As if | Max Verstappen

Belle POV

it had been two weeks since I was discharged and my family and Lando's family had always been by my side to help me remember everything. however, Lando and George had to go to the Netherlands to race but they would be back today. me and the family and Adam had been sitting in my house that I apparently had in Monaco and watching. Liam Lawson had been allowed to take my place until I was cleared by doctors to return.

my memory had started to come back but the doctors said I was on the mend but I would never get my memory back completely. I had planned to go to the next race which was in spain before the summer break started. Adam was going back to England today so we drove him to the airport and then my family were going home shopping so we could cook.

i was alone at home for a while scrolling through my phone trying to get my memory back about things i hadn't gotten my memory back. I went into my camera roll and started scrolling. there were several pictures of me and Lando, lots of pictures of George, several pictures of nice sunsets and other nice views.

As I continued, something caught my eye. I had several pictures of me and my teammate. Max. why did i spend so much time with him if lando said he was a bad person?

I looked further at the pictures of us and we seemed to have some kind of relationship and then he stopped showing up and pictures of me when I was sad came up. I chose not to look further there and then went to instagram to check. i went to my profile to check what kind of life i had before the accident and it seemed like i was a person who enjoyed life.

in my last picture I looked happy again and I went to the comments and saw everyone wishing me a speedy recovery. I was overwhelmed by all the comments and I remembered more of the crash. I remembered how me and the person behind me were competing for first place and I remembered how one second I was going to swing but the next second I was flying up and down.

i remembered hearing someone yell my name before everything went black again. there was a knock on the door and I thought it was my parents who didn't come in. I got up and opened the door.

"Hello Belle"

"who are you?"

"I'm Max, your teammate"

Lando and George had fed in a lot of stuff about Max. how he was a bad person and everything he had done to me. they had told me to stay far away from him. i looked at him and started to close the door when he grabbed it and stopped me from closing it completely.

"Belle"

"I don't remember you"

"I can make you remember me"
