"Dylan, welcome to our show. We all have been keeping an eye on you since your latest release. Tell us, how do you think your song writing has improved until it turned into this song" the host says, the lights shining at me

"Well... it just evolved I guess. I wrote a lot of sad songs during a time of my life where life was going great... I wrote this one flooded with emotion which is clearly noticeable in the lyrics and Id also say my voice is filled with what I was feeling at the moment." I respond, looking at the big crowd staring at us on the stage as I hold on the the armrest.

"So in the song you are talking about a boy who chose a girl over you, is that a situation you were in or was it just for the sake of having a story behind the song?" He asks me and I take a deep breath

"It's coming from personal experience, but I hope I've learned from it, so I will have some more upbeat songs coming out soon" I tell and put that information out in the public

"So is there a possible album release soon?"

"At some point yeah, might wanna keep an eye out on a little surprise soon tho" I hint at a new song Tom and I have been working on. "It's a new sound, im going for that post insecurity type of direction to show people that there is always a positive side to situations" I smile and get an applause from the crowd

"Thank you very much for being here, I hope to speak to you soon. Everyone a big applause for Dylan Van Hout

I wave to the crowd as I leave the stage

"That was great, see you got everything under control" Tom says proud as I walk straight towards the bathroom behind him and start vomiting

"Oh fuck" Tom groans not amused by the sigh

After throwing up a couple of times I get up, wipe my mouth with toilet paper and flush it down

"You alright there?" He asks worried

"I don't know how im gonna do that formula 1 event, I'm not confident at all how do I perform a song like that?" I say overwhelmed taking the bottle of water that Tom hands to me

"You wrote the song, so you feel that way on the inside somehow" he tries to talk it good, I take out my phone. My face lights up immediately seeing a message from him.

We chatted back an forth for a week and a half now, He gave me this boost of self confidence I had writing my next song, but that confidence is fading, I was lucky to have payed Theo the stuff he gave me but it's still fucked up, knowing he chose her over me...

Nice Track guy🏎️:
Just saw you live on tv! Can't wait
to hear your song, is there a way
that I can get a little preview?

Not really, howeverI can tell
you that you will hear it in 4 days

4 days? Damn I'm gonna be at the
Formula 1 summer break party...
I wish I could see it live

Theres no way you are going
to the party, I will be performing
there! Any way we can see each-other
Before we need to show up there?

Maybe... depends if I need to do
something beforehand, it would be
Lovely to see you again tho

We can always just meet up
and talk at the event, if you want...

Yeah absolutely!
I gotta go now, I got an appointment
I will speak to you later bye

Have fun!

I put my phone away and notice Tom staring at me squinting his eyes

"Who is this person you have been talking to, you are so distracted lately" he asks me

"Just some guy I met at Spa, he has been giving me the inspiration to write the album" I keep it short and detail free

"What do you two talk about? Formula 1?" He asks me and I shake my head

"He was there when I just cut things off with Theo and he's been boosting my self confidence since that day" I explain

"So whats mystery guys name? What does he do for a living?" Tom asks me but I realised that I barely know anything about him

"I... I have no idea" I respond

"So you have been talking with someone you don't even know the name off? Did you never ask about his life?" Tom asks me worried

"I did but he doesn't want to talk about it" I try and take his side but it's not easy when I got no clue who im talking to

"Its kind of suspicious, are you sure he isn't some spy or crazy fan? Maybe a scammer? You saw what he looks like im sure you can find him on the internet" Tom says, concerned about the situation

We continue to walk out of the place, to my car

"Well, I did see him... but I was to much of an emotional wreck to examine him... he just had beautiful blue eyes"

"Oh my god Dylan" he answers disappointed

"Listen i will see him at that Formula 1 event, I'll get his name there trust me"

"Whatever you say, just don't get your hopes up again, I don't want to see you heartbroken again, especially since you're new sound is really catchy" Tom says

"Don't you worry about that, I'm not falling for him. I'm gonna focus on myself, I can't deal with another man for a bit after Theo" I chuckle and get behind the wheel

"You sure you are safe to drive? You just threw up in the toilet" Tom asks worried

"It was just the stress, im fine really" I tell him while I put on my seatbelt

"You better not throw up at the Formula 1 party, I can't have you throw up after every performance"

"I won't, I just need some time to get my mind sorted" I explain and start driving while Tom put on some music

"I guess you can already practice your new song" he chuckles playing my upcoming song

" 'Cant you tell that I want you' I said 'yeah' I would want myself, baby please believe me" we sing together while I drop him off at his place before driving myself home

"So sure of yourself, baby don't get greedy" I hum as I make my way to the front door and get inside of the house, already smelling the food my mum is making

"So when are we allowed to hear this new song of yours?" My dad asks as he Sees me entering the kitchen

"I'm not allowed to share it yet, I will sing it live for the first time on Saturday, it will definitely be recorded an released on youtube shortly after" I tell them and sit down at the already set table

"We will wait until its out" my mum says and put the food on the table

"I can't wait for you to hear it" I say excited, but my mind is already wandering off to seeing him again... fuck...
