,,Euphoria
Forever, 'till the end of time
From now on, only you and I
We're going up-up-up-up-up-up-up."

,,Excited for the race?" I asked Lance when we were standing on the start line next to his car.

,,Totally! I mean, I'm starting 8th and I even beated Felipe. I'm feeling really confident and points are really possible. But everything can happen here, because we are on the street circuit after all and we have to be alert on a street circuit," He was happily talking about his expectations, but I wasn't really listening.

,,Drin?"

,,DRIN!" I jerked when his loud voice echoed in my ears.

,,W-what?" I looked at him confused. He pulled me away from other guys to have a little bit privacy.

,,Where are you flying?" he softly asked. I sighed before answering: ,,Today it's been 6 years since that incident," I didn't have guts to say it was a day when I almost died.

,,That...it happened on your birthday?" he blinked few times.

,,Yeah, not the best present in the world," I shrugged looking at the ground. Lance put his fingers under my chin to make an eye contact.

,,Hey, don't think about these negative things. It's raceday, you need to fully focus on what you love. I promise you that I'm gonna do everything for making you happy, ok?"

,,Hey Alex, we need to go!" Joe shouted at me.

,,Just jump into the car and make me proud, ok?" I kissed his cheek and went to Joe.

,,Claire would kill you if she saw that," Joe nudged my shoulder when we were standing in front of our box.

,,It was normal kiss on the cheek, friends are doing this normally. Why should this be a problem?" I raised my eyebrows.
