AN: sorry it's been so long between updates, it's a busy time of year, but I've got a double update comingggggg:)

As always thank you for the love, reads and comments❤️❤️

Pierre sat on the balcony of the house he normally stayed in Monaco, he hoped Nola was coming back and would ring him, but he had heard nothing, he wasn't even sure when or if she was coming back and he was worried because time was running out, he would have to leave for England soon. He sighed and scrolled through his phone, she hadn't even posted anything on her Instagram, which was strange for her, she always kept up with content and posted. It's like she had disappeared, Pierre looked at the last couple of posts she had put on in Canada, before everything blew up, when he heard a car engine rev and pull onto the driveway.

He recognised the car straight away, Nola's Ferrari was unmistakable. Pierre went downstairs quickly and to the front door and pulled it open as Nola walked up the steps towards the door. He wanted to hug her, kiss her, pull inside and never let her leave, but he held himself back. As far as she had said the other day, they were done. Pierre no longer had his girl. His heart broke all over again at the thought, and at seeing her. He didn't know whether he was elated to see her finally, or fearful of what might come next.

"Hey" Nola whispered

"Hey" Pierre replied. It had never been this awkward between them. Ever, Pierre hated it. Nola hated it even more, Nola finally looked up at him and he felt his heart skip, those green eyes. She still didn't look okay, she looked pale and sick, better than the other day, stronger slightly but not Nola. She wore her glasses which was unusual for her, her hair tied up in a ponytail, again unusual. She only ever really put her hair up when she was working out. The tracksuit she wore was oversized and it made her look small, tiny even. She looked good though, she always did. Nola wanted nothing more than to launch herself at Pierre and kiss him, she knew she missed him, but until laying her eyes on him, until being stood in front of him and finally allowing herself to think about him, she realised just how much she missed him, how much she loved him. The silence was getting rather uncomfortable for Pierre, he wasn't sure what she was thinking.

"We should probably talk" Nola whispered. Pierre nodded and turned around quickly. He got a bottle of water for Nola and gave it to her, she avoided the sofa and sat on the chair instead.

"Do you want to say anything?" Pierre asked

"Do you?" Nola replied, she raised her eyebrows at him and he sighed

"Don't get argumentative already Nola" Pierre spoke

"I'm not" she sighed, this already wasn't going well, "you can explain first" Nola shrugged and sipped her water. Pierre spoke a little, then Nola explained, he asked her about everything with her medication and her therapy and her job. Nola told him also about Italy, and then going to see Lando, which was a mistake because Pierre did not take kindly to that.

"You went to see him? Again?"

"He's my friend Pierre" Nola sighed

"A friend, you see him all the time, you called him instead of me, you were seen with him looking cosy, what else?"

"What else? Maybe the fact that at a time I felt my absolutely lowest and loneliest he was there, when every single person I loved was against me, he wasn't. Because he's hugged me when I've cried, laughed with me, been there for me. Because when I needed space from you and from my brother he was the only person I could manage to speak to, because when I stepped back into Monaco he was the first person there to make sure I was okay, because he helps me, because he convinced me to sort this whole mess out, because apart from this morning with my brother and freya he is the only one that's actually asked if I'm okay, I am on bloody medication! I am lost, I am broken, and all you care about is if I've seen Lando. While he cares if I'm okay and if I fix this with you"

"If he's so great then maybe you should just be with him!" Pierre yelled. It wasn't good, they were both as stubborn and as hot headed as each other

"Maybe I should!" Nola yelled back, as soon as the words left her mouth she regretted them instantly

"What did you just say?" Pierre questioned, his tone was cold but he was quieter

"I didn't mean that and you know it"

"But you said it"

"You have got to get over this! You waited for me and liked me for how long for this? To be so jealous, and hurt me like this and then try and act like me being friends with someone is a big deal. Charles trusts him, I trust him, why can't you?"

"Nola" he looked vulnerable, and sad

"What?"

"I do trust him, I do trust you" Pierre mumbled

"No you don't"

"I do" Pierre walked towards where Nola was, she was now standing, not sitting. She was angry

"Stop" Nola held her hand up in front of her and Pierre stopped in his tracks

"I do care about you, I want you to be okay"

"You told me I wasn't as strong as I thought, you said that" Nola felt the tears well up in her eyes, Pierre could see the hurt on her face. "The person I love most in this world, the person I trust most, the person I rely on most, the one who isn't meant to hurt me, is the same one that made me feel like nothing" he knew what he had done. He had wracked his brain for days knowing it was what he said that started this, but he couldn't understand how it unravelled so fast, now he knew. He knew why it was Lando she called, he knew why she didn't turn to him, he was the one that said it after all, but Nola wasn't done yet.

"And then, you spoke to me like nothing. You were cold and rude, not even caring for my explanation. You tried to act like it was all fine in front of cameras, to play pretend, not once, did you ask if I was okay" Nola was broken all over again, she slumped back down in the chair. "The person you love most, the one you allow to see at your most vulnerable, takes that and uses your weakness against you and doesn't even hear you out" Nola was truly done. She cried into her hands. Pierre walked over, he didn't care if she pushed him away, he put his arms around her as he kneeled in front of her, she leaned against him and sobbed, he rocked her gently, tears falling from his own eyes.

"I was angry because you turned to someone else, I want to be the one to make sure you're okay, the one you come to, but I know why now. Because I was the one to hurt you, and I'm sorry, I shouldn't of done that, I'm so so sorry Nola, you're the love of my life and I don't want to lose you, I'm so sorry" Pierre spoke, he mumbled into Nola's hair, she listened to him but didn't respond, trying to calm herself down in the process.
