Hidden Connection | Season One

Part 84 - Vulnerable

Y/n: I know... Sometimes it's just hard to forget about everything. It's hard to move on

Max: Just know that it's okay to cry sometimes. You don't have to be strong all the time. In the end we'll all snap

*You stay quiet and listen to the heavy silence in between you*

*Of course you know it's okay to cry, but what if you already cried too much? That you're not capable of crying anymore?*

Y/n: I hate the feeling of being vulnerable

Max: But you can't be the bigger person all the time, Y/n. Sometimes you have to give that role to someone else

Y/n: Easier said than done

Max: Very true, but don't rely too much on the bigger person inside of you. You have to show the vulnerable one as well

*A cough sounds through the little room*

Erin: I'm sorry to interrupt, but I have to take Y/n with me to go to the interview

Max: Yes, of course, no problem at all...

*You look at Max and notice a gloss in his eyes. He got emotional because of the conversation*

*He gets up from the couch and so do you from the chair*

*He gives you a strong hug*

Max whispers: It's okay Y/n. We will talk later

*You nod*

Y/n: Thanks Max

*Then you turn around and walk over to Erin*

*Silently you walk with Erin outside. When you're standing in the fresh air, you take a deep breath*

*Okay, there we go. The interview with Ziggo Sport*

Erin: May I ask you something?

Y/n: Of course. Go ahead

Erin: Did I notice it well, that Max was almost cyring back there?

Y/n: Truthfully, I think he almost did

Erin: What happened?

Y/n: Well, that's a weird story

Erin: We still have to walk all the way to the other side of the paddock. Do you want to share the story?

Y/n: Yeah, why not...? I guess...?

Erin: Don't feel pressured to tell me. If you want to share it, feel able to share it with me. But if you don't want to, it's also okay. Do whatever feels right to you

Y/n: No, I would like to share it Erin. I know I can trust you.

Erin: I'll keep it a secret and swear to never talk about it with anyone without your permission

*You laugh a bit*

Y/n: It's okay Erin. I know you'll keep it a secret

Erin: So what happened?

Y/n: Well, we got into a fight after I accidentally told him about having soulmate pain. And let's say that he put me under pressure to tell me who my soulmate is. So, we fought and in the end I snapped at him about George being my soulmate...

*Erin stands still and looks at you with big eyes*

Erin: Wait. Max knows? How did he react?

Y/n: Not too well... He shouted at me and kept telling me that George was no good

Erin: Oh sweetie...

Y/n: So yeah, that was that. After the interruption of Alex, we talked quite serious with each other and I think that conversation made him a bit emotional

Erin: And how are you feeling?

Y/n: Still confused about everything... There is just so much going on in my mind

Erin: If you don't feel like doing the interview, it's also okay. Then I'll make up an excuse

Y/n: No, it's okay. Let's just get over with it

Erin: Okay then...
