a/n: this is a rollercoaster of a fic, i wasn't planning on a part two but by popular demand it's finally here :)

It was the first race after the summer break in which you spent your whole time with Alexia, or as much of it as you could.

After having a month off you were ready to get back in your car and race again. This time you were racing in Spa, Belgium. It was one of your favourite tracks on the calendar year.

Throughout the whole weekend you had Alexia by your side and you couldn't be more happier. FP1 and FP2 went by perfectly, as well as qualifying.

Although you were not starting on the front row, placing in third, due to exceeding track limits, you still had a solid chance of winning.

It was the night before the race and you and Alexia were cuddled up in bed in your hotel room.

The tv playing on in the background, completely forgotten as the two of you shared kisses and tender touches underneath the sheets.

As the night progressed you two continued to soak up every amount of affection that you could. It was around one in the morning, the two of you entangled with each other.

Alexia's head was resting on your chest, listening to your heartbeat. One hand was drawing patterns on your stomach while the other was intertwined with yours.

"You ready for tomorrow?" Alexia asked quietly, her voice just coming out above a whisper, afraid she'll ruin the peaceful moment between the two of you.

"Yeah," you replied with the same amount of quietness to your voice, "It's always an interesting race in Spa."

"Please be careful, I can't handle another heart attack like in Silverstone."

"I'm always careful."

"Mhm." Alexia hummed, not saying anything as a small smile appeared on her face.

"I can feel you smirking." You chuckled. "When am I not careful?"

"You are the clumsiest person I have ever met."

"No way."

"Yup."

"I call bullshit."

"Need I remind you of the night we first kissed?"

"That was my plan all along."

"Sure it was, amor."

"That was hot."

"What? Me saying amor?"

"Sí."

"Eres un idiota pero te amo."

"Hey! You called me an idiot!" You sulked, "What else did you say?"

"I'll tell you after the race tomorrow." Alexia smiled.

"Or you could tell me now?"

"Where's the fun in that?"

"You're mean."

"You need to sleep." Alexia said as pulled the covers over the two of you a little more.

"Or we could do something else." You suggested, wiggling your eyebrows in a teasing manner.

"If you win tomorrow, then maybe, but now you need sleep."

"Fine." You huffed, looking out of the window you watched as it began to rain.

"Buenas noches." Alexia mumbled, closing her eyes and letting sleep consume her.

"Good night, love."

It was the next morning and you were awoken to the sound of rain hitting the hotel window repeatedly. Although you don't mind the rain nor driving in it you knew it would set Alexia on edge.

Alexia's eyes fluttered open, her face scrunching as she was met by the sound of thunder rumbling in the sky.

Rubbing the sleep from her eyes she rolled onto her back and raised her arms above her head to stretch out her limbs, releasing a content sigh as she did so. She turned her head to the side when she felt you wrap your arm around her waist.

The Catalonian slowly turned onto her side so she was face to face with you. She carefully raised her hand and her fingers trailed along your facial features.

"Y/n." Alexia whispered as she ran her fingers through your hair. Your eyebrows raised signalling that you were awake. "It's time to get up."

"What time is it?" You mumbled as your fingers drew shapes on Alexia's hip.

"It's around six."

You let out a small hum before removing your hand from Alexia's waist and turning onto your back. You held your arm out and signalled for Alexia to cuddle up next to you, which she happily obliged to.

"I don't want to get up." You groaned. "Can't we just go back to sleep?"

"I wish we could but you have a race to win." Alexia mumbled.

"Okay, give me five more minutes."

"Nope. You gotta get up now." Alexia said as she peppered your face with kisses making your face scrunch up.

"Okay, okay, I'm up." You said as you slowly pulled yourself up to rest against the headboard.

The peaceful morning was cut off by a loud beeping noise coming from your phone. The two of you groaned and you leaned over to turn your phone off but it was too far away.

You tried to reach for it again but it resulted with you falling to the floor with a thud and the woman, who was beside you, chuckled with laughter.

"Ow." You muttered as you rubbed your head and finally turned off your phone.

"Are you alright?" Alexia asked between her laughter.

"I might have a concussion." You murmured as you stood up from the floor and moved over to your suitcase to get your things out.

"And you're apparently not clumsy." Alexia mumbled, referring to your conversation last night.

As you turned back around you saw Alexia sitting criss crossed on the bed with a teasing smile on her face. "What's got you smiling like that?"

"Nothing." The midfielder shrugged.

"Okay." You trailed off, not really believing her.

"Come here." Alexia smiled as her pointer finger did a 'come hither' motion.

Doing as told you made your way to the edge of the bed, in front of Alexia and awaited for what she was going to do. The midfielder got out of the criss cross position she was in and got up to sit up on her knees.

"Did you really forget we went to bed in just our underwear?" Alexia chuckled as she slowly grazed her fingers over your abs making them contract and harden.

"How-" You trailed off wondering how you forgot such a thing. You were brought out of your thoughts when she moved her fingers downwards, playing with the elastic of your underwear.

"Go get ready." Alexia said as she moved away from you and laid back down on the bed.

"You're such a tease." You huffed.

"Perhaps, but for now go take a cold shower." Alexia smirked. "It'll help you out."

"I hate you." You said as you made your way into the bathroom.

"You love me." Alexia smiled as she dragged out the 'o' in love.

"Hello and welcome back to the world of formula one," Crofty said, "it's the first race back after the break and all the drivers are hungry for a spot on the podium."

"Although, it will be a tricky one today as the heavens have seemed to have opened up," Martin added, "but that won't stop the drivers."

"The front row looks a little different without our championship leader there."

"Yeah, y/l/n had to stick with P3 as they exceeded track limits during Saturday's qualifying on turn eight."

"They usually thrive in this sort of weather, having Hamilton and Leclerc in front of them will be sure to put up a fight as well as Verstappen in P4."

"I'm rooting for them."

"I know I definitely am."

"Radio check." Tom, your engineer, said.

"Loud and clear." You replied.

"The rain seems to have subsided for the time being but should come back in around fifteen minutes."

"Okay, can I speak to Alexia?"

"Yeah, one sec." Tom said before you heard Alexia's voice through the radio.

"Hola, amor."

"Hey."

"You alright?"

"Yeah, just needed to hear your voice."

"Buena suerte."

"I'll see you after."

"When you lift that trophy."

"Okay, y/n. You've got to concentrate now. Only a minute to go." Tom said instead of Alexia making you switch your mindset into race mode once again.

You watched as the front drivers pulled ahead to start the formation lap and you followed quickly behind them, trying to warm up your tyres in the wet weather.

Weaving from side to side you noticed how slippery it was outside of the racing line, taking a mental note on which areas were the worst.

Coming around the final corner you pulled back into your position and waited for the grid to fill up and for the lights to go out.

"Its lights out and away we go."

Pressing your foot on the accelerator you got an amazing start but not enough to pass either Hamilton or Leclerc. Coming out from turn one you were full throttle till turn five. Having control of the car you decided to play around a little.

You remembered the wettest parts of the track so you pushed extra hard around those areas, hoping to drive the car in front into a mistake, letting you go through but it was no luck.

By lap ten you were ready to change from intermediates to full wets as the rain was coming down harder and harder.

You managed to bypass Leclerc on the sixth lap, not giving you much of a fight and your sole focus now was on winning.

"Box, box." Tom said through the radio.

"Copy."

Pulling into the pit lane you noticed a couple of other drivers having the same idea as you. The stop was a solid twenty-two seconds overall. But as soon as you came out from the pit exit is where it went downhill very fast.

You came out the pit lane side by side with Fernando Alonso and the 2x world champion was not going to give his place up easily.

You two battled for a good couple of laps and on the thirteenth lap you were coming through Eau Rouge and as you were pulling ahead slightly Alonso tried to switch driving line behind you however his front wing clipped your rear tire causing you to lose control of the car.

You tried to regain control of the car but it was no use, you hit a particularly wet spot of the track causing you to spin and head straight for a wall.

Bracing for impact you felt the g force go through you as you hit the wall head on.

The whole paddock went silent and a red flag was immediately put out.

"Wha-? Tom what happened?" Alexia asked as she stared at the screen in front of her.

"I- Alexia-" Before Tom could finish, the answer was on the screen.

Your car was in the wall with you still in it, making no effort to get out.

Everyone watched as the stewards rushed over to your car, trying to see if you were alright however they got no response. Ultimately deciding that you needed to get to the hospital and you needed to get there now.

After multiple failed attempts of getting you out, the stewards and paramedics called for an air ambulance. The paddock now no longer had access to what was going on and they were relying on the FIA and stewards to keep them updated.

With no news for around fifteen minutes Alexia's mind had already gone to the worst possible scenarios. She was hugging her phone as she sat on the floor with her knees brought up to her chest.

Hoping and praying a notification or a phone call will come through saying that you were alright, but that wasn't the case. She heard the air ambulance over head and she finally let the tears flow.

Alexia was approached by Tom who kneeled in front of her, placing a comforting hand on her knee.

"They've got her out of the car and she's on the way to the hospital." Tom said softly, trying not to cry himself.

"I need to see her." Alexia mumbled as she stood up in a rush, trying to gather all her belongings.

"Hey, calm down-"

"Calm down? You want me to 'calm down'? Are you serious?" Alexia shouted, startling everyone in the garage. "My girlfriend is on the way to the hospital and I dont even know if they're alive and you want me to calm down!?"

"I didn't mean it like that." Tom said apologetically, "I was trying to say that I could take you. To the hospital, that is."

"You could?"

"Yeah, she needs you more than anything right now."

After quite a long drive, Alexia had finally arrived at the hospital you were at. She thanked Tom as she rushed out of his car and straight to the front desk, asking for which room you were in.

However, you were currently in surgery so Alexia had to sit and wait for her to be called by a doctor, telling her where to go.

Anxiously bouncing her knee up and down, Alexia lifted her head up once she saw a doctor calling out her name with yours coming right after. Getting up from her chair she made her way over to the doctor.

"How are they?" Alexia asked as she walked aside the doctor.

They didn't say anything causing Alexia's mind to spiral until they stopped in front of a door, the doctor placed a hand on her shoulder and sent the midfielder a sorrowful look before gesturing to Alexia she was outside the room you were in.

Alexia rushed in and once she saw you laying down on the bed she broke down into tears. She ran over to the side of your bed, clutching your hand afraid if she let go, you would never wake up.

Minutes that passed felt like days to Alexia. All she wanted was for you to wake up.

"You know, if you hold my hand any tighter it might fall off." You mumbled as you tried to sit up. Alexia had never moved quicker in her life once she heard your voice.

"Y/n." Alexia whispered breathlessly. She gently held your face and brought her head down so your lips connected in a small but meaningful kiss. "I thought I lost you."

"It's just a scratch, don't worry." You said, pulling away from the kiss and a little further from the woman beside you.

A beat of silence passed through before Alexia spoke up.

"Y/n?"

"I can't do this Ale." You whispered, looking down at your hands.

"What do you mean?" Alexia asked, her voice breaking.

"I can't keep hurting you." You said. "You deserve someone better than me, someone who can be there for you, it would be so much easier."

"I don't want easy, I want you. I don't want anyone else but you, can't you see that?"

"Ale, please."

"No, don't push me away."

"I'm not good for you."

"I don't care, you're stuck with me."

"Alexia-"

"No, you don't get to tell me what's best for me." Alexia sniffled. "That's my choice and you don't get to make that for me."

"You don't understand."

"I only want you." Alexia said as she punctuated every word. "You hear me? I can't lose you."

"You could never lose me." You said softly, finally coming to your senses and realising that the woman next to you means nothing but the entire world to you.

You moved over a little so Alexia could sit next to you. Carefully she sat next to you and she made sure to hold your hand as well as being mindful of your injuries.

"I keep repeating it in my head."

"Don't do that. I'm okay, I promise."

"Every time I blink I just see you heading for the wall and- when you didn't get out of the car I thought you were dead." Alexia sniffled as she nuzzled her face into your chest.

"It's okay." you said as you kissed the top of Alexia's head gently. "I'm okay."

Alexia sat up a little and looked at you, her cheeks stained with tears.

"You can't die." Alexia said as she shook her head.

"I won't." You chuckled as you cupped her face with your left hand.

"I'm serious. Like never- you can never die.. you just can't..."

"Never?" You smiled softly as you used your thumb to wipe away the tears that fell down Alexia's cheek. "I think I might have to one day."

"Well just do it after me."

You pulled Alexia back into your embrace and kissed the top of her head once she rested her face in the crook of your neck.

"I'm not going anywhere. It's you and me against the world."

"Eres un idiota pero te amo." Alexia mumbled.

"You said that last night. What does it mean?"

"You're an idiot but I love you."

"You're not joking are you?"

"No, I promise."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

"Te amo también, incluso si soy un idiota." You smiled.

"You knew, didn't you."

"Maybe."

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"I thought it was cute, you thinking so low of me-" You started but were cut off by a gentle slap to your shoulder. "Hey! No abusing the injured."

"I don't think low of you, I just didn't know you knew Spanish that well."

"Dualingo has been a great help." You chuckled.

"Next time just use me."

"Ooh, kinky."

"Not like that." Alexia smiled as she felt heat rise to her cheeks.

"I know."

"Te amo."

"Te amo mucho, querido."

"When are you allowed out?"

"In the next couple of days, then I can fly back to england."

"I'll come with you."

"There's no need."

"But-"

"I was thinking of going to Barcelona instead." You smiled as you looked down at Alexia, watching as a smile broadened on her face the realisation settling down on her.

"I'll be out for maybe two races so I was thinking I could come stay with you?"

"Yeah, definitely."

"I can't wait." You smiled and wiggled your eyebrows suggestively.

"No way, you are bed bound and injured."

"But-"

"No buts."

"What about yours?" You joked.

"No."

"You promised me last night."

"I said if you win then you could but you ended up crashing your car so..."

"No fair, it wasn't my fault anyway, one it was raining and two Alonso crashed into me."

"I'm only joking, as soon as you feel better we can do whatever you want."

"Whatever I want?"

"Whatever you want."
