Y/N - your name

I walk into the Ferrari HQ building with a small stride in my step. I was beyond excited that Ferrari asked me to help with some testing they needed done for F1 for the next season. It has always been my dream to drive in F1, but being a woman it's become rather challenging.

I'm currently in F2, but with the amount of hate I'm receiving I could easily be removed because the team is getting hammered by the hate. It was frustrating to say the least, but I saw it in a rather funny matter. I see it as jealousy and that's what feeds my winning mentality. They honestly couldn't say anything bad about me because I was always on the podium since the start of the season.

"Y/N! Good to see you." One of the engineers greet me as I walk through the doors. "Good to see you too. What's the plan for today?" I ask as he ushers me to the garages outside. I follow him, admiring everything around me. Man, this was exciting. "So first you're gonna get changed and then we gonna place you in this car. This car has some engine changes.' He says as I nod, admiring the red livery.

"What's changed with the engine?" I ask as he shows me with a prototype. "We are adding a new feature that pumps more fuel into the engine. We want to see if it will make the car faster." He says as I nod my head, interested in the new technology (a/n - I am bullshitting yall. Don't take anything I say seriously).

"That's so cool. Okay, I'll see you in a few minutes." I say as I grab the racing suite and other accessories such as the balaclava and gloves. He waves me goodbye as I walk to one of the driver rooms. As I walk in, I see Callum already standing there. His racing suite was hanging low on his waist as his fireproof suite hugged his body tightly. He gives me a smile as my face turns a bright shade of red, "Sorry, I didn't know he had designated driver rooms." I say as he chuckles.

"Don't worry, we don't. You can use it, I'm basically done. I just have to use the restroom if that's okay?" He asks as I nod my head. He walks into the bathroom and closes the door. I shake my head out of embarrassment as I start getting ready. I always had a thing for Callum but he was never interested. I knew that because of the lack of communication between the two of us. He never makes an effort but I don't blame him. His eyes are set on F1 and so are mine.

I quickly get changed, pulling my fireproof clothing and suite up. I also tie it across my waist, knowing I wouldn't enter the car straight away. I get started on my hair, braiding it in a tight French plait. As I'm about to finish, Callum exits out the bathroom with a smile. His hair was gelled back as he had water droplets all over his face. He looked like a snack to be fair.

"Nice hair." He compliments me as I smile at him. "Same goes to you." I say as he chuckles and sits next to me. He grabs himself a protein bar and breaks it in half, "Want the other half?" He asks as I smile and nod. I secure my braid and take the other half of the protein bar. We eat it in silence, enjoying the comfort we were offering each other.

"We need to hangout more." He randomly says as I look over at him. "We should. Maybe dinner whenever you're free?" I ask, taking a punt hoping he would say yes. "That actually sounds really nice." He says right before his phone pings. "I have to get going now. See you out on track." He says as he stands up. I wave him goodbye as I wait a little while before I'm called to come and drive.

I get ready before walking out, ensuring that I had everything on except my helmet. I say hello to everyone as I arrive and get all the details I need in order to do my test correctly. "You basically just have to drive around for us and see how many laps you can get in." One of the engineers say as I nod. I get into the bright red Ferrari and place my helmet on.

I drive out onto the track and start driving around the track. I pass Callum and other drivers such as Carlos and Charles multiple times, indicating how we all had different tests to run. As I'm turning a corner, I notice a sudden loss of power. It didn't feel exactly like a loss of power, but the car wasn't moving as fast as it was.

"Hey Fernando, the car has lost power." I say over my radio. "Y/N, get out the car now!" He exclaims as I pull off to the side. As I stop, the car bursts into flames. It just felt slightly hot around me as I look around, only seeing orange and the occasional red. I start unbuckling myself, but my fumbling hands make that more difficult than it should've been.

I feel my heart beat quicken as my breathing becomes uneven. I was having a panic attack and I knew that if I didn't get out soon enough I would pass out. I start getting out but I struggle once again from my shaking hands and legs. I then feel someone pulling me out with a lot of force. I don't look up as my only focus is on my burning hands and ankles.

"Y/N, can you hear me?" I hear Callum's voice as I look up seeing him in his full racing gear and helmet. "Yeah. All good.' I say out of breath as he places us down on the grass far away from the burning Ferrari. "The medical team is on its way. Are you hurt?" He asks as he pulls his helmet off. "Just my hands and ankles." I say as I pull my gloves off, seeing the burnt flesh on my thumb and on the top of my knuckles.

"Oh my, are you sure you're okay?" He asks as I take my helmet off. "I should be. Thanks for getting me out. I was close to passing out." I say as I sit up slightly. He sighs before pulling me into a bone crushing hug, "Must I come with you to the hospital?" He asks as I feel the tears fall down my cheeks. "Please.' I beg as he nods and holds me close to his body.

As promised, he came with me to the hospital. Luckily we weren't there for long, just getting everything checked out and my wounds covered. Callum sat by my side all the way through, except when I had to go for a MRI scan to ensure nothing happened to me that we couldn't see on the outside. But luckily everything was all good except for the burns on my hands and ankles.

They were also worried about the low amount of oxygen in my blood but that was because of my panic attack. They gave me some pills and sent me and Callum home. "Sorry for asking you to come with me." I say to Callum as we walk to his car. "Don't be. I'm glad I came with." He says as he opens the door for me. "Are you in any pain?" He questions as he gets into the drivers side. I shake my head no, "Good, because I was thinking we go for that little dinner date now. It will keep your mind off of everything and we get nice Italian food." He says as I chuckle.

"So it's a date now?" I question as I look at him. "Only if you want it to be." He says as he looks at me, hope evident in his eyes. "A date it is then." I say as he smiles widely before planting a kiss to my cheek. "Pasta here we come!" He exclaims as he starts the car, driving to the best Italian restaurant around.

I desperately needed a Callum imagine and I'm so happy with this. Btw, did y'all see Caterina's (hope I spelt her name right omg) story a few days ago with Callum on it? I'm sorry, but if they are dating I TOTALLY ship it even if she is Pierre's ex. But anyway, I hope you guys loved this as much as me. Stay safe lovies xx
