• SUMMARY; After working with you for a couple of years, she decides that it is finally time to declare herself.
• AUTHOR'S NOTE; I've been a real F1 fan for a long time, this really excites me.
Australian Grand Prix, you'd been preparing thoroughly for this season. You were going to improve, you had to improve, the constructors' race had been a disaster, and Red Bull wasn't happy at all that you didn't even finish in the top 10.
A new season meant new drivers, people whose greatest achievement was racing in F2, cars that didn't have half the power of an F1.
You'd prepared for this. You'd finished 4th in qualifying, ahead of you were Max, Charles, and Lando. You needed to win. The stands were already filling up as you went down to the pits to check something with your technicians.
"Williams," you said as you approached the young woman. Ellie raised her head to look at you. Her eyes looked at you excitedly before she tried to control herself. "Hey."
You smiled at her standing in front of her "I hope you're ready, this time I have a feeling I'll be on the podium" Ellie smiled "I'm always ready, I don't know if the technicians told you about some changes we made to your car"
"Yeah.. something about the chassis and the rear wing, right?"
"Yeah, uh, did they explain how to use it?" Ellie asked. Before you could answer, one of the workers spoke to you. It was time for you to get in the car.
You waved goodbye to Ellie. "Wish me luck," you said with a smile as you ran over to the pit lane. You put on the balaclava and the HANS that came with the helmet. Ellie looked at you as you removed the steering wheel to enter the cockpit. She'd been in love with you since you started racing with Red Bull. Maybe after the race she would tell you how much she loved you and that she wanted to spend her whole life by your side.
The race started as usual, it was raining quite a bit so everyone was wearing rain tires, and although you knew that these had less grip because of the puddles of water, your tires felt different. Formation lap, had barely started when the Safety Car came out. "What the fuck" you muttered as you positioned yourself behind Max.
"Hadjar just crashed in Turn 2," your technician said over the radio. You tried to check your rearview mirror, but nothing serious was visible. Poor boy, it was his first race in F1.
After a while the race could finally start. The 5 red lights turned green and the engines began to roar. The first 12 laps were easy but there was one driver who was putting too much pressure on you: Doohan, another new guy who was trying to get into the corners to overtake you.
You would soon have to enter the pits, the tires were wearing MUCH FASTER than usual, they didn't have good grip and you were starting to think that they had already given you used ones.
Round 14, it was almost time to pit. Doohan kept putting on the pressure. You attempted a defense just as the car of Alpine accelerated trying to overtake. A crash. A very big one.
The Alpine car's flaps hit your rear tire causing your car to spin out of control. Driving over a rain puddle, the tires slipped and the car went off the road, The wheels couldn't hold up well against the small rocks used as a road barrier for motorcyclists, causing the car to flip violently.
The Halo narrowly missing you as the metal itself squealed before the car finally came to a stop against the barriers. The yellow flag was immediately raised causing the other cars to reduce their speed. Ellie watched it all from the pits, her heart nearly bursting out of her chest as they watched the replay on the screen.
"_____ please confirm your status."
The radio sounded distant, almost like an echo. You tried to press the talk button, but just as you took the wheel, everything went black.
The FIA medical car quickly approached. Three people got out with a stretcher. They pulled you unconscious from the vehicle trying not to hurt you.
Ellie ran toward you, trying to avoid the medics who were blocking her way. She fell to her knees beside you before starting to cry, resting her forehead against your chest. You looked fucked up. "Please... Please wake up" she whispered between sobs, gripping your uniform tightly. Her knuckles were white from squeezing so hard.
She gently shook your shoulders trying to get some reaction out of you. She was terrified, terrified that the same thing that happened to Jules, or Ayrton, would happen to you. The medics held her arms as Ellie screamed and kicked. She wanted to go with you. Soon the ambulance arrived.
You woke up in a white room and the smell of disinfectant. You tried to move, but your head hurt too much. Soon you noticed the needle wedged in your wrist and the constant beeping of the machine next to you.
The door opened revealing the same pit girl. Ellie's face lit up when she saw you awake. She dropped the cookies she was holding and ran over to you. "My God, you woke up" she said with suppressed emotion as he held your hands.
You looked at her slightly "What happened?" You said with a raspy voice from the lack of water. "You crashed into Doohan in the race, you were knocked unconscious, I didn't know if you were going to wake up, I didn't know what would happen if-" You interrupted Ellie by lightly squeezing her hands.
"Ellie... I'm fine," you said with a tired smile. "Fuck," Ellie muttered. "You had a concussion, the doctors said there was a chance you'd lose your memory and I was so scared you'd forget me, because I really love you and I- I-" Ellie started to cry.
"I just want to tell you that I love you so much and I want to be more than a friend to you, I want to spend the rest of my life by your side and if you don't want that's okay, I'll understand, just..." You stood up with difficulty before kissing Ellie softly on the lips. A kiss Ellie really wanted. You didn't even give her time to react before pulling away.
"I love you too" You said with a smile. Ellie was shocked for a moment before smiling widely. "And of course, I'd love to be your girlfriend," you added before Ellie kissed you again, this time more passionately. You responded to the kiss quickly before pulling away.
"I love you, so much..." Ellie said. You smiled against her lips. "Me too."
