Gone Wrong

Chapter 13

Sofia Sainz

"You did what?" Charles raised his voice as I sighed.

"It was an accident Charles." I said referring to the broken kart.

"An accident? Sofia, do you realise this was my Fathers kart?" He shouted as I felt terrible.

"Can we not get it fixed?" I ask as he shook his head.

"Nobody fixes these types of karts nowadays." He sighed leaning his head on the table.

Even tho Arlo broke the kart Im taking the blame for him.

"I'm so sorry, Charles. I'll make it up to you I promise." Maybe I can find someone to fix the kart for him.

Charles sighed, "it's fine."

We were leaving for the Singapore grand prix. I was very nervous about the flight with Arlo. It was about 12 hours long and i'm not sure a four year old boy can handle that.

We were flying to Singapore with Charles and Carlos and also their trainers.

We boarded the flight and Arlo was amazed. He had never been on a plane this big.

"Woah." Arlo's eyes glimmered as he looked around.

"Woah indeed." I said as Arlo looked up at me.

Charles laughed and sat down with his trainer opposite him.

Arlo immediately ran to the seat next to Charles.

I had noticed recently that Arlo had come out of his shell with Charles and was very fond of him.

My brother sat on the other side of the plane with his trainers.

I looked around for a place to sit, "Sit here Sof." Charles called out.

I smiled and lifted Arlo up and placed him on my lap.

As the plane took off, one of the flight attendants came around offering drinks and snacks.

I took a drink for me and one for Arlo and a bunch of snacks to keep him settled.

"Don't eat them all now, Arlo." I laughed as he ate a bag of chocolate buttons.

Arlo got bored very quickly but luckily he fell asleep on my lap soon after.

"He's adorable." Charles trainer, Andrea said.

"Thank you." I looked down at my boy.

"How comes his father isn't with you guys, if you don't mind me asking?" Andrea asked as my head shot up. Did Charles not tell one of his best friends about Arlo?

"Oh?" I looked at Charles. "um- we aren't together." I awkwardly said as Andrea nodded.

I sighed as Charles gave me an apologetic look.

Charles and Andrea began discussing possible strategies for this weekend which bored me so I ended up falling asleep.

When I woke up Arlo was no longer on my lap. I looked down seeing Andrea and Arlo laughing on the floor together.

"Mama Andrea is teaching me the warm ups i'll have to do when I become a Formula One driver." Arlo giggled as I raised my eyebrows.

"Is he now?" I said as they went back to playing.

"Nice nap?" Charles smirked at me as I couldn't help but smile.

"It was nice." I looked at my phone. "How long was I asleep for?"

"A good four hours." He said as my eyes widened.
