Love Between Telemetry [Lance Stroll]

•Chapter number thirty-five•

,,But, you can't say you love me
Even in between the kisses
Tender, tender little kisses you give to me
Just like you give to her, tell me how can you sleep?"
Answer; Rihanna

,,But you promised me that! You promised  me that you will go on Lara's wedding with me!" I exclaimed angrily through the phone. Artem promised me that he will be my date on Lara's big day, but suddenly he is busy and he can't go. Everybody who is invited has to have a plus one. Well, it's not mandatory,  but you'll look bad if you show up here alone.

,,I know honey and I'm sorry, but it's urgent and I have to stay in Moscow with my team," he calmly said while my blood was boiling inside me. I hate when people breake their promises, ,,I really would love to go there with you..."

,,Yeah, of course you would," I rolled my eyes. Typical driver, his team is much more important than anybody else. And also an expert in making excuses.

,,Rin..."

,,Bye Arten," I simply said and hung up. I'm not really in mood to continue in this discussion.  I need a fresh air now.

,,Hey Jules," I whispered when I reached the place I wanted. The place where Jules Bianchi had his fatal accident 3 years ago. I was part of Red Bull when he was driving for Marussia so I had the pleasure to meet him. He was funny, kind and humble. Whenever it was sunny or rainy he was wearing his typical Hollywood smile. We all loved him, he was an angel.

His crash shocked us all. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I remember that chaos when we had no idea what is going on. The race was stopped, but nobody told us what happened. After some painful minutes we found out that it was Jules who crashed. But nobody tells us that his condition was that bad.

Actually I still don't know what really happened to him. I know there are videos of the crash on Youtube,  but I never had strenght to see it. His passing year later was more shocking for us. He was too young, he was supposed to be winning for Ferrari and not going to heaven so early. His funeral was one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. Several drivers were there and they also carried his coffin to the cementary. I think nobody's eyes were dry that day.

Here I also saw Charles for the first time. At that time I didn't know he is a driver and he probably didn't know that I exist. It changed year later when I joined Prema. It surprised me that he is also a driver and how similar he is to Jules. Everytime Charlie was driving on the track I was more scared than I should be, because I had Jules in my head. And the last thing I want is Charles following Jules' steps. 

I was silently sitting on the ground looking at tyre hedge in front of me. I wasn't really thinking about anything, my mind was blank. I was trapped in a space-time, I didn't know what time it is or for how long am I here. 

Suddenly dogs and cats started to rain. At first it didn't affect me, but when I started soaking very quickly I decided to go back. I was shivering, because I only had a T-Shirt and a thin sweatshirt on. Till now the sun was shining, so I didn't wear any warmer clothes. Thanks to the heavy rain I wasn't able to even see the tips of my shoes. My wet hair were sticking to my face so I were looking like Samara. I was roaming around, having no idea where I'm going.

,,Drin, DRIN!" Although I was close to the breakdown I still recognised Lance's voice. I didn't answer,  because I thought I have hallucinations. Suddenly he appeared in front of me, looking scared to death. I've never seen him so terrified.
