Days had passed and it had been another year since I had gotten into another relationship with Jamal Musiala. We had been together for around 6-7 months till one day.. "Baby breakfast is ready" he shouted from the bottom of the stairs. I rubbed my eyes "Omw my love" I replied back in a sleepy voice. I headed downstairs and saw a massive plate on pancakes with maple syrup and berries on top of them with a glass of hot chocolate and a little cake. I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around him. "Thank you my love" I whispered. He kissed my forehead "My pleasure". We sat down and ate our food and spoke about us and our relationship as we weren't close and strong anymore. We were distant and always acted like friends. He placed his arm around my waist "I don't see us being a couple for that long anymore, I feel like we would be better off as bestfriends ngl. It doesn't feel the same with you anymore ml, it hurts to say that but I think it is lowkey obvious I want to focus on my career and you wanna focus on yours. This is going to break me but I genuinely do think we should breakup" he said whilst looking down and holding me close. I looked at him in silence till I decided to break it "I think the same, but honestly it's been a pleasure being with you. I wish the best for you in the future and I do hope we can still keep our friendship" I kissed his cheek. He kissed my lips softly and hugged me. It had been three hours since that talk. I grabbed my phone and posted a quick post on both of our accounts with the comments on,

@TheaLeclerc/JamalMusiala10: This wasn't really unexpected but I just wanted to let you all know that me and Jamal have split up today. After talking everything out we decided that we should breakup as we are both trying to focus on careers. No hate to Jamal but it has been the best seven months of my life with him. I couldn't have wanted it to be anyone else. I also hope you lot can all respect our privacy and not harass anyone. I wish. him the best of luck in the future and more. We will obviously still stay as bestfriends, but that's it. I have genuinely enjoyed my time with him. I love you all so much and I think I will be taking a little break from everything. 🤍

It was the day after our breakup and ngl I was so hurt. I didn't know it would hurt me this much, but I managed to get myself to the racetracks safely. I didn't even sleep because I was so fucking upset and broken. I wore sunglasses to cover the massive bags under my eyes and sat in the McLaren garage by myself in my little room till someone knocked. Kelly called me to tell me it was her who was knocking, I got up and opened the door. She looked at me and looked so upset. "Baby are you okay?" she whispered as she pulled me into a hug. I cried so much on her shoulder, I had tears rolling down my cheek "No i'm not, that really hurt me". I struggled to get my words out. (6 months timeskip to the club) We were sitting with the McLaren and Redbull team as they had both hosted a party for both of them for getting P1 and P2 and P3. McLaren got 1-2 and Redbull got P3. We were all say around the table till Max kicked my leg and looked at me "Are we just going to sit here then or what?". Everyone giggled and Kelly replied with a smile "Nah we're going partying". She grabbed my hand and pulled me onto the dancefloor and left me alone for ten minutes as she had to go to the toilet. I stood there by myself on my phone waiting for her at the bar till a old creepy man walked over to me again "Hi sexy are you here by yourself". I looked at him with disgust "No, I'm here with a load of people actually" whilst rolling my eyes. He continued to speak to me and I tried to back away and run away but he grabbed me by the waist and slammed his lips onto mine. In the corner of my eye I could see Lando was watching us and got pissed off.

"FUCK OFF YOU CUNT" I shouted loudly. Everyone came running over but Lando had walked out with a angry face on him. That shit hurt me. Hours passed and we got home. I got changed and rang Lando and texted him but he would ignore me. He would even ignore me at the racetracks too. It had been nearly a year since this incident had happened and I got to the racetracks. He had more hair and it was very curly and he looked so hot. It hurt me to see him act like this with me. Anyways, I got to the racetrack and jumped onto the drivers bus along with the other drivers till I had to go for a quick interview on the bus parade.

How are you feeling about the race then Thea? Are you excited or scared or nervous that you might not get onto the podium or more?
↳ if i'm being honest i'm actually excited. i have worked so hard to get here, so i just hope i can lift the world championship at silverstone.

Are you and Lando friends or talking?
↳ I looked at Lando with a sad face and turned back to the interviewer. if i'm being truthful we fell out around a year ago, we haven't spoken ever since and yeah, he's living a good life with his girlfriend but i don't really care.

Are you going to be staying at McLaren or no?
↳ i have no idea things are very complicated atm and i'm thinking about going back to football again. but who knows what will happen in the future

I completed my interview and it was time for the race, it was the last lap and I was P3 right behind Lando and Max. Max was P2 and Lando was P1. "The difference between Max is "0.133" and the difference between Lando is "0.468". "Copy" I said into my microphone as I pressed my foot onto the gas pedal and started driving, I overtook Max and it was time for me to overtake Lando and make this race special. I managed to cross the line before Lando by a "0.12" difference, everyone clapped and cheered loudly. I hugged everyone and jumped onto the podium and only sprayed Max till they gave me a mic to announce something. The team stood behind me as I grabbed the mic. "Can everyone hear this?" I said whilst laughing. The crowd and everyone shouted "Yes". I took a deep breath in and looked at the crowd from the podium. I was scared yet nervous to say this.———————————————————————————
this is such a mess
