you had known the leclerc brothers since young. you grew up with them all.

you were always closest to arthur as he was only 2 years older while charles was 5 and lorenzo was 13…

now, you were 22. you were studying psychology at the university of monaco while charles was a ferrari f1 driver and arthur was a reserve driver. lorenzo was a married man now to his wife charlotte.

charles was in love with his girlfriend, alexandra. and arthur..

you and arthur had been in what teenagers would call a “talking stage.” you two had kissed and spent a lot of time together or texting when you couldn’t be together. it was clear you two really liked one another which made his whole family happy.

this weekend, arthur told you he was on a business trip to cannes. you didn’t think much of if as you had a lot of school work to do.

however on monday, you went to charles’ and alexandra’s apartment, where arthur also lived, to dogsit charles’ miniature dachshund puppy, leo, as him and alexandra were going out for dinner.

they were getting ready and arthur would be back in an hour — he had been sending you cute texts like:

[arth💓] miss you so much!!

[arth💓] can’t wait to see youuu

you were sat on the sofa, scrolling on your phone with leo in your lap when you see it. a photo of him and his ex, jade, at the airport…

he ended it with jade a few months back, it was messy. she blocked him and cheating rumours flew around. he told you it was over and for your mental sanity, you hoped they met to just talk it out and end it fully.

you swallow the lump in your throat. you were really falling for arthur. jade looked gorgeous meanwhile you were here in some sweatpants and a hoodie.
