Mon Amour ~ C.L.

Chapter 4.

It was Sunday and it was race day. I was beaming with excitement to witness my first ever formula 1 race in person. Ollie and my dad kept in touch, always checking up on me. They knew I never really travelled much. My mother never let me.

We sat down in the garage as the drivers were getting ready, I caught eyes with Charles again. He was so mesmerising but it creeped me out how much we had noticed each other and how he would stare at me until he was snapped out of his trance. I doubted myself, I could never speak to him! I never had the courage! I was there to see the grand prix not to be staring at some guy. I soon broke out of my thoughts when I heard the car leave the garage, it was soon go time. I got my headphones on and was really excited to see the action.

Skip ahead to a few months later. I realised I had fallen for thing guy who works at this coffee shop with me. He soon asked me out and I was basically in love, so we moved in together. His name was Noah. We did everything together, like go on dates, travel, work...I believed we would last for eternity. Ollie knew all about him, he was so happy for me. I was basically living my best life.

"I'd like to order the best person in the world" I looked up to my childhood best friend, I didn't realise he was back. I dropped everything, ran around the counter and jumped into his arms as he spun me around. He put me down and I was smiling in disbelief "you didn't tell me you were coming!" I said hitting his chest "surprise then!" He said and I just looked at him. "Noah, baby, can you take over for me?" "Sure" my boyfriend replied blankly, I shrugged it off and took my apron off to put it to the side. I sat in an empty booth and Ollie and I caught up. He was telling me how the treatment with his dad was getting better and his dad might be free from cancer, it was a huge relief. I told him how I had been to a few new countries with Noah and how we needed to go there again. It was great fun.

Ollie and I spent the next few months hanging out a lot, I made sure Noah was included but he never wanted to hang out. It caused some problems between us. We happened to have our first huge fight...

"It's always Ollie this Ollie that! You never hang out with me now!" He yelled "I always try and make the effort to hang out with you but you always say no!" I yelled back, getting annoyed at the boy I loved. "Maybe because I want to just be with you, my girlfriend!" "He's my bestfriend!" I yelled throwing my hands in the air "yeah and I'm your boyfriend..." He said softly but I was still angry "I can hang out with whoever I want Noah! You can't just control me" I said yelling still "it's either me or him Daisy" he said "not gonna happen!" I grabbed my jacket and left.

I stepped out of my apartment block and walked the cold streets of New York city, my phone had only 10% and I was a crying mess. I didn't realise I was hurting him so much, but he couldn't just make me choose between me or my bestfriend! It's not fair.

After a couple of hours of walking round and going to a cafe, I finally decided to go home. I knocked on the door before opening it, Noah was nowhere to be found in the living room, until I saw some shadow out on the balcony. I quietly put my stuff down and walked outside, he was smoking. I never saw him smoke so it came as a shock to me. I stood next to him but we didn't say a word "I love you, you know" he said taking a puff of his cigarette "then why make me feel awful" I softly said "I felt left out, I know he is your bestfriend and I just have to accept it" he said looking down and I turned to face him "what you said, about me choosing, that was unfair" he turned to face me. "I know it was and I'm sorry" he said and I looked up into his eyes "I'm sorry you feel that way about me hanging out with him, I didn't realise how much it hurt you" I sniffled looking down "hey come here" he said pulling me in and taking me into his embrace.

It felt like home.
