My eyes widen in panic and Charles' brows furrows in confusion.

We look to the side and I take a step back. I see Victor and Arthur march up to us.

"What the hell is this? Why the fuck are you kissing my sister? Back off" Victor shouts and shoved Charles back.

"Calm down, it's okay—""—Its not okay! He's a fucked up player, he hurts people" Victor exclaims and I look down in embarrassment.

"It's not like that—""—Am I talking to you? I don't think so, back off" Victor interrupts Charles.

"Mate, calm down. Why are you acting like this?" Arthur asks and try to put his hand on Victor's shoulder, but he shoves it off.

"I'm too sober for this" I mutter and all three turns to me and I realize I said it louder than I intended.

"Victor, come with me" I say and Victor glares at the two brothers before following me.

"It's true, Charles had a bad history with women, and I realize how naive this sounds, but it's not like that with him and I. We're dating" I tell him softly.

"Why would you do that to yourself?" Victor asks with a scrunched nose. I can't help but chuckle.

"I like him, he's sweet to me. He treats me well" I say with a small smile and halt and turn to my brother.

"It's okay, we got this. Okay? Don't worry" I say and Victor narrows his eyes at me as he eyes me up and down.

"Okay...just be careful" Victor says with a defeated sigh.

"I will. I'm sure about this" I say and he nods. He pulls me into a hug and I see Arthur and Charles lean against each other with a smile and I roll my eyes.

"We're gonna be brothers in law man!" Arthur shouts excitedly and I cringe.

"Oh god no" I say and a shiver runs down my spine.

"We're dating, we're not a couple yet. So you can calm down" Charles says as they walk up to us and Arthur frowns.

"Just get it over with, we're gonna be brothers in law!" Arthur cheers once again and nudge my brothers shoulder.

"Say that one more time, I swear to god I will ki—""—Alrighty, want to grab something to eat? All of us?" I interrupt and pat my brothers shoulder.

"Sure" Charles says and Arthur and Victor nods.

"You're my sister in law" Arthur cheers as he walks up to me and I laugh at him and shake my head.

"You Leclerc's are crazy. It must be genetic" I say and Victor snorts.

"Our handsomeness are genetic" Charles cuts in and I chuckle and accept the hand Charles held out for me to take.

He intervened our fingers and I smiled as he ran his thumb over the back of my hand.

We went to a restaurant, found a quiet table, and ordered delicious dinner.

Meanwhile as Charles and Victor started to get along, my phone buzzed. I pulled it out and saw a message from Lena.

My brows furrowed in confusion.

Lena:
The plane is leaving in one hour, are you coming with me?

"Excuse me" I say and get up and walk outside. I dial her number and she picks up immediately.

"Hey" Lena says softly.

"Hey, what's going on? Didn't you work it out?" I ask hurriedly and run a hand through my hair.

"I'm gonna need some time, I'm not mad at him, I just—I need some time before deciding if I go back to him, to trust him, to be in this" Lena says and my heart shatters.

"What? Are you really leaving?" I ask while starting to panic. I hadn't packed at all...

"Yes, it's okay, if you don't want to come with me, but I will go back to our apartment for a while, as I make up my mind" Lena says and I look back inside the restaurant.

I see Charles and Victor's eyes on me and I gulp.

"How long do you need?" I ask her and bite my lip before turning away from the windows.

"I don't know, it's a lot to be in. I didn't realize that things like this could actually happen...I-I need to think" Lena says and I nod.

"I'm so sorry" I say to her even though I had no fault in it.

"Don't be, it's gonna be okay, whatever choice I make, is going to be the right one" Lena says and I push back the tears.

The thought of Lena and Pierre not being together shattered my heart.

We had been a trio for years, and before that the three of us were best friends.

"Alright, can you pack for me? I'm coming with you" I say and instantly feel guilt build in my stomach.

"Are you sure? I don't blame you if you don't want to" Lena says and I hum.

"I couldn't possibly leave you now" I say and bid her goodbye.

I take a moment to myself and gather my nerves before going back into the restaurant.

"Charles, can you drive me back to the hotel?" I ask him, my eyes not meeting his.

"What's going on?" Victor asks and Arthur looks back and forth.

"Fuck" Charles mutters with a sigh before getting up. "It didn't work out?" He asks me and I shake my head.

"The plane leaves in an hour, I have to hurry" I say and grab my purse and coat.

"Is Lena okay?" Victor asks me worriedly. "No, she's not. We're going back to England for a while" I tell Victor and his eyes soften.

"Let me know if I can help" Victor says and I nod before hugging him.

"You two stay and have fun, Charles will be right back" I say and Charles scoffs at my response.

"Bye, Art" I say and hug Arthur goodbye. His confusion was plastered across his face and didn't have a chance to hide it.

Charles followed me outside and to his Ferrari and I feared the conversation coming up in the car.

We get in and I try to stop my hands from shaking. I curse under my breath as Charles pull out of the parking lot.

"Alright, explain" Charles says as we're on the road.

"Lena and Pierre didn't work it out. She says she's not mad, but she needs time to find out what she wants, she hadn't seen it coming that this could ever happen to her and Pierre. She needs time to think" I tell him and I can't help but feel affected by the situation so much.

"Fucking hell" Charles curses and speeds up.

"So, you're leaving me? This is our last time to spend?" Charles asks and I swallow the hard lump in my throat.

"Yes" I say and can't look at him. "For how long? I want an answer, I can't let you leave without letting me know" Charles says softly.

His hand rests on my thigh and he looks at me. I make the mistake of locking eyes with him and he sees the tears in my eyes.

"It will be okay, I will wait for you, Daniella. That's not the issue, I just want to know how long till I see you again" Charles assured me and I bite my lip to push down the sob threatening to release.

"Only two weeks, max, I need content for the Mercedes team, I have enough for now and the content I need can be send to me from the races, but I will need to step in, in two weeks max" I say and he nods slowly.

"Two weeks it is then" Charles says and I nod shortly, before looking ahead once again.

Within minutes we arrive at the hotel and I got out. I didn't expect Charles to follow me, but he did.

"What are you doing?" I ask confused as he walks up behind me.

"I'm not gonna let you leave without a proper goodbye" Charles says in a duh tone.

"I checked out of our rooms, the cab is here" Lena suddenly comes into my view and all our bags as well.

I feel myself stressing even more, I didn't expect her to be downstairs already. We hadn't even gotten through the entrance of the hotel, we were still outside.

Pierre stood beside her with a sad face and I felt myself breaking in half at the scene.

Charles held my hand and squeezed it. I pulled away and hug Pierre tightly and he sobs in my shoulder.

"I'm so sorry, take care of her. Be safe both of you" Pierre says and I nod.

I can't fight the tears anymore and I sob. Lena and Charles hugged as well.

I Pierre pulls away and Lena walks up to him slowly and Charles pull me into his side.

Lena and Pierre hugs and share a long kiss. This could be the last time Lena and Pierre saw each other.

Charles turns to me and caress my cheek. He wipes the tears away and press a kiss to the where they were seconds before.

"Let me know when you arrive, get there safely" Charles says and I nod.

"I'm sorry" I say and more tears stream down. "Don't cry, it will be okay" Charles assured me and pecks my lips softly.

I kiss him, one las time for the next two weeks.

"We need to go" Lena says with a sniffle. I pull away from Charles and he slumps his shoulders in defeat.

"Please, come back to me" Pierre sobs and Charles put his hands in his pockets and watch as we leave.

Lena pulls me into the cab and I feel myself wanting to run back out to him.

"To the airport" Lena says and the cab takes off, I look down and Lena pulls me into her side.
