"Please stop" a whimper betrays me
"Aw come on Emmy, you know you like it" a hand trailed up my thigh and tears sprang up in my eyes
"Emerson!" I jolted awake at the sound of my name, Im seated up right in my hotel room as my mother is beside my bed with one hand on my arm. Tears stained my face from the constant stream of tears that flowed down my face.
"It getting bad again love, you should go back to therapy" I groan at her "We can find a new one"
"Its not that mom, its the sad eyes they give me. I hate feeling like I'm some delicate flower that has been crushed" I flop back onto the bed
"Okay, it is time to wake up though. Meet down stairs in an hour" She was always my mom to a point then momager mode came on. She left and I rolled of the bed and quickly got into the shower.
My wavy golden brown hair need some major help. It was media day for Abu Dhabi, the last race of the 2021 season and my first season in F1. I slipped into a black satin midi skirt, I matched my forest green mock neck tank to my forest green Prada bag. Zipping up my black boots I threw open the hotel room door and ran walked down to the lobby.
*********
We all arrived to the track and were rushed into all the events that were required of me. "Emerson, McLaren will be releasing a statement saying you will be joining them for the 2022 season right after the race is over. We really need this to be a secret so please try and keep it one"
"Ive lasted the far, I think one race will be fine" We were sat in my private room and i was changing into my Haas uniform to walk the track. I had consistently been at the back of the grid all year so i was so grateful when McLaren said they still wanted me. My current teammate Mick Schumacher was my best friend, and he had no clue of the bomb I'm about to drop on our friendship. I didn't grow up with Mick but he took me under his wing when I joined Haas, and now I was going to break his heart by telling him I was leaving for McLaren.
I spend the next couple hours analyzing and strategizing, I was so over it. When we left the debrief room the sun was setting and Mick and I jumped into his Mercedes EVO 2. the car roared to life, "Can we go out tonight?" I ask him with a sweet smile to convince him.
"No, we have practice tomorrow and knowing how you drink that car would be in the wall by lap 4, also I won't be caught dead in another Uber with you and the pick of the night" Disgust flashed across his face.
"at least I'd get those 4 laps though, and don't be so dramatic its not like we were making out"
"Em I don't want to ever see you around the male specie let alone stuck in a car with you and them"
"Mick, its okay you will always be my number 1 male" I blew and air kiss at him, and he mock threw up again. Mick was like my brother, with all the miss fortune of the car Mick was my breath of fresh air.
Once we got back to the hotel we split ways. Walking into my room I noticed someone in my room, I could only see their feet. They heard me come in and a voice called high pitched and joyful. "EM!!!" I round the corner and see her laying on the bed. Mick's little sister Ellis. She was practically my sister and I had forgotten Mick said she was in town.
"AHHHHHHH! El! I forgot you were coming!!!"
She dramatically took a breathe "Emerson Sinclair, how could you forget your favorite twin sister was coming to see your last race of the season" El was my first favorite person in the world right before Mick, She was the same age as me and so Mick always calls us the twin.
I hugged her "Is your mom here too?"
"Yeah, she's saying hi to Mickey though. Is your dad here?" She asked as if she was walking on egg shells.
