Crashed

VII

Zoë
I wake up. My head is pounding. I was so drunk last night, I can't even remember half of it. I want to get out of bed but my head won't let me. I look for my phone to look at the time and see someone elses clothes near it. Shit. I hear the toilet flush and someone coming out the bathroom. Lando? Oh my god did I bring Lando with me? "Morning." He smiles at me. "Eh morning." I lift the covers and realise I'm naked. So that probably means we had sex. "Did you sleep well?" I nod slowly. "Can you get me my phone?" I point at it since it's just out of my reach. He picks it up for me. 5 missed calls from Max, and a few texts. I open them. "You weren't at breakfast this morning. Make sure you eat something before we race today. See you at the karting track. Don't be late."  I look at the time. It's already noon. SHIT, I have to be at the karting in one and a half hour. Lando looks at me. "Ehm so, I'm going to take a shower now. I'm supposed to meet Max in about an hour so I kinda need to hurry." He smirks at me taking the covers with me to the bathroom. "You know I've already seen you naked right?" I freeze, I honestly can't remember. "Yup." I close the door behind me and sigh. Get your shit together Zoë, you need to wipe Max' arrogant smirk of his face today. 

I get out of the shower and see Lando left me with roomservice. There is a note next to it. "I know you're racing Max today and thought you needed some good food before that. Didn't know what you liked so ordered a bunch of the menu, the bill is on my room so don't worry about that. Goodluck and kick his ass better than I do." Oh wow, how thoughtfull of him. I wasn't expecting this. I eat while getting dressed and run out the door. I get to the track and see Kelly flashing me with a bright smile. "Morning babes!" "Morning Kel, Max." Max almost ignores me. "Ignore him. Someone got pretty wasted last night and I had to help him get in bed. So someone will probably be a little hungover right now." "Well, he's not the only one with a hangover." She smirks at me. "So how was your night with Mr. Norris? Had any fun?" "Ehm yeah, was great. He's a sweet guy!" "Oh you've got to tell me more than this!" She nudges me and I laugh. "I will over drinks, but first I've got to kick someones ass." I get ready and drive a few laps to get back in the feeling. God I missed this so much. 

Max

I'm waiting for her at breakfast but she's not coming down. I get frustrated again and Kelly notices. "Why are you so grumpy?" "Nothing important." "Maybe you shouldn't have drank so much last night. I'm sure you're head is having a hard time with just sitting here." She mocks me. Breakfast time is over so I decide to text Zoë to remind her of our race today. Kelly and I go get ready and just walk around Bahrain before going to the karting track. "You should let her win, make her feel good." "I'm sorry what?" "You know, she just feels like shit so it would be nice for her if she wins today." "I'm sure she feels great after taking one of my friends back with her, I have no pitty." Kelly sighs and rolls her eyes. We're waiting on the track on Zoë. She comes rushing in and she looks very tired. Kelly and her start talking, she asks her about last night. I tried to ignore the conversation but I can't help myself to listen more carefully. She's not going into details thank god. I think I would throw up if I would hear that. 

Zoë already has a few laps in when I get in the kart. My mother has come to watch as well "Have fun and don't murder eachother!" I hear her yell when I pull up to the start line next to Zoë. "May the best driver win." "Goodluck with that Zoë." I put my visor down. Kelly is going to give us the start sign. She smashes her hands down with the flags. Race has started. Somehow Zoë had a better start than I did and I'm behind her. I see she pushes herself in the corners but is a little afraid. She needs to dare more, she's better than this. I stay behind her for a few laps to give her confidence a boost and I can tell it does by her driving style. Enough now, let's show her real racing. I go in to overtake her. She cuts me off. I try again and she recklessly cuts me off again. Now I'm actually getting pissed and I throw my kart in front of hers in a corner. Or well, I tried to but she got her foot on the gass and shoots in my rear. We both fly off in the tirepiles. She get's out raging at me. 

Zoë

I fly out of the kart. He also stood up. "Are you fucking trying to get us killed?" I yell at him as I push him. "Are you fucking serious right now? You cut me off more times than I can count! And I overtook you very safely, you just put your foot down on the gas and drove into me!" "I fucking can't believe you, you're such an arrogant prick! Easy way out for shifting the blame onto me! That much of a driver huh!" I storm off. This day sucks. I was ahead of him the whole time and he just couldn't let me have a win for once. It says a lot about him. I get back to the hotel and start screaming in a pillow. I HATE MAX. I thought he changed a little this weekend. He was so nice to me after all this time, but here his true colours came through again. What am I even doing here. I just want to go home! Wait a second, I don't even have a home anymore. Where do I go now?
