without you - max verstappen x charles leclerc

-First day-

Charles Leclerc

It is my first time walking trough the paddock as a Formula 1 driver. I signed a contract with sauber for the 2018 season. As i walked trough the paddock on my way to my garage i greated some of the drivers and had a short chat with Pierre Gasly. He is my best friend. I know him sins i was a little kid and we always got along very well. You cant say that about my relationship with another driver here on the grid. Max Verstappen. We raced against each other when we were younger but we never got along well. There was always a sort of tension between us. Maybe because of his dad that was always by his side, scaring poeple away from his son. He always said that you shouldn't talk to your rivals because you get bonded to them and it affects your results. At the beginning i tried to be nice to him and maybe even be friends but he always ignored me or just be rude to me so i stoped trying. From that moment on i discided to hate him.

i got kicked out of my thoughts as someone waved a hand infornt of my face. It was Lorenze, my older brother and my maneger. "Hellooooo, earth to charles!" he almost shouted. I finally snapped out of my thougts. "what, sorry i was a bit in my thoughts" i said. "did you even listent to what i was saying?" he said with an irritated tone. i tried to remember something of what he said, "ehm, yes, you said that...that... sorry i didn't listen" i gave in. "were you thinking about charlotte again?" he said with a smirk on his face. Charlotte is my girlfriend. We are in a relationship for almost 3 years now. At the beginning i was totally in love with her but a few months ago i found out that she was cheating on me the whole time. I tried to break up with her but i just can't because every time i try to have a serieus conversation with her she starts to flirt with me and kiss me till i just say nothing anymore.

"No, i was just thinking about Formula 1 and what its gonna be like to race in it" i said. "youre gonna find out soon. But first we need to go to youre garage and talk to your engeniers" he said and started walking again. I followed him and we started talking about F1.

When i was done talking to my engeniers, i decided to grap some lunch. It was now 2PM. I walked trough the paddock and saw pierre walking. We decided to go for lunch together to catch up a bit.

"how are things with charlotte?" he asked me as started eating his sandwich. "not really good, i still cant break up with her and i dont know why. Its just...my whole family loves her and always say that she must be the one for me..." i cried out. I saw pierre thinking. "just dont listen to your family and just break up with her and after that, you explain to them why you broke up with her. you know that she cheated on you and everything. I think that they would get it." He said with a calm tone."maybe that is the best thing to do..." i said a bit sad. Looking at my food, i suddenly didn't felt the urge of eating anymore. I ate a few bites but left it with that. After Pierre had eaten is sandwich we said or goodbyes and I left to my drivers room.
