With the help of Camilla, I straightened out the cuffs of my jacket once I'd placed it over the white top that I was wearing. I carefully rolled up the ends of my trousers so that I could pair them with the boots I'd picked out earlier in the day. I didn't know why I was going so all out with this outfit when I knew Alex would probably be wearing whatever he'd arrived to the track in before qualifying that morning, but even after all this time and everything that had happened I still felt the need to impress him.

"You look beautiful, querida" Camilla told me as she dusted a light layer of blush over my cheeks "he was an idiot to ever hurt you, and this really will show him what he's missing"

"that's not why I'm going though, remember" I softly smiled back "I'm making amends with him, not starting even more arguments"

"well, me, Marc and Fabio will be near by if anything does kick off" she reassured me, tilting my head upwards so she could put some mascara on my eyelashes "those two really care about you.. it's kind of cute"

I rolled my eyes, knowing if everything went the way I'd planned it in my head, there wouldn't be an argument. But then again, things never seemed to happen how they did in my head, for I never saw coming the terrible arguments that happened after I confronted him for what he did.

"all done, princesa" Cami smiled "now, go get your man"

I stood up from the chair I'd been sat in and looked myself up and down in the mirror that stood against the wall of the room we were in. Marc had been kind enough to lend me his driver room to get ready in, to save us going back to the hotel just to go the other way past the circuit to the cafe me and Alex had agreed to meet at. I picked up a spray from the table and lightly sprayed it over my body, it left a few spots of glitter on my top which I brushed away gently with my hand.

This is it now, the moment I've been dreading for seven months.
We'd spoke of everything. Everything that a girl wants in life. Marriage, kids, travelling the world, a real fairytale romance. 2 years had passed and nothing seemed to go wrong.

Until that one night.

That night when my heart shattered, and the next morning when the shattered pieces broke once more.

I'd cried for weeks on end, refusing to eat, sleep, talk. I couldn't bring myself to do anything, to the point where my whole family were worried. Not even Carlos or Camilla could get me to leave my room, something which had never happened before. The breakup hit me hard, not as hard however as the sight of him with another women the night before.

That one, that really stung. No matter when I think of it, it still brings a few tears to my eyes.

I pulled the race suit fully off of my body and my jeans on. I stood for a moment and stared long and hard at my bare torso in the mirror.

Finally, a second chance. A chance to put things right with the most beautiful soul I'd ever met.

Sabelia is perfect, she always had been. I'd never forgive myself for hurting her, especially after Camilla told me how hurt she was. How could I have done that to her, this absolute idiot hurt such a gentle girl.
