The forgotten child

Frozen

Daniela

I wake up in a strange room. The light from the room literally blinding me so it takes a bit for me to adjust to it. I look around and see Toto and Lewis having a conversation. They don't realise I am awake.

„How long have I been unconscious?" i ask

They both stop talking and look at me in relief.

„About half an hour" says Toto

„Are you ok?" i ask Lewis

„Yes kiddo it wasn't me who crashed" he says

I sigh in relief.

„Is George ok then?" i ask

„Yes he is fine" says Toto

„Am I good to leave because I really want to eat something?" i ask

„I will ask the nurse to come and check if everything is fine" says Lewis

I look at Toto and something about his look said that he knew who I was. I can ferl it the way his eyes have changed since the first time he saw me. He knows I am Ayrton Senna's daughter.

„Lewis told you" i say

„What?" he asks

„You know who I am" i say

„Yeah. You look so much like him" he says

„You know Zak doesn't believe me. I was at the McLaren garage because I saw a painting of my father and then he began to question what I was doing there, if I know who this was and why I was here. He didn't believe me when I told him that Ayrton Senna is my father neither did he believe I was here with Lewis. I don't like him he is being rude without a reason. I understand if I had done something and he was pissed but I didn't do anything" i say

„I think he has it harder to believe that one of McLaren's best drivers has a daughter. Because no one knows that you are his daughter besides me and Lewis. I mean your father established the glory of McLaren. Give him a little bit of time and you will see he is a good person" says Toto

I nod. Lewis enters the room with a nurse following behind him. She checks my vitals and with that I am clear to go. We said oir goodbyes after he changed and made oir way to the hotel. We decided to get room service. I ordered a burger with fries. God I haven't eaten something this delicious in a long time. The last time I ate something so delicious was a few years ago when I was invited to a birthday party for a friend of mine. I know I could have goten something on the way for school or after school but I didn't. It didn't feel right. I don't know why it just didn't. Lewis ordered a chicken caesar salad. After that we watched a movie '10 things I hate about you'. It is such a good movie. Forever and always Kat and Patrick. After that we went to bed. This was an exhausting day.

And it's race day! I hope lewis does good. I woke up quite early today. I guess from excitement. Me and Lewis ate breakfast and got ready for track. Today I will meet most of the drivers hopefully. I'm kinda nervous. The anxiety is already boiling in me. Anyway we arrive at track and make our way inside. The press was really loud. Asking Lewis who I was the whole time but he didn't answer. Today I will get to be at the press conference before the race. Lewis said I can ask questions too. I will be seated with Lewis's pr manager at the front row. The conference starts at 13:00 since the race starts at four. Now it's 12:30. Until everyone gathers in the room it will soon be one pm. And now I am seated in front of the drivers. The other people sitting around me start asking they questions. It is most about what their prediction is for the race later. I finally get to answer my question which happens to be the last one in the conference. At the conference are Lewis, Daniel, Charles, Max, George, Fernando and Carlos. Now it's my time to shine.

„Mu question is directed to all of you. What do you have to say about Ayrton Senna?" i ask them

„Thank you for the wonderful question Dani. For me Ayrton Senna is a legend. On of the best in this sport. And I am very grateful because we are all here safe and sound because of him. May he rest in peace" says Lewis bringing tears to my eyes

„As Lewis said Ayrton has a big and serious impact on this sport's safety. From what I have seen a wonderful and respectful person" says Daniel

„For me Ayrton Senna is my idol to these days. There has been no one that drives like him. No one could attempt the mastermind's driving because they know they can't and they won't risk it. A true legend" says Fernando

„Let's all agree that Ayrton Senna has changed formula one. He is a legend, a mastermind, Idol and a lot more" says Max and all agree with him

„Hey kid may I ask why you asked this question because all of us have spoken about him already? If it's alright of course I'm just curious " Fernando asks

„Yeah no problem at all. None of you know about me probably but you may have seen me with Lewis. What I'm saying is I'm not just the kid Lewis Hamilton adopted. I think I am much more considering the fact of how you described my father a minute ago. Correct me if I am wrong" i say full of confidence after the words the drivers shared about my father

Everyone went silent after what I just said. Lewis is looking at me the proudest I have seen him look. With that the conference ended. I made my way with Lewis and his pr manager to mercedes. Lewis did some more media duties while I stayed in the garage entertaining myself with my phone. And soon later it was time for the race to start. I was sat next to Toto. A really nice feeling to be honest. The drivers went out and did their formation lap. 'And it's light's out and away we go' i heard Crofty's voice faintly. Everything is going great Lewis and George made their first pit stop. 2.3 seconds for both of them. The first half of the race is already finished. Lewis is five tenths behind Max. Oh my god they are side to side who is going to overtake who? They make contact which sends Lewis into the barrier's and max into the gravel only. Lewis's car lights up on fire. He hasn't responded through the radio yet. I feel Toto's hands around me from behind. My mind has gone blank. I lost him. I lost him just like my father. I don't even realise the tears streaming down my face. I'm just staring at the screen waiting for the Marshall's to help him out of the car. I just feel numb. It's a red flag so the drivers are back at the garage's. I lost all the hope in me the moment the car went up in flames. Toto keeps saying to me that he will be fine. No he won't and I think everyone knows that. I lost my father again.
