This one is for you - Charles Leclerc ff. (In English)

• chapter 12

After the free practice was over, Charles had to go to a conference, so I walked home. I had just stepped out of the gate when someone honked at me from behind. I looked strangely through the window of the black SUV when Rick's annoying head appeared in front of me.

-Are you going to get in today or what?- he looked at me from behind his sunglasses, and after rolling my eyes I got in next to the boy.

-I could have walked!

-Charles told me to pick you up, I had no choice.-smiled the boy falsely. We were almost at the hotel when an old man stepped in front of the car. Rick was just able to stop, but it was very close to hit him.-Maldito sea, ¿no puedes ver? no me ves venir, mira hacia adelante! (*What the heck! Can't you see? Can't you see that I'm coming ? Look where you step!*) -rejoiced the boy, which for some reason I found extremely funny.-Don't laugh, it's not funny!-he started laughing too.- People are not normal today, seriously! I went in the morning and a girl crashed her bike into the car, it almost got damaged, and then a woman in the store started arguing with me because I took the last yogurt, and in French!-he said, making me laugh even more.

-Well, you're not normal! It's not true that you dared to buy the last yogurt!-I said indignantly, and the boy also burst out laughing.

-Well, I needed it too!-he snarled. In the meantime, we set off the car. We got out of the car and walked into the hotel together. Suddenly my stomach rumbled.

-Would you like to have lunch with me?-I asked seriously, and the boy looked at me with wide eyes.

-And what about the fact that you will never forgive me and such?

-I never will, that's the way it is. - I shrugged.-But that doesn't mean we have to be extremely angry. And anyway, we can have dinner together, can't we?

-Of course-the boy rolled his eyes.- In 5 minutes at the caffeteria?-he asked, and I nodded. We both retreated to our own rooms, I changed into a more comfortable outfit. I chose a black kitten hat and an orange Mclaren hoodie. As soon as I looked at the hoodie, I remembered the boy with the curly hair and the fact that we've been neglecting each other a lot lately, so I wrote to him.

I put on my white Af1 and hurried over to the boy in the apartment next to me. I knocked before the door opened. Lando and I stared at each other for a few minutes, then the boy spoke softly.

-We ignored each other.-he said honestly.

-I know.-I blew out the air.-I'm sorry!

- Come here!-he opened his arms, which I immediately dug into. I loved that this boy could give me such a sense of safe spot in a tenth of a second like no one else.-Rick and I were just about to have dinner, will you join us?-I looked up at the tall boy.

-Of course! I've been waiting for you to ask-he said almost devilishly, before we burst out laughing. We went down the stairs and took a left turn, which led to the small restaurant part of the hotel. Rick left the room just then and the three of us tried to quench our hunger. We sat down at a table and waited for someone to take our order.-And anyway, Rick, where are you from?

-Well, I assume he's Spanish, because there were a couple of no puedes ver when he almost hit someone.- I brought up the memory and burst out laughing again.

-Your mom!-Rick also laughed. - Anyway, I'm half Spanish and half French, Charles and I went to the same school, we know each other from there.-he smiled at the mention of his parents. Suddenly George appeared beside us.

-Can I join?-he smiled, to which we nodded. George sat down next to me. We talked for a while, and then Charles joined us too. They took our orders, then brought them out 5 minutes later and we slowly started eating.

-This food is very delicious!-I said with a smile, which everyone agreed with.

-Oh my God, I know a place that makes heavenly pizzas. Sarah, you're going on a date with me anyway, remember?- George put his hand on my thigh, his smirky smile couldn't be wiped off his face, while I swallowed the food and started coughing loudly. Charles didn't elaborate, he immediately got up from the table and hurried away. I followed his figure with my eyes for a while, then stood up and hurried after him. When I got to his room, the door slammed, so I knew he was here.

-Charles? What's up?- I looked at him, and he looked at me angrily.

-What the fuck? Do you think I should be completely calm watching my girlfriend being touched or something?- he approached me, then stopped in front of me.-Is this normal for you? Of course, go and sleep with him then!- shouted the boy.

-Are you completely crazy? Do you know that you're talking about one of our friends like that? And yet, how can you assume such things about me?

-Don't play the innocent! Maybe it seems that he just wants to be one of your little friends?-the boy struggled.

-Of course, but I don't want to be anything more to him, since you are here for me! And even then you can't talk about me like that, Charles!- I pointed at him angrily. After all, there are fights in every relationship, right?

-Sarah, he touched you and you didn't even say nothing!

-You're completely crazy!-I laughed cynically.-You're jealous and you accept this!

-You know what? I don't care, you don't want to tell the truth anyway, whether it's a "small school fight" or this!-he pointed to our recent conversation in the restaurant-Be happy togethed!-said the boy and was about to leave.

-Don't pretend you don't feel anything for me!-I shout after the boy fighting with my tears.

-Then what the hell should I do Sarah? Should I pretend this never happened? Or I didn't mean anything to you, huh? Then why are you still wearing the fucking necklace I gave you? -he turned back.

- I... I didn't say that you didn't mean anything. You meant a lot. You still do, but you are unable to accept this!

-So it's my fault, right? IT'S ALWAYS MY FUCKING FAULT!-everything burst out of him.

-Oh my God, Charles. Stop being hysterical. He approached me, I rejected him. You're freaking out like this, even though I didn't do anything to you! Tell me what I did to make you behave like this?-I looked at him disappointed.

-Okay, if you don't say it, I will. It didn't mean anything. Let's finish it!-he said, then took a deep breath. I couldn't believe that he said that. I couldn't hold back my tears because he broke me with his words. I was tired of everything and for the first time since we met I felt what I felt before.

-How the hell did we get here Sarah?-he approached me. I started to step back and gasping for air. He wanted to touch my hands but I pulled them away.

-No Charles. You're starting to change back to the person you were before our relationship.-I stared at the ground bitterly.- Who the hell are you and where is the Charles I fell in love with? The one I would sell my heart to the devil for?- I looked back at him.

-I'm ruining you Sarah. Look at yourself! What did I do to you? - he whispered, then left the apartment.

He walked out of my life as easily as he walked into my heart.
