Im walking around the paddock, after what he said and what the news article said I just need to see him.

"You sure you want to do this?" Tom asks me who is on the other end of the phone call

"Yeah, listen he ignored me ever since that article and listen I'm all good. I'm stronger and more focused then ever, new music on the way and its been weeks since I actually went out and did something and being at a track is one of my favourite things plus after that dream about him im just sure about this" I respond and search around while dodging several engineers, reporters and other personnel

"Are you sure? I mean you said you woke up after mentioning Max, maybe its about him. Have you finally responded to him by the way?"

"No I haven't cause Listen,Max stated that he doesn't want to go public because of his career so I will move on, its his loss honestly. And you know Arthur he's such a cutie" I respond

"The way you described him in your dream didn't seem like Arthur tho, sure the romantic gesture but the rest not really" Tom points out

"I don't care, he was there and not Max, but I will call you back, its really crowded" I say

"Alright, I'll be praying for you" Tom says and I put my phone away

"Dylan Van Hout, would you like to answer a couple of questions" on of skys reporters ask me and I nod

"Hello" I smile at the camera and take the microphone that is handed to me

"It's great to see other famous faces on the paddock, now if you don't mind me asking which Team will you be rooting for?" She asks me, a question I definitely should've prepared

"I ehm, Redbull has been doing incredible lately so im pretty sure we can guess how they are going to finish, but I would like to see the Ferrari up there with them" I answer

"For how long have you been a fan of Formula 1?" The reporter asks me and my mind flashes back to the day I met Theo, the entire day flashing before my eyes

"For a couple of years, I got some friends on the formula 2 and 1 grid, so im just here to show my support" I say after I snap back to reality

"So our last question is, you have been open about your sexuality in your songs which are about being replaced by a girl or making your previous partner jealous or well greedy. After the latest news of a certain driver, how do you think this will change the world of motorsports?" She asks me

"Personally I hope it wont affect it at all, it doesn't matter if a driver has a wife, husband, boyfriend or girlfriend, its the results of their races that matter, people should just accept that not every kind of love looks the same" I respond

"Thank you Dylan, have a good day" she takes back my microphone and I continue searching.

"Oh Charles" I shout as I see him walking towards the Ferrari garage

"Hello there Dylan" he smiles as I approach him "didnt think I'd see you see you so soon after the party" he says as we continue walking

"Neither did I... but hey I got to ask you something"

"Yeah sure what is it?" He responds

"This is going to be awkward but is your little brother here? He's been ignoring all my messages since that article" I ask him and he looks at me concerned

"Why? What do you need him for?" He asks me, his big brother instinct kicking in

"Okay, i don't know how much you and him talk about romantic stuff but at that party he admitted he likes me and I said I needed time but he won't answer me" I admit and he looks me up and down "listen Charles, please if he's here I need to speak to him"
