to the finish line || ollie bearman

part 41

"angel, don't you need to speak to someone?" ollie reminds me.

"ah yes! i'll be about 15 minutes so where should i meet you both?" i reply.

"we can wait outside the garage?" ollie offers, kimi agreeing.

"alright, see you later." i say before going to find jules.

i find him not too long later talking with my trainer louisa.

"hey, do you have time to talk a minute?" i ask.

"yes, but could we borrow you for a few minutes? i know your friends our outside so i can keep it quick." jules replies.

"perfect." i say.

"i just wanted to give you a warning, im in my period. i apologise already for getting stressed at everything."

"no worries, im used to it.... im sorry for not noticing what was happening with you angel. but me and louisa are coming up with a plan to hopefully help you as much as we can." he says.

"thank you, is that you need me for with louisa?" i say.

"yes! we just need some preferences in food choices, then we will finalise it with you and your brother as he requested." louisa says.

"okay, can we do it now?"

"of course." she says.

i help with the foot plan for nearly 20 minutes before finally i was all finished.

"and later tonight we have a light gym session. 5.30 alright for you? i'll bring some food for before and after."

"yeah, that's great. thank you!" i say, leaving the garage and walking over to kimi and ollie who were watching something on their phone together whilst laughing.

"what are you two watching?" i ask, approaching them.

"it's just a video of rene." kimi says, finally stopping laughing.

"ah i see. do you two have anything you need to do?"  i ask, and they both reply no.

"we could do something together?" ollie suggests.

"sure." me and kimi say at the same time.

"what though?" i ask.

"oh uhm that's a great question for kimi!" ollie says, and i couldn't help but smile.

"your the one whose been here before!" kimi argues back.

"okay okay. we could go for a walk along the harbour?" ollie suggests.

"yeah, the boats here are gorgeous." i reply.

"sure." kimi says.

"i have a gym session at 5.30 though." i say.

"im sure we will be done by then lina it's like 1pm ." kimi says, laughing a little.

"oh right." i say.

"should we go now?" ollie says, me and kimi nodding.

i got back to my hotel room after a very tiring gym session about 7.30. i had planned out that i would catch up with my school work tonight, or at least try to finish it because i have a lot. but i refuse to drop out like kimi.

i unlock my hotel door and double check it is locked again behind me. i head straight to my room, but freeze in the door way when i see kimi and ollie playing games on the hotel tv.

"since when did you two have a key too my room?" i ask, lying down on my bed.

"i got one when we arrived remember?" kimi says.

"ah yes. and you decided my room was better then yours?" i say as a joke.

"yours is so much bigger, and nicer." he replies, ollie agreeing with him.

"i know... urgh i have so much school work." i complain, opening my macbook.

"i don't." kimi says smugly, to which i throw a pillow at his head.

"i didn't drop out, unlike someone" i say.

"your still in school?" ollie asks.

"yeah, this is my last year though. i'm not going to university." i tell him.

"wow, is it not hard with racing though?"

"yep, but somehow i manage." i say, before groaning at the amount of work i had to do.

when i was an hour in (but honestly felt like a whole day) i got a phone call from a friend back home in italy, Lucia. i put it on loud speaker so i could continue my work.

(italian)

(lucia in bold, my replies in normal)

"hello?"
"angelina! your in italy next week right?"
"yes, why?"
"i'm throwing a party next weekend and i want you to come."
"oh uhm... is nick going?"
"i don't think he's in town for a while, so no."
"okay, well i might come. i'll let you know?"
"yay! just don't bring that loser of a friend okay?"
"... i don't think she wants to come anyway."
"perfect."
"okay...bye."

i end the phone and hang my head back whilst sighing.

"is she not talking to you still?" kimi asks whilst sitting beside me.

"yeah, i've tried messaging her- a lot actually. but she's ignoring me." i say.

"im sorry lina, i know you miss her." he says, places his arm around me and pulling me into a hug.

"i do, i really do." i whisper.

"im sure she will talk to you again soon. and i'm also 100% sure that you are not going to that party."

"n-no you don't get it, i have to go."

"i can't let you go to it lina, after the last party... and your not even meant to drink."

"i wont drink, please kimi. you can come if you need." i plead.

"why do you so desperately have to go?"

"because that's who they think i am!"

"lina..."

"i'm sorry kimi."

"i can come, im sure a few of them will know kimi but they won't know me." ollie says.

"really? you would do that?" i ask.

"yeah of course," he says, smiling at me.

"i guess if ollie goes, you can go. but no drinking."

"thank you kimi!" i say, hugging him tightly.

"it's alright." he says, hugging me back.

"i'm gonna go change, but i'll be back soon." kimi says, getting up and saying goodbye.

"he's gonna be like 30 minutes." i say, ollie agreeing with me as he lies down in the bed.
