As if | Max Verstappen

57

There was a knock on my hotel door so I went and opened it without a single thought in my head.

"is it true" Max said and stepped into my hotel room.

"yes that's true" I replied, immediately knowing what he was referring to.

"is that why you didn't talk to me?"

"I knew how you would react and no that's not the only reason"

"you know i love you liefje but you make a mistake i know you will regret it"

"can we stop talking about the contract now maxie? i already feel bad about it"

"when we talked before about you getting rid of the problem, I didn't mean that we were going to break up and I understand that it came out wrong"

he came over and gave me a hug and then we sat down on the couch. I noticed he had no intention of dropping the subject so I sighed and let him ask questions. most of the questions were if I was sure I made the right choice and I answered honestly that I knew I wasn't. after he had received answers to his questions, he suggested that we should order food.

it wasn't more than 10 minutes after Max had stormed into my room before there was another knock on my door. I was surprised that the food had arrived so quickly so I hurried and opened it.

"Belle"

"George.. what are you doing here"

"we have to talk"

"Max is in here so if you're not going to kill him you're welcome in"

he stepped in after a few uncertain seconds and his whole body was stiff. when Max saw that George had arrived he sat up straight but there was an underlying note that he didn't like my brother being here.

I went to the sofa and sat down in the middle, partly to avoid the boys sitting next to each other but also because that place was the most comfortable. George didn't check Max which wasn't surprising. my brother sat down and it took a while before he started talking.

"will you leave at the end of the season"

"yes it looks like it"

"why?"

"because I can't handle the hate and it's not fun when my own brother and my best friend don't even look my way"

"you can't stop this is your dream bells"
