When they got to the paddock, it was busy with people who were probably stressing about the first race, they entered with their passes and walked towards the red bull area. Elizabeth immediately caught sight of Alex as her ginger hair was in a pony tail and was wearing a long flowery dress.

They walk in and went straight to hospitality then taking a seat. "right you two. this is the official start of your 'relationship' so please put some effort in, max. " max looked offended at Christians attack, "so Elizabeth you'll be in the red bull garage most of the weekend so get comfortable, Max try be nicer to the reporters I know you hate the media stuff but please try." This got a scoff from max. After that small meeting they all walked to the garage to show Elizabeth around.

Max stood to the side to talk to his engineers as Alex and Elizabeth waited towards the back. Free practice would be starting soon so the two girls just talked about the upcoming album. "are you nearly finished yet cause the manager is annoying me and telling me I cant push it back anymore." Alex spoke as the rest of the garage was getting ready for the practice.

"i just cant write. my mind just blanks." She said slumped into a chair before seeing max walk past with his race suit on but hung around his waist. Subconsciously touch her bottom lip and staring at him, she hated to admit he was fine, but he was.

"Oi! " Alex snapped her fingers in front of the girl, "You need to hold yourself together!"

"i am."

"tell that to your face."

Just then max and Chris came over, "you need to be seen need the front, I'll get you some headphones." Elizabeth looked at Alex confused as she told her, she didn't want the headphones or to listen just in case anything happened.

"No!" She panicked looking at Alex for help. max looking at her concerned and Chris looking offended. "I can't. and max probably doesn't want me hear everything going on." she tried to save it.

"come on," max said pulling her up and dragging her to the radio and watching area, "here. you'll only get over this if you hear that everything is fine." he whispered before putting a pair of headphones on her head and going toward his car and hopping in.

It was the start of the first free practice of the second so it was just checking the car is okay and max is comfortable on the circuit. Also checking if checo is okay with the car and everything. Elizabeth breathed slowly trying to not worry about the whole situation, Alex saw this and put a hand on her arm and squeezed gently.

Chris pulled Elizabeth to the side and told her to post something about being here on Instagram. She nodded and deicide to pick a few photos and post a small dump.

charleslerclec: YOUR IN REDBULL?!Traitor.

Max drove back into the garage and spoke to his engineers. They were filming for the red bull racing YouTube channel so they had to play a couple. Max then walked over to Elizabeth after getting out of the car and removing his helmet. The cameras turned to them so she quickly grabbed max's hand in hers as he spoke to Chris. Max subconsciously squeezed and rubbed his thumb over her hand, not hard but enough for her to notice. Then he held her hand and pulled her over to his drivers room.

He ran a hand through his hair clearly stressed, as Elizabeth stood there awkwardly. "Are you okay, Max?" she said breaking the silence.

"I have to race and pretend to be in relationship and i have to fix my career, so yeah I'm okay." he responded sarcastically. Elizabeth swallowed thickly and scoffed

"I don't know why I even try with you. You're impossible." she rolled her eyes, "No wonder Your career is fucked. And when this doesn't work, do not blame me." as she walked out and slammed the door behind her.

Max ran his hands through his hair and thought about what she was saying. She was helping him. The media ran with the whole beloved singer and mad racer idea, he was the reason people weren't 100% convinced.

Elizabeth rang Madeline and told her to meet her at the circuit. Quickly Maddie got there and Lizzy hopped into the rental car Maddie had. "what's up? and don't lie." She spoke softly.

"I told max he's impossible and his career is fucked." She sighed feeling bad but she was just explaining what she thought.

"First you're helping him. Second he's a mad man, or mad max." Maddie giggled to herself. As elizabeth just deadpanned the girl driving. "okay, okay. lets go get some food and if its awkward, you can stay with me or your brother?" Elizabeth eyes widened SHIT she forgot to see her brother today.

Charlie

traitor.

I'm sorry i forgot! i was tried. Ill try see you before free practice tomorrow


She quickly messaged him to apologise and laughed at the traitor she knew it was an empty insult. They got to the restaurant and sat down to look at a menu as she did she heard a large group walk in. Of course the restaurant they deicide to eat in is the one where the drivers are also in. She caught eyes with her brother who smiled and waved them over only to receive a shake of her head. 'come on everyone likes you and mads' he mouthed and that's when seb shouted "omg little Lizzy is grown up!" and ran over.

"You're sitting with us. come on." there wasn't even a chance to fight it as she got pushed over to where the drivers were seated, "two more chairs if you can." he asked the waiters as he sat the girls on the table with elizabeth next to her 'boyfriend'

When everyone was finally seated and talking she turned to see her best friend, who happened to be talking or more flirting with Carlos. Max uncomfortably shifted next to her as they got bombarded with questions on their relationship. She knew drivers were gossipy but not this bad. Max put his arm on the chair around her and stroked her skin with his thumb. Acting like they didn't just have a go at each other. They tried to answer the questions but luckily the waiter came to take their order and the conversation shifted.

After they ate, they all paid expect for Elizabeth since max decided to pay for her as well after saying she can pay for herself many times. Then he leaned over to her and whispered in her ear, "let me drive you back to the hotel. please." she could only nodded slightly and luckily it was a dark restaurant so no one saw her slight blush.

They left the restaurant and got in their rental cars, Max opened the door for elizabeth, then got in the drivers side. "I know your helping me fix my career," he said not looking at her as he drove towards their hotel, "I'm sorry." he breathed out.

"okay." she sad quietly, getting out and walked to the entrance to the hotel.

"lizibeth!" Charles yelled as they walked, "how dare you be dating my rival." he joked. "hello max. treat my sister well."

"will do." max replied.
