"where are we starting?" i ask nervously, after finishing my last lap.

"there's two more cars to complete their lap, but it's looking good kid." jules replies.

"it's p4, well done angel. it was a brilliant lap." he finally says.

"no? stop lying." i reply.

"im not lying! the sun is in the sky."

"mate, i don't believe you."

"what, you think the sun is in the ground? i thought you finished school."

"fuck, mate i- this was not expected." i say, shocked, whilst driving the car back to the pit lane.

i climb out of the car, and jules was waiting to congratulate me. i walk over and pull him into a hug, whilst a few of the mechanics and engineers i was friends with clap to congratulate me.

"let's get it tomorrow yeah?" i say confidently, smiling at jules.

"let's do it." he says, matching my happiness.

i spend another two hours at the track, doing data analysis, filming another video for social media with lance, before finally changing and leaving the garage.

"angel!" someone says my name, a little far away from me.

"alexandra! it's so nice to see you again." i say, smiling and walking over to charles' girlfriend.

"the same for you as well. but you were amazing in the sprint qualifying." she says, hugging me.

"thank you, you look gorgeous."

"as do you! are you going back to the hotel now?"

"yeah, what about you? are you waiting for charles?"

"yeah, i think he's just finishing up. but you never know with him, he gets caught up in a conversation. but i don't want to keep you from getting rest, so ill see you tomorrow." she says, smiling before we say goodbye and split our seperate ways.

i don't even reach the paddock entrance, before getting stopped by another person.

(italian)

"look who it is, my sister starting p4!" kimi says, squeezing me into a hug.

"thank you kimi." i say, smiling across at my brother.

"are you travelling back to the hotel?" he asks.

"yeah, are you?"

"well, i'm meant to be. i forgot to order a taxi though."

"good thing im here then." i say, laughing at his idiot actions.

"yes, it was amazing timing for you to leave." he says, placing his arm across my shoulder.

"so, do you think you could do me a favor?" i ask.

"of course, what do you need?" he asks, confused.

i place a key in his hand, and he looks back up at me completely confused, before it click in his mind what it was.

"is this the key, to the milton keynes place?" he asks

"yeah, do you think you could give it to him somehow."

"i- er- what?"

"it's time to move on, i think it's the right thing to do. or at least i hope it's the right thing to do." i say.

"i mean, if that's what you want. then of course lina."

kimi's pov:

after finding out his room number from esteban, i head straight over, key in my pocket. i should probably just put it under the door, but i should talk to him.

i knock on the door three times, before waiting for him to open the door, which thankfully wasn't too long or i would have started to rethink this.

(english)

"hello- kimi?" he says, shocked.

"what on earth were you thinking man? believing that photo." i say.

"kimi i know she's your sister, but you need to believe it! the proof is there."

"i'll give you some advice, go get some glasses. your clearly fucking blind." i say, before putting the key in his hand.

"what's this?" he asks.

"the key, to your apartment. congratulations man, you lost her,the best thing to ever happen to you" i say, before walking away.

ollie's pov:

the key, to your apartment. congratulations man, you lost her, the best thing to ever happen to you." he says, before walking away and leaving me there completely shocked.

i could feel my eyes filling with tears, and i immediately shut the door, hiding the fact i was about to cry.

i know i haven't spoken to her in two weeks, but hearing the words "you lost her". they really hurt. i can't help but feel like ive messed up, a thought from my heart. but ive seen the photo, she cheated. and i can't forgive that.

flashback:

we had just gotten back from the abu dhabi grand prix, our apartment had nothing out a single mattress and a tv, but we didn't care.

i was sat on the mattress, legs crossed underneath my body, and angel sat opposite me. we both had a hairbrush in hand singing along to taylor swift songs like we were performing the song for a crowd of people.

"little did i know
that you were romeo, you were throwing pebbles
and my daddy said, stay away from juliet
and i was crying on the staircase
begging you, please don't go
and i said, romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
i'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
you'll be the prince, and i'll be the princess
it's a love story, baby just say..... yes

....

"he knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
"marry me juliet, you'll never have to be along
i love you and thanks all i really know
i talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
it's a love story, baby, just say yes"
oh, oh oh
cause we were both young when i first saw you."

we both finish looking at each other, smiling, so in love with each other it was like a fairytale. nothing would ever come between us.

we spent hours singing love songs together, the neighbours probably pissed at us. but we were young, and in love, and didn't care

(normal time)

shit. i think ive messed up. there's no way in hell that girl could have possibly ever cheated on me.

i had never gone to my photos app on my phone so quickly. i go straight to the screenshot i had of the photo and look closely. fuck.

it was fake. and only a fucking idiot would believe it.
