TW: Angry Shouting/Yelling

In her mirror Noemi watches as a car flies into the air behind her, she briefly notices the number three as the car flies back down to the ground, slamming halo first onto the track, the car erupting into flames as it makes contact with the ground. Her heart stops completely. She loses her visibility as tears begin forming in her eyes, she begins swerving, before she knew it she slammed into the barrier.

Noemi woke up from her dream gasping for air as a few tears rolled down her cheeks. She tried to calm herself, however her heart wouldn't stop being at its quickened pace. She sits at the edge of the hotel room bed, rubbing her temples trying to calm herself down still. As her heart rate slows she stands up and walks to the bathroom, squinting as she turns on the lights. She looks in the mirror for a moment, her exhaustion clearly visible in her face.

"You don't look too good." Logan says as he walks alongside Noemi in the paddock.

"I didn't sleep well." Noemi responded running her right hand through her hair in a restless manner.

"How come?" He asks genuinely concerned about her wellbeing.

"Just a bad dream." She said, remembering her dream about her and Daniel's death.

"You can tell me, i'm good at interpreting them." Logan responded sincerely.

Noemi sighed deeply, "I dreamt of Daniel crashing," She paused, "I watched it in my mirror, and then when I started crying I lost my vision and flew into the barrier and died as well." She explained flatly.

"I'd say you're worried about losing the friendship you have with Daniel to this sport, whether it's in a crash or just a bad situation between the two of you." Logan explained what he thought the dream meant, "What do you think it meant?" He added.

"I think you're right." Noemi said, nervously fidgeting with her earring.

"What're you guys talking about?" Lando asked as he walked up to the two.

"Dreams." Logan responded with a smile.

"Ooo, I had a wild dream last night." Lando says, "I was a driver for RedBull but then they dropped me mid season for Lance Stroll, but then he crashed the car and so he had to race a go cart against the other regular cars-" Lando trailed off about his dream as Logan listened intently, Noemi however couldn't focus on it. She replayed her dream, trying to remember what track it was on. Her heart dropped as she recounted the straight the crash happened on in her dream, it was the one here in Miami.

"I have to go." Noemi said rushing her exit, "See you guys on the track?" She finished with a obviously fake smile before walking off.

"Is she okay?" Lando asked Logan.

"I hope so." He responded, "She doesn't seem normal."

"Noemi," Daniel whispered gently, "I am not going to crash." He reassured her.

"I know but what if you do." Noemi continued with tears filling her eyes, "You died in my dream Daniel, your car landed right on the halo, and went to flames." She said while desperately fighting tears.

"I know, I know." He whispered, stroking her hair softly, "I've had dreams like this about you." He paused, "I know they're scary, but they're not real."

"Right." Noemi whispered, "It's not real."

"Right." Daniel repeated with a gentle smile, "Im so sorry but I have an interview right now." He paused apologizing with his eyes, "Stay calm for me will you?"
