angel's journey to formula 1 is almost completed, but it has been anything but easy. being the only girl in formula 2 is hard, especially when she is facing many personal challenges.
what is going to happen when she finds herself gravitating towards...
i follow jules into a meeting room and sit down in a seat in front of him. subconsciously, my leg was bouncing up and down under the table.
"jules what's wrong?" i ask finally.
"angel, we are putting you on a strict diet plan." jules says.
"w-what for?" i ask nervously.
"you need to gain weight, but it's going to be muscle weight as well," he explains. i don't want to gain weight, muscle or not muscle. im ugly. i'm fat.
"no, jules i can't do that." i say, looking down at my hands.
"im sorry angel, but we have no choice. if you don't gain weight you cant race. i know this isn't ideal, but we need you to perform as well as you can."
"what do i have to do?" i finally ask, taking a moment to think about it.
jules explains in depth about what i was to eat and workout every day. it was a lot, but thankfully i just needed to follow and do whatever i was told by my trainer who thankfully lived close by. there's no way im following it.
"angel, this is our only option. i hope you understand." he says.
"y-yeah. is that all?"
"yes that's it, but we have the post-race meeting soon. in about 20 minutes."
"i'll see you then." i say, getting up and leaving the room.
as promised, kimi was stood outside the trailer. he was talking to florence, thank god.
(italian)
"angel what's wrong?" kimi asks immediately but i just shake my head. florence pulls me into a hug.
(english)
"you want to talk about it?" flo asks, and i shake my head.
"lina, we are here for you. whenever you need." kimi says, placing his hand on my back.
"thank you, both of you. i just need to think about it for a little while." i say, giving them both a comforting smile whilst quickly wiping away a tear. there's nothing to think about, im not doing it.
"of course." flo says, kimi agreeing too.
"flo, do you want to go out tonight?" i ask, wanting to change the subject. i remember one of nick's friends talking about a party that was on tonight.
"where to?"
"just a party."
"are you sure? i don't speak italian."
"everyone speaks english there it's fine. so, you down?"
"sure, why not." she says.
"i have to get to prema now, but ill see you back at home?" kimi says.
"oh, yeah. see you there." i say before kimi walks away.
"since when do you go to parties?" flo says.
"i don't know, i've always gone to them i guess." i say, shrugging my shoulders. i guess i am pretty popular, even more now with nick.
"yeah." she replies. she doesn't believe me.
"i've got to go to the garage, i have a lot to do. sorry, but i'll find you at some point?" i say.
"oh, yeah. sure." she says dryly before walking away. she didn't even say goodbye.
i head over to the main garage as i had told flo, and decide to go to the meeting room early. to my surprise, zac was also there.
"hey zac." i say, smiling at him.
"congrats on the win!" he says, smiling back at me.
"thanks, it's a memorable win for sure."
"definitely. are you and kimi talking yet?"
"yeah, we were being stupid." i admit.
"since when were both drivers early!" sebastien says, approaching us both.
"i know right, usually i'm late." i reply.
later that night...
me and flo were almost done getting ready for the party, and i was really looking forward to it. due to our long distance, me and flo are barely ever spending time together. we'll, if you don't count hours on call.

"what do you think?" i ask, turning around to show flo what i was wearing.
"lee, you look gorgeous! nick is such a lucky boyfriend." she says, smiling at me. she was wearing a black mini dress.
"thank you! you look amazing as well." i say, hugging her.
"are you ready to go?" she asks.
"yeah, let's go." i say, picking up my phone and heading out of my room.
as we get downstairs, i see kimi sat in the living room with another person. i didn't know he had invited someone over?
(italian)
"kimi, me and flo are going out." i say to him, walking over. i almost freeze when the other person looks back. ollie.
"ok- mamma mia, where on earth are you going dressed like that?" he asks.
"just a party." i say, as if it was the most casual thing ever.
"lina, you never go to parties." kimi says laughing a little.
"have you already forgotten that we didn't talk for over a month?" i joke.
"right, well are you sure you have to wear... that?"
"what's wrong with it?"
"it's very short lina."
"i'll be fine kimi okay? don't worry."
"just call me if you need me okay?"
"i will."
"promise?"
"i promise ."
"oh and ollie is staying over tonight."
"yeah, i guessed." i say.
"well ill see you later."
"bye kimi." i say, waving before walking back to flo.
ollie's pov:
i hear angel's familiar italian voice and turn to look at her. she looked so gorgeous, i could feel jealousy building up inside of me.
i feel jealous of nick.
no, no, no. stop it! angel is happy with nick, she loves him. but i love her.is she happy with him though?
but sometimes, it's perfectly fine to love someone who doesn't love you back. as long as they deserve your love.
i couldn't think of anyone else who deserves my love other than her.
i can't get rid of the feeling in my gut that something is happening between nick and angel. i mean, he threatened me to stay away from her.
if he's threatening to hurt her because of me, i hate to think he's hurt her for other things.
