„Let me in"

3rd July 2022, Silverstone
Vic's pov

I don't mind watching the race from Charles garage, it feels like home. But the way Lando talked to me.. I feel like shit. I try to focus on the race that is just about to start.

It's a nerve wracking race. Carlos is about to get his first win. I can't even sit still. Landos race is decent, three laps left and he's fighting with Sebastian Vettel for P8. I really do hope he can get these points. Charles seems to bring P3 home.

It's the last lap of the race and Lando is about to overtake Vettel for P8. His pace is better and he overtakes him easily, but Vettel catches up again. They battle each other as Latifi and Magnussen catch up.

My eyes wander back to Carlos who just crossed the finish line.

HE GOT HIS FIRST WIN!!!!

The mechanics and I jump around happily, cheering on him. They all run outside the Garage as Charles also crosses the finishing in P3 but I stay behind for a second longer.

Thats when I see Latifi made contact with Lando. He falls out of the points a second before he crosses the finish line.

Fuck. I know he will think its his fault no matter what..

I decide to check on him later and make my way to the podium, joining the ferrari team.

Seeing Carlos parking behind that P1 sign and jumping out of the car gives me goosebumps and my eyes tear up. I beam at my two Ferrari man as they start to celebrate.

After celebrations with the team and especially Chili I make my way to Landos place.

I'm pretty sure he is back by now. I ring the doorbell and it takes a while but he opens up. As he sees me he immediately closes the door without even saying something.

I ring the doorbell again and he only opens up the door a little "Go the fuck away".

"Let me in"

"Carlos won that's all you wanted anyways"

"Let me in"

"Fuck off I don't need you!"

"You do."

"No!!" He goes inside but leaves the door open, so I enter. I close the door and follow him inside.

"Lando."

"Go away!" He raises his voice.

"No"

"Victoria. Leave." He almost beggs me with a weak voice. He looks tired. His eyes are red, like he was crying.

This breaks my heart.

"No" I say and take a step closer to him.

"Fuck!!! Leave!!" He screams, his eyes watering.
