*Max sighs*

Max: I know... I just...

Y/n: George isn't all bad Max. You know that. He has to have a good heart to be one of your close friends.

Max: He has, but something changed him. I don't know what

Y/n: Trust me, he has been hurt back then. Not just a little. He suffered a lot, so it's no wonder he has taken some distance from you all

Max: He told you what happened?

Y/n: He did... He told me this afternoon

Max: This afternoon?

*You know you have to explain so many more things, so you sit down on the chair again*

Y/n: Yes, this afternoon

Max: But..? Wasn't he here at the track?

*Max moves to the couch and sits down opposite you*

Y/n: He was, but he came to see me between free practice three and qualifying. To see how I was doing after my panic attack from last night

Max: Wait, so last night you also ran towards him because he's your soulmate?

Y/n: He was the first one who appeared in my mind after I couldn't reach out to you. But I didn't lie to you Max. It was also the only person I knew the room number of

Max: No, it's fine. I'm just trying to understand

Y/n: I know I should've told you earlier, but I was so scared to tell you

Max: Never be scared of me. Yes, I would yelled at you, like I just did, but I just have to process all of it

Y/n: I know

Max: So he told you the story? After only knowing you for two weeks? Why hasn't he told us yet? His second family?

Y/n: He can't Max. He's trapped

Max: Trapped?

Y/n: He had to sign a contract for his silence. He's never going to be able to share his story

Max: But he did with you...?

Y/n: Because Pierre gave him the advice to tell me

Max: Should've seen that one coming. He's a good friend of George

Y/n: So yeah, trust me when I say I understand why he has been off the couple of last months. It hasn't been easy for him...

*The door suddenly opens and Alex steps into the room*

Alex: I'm sorry to bother you two, but I forgot my headphone in here

*He points at the desk and gets it quickly*

Alex: Everything alright in here?

Y/n: Uhm yeah

Alex: Max?

Max: Yes, it's fine

Alex: I get a weird vibe from you both. And that's not because I just heard both of you shouting at each other. No. You two just look... Confused?
