"angelina antonelli... born bologna... she knew what she wanted to be from a young age... at just 16 years of age, she's won her first f3 race... one of very many i'm sure... bound to be one of italy's finest... ladies and gentleman i present you angelina antonelli, the 2023 fia formula 3 championship...antonelli joins the aston martin junior driver academy, is this just from the influence of vettel? does this young girl really have a chance of getting to formula one?... after a superb f3 season, the young italian girl signs with hitech for the 2024 FIA formula 2 season... a first f2 win at home for the italian driver... angelina wins again!... another win for the italian girl... leading the championship...can antonelli win herself another race on her birthday on a day with tricky conditions...
oh! big crash there! is that one of the hitechs.......

it is confirmed now, that angelina antonelli, is in critical condition after her heart stopped in a tragic crash earlier today... will the newly 18 year old ever make it to formula one now?... is this end of what looked to be a promising career?... of course she crashed, she's a girl... women shouldn't be drivers... she nearly killed him... all her fault... antonelli retires from the championship for the rest of the season... is this really goodbye to her?

angelina antonelli signs with aston martin for the 2025 formula one season! welcome back to the young girl from bologna... she beat the dead, she told them no, she told them she had a job to do... she had to win a race, and that she's done. she's won at her home crowd!

she. is. angelina. giulia. antonelli.

cheers erupt as i walk out onto the middle of stage, waving at the crowd of fans stood below. holy shit.

"hello las vegas!" i say after picking up the microphone, everyone cheering once again.

"all i can say is wow... my first concert ever and i don't think ill ever beat it. so thank you for choosing to spend your saturday morning with me." i say, before introducing the band i was working with.

"these guys are amazing, but this first song is on the piano so er yeah." i say, as chests erupt, people realising which song i was about to play.

i take seat in front of the piano, and begin to play 'constellations', the crowd singing along with me. the volume of the fans was very impressive, it just showed how many people were really down there. as the song comes to a finish, everyone cheers and claps as i stand up from the piano, taking the microphone with me as i walk to the centre of the stage, before starting my second song 'so high school'

every so often, i stole a look across at ollie. i mean, after all these two songs were about him. and i knew he knew it.

"okay so er, as you know i don't have that many songs. i have these two released only. yet. so don't worry, i still have a few songs to go. this next one, you might know a bit of it, probably not. just depends on if you stalk my tiktok page or not." i say, getting a few laughs as 'dying on the inside begins to play.

surprisingly, people did know some of it. only the bit i posted on tiktok weeks ago, because i've not really posted since then. it was an important song to me, it showed what i went through, and could hopefully help other to know they aren't alone.

"if you are going through anything like this, just know it gets better, eventually. trust me on that one." i say, as the songs finishes.

as i go to start talking again, i hear someone shout out form the crowd, "where's ollie?!!"

"where's ollie? love, this is my concert, not his. honestly how do you get out names mixed up? it's not like i've taken his last name yet either." i reply, whilst watching ollie laugh as i look across at my group of friends.
