to the finish line || ollie bearman

part 63

ollie's pov:

it's been two days since the race, two days since angel hasnt been awake, and two days since i've spoken to her. they have been hell.

her heart had stopped due to the impact of the crash, but thankfully she wasn't at risk of that happening again. she had bruises along the side of her face, she had internal bleeding in her stomach which had also been sorted in surgery. but no doubt when she woke up she would be in pain from it. not to mention the fact her leg was broken, ankle sprained in the other and a broken wrist.

i miss her more and more every minute, feeling guilty about her accident. if she can't race again, it would be all my fault.

the doctors said she should wake up today, so i'm not leaving her side once. i need to be there when she wakes up, that's if she wants me to be.

kimi was asleep on a couch on the other side of the room, but i couldn't sleep.

as usual, one of rhe doctors comes for the morning check-up on angel, making sure she was alright which thankfully she was.

"sir, i would really recommend you get some sleep." the doctor says.

"i'll sleep when she's awake, it should be today right?"

"we predict so." the do it or replies before walking out. nothing anyone could do would make me sleep.

i hear a knock on the door, kimi and angels mom coming in to check on her and kimi.

"ollie, how are you doing?" she asks, sitting beside me in a chair.

"i'm fine guilia, i just need her to wake up." i say, gently stroking angels hand.

"i know dear, we all want this to be over." she says, placing her hand on my shoulder comfortingly.

"when he wakes up, you should talk to kimi. he's not talking to anyone." i say.

"i don't think he will talk to anyone other than angel, they have a special connection." guilia says.

"yeah." i say, my voice breaking whilst thinking of all the memories i had with angel and kimi too.

"sweetheart, come here." she says, pulling me into a hug.

"thank you." i say, once we break apart a few seconds later.

"don't stress it, soon enough she will be awake. she's a strong girl, she can get through it."

"she's so strong." i whisper, smiling through the tears at angel.

"im gonna go get you and kimi some food, what would you like?"

"anything will be fine thanks." i say, as angel's mom leaves again.

as the door shuts, kimi begins to wake up. he opens his eyes and looks over at angel with hope in his eyes which falls away as quickly as it came.

"she's the same?" he asks, sitting up and wiping his eyes.

"ye-" i say, before pausing mid word.

did she just? did she just squeeze my hand?

"ang?" i say, sitting in the edge of my seat.

"what happened?" kimi asks as i see her eyelids twitching and a murmur come from her mouth.

"i think she's waking up." i say, looking at kimi before back down and angel as she tries to squeeze my hand again.

"call the doctor." i say to kimi, "she's awake"

angelina's pov:

"shes awake" a familiar british voice says from the left of me. ollie.

i try to open my eyelids, but fail due to the drowsiness of waking up. i try once again a few seconds later, and i manage to keep them open for a few seconds.

i take in my surroundings and see a hospital room, machines beeping around me, ollie sat on one side of me and kimi on the other. not to be rude, but they looked terrible, though i guess i look worse considering how shit i feel right now.

"w-what happened?" i stutter.

"ang, you crashed." ollie says softly.

i look down at my body, feeling a pain to the side of my head and in my stomach, and basically all over my body. i was covered in injuries.

"a-are they a-alright?"

"lina you died, and you still care about the other person." kimi says. was i hearing things wrong or did i say i died?

"died?"

"your heart stopped, and it wasn't working for quite some time. but your alive now, it's gonna be alright." kimi says, taking hold of one of my hands as i was still in shock.

"w-wh- how?" i say.

"it was a terrible crash. you were right the whole race, they should have cancelled it. the track was dangerous, and you proved it with your life." ollie says.

"i remember being in the car... that's it."

"you were unconcious, and have been since." kimi says.

"how long?"

"two days." ollie replies as a group of doctors enter the room at a run.

"oh thank god, she's awake!" one of them say before they surround me.

i lose grip on kimi's hand, and then ollie's which i start to worry about. i could see ollie noticing my panic, and trying to comfort me from behind but it wasn't working, the doctors were telling him to give them space.

"for gods sake, let my daughter hold his hand!" a familiar voice says at the end of the room. everyone turns to look, and i see my mom shouting at the doctors.

they immediately move, and ollie's hand was back on mine, sending a wave of relief over me.

(italian)

"mom?" i say.

"i'm here sweetheart." she says, kneeling down beside the bed and placing her hand on my cheek.

"oh baby." she says, stroking the side of my face sending a wave of pain.

"ow." i whisper.

"i'm sorry, how are you feeling? does it hurt much?"

"a lot." i say.

"don't worry, it's all going to get better. your going to get better in no time."

"before the end of the season?" i ask.

"no, but the doctors think you could be ready for next season. that's if you want to continue racing?"

"of course i do." i say.
