Falling for all the wrong reasons.

For mum

Saturday ~ qualifying

"Alright Liv you can do this" Ollie said leaning over to speak to me as I sat in the car.

"Alright Q1 starts in 3" a voice shouted from somewhere behind.

"Ollie I don't know"

"You'll make her proud either way" he said before I could say anything else.

"ALRIGHT STAND CLEAR" now Ollie backed away giving me a nod as he done so.

I know his words were true but I wanted to do well. Prove to not just mum but the world that I was THE Olivia Gallo.

As I drove out I hear a voice come though my head. "Radio check"

"Yep"

"Remember what I said Olivia" Ollie suddenly said and I just smiled. He seemed to alway know what to say.

Monza was probably one of the easiest tracks, other than the chicane (I don't know how you actually spell it) on the first two corners.

"Alright liv that's p4, we'll done" Richard said as I crossed the line. I was safe and I could continue to Q2.

I was disappointed but I just pushed the emotions aside and just put on a fake smile as I drove into the pits.

I saw Ollie's sympathetic  smile on the pit wall.

I got out the car and walked into my drivers room helmets still on trying to hid the face on my watery eyes.

As I closed the door I let out a sigh.

I took of my helmet and placed it beside me as I sat down.

I reached down the shirt and grabbed the crystal.

I pulled it off my neck and placed it against my heart. Suddenly I let the tears fall.

The thought of mum being disappointed in my broke my heart and that's all I could think about.

"I'm sorry mum"

*Lando Norris*

I had gotten p6 while Olivia was p4 ,which I thought was quite impressive for a rookie, but before I could congratulate her she walked off into her drivers room ignoring all the joyful comments coming her way.

I couldn't help but let my curiosity get the better of me, so I followed her but she slammed her door before I could say anything.

I heard sobs coming from the other side of the door.

"I'm sorry mum" I hear and it hit me like a bullet.

I knocked on the door waiting for her to open it but she didn't

I knocked again but again nothing.

I continued the motion but there was always no reply.

"Liv" I said quietly. "Open the door" I lent my head said the door and stood there hoping for some source of response but I didn't get one.
