hands.

"I have a test" Laura says with a shrug. "Thank you. I need to know" I say and she nods. "I'll go get them, I'll send those two away" Laura says and I nod thankfully at her.

Ten minutes passes before the door opens again and Laura comes in, but she's not alone. I get up and hug her tightly as I let tears fall.

"Are you okay? I got so scared on the phone" Kelley says worried and I nod.

"Here's two tests to be sure" Laura says and hands me them and I nod. I go into my brothers bathroom and pee on the sticks before coming out.

"What now?" I ask in a low voice. "We wait 2 minutes" Laura says. The three of us sit down in silence.

"What are you gonna do if you are pregnant?" Kelley carefully asks. "I don't know. I've only just turned 22 this year. I can't be pregnant now" I say and tear up.

"Lando—""—It's not him I'm worried about. He already said if it happened it wouldn't be terrible and he would make the best out of it. It's me. I'm afraid" I say and interrupt Kelley.

She nods. "I don't know anything. I have a serious back injury I'm still battling with and I'm only 22" I say now fully crying.

"There are ways to fix it" Laura says and I nod. It just didn't seem like an option for me.

"Times up" Kelley says and turn off the timer. "I can't look alone" I say and hold the sticks out in the paper. Kelley nods and gets up and stand beside me and Laura does too.

"Let's look on three, okay?" Kelley says and we all nod. "1-2-3" Kelley counts and I feel myself crying more as I see the results.
