to the finish line || ollie bearman

part 65

"angelina, im so sorry." he says, i give him a small reassuring smile.

"it's alright, i just hope im still wanted for next year."

"trust me, they will want you."

"thanks zane, you know you not as bad as i thought."

"neither are you." he says.

"what's been said on social media?" i ask, i haven't had my phone since before the race.

"i've not looked to be honest, i can show you though?"

"yes please." i say, and zane shows me what everyone has been saying on social media.

on twitter, many teams made a post wishing i was alright and many drivers that i was friends with.

after that we start talking about all of our previous battles in races, giving each other tips and compliments on our driving. 20 minutes had passed and i had forgotten about ollie and kimi outside.

"could you go find ollie and kimi? i completely forgot about them." i ask zane, and he goes to find them.

as he shuts the door i yawn and lie back against the bed, i was exhausted. i just wanted to sleep, but for some reason i couldn't.

i try to distract myself with my thoughts and think back to mine and ollie's previous argument.

"well it isn't a small detail angel, it's a big fucking thing. did you even consider what this would mean for us?"

"maybe there won't be an 'us' then! maybe i will stay in england, or somewhere far away from you!"

i didn't mean what i said, i was just mad. i need to apologise to ollie. is there any way i could not live in milton keynes? stay in italy with my family. stay home.

i want a future with ollie, i really do. but being in f1 is hard. no. i'm not letting it come between us. i will do whatever i can to stay with ollie.

just seeing how he was when i woke up, he really cares for me. we can work around this together.

the door opens, and i snap out of my thoughts. kimi walks in, ollie close behind but zane had gone. i didn't expect him to stay, but at least we had become friends now instead of enemies out of track.

"how are you feeling?" ollie asks, sitting beside me.

"tired but i'm fine. listen ollie, im sorry for what i said before the race. and im not going to milton keynes anymore, ill cancel the apartment." i say before he has the time to speak again.

"ang slow down. i want to come with you." he says, and i couldn't respond. he was going to give up living in italy, his dream place to live, to move to milton keynes. for me.

"w-what?" i say finally.

"i shouldn't have said what i said, and i shouldn't stop you from building you career. and i want to be there for you. so im going to find a new apartment in milton keynes."

"i know the perfect apartment." i say, smiling as much as i could.

"where?" he says, completely not picking up on what i was suggesting.

"she's asking you to live with her stupid." kimi says, and ollie's face lights up.

"really?" he says.

"of course i do."

"well that makes travelling to all the f1 races next season a lot more then." ollie says, a smile appearing on his face.

"what do you mean ol?"

"we can travel to all our rookie races together next season." he says, and it finally clicks.

"WHAT! ollie you got a contract?" i say, before wincing in pain due to pain on the side of my head.

"ollie mate, seriously?" kimi says, finally smiling for his teammate.

"are you alright?" ollie says to my reaction.

"yeah, but you got a contract?"

"yep, ollie bearman haas f1 driver." he says, and i could see how happy he was with himself.

"we are going to be rookies together! oh my god, kimi you really need to get this mercedes contract." i say.

"i think you mean got this mercedes contract." he says, smiling.

"seriously!!?" i say, looking over at my brother.

"yeah, we are going to be rookies together." kimi says.

"we're going to be rookies together!!" i say excitedly as there is a knock on the door.

"come in." kimi says.

"ms antonelli, how are you feeling?" the doctor asks.

"tired, when can i sleep?"

"not yet, i apologise."

"i literally came back from the dead and i can't sleep?" i say.

"i apologise ms antonelli, it's only for a few more hours."

"good."

"everything looks fine, so i'll get some food sent up." the doctor says before leaving.

as soon as the door shuts, i start swearing at the doctor making ollie and kimi laugh.

"i apologise? shove your apology up your arse." i say, finishing my insults to the doctor.

"only a few more hours ang." ollie says and i nod.

"do you know where my phone is?  i looked online with zane, and people think im still unconcious." i say.

"no-one said anything?" kimi says.

"clearly no." i reply, as ollie hands me my phone.

"i'll just tweet something i guess." i say, after thanking ollie.

@angelinantonelli : never would have thought i could brag about coming back from the dead but here i am. beat that @kimiantonelli

in all seriousness, i am more then grateful for all the support and kind messages i have received. and i have the biggest thanks for the emergency responders and marshals that saved my life after the crash

i post the tweet, before adding it to my instagram story, and turning the phone off.

"i really want to go to sleep." i complain.

"i know, but it's just a few more hours." ollie says.

"and i don't want hospital food, it's disgusting." i complain once again.

"ill get some you something else then." kimi says before leaving the room.
