sometimes i wake up by the door, that heart you caught, must be waiting for you
There’s a saying that goes, “your first love is hard to forget because it leaves an 'imprint' on the sensory areas of your brain” and you’ve never believed it until you’ve experienced it.
you dated a man, that would do anything for you, that would suprise you breakfast in bed, made you feel like you’ve strike a lottery every single day, made you feel like your next could never beat this man.
But, the world is cruel because a few years later you’ve lost this man to someone who’s much worth than you are.
Even now, when we’re already over, i can’t help myself from looking for you
You’ve met through a mutual friend, some one who’s still close to you.
“I promise you y/n, you’ll like him! who knows you’re gonna finally fall in love and be in a long term relationship?” Charles was convincing you to date one of the drivers from the grid.
He was literally following every footsteps you’ve taken, usually you don’t mind his existence but here you are trying to focus on the notes placed in-front of you.
“Charles, if i wanted a relationship i would have been on hundreds and thousands of blind dates, i wouldn’t even be here right now! but im here, studying this” you sounded pissed while pointing to ur thick notes that was placed on top of the cafe table.
“Look, take a breath of fresh air, make yourself look pretty on date nights, do things you’ve never done before y/n! Live your life!” Charles was literally giving you the puppy eyes.
“Charles leclerc, i’m 4 years younger than you and i’ve an important examination that determine my career, but if doing this makes you shut the hell up, fine. Once and if this guy icks me, i’m not listening to you anymore!” You rolled your eyes jokingly, and heard charles pumping the air with a whispered ‘yes’
He snatched your mobile phone that you were holding on, and key-ed in number and letters and showed you the screen.
There on the screen was the name of your first love, pierre gasly.
Pierre Gasly, was a french man who took your breath away upon the first meeting. French wasn’t really the language you’re an expert in, even when your own best friend is monegasque. You’ve learn couple of words from charles but that’s it as both of you tend to mainly converse in english.
The whole date was not awkward at all, which comes to a surprise to you knowingly you’re a huge HUGE introvert with no social skills and from one date, to once in a few weeks dates to weekly dates and to finally being together.
In the first year of being together with pierre, nothing changed, everything was the same feeling as when you’ve met the first time. He would bring you around France whenever you’re on holidays, introducing you to his family and friends. What hits the spots is when he would bring you to places that he treasured the most.
The second year was when you’ve started to notice small changes, it started from him missing your weekly dates, not answering your calls with the excuse of him being too busy. You didn’t mind it at all, knowing you’re working while studying, your time for him wasn’t that much too, your routine while he was on season would be campus, work and sleep.
Whenever its off season, you’ll have routines where pierre and you would have picnics by the beach, pottery dates and more, but as days pass by you’ve realised how less time he has for you.
You knew something was wrong, but for someone who’s too in love, you refused to say anything until Charles spoke to you.
It was just a normal weekend, you’ve not plotted yourself a shift to your part time job, so you’ve decided to settle your school works at your own comfort of home until you heard a bell. You knew it wasn’t pierre and at this point, you had no faith in both you and pierre’s relationship.
“Hey, it’s been long” charles came in the house and hugged you.
“Yeah, sorry man, i’ve just been too busy, i’ve got to keep getting good grades for you to finally see me on the grid being a reporter” you smiled and led him to your kitchen, where most of your notes, laptop, books were.
“Sorry for the mess, was kinda in the zone” charles laughed, not minding one bit knowing how focused you are once you’ve start on your work.
“Pierre’s not homed?” Charles ask confusingly
“Pierre’s moved out, it’s only me charles” you refused to talk about pierre even-though you’re still in a relationship with him.
“When did it happened, why hasn’t pierre told me? What happened between you and him, y/n?”
“We lost the spark charles, i know he has his eyes on someone else charles” you knew, you knew how he looked at her whenever she was invited to the driver gatherings, you knew but you refused to believe even-though you knew how much prettier she was than you
“y/n, i’m so sorry. I didn’t know anything, i’ve never expected pierre to have done this, mon cherie. I’ve feel fault knowing I’ve introduced both of you to each other” charles stood in-front of you and engulfed you in a hug which led you to have a breakdown.
“It’s never your fault charles, this is why i’ve told you countless times i’m not interested in the dating zone. I’d rather stay home at weekends facing my bed and tv”
you laughed, but charles knew deep down his best friend was suffering silently, and this was what charles was scared off, losing two of his best-friends and having to choose a side.
“Charles, i know you’re thinking of choosing a side but you don’t have to, pierre and you were friends way before i’ve met you. We can still be friends charles, i do not mind at the fact you’re best mates with my ex charles. If anything, i’m happy that you’re willing to be friends with me, so don’t think too much charles, you’re just gonna overthink your small brain”
both of you laughed, but you were different, for some reason the tears couldn’t stop coming down.
“Did pierre asked for it?” Charles asked, not believing his best mate had just broken the heart of his other best friend.
You shook your head and pointed at yourself, “ i did. I think he had a grasp of the situation and didn’t fight back, but it’s alright. It’s an experience for my first love” you’ve shrugged, while cleaning the mess you’ve made
Both of you have decided to not talk about pierre anymore and continue on both of your days together, with charles making sure you’re going to sleep with peace.
Months passed by, you’ve finally scored your first reporter job on the grid and it was the Monaco GP.
You had Lissie mentoring you and guiding you through everything, you knew Lissie through Lando and you’re glad for this because with out this opportunity you’ve wouldn’t be here as a reporter.
“We’re going to scuderia alphatauri team, y/n do you want me to take over?” Lissie asked you for the second time.
You gave her a smile and shook your head “Lissie it’s fine, i will be okay, i promise you.”
Lissie knew your past with the certain team member of scuderia alphatauri team and safe to say she wasn’t really happy with the personality of his but you’ve assured her that he wasn’t really a bad guy, maybe just a right person wrong timing?
What you didn’t notice was charles and pierre conversing and pierre eyes mainly focusing on you.
“Charles, you’ve never told me y/n would be here?”
carlos came and joined the conversation asking charles about your presence on the grid.
Charles was confused, why would you be here? You had decline the paddock passes he gave to you and so he followed carlos directions and saw you there right in-front of the camera interviewing George Russell and charles heart has never felt so full seeing your dream had been accomplished
Charles ignored the conversation with pierre and carlos and walked straight to you and waited for the interview to end to hug you.
“Surprise charles, i’m here, this time being paid!” You hugged back and stepped back
“I am so so proud of you, thanks Lissie for giving her this opportunity!” Charles smiled and thanked Lissie knowing how much the opportunity meant to y/n.
Lissie laughed it off and mumbled a no worries to him.
“Will you be interviewing us? Carlos and I? When will that be?”
“She’s not going to Charles, i’m sorry you’ll be seeing my face instead” Lissie broke off the news to him and laughed
Charles rolled his eyes jokingly, “for once, i thought i could get away from you, Lissie”
While Lissie, Charles and you were conversing, pierre, yuki and carlos made their way to the three of you.
“Hey y/n, long time no see” yuki greeted you
“Oh please, we met last sunday at the japanese restaurant, stop lying yuki!”
You knew the air was intense with charles and Lissie being protective of you around pierre and carlos with yuki having zero ideas of the backstory of both you and pierre parting.
“Hello Pierre, Hello Carlos! Fancy seeing both of you here too” you smiled.
“Well i fancy seeing you here, seeing you with radios and scripts attached to you is something i need to get used to looking at” Carlos touched the radio that was attached to your hip
“I’m proud of you, y/n” the sentence that would’ve broken down y/n if she wasn’t right in-front of her friends
“ oh shut up carlos, watch out for me more often in the future gps, don’t fall for me! and thank you pierre, couldn’t have done it without Lissie’s help of course!” Refusing to have the conversation mainly focusing on you, you shifted it to Lissie
After all of the catching up session, you’ve interviewed scuderia alphatauri and you’re thankful that it wasn’t as awkward as you’ve thought it’ll be. Once it was wrapped up, you excused yourself and pack things that were needed to be packed with Lissie.
Things were going smoothly for you for the weekend, avoiding pierre and focusing yourself on the task that was given. Interviews with you was widely loved by fans knowing that you’ve already formed a relationship with 20 of the drivers way before.
Soon after, Lissie and you were separated, you’ll be in charge of games and Lissie does most of the talking interviews. You were being sent to different gps than Lissie, though it bugs you off not being with Lissie, you still couldn’t be more thankful.
You’re finally at the Miami GP, this time with Lissie. God really wasn’t on your side today because, if anyone could have been stucked in a lift with you it has to be kika.
The woman that pierre had his eyes on while being in a relationship with you.
Kika knew of your existence but it takes two hands to clap so you did not really put the 100% blame on her because at the end of the day, pierre’s to be blamed too.
“Love the grey dress on you, y/n! you look really good in it” this shocked you, because this was your ever first conversation with kika herself.
you coughed and thanked her while complementing her outfit too, not really your style but for the sake of being kind, why not…? right?
“I didn’t know about you and pierre” she continued, you were really pissed off at the fact why has no one come to rescue me and her.
you really did not want to have this conversation especially after it took you almost 7 months to fully moved on.
“No worries, old story. Pierre’s much happier with you,yes?” You told her off while taking a seat on the lift floor.
she sat beside you.
“He’s not over it yet y/n, at night when i can’t find him next to the bed with me, he’s in the kitchen scrolling through pictures of you both, i’ve caught him listening to the playlist both of you’ve made too. I don’t blame him y/n, i’m sorry for telling you.”
“Kika….” you were stunned, in the 7 months it took you multiple shifts, late night studying to get rid of pierre on your mind only for it to come back right here right now
“I know you’re much more happier now y/n, but pierre was much happy with you than with me. I’ve noticed during the interview you did with him and yuki, I think that was a sign, you know? He doesn’t call me cherie, because it reminded him of you”
“kika, this is too much for me, let’s just be silent yeah?”
All you ever wanna do right now, is to get back to your hotel room and cry your lungs out
5 mins later, you hear the elevator door open and ding, and there stood in-front of you was the man of honour himself.
“Hey love, you okay?” You thought he went to kika and that was what confirmed it for you until you realised he was in-front of you.
“Pierre….? Kika’s there” you sound confused and pointed to kika
