chapter 2 - the bar

Charles Leclerc

I stopped at a bar called "The rock bar" it was two blocks down from my hotel which meant I didn't have to Uber anywhere afterwards. I walked in and went over to sit  at the main counter where I proceeded to order a whiskey with coke.

About an hour or so has passed and 1 drink turned into 2 drinks turned into 3 drinks turned into 6 and so on. By the time I had to leave I had drank around 4 whiskeys with coke and a few other drinks, by this time I was no where near sober so I decided to head back to my room.

By the time I got to my room I realised I didn't have my room card on me, I started to freak out there was a possibility I lost it in the paddock or worse, at the bar I didn't know what to do so I went up to the main lobby to go ask if there was any possibility that they could give me a spare room card. unfortunately when I got to the main lobby they had a sign up that that said "back in 20 minutes sorry for any inconveniences" Great what am I going to do now? I thought to myself, I had no other option but to  wait in the lobby until someone from reception came back.

I wasn't just going to stand there for 20minutes so I went over to one of the sofas that they had for the guests and sat  down my head fell into my hands and tears rolled down my face, I was disappointed in myself, the race didn't even start and I already crashed I was a disappointment to the team today and ontop of that I lost my room card so I had to sit in the stupid lobby till someone came back.

5minutes passed, then 10 , then 15, I was so exhausted that I ended up falling asleep on the sofa before anyone from the reception could come back, i wasn't a too heavy of a sleeper so I would have heard someone from the reception come back after 20minutes but still nothing, I guess this was going to be where I'm sleeping tonight.
