Molly

Today we fly out to China for the GP in Shanghai. I'm sat next to George on our flight and I can't stop my leg bouncing up and down, I'm worried that I'm going to see James and I'm not sure how I will react if I do. "George I've given you Thursday evening off as requested, is Seychelle joining us?" He grins "she will be!" I smack his arm "it took you long enough to get together! Nyck and I had bets for years on when you would get together" he rolls his eyes "look we took our time and it's worth it" I smile "I'm really happy for you George, I shall sort out paddock passes for her" he thanks me and we finalise his schedule for this weekend.

We land in China and I feel my stomach twist, I can't wait to find Charles and settle in the safety of our hotel. Being in the paddock is going to worry me all weekend, I've let Charles know how I'm feeling but there isn't anything anyone can do to help me. George shields me as we walk through the airport "ready to get to the hotel Squirt?" He asks "more than ready" he leads me to a team car and we head off. Once we arrive I check myself and Charles in ready for his arrival. His flight is landing in around 3 hours and I'm really hoping Lando is already here, I pull out my phone and shoot him a message

Hey Lands, you at the hotel?

I wait a few minutes and see that he is typing

I am, you want some company?

I quickly respond yes and send my room number. 5 minutes later there is a knock on my door "Hey Mols" he greets me straight away and pulls me into a hug "Lands I'm scared" he looks straight into my eyes "we will look out for you all weekend" he tried to reassure me "I'm just scared of him Lands, I never thought he would be back" he shakes his head "me either Mols, shall we watch a movie?" I force a smile "sure Charles won't be here for about 3 more hours" he rolls his eyes "you miss him too much" I laugh "is there such an issue?" He giggles whilst picking a movie on my laptop.

I must have fallen asleep as I wake up hearing voices in the room "She isn't okay mate, I've tried to distract her but she is scared. She hasn't had to face him since it happened" I keep my eyes closed "I don't know how to help her" I feel Charles run his fingers through my hair "I just want to keep her safe" I try to keep my breathing even "we will Charles, none of us will let anything happen to her" I decide then to stretch out and wake up "mon amour" I hear Charles and turn my head to see him "Lechair!" He rolls his eyes "I was about to say it is good to see you but now I'm not so sure" he pokes my side earning him a giggle from me. I look around for Lando and spot him sat by my feet "Thanks Lands" he smiles "always here, good if I go? It's getting late?" I nod my head "see you tomorrow" he grins at me "sleep well guys!" Charles thanks him and he lets himself out. He turns to me "I'm sorry I had to go to Maranello" he tells me and I shake my head "don't be silly" he smiles "I've just missed you"

Media day

Today is the day I will spend mainly around the paddock. The rest of the weekend I plan on hiding in the garage and only being in the media pen. I've met George outside the gates and I walk in with him and Charles "when does Seychelle arrive?" I ask "4pm why?" I grin "I will make sure she gets collected from the airport" he thanks me "you guys are finally together?" Charles asks raising his eyebrows "we are!" Charles gives him a high five "congrats mate! We've all been waiting for it to happen!" He rolls his eyes "like you and Mols are ones to talk" and Charles shrugs his shoulders. We have made it to Williams and I'm glad to have not seen him.

We are coming out of the press conference as we are always first in. Kimi walks over "Molly! How have you been?" I smile up at him "Hey Kimi, it's been okay! How's the car?" He smiles "it's been better than last season but you know this is just my hobby!" I laugh as George stands by my side "Hello Kimi" he looks at him "Hi Russell, glad to have your media done?" He nods "no one hates it as much as you Kimi!" And this actually causes the iceman to laugh "see you both around the paddock" he pops his hand on my shoulder before walking into the conference room. George nudges me forwards "come on Squirt, I've got a girlfriend to see" he rushes me towards Williams hospitality where she is waiting for him. Once he spots her through the glass and runs inside, I start to follow shaking my head "Molly?" I freeze knowing the voice immediately and I turn slowly. There he is stood in a shirt and smart trousers. My stomach churns "it's good to see you, how have you been?" He starts a casual conversation approaching me closer "I've been great, didn't think I would see you again" I say whilst trying to make eye contact with George but he is wrapped up in his girlfriend. I start panicking as he puts his hand on my elbow "shall we go talk?" I shake my head "I don't want to go anywhere with you" I tell him and he laughs "come on let's not make a scene" he forces me forwards and down the side of the building. A sense of dread washes over me as I know the other boys are at the conference building.

I'm shaking as he leans against the wall holding my arm in place "now I know I left you quite dramatically but I'm back and we can be together" I burst out laughing "you ran away because you raped me and you didn't want to deal with the consequences" I growl through gritted teeth. He glares at me "you didn't object" and he smirks at me "because you drugged me" he gasps "I did no such thing" I start to back away "you are sick" he laughs "I now work closely with every F1 weekend, I will get you Molly" he lets go of my arm and I quickly walk away "Let Charles know he has competition" I start shaking and see one of George's engineers Mark at the back of the garage "Mark!" I shout and he looks up "can you walk with me back to hospitality?" I ask and I think he can see the fear on my race "oh sure, are you okay Molly?" I shake my head "can you help me find George?" He nods and walk me across the paddock. I can see James walking back down the paddock. I dash through the doors of the building. I see George instantly and walk straight over "George" my voice is shaking "Mols? Where have you been?" He spots Mark behind me "what's happening?" I start shaking "Mark? What's happened" he shrugs "she just asked me to walk her to you" George seems to have a wave of recognition "shit, did he speak to you?" He turns and asks me "he pulled me to the side of the building" George face palms "sorry Mols, I should've noticed you didn't follow me" I shake my head "I get it, I can't go through the paddock alone. He wants me George, he told me to let Charles know he has competition" George clenches his fists "I will deal with him once I seen him again." I shake my head "we can't make this worse, he will give up" he squeezes me shoulder "you know that isn't true" I do but I need to focus on something "I can't cope with him George" he pulls me in for a hug. It will all be okay!

Once I calm down and George heads off on his date with Seychelle I wait in the building for Charles. I called him as soon as he was finished in his press conference and he promised he would be here for me. I look out of the glass windows and see him walking towards the building before he is stopped by some fans. I smile at how lovely he is with them. He comes into the building eventually and sees me sat in the window "I'm so sorry Mon Amour" he tells me burying his face into my neck. I hug him hard. "You don't need to apologise, he knew when to catch me" he looks angry "what did he say to you?" He frown "he warned me that you have competition and that he is going to get me" his beautiful face contorts with anger "he isn't going to get away with this I promise you" I shake my head "I don't know how we can keep him away" he looks at me "I will protect you whatever it takes"
