Y/n didn't wait a moment. She got on the first flight to Austin to meet the drivers there for the next race. She had phoned Charlotte to check where they were all staying and arranged for a room. She must've arrived before the drivers as when she asked there were no check ins yet.

She got hungry and went to the restaurant downstairs. The elevator doors opened and a figure stood in front of her. She froze at the sight of him. Tears welled up in her eyes and she couldn't move. He came closer to her as if in disbelief.

- "Y/n? Are you really here?"

Y/n: I-it's me...

He wrapped his arms tightly around her lifting her slightly off the ground.

Y/n: Charles... I'm so sorry for disappearing.

Charles: Are you kidding. You're here now and that's all that matters. I missed you so much and I'm so glad you're okay!

Y/n: I missed you too... I actually was just getting food. Join me?

Charles: Sorry, I have plans with Pie-

He stopped himself.

Y/n: He's not Voldemort. You can say his name. I actually came to see him too you know...

Charles: Really? So what's your plan?

Y/n: I'd like to talk to him first. I'll see you later. Don't tell everyone I'm here please. I want to be the one to tell.

Charles: You got it. See you later.

She walked past him feeling happier now that she had hugged her 'brother.' He knew she was here and that was what mattered. Once she finished eating she decided to go for a walk. She made her way down the street and saw a person who made her heart beat a little faster. She thought to approach but couldn't. She turned and sped up her pace to get back to the hotel. Had he seen me?

Not knowing why she couldn't approach him she was frustrated more than ever when she reached the room. She needed a drink. She picked up the phone and called someone she could count on.

Max: Tell me I'm not dreaming!

Y/n: Hey Maxi V

Max: Hell I missed you! What's up?

Y/n: Oh nothing much, just wanting to grab a drink only it's my first time in Austin so I'm hoping you can help?

Max: Wait, you're here! Yes! Meet me at the hotel entrance.

She hung up and made her way to the elevator. She heard another door open and saw him again and this time she knew he saw her. She quickly disappeared into the elevator praying the doors closed in time. Suddenly a hand stopped them and the body it belonged to entered before the doors closed fully. She looked up and saw his eyes as blue as ever.

Pierre: Y/n?

He wore a bright smile however it turned to sadness very quickly.

Pierre: H-how have you been?

Y/n: Good... you?

Pierre: Good.

The silence was actually painful and Y/n's thoughts screamed at her. Tell him now Y/n, come on...

Pierre: That was a lie. I'm not good. This past little while has been excruciatingly painful. I can't sleep, focus or race without you. I know you probably still want space given you ran away from me on the street earlier but I just wanted you to know.

The doors opened as the elevator came to a stop and Pierre began walking out but Y/n grabbed his hand.

Y/n: Pierre... I need to tell you so-

Max: -Y/n! I missed yo- oh, hey Pierre... joining us?

Pierre turned to Y/n who gave little expression but attempted a smile and then turned back to Max.

Pierre: Actually I was just going somewhere thanks. See you around.

Y/n sighed as she watched Pierre walk out of the building.

Max: Sorry, didn't realize you were busy.

Y/n: No, it's okay. Let's just go.

They made their way to the bar where Y/n was greeted by a very friendly face.

Daniel: Summers I'd be damned if someone told me you'd be here right now.

Y/n: DANNY! I missed you.

Max: I had to tell him. We're our own little trio and I wasn't going to miss this opportunity.

Y/n: I'm glad you told him. I get to spend time with Maxiel. That's a major bonus!

They all laughed as she winked at the boys. It wasn't until the third round that they decided it was enough and they would get going.

Max: We could stay if you want.

Y/n: I don't have to drive a race car tomorrow but you do, so best we get going.

Max: Always so considerate. By the way, what's going to happen between you and Pierre? And what actually happened?

The entire vibe disappeared as his name entered the air. Y/n thought about her encounter with him earlier and what he had said...

Y/n: He hasn't told you? Then I best not either... and for now I don't know what will happen... I'll have to see. Anyway night guys. See you at the track tomorrow.

She entered her room and closed the door. Once she was ready for bed she noticed a message she must've missed while she was out.

❤️

Glad you're back. Can we talk?

I wanted to ask the same thing

How about we meet tomorrow? Say after practice?

I'd like that.

Okay, see you at AT tomorrow xx

Yip

She was finally going to be able to talk to him. She was nervous about it but was relieved that he also wanted to talk. Maybe things won't be as difficult as I thought...
