Vettel jr

-chapter8-

Qualifying didnt go well for Arthur his car had an engine issue that forced him to retire , sitting down watching the rest of the grid continue is another feeling he couldn't explain but it wasn't his fault so he didn't beat himself about it .. " water ?"- asked marcus handing him a bottle noticing the sweat " yes thank you"- he drank it slowly while paying attention to max pace " his last one got deleted right?"- asked the german boy and his race engineer nodded "he may end up in p4 or 3 ".

Race day is full of hype with all the fans coming to watch and the amazing atmosphere and the smiles of little kids seeing their favorite drivers was special , but Arthur woke up with a werid feeling he tried to shake it off but nothing seemed to work , max was the first to notice how spaced out he is. " archie ? Whats wrong you ok?"- asked the Dutch man " what? Oh yes i am "- sighed arthur taking a deep breath while stretching out logan and lance walked towards him " ayeee Archie , where were you last night after quli?"- asked lance " oh sorry lan but i slept i got too tired " " its ok"- smiled logan before arthur was called back to his garage, when he got there he got worried when he saw one of his mechanics sighing "is everything ok?"- he asked " yes dont worry , i called you back because you need to gear up its only an hour away before lights out"- said Marcus " yes ok i forgot sorry"- he chuckled and headed to his driver room seeing hus father inside " good luck baby , you got this p15 doesn't mean its the end mmh?"- Sebastian kissing his son hair before he left to let him get ready.

Formation lap is over and now all cars are waiting for the go sign , with ferrari having the front row followed by : george p3,max p4 and so on .. beside Arthur in p16 is alex ..., minutes after the race has officially started and focus is very much needed " ok arthur you are currently in p14 keep your focus please " said his race engineer " ok copy"- trying to not oversteer in the second sector his car went outside the track lime but he managed to save it .

20 laps went by and something started to feel off his car wheel is more heavy to control like it got jagged, trying not to painc he asked over the radio " something is wrong with the car please check if there an issue" " nothing seems wrong continue the race please!" " no you dont understand! I cant control the car!!!"- his voice showed true painc all of a sudden his car stopped in the middle of the track causing another car to hit his car sending it  to the barriers side , he couldn't anything.. everything is a blur to him he doesn't know if hes gonna make it thats all his mind is telling him..his head is throbbing

Gasps were heard from the spectators and Sebastian felt his heart drop as the session was red flagged, worse the car caught on fire too ,so he ran to the radio comms and took a headphone fast " son can you hear me! " - still no signal from arthur , they tried and repeated but no replay still until a soft weak  " vater"- was heard , marshels were able to stop the fire before they were able to reach to him.. . laying him down on the track the medical team carefully removed his helmet and then checked on him, he passed out from inhaling too much smoke " it look like he' has a concussion and a possible inner bleeding we should hurry up and take him to the hospital for further evaluation hes unconscious "- said one of the medics .

Sebastian and lewis sat outside the er room, while pierre was getting checked he blamed himself alot , tears fell down his face feeling guilty " i..i did not see that his car stopped! It is my fault "- the french cried on carlos shoulder " shh its not your fault, you tried to avoid him " " wait valttri was involved too right? Is he ok?"- asked lando " yes hes ok "- a doctor came in and advised pierre to not drive for 3 weeks as he broke his arm due to his right arm hitting the steering wheel hard when he breaked after the hit .

Time skip—->

Arthur was discharged after staying at the hospital for 3 days  luckily no broken bones but he was still  puted on off duty by Christian himself until he's fully recovered , the flight back to Monaco was silent arthur is still shaken up after he show pictures of his car from the aftermath of the crash but was pulled out of his thoughts with Sebastian cuddling with him gently as not to hurt him because his body is still sore  " im so glad you made it out alive, you gave me quite a scare "- mumbles seb into his son's hair  " are you staying with me and mick or ..?" " no I booked a hotel near your building don't worry " " oh ok.." -when they landed mick updated his instagram story to assure everyone that arthur is fine but he wont be on track until hes fit to do so agin.

Pierre left flowers by the two german boys apartment with a card that said on it " im sorry , hope you feel better soon dear archie- from pierre", when Arthur saw it he immediately called the Frenchman  few
seconds later he picked up:

P: hey thur your home already?
A: yes umm thanks for the flowers mate, also it wasn't your fault so please dont beat yourself about it...heard you broken your arm..?
P: yes .. um do you want to go have dinner on Tuesday?

P: good night  archie

A month later...

Arthur pov:
I stood outside where zac and i were supposed to meet and get things solved for once and all, soon after i heard his footsteps and looked up but he wasnt alone .. " arhice this is sara my girlfriend, anyways  i just im leaving formula 1 for while i cant   .. i dont feel the buzz anymore "- he looked genuinely stressed so i didnt want to make thinks worse and said  " if thats how you feel.. its ok zac just know im here for you"- i left because i was uncomfortable with that girl around something is bothering me about her...
