THE FORBIDDEN LOVE

Chapter 4-Who are we really?

I am walking down the streets of Melbourne.These are the streets where me and my brother kinda grew up, but at the same time did not grow up in. My mom and dad moved to Australia because of work, and my brothers and sister left behind in Monaco to finish school.. You see, we are originally from Monaco, but truth to be told I have never lived a second of my childhood there. Or wait, that is a lie. The first six years I lived there, and then mom, dad, me and my brother Simon moved to Australia. Then we lived here for two years, and well my dad died so mom left. She did not leave me and my brother unsupervised tho, she left us with some friends of hers and well we lived there till our 14th birthday, and now we live in the house we were supposed to live in when we moved here from Monaco.

I feel like I have to explain how my mom could just leave. When papa died, maman got heartbroken. She could not live in the city or country papa died in. She moved back to Monaco, and she asked me and my brother if we wanted to live here or go home to Monaco. Both me and my brother wanted to stay put in Australia and Summer Bay because this is where we have our friends and school. So maman did not just drop everything and leave. She was behind after papa died and set up arrangements so me and my brother could stay.

Let me set the scene for you okay? I have three older brothers, one older sister and then my twin brother (I popped out first so I am the oldest). All of my brothers have or are in some kind of formel sport. The oldest of my brothers, Lorenzo, did some time in Formula 2 and 3 but was not talented enough. Maya, my only sister, did like me karting in her younger days, and like me her career said stop there, just because we are girls. She is currently dating Daniel Riccardo, who is a driver for McLaren. Did I mention that Maya and Lorenzo are twins? No? Well now you know that too. Then we have Charles, the Ferrari wonderboy and the one with a good career in Formula 1 actually. Arthur is the youngest of my oldest siblings, and he has a vibe just because he does not give a shit and is talented, and has a seat in Formula 2. Then there is my twin. He is my whole world, and we have experienced som fucking much together. He has always supported me, and I him, and truth to be told it feels good to have someone who understands you to the core of everything. His name is Simon and we are basically identical twins (minus the identical part) but all the other things identical twins are said to have, we have too. Simon did also do carting and he loved it, and got an offer to go to Formula 4, but he did not want to go without me.

And now over to who I am. I am Leah Eleanor Clare Leclerc. Fancy name right? I just go by Leah tho. Currently 19 years old and loving life. I speak Mandarin, French obvi, Spanish, English, Hindi, Portuguese, Bengali, Norwegian, Finnish, Danish, Swedish Russian, Japanese, Javanese, Punjabi, Cantonese and Korean, just to name a few of those idk 400 different languages I speak. And before you ask, yes I speak all of them fluently. But I also have a big secret. Simon knows what the secret is, but if it comes out it can hurt so many people. So it will be a secret a little bit longer.
