Epilogue

(2024)
Charles
"Carlos, please, don't be like this" I say. "Why? Why don't I have the right to be mad?! Lewis stole my position Charles, and you are being happy?! I thought we were best friends! Together or nothing, remember?" The Spaniard says, he's almost in tears now. "Can you at least be a bit happy for me?" "Why would I be happy?! You still have a contract, I don't. What the hell am I suppose to do now?!"

Carlos came in upset a few minutes ago. He just heard that his contract by Ferrari ends next year. Which means that this is his last season by Ferrari. The last season living his dream.

He has it, he has the right to be upset. But I just wished he was at least a bit happy for me. "Carlos, can we talk normally about this?" I say, a bit annoyed by his angry mood. "Mate what the fuck? I feel fucking betrayed by this team and here you are asking if we can talk normally about this? Please, they promised to take good care of me, they promised McLaren to take good care of me. Is this good care? I don't think so. And you're not helping with this." And with that Carlos walks out.

"Car, wait!" I say, but he doesn't listen. Fuck. I messed up.

Carlos
I know Charles can't do anything about this. I know it. But I'm just disappointed. Maybe if I stayed with McLaren this would have never happen. Shit. Why do I always make the wrong decisions? I hear Charles calling my name, but ignore it.

Where do I have to go? Who would understand me right now? I can't go to Lando. He's with Oscar doing some things by McLaren. I can't go back to Charles, not now I was being mad at him. Max is in the Netherlands so I can't reach him either. So I decide to go 'round Louis' and Harry's, even though it's already 9 PM and their daughter Darcy is probably sleeping.

Louis
"So well, that's our story" I say. I look at the brown haired girl in my lap, she smiles at Harry and me. "That sounds sweet" he says. Harry laughs short. "I'm glad you think it's a good story sweetheart" he says, he lays his head on my shoulder. "And good we didn't told her everything" Harry whispers soft in my ear. I smile. "She's too young for that love" I whisper back chuckling.

The doorbell rings. "Oh, I'll go get it" I say, placing Darcy in Harry's lap and standing up. When I open the door I see Carlos, his eyes are a bit read and there's tears in them. "Hey Car, what's wrong mate? Is everything okay?" I say. Carlos shrugs and tries to smile a bit. "Well, come in." I lead Carlos to the living room, Harry and Darcy look curious at us. "Carlos!" The girls says happy, and she runs towards him and gives him a hug. "Hello there kid" he says, he smiles a bit but his voice sounds sad. "Are you sad?" Darcy asks. "I am fine Darcy, you don't have to worry okay?" Carlos says, the little girl nods.

"Um Haz, can you bring Darcy to bed please?" I ask Harry, he nods. "Yes, come sweetie." Harry picks up the blue-eyed girl and walks with her upstairs.

I take Carlos to the couch. "Hey, Car, tell me what happend" I say, Carlos wipes a tear that escapes out of his eye away. "Um... well... so basically my contract by Ferrari ends in 2025..." he says. I look at him with open mouth. "What? But- where are you going then?" Carlos shrugs. "I literally have no idea" he says, the sadness in his voice almost makes me cry too.

"Damn Car..." I say. "And I was telling Charles but he was very happy because he still had a contract, so I got mad and now I'm ruining our friendship" Carlos says, he hides his head in his hands. "Hey, hey" I rub his back. "You aren't ruining your friendship with Charles, where is he now? Is he here in Monaco?" Carlos nods. "Okay, we'll go see him later okay? Everything's gonna be fine Carlos, I promise." Carlos looks at me. "Thank you so much..."

.

It's a few weeks later, Darcy is with Harry to the shopping center and I invited Carlos, Charles, Lando and Max over. It's just like the old times. It's great. Carlos and Charles made it up and Carlos accepted the fact that he will transfer to another team. Lando is there for Carlos the whole time so that makes it a bit easier for the Spaniard too.

Max and Charles only seemed to get closer, if that's even possible. And believe it or not, but they're engaged! I don't know when Max even had the time to propose, but it's really cute.

There happend much the past years, but it only brought us closer as friends, and I'm very thankful for that.

Harry gets home then. The boys love Darcy and immediately start to play with her. Harry sits down next to me and I kiss his cheek. "Was it fun?" I ask. Harry nods and lays his head down on my shoulder. I chuckle. "I love you Haz." Harry looks and me and smiles. "And I love you Lou."
