Whumptober Day 22

Bleeding through bandages - Tourniquet - Reopening Wounds - "Oh, that's not good"

It was a bad accident.

A bad nightmare.

Caretaker laid in their hospital bed. A vacant dissociated look on their face. Pain and tears in their eyes.

"How could I.... be so angry... lose my control", they blinked out of their dissociated thoughts.

Across the room laid Whumpee. Completely unconscious. Completely unaware.

Caretaker's lip quivered. They were responsible for what happened. They had gotten so angry at a situation they couldn't even remember now. They could remember though that it wasn't that big of a deal.

The only way they knew Whumpee was still alive was the steady beeping of the heart monitor.

A nurse came in and walked towards Caretaker.

"Please check them first", Caretaker pointed, "I'm okay, just check them."

The nurse looked at them worriedly, but nodded.

Caretaker watched like a hawk while Whumpee was being checked. Every movement the nurse and the doctor made until they walked toward them.

"Please, I am okay", Caretaker carefully kept the blankets over their stomach, "just take care of Whumpee."

The doctor, a close friend of Caretaker's studied them closely.

"Nurse, I'm going to consult with Caretaker for a few minutes ", the doctor sighed, "I'll call you back if I feel I need you."

Caretaker sighed when the doctor sat down next to them.

"It's my fault, I was mad... I... wasn't paying attention. I wasn't mad at Whumpee, I could never be mad at them. I'm sure they were scared to see me so angry though. It scares me that that was the last thing they remembered before going unconscious. What if they never wake up?", Caretaker's allowed a few tears to fall, "I'm supposed to protect them."

"Caretaker the other person was drunk. They were out of control and hit your car. You couldn't have done anything", the doctor frowned, "Whumpee is just fine. They look perfect."

"Then why won't they wake up?", Caretaker whispered.

"They will, you know as well as I know, they will wake up when they're ready to", the doctor stood up, "please at least let me check that cut on your stomach."

Caretaker tightly held onto the blanket and shook their head.

"Alright", the doctor sighed out their frustration, "I have a few more patients to see. I will be back to check on Whumpee, and then I am checking on you. You will not be allowed to say no either, or I'll put you on a psych watch. You are making me a little concerned."

Caretaker nodded and set their stare back to Whumpee until the doctor left.

Caretaker carefully peeled their blanket up.

They sighed as they saw blood seeping through their bandages.

The doctor came back about forty-five minutes later. They first glanced at Whumpee then turned to see Caretaker.

Caretaker was unconscious... hunched over to the side of the bed.

"Caretaker?", the doctor called, "CARETAKER?"

"I need a crash cart and emergency in here stat", the doctor yelled as they hurried to the unresponsive Caretaker.

Nurses hurried in.

Caretaker was held up as their bed was lowered.

"You idiot", the doctor mumbled at their friend as they lifted the blanket and saw all of the blood.

"They've been hiding their injuries... it looks really bad", the doctor called, "I need a sanitary room stat. Get patient prepped to be moved."

Whumpee opened their eyes slightly in time to see Caretaker getting rushed out.

"CARETAKER", Whumpee cried out, and started to climb out of their bed.

Whumpee wasn't aware of their injuries and was on the floor in seconds.

A nurse knelt down and tried to brace them.

"What's happening?", Whumpee cried out, "what's happening?"

The doctor was alerted that Whumpee had woken up.

They looked down at Caretaker.

"And you are now unconscious", the doctor sighed at their friend, "you are the biggest idiot."

The nurse looked at the doctor with concern.

"Don't look at me like that nurse... I will be telling them the same thing when they are awake. They are a close friend of mine... and they are stupid", the doctor glared at the unconscious Caretaker, "they're lucky I love them."

Whumpee stared at the door with nervous watery eyes.

The doctor came in and looked at them.

"Well I'm glad to see you awake finally", they smiled as they sat down beside the bed, "Caretaker will be happy when they wake up too."

"Is Caretaker okay?", Whumpee glanced at the door a few times.

"Yes, they are okay. They allowed an injury to get very bad without telling me. I have them in ICU for a few days", the doctor smiled weakly, "they are okay, I promise."

Whumpee looked down.

"Do you trust me?", the doctor reached and squeezed Whumpee's hand.

Whumpee nodded, "they were mad before the accident... are they alright?"

"Yes, they have been stressed about you. They allowed that worry to overwhelm them and didn't ask for help. I promise they are alright. I strongly believe they would like you to relax and rest now. They will be back in a few days."

"Can I see them now?", Whumpee fidgetted nervously with their blanket.

"No, not right now. You are also recovering from the accident. You are too weak to be moved right now", the Doctor stood, "do not get out of this bed again... do you understand me?"

"Yes doctor", Whumpee nodded.

"Very good. Now here is the call bell if you need to get a nurse. I'm off the clock in a few minutes, and I'm going to check on Caretaker."

"Will you say hi for me at least?", Whumpee whispered as Doctor helped them lay down.

"I can do that. Do you want me to say that they are an idiot for not taking care of themself for you as well?", Doctor grinned.

Whumpee grinned and nodded.

"Good Whumpee", the doctor chuckled, "alright, I'll see you in the morning."

Caretaker grunted a few times before opening their eyes.

"Wh-what happened?", they whispered, "WHUMPEE?", they tried to sit up and look, but a strong hand held them down.

"I swear, if you move anymore...", a frustrated voice came from beside the bed.

"Doc?", Caretaker questioned. Their hearing still a little fuzzy.

"Yes, it's me", Doctor leaned up as Caretaker turned to them.

"What the heck were you thinking? Were you even thinking?", Doctor angrily whispered so not to wake up other patients.

"I, uh, I don't know. I didn't want to take any attention from Whumpee's care. I also didn't want to be taken away from them", Caretaker looked down.

"So you decided to allow yourself to bleed out, and almost die", Doctor folded their arms angrily, "you would have been taken away from Whumpee permanently then. It would have taken me thirty minutes to address your bleeding and have it fixed. Instead we had to do extra work."

"Please stop yelling at me", Caretaker whispered, "I was worried about Whumpee and everything going on. I'm sorry I did that and worried you."

The doctor took a deep breath, and sighed slowly.

"You pull another stunt like that again... I'll... I don't know what I'll do, but you won't like it. I told you Whumpee was alright. They are actually awake right now."

"Wait they are?", Caretaker almost jumped out of the bed.

The doctor almost reached a hand out to stop them.

"Yeah, and had you been honest, you'd be down their right now. You caused them to climb out of bed, and injure themself again. They are nervously watching the door right now with tears in their eyes because they want you."

Caretaker looked down at the bandages.

The doctor sighed again.... this time their exhale even slower.

"Whumpee says hello", the doctor replied quietly, "they understand that you are in ICU and can not come down to them right now. Nor can they come up to see you", Doctor pulled out a piece of paper, "this is the room number. You can call down to the nurse's station 'tomorrow morning', they enunciated, "they are trying to sleep right now. The nurse will patch you through to their room. Am I clear?"

Caretaker looked at the paper sadly and nodded.

"That is not a good enough answer. AM I CLEAR?", the Doctor repeated.

"Ye- yes Carewhumper, I understand", Caretaker frowned.

"That's Doctor Carewhumper to you", they chuckled, then glanced down at the bandages, "are you feeling alright right now?"

"Oh yes, I feel alright", Caretaker nodded.

"That's good", Doctor nodded, "please remember I have yours and Whumpee's best interest in mind. You have to trust me on that, okay."

Caretaker nodded and let a tear fall from their eye.

"Do you need a hug to feel better?", Doctor sighed.

"Yes please", Caretaker whispered.

The doctor positioned themself do not to hurt Caretaker, then knelt down and hugged them.

"I'll be back tomorrow morning to check on you. Please do not give the doctors a hard time while I'm out. They know they can call me if my patients are unruly", the doctor patted Caretaker's back, "behave."

"Yes Doctor", Caretaker smiled, "thankyou for taking care of us... like you always do."

"You're welcome", they started for the door, "get some sleep."

Taglist. As always please let me know if you want to be added or taken off of the list. It's not a problem at all.

Did your partner try to kill you 😶😮😲🤯😩😭

Yes. Twice. First a car “accident” (that actually ended up in two papers here in Norway). He drove a huge Honda right into a little fence in record speed and it turned 180* degrees in the air and we ended up upside down. It was so weird because the medic said “it’s very important to use a seatbelt but in this specific instance if u had worn one ur neck would’ve cracked and u would most likely die. It’s important to wear a seatbelt at any time but this specific time it was actually good that u didn’t wear it”. HOW INSANE? I remember we told our parents when we had this “meeting” after this and no one believed it (not that it matters but I was just so stunned by it) but pls use a seatbelt!! This it not an anti-seatbelt announcement (wear ur seatbelt! Seriously!!!). I’m just relaying what he told me.

And the other time (I went back u see. Cus im an idiot u see…) and when I wanted to end it he said a version of the “if I can’t have u no one will” shit and stood there with a knife and said “well then one of us has to go” (and u know what ‘go’ means…) and I remember being really scared he was gonna hurt moffe (my dog) which he was always jealous of (imagine being jealous by a 3 kilo dog jeez man…) but yeah it was a little knife fight and it ended with the police (I called) and I had to walk to my dad in the coldest of winter. around 2 a clock at night I remember. It was legally his apartment after all. The rich wins. The cops didn’t even give me a ride. It was so cold I remember having to carry Moffe a lot of the way.. in the middle of the night. But I did love him at some point. He was the love of my life in many ways. I’m very glad I experienced that. I’m just sad it had to be such a dramatic ending.

I was always the “free spirit” so everyone including myself was very surprised when I ended up in a relationship. (I first started dating him when I was 16, we ended it when I was maybe 20, then two years without him and back at it again for a couple years) But I loved him a lot and I wish him all the best. I have no angry feelings towards him. I wasn’t an angel either. Tho it didn’t have to end like it did.

to build a home💔

pairing : widower!max verstappen x fem!reader, single father!max verstappen

summary : after losing his wife elena to a freak accident, the only thing max and his three kids, sophia, gianna and noa have left to remember their wife and mum are the photos that are pictured around their new home that they built after the loss.

warnings :  just a lil sad, widower!max, crying, single father!max, some bad words, flashbacks, allusion to deceased wife's accident

a/n : apologises that i am once again throwing max through the emotional ringer but it was time i went back to another sad one. as always, flashbacks are in italics and present time is in the normal font and it'll be written in lowercase, we know the drill by now. 

f/c : kelly piquet for elena verstappen

max could feel his heart completely shatter in his body as the voice of the nurse speaking to him faded into white noise. a very high-pitched noise that almost brings him physical pain as he closes his eyes. his forehead creasing as he tries so hard to get that squeal out of his head. of course, this then worried the nurse who once again tried to get max's attention but with no avail due to the continous noise that made max feel as though his eyes were either on fire or bleeding. sophia, max's eldest daughter immediately knew what was going on and told the nurse that her dad was fine. he just needed to sit down for a little bit so the high-pitched frequency that plagued her dad could stop and to explain to him later.

"-doctor callahan, dad's fine, he just needs to sit down for a little bit. he's currently hearing a consistent high-pitched ringing noise which is why he hasn't been able to respond to you. whatever it is you need to tell our dad, maybe come back a little bit later or once he tells us that the noise is gone, we can come and grab you to tell us?" sophia proposed as doctor callahan nodded his head, trusting the pre-teen and left the verstappen family alone, the patriarch smiling at his eldest girl even with his eyes closed

mumbling, max thanked his girl in dutch, "dank je, sophia, dat hoefde je niet voor mij te doen," with one eye open, max grabbed for sophia's hand, happily taking it as the girl squeezed it tight as she was the only one awake, her two other siblings asleep thank you, sophia, you didn't need to do that for me

"of course, i didn't have to but, i wanted to dad. besides, i know how painful that consistent ringing in your head is and how hard it can be for you to concentrate and hear people. so, i just had to make doctor callahan aware of it and that you weren't ignoring him on purpose," sophia responded in english, shrugging her shoulders as her dad hugged his eldest girl as she smiled at her dad, hopeful in whatever the news was going to be in regards to their mum

max didn't respond to his daughter and closed his eyes again after taking a gulp of water, just hoping for the ringing in his head to fuck off so he could actually be aware of what was going on with his wife, elena. and what why she was all of a sudden in a hospital bed when she was only supposed to be on a seven-minute drive to the chinese restaurant to grab takeaway for the family. that was when sophia also decided it was probably a good time for her to also see if she could get some shut-eye as well. considering her younger siblings, sister gianna and brother noa had been asleep this entire interaction, max's sister, their aunty victoria watching over them. so, maybe it wouldn't be too bad if she tried to do it too.

🥀

it had felt like hours had passed when really, it was less than thirty minutes after sophia closed her eyes before she heard her dad and doctor callahan speaking about what happened to her and her siblings' mum. and, the moment sophia opened her eyes, rubbing them with her hands, noticing that her brother and sister were stil sleeping and how her dad's face contorted with worry and fear, sophia could tell that it wasn't good news that doctor callahan was sharing with her dad. however, doctor callahan was a little loud and, sophia heard the last part of the covnersation accidentally...

"...it doesn't look as though mrs verstappen will be waking up anytime soon, mr verstappen-"

"-what do you mean mum won't be waking up anytime soon? i...i thought last time you came by that you said she was doing fine! why did you lie to us?" sophia was fully awake as she stood up from the uncomfortable waiting room chair and walked over to her dad and the doctor who stood in shock at the 5'10 twelve year old who interrupted him

max with his widened and shocked eyes turned from his daughter to the doctor to his daughter again, "sophia! zeg dat niet! vooral nu je broer en zus nog slapen!" max silently scolded in dutch as the doctor smirked, attempting to calm both father and daughter down sophia! don't say that! especially whilst your brother and sister are still asleep

"there's no need for any apologises mr verstappen, sophia is well within her rights to react like that because she is right. the last time i came over, i did exactly, word for word, say that mrs verstappen would be fine and now all of a sudden i'm saying the opposite? it can be quite confusing for kids and pre-teens and it may seem as though i'm lying just to save face. but, in actuality sophia, the reason why i am now saying that your mum may not wake up is that, between the moment of when i originally told you to now, a lot has changed and it's concerning. especially when it did seem at first that everything was going to be okay to then find out that everything is not going to be okay..." doctor callahan trailed off with a worried look as that completely terrified max as well as his eldest girl

doctor callahan couldn't just leave them hanging like that so, he had to explain what he was going to say before he had been cut off by sophia, "...and, as i was saying before sophia cut me off earlier, because we don't think that mrs verstappen will be waking up anytime soon, we are having to think about having you guys prepare your final goodbyes because unfortunately we are not that confident in believing that she'll be strong enough to make it through another night without going into another cardiac arrest and coming out of it alive and perfectly healthy like she did in the ambulance on the way to us. so, when noa and gianna wake up, if you could all go in to say your final farewells to elena, we'll then see what happens after that. whether that is her flatlining on her own or us having to turn off the life support ourselves, we'll deal with it when it comes to that. but, right now, the most important thing for you and the kids rght now, max, is to say whatever it is you want and need to say to your wife and their mum," doctor callahan explains, max's heart breaking all over again whilst sophia felt like her entire body was breaking, not just her heart, she didn't want to lose her mum, that was her biggest fear coming true

with tears in her eyes, sophia turned to her dad and whimpered, "mum's gonna die?" sophia was twelve, 5'10 and finishing primary school

however, whenever something even remotely scary happened to her mum and dad and brother and sister, it always turned her into a scared little baby.

max had to fight against his own emotions to try to get his daughter to understand, "sadly, yes, she will, sophia. her body is unfortunately too weak and injured to stay alive. but right now, we need to take a couple of deep breaths in, don't worry about the tears, it's okay to cry baby. but, do try and stay calm and wake up noa and gia. i'll go and wake up your aunty victoria and then we can go into mum's room together and say goodbye to her, yeah?" max sniffled as sophia's lip trembled as she nodded her head, copying her dad as she took in a couple of deep breaths before walking over to her twin brother and younger sister to wake them up whilst max walked over to his sister, their aunty

listening to his own advice, max takes in a couple more deep breaths and tryng to centre himself as best as he could before he went to wake up his sister, victoria. the aunty of his three children and sister-in-law to his wife elena. his sister looked even smaller, her entire body curled against the wall, her arms loosely wrapped around her body as her head rested partly on her shoulder, her back slightly leaning off the chair. her shoulders rising up and down with her eyes closed peacefully. her hair was in messy braids, slightly wavy pieces of hair framing her face gorgeously as her manicured nails barely reaached each other. victoria's feet covered by red fluffy socks that max was absolutely certain where once his that she stole, her sneakers looking as though thet had been slipped off her feet whilst trying to get into a comfortable position, the very one she was in. max really had to hold his sobs back as he watched just how peaceful his sister was when she slept. she looked so calm and happy, clearly dreaming about her own kids, luka, lio and hailey due to the small smile that graced her lips with the accompanying soft snores that left her lips. the father really didn't want to take his sister up but, he knew he had to now that he could hear his three kids were now all awake, sophia successfully waking up noa and gianna without a problem as they waited for their dad to wake up their aunty victoria.

finally, after another deep breath, max managed to kneel down to the floor and softly shake victoria awake. even though he cringed at the sudden change in facial experession, it seemed to work.

victoria waking up and groaning, "max, what are you doing? why are you waking me up for...is elena okay?" the moment max gave the smallest hint that victoria's sister-in-law and her nieces and nephew's mum wouldn't be okay, the aunty was awake in an instant

unfolding herself from her seat, victoria asked her brother again, "is elena okay, max?" however, this time, she had more of a serious tone to her voice rather than a sleepy tone and max knew he couldn't lie to his sister

shaking his head, max shakily spoke up, "no vic, elena's not okay. we've been asked by doctor callahan to say our final goodbyes with the kids as he and the team don't think she'll survive another night if she was to go into another cardiac arrest..." max trailed off as he could tell immediately that victoria was shutting her mind down, putting on a mask so she could take care of her brother and her nieces and nephew as she nods her head

"...okay, where is she right now and where are sophia, noa and gia?" victoria questioned next, standing up straight and crossing her arms over in order to protect herself

"sophia went to wake them up and i presume they are either waiting for us just down the hall to walk over together or they are already at mum's hospital room waiting for us," max responded as victoria nodded her head as she walked in front of her older brother

but, before she did that, her facade cracked for a milisecond for max to see that his sister was truthfully terrified about the prospect of watching her brother losing his wife and the mother of their kids. victoria's crack in her facade quickly healed over and they continued walking. the brother and sister continued walking over to their wife/sister-in-law's hospital room not really knowing what to expect. and now they wished they were more prepared, including victoria who thought she had protected herself enough for this moment. not that she had ever visioned the moment her brother would lose his wife but, here she was about to do that very thing.

🥀

victoria couldn't continue keeping up her facade that she was strong and that she could handle the death of her brother's wife a year on. she really couldn't. she was a mum herself, to three beautiful kids of her own, two little boys luka and lio and a beautiful baby girl, hailey. she couldn't imagine how her older brother was feeling having to suddenly become a single father whilst she still was blessed enough to have her partner alive alongside her. and the one person victoria would go to when she was struggling about anything when she was struggling was her brother. the other person she'd go to was no longer alive and that was her sister-in-law, elena. so, the next best person was her brother max.

since it was late at night and she knew her brother would most likely still be awake, the rest of their kids (all six of them) would be asleep. she tried to be as quiet as possible and tip-toed all the way to her brother's bedroom where she knew her brother would still be awake after an e-motorsports stream.

the second he heard his door open, he knew it was victoria, "what's up vic? you can't sleep?" max questioned, about to turn around when he heard sniffles and small sobs that were clearly meant to be held back

however, it was the sniffles and unexpected small stifled sob that caught him off guard, causing max to stop everything he was doing, "victoria? you okay, sis?" he asks as he turns around to find out that his younger sister was in fact not okay

max's heart broke in the same way it did when he heard his wife flatline a year ago, "oh, vic, come here!" max whispered as he jumped off his bed and pulled his sobbing sister into his embrace and hugged her as tightly as he could

victoria cried and cried her eyes out in her brother's embrace, all the tears she had been holding back for an entire year at this point all to help max and his children get through their own grief. and she still felt like she would cry until the end of time at this rate. and no matter what he tried to do, max couldn't get his sister's cries to quieten down or stop and it broke his heart into pieces because he didn't know how to help his sister without his wife by his side and that hurt him the most. however, slowly but surely, victoria's cries started to subside and she started to breathe again which made max feel so much better and less like he couldn't help his sister anymore, which he could because he just did it then. he hadn't forgotten how to look after his younger sister, he never did, it was just elena was the one who had done it more when the two girls were away from max's races.

waiting for his sister to calm down a little bit more, max spoke up again, "you okay now, vic? do you wanna talk about it?" max truly felt like he was speaking to his sister as though they were kids again or how he'd comfort their kids as victoria nodded her head

sniffling, victoria spoke up, "i...i miss elena, max and i'm not okay. i can't sleep, i'm scared about losing my kids father, all six kids seem to be completely okay without their mum and aunty and i just, i don't know how to be strong for them anymore when they do tell me they miss their mum and aunty. i am so tired but i can't sleep yet that is all i want! i just want to sleep, maxie!" victoria cried out softly, her voice desperate at the end as max's shoulder sagged low

he had a feeling that his sister had been struggling with sleeping for a while but never realised it was this bad until now. even when luka and lio were babies, hailey currently still an infant, victoria never struggled this much to fall asleep yet now she was.

"why can't you sleep, vic? what's stopping you? it's definitely not the kids," max sincerely wondered as victoria wiped her tears away, taking in a sharp breath before responding

"every time i close my eyes, i dream about elena. every single time, it's the moment in which i walk past elena's room and i hear her flatline and hear you completely lose it whilst sophia desperately tries to pick up gia and hug noa close to her whilst i run in to grab lio and luka, yelling at sophia to take all three of them out of the room so none of them would be watching any longer whilst you were just on your knees crying whilst elena just continued to flatline. the doctors not able to do anything to stop it..." victoria trailed off as her lip trembled as max held his sister's hand tight as he sighed softly, wishing he could take away his sister's pain and recurring nightmare of that night a year ago

that wasn't something his sister or any of the six kids the brother and sister shared between them needed to see or be reminded of every single day and night. but, unfortunately, his sister was and had been for the entire year. sighing, max shuffled over in his bed so his sister could sleep with him for the night. victoria's partner taking care of the kids downstairs hence why he wasn't assisting. even though it seemed hard at first, max knew his sister would need sleep since the next day would be a big day for her and her kids and she needed all the sleep she could possibly get.

victoria noticed what her brother was doing and questioned him, "what are you doing, max? aren't you still working and on the phone with horner?" victoria questioned as max smiled at his sister

shaking his head, max opened his arm out for his sister to lay next to, "no vic, christian and i are finished for the night, we were just catching up and touching base to see how each other were doing. and what i am doing is inviting you to sleep in here with me tonight, just like when we were kids. you can't be alone and with your partner dealing with the kids, he'll be busy the entire time. you have a huge day tomorrow with the kids and i want to make sure you get an adequate amount of sleep tonight. even if you do have that nightmare, i'll be right here next to you to remind you that you are okay and that your brother is right here, okay?" max convinced victoria to stay and sleep alongside him as she nodded her head and shuffled underneath the covers of her dad's bedsheets and immediately closed her eyes, snuggling near to her brother

and immediately, her brain went to that night that would forever haunt her dreams. the moment she would close her eyes, she knew that memory would come back to haunt her mind.

🥀

the kids of the verstappen siblings, sophia, noa, gianna, luka and lio had just said their final goodbyes to their mum and aunty as had their dad and uncle, max. max and the kids stayed in the hospital room with their dad and uncle whilst his sister victoria and baby hailey had gone to the hospital's cafeteria to grab their brother/uncle max some red bull, apple juice for the kids and a coffee for herself. when all of a sudden, the worst ever sound to come from a hospital room started to obnoxiously blare out of elena verstappen's hospital room, the emotional breakdown of the verstappen's following shortly afterwards.

"no, no, no!" victoria whispered, immediately dropping the drinks she had brought for the family, whilst magically still holding tightly to her little girl hailey as she only hoped that none of the kids, hers and max's were still in room whilst it happened

and unfortunately, as she rushed in, completely ignoring the hospital staff attempting to push her out of the hospital room, she forced herself to grab luka and lio, thankful she had dropped baby hailey off to her children's dad. yelling at her niece, sophia to grab noa and gianna and take them out of the hospital room

the aunty then started at sophia, the eldest, to get the younger two out of the hospital room, "sophia, get noa and gianna out of here now!" sophia frantically nods her head as she grabs her twin brother and younger sister, the three siblings stumbling out of their mum's hospital room within seconds as they watched their dad on his knees, his soul leaving with his heaving sobs

even though all of the five of six kids, including victoria, were out of the hospital room, they could still hear the flatlining of their mum and aunty. as though it was taunting them that it was true, their mum/wife/aunty/sister-in-law was no longer alive anymore. sophia hugged her brother and sister close whilst victoria hugged her two little boys before bringing in her brother's three kids. all of their eyes screwed tightly shut as they were held close to their mum and aunty victoria. all the while aunty victoria watched as the hospital staff struggled in turning off that dreadful life support machine whilst the sounds of her brother and dad of her nieces and nephew weeping, his body hunched over, played in her mind like a broken record on repeat over and over again.

silence had finally come to the verstappen's when the nurses finally got the life support to turn off but, that didn't mean that their dad/uncle/brother's cries stopped. hearing that machine be turned off even though it was loud and invasive, broke his heart even more now that it was just pure silecne. the only other thing being heard was max's wails.

then, finally came a squeaky, sniffly voice, "mummy's said bye?" victoria thought she was going to puke because of how upsetting hearing her niece gianna say that statement was

"yeah, she did bubba, she said bye-bye," aunty victoria confirmed as gianna just muttered an even more heartbreaking, "oh well then, bye-bye mummy,"

even though gianna was six years old and very bright for her age, she was still very innocent and wasn't very understanding and knowledgeable in a lot of things. and, it worried victoria that after losing their mum, not only gia but sophia and noa would be forced to lose their innocence and suddenly become very understanding and knowledgeable in things they shouldn't be when they should still be children.

so, at this point, victoria could only pray that her nieces and nephew wouldn't lose all of their childlike innocence and that her family, her brother specifically, wouldn't crumble to the floor after this devastating and premature loss.

🥀

max helped his younger sister fall asleep and, it seemed as if sleeping next to her brother was the one thing that would help her get rid of those nightmares. and in this momment, that was all max and victoria needed and only hoped for considering max wanted to make sure his sister didn't let this grief judge how she takes care of her own children. that was until another flashback took the brother and sister back to that frightful evening one year ago

🥀

victoria held her nieces and nephew tightly as her brother's wails continued through the early evening until her mum, sophie, walked over, "vic, give the kids to me, i know you've been wanting to let daniel, lando and charles know. i will take care of sophia, noa and gia, you ring them and ask if they could get here quickly. i don't think max's crying will end any time soon and he needs to be taken care of and comforted as well," sophie muttered as victoria felt her shoulders release, in thankfulness handing over her brother's kids to their grandmother before kissing her mum's head

the verstappen sister then rushes further down the hallway to ring her brother's f1 teammates that she knew were currently in monaco. ringing up daniel first, knowing that he'd be the best option to comfort her brother, then charles next with lando last.

danny

"hey vic, how's everything going? are you guys still at the hospital with elena?"

"that's why i'm ringing you, danny... elena's flat...she's... she's not here anymore"

"oh, vic, i am so sorry! i...is max okay? do...do you need me to drive over?"

"could you, please? he's an absolute mess, danny, he hasn't stopped crying since and i'm kind of on autopilot, as is mum and my partner trying to take care of all the kids"

"of course, i can darling! i'll be right over. are you going to call charles and lando next?"

"mhm, that was my plan too, yes. and please hurry, i feel like max is going to be sick if he keeps on crying"

"i'm in my car vic, i won't be longer than fifteen minutes. hang up and ring charles and lando,"

"okay, bye danny"

"bye hun, see you soon!"

charles

"oh, hello victoria, is everything okay at the hospital? is your sister-in-law doing okay?"

"no, she...she's...charles, please just get to the hospital, i...i need you here, please!"

"okay, i'm on my way, hun. have you called danny to tell him?"

"mhm, i just got off the phone with him and after you, i'm ringing lando!"

"okay, good job. umm, crap, okay, stupid question but how's your brother and the kids? are they okay?" 

"max hasn't stopped crying since and it seems as though right now, all the kids are okay and are preoccupied. mum had just taken max's three off me so i could ring you three." 

"good, but not good, shit, okay, umm, is there anything you want me to get for you? food? water? a jacket?"

"no, please just...just get here quickly, i...i just need you!" 

"okay, okay, that's okay, i'm on my way love. i won't be longer than ten minutes, i'm already in my car and i can see the hospital just down the road. you can hang up now hun and call lando!" 

"okay, bye"

"bye bye" 

lando

"victoria? what's up darl? is everything okay at the hospital with elena?"

"no...she's gone, lando, the thingy went crazy and it just..."

"...oh, vic, i'm on my way right now! did you call daniel and charles?"

"mhm, i just got off the phone with charles and rang daniel first..."

"...okay, i know charles asked you this and you said no but, do you want me to get you anything on the way since i'm literally just around the corner from a petrol station?" 

"umm, could you please get one redbull for max, one coffee for me and three apple juices for max's three? my kids don't need anything. i was coming back from the hospital cfeteria with them when it happened and i dropped them and i-"

"-of course, i can, darl. don't need to justify it! i'll happily buy them! i'll also buy a couple of sandwiches because it seems as though none of you has had anything sustainable to eat!" 

"thank you lando!" 

"it's nothing at all, victoria! i'll see you soon darling! you can hang up now hun"

"bye"

by the time victoria got off the phone with lando, she heard footsteps coming straight over to her. looking up from her phone, the relief she felt to see that it was daniel overhelmed her senses completely.

"...danny!" victoria whispered as she rushed over to the first of her brother's f1 teammates and closest friends that had arrived at the hospital 

pulling his unofficial sister in for a hug, daniel felt like he could have breath in his lungs, "oh my gosh, victoria, i'm so sorry hun! where's your brother?" daniel whispered as he hugged the flustered girl tightly, pulling back, his hands on her shoulders as she points to the room where max's distinct cries could still be heard 

the moment his former teammate's cries hit his ears, daniel could feel his heartbreak even more as he felt his own tears well in the back of his eyes, thanking the verstappen, he saw charles sprint down the hospital hallway to be at the side of his former rival and his kids who were his godchildren. daniel had then left to comfort the grieving husband whilst charles picked up his grieving nieces and hugged them tightly. sophie was the one comforting victoria as she only ever so tightly released some tears of her own on her mum's shoulder.

seeing the grief etched on the young kids faces only broke charles' heart more than the phone call from victoria did, "oh, come here sophia!" charles whispered as he gathered his goddaughter up in a hug as tears spilt down her cheeks to her godfather's shoulder

it was in this moment that sophie and victoria took that as their cue to grab the younger two, noa and gianna and take them out of the hospital room. so daniel and charles could take care of max and sophia whilst they awaited for lando to show up.

"she's not here anymore, uncle charlie!" little sophia weakly cried out as tears welled in charles' eyes as he shuddered, remembering the same feeling when he lost his dad to cancer in 2017

"i know baby, i'm so sorry!" charles just about whispered as he just wished he could take the pain from his goddaughter away and take it again so she and her siblings didn't have to 

"why did she have to leave me?" sophia questioned, all valid thoughts running through her head, as charles struggled to answer them because he was still wondering the same thing about his own deceased father 

"i don't know baby, i do not know!" charles whispered again as he hugged her as tightly as possible, taking her out of the hallway that he could see daniel comforting a still weeping max in elena's hospital room 

thankfully, just as charles and sophia were about to leave, lando came running through the hospital hallway with a bag of what could have only been the red bull, coffee, the apple juice and some other things like sandwiches and other bits and bobs which max, when he finally regained his composure, would religiously thank him for. 

opening up the hug to let lando in, sophia sighed another sigh of relief that all of her f1 uncles were here, "you're here uncle lando," sophia sighed with relief as lando nodded his head and hugged the girl tightly

"i'm here, hun. aunty victoria was adamant on making sure we were told!" lando whispered as he gave the girl a kiss on the head before deciding to ultimately give max his red bull and food first, his teammates piercing sobs hitting his ears instantly, breaking his heart before moving on to sophia's two siblings 

for the rest of the evening, charles took care of sophia, taking her back to his place, lando took care of noa and gia, taking him back to his place. whilst victoria and her mum sophie would go in between charles and lando to see how they were going with the kids. and daniel held max for the rest of the night as he continued to weep in the hospital room of his deceased wife. 

🥀

after max had helped victoria, his younger sister, go to sleep and stay asleep, they were up bright and breezy early all thanks to the kids, sophia, noa and gia jumping on top of their dad and aunty. the twins, sophia and noa were in their first year of high school whilst gia was in her fourth year of primary school. it was after dropping the kids off that max got an instagram notification indicating that his sister victoria had posted. and it seemed as if max knew exactly what it was that his sister had posted. then, it inspired him to also post to instagram about his wife afterwards.

victoriaverstappen all i ever wanted for my older brother was to have a home filled with love, support and joy. since the loss of his beautiful wife elena, i worry that those things have disappeared. elena was an amazing woman, she was quite honestly one of my best friends and i was so excited when max introduced her to me, mum and the rest of our family. it was an exciting time because none of us had ever seen max fall so far in love than he had with elena. then, watching them further their relationship with their engagement and then marriage to then watching them have children whilst me and my partner were also having our kids was incredible. max, your three kids are beautiful, sophia, noa and gia are lights that fill every single room and i have no doubts about who it is that is casting that light over them. elena loved you so much and she equally adored the life out of sophia, noa and gia. anything you need, max, to help you and the kids build that home again that's gone due to the loss of elena, i hope you know that i will do everything and anything i can do help you in doing that. but, in saying that, please do not forget that you are now the home for sophia, noa and gia and i know you will do everything you are physically able to to keep that home standing strong. i love you so much, max and we all miss elena and we'll do everything we can to make sure she is never forgotten 🤍

maxverstappen1 my wife elena was the best mother to our three children, sophia, noa and gia and it breaks my heart every single day that she isn't here to continue to see what amazing children the both of us had equal parts in creating and bringing into this world. on top of being a fantastic mother, she was an even better wife and was always making sure she'd keep to her vows, wanting to make sure she didn't do any less than others or any more than others. that day that elena flatlined in the hospital one year ago will forever be the worst day of my life but it did make me appreciate my three kids even more. thankful that it wasn't one of them that had gone in the car with my wife because if i had lost any of my three kids alongside my wife, i would have rather offed myself then live with the fact that i could have potentially buried one of our children alongside their mum way before they were supposed to be. every single thing i did was always for my wife and our children so i could build us a home that was full of love, safety and joy. and it still is, except, it'll take a long time for it to go back to the way it used to be. if only i could have the blessing of seeing my wife just once more, i'd want her to tell me that she's proud of us, the kids and myself. i just hope that i'm taking care of my children in a way that elena is proud of, even though i may stumble and fall, i still hope she can see that i'm trying my hardest in keeping our kids happy and helping then when they're upset and trying to understand what's happened to our family and our home. i thought that losing my wife would be like my parents' divorce and that i'd be prepared for it but, i was never more wrong in my entire life. i didn't understand why the loss of my wife hurt more than any other death that i'd have to go through in my life. at the time, i didn't realise there was a reason why the loss of my wife hurt worse than the divorce of my parents. and then, i realised, remembering that whilst i still have both parents but they're just no longer married, at some point in their life together, they loved one another and losing that love was painful for them. and it wasn't until i went through the loss of my wife permanently that it was the same pain that my mum went through after she and dad had their divorce. and it wasn't until i went through it myself one year ago that i finally understood why the loss of my wife hurts a million times more than my parents' divorce. i love you so much elena and we miss you every single day. i just hope you're smiling down on me and the kids right now 🤍

fin

what a shock, yet another depressing max verstappen one-shot, how predictiable right? this was actually meant to be the filler one-shot before charles' big one but, i didn't finish this one in time hence why i decided to quickly fix up that esteban one-shot that was just a sweet little smau!

hi folks, it really pains me to have to make this kind of post, but

two of my family members were killed in a drunk driving incident three days ago -- one was a child, it was in a residential zone, the person was speeding 50 miles over. other children in front of the nearby school saw, because it was in broad daylight at pickup time.

it's been profoundly devastating for my family, and i'd really appreciate whatever support we can get for the funeral expenses and living costs. reblogs, money, anything is appreciated.

[fizzytoo]

i need to see someone about this driving anxiety. it’s starting to get worse and it’s really effecting my life

I had my first bass guitar lesson yesterday. it was lots of fun a friend is teaching me and she's really nice so I'm excited to learn and practice and stuff. The first bassline I'm learning is Evil by Interpol because I like it and thought it would be fun.

I got into a car accident. Yes, I'm still alive somewhat.

Actually happened this past Monday on New Years Day, that's why I didn't post the drawings.

I'm fine, same goes for my family, just a girl's day that turned into internal bruising for the family and I, and a broken rib for my mother🥲
