IT HAD BEEN LONG SINCE LINNEA SAW OLLIE. well, in real life. they had been facetiming every day. as soon as linnea came home from school, she'd call the boy. unless he had a team meeting or was testing on the sim.

her parents had noticed how much their daughter missed the brunette boy. they were determined to have them meet once more in the near future. richard had been talking to david about the evermoore family flying over to bahrain, for ollie's first race.

richard and david both didn't tell their childeren, wanting to surprise them. rick would tell linnea two days before they had their flight. he would only tell her they were taking a surprise trip, not telling her where they were going. she would figure that out for herself when their gate would be called.

belle heard the front door slam shut, indicating that linnea had come home from school. the brunette walked into the living room, looking quite upset.

"what's wrong, baby?" belle asked, instantly standing up to go hug her daughter. "i just miss ollie." she stated blankly. belle could hear in her voice that linnea was trying to hold back tears.

"i know, sweetheart. you'll see him again, you know that. you two facetime all the time. i'm sure we can visit one of his races in the summer." belle tried to comfort her daughter, but linnea's soft sobs had already released from her body.

richard had not told belle about his and david's plans. she was completely unaware as of yet, so she couldn't comfort her daughter anymore then she already did.

"i feel like i'm being so dramatic but i just miss him because i just got him back and now i'm attached again and i know we facetime everyday but it's just not the same." linnea rambled quickly, between her sobs and hiccups.

"you're not being dramatic, lin. you just miss your... whatever. it's okay to miss someone, even if they're still alive. i get it. you were with him constantly when he was here, now he's been ripped away from you again and you're not sure if you'll ever see him again. but that's your anxiety speaking, sweetheart." her mother explained, linnea nodding along to belle's words.

"i know." the sixteen year old huffed, calming her own tears and letting go of her mother. belle caressed both of her daughters cheeks with her hands, smiling at her sweetly. "i'll text terri and david about tickets to one of ollie's races this summer. i'll tell your father about this too, if you don't mind." the older woman promised.

"yeah, you can tell dad. thanks mum." linnea smiled weakly at her mother, letting go completely and walking up the stairs. to call ollie, of course.

as linnea entered her room, she let herself fall into her bed with a puff. she pulled out her phone, deciding to text bruno and mikayla before calling ollie.

as linnea clicked away from the group chat, a notification already popped up on the top of her screen.

ollie💗💗 wants to facetime... accept or decline

as she immediately clicked the green button, her screen lit up with oliver's smiling face. he was in his ferrari drivers academy vest, probably still at the factory. "hi, nea!" the boy waved at her through the screen.

"hi!" she tried to sound convincing, she really did. but her voice betrayed her and cracked. obviously the boy on the other side of the line had heard, smile immediately wiping off of his face, a worried frown replacing it.

"what's wrong, bellissima?" the italian nickname had slipped from the boys lips. she had known what the word meant, slightly blushing at it.

linnea told him about how badly she missed him. she had tried to bring it subtly, not wanting to come over as clingy. the boy only smiled sadly, saying he missed her a bunch too.

a few minutes after their conversation, someone burst through the door on ollie's side. linnea could hear some voice she didn't recognize, "who are you calling?" it was a boys' voice.

"linnea, i told you about her." ollie replied to the voice, the girl's heart involuntarily fluttering at the thought of ollie telling his friends about her. "oh yeah her! i wanna say hi!" the boys voice answered.

"do you wanna meet kimi?" ollie asked the girl on the screen, she nodded while smiling, "sure." linnea could see a third shoulder appear on ollie's right side. she assumed it was kimi.

she suspicions were confirmed as ollie panned the camera over to the boy, who was grinning. "hi! i'm kimi, i've heard a lot about you from this guy." the boy said, smirking at ollie for a second, who shoved him in return.

linnea recognized kimi's accent as italian, he looked quite stereotypically italian too. the curly brown hair, the tan skin and the brown eyes made his heritage clear.

"oh? did you now?" linnea raised an eyebrow, joining kimi's efforts in teasing the british boy. "you're supposed to be on my side, linnea!" the boy raised his voice as linnea and kimi laughed at his dramatics.

once the laughter died down a bit the girl replied to kimi's introduction. "it's nice to meet you kimi, i'm linnea. everyone calls me lin though." she smiled.

"i think we'll be great friends." kimi smirked again, having found a new partner in crime to tease ollie with. linnea thought the boy was funny and laughed at his statement while ollie groaned in the background. "i'm very sure we will be kimi." she replied, grinning.

a distant voice could be heard, linnea couldn't fully make out what they said. ollie grabbed the phone back from his friend and smiled at linnea, "sorry, nea. we have a meeting. i'll call you after dinner, promise."

"that's okay, i'll be waiting!" the girl blew a kiss to the screen without a second thought, ollie smiling at her actions. "bye, bellissima!" with that the boy had hung up.

there it was again. bellissima. gorgeous or beautiful. oh, how that made her smile. you need to lock in bruh. she thought to herself.

mikayla had been right. calling ollie had cheered her up, thankfully. he was always so easy to talk to, she could tell him she killed a man and he would still support her. she knew her anxiety from earlier that day had been misplaced.

ollie was someone for forever. they had found their way back to each other once, they could do it again.
