It Started with a Song || charles leclerc

Too late to start over

Max and Charles arrive at the hospital and go straight to Lando who can see the worry on their faces.
L: "It's okay, they're just checking her, she's in the room there down the hall. They said she's fine but just needs to rest."
M: "Where was she?"
L: "I found her on the sidewalk outside the main hotel. She couldn't tell me what happened but she... you should go to her."

Charles walked quickly down the hall without needing another word from Lando. When he got there he saw her:

He stepped closer and noticed bruising around her neck and on her arms... he broke down at this sight, Max came in behind him.

C: "It's my fault, this is all my fault."
M: "Mate... you don't even know what happened."
C: "No Max. I don't need to but she wouldn't have been on the street if it weren't for me. I chased her away, I said stupid things to her, I didn't trust her. I-"
Y/n: "Charles is that you?"

He turned and saw y/n sitting up slightly, she looked tired but okay.

C: "Y/n, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault I should've never said those things, I should've listened. I should've explained myself sooner."
Y/n: "Charles, look at me... Please."

He looked up in her eyes sitting down next to her bed. She took his hand.

Y/n: "This- this isn't your fault. We both deserve an explanation and a chance to explain but this isn't your fault at all."
C: "But had I not said those things, had I listened-"
Y/n: "As mad as I was at you, I was more heartbroken about having lost you..."
C: "You never lost me, y/n. You never will."
Y/n: "is it too late to ask to start over? Let's explain everything because Charles I do love you."
C: "I'd like that... I love you so much, y/n."

So Max and Lando left and Y/n explained everything about Marc and Charles cleared up all the Jess rumors. Eventually Charles let next to her and they fell asleep holding each other, and for the first time y/n felt safe. Safe from Marc, safe from pain and safe from everything...
