In a race to your heart | [Charles Leclerc]

Chapter One

I was never that nervous as I am right now. Telling my friends I'm back was easy. They were all really excited for me and I'm really happy they reacted this way. But now before me was a big challenge. Telling my protective brother I'm gonna come back to the most dangerous sport in the world after a big accident. I don't think he will run up to me and jump out of excitement. 

"We're happy to have you back Y/n. So, as we discussed, it's for a season for now. If you'd do a good job it'll be for more."

"Well, I'm also really happy to be here. I missed the team. Thank you for giving me a chance again Christian."

"No problem. I believe in your talent. So I guess see you soon."

"Of course, see you."

I went out of red bull headquarters and started the car. I was supposed to meet Max in 30 minutes. He was staying in some hotel in Milton Keynes due to some red bull stuff before the season starts. We agreed to meet for a lunch. The closer I got the more nervous I was. The ride felt like hours. Finally I got there.

"Hey, I haven't seen you in a while."  We hugged each other tightly.

"Yeah, I missed my brother." He smiled warmly to me.

"So, you waned to tell me something?"

"Let's order first. I'm dying of hunger." We sat down and both ordered a Greek salad.

"Wow, I didn't know you're on diet. I was expecting more like a-"

"I'm racing again." I finally let it out. He immediately went quiet. He literally froze in motion. I was getting prepared for the yelling part, but he didn't say anything. He looked more worried than angry. He finally spoke.

"Y/n the accident-"

"I've recovered. I did tests. All of them and I can race again. I'm gonna be checked up every race and have personalized exercises. I'm gonna be fine. You know how much I love racing and how much depressed I was when I heard I couldn't race back then. It's already done. I have a contract for a one season for now. I just wanted to inform you."

He stood up and went in my direction, then hugged me really tightly. This definitely wasn't the reaction I expected.

"I love you Y/n. I love you so much. Please, be careful.I know I can't stop you and  you're right I know how much you love it, so I'm gonna respect your  choice. If you say, you're ready, then I believe you. I want you to know that you will always find support in me no matter what."

I saw him tear up and I did the same. You have no idea how much I love my brother. He is an amazing soul. I just love how different he is than our father. His opinion have always been really important to me and now that I know that he is okay with my decision I feel a huge relieve.

"I love you too Maxie...Thank you...." That were the only words I could get out of my mouth. I'm really glad to have a brother like this. Many people think he's an aggressive, cold blooded person, but in real life when you get to know him, you'll realize he's the sweetest human being. Of course it doesn't count for enemies. If it comes to them, he's gonna tell everything what's on his mind. So, it's a great reminder to be on his good side.

We talked a bit more about my return and he was actually really happy for me. I told him how I got the seat after Sergio decided to retire. I also showed him the helmet design I chose.My return is gonna be announced in two days, so I'm very excited. 

"So number 28 is gonna be finally back on the grid?" He asked me already knowing the answer.

"Hell, yea. This time I'm gonna destroy this motherfucker."

Before my accident happen I had advantage on Charles in championship, but after this happened there were still two more races, so when I was gone he easily won them what caused also a world champion title for him. But this is gonna change now. I'm not planning on going anywhere in the near future. I'm gonna win this and nothing's gonna stop me.

"Yeah, I believe Leclerc is gonna die from happiness when he sees you back on the grid."

"Oh, I count on that brother. Seeing Leclerc loose have been always my entertainment."

"You two are insane and just like kids."

"Well, he was the one who started the whole hating thing, not me. He was always a dick. I'm not gonna be a punching bag and I'm definitely not gonna fucking beg him to be my friend. He wants a war, he gets it."
