Charles Leclerc - 128

Requested by: cosmicless

Please, don't make me choose...

All you had to do was stay, support him and everything you had wanted, dreamed of and needed would be yours... he was rich after all. However, you were living under a constant dualism. You loved Charles very much but also had dreams of your own and his career made it hard for you to follow your dreams and accomplish everything you had ever wished and hoped for.

He wanted you to stay, he needed you in Monaco, he wished you would be there to support him during every race weekend. But, in your world, that was all complicated. You wanted to go to Harvard, the Law Schools in Europe weren't what you wanted and needed. Harvard had been your dream school every since you were a little girl. You had managed to get an early admission, everything was going according to the plan that you and your sister had made since you were little.

You had met Charles around 2 years ago because you did a pre-grad in Monaco and met chance by pure coincidence. You were uninterested in Formula 1 which made him want to hang out more with you, to him, you were a breath of fresh air. He did hate all the attention after all. You liked his company and since you didn't know many people around, you didn't mind spending time with him.

At first you were just friends and didn't mind that he was out of time over half of the year or even more time. When you started dating he asked you to come to a couple more race weekends with him so you could spend more time together. When he wasn't around it was hard because you missed him but you didn't mind it either because it was the time in which you could focus on yourself and try to achieve everything you had planned.

You had to make decisions about your future, what you wanted to do with your life. You wanted yo do your grad education in Harvard, your parents were willing to pay for your degree. You had been dreaming about that for long enough, you loved the idea and law school in Harvard? Sounded super badass. However, you had one problem. You loved Charles, you had had so much fun in the last two years with him. You knew a long distance relationship was hard but you really wanted to try it out. You didn't want to let go of what you currently had, you considered him the love of your life.

He, however, didn't like the idea of you leaving. He wanted you to be with him, continue to go to races, attend parties with important people. He loved you as much as you loved him but, you knew he wanted you to be around all the time traveling and following him around. You were your own person, and tonight that same fight went too far.

"I want to leave Charles, I want to have my law degree. That's all I've ever dreamt about. You can't keep me around here. You know we can make it work, we love each other enough to make it work... You have to trust me Charles." You said almost begged. You didn't want him to make you choose in between your future and him, the love of your life.

"But I want you to stay. I could pay for your degree if you want, just stay here. Stay with me, all you have to do is stay. We can get married, our lives together is all I want, love. I think it's easier if we're close to each other, long distance relationships are too hard." He explained.

"Yes, but, we can make it work. It's us, we can make everything work." You said.

"Do you really want that? Not being able to see each other? Is Harvard really your dream? If it is, then choose, I'll let you go. There's one condition though, you go and we're over, or you stay and we stay together too." He threatened.

""Charles, please don't make me choose. We belong together, I know that. But this is my dream, this is what I have been working for all my life. It is not your decision to make it is mine, I know that. Nevertheless, I don't want to choose between my future and you because, I want you to be a part of my future. I need you there." You expressed with concern, you pleaded that it wouldn't end this way.

"I can't, this won't work out. I trust you, but it will be hard to be far away from you. I can't do this y/n, I'm very sorry darling." He apologized. You could see that it pained him but he was right, it was going to be hard not being able to see each other. It was going to be harder when he is traveling all the time and you're busy with class too.

"Then I'm leaving" You said with tears in your eyes.
