╰┈➤ September of 2019,
in Monza 🇮🇹
After last weekend, things got a bit better. The air was still not back to normal, obviously it wasn't never going to be. But slowly everyone will get better about the loss.
"I believe we won't need much therapy during this week neither after. Your shoulder seems to have improved a lot, specially with the training on the summer break (between Hungary and Belgium)." he nods and we finish the session. There's a few days left before the race, but he has indeed improved a lot, if he wins this weekend, it will my confirmation that he doesn't need my help anymore. After that I'll go back to working for only Mercedes and I'll stay away from Charles as much as possible...

next ꕤ day
"Hey thank you for agreeing on coming."
"No big deal, I've missed going out for a coffee with you Lewis."
"So tell me, any news on your drama with your ex and now patient." he chuckles.
"Very funny Hamilton. But no, we still keep a strictly professional relationship." I sigh and Lewis looks at me worried "If he ends up winning this Sunday, I'll give him greenlight. I don't know why it's bothering me, but it is... I mean I shouldn't, I was the one that broke up with him years ago and I was the one that asked him to keep his distance... I don't know, I feel lost." Lewis listens to me "Am I even allowed to feel sad? After everything I did... I just, I want to disappear from here. I also want to quit this job, it was never my real passion anyways."
"Well you are an amazing therapist, but indeed, you should do what makes you happy. About Charles, wait for the result on the Sunday, after that if you give him greenlight, disappear for a while and try to think about what you feel and put your mind in the right place. And if you truly want to change job, I have connections here. You can also talk with your dad." he winks at the end.
"Thanks Lewis... As much as I don't like that, I think I will give in this time." he nods and smiles "And I think the getaway think might be the right thing for me to do." we continue to talk about everything and cracking jokes about diverse topics. Lewis is my best friend, I can talk with him about everything, he understands me and won't judge me for my decisions nor my feelings. He knows about my situation with Charles ever since it happened. At the time that I moved back with my father, I met Lewis and we immediately clicked. He is like a brother to me, I would do anything for him and I know he would do the same.

race ꕤ day
"You're ready. Good luck on the race Mr.Leclerc." I get ready to leave, but Charles grabs my wrist
"I know this is probably not the right time and that I should've had this conversation earlier, but- I can't-" I cover his mouth stopping him from talking.
"Win the race, we'll talk after." he nods and goes to his car. I will watch the race from the Ferrari garage, I'm not sure if I will stay after... but I want him to stay motivated, so I had to tell him that.
Charles was amazing on the race. No one could stop him. Mercedes tried with both drivers to stop him, but it was useless, Charles was much faster. I've never seen him drive like this, not even last week, it was somehow different. As the race was one lap left I stare at the screen tearing up, I couldn't help but be in that state. As he crosses the finish line I grabbed my stuff and leave hearing in the background:
"He wins in Spa, he wins in Monza!!!" he did it... Two times in a row... I was beyond proud of him. But I have to leave now.

I won! I freaking won! I watched as the Ferrari fans screamed in joy and I couldn't help but scream as well. I went to celebrate and take the trophy and it was simply the best sensation in the whole world. The passion from the fans, it was so intense that it left me speechless and tearing up. It was a sensation out of the world. The whole race I thought of winning the race as soon as possible so I could go talk with Val. I noticed that she has been even more distant lately. Also the fact that my shoulder has gotten better, means that she will eventually give me a greenlight and I will be 'discharged', so I want to clear things between us once and for all.
After a long celebration I was finally in the garage ready to change and talk with Val, before another party later. I get to the garage and can't find her anywhere, I ask around and I find out that she left right after me crossing the line. I get upset, perhaps disappointed, I didn't expect her to leave like this... I go to my changing room, and see a paper in my seat.
"Congrats on the win Charles, I knew you were capable of it! This is your greenlight. You're officially not stuck with me anymore. You won't find me in the paddock for a while either since I am taking a break. I know I said I would stay here and wait for you talk about what you wanted to say earlier, but if I did, I wouldn't have been able to leave. It was great reconnect with you, believe it or not. You are a great guy no matter what happened in the past. I hope you continue to win for many more races and will achieve the title of world champion soon. It's a goodbye, at least for now. The best of luck, Valentina."
At least this time she said something... Pathetic... Why does she do this every time! Every time things appear to get better, she just vanishes! I was about to make things clear for us, but she didn't even gave me the chance to do that!
"Please come back Val... Don't leave me again..."
