Regaining

~Say something. Anything.~

PRESENT TIME...

Y/n's POV:

"Max! Get the fuck off her!" a familiar voice with a French accent yelled.

"Charles mate! You're here! Hey, everybody, our world champion is here! And look, he's come to rescue his girl! Except, she's not his girl anymore!" Max was out of control.

"Max, shut the fuck up. You're drunk. You should stop before you regret saying something." I said hoping he'd take my advice.

"Oh, poor little Y/n! You don't know how to have fun! I mean, it was obvious that something was wrong with you, considering you fell in love with this fucker right here!" he pointed his hand to Charles who practically jumped at him after this comment.

Charles grabbed the collar of Max's shirt and pulled him up.

"Max. Mate. If you touch Y/n again, I swear I will kill you in a heartbeat." he whispered so only Max and I could hear him.

Max just laughed at him and Charles was getting ready to beat his ass up. Luckily, Carlos and Lando decided to end this shitshow and they separated the two. Charles was very eager to punch Max but Carlos held him back. Lando was holding Max up considering that he was barely able to stand.

"I'll take him outside to cool off." Lando said to me so I nodded in response.

"Y/n told me everything you fucker! You were too big of a pussy then and you're still too big of a pussy now! She should have never gotten in a relationship with you! She only went out with you so that she wouldn't feel lonely! Her boyfriend before you broke her heart and you were just her rebound! You were a pitty fuck and you have to come to terms with that! Thank God you didn't get married!" Max yelled as he was being escorted out by Lando.

Max, my first friend, the first, and only, person that stood up for me, just publicly humiliated me. Not only did he humiliate me but he belittled my relationship with Charles as well. I wasn't with Charles because I was lonely. I was with him because I truly loved him. I didn't even have a proper and serious relationship before Charles. He was my first serious partner. And, uhm, he was also my last. I haven't been in a relationship since the two of us parted ways. I wish I could say the same about him. From what I've been told, by a lot of people, Charles has had a new girl by his side every few months since we broke up. It was definitely the right call to call our wedding off.

Max also hinted at the fact that we could've gotten married but I think people won't think much of it because he didn't mention that we were engaged, to be married. They'll most likely think he liked the fact our relationship didn't go any further. At least I'll say that if anyone asks me about it. Our engagement was our thing and others don't need to know about it.

Max's comment made Charles ballistic. He broke free from Carlos' hold and went directly for Max.

As he was getting ready to throw a punch I stepped in front of him. I made a small mistake by placing my hands on his chest to stop him.

"Don't. He's drunk. And not worth it." I said quietly so only he could hear me.

He looked at me and his gaze immediately softened.

"Ah! Look at Charles having to be stopped by a girl!" Max yelled.

"I am gonna kill him." Charles said, only loud enough for me to hear and he got even angrier. My hands were still on him so I didn't let him move away from me. His heart started beating a lot quicker and because of that a wave of heat took over my body.

"Don't do anything. Stay here." I pretty much whispered to him and decided to walk over to Max so that Charles wouldn't do something he'd eventually regret.
