On Saturday morning, Tony was waiting in front of Clay's house. Excited, Clay ran down the stairs.

„I'm on the road with Tony", he said to his parents and opened the front door. His heart hopped in his chest as he saw Tony's car. He quietly closed the door, took a deep breath and tried to walk towards Tony as normal as possible.

They spent the whole Saturday together. Went to Monet's, walked around and talked. Most of the time, however, they simply drove around and listened to tapes. Clay stared at him sometimes, hoping Tony would not notice. So far he didn't notice it.

As the sun went down, Tony dropped him in front of his house and drove away. He scrambled up the stairs to the front door and looked after the red Mustang until it disappeared. He smiled and opened the door, to find his parents on the couch, waiting for him.

„How was it?" His mom asked.

„Good. I'm pretty tired so I'll shower and then sleep, "he stammered embarrassed and ran upstairs.  He took a shower and crawled into bed afterwards.

He wondered why he had been so excited and why he couldn't stop staring at Tony. For a while he thought about these things until he fell asleep slowly.

The next day he woke up. His shirt was sweaty. He had a nightmare. He quickly grabbed the phone and opened the chat with Tony. They didn't text until now. He changed his mind. It might be better if he just drove to Tony and see if he's alright.

Quickly, he got dressed, grabbed his bicycle and drove to the other part of town - to Tony.
