Love again? |Charles Leclerc|

Chapter 4.

FLASHBACK
CHARLES POV

I was so fucked up I was really unworthy of her love, but she loved me anyway. I never wanted to hurt her, but I always did. I wasn't good to her I didn't put her first. Back then I was selfish I did not know what I had until she was gone. She meant a lot to me but I didn't cherished her the way she deserved. We had our fights and she always, always find a way how to forgive me. Then I did something that was unforgettable.

When we started dating I wasn't ready for anything serious, but I knew I want her I needed her. It was meant to be. When I met her it was my first year in F1 and that was my only priority. My work was everything to me and I didn't want anything to jeopardized it.

The last time I saw her I was in a really tough period of my life. I wasn't certain about my future in F1, all was on the edge for me. I wasn't really in the mood of dealing with anything else. My contract was ending and I was still waiting for an extension and I wasn't sure if I get it. That week I wasn't seeing Mia that much. I just needed to focus on my work so I was avoiding her. She tried to call me a hundred times but I always decline. I though anything she has to say can wait.

It was Friday afternoon and I was waiting for the call from my manager. I started to freak out, this call was supposed to decide my future. I wanted to be the one and only driver for Ferrari it was my dream since forever. But it was only a dream, reality was different. Late afternoon I got the call, they decided to go with another driver, my dream faded away.

That night I went complete of the edge. I didn't want to see anybody, I should have called Mia, she would be there for me, but I didn't. I wanted to be by myself.

I did the stupidest thing I could do, I went to the nearest bar and got myself drunk. I was sitting at the bar, drank I don't even know how many shots of tequila and didn't really know what to do with my life now.

"Can I join you?" some girl just sit right next to me.
"As you wish" I was in a state where I really didn't mind the company of girls.
"Are you here alone?" she whispered into my ear.
"Yes, I am" I reply without any hesitation. Mia wasn't on my mind right now, nothing was on my mind right now.

This girl, she knew exactly how to get to me, It didn't take long and she was leading me to the bathroom. At that moment I wasn't myself I didn't feel anything I didn't know what I was doing.

I hooked up with her. Without any feelings.... just sex. I didn't even know her name. After I realized what the fuck did I just do I ran home, I ran home and called Mia. It was a mistake it was a fucking mistake. I needed to see Mia, she was my rock, my center, my everything. How could I do this her. She has the purest heart and just like that I decided to break it. I am a fucking idiot.

Mia POV

I sat on the floor of my bathroom and couldn't stop crying. How could this happen? I tried to open my eyes through tears and look again if I'm seeing really what I'm seeing. Yes, it's positive, I can't believe it.

How could this happen to us. This wasn't part of our plan. I have to tell him I have to tell Charles. I need him I can't deal with this alone. But how can I tell him, when he's avoiding me all week. I know his life is hard now. He is fighting for a place in the Ferrari team and I know he is going to get it one day. He is one of the hardest working people I have ever met, he is driven and always gets what he wants.

I was in a zone when I heard my phone ringing. It was nearly midnight and I saw Charles's name as he knew exactly that I needed him right now.

"Hey baby..." I tried to calm my voice from all of the crying.
"Please come to my place..." I heard him sobbing.

I took my things and ran over to his place. I was there in a few minutes.
The door was open, he was waiting for me.

When he saw me he run over to me and hugged me. I felt something wasn't right. He was devastated, he looked like he had been crying for the whole night.

"What happen baby, what's wrong?" I hugged him really tight I think that was all he needed right now.
"Everything will be okay..." I whispered to his ear and then we just sat hugging each other for a while.
"I don't deserve you Mia." He broke the silent.
"What are you saying Charles of course you deserve me.." I gave him a small smile.
"No, no, no...I don't..." he finally looked me in the eyes and it was a different look. His eyes were empty.
What happened to him? Why does he look like his life just fell apart?
