Stolen Heart

The Note (Part 1)

(2022) Hello! I'm Y/N.. You're probably wondering "who the hell is Y/N?" well, I-

"Stop talking to your imaginary friends and get in the car Y/N, we have to go!!" Sorry.. we're gonna have to narrate in my head, however that's my cousin Max Verstappen. He's super nice, he has a girlfriend called Kelly and she has a daughter called Penelope who I adore and I think she loves me too.. I'm kind of like a step-auntie!

"Hurry up Y/N!" Oops, I'm talking a bit too much aha.. anyways me and Max are like two bestfriends, we share an apartment together and we have the same friend group. I lost all my motivation to do anything at one point and I lost my job and everything I owned, I got kicked out of my house and my family didn't want anything to do with me... except from Max. He let me into his house and showed me what family really meant.

Anyways, enough about Max! His bestfriend Charles is the nicest person I know and if I'm being totally honest I really enjoy being around him.. I've never actually hung out with him just on our own but he always sits next to me or stands next to me when he finds the chance to. He's super nice to me, not like the others. He made me a daisy chain once, he tells me everyday how proud of me he is and how much of a good friend I am.

I'm always head over heels anytime I see him but it's weird because I see him everywhere! I mean yes I spend most of my time in the paddock cheering on my cousin but he's always out in town just... there?! I can't complain though, I love seeing him.. Whenever he greets me I love hearing his sexy, monegasque accent. I love seeing him flick his hair around making sure he looks good whilst walking up to me. I love his rosy pink lips and his pearly whites. Oh! I also loveeeeee his dimples, they're so cute! Oh and most importantl---

"Snap out of it Y/N, we're here!" Max says, grabbing my attention and bringing me back into the real world. If only it was Charles that was grabbing my attention...

Max and I step out of his royal blue car and walk up to the entrance of the paddock where we have to use our keycards to enter. It's so fun hearing the beep and seeing the photo of me on the screen, the funny face I took really makes me crack up everytime!

It was finally my favourite race of the year.. Yes it should be my home race, Zandvoort but it's the Spanish Grand Prix! I love it here, mainly because my bestfriend is Carlos Sainz Jr who is a Spaniard and it's his home race but something about the excitement in the air and the passionate fans really made me love this place. 

I couldn't help but smile and skip around the paddock, as I said before, I really do love this place. "Someone is happy." I heard a familiar voice coming from behind me. "Charles, how are you mate?" I heard my cousin, Max say. I turn around to see his 'Prince Charming' face and his dark brown, gorgeous hair. His red Ferrari shirt really made him look even more pretty. All I could do was just stare, speechless at him.

"Y/N? You okay darling?" Charles asked in confusion.

Darling? Oh my.. Something about that made butterflies fly around in my stomach. "Yes, yes! I- I'm alright, how are you?" I say, clearly flustered. 

"I'm better now you're here. I haven't seen your smiley face in weeks! Mainly because the last race was called off because of the rain." He says, still smiling handsomely at me.

"I still can't believe that rain was so bad! I missed you a lot Char." I say smiling at him, I could sense Max was getting annoyed that I was stealing his bestfriend off him but honestly I couldn't stop talking to Charles, it was so nice to spend time with him.

We finally left Charles because they had to set up for free practise however the race weekend went amazing and Max got pole position and won! I was so proud of him. However fast forward to the next year, me and Charles have gotten so much more closer now but I'm having a hard time with my mental health and me and Max just haven't been bonding like normal..

(2023) "No Y/N! I don't care, just leave me the goddamn alone!" Max said, shouting at me for the third time today.. I didn't do anything wrong although I feel guilty? Yet again, I decided to go to my room and cry into my pillow. This time I didn't decide to reach out to Charles, I felt bad for putting all my problems and sadness on him all the time. He could worry about me during races which could affect his performance?

I haven't left the house in so long. I think I should go out and do something, maybe with some friends? Or go for a walk on my own!

I thought about it for a while and decided not to.. I would rather stay in and watch Netflix. I did decide to order an McDonald's Iced Coffee and a wrap because I fancied it, it was very delicious so I'm glad I did.

(A Couple Of Weeks Later) I haven't shown up to any races or left the house and Max has been having a go at me for this all the time now, ontop of that anything I did he had a go at me for.. "He's taking it too far now, I can't take it anymore!" I thought to myself. I knew I had to leave, not forever but just.. leave.

Luckily over the past year I had gotten a job, a pretty good one so the only ever time I left the house was to attend those shifts. I had quite a bit of money now so I got a hotel room and packed up a lot of my stuff and left. I didn't say anything to Max or leave anything for him to read that gave him information on where I was, he wouldn't notice I was gone anyway! 

Although I did have a note for somebody...

(Charles' POV) "Mate! You're cheating." I say to my bestfriend Carlos. We are playing Fifa 23 until there's a knock at the door. "Wait, pause it one second." I say to Carlos with a confused look. Carlos' cheeky smiled turned into a confused look and so did mine.

I opened the door however nobody was there, no car, no nothing. I look down to a white envelope on the floor with some pretty handwriting on the front which said.. "Charles.." with a nicely drawn but small heart next to my name. I look around once more before closing the door and walking over to Carlos and sitting down.

"Mate what is it? Did I miss your birthday?!" Carlos says desperately trying to get me to open it. "I do not know, my birthday was ages ago.. When I opened the door nobody was there either." I explained, slowly opening the envelope which revealed a small, white note which had the same, beautiful handwriting on again.

Love you.. -Y/N

I look up at Carlos as he looks at me with an upset look on his face...
