RACING TO THE FUTURE - #6: MOTORSPORT IS DANGEROUS

Erjona was not the only girl in that championship. There was Sophia Flörsch too. Sophia had understood that her colleague wasn't so committed during races, so the day before the Assen race, while the two girls were alone, the German female driver tried to investigate... "What's happening?" Erjona was surprised by that question. "What do you mean?" "I see that you aren't concentrated enough on the championship as a good driver must do" "I haven't got that experience" "I'm not saying that you're a bad driver... I mean that in my opinion there is something which takes away your concentration" "And if it was "someone" instead of "something"?" "Can you be more clear?" Erjona breathed deeply before replying to Sophia. "Well... do you know Lando Norris?" "Yes, I know, the McLaren young driver... he's your tutor too, right?" Erjona's heart start to beat faster and faster. "I have a crush on him" she said. Sophia smiled. "You have to tell him about your feelings!" "And how?" "After the race of tomorrow you send him a video in which you tell him about your love!" "Sounds great!"

But during the race, the disaster struck. Erjona was driving as fast as she could... there were only five laps to go when suddenly her car crashed into an advertising panel and rolled upside down on the lawn for several times. Erjona, who had lost her senses, was trapped into the car. Some of the drivers, including Sophia, stopped in order to save her. She was taken to the hospital by helicopter. 

Erjona was in a deep coma. The doctors made her an X-ray scan: her back was hurt, she had to stay away from the racetracks until she had recovered. Her sisters were sitting on the bed looking at her. "Stay strong, little sister" "You'll be back to racing" Sophia knew well the situation, she went through something similar some months before in Macau.

Meanwhile Lando, Erjona's love interest, had learned about his friend's massive crash and rushed to the Netherlands to see her. When he arrived to the hospital, he entered the room and saw her sleeping. He had a crush on her too, so, like a prince in a fairytale, he kissed her lips, waking her up. "Where am I?" In a corner of the room she saw her racing suit and her helmet and despite the pain sentenced: "I wanna go racing" Iris put an hand on her shoulder: "Erja, I know how much you love racing, but your back is seriously hurt and you have to recover fully before heading back to the track" "Look, there is someone there!" Arlinda smiled. Erjona turned her head and saw her beloved Lando! "I love you" the young McLaren driver told her. "Me too" she replied. And finally they hugged and kissed. A new couple in motorsport was born.
