*George starts crying and you quickly put your arms around him, pulling him into a hug*

Y/n: You did not George. You did not kill her

*He wraps his arms tight around you and puts his face in your neck. His tears meet your skin*

George: It was me who kept telling her to do it... If I didn't... Then she would still be alive...

Y/n: No George. Don't think like that... It wasn't your fault. You didn't know there was electricity on the car

*He's breathing heavily and you try to calm him down by holding him close to you and petting his hair*

George: I should've known... I fucking should've known

*You hold him for a while, trying to find the right words. But there are no right words. The silence is the only right thing*

*Slowly you let him go for a bit, so you can look at him. But he immediately avoids looking into your eyes*

*You lift up his head, so he has no choice but to look at you*

Y/n whispers: It's not your fault George. It was an accident... An accident no one could've prevented... You didn't kill her. It were the circumstances that killed her

*He shakes his head*

George: It was me...

Y/n: You have to get that out of your head. It was not you. It was the electricity. The respond of the human body of it. And the place you were at. Not you

*George closes his eyes*

George: I...

*You remove some of his tears*

Y/n: It was not your fault. Believe me...

George: It just hurts so fucking much... Living every day with it... Seeing the same car that killed her every time... I can't forget about it....

Y/n whispers: So that's why the soulmate pain appeares every time before you have to go on the track...

George: Yes, that's the reason...

*George keeps crying for a while and you hold him all this time*

*You two lay against each other and the silence fills the room*

Y/n whispers: What happened after the accident?

George: Jost had already received a notification that something was moving inside the factory, so he had already driven up there. He was inside the factory and saw Anna falling down...

*You remain silent*

George: He ran up to me, asking what happened. I told about the electricity of the car. He knew that if the story would be discovered by the press, Williams and me would be destroyed

George: So he covered everything up

Y/n: And Anna?

George: The family was told she died due a heart attack and had a one side car crash because of it. Willaims made me sign a contract. I had to keep it silent. Forever. For the sake of the company and me

Y/n: Oh no George...

George: It's bad... I know it...

Y/n: How long ago did it happen?

George: A year ago...

Y/n: And you had no one to talk to...?

George: Only Jost and Aleix knew about it. Everyone else thinks I had a kind of burnout, but it was only an excuse for me to not appear on media events

Y/n: How could they let you live like this...? Carrying this story and feeling of guilt everywhere you went... It's terrible...

George: I'm used to it now... It actually feels kind of weird that you know the truth as well...

Y/n: I'm glad you told me George. I really am
