The next day Charles left for Belgium Gp. "Stay safe okay?" he hugs me when I drop him out at the airport "I will, good luck this weekend" I smile "Thank you, text me the updates of Arthur" I nod and go back to the car where Arthur is waiting for me and we drive to the hospital to get his check-ups and results. We spend about 3 hours in the hospital when they finally get down with everything. "Well, Arthur you have made an incredible recovery," The doctor says sitting down in front of us. "So, I can race in Monza?" Arthur asks nervously. "Yes, we are giving you clearance" I smile widely at him "But! You still going to have to do your exercises and SLOWLY ease back into your regular training too, I want you to know that you might not be able to do everything the way you used to for a while" The doc says looking at him he nods, 

"And I would strongly advise someone still being by your side when you do exercises," he says looking at me I nod "Make sure if you feel any pain discomfort report to the team doctor or to anyone else" He nods, and we just go to sign some papers before we leave. We get in the car and after texting everyone who needed to know I drive us home "Charlie is calling" Arthur lifts my phone and puts it on speaker "Heyy, they cleared him" I smile hearing how excited he is "Yes, he can race in Monza, you are speaker btw" I say "He still has to do his therapy but he can get back to training slowly" "Okay, okay that's good" "And well I guess I am joining you all" Charles stays quiet for a little "Really?" "Yes, he still needs someone to be by his side, and it only makes sense if it's me" I shrug, I see that even Arthur is surprised at my statement because no one expected me to stay after he leaves Monaco

"Well yeah that does make sense" Charles finally says. "Do you need me to get you a room in Monza?" he asks "I don't know yet, I think Laura will most likely join me so we will take care of it" "Alrighty, keep me updated" "Will do, love you good luck" as we get home I go to speak to Laura "I mean I really don't mind, plus I can see Charles live would be so much better than face time" She giggles "I'll take care of the room, you take care of the flight?" she nods, she asks a bit more about the doctor's appointment then I go to talk to my little boy too.

Later that night.

"So you are leaving for Monza in a week?" Sammy asks handing me a glass of wine I nod "Yeah, I spent enough time away from my family, plus Arthur needs me so yeah Monza next" I smile "Damm I don't see you for 3 days and your life goes crazy town" he laughs "Tell me about it" I roll my eyes "What about Pierre now?" I sigh "No clue, he is pissed off at me thinking I am bitch, plus he thinks I am dating you, oh and Lando too" I laugh "For real?" "Yeah he saw you when we went for dinner on the beach" he starts to laugh, and that's when Chris walks into the room "Hey Sarah" he kisses my cheek "Hey C" "You guys seem cheerful" he smiles sitting between us "Yeah, apparently, I am Sarah's boyfriends" Sammy smiles I just nod "Tbh even a lot of my friends think that I am dating you" I laugh Chris bursts out laughing "Sarah with you, I would share him" he laughs putting his hand on Sammy's leg. 

Yeah, the thing is. Chris is Sammy's boyfriend, yes he is gay, that was the thing he asked me about if he could bring Chris to the yacht party, to slowly ease everyone in so he could feel comfortable coming out, yet only I knew about them. It worked for all of us, people got off my back thinking I have a boyfriend, and he had me as an alibi to be on dates with Chris, plus Chris was a super sweet guy and I really liked him, he was really easy to talk to. "Look I even lend him to you to make Pierre jealous" he wiggles his eyebrows at me I just laugh "Thank you, I might take you up on that, but he is not my only boyfriend" I laugh using air quotes around the word boyfriends "Pierre also thins I am dating Lando too" "Damm she has a full set out for herself, nice," Chris says giving me a high-five making us all laugh 

About 2 weeks later

We touch down in Monza the next day Arthur would have his first practice session. The past week he got back to training and did some time in the simulator, it was looking promising but, he wasn't in his best shape and he easily got tired, "Go and take a nap" I tell Arthur as we get to his hotel "Chill I am not Ollie" he laughs "Yeah you are not, because he is already napping" I grin "Seriously Art, you need to rest or I am calling your team" I say flashing my phone at him "Okay, okay chill out" he puts his hands up walking into his room, I text Laura to let her know we arrived to his hotel, me, L and Ollie booked into a different hotel in order to avoid attention to Ollie, as this hotel was soon to full of f3,f2, and f1 drivers. 

"Hey" I answer Charles's call. "Hey you guys got it?" he asks, "Yes, I just sent Arthur to sleep, where are you?" "We are just headed to the airport" he turns his phone around, revealing Lando, Max, and Max's trainer in the car "So will be there soon with you guys, oh Lando is asking if you want to get dinner?" "Not tonight, maybe tomorrow, I want to stay in with Art, I'm scared for him" "Sarah, he will be okay, he got full clearance, and I'll stay with him if you like. Have a night of" "Okay but Laura is not her Charlie, so it really would only be you and Arthur" I say quickly "Okay, and? I'll be with Laura tomorrow then" "Then okay, dinner sounds nice" "Okay we are about to board so see you when we get there love ya" "Love you"

After letting Arthur nap for about 2 hours he gets up and we go down to the gym and do some exercises for a good hour, the guys arrive around 7 pm, "Okay do the physical therapy with him still, don't let him skip it!" I say before Lando pulls me out of the door to finally go downstairs to the restaurant, "Congrats on the race not bad" I smile at Lando as we order food "P7, the car was absolute shit" he sighs "Hey points are points" I say he just shrugs "Still it's incredibly annoying" "I know Land, but hey we are in Italy, maybe a repeat for last year?" I wiggle my eyebrows "I wish" he smiles. We just go on talking about last week's events "Will you come to our race too?" I just shrug "I don't know maybe, I just feel shit leaving Laura with Ollie again, she has been watching him for the whole day already, but we'll see, no promises tho" I give him a smile.

We walk out of the restaurant together waiting for the elevator, as it opens Pierre walks out stopping instantly in his track seeing me and Lando standing in front of him "What are you doing here?" he asks me quietly "I- Arthur is allowed to race again, I came to be with him" I answer not even looking at him, I see his eyes scan over me and Lando, "Yeah, Arthur I see" he says lacing at Lando, "You are ridiculous" I scoff at him, he just gives me a petty smile before going past us,

I can't believe him.
