Falling | Charles Leclerc

14.

You awake?

Struggling to sleep, are you okay love?

I'm confused

What about ? Maybe I could help ?

What happened with the accident ? How did you find me and know where I was ?

Oh.. umm.. Lando found you and he called me. I think we should maybe talk about it in person.

Please Charles, tell me what happened. All I remember is leaving the hospital and driving. That's it.

All I know is what Lando told me. It was raining and a driver ran a red light and hit you causing your car to spin and flip. Lando tried to get you out but he couldn't. That's all I really know. He called me and I came to the scene and arrived just as they were pulling you out of the car. I got in the ambo with you and went to the hospital and you had a seizure. I left while you were in surgery so I could do my media day.

Oh my god Charles! Your media day. I am so sorry you missed some of it. It's all my fault.

Summer. I chose to stay with you. I chose to miss out on media day, they all understood why I missed it. The media were confused.

Who knows you missed media day because of some random girl?

The boys know, and some of my team like my press trainer and team principal, but that's it. And hey.. you're not just some random girl.

But I am just some random girl, you know nothing about me. And I you.

Well, your favourite colour is purple and you live near the ocean, you work at a zoo, you study at University. You have a brother called Henry. I know more than you think love.  And you follow F1 you probably know a lot about me.

Just what I see and read. What's your favourite colour ?

Ah.. red.. I guess. I don't know. I'm always in red so I guess red.  Favourite food?

Are we really going to play 20 questions at 1am?

Well you can't sleep, and I may as well keep you company. So, yes. Yes we are going to play 20 questions at 1am.  Favourite food ?

Hmm, going to sound super aussie but I would have to say either pavlova or something with Milo in it. Like milo truffles.

I have never tried either of them, and I have never heard of milo truffles.

Well we are going to have to change that now aren't we?

It's a date.

Your turn.

Summer ?

20 minutes go past without an answer and it starts to get me worried. Has she fallen asleep? Has she had another seizure!? Has something gone wrong. I go to call her when a notification comes through.
