Fearless ~Ollie Bearman~ (2)

~im out?~

Millie walked into the garage, fireproofs on and race suit tied around her waist. she had missed this feeling more than anything. The pitlane opened for the cars to go out to FP2 in 10 minutes and she was super excited to get back out there and get going. The mechanics began to give her wierd looks and whisper as she passed by them, confusing her. Her race engineer waved her over from the pit wall, so she made her way out of the garage and out into the pitlane.

"why's everyone being wierd?" she asked
he sighed
"ask mike"
"well where is he?"
as if on que, mike crack appeared behind her
"millie, we need to talk" he said sternly
"well that can't be good" she said turning around
"we don't think you should drive this weekend"
she stood there in shock. she had spent the past god knows how many weeks pushing herself harder than every in the gym and on the simulator to prepare herself to get back in the car.
"why not?"
"felipe has done an outstanding job and we think it's just best if he races"
"i think felipe is an amazing driver but with all due respect, i was getting the better results and the team has dropped two places in the constructors championship since i've been gone. i think i deserve to drive" she replied
"the descision has been made. sorry millie"

she looked behind mike to see ollie stood listening in. she tried to give him a faint smile but he knew something was up. he walked over and placed his arm around her waist.
"with all due respect mr krack, i think it's foolish to not let her drive this weekend. you can still come third in the constructors championship if you get a podium this weekend and i think we all know that your best chance for that is millie" he said confidently
millie looked up at him and smiled. she loved how he was standing up for her and doing his best to get her in the race.
mike looked ollie up and down, discust in his eyes
"i don't see why i should listen to someone who can't even drive in the points"
that was it. millie was pissed
"just because he races for another team doesn't mean you can talk to him like a piece of shit you've stood in" she said angrily
"i will not have my drivers speaking to me like that" mike said, his voice slightly raised

heads started to turn around the garages nearby as people noticed the tension brewing between the aston martin team principle and driver. everyone always knew them to have a good relationship so seeing this debate between the two was unusual and raised attention very quickly. Lance walked over from his side of the garage, ready to step in the middle before one of them said something they would regret.
"mike you have to let her drive. you've always said to her that you have her this seat so she can prove herself in a sport full of men, so let her prove herself" he said standing next to millie.
lance had been there for her no matter what this year and she was thankful that he had come to her rescue once again. mike looked between the three drivers stood together infront of him. Lance then shocked millie by what he said next
"if millie doesn't race, i don't race"
her eyes widened as she looked to the side to see if lance was joking, but she could tell by his face. he was serious.
"your father would not approve of that"
"so what"
millie and ollie shared a glance before turning their attention back to mike.

"im not driving anymore this weekend that's for sure" a voice came from behind mike

felipe drugovich

"felipe this is your chance to prove you deserve this full time seat" mike said turning to him
"excuse me" millie said, barely a whisper "your gonna give him my seat?"
mike turned back to look at her
"looking forwards to next year, we weren't sure on if we wanted to extend your contract. when you were in your coma we decided that maybe it was best to look other places for next season"

millie was shocked. she had created a family at aston martin, and certainly wasn't ready for that to end. she wanted to move up the field with the team. she wanted the highs and the lows.

"so i'm out?"
mike nodded
"well then im racing this weekend and im gonna prove to you that this is a huge mistake"

mike went to speak but ollie cut him off

"shes getting in that fucking car"
