MONTE CARLO, MONACO. JANUARY 2023.
After their trip in New York to see Sophie and then their short trip to Michigan to say hi to Jaxon, Thierry and Jacob had made their way to Monte Carlo. The plan was for Jacob to stay with Thierry's family for a bit during the off-season.
The Arquette family had always been welcoming to Jacob, he had visited almost every summer since he became friends with Thierry. It was also a plus that Jake shared the same passion as their son.
The two boys were currently on a run, running through the sunny streets of Monte Carlo. They reached the pier and stopped, reaching their designated target of a 10km run.
Thierry took his shirt off and used it as a towel, the blistering sun meant that both of them were drowned in sweat.
"You want to go for a swim when we get back?" Thierry asked.
"Yeah course."
The Arquette's lived in a lavish house, Jean Arquette was a formidable name in Formula One, a leading mechanic who currently worked with Ferrari - hence Thierry's desire to race for that team. His father had already spoken to his contacts and teams were keeping an eye out on Thierry, Jean had been tirelessly working on finding a team that would let his son be a reserve driver for but it seemed like Thierry would have to start the season racing in Formula Two.
When both Jacob and Thierry got back, they went for a swim and only got out when Thierry's mother called them for dinner. After dinner, Jean insisted that both of them did some reflex and co-ordination drills and took them both to the garage. There, he trained with them and made sure that despite the off-season, they were both in fit shape.
Once Jacob could finally unwind and rest, he looked through his phone on different social media platforms. He made sure he could get updates on everything his friends were up to. As he was scrolling through Twitter he saw an article written about Jax being deemed a future projected first pick in the draft. Jacob was happy for his friend, he had been doing really well at University of Michigan, excelling in his sport and academically.
There was also a tweet speculating that Euphoria season 1 was in its final stages of production and would be coming out later this year. He was also happy for Sophie, she seemed to be having a great time working on set. It was hard finding time to speak to her, with the time zones and the busy schedules, the group found less and less time to call.
There was always a part of Jake that was worried he would lose contact with his friends, mainly Jax and Sophie because of how far away they were and the busy lives they all led. However, he had faith in their friendship, despite it being over a year since they saw each other, when he saw Sophie and Jax it was like nothing had changed.
He was snapped out of his thoughts by a DM on Instagram.
