The Young Verstappen

Max pov's: 

I got up early because I needed to be in the paddock early today I checked my phone and Jane didn't reply to my messages or call me back. I quietly got out of bed so I wouldn't wake Kelly and was about to leave when Kelly turned to me and said "She'll come back to Max wherever she is" I told her that I knew that and that I should never have taken her here she sighed and came to me and she hugged me and gave me a kiss, put on a bathrobe and offered to at least make me breakfast and went to the kitchen. I went to Penelope's room to wake her up, she didn't want to get up at all so I tickled her and she answered me in her thin voice "Maxie stop it" with a laugh and I took her hand and carried her to the kitchen where Kelly had breakfast ready. We sat down at the table where the phone kept ringing, I thought it was Jane but it was my mom so I picked it up and my mom asked me about Jane and how the race weekend was going to be so I'll keep an eye on P (Penelope I don't want to write her all name so I'm sorry) and we both agreed with that and that the agreement is with us, I guessed it and told Kelly that at least he would take Jane to the paddock for the first time this year, so she agreed and went to clean the dishes, had breakfast, and I went to get ready because we still have Red Bull a meeting which, according to Christian, should last more than an hour. I went to take a shower and get dressed every time there is a race we have to wear the team's t-shirts or sweatshirts I took jeans and also packed my backpack because I really don't know how long we can be there I came out of the bedroom and saw my mom I immediately went to her hug and thanked her she gave me a kiss on the cheek and I told Kelly where the paddock cards were and I had to go so Kelly walked me to the door I still told her something about Jane and gave her a kiss and I closed the door and went to the car suddenly I noticed how Jane was there with Charles too, I just looked at her and told her that she would come to the paddock with Kelly and looked at Charles to see if she was kidding, he took it as a sign that he was going to leave so he got in and left and the same thing I i did too. I arrived at the paddock and parked, went inside, I wasn't in the mood for anything, neither the fans nor the journalists, but I pretended as always that I didn't care. I met Charles and he stopped me for a moment and told me that there was nothing between him and my sister Jane, I thanked him and went to the team where everyone was already waiting and talking about what they were doing and what happened. We had a meeting about the rules, which the FIA  ​​(  International Automobile Federation) didn't update much, and about the new strategy and getting to know the car even though we know it, and even so, everything has to be repeated once more, and the pre-season tests turned out quite well. we had time, so I wrote to Kelly how Jane was and she wrote that she was locked in her room all day because they don't have a very good relationship with her mother, so I understood that Jane doesn't need her much because her father took her in. Some conversations quickly took place and everyone asked me about my sister rather than me, but we all took it in a very funny way. It was time to get ready for the first practice of the season and when I saw Kelly and Jane I hugged them and led them to the garage where Checo and Christian also came and wished us both good luck. practice started, we probably only managed two pit tracks but we finished first, I hope we will also finish first in the race, now there was a long break and Lando came to congratulate us and left, so Jane informed me that she was just going to the bathroom, maybe she would hit it there and I was having fun with with my auto mechanics and we were dissecting pit tracks. Meanwhile, Jane also arrived and I noticed that she had something with her phone. I kept asking her what happened to her, but she answered, "It's nothing, I'll buy mine. But I kept urging her to tell me, finally she told me that she had dropped it, and Kelly tried to calm me down, but I knew that it won't help and I knew it wasn't the whole truth so I kept asking her and finally she told me the whole thing and I went to the Mclarren garage and Kelly and Jane were trying to catch up with me. But even Checo couldn't catch up with me Jane told me it was fine but it wasn't, I arrived at the Mclaren garage and grabbed Lando's clothes and pushed him he almost fell to the ground and I wanted to continue washing but Zak and Oscar ran to me also Christian and Kelly I saw Jane running to Lando. Zak, Oscar and Christian took me out and Kelly ran after us, I had to calm down and everyone left me alone and I came back and she said to Lando "This is the last time you've broken anything with her!" I looked at Jane and told her that she would come with me and I repeated it to her one more time but from her expression and tearful eyes I knew that she would stay there and I probably knew why she might have seen our father in me, the poor thing had gone through the worst. The second practice started and I took revenge on Lando by causing him a small crash, fortunately he was not hurt but their car was in trouble, I was first again and everyone in red bull was happy because even Checo was in second place. I changed and Kelly and I started back home and Kelly asked me "Was it really necessary to hit Lando or use him to damage the car?" with that I replied "Kelly, you know she is my sister and I don't want her to start dating one of those jerks from other teams, I want to protect her and yes it was a stupid thing but I won't apologize to him". Kelly gave me a nod of understanding and we continued to be silent the rest of the way. We got home and P was already asleep and mom was watching the whole time I asked me where Jane was but I preferred not to answer her and went to take a shower and went straight to bed I was so tired I didn't even hear Kelly going to bed but before we tried calling and texting Jane and neither worked.
