*After wishing your brother good luck, you watch the race at a screen in the garage*
*You know you made the right decision to leave tonight, but why does it hurt so much?*
Alex: It's crazy how Max is able to drive away that easily again, right?
*You look next to you and see Alex standing*
Y/n: Yeah, it is
*Your eyes look at the names on the screen. George is still fighting for his first points for the team*
Y/n: I really hope George can keep up this pace. He deserves those first points
*Alex nods*
Alex: He does, but I don't know if he'll be able to keep the AlphaTauri's behind him. Their car is way better
*Together with Alex you watch the entire race*
*Normally the race flies by, but this one feels like it's in slowmotion. Every second that ticks by, is a second closer to telling Max you're going to leave earlier*
*The team and crowd start yelling as Max crosses the finish line as first. Your stomach hurts and you look at the finishing places*
*George just missed out on his first point... He finished eleventh...*
Alex: Aren't you happy? Max won!
*You smile*
Y/n: Of course! I'm just feeling bad for George
Alex: Don't worry, he'll get there. He'll get his first points within no time. Trust me
*You nod and smile at Alex*
*Together with the team, you walk to the podium, where Max, Lewis and Lando will receive their trophies*
*Max climbs out of the car and runs towards the team and you*
*He gives you a really tight hug because of his happiness*
Y/n: Congratulations! You did it again!
Max: I did it!
*Then he moves on to Christian and Helmut to celebrate the win*
*Next to you, you see Lando walking up to his team as well, filled with joy*
*You smile and think back of your conversation earlier. You told him you hoped to see him up on the podium today*
*And he got there*
*He fucking did*
*During the Dutch anthem, Lando looks down at you and nods*
*It's his way of telling you he made your wish come true*
*You smile and nod back*
*After the ceremony, all the drivers have left to go to the interviews, so you walked back to the Treehouse*
*Waiting in the room of Max. Waiting for him to arrive*
*After forty-five minutes, the door opens*
Max: Wait. Huh? You're here? I thought you were with Erin?
Y/n: No, I'm not. I was waiting for you. Good job back there!
Max: Thanks! I'm happy we achieved it with the team again. The car, the strategy, everything was at their best today
*You smile proudly at your brother as you see his enthusiasm. You made the right choice. Leaving is the best option.
*He should be happy like this all the time. He shouldn't be worrying about you*
Y/n: You're a lucky guy to be a member of this team, you know that?
Max: I really am
*Max takes a better look at you*
Max: Hey, are you okay? What's going on?
*You laugh a little, because of this sudden switch*
Y/n: Can't I just be happy for you?
Max: Of course you can, but there is a gloss in your eyes. Tell me, what's going on
*You look at your hands and take a deep breath*
Y/n: And again you look right through me...
