"If you could get edited to one song, what would it be?" I read off the cards.

Me, Max, Oscar, and Lando are sitting on the floor and leaning against a couch being filmed for youtube. We have to switch off asking each other questions on pre-written cards while building a lego set.

"Max? You seem like you already know." I sit back against the arm of the couch.

"33 Max verstappen." He nods and hands Lando a lego piece.

"BBL DRIZZY!" Oscar yells while pushing Lando out of the way to slam a lego piece into the set, "Bbl drizzy... bbl drizayyyyyy." Max looks horrified, Lando and I make eye contact and start dying laughing.

"Eh..." Lando thinks before looking up at the camera, "Arctic monkeys." he winks.

"Any specific song?" Oscar asks him while I place the last petal on my lego flowers.

"Arabella."

"You seem like you would watch your own edits, Norris." I laugh and hand Max the cards.

"Cannot confirm or deny." He glances up at me, "What about you, Wellsie? What would you like to see?"

"Hmm..." I pretend to think like I haven't been thinking about this moment every day of my teenage life, "I like Break stuff... But I think i'd have to go with Enter Sandman. Metallica."

"That checks out." Lando mumbles.

"Lando!" B groans from behind the camera, "We'll cut that." I laugh, thinking it's too funny to be mad.

"Max, you're up." B reminds the man.

"Right... okay so-"

I haven't spoken to Jackson in four months. I try to keep him out of my mind and my friends are banned from talking about him. So you can understand why I was so confused when I get a call from him.

I blocked him, like any reasonable girl would. But I didn't expect him to call me from some unknown number, "Hello?" I say, running around in my race gear.

"Caroline." I recognize his voice immediately and feel sick. I'm about to be locked in a car for two hours but I'm standing frozen in my driver's room with my ex on the phone.

"What do you want?"

"I want to apologize."

I laugh a dry and fake laugh, "Excuse me? Could you not bother me with your shit right now? I have to go race-"

"Baby please." He whines, "I miss you. I haven't been with anyone else since you left I-"

"Maybe you shouldn't have been with anyone else when you were with me!" I walk out of my room, shaking my head, "I have to go."

"Please! I need you- I've never been so hurt, I can barely get out of bed and fuck! I miss you Baby." I roll my eyes and hang up. I try to ignore my shaking hands when I walk into the garage.

"Hey!" B catches up to me, "I need you to do a really quick vid- Are you okay?" She notices immediately and I take a deep breath.

"I can't right now." I pull my headphones on and turn on my music. I play 'LUNCH' by billie eilish, breathing in deep and pushing everything out of my mind.

I stare into space, repeating the lyrics in my head. I'm fucking ready. This man pissed me off and now i'm ready to fucking fight.

People say I haven't tried hard enough? Have them watch this.
