Nola is the younger sister of Monégasque formula one driver Charles.
Being close to her older brother means she now travels the world with him as he races in a Ferrari car, delve into the rollercoaster of events, emotions and trials of Nola.
Nola was feeling good today, she had settled down and felt like she was finally adjusting to her tablets, her therapy had gone well and really helped, she saw the therapist this morning before their flight to England. Nola had actually never been to England before, it was going to be interesting. Pierre had already made a promise to show Nola around London, if she was up for it. Nola tried to push the anxiety away of being in a new place and surrounded by so many people, particularly when they would get to the weekend.
Pierre boarded the plane, ahead of Nola, carrying her bag for her. Charles, Max, Lando, Alex and Daniel were all on the plane with them. She waved at the group and smiled
"Long time no see!" Daniel yelled out from his seat next to Max, Nola smiled at him
"We missed you!" Max added on
"I'm the VIP" Nola joked, gulping down her sadness and trying to act okay
"Yes you are!" Daniel said, Nola sat in front of him and they fistbumped when she got to her seat, sitting with Lando, Pierre had sat down with Charles and Alex. Lando smiled at her, they hadn't seen each other since she spent the night at his house and then went for a run, but they had spoken everyday. Nola had told Charles, Pierre and Lando to not mention anything about what had happened and what Nola was currently doing, for example the medication, she didn't think it was worth conversation and she wanted to be happy and feel normal, and having people tip toe around her was depressing.
"Are we team Ferrari this week or team Alpha Tauri?" Lando asked
"Should be team McLaren, we're the English team" Daniel joked
"So are we" Alex yelled
"You don't have a British driver though?" Lando laughed and then smirked because he was the British driver
"That would be a sight if I suddenly was McLaren, I'm still not a fan of the orange though" Nola sighed "what do you want me to do, just hang with the team who's race it is?" She continued
"That's not fair in the slightest, we're best friends" Lando whined. Nola rolled her eyes and glanced at Pierre, she was worried he would be annoyed or offended if Nola spent time with Lando, but he chose to sit with Charles and Alex, leaving the available seat left with Lando, but Pierre just laughed along with Lando
"What will it take to convince you to come to the dark side?" Daniel asked
"Hmmm, new trainers, some very expensive wine, a spa day and I don't know.. maybe a side of no morals" Nola joked, making the guys laugh
"I could sort the wine and the trainers" Daniel laughed
"I'll buy the spa day trip" Lando added. Nola rolled her eyes. Nola's phone buzzed on her lap and she picked it up and saw a message from Pierre; I love you, Nola then looked up at him and he smiled at her, it made her blush a little. Nola was definitely feeling more content, happier and care free now. Back in the swing of things with everyone here, they definitely distracted her with their silly conversations. Nola listened in on the various chats on the plane, just general boys chat, she replied a few times but otherwise she sat on her phone scrolling through social media, it was the first time she had done so in a while, since the post about her and Lando. There was a few comments on her post of her and Pierre asking where she was and if she was okay, from people she didn't even know, it made her smile.

Landing in London the weather wasn't as miserable as Nola thought it would. Daniel and Lando were heading straight to the McLaren base in Surrey, Max to Milton Keynes and Alex to Oxfordshire. Charles was heading straight to the hotel in Northamptonshire which was near the track, Pierre and Nola were staying in a hotel in London for the night to chill out and spend some time together before they headed to their separate hotels, Pierre was in a different one to Nola and the Ferrari team, but they were near each other anyway.
"I've got a few things planned" Pierre said as they got into the car, Pierre driving of course
"I only told you two days ago that I was even coming" Nola looked over at him
"Yep, I sorted it out" Pierre smiled, Nola was surprised
"So what are we doing?" She asked
"We're going shopping, then we've got dinner in a fancy nice restaurant, and then tomorrow we go to the zoo before we head to Northampton" Pierre spoke
"The zoo?" Nola was most excited about that one
"Yep, the zoo" he confirmed, he placed his hand on Nola's as they drove, she was very happy. The car they were in was quite nice to, of course it was flashy and sporty, that was Pierre all over. Nola looked out the window, the sun was out and London so far looked good.
The day flew by, Nola felt so happy. She walked around London with Pierre, they shopped, laughed, ate. He kept asking if Nola was okay, checking in. Checking if she wanted to stop, sit down, sleep. He knew how exhausted she got at the moment, and he wanted to keep her as happy as he could and let her enjoy herself. Being in London, it wasn't as hectic with fans and people thankfully, it almost felt like Nola was normal, Pierre was normal. Of course he was more know than she was, but it was nice. Nola looked at some trainers in the shop and Pierre hovered around.
"These are beautiful" Nola gasped, she picked up the trainer from the shelf, some light blue and white Nike dunk trainers. Pierre chuckled "what's funny? Not nice or?"
"No they're very very nice, I have an identical pair" Pierre spoke
"You have these???" Nola smiled
"I do"
"Well then Mr Gasly, it appears we have the same taste"
"The best taste" Pierre smiled, he took the shoe off of Nola and handed it to the shop assistant near by, and asked for Nola's shoe size
"I guess I'm getting those" Nola laughed
"You are. You know I always used to joke with my friends that if I couldn't get you, I always wanted to find a girl that had the same most amazing style and dress sense as me, that just knew and went with it, was creative and out there" Pierre said as the lady came back with Nola's shoes, Nola sat down to try them on just to make sure
"Do I pass the test or are you still hoping to find that girl?" Nola asked
"Nope, I've got the girl I wanted AND the style" Pierre kissed the top of Nola's head. She chuckled, and stood up after putting her own shoes back on
"Well, glad to be here" Nola reached up and kissed Pierre's cheek "you always look good though" She smiled and walked towards the desk to pay for her trainers, she rarely dropped so much money on one item, but she thought why not. She smiled as Pierre wrapped her arms around her waist as they waited in the queue.
"Was Paris good?" Nola asked
"Really good, was a bit miserable though" he whispered
"You looked good" Nola hummed
"Thank you, just wish you were there" he said. Nola felt guilty instantly but was preoccupied when she was next in line to pay. Then Pierre pushed Nola's card away and tapped his card on the machine, it beeped and Nola was handed the bag with the shoes "Pierre" Nola said as he took the bag from her to hold and then took her hand with the other hand
"What?"
"Why did you do that?" Nola asked him as they left the shop
"Because I can, you said you wanted new trainers" he smiled and kissed her head
"That's not fair, I can pay for it myself"
"I know you could, but you don't need to. That's my job" he smiled "let's head back, change for dinner?" He asked
"Sounds good to me. This isn't over though" Nola sighed
"Yeah it is, I told you, I want to give you everything, spoil you, make sure you never have to worry about things"
