The next morning I woke up on the couch next to Lando, I woke at one point in the night when Charles and Laura came home, I think they tried to be quiet but failed miserably because of the fact they were both rather drunk, they didn't notice me waking up to them as they sneaked into Charles room. I just sat there looking in their direction letting out a little giggle, I thought about going into my room but I would've felt rather guilty for Lando as he stayed over all night with me and Ollie then just leave him alone on the couch so I just laid my head back on his shoulder and fell back asleep.

I get up from the couch stretching out my arms and back, the couch was comfy but not sleeping comfy, and my back was killing me, I was moving my torso around trying to get it popped out without any luck. "What are you doing?" Lando asks watching me amused "My back, it just won't freaking pop out" I groan in pain "The couch just killed me, ever since the pregnancy my back is just terrible and even the smallest thing can mess it up," I say still moving all around still unsuccessfully. "Wait lemme help you" Lan gets up quickly stretching his arms out "lay down on the carpet," he says I look at him confused he just signals me to lie down "Come on, my trainer always does this for me it works" 

I am still a little skeptical but just lay down on the ground he kneels next to me "Okay where is the point you feel it stuck" he asks I explain it to him "Okay" he squats over me putting his hands on the point I said it hurt and he started putting pressure on it and I finally felt it pop out, I let out a load groan just laying on the ground finally feeling relieved of the pain I then hear someone clear their throat behind us, I look up seeing both my brothers and Laura standing watching us from behind the couch "A part of me doesn't even want to ask" Charles shakes his head looking at us as I lay on the ground Lan on top of me, he quickly gets up and helping me up to "He was just popping out my back" I shrug "And I mean, it's not the worst thing you saw" I laugh as I see his face go cringe thinking back to the same time "Oh god, that was truly traumatizing" he shivers 

"What happened?" Laura laughs looking at me and Charlie, "Umm, there might have been a time when he unexpectedly barged in on me and Pierre and we were in a rather... khm- compromising position" I say laughing a little "The unexpected barge in was after them inviting me to dinner, and they were in the fucking living room completely naked. I- blah" he shivers again making us all laugh again. I went to wake up Ollie before we all got breakfast. "Okay I gotta go home to pack now," Lando says "Thank you for staying over" I smile hugging him tightly "Anytime S, Promise to stay in touch?" he asks looking me in the eyes I nod "I promise," I say hugging him again before he leaves 

I get back to the kitchen to L and Charlie "Where is O?" I ask looking around "Art took him out to the pool" Charles nods his head towards the pool where the 2 boys are very much enjoying themselves, "How are you feeling?" L asks me I just shrug "There is not much I can do" "Or maybe you can tell him the truth?" Charles raises his eyebrows at me "I don't think the timing is right on that" "I didn't mean about Ollie, simply about the fact that her girlfriend is a liar" "You really think he would just believe me?" I raise my eyebrow "Did you see the amount of hate he was looking at me yesterday? I think Emily most likely ruined any chance of a family for us" I frown a little, "I still think you should talk to him after things calm down?" I just shake my head

 "When are you leaving?" I asked turning back to Charles "Tomorrow morning" I nod. "Are you meeting Sammy?" Laura asks "Yeah tomorrow night" I nod, then I just kind of examined them they were disgustingly happy and bubbly and Laura had her hair in a super messy bun, she only had her hair like that if. I stare at them "What?" L asks looking at me "You two had sex!" my eyes go wide, and Laura's cheek goes red "How-" Charles looks at me with wide eyes "Her hair" I point at her bun he just looks confused "She never wears her hair like that just if she had sex" I say and Charles looks at me slightly amused at my discovery. "I would say I wanna talk to you" I look at Laura "But I realized that I would be talking about my brother's sex life and eww," I say to her as we always talked it out after.

L, she was a tough woman but her soul? Her soul was so gentle, but she struggled a lot with opening up to her partner sex-wise, it took her a pretty long time to sleep with someone, and many times she was feeling absolute shit after being with someone. Actually almost every time she just cried to me, it wasn't about it not being good, it was about her, she looks like the most badass bitch in the room, but she was extremely conscious about her body she was bullied a lot for the way she looked and that just really stuck with her. But she slept with Charles pretty quickly. I just eyed my best friend up and down "L? do you want to talk?" I look into her eyes trying to read her emotions she gives me a small nod, and I get up from my seat as she walks to my room "Did I do something wrong?" Charles looks at me worried, I shake my head no "I'll talk to you later oki?" he nods still looking worried. 

I close the door behind me and sit down next to L "You okay bubba?" I soot my hand over her hair "I know he is my bro but I still kill him" I smile at her slightly "No, I am okay, it just it was different" she says quietly "In a good or a bad way?" "Good" she smiles a little "But still felt a little weird" she admits I take her hand "I am just scared now, you know I just. What if he leaves now?" she whispers "He won't leave L, you got that man hooked" I smile at her, "You think?" "Absolutely, but talk to him, he might not be the brightest sometimes but he is not dumb" she nods "Go take a bath" I point her to my bathroom "You will feel more relaxed" I smile hugging her before she goes to run herself a bath

"She okay?" Charles asks as soon as I walk back to him "Yes, she just-" I sigh "She will talk to you about it okay?" "But did I do something?" I shake my head quickly "No, no it wasn't you I swear" I give him a reassuring smile "Don't worry she will be fine just give her a little time" he nods he is about to say something else when the doorbell rings "Oh that must be Arthur's doc" I say quickly going to open the door "Doctor" I smile letting him in while Charles went to get Arthur and Ollie out of the pool, Arthur quickly changes into some sweats coming back to the living room after.

The doc examines Arthur and asks him to do some of his exercises to see his progress after about 25 mins we all sit down and look at him. "You are almost back with full motion, the scar healed beautifully, we are going to need to do an x-ray, but if I am being completely honest, there MIGHT be a chance of you competing in Monza," he says we all smile "Wait seriously?" Arthur asks standing up "Might! We need an X-ray and we need to check in with your trainer, and other doctors, but yes there is a chance" we talk a bit more about what to do and when to where to go in the next few days. After he leaves I just bring Arthur into a tight hug "Ugh I am so proud of you" "Let's not get ahead of ourselves, it's just a might" "Stop being pessimistic, you will be racing in Monza" I smile

"We'll see...
