PITBABE: Alan x Jeff ( PIT STOP ROMANCE ) ABO

JEFF

Today is the most awaited day in my life! I am finally going for an interview in my dream company. I hope I somehow get into it. After all, who wouldn't like Ferrari? All of my friends will be proud of me for this. 

I have prepared thoroughly, yet I am scared. My hands shiver from the moment I start talking.

Charlie:
Don't worry and just try your best. You can also try PitPro if you didn't get a chance there!

Me:
Stop demotivating me just before I leave!

Charlie:
Why are you blaming me? I just said that you have a backup plan.

Me:
I don't want to use any influence to get into a job, unlike you.

Charlie sighs, looking at me. He looks disappointed, but I am telling him the truth! I don't want to get anywhere with someone else's help. I have been trained to become a mechanic for almost 3 years at my university. Why should it all go unused? 

And how can I face my co-workers if they come to know that I got the job by mere recommendation?  They might think that I am not very talented much. But that is not even the issue for me. I am talented enough to land at any job I want, unlike Charlie.

I am not blaming Charlie for anything. But he is where he is now because of his boyfriend, Babe. I don't hate him just because he is the opponent of Ferrari, but also because of the way he treats my brother, Charlie. He never asks for Charlie's opinion, nor does he stand up for him if something injustice happens. He may win as a racer, but not as a boyfriend.

Charlie:
Can I come by to drop you?

Me:
Thanks, but I can go by myself.

Charlie:
I know you can go by yourself. But I just want to be there for you. Please?

Me:
Mmm... Are you taking a leave for me?

Charlie:
Of course. If not for you, why would I take leave?

Charlie is the type of brother who shows too much affection towards me. And it is needless to say ever since our parents died. Ever since that incident, Charlie filled the place for my parents. I have never missed them in the past 20 years, thanks to Charlie.

I get why Charlie is like this. He thinks that he has to take care of me. But I don't want him to worry so much about me and just focus on his own life. He is almost the same age as me, yet he feels obliged to parent me. That is one of the reasons why I have to speak rudely to him at times. 

I agreed with him to come with me so that he would think that I was not avoiding him. He gets upset if I don't agree with him and I try my best not to have any quarrels between us.

----- (After 5 hours) -----

Charlie:
You came! How did it go.

Me:
How can it go well if you demotivated me just before we leave?

Charlie:
Stop blaming me for everything that happens! It is nobody's fault that you didn't get trained here. Let's see what we have to do next instead of trying to blame someone it for this. Can we?

I was already pissed that I didn't get the internship offer here and Charlie only made it worse. He was the one who bad-mouthed just before leaving and it stayed in my mind for a while. It is just so frustrating now. It is my dream for 10 years after all. No one can understand how it hurts. I cannot get another chance for interview there as well. 

It is not like one-to-one interview. I simply had to fix the mechanical parts of the car and revive it well. I did all my tasks well, but three of them were ahead of me. Of course, they were all well-trained already. How can a fresher like me compete with the ones who have already got experience? It is just unfair for them to conduct such a thing with all types of people collaborated. 

But... IT IS THE FERRARI! Of course they are gonna choose the best in everything. 
I wish I have a time machine and get to stop time. But it is not a fairytale I am living in.

I left out a deep breath and sat down on the stairs. Charlie sat besides me and threw his hands on my shoulder.

Charlie:
It is okay. You can still get trained at some other companies and get placed here.

I know that. That is my only hope now. I am going to get interned at some secondary companies and after few years, I will come here again and try until I succeed. I am not going to let myself leave such a great company.
