When we all fall asleep, where do we go?

11. ilomilo

calm.

Mick hasn't felt this calm in a long time, he had now told his family about his relationship and they were fine with it, all he had ever asked for. They supported him 100%.

Now Callum and him had only one call to make. Call to Callum's parents. Mick noticed that Callum's was almost falling into pieces because of the stress. He tried to calm himself down before making the call. Mick helped him as much as he could.

And then it happened, Mick was listening a little farther. Callum chatted with his parents and sister. Then he took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a second. Looked at Mick and with his eyes told him to sit next to him.

Mick heard the words. "guys, here's my boyfriend Mick." Mick smiled at them and said "hey!". Mick looked at the faces of the other boys parents. They looked confused. "I, Callum I didn't know you like... boys?" It was getting uncomfortable for both of them, Callum and Mick.

"uh yeah I do." The Brit said and tried to smile. Mick didn't have any idea were they supportive or not. His parents kept quiet. Until Mick heard a pretty voice. It was his sister. "hey Callum, it's okay I'm proud of you. Welcome to the family Mick! I hope Callum treats you well, if he doesn't I'll kill him." She smiled. "oh only if you knew." Mick laughed.

After Callum's parents solved their thoughts his dad said "yeah, we're proud of you. Both of you are welcomed to visit us after the season. Good luck to the last two races Mick. We'll be watching you!" All of them smiled. "thank you, I love you all." Callum said.

Quickly after that, the call was done.
Mick was laying on the bed, Callum inside his arms. The older Brit had a little smile on his face.

Callum looked like he had somethings his mind. "what are you thinking about?" "we should go on a date?" he heard a small voice kinda asking. "we should, it's been ages." Mick softly responded.

Oh how Mick loved going to a date with Callum, there was something. There was the shyness. Which felt like shyness between 2 teenage boys secretly being in love with each other. It felt magical. And Mick loved it. So much.

Mick carefully picked out his clothes while singing one of his favourite songs. Callum was taking a shower. Mick could write a book about his life right now. Romanticizing every single thing. How his little boyfriend is taking a shower, before going on to a date after successfully coming out to their parents.

Mick got dressed, brushed his teeth. Watching himself from the mirror thousand thoughts on his head. He has forgotten about the nightmare. Everything was fine. Callum is here and he'll always be.

"Micky, you ready?" Callum yelled from the other side of the hotel room. "yup Cally I am!" He quickly responded. This would be another magical night with Callum.

Or that's what he thought.

They were both ready to go. Apparently Callum was driving because he was a better driver. However, they were now listening their favourite songs. Sharing couple kisses on the way.

Then after one shared kiss everything went black. Mick's head was hurting like a bitch. His ears were ringing. He couldn't see correctly. He didn't know what was going on.

Then he heard the sirens. Everything after that was gone from his mind.

He woke up from uncomfortable bed, the lights were deadly bright. All the walls were minty coloured or either bright white.

He was in hospital. Why? He panicked. He couldn't see Callum anywhere near. He needed someone. That moment he felt like maybe it was a lie. Maybe Callum has left him.

He tried to get up but didn't really succeed in it. Then he saw that light red button next to him. He pressed it. Of course he did. He needed someone into the room right now.

Then somebody opened the door, short, dark haired nurse. "you needed help, what's wrong?" The nurse asked calmly.

Mick remembered it was illegal to be gay in the UAE. fucking hell. "where's my bo- best friends, yeah where's my best friend? Same height as me, almost orange hair, kinda dirty blonde or fucking whatever where's he? Callum Ilott. We were together in the car crash, he was driving."

The nurse looked almost overwhelmed. "uhm, sir I'm not sure I- I'll go ask someone they'll know."

Fucking thank god. Then he heard a familiar voice yelling something like "WHERE IS HE I NEED TO MEET HIM RIGHT NOW, MICK SCHUMACHER." It was Robert.

Oh boy.

"sorry I can't tell you if you aren't a family member."

Mick looked at the nurse, she was still there. "hey um, could you let the guy in the hall in. I wanna meet him right now." The nurse nodded and walked away.

It didn't even take a minute and Robert was already in the room. "Mick, don't you dare ever again. I got a call from your sister. She can't come rn she's in the states. She'll be here with your mum next week. Oh and ur mum can't either come bec-" Robert couldn't finish. "Let me guess because of dad." "Correct."

"I told Marcus as fast I could he's here as well tryna find Callum. He almost passed out when I told him ya dumbasses got into a car accident." Mick tried to laugh but it hurt. "Go find him, take him here. They won't tell him anything about Callum. Even I don't know anything and I was in the crash with him."

And that's what Robert did, after few minutes Mick was there in a hospital room surrounded with all kinda hospital stuff and god all that shit made him anxious but Robert and Marcus was there and it was the only thing that made him feel better.

"do you have any information about Callum? They didn't tell me." Marcus said and looked tired. "They won't tell me anything and it's killing me yk. I already feel so uncomfortable here. Why did we even kiss while he was fucking driving." The German said quietly. He was so exhausted.

Robert didn't know about their relationship but at this point he was just happy for them and hoped they would be both fine and out of hospital.

"hey, um Schumacher Mick, right?" A nurse came into the room and asked. "yea, I am."
"Well we have news about your best friend Ilott Callum. He is currently in coma, but we'll try to wake him up as soon as we can. You're free to go home tomorrow."

Mick didn't know what to do, he would die if he couldn't be by Callum's side when he wakes up but he didn't want to miss the race. God shake. He had to decide.

"Mick, what are u going to do?" Marcus asked quietly. "I, I'm not sure. I don't really know." "Mick, Callum is the most important person in your life right now, he'll get a heart attack if you're not here, you know they can't tell him anything. I know you love racing as much any of us does but you need to be here. Mick it'll mean the world to Callum." Robert whispered trying to get Mick to make the right decision.

"well, it's Pietro's time to shine. I trust him. He'll race alongside Nikita."

little did they know, pietro wasn't allowed to race
