young enough - c.l

thirtysix.

It's media day in Mexico. The people around the paddock have been informed about the situation. Security is on high alert.
But there are a few things people around the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez track have been noticing.
Photographers stay stationed by the entrance to capture the drivers as soon as they arrive which usually means they're one of the first people to arrive.

Aurora is not one of those photographers.

There are people rushing in and out of both McLarens and Ferraris motorhomes.

All the drivers have now arrived at the track - all of them baffled about the situation they've just learned about their friend.

Media day is postponed for now.

There has been an accident on one of the roads that lead to the track.

Lando can't get ahold of Max.

Charles can't get ahold of Aurora.

Max' phone broke when he got rammed by the other driver and Aurora couldn't find hers - it fell out of her hands when the impact hit them.

"What th- Aurora- we need to get out of the car- are you okay?" His gaze was stuck on the other car for a second . It had been a hard hit that had made him lose control of the car they were in.
There was no way that it had been an accident by the other driver. It was on purpose.
"M-Max" Auroras voice was shaky. Max was frantically searching for their phones - to call someone. He was rambling about how they were okay and that it could've been worse.
"Max" Aurora raised her voice and Max finally stopped what he was doing and looked at her.
His eyes locked with hers - while he searched for their phones Auroras uncle had made his way to the car they were in.

He had his arm around Aurora.

Aurora just nods to Max.

"It's okay Max"

Charles phone finally rang.

*incoming call Rora <3*

Charles: oh thank god baby hey hi- where are you? Did you get stuck in traffic because of the accident on the way here? I should've texted Max to let him know to take another road so you wouldn't get stuck there

Only deep breaths could be heard from the other side.

Charles: Aurora my love?

Max: Charles- it's M-Max

Charles: Max-? where- are you guys?

Max: I didn't see him coming- I swear-

Charles: are you guys okay?

Max: Charles- I didn't- see him coming- I didn't mean to- I lost control of the car- and then he came out of nowhere

Charles: Max. Where's Aurora? You two were in the accident?

Max: Patrick hit us- with his truck and then he was here and now Aurora is gone
