second chances ~ ollie bearman (2)

part 44

"what? you think you can do any better?" i say, walking over to the guy, who was quite a bit taller than me, but also a lot older.

"what?" he asks, laughing a little.

"oh it's funny now isn't it. it's funny that i crashed the car. i'm 100% sure you weren't slagging me off when i won twice for the team, were you?" i say, without getting a reply.

he takes a step forward, why he did that i don't know, but my first instinct was to push him back.

"figlio di puttana!" i say, before walking away, leaving the guy stood there shocked as i hear jules walking up to me.

"angel, come back!" jules says, following me.

"please, fuck off!" i say, shaking my head as i walked back to my drivers room and locked the door behind me.

i sit against the wall, with my head leaning back. everything i had carried with me was thrown on the floor as i sat there in silence, tears falling down my face.

to tell the truth, it wasn't even about the race. well, it was still frustrating so perhaps a little bit. but i shouldn't have reacted like that towards lando, and i shouldn't have ignored him afterwards. i don't even know if it was his fault, it could have been mine and i didn't even think before shouting at him. i was angry at myself, and then hearing what that guy said just made it even worse.

i had been sat on the floor a while, jules having decided to leave me be. the tears had stained my face, and i didn't have the energy to get up.

jules's pov:

"please, fuck off!" angel says, walking away from me.

i knew it would be best to leave her for a little, let her calm down. hopefully she would agree to still go to media pen, avoid the fine. i ran my hand through my hair, as i hear someone saying her name.

"honestly, angelina she tho inks she's all that. she's just a bitch with money..."

i couldn't listen to anymore of him slagging her off, and i storm over.

"care to repeat that, george?" i say.

"what? come on jules, surely you agree with me. shes a bitch! they should drop her! i feel sorry for you having to deal with her all the time. if i was you i would have resigned already." george says.

"no, you don't know anything about her. my driver is the complete opposite of a bitch. and whilst we are talking about firing someone. your the only one whose going to be loosing their job here is you." i say, turning away and heading straight to talk to mike krack (team principal).

i knew he would agree with me, he loves angel as well. and i know he wouldn't stand for it. anyone who talks about angel like that doesn't deserve a place here.

i was so busy getting that man fired, i completely forgot to go and check on angel. that was until ollie comes into the garage looking worried.

"jules, where is she? is she okay?" he asks.

"uhm she's in her room." i say, and he starts to walk away after thanking me, but i gently take hold of his arm.

"wait. ollie, listen." i say, before telling him what had happened.

"is he getting fired?" he asks.

"already done." i reply, before he walks away.

angel's pov:

i hear a soft knock on the door, nothing like jules' knock.

"ang?" ollie says softly.

i slowly get up, and unlock the door, opening it to face ollie. i don't say anything, but i take a step close to him and wrap my arms around his neck, pulling him into a hug as i feel his arms around my waist fighting around me.

"i feel so bad." i say, still wrapped in his arms.

"what about baby? because what that guy said, you shouldn't feel bad about." he says softly.

"about what i said to lando. i shouted at him without even thinking. i-i was just so caught up and i didn't even think whether it could have been my fault. and i just shouted at him and, and ignored him. but his race was ruined too. he was so nice to me, he helped me with starting here and then this is how i am to him? i feel like a terrible person. and i really don't want to loose another friend." i say quickly.

"listen to me, you are not a terrible person." ollie says, pulling away and looking at me.

"but-"

"you said it yourself, you were caught up. and anyway you two are good friends you will be able to talk about it."

"honestly ol, i don't think he will want to talk to me."

"you said you ignored him after, right? is that not him trying to talk to you?" ollie points out.

"well, yeah. maybe. or he was just trying to shout back?"

"no, i don't think so."

"anyway, where did you finish?"

"7th." he says, and for a minute i completely forgot about everything that had happened to me during that race.

"OLLIE! i'm so proud of you baby." i say, kissing him, the biggest smile on my face when i pull away.

"it's nothing compared to you." he replies.

"no, ollie. shut up. this is amazing, don't put yourself down. it's your first points this season!" i say, giving him a serious look.

"okay... thank you, i love you." he replies. kissing me this time.

"and i love you more." i reply.

"i don't think so."

"oh yeah?"

"yeah." he replies, smiling down at me.

"well, i know so. beat that."

"your wrong baby. now i would love to stay here with you, but we have to get to the media pen. and maybe you can talk to lando after?" he suggests, and after groaning i agree.

"i'll see you there." he says, kissing me on the forehead before escorting me over to jules and then heading back to haas.

florence soon comes over, and we make our way over to the media pen. and it turns out news travels fast in an f1 garage, because she knew about my... incident with the mechanic.

i do my interviews in the media pen, ollie giving me a thumbs up when he sees me, before telling me not to wait for him one i was done.

and i had somethings i needed to finish in aston martin, so once i was done in the media pen, me and florence begin the walk back.

"angel? could we talk?"
