On my own-lewis Hamilton

Chapter 3

I woke up actually on time today. I decided to wear a pair of small blue denim shorts and a tight black crop top. I looked at the time and we still had half an hour before we needed to leave so I found my small makeup bag and put on a bit of mascara and a pink lipgloss. I didn't put on much just because my dad gets all funny when I put makeup on as he still think I'm to young.

I went and put my trainers on ready to leave as I see my dad come out of his room.
" you ready?" My dad asks
"Yep" I say proud of myself for being on time
"Are you wearing makeup?"
"Only a bit of mascara and lipgloss" I respond hoping he's not gonna make me take it off
"I told you I don't like you wearing makeup" he sighs
"But you can nearly see it" I respond cheekily
"Whatever" he says ending the conversation

We headed down to breakfast in the hotel. I managed to find the pancakes in buffet and put  chocolate sauce on them. I managed to find my way back to the table and sat back down to the table. I looked around and notice that quite a few of the drivers were staying here as I saw a few of them getting breakfast.
"Did you really need that much chocolate sauce" my dad say shaking his head
"What it tastes nice" I say with a fork full of pancake  in my mouth
We finished up with breakfast and drove to the paddock. It was about a 20 minute drive to the track which wasn't too bad. I start to get nervous again as I realise it's gonna be even more busy today since it's Friday and practice is on. I noticed that I was picking my nails which I always whenever I get nervous.
"Em stop doing that" he says that looking at my nails
"Sorry.." I sigh in response
"Em look at me, you will be fine just make sure you stay next to me the whole time and we will head straight to the garage I promise" he says softly trying to reassure me. I decide to not answer and go on my phone instead as I just wanna be in my own thoughts.
"Em" my dad says trying to get my attention
"What" I say not wanting to answer
"Did you listen to any of what I said?" He says worriedly
"Yes" I say annoyed looking at my phone still
Before I knew he snatched the phone out my hand
"Hey give that back!" I shout getting angry
"Nope not until you give me less of the attitude and you give some respect when I speak to you" he says sternly
"Whatever" I whisper under my breath

We finally arrive at the track and as I thought I was even busier. I tap my pass to get in the paddock as soon as we entered cameras were flashing everywhere with them following us around fans asking for autographs and shouting his name. I try to stay as close as I can to my dad. All of a sudden, I got shoved out the way by someone. I tried to look around for my dad but I couldn't see him and it was getting more and more busy. I could feel myself getting more and more worked up as I couldn't see him anywhere and I didn't even have my phone. I decided to walk to the garage as I thought he might be there as I could feel myself getting a panic attack.
I walk into the garage and see Toto Wolff the team principal for Mercedes. He knows me well and so does a lot of the team as I've kinda grown up in the team since my dad joined when I was
2 years old.
"Hey Emma you alright?" He asks concerned
"Have, have you seen my dad" I say trying to bring a sentence together.
"Yeah he's in his drivers room." He responded
"Although he seemed stressed so I wouldn't wind him up if I were you" he smiles
"Ok thanks" I say before wondering my dads drivers room
I knock on the door hoping he's there. I can feel my heart beat go up as I hear him come to the door. He opens the door and without even thinking I hug him straight away.
"Oh my god where have you been I've been worried sick em..." he says in a sigh of relief
"I'm sorry" I sob in his arms "I got shoved out the way by someone and then I couldn't find you"
"Hey it's ok I should have noticed you were gone" he says trying to reassure me. I nod as I struggle to breathe and calm down.
"Hey deep breaths you're safe I promise it will never happen again" I finally start to calm down and we stayed in his room for a bit before he had to get ready for fp1.

I went and sat in the garage as he got ready. I sat there bored out of my mind still without my phone I still don't get why he took it.

He finally wonders into the garage and wonders over to bono his race engineer. Probably going over data or something I don't really know to be honest.

I start to play with my hair since I'm so bored and practice hasn't even started yet. I see my dad wonder over to me. "Love you" he says while giving me a kiss on the head.
It's always the last thing he does before getting in the car every time I'm at a race.
"Love you be safe" I smile I see him smile back at me before he gets in the car.

The rest of the day flew by as he got 3rd in fp1 and 1st in fp2
I sat back in my dad's room waiting for him being done with media bored out of my mind. I decided to start looking for my phone he must of left it somewhere in here. I looked for about 15 minutes and I didn't find it. I gave up and start playing with my hair instead.

We finally headed back after a long rough day. This race weekend in general has been so bad.
We got into our room at 8pm so I wasn't that tired. I got changed into my tracksuit bottoms as we got in as it quite was cold in our room. I decided to ask for my phone which can go one or two ways but he seemed in a better mood so I thought now would be a good time.
"Dad!" I shout "can I have my phone back" I ask In a sweet voice to try and convince him since it normally works.
"No" he says bluntly
"Ugh why not I'm sorry alright now can I just have it" I say begging
"No you can have it back tomorrow or the day after whenever I decide"
"But that's just unfair! I'm so bored" I saying whining
"Enough of the whining and the attitude just go and find something else to do" he says firmly

I slumped myself on the sofa as I find something to watch on tv. I finally find a movie and decide to put tangled On as it's one of my favourite Disney movies.

I look over while watching tangled as my dad comes and sits with me on the couch. I see him opening his laptop and see him answering work emails and doing work stuff.
"Are you still working?" I ask my dad
"Yeah it's been really busy this weekend I'm just trying to catch up on the data so we have the best chance tomorrow in qualifying" he says
"Oh it's pretty late maybe you should just leave it till tomorrow" I say feeling bad
"Em Its fine I'm nearly done anyway" he responds smiling at me

I carry on watching tangled as my dad finished work and came and sat next to me. I put my head on his chest.

"Time for bed princess" he says as the filmed ended. I look at the time and it's nearly 10pm.
" I can't get up I'm to tired" I exaggerate as I lay across the sofa.
"Cmon before I drag you to bed" he say jokingly
I get ready really slow to waste time since it's not
Very late.
"Emma hurry up stop time wasting" he says annoyed
I walk out the bathroom and see him sitting on the sofa on his phone.
"I'm not time wasting"I saying try not to laugh
"Whatever just get into bed"
I start slowing walking to my room and into bed still trying to stall him.
"Hurry up this isn't funny anymore" he says seriously
"It kinda is" I say laughing
"Don't test me Emma just get into bed" he says while slightly pushing me into my room.
"Night love you" I say
" love you to" he say softly kissing my forehead

I woke up just chucked on some clothes as I couldn't be bothered today.
We arrived at the track in time for qualifying and luckily nothing has happened on the way in which made me a lot less anxious.

I sat in the garage waiting for qualifying to start as the team gets the car ready. I see my dad come into the garage as he walks over to me.
"Good luck" I say as he gives me a kiss on the forehead and a hug before getting in the car
" be safe" I remember to shout as he drives off onto the track
