The racing gods, fickle and capricious, seem to cast an ominous shadow over this day. And then it happens—a moment that plays out in slow motion, etching itself into the fabric of my memory.
The sickening sound of metal colliding with metal reverberating in my ears. My heart lurches, a cry escaping my lips as I hear the unrelenting force that sends his vehicle careening out of control and into the barrier.
Time slows down as I watch the replay of Xavier’s car veer out of control, crashing into the barriers. Xavier’s car, a crimson streak against the blue sky, comes into contact with Ren, which causes his car to fly.
He crashed; I knew it.
My intuition is never wrong.
My hands instinctively cover my mouth, a gasp escaping my lips.
The grandstand erupts in a chorus of gasps and concerned murmurs, the atmosphere heavy with worry. My heart pounds in my chest, my eyes locked on the wreckage.
The red flag is pulled out as debris flies everywhere.
I desperately scan for any sign of movement, praying that he gets out of that car unscathed.
Time stands still, and the world around me turns into a maelstrom of chaos and fear. The sound of screeching tires, a cacophony of tortured rubber, fills my ears again in my memory, mingling with the gut-wrenching thud of the impact.
The replay of the crash makes me relive Xavier’s car spiraling toward the barriers, a balletic dance of destruction that shatters my fragile composure. Tears well up in my eyes as the car collides with the barriers in my memory, the crunch of carbon fiber, and the explosion of debris resonating in my soul.
I am frozen in place, my eyes locked on the wreckage, my hands trembling uncontrollably. Time regains its pace, but my heart continues its erratic rhythm, a reflection of the chaos unfolding before me. The air smells of burning rubber and shattered dreams, the metallic taste of fear clinging to my lips. Panic courses through my veins as I search frantically for a sign, any sign of life amidst the twisted metal that’s dented on each side.
The seconds stretch into an eternity, each one laced with tension.
And then, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Xavier emerges from the wreckage.
Relief washes over me like a tidal wave, tears of gratitude welling up in my eyes.
He limps slightly, but he’s alive.
That’s all that matters.
I watch as race marshals and medical personnel rush to his side, their expertise ensuring his well-being.
From my vantage point, I see Xavier shaking off the medics, indicating that he’s physically okay.
But the concern etched on his face is evident, and I know that the crash has taken a toll on him. My heart aches as I witness his pain, the sight of him injured tugging at my soul.
Even in pain, he kicks the car he just crashed in.
He’s angry; this is the best result he’s gotten all season apart from his win at the first race of the year.
With a determination that’s characteristic of him, Xavier hobbles toward the edge of the track.
I can’t help but admire his resilience and unwavering spirit. As he’s escorted away for further medical evaluation, my focus remains on him. The roar of the engines and the cheers of the crowd fade into the background.
Relief washes over me in a torrent, but my heart still flutters with worry.

Violetta
It’s been a grueling two hours. They didn’t let me see him, so I went back to watch the race to see Ale win.
She’s dominating and watching my best friend be the first in her field and breaking barriers while obliterating her teammates is fulfilling.
But Xavier’s hurt.
