The McLaren Boys (Oscar Pastry)

1.0

Rose's POV

I quickly ran to the bathroom and closed the door behind me. The words wouldn't leave my head. They were repeating all the time.

You are fat.
You are fat.
You are fat.
You are fat.
You are fat.
You are fat.
You are fat.
You are fat.
You are fat.

Was I fat? Of course I was.

My hands started to tremble. My breathing was getting shallower. My head started spinning. The tears were pouring out of my eyes.

Then I heard footsteps. I wiped my tears, but they wouldn't stop.

"Rose!" it was Charles. Of course he followed me.
"Rose!" he shouted again.

I couldn't answer. I couldn't get a single sound coming from my throat. I couldn't stand up. My body was shaking and I banged on the door.

Charles was there before I could proceed anything that was happening. He picked me up and got me through the bathroom door.

I didn't know where were we going. I hoped not in front of the whole world. I probably looked like I was beaten up by ten men.

I could feel the light on my face, but I couldn't see anything; my tears were blurring out the whole place.

Suddenly there was no light anymore. Just chattering in the room. It was getting cold and I could feel my body shivering.

"Please, help me." Charles yelped after opening a door.
"Oh my God, what happened?" It was Lando.
"I will explain later. Please just help me." Charles whispered and laid me on, I assumed a sofa.

I was still bawling my eyes out, but I could not proceed a single sound.
"Rose, look at me." Lando whispered, obviously shook.
I couldn't see him. Everything was just blurry.

Oscar's POV (bet you didn't expect that)

I heard crying from my drivers room, coming out of Lando's. I was confused, so I decided to check up on him.

I opened his door and what I saw shocked me. Rose was laying on his couch literally pouring her soul out.

Lando was on his knees trying to get her calmed down. Charles turned around and saw me. Something in his eyes snapped. But not in a good way.

I got into the room without hesitating another second and went to the sofa, Rose was laying on.

"Let me try." I whispered. I knew she liked counting. When she was nervous at an interview or a conference, she would start counting on her fingers.

"Darling, it's me." I soothly whispered. "Please, sit up." I asked her and she did as I said.

Slowly sitting up she looked at me. Her mascara was ruined and she was devastated. Whatever happened to her, it must have  been really bad.

I put both my hands up.
"Count on my fingers, love." I said. She lift her shaking hand up and put her index finger on my little one.

"One." she whispered, then moved to my ring finger.
"Two." her voice was so smooth even though it was rough, probably from crying.

------

"A hundred and fifty-seven." she counted then stopped. She wasn't crying anymore. Her hand didn't tremble as much and her breathing was steady.

I immediately hugged her.
"Are you feeling better now, darling?" I asked her.
She nodded her head. I knew she didn't want to speak and I wouldn't budge her with it.

I gently laid her down and she closed her eyes. I turned around to a pair of surprised eyes.

"How did you know what to do?" Lando asked amazed.
"Counting always calms her down." I smiled.
Charles was weirdly eyeing me up and down, but nodded at me.

"What happened?" I turned to Charles. I was sure he brought her here.
"I'm saying this to the both of you. She will tell you, if she will feel comfortable enough. I won't say anything, as it is not my story to
tell. And Oscar... thank you." he smiled. I could see he cared for her. He was really her brother. I knew Arthur would be protective of her, but I never knew why. Now I know. They were family.

"We should get going, though." Lando pointed out. I looked at my phone. 12:37 and we were seven minutes late. I nodded hurriedly and walked to the door.

"Don't leave her alone, Charles. Please. You know, I believe she won't say it many times, but she loves you. You are her happiness. And not in romantic way. You are like her brother. And she is the most happy to have you and Arthur. I see that. I could see it when Arthur would take care of her in F3. You are her family. She would never intentionally hurt you. If she would, it would be for protection. I know you would do the same for her." I ended and headed out the door. I gently closed them, so I wouldn't wake Rose up.

Q1 was in a little more than two hours and she wasn't in a good state. It will be a hard day for her.

Charle's POV (OOP another one)

After Lando and Oscar left the room, I collapsed on the floor. I started thinking.

What would I do if she would be gone?
What would Arthur do?

He loves her. He started closing himself after she came into F1. After she stopped talking to him as much. She was his happy place.
They were the most funny and amazing people together. 

He found peace in her. He was the most happy person with a sister like that. They were like twins. Since they met, they were inseparable. Them two, and us with Lorenzo. We were paired up like that.

I looked at her. She hurt under the surface, but would never show it on the outside. Today will be a hard day for her.

I slowly sat next to her, putting her head in my lap, gently rubbing  her back. It always calmed her down.

I kissed her on the forehead. It was cold.
"I love you, sis. I hope you will always remember this. Even if you're asleep I can tell you this." I took a deep breath.

"You are the best thing that happened to Arthur. He may not show it too much, but he feels it. He feels happy around you. He can be himself around you. You make him more happy than his own girlfriend." I chuckled.

"You are one of the best things that happened to our family. Rose, you are our family. We love you and you're ours. I know it's hard with your mom. But we're here. Always. Always and forever. Standing by your side, no matter what. Even if we sometimes fight, we love you. We love you, because you're our sister. We don't want seeing you hurt. Never again. So please talk to us. You haven't seen Arthur in three months. He misses you. And I know you miss him. You two are twins."

"We all love you." i ended. It was sad she couldn't hear me, but because of it, it was probably easier to tell her.

"My family is the best thing that ever happened to me. And that is you, Arthur, Lorenzo and maman. I love you all to the moon and back." she sat up. She was awake.

She hugged me.
"I will see Arthur this week. I promise. I miss him too." she admitted and smiled into my neck.

"It's still a long day, girl." I chuckled and she groaned.

"Yes, it is." she breathed out and stood up.
