Chapter 8 : hospital

Charles POV:

I'm hearing people talking but I'm not seeing anything. What happened ? Last thing I remember I was in my car during the race. The voices are familiar, I recognize them it's Arthur and maman. Why are they here ? Where am I ? I finally succeed to open my eyes, to see my family with a worried look on their faces.

-He finally woke up I'll call you back later Lorenzo bisous. Maman say before storing her phone and turning to me. How are you feeling mon chéri ?

-I'm good, I think. what happened ? I say a little bit confused

-You don't remember ? Asks Arthur.

-Umm no, I don't think so. I don't know, I'm really confused right now.

-It's okay maybe we should come back later so you you can sleep a bit more.

-No it's all good you can stay. I'm a lying a little, I really could use some sleep right now.

-Okay then I'm gonna go warn the doctors that you're awake.  Arthur say while leaving the room.

-I'm also gonna send a text to Ferrari I heard they wanted to discuss something with you as soon as you woke up.

-So what happened did I crash during the race ? And weren't you supposed to arrive tomorrow ?

-Yes, you crashed into Max it was a pretty bad accident but luckily the doctors said that you were gonna be fine and that you could participate to the next race and as for why am I already here it is because we are tomorrow Charles.

At least it means Max didn't win.

-And Max what happened to him ? I don't even know why I'm asking I really don't care.

-He also passed out after making another scandal, he really has no respect for anyone but I heard he had woken up yesterday. She sighs

-What scand... A voice cut me in the middle of my sentence.

-Hi Mr Leclerc how are you feeling ?

-I'm okay just really tired and a bit confused.

-It's normal to feel that way after an accident, luckily you don't have any bad wounds so you should be able to participate to the next race, but for now you should rest as much as possible, your body still needs sleep. So I think we should all leave you alone, and stop the visits for a few hours. He said while making a sign to my family indicating to leave the room.

-We'll finish this conversation later mon cœur.

-Okay bisous maman.

So I still don't know what scandal she was talking about. What could've happened during the race ? God it's so frustrating it's like I always forget everything important, just like that night with the mysterious girl, and I have the same weird feeling that it's something that I should absolutely remember.

-Hey

I wake in surprise and see my little brother, I didn't realize that I had fallen asleep, but that's not very surprising because I was very tired before.

-Whoa you really scared me there.

-Oh sorry I thought you were awake, I just saw someone coming out of your room, which is weird because we told everyone that wanted to see you to come tomorrow to let you rest today.

-Are you sure there was someone ? I haven't heard or saw anyone.

-Yeah and I'm pretty sure it was Max.

-Max who ?

-Duh Max Verstappen, who else ?

-Oh you're fucking with me, I almost thought you were serious, stop joking it's not the right time.

-No really I'm serious, I swear I saw him. He says a little annoyed.

-Right I say rolling my eyes

He sighs and we continue to talk a little, while he scrolls on his phone but then I see a big smile that looks like a bad omen on his face.

-What is it ?

-See I was right !! He says showing me his phone.

I look at it to see the worse thing I could see Redbull and Ferrari posted a photo of me and Verstappen in the hospital while I was asleep on instagram. How could they do that without my permission ? And when did he took this photo ?

-Arthur where's my phone ?!? I almost shout

-Maman still has it. He answers with a worried look on his face.

-Okay then give me yours right NOW.

-Okay okay no need to get mad.

I grab his phone out of his hands and immediately call Fred to understand what the fuck is going on, after a few rings he finally answers the phone.

-What the fuck is this photo ?!?

-Happy to see you're doing okay Charles, I presume you've seen the photo with Max. Don't worry we'll explain everything later, when you'll be totally healed and can come to a meeting.

-Why ? Why not now ? I wanna know now !

-Charles we'll talk about it later.

-No I wan... I didn't even had the time to finish my sentence before he hung up.

Fuck it's so frustrating, it's like I always only have half of the story and Max always has the resf of it. I'm certainly not gonna wait this time. I take off my catheter, get up and start to run away, in front of my brother who's at first too surprise to react but then start to run after me screaming to me get back but I've already take too much advance on him for him to catch me. Outside I take the first taxi I see and told him to drive straight to the temporary Ferrari quarter, once there I go straight in direction of Fred office. But I start to feel my vision darken and my consciousness leaving, before feeling arms catching me, those arms feel familiar and comfortable.

-It's you. I let out.

-*sigh*Why is it always you. I hear the person mumble before I pass out again.
