Max had been "alone" for what seemed to be a while, but in reality it had been 8 years, you had been studying abroad for a while and he was following his career, so both of you decided to take time mainly break up the relationship as soon as it was starting, you both had been friends since childhood and as soon as the plan to make the relationship official the plan both had made for the future quickly got in the way so that led to the ending of the recent relationship.

It wasn't hard to "forget" about each other, but the need to be with the other still was there, Max found it tough, he made a promise to himself to not change or enough to make you still be in love with him but it had been 4 years since the last time you saw each other, when you graduated from university, he was invited to the after party you wanted to throw it was mostly a closed friends party, some college friends with their friends and you with Max after that it became hard to contact each other he had a busy schedule and you didn't but still prefered to fraction the time you had to do some selfcare or just getting into bed and either read or binge a series.

You were of course proud of him, he had made such a impact on his career the last years, you were a Manager Graphic Designer for a big company which helped you get enough income to have your own home and everything that you needed in it, you had the time to watch Max's races and celebrate his wins but you were way too shy to speak with him again after the many years, he was also scared of texting or calling yo, he was scared to call and hear the news that you had moved on with your life and maybe was pregnant, or married. You weren't. But the fact of thinking of it made him sick to have let you go so easily and not fight for what you had, which at some point of your lives the thought of it being a "young love" was in your minds but after 8 years it seemed almost impossible to just be that, especially after both had tried to start a love life again but failed miserably.

And here was Max, looking at his phone in his hotel room, he had just arrived from the club after winning the last race of the season making him third time world champion, it was a thrill for him... which meant that he was drunk, not thinking properly, which happened from time to time when he was drunk, he always meant to call you when he was drunk and even when he was sober but something about that seemed such a perfect moment he didn't want to wait any longer as it seemed to be time to end the wait, the silent room was filled with the sound of the phone ringing as it dialed the phone number under your name, he didn't know if it even was your number still but he had to try.

"Max?" Your voice echoed through the room, you had waken up by the ringing in the middle of the night.

"hi..." He laughed, you sighed and massaged your eyes.

"what's wrong Max?" You asked, he sighed and laid down in his bed.

"I miss you, that's what's wrong..." He responded.

"honey, it's 3 am, can we do this some other time?" You asked, he smiled, after all this time you were still as sweet.

"you're still as sweet and calm as always." He spoke. "I truly miss you." You sighed and laid back down on the bed.

"are you drunk, Max?" You asked, and by the amount of silence coming his was you decided yo accept that he was in fact drunk-calling you in the middle of the night. "congratulations on the win." You spoke, he smiled, you felt your heart and mind feel at peace knowing he was there still, not the fact that he was drunk.
