"Are you sure you can do it, I don't want you to overexert yourself!" Charles said as we were packing our suitcases, it was wednesday which meant we were flying to Belgium for the belgium grand prix in the weekend. "Yes I can do this, it's been two weeks since the surgery, the doctor said when the two weeks are over I could do more things again, so I wanna come" I said insisting. "Alright, but I will keep an eye on you the entire time! your wound still needs to be taken care of and the doctor said you could still be dizzy and nauseous" he said.

"Fine, but I promise I'm good," I said and went to give him a hug. "I know you are, and I know you also are very stubborn. So I won't even fight you on this, even if I think you should stay home until the next one" he said and gave me a kiss on my cheek.

We finished packing our things and drove to Nice airport since Monaco doesn't have one, the drive there was not that long. I didn't feel completely safe in the car, but that is very normal after what happened. But it has helped that I have driven in a few cars since the accident. I think it's better to see your fears in your eyes instead of avoiding them.

After a few hours we arrived in Belgium, which was a country I loved very much. It was my second childhood country, since mom is from here and she has lived here most of my childhood. We drove towards the hotel and checked in, the room was lovely.

Since we arrived late we just ordered some room service and ate our dinner at the hotel.

The day after Charles went to the track alone, since he just had some meetings and a few media duties with Carlos. So there was really no point in me going with him. I stayed at the hotel, where I watched some netflix since I still had to take it easy after surgery.

But I managed to do a few easy workouts since I have missed working out. It felt good but I could really feel the pain in my abdomen when I stretched out.

Charles got back home to the hotel after a few hours, he had bought some lunch for me on the way home, which was just so sweet of him. I ate my lunch and then we just chilled, talked and had fun together..

"Maybe we should post something about what happened, so we don't get tons of questions tomorrow" Charles asked. "Yeah you are right" I said. I went to my instagram and chose a random picture of me from a few weeks ago, then I started to write something..

"What about this?" I asked and showed Charles what I had just written. "That's good," he nodded. He also wrote something, then we posted it. It was a good thing to do since I couldn't handle all the questions tomorrow, but we let everyone know that we didn't want too many questions about it, since its very private and emotional, and something we don't feel like sharing with the entire world.

It was now Friday, which meant we were going to the track for the first two free practices. I was really excited to go back, since it had been so long since the last race week. I have missed everything about it, and so many of the wonderful people around the paddock.
