*Lando wants to react, but Max jumps quickly in between, catching the punch of Lando in his face*

*Lando and George immediately stop*

Max: See! This is why I need both of you to stay away from her! She already has her own shit and you two fighting over her doesn't help! One talk! I'll give you both one talk with my sister and then it's over! Then you'll both give my sister the space she needs to deal with her problems. She doesn't need your problems as well!

*George and Lando keep looking angry at each other*

Max: Stop it you two! You're not going to ruin years of friendship over my sister! Yes, she might be amazing, but you're friendship is more worth!

*Lando's face expression softens*

Lando: He's right George...

George: He is, but I can't get over the fact you kissed Y/n

Lando: It just happened okay?

George: Oh, like how? Your lips landed accidently on hers?

Max: I don't even want to hear this about Y/n

Lando: No, they did not

George: Then tell me. Who made the first move? Who?

*Lando looks at the floor*

Lando: I did...

George: That's all I need to know. See you at the truck of the drivers parade guys

*George turns around and walks away*

*Lando sighs and shakes his head*

Lando: Things got really messy...

Max: No shit, Sherlock Holmes

*Max looks one more time at Lando and decides to walk away as well*

*Lando stares outside for a while, until Carlos walks over to him*

Carlos: Mate, what happened back here? We could hear you shouting back in the room

Lando: I messed up...

Carlos: Oh no, what did you do?

*Lando explains shortly what happened with Max here in the hallway, while the other drivers stayed in the room*

Carlos: Mamma Mia... So now you're going to meet Y/n, but Max only gives permission to this one talk?

*Lando nods*

Carlos: He decides a lot for his sister, doesn't he? Shouldn't he let her go a bit more?

Lando: I don't know. There has been some history. I guess Max knows better than anyone else what she needs

Carlos: Maybe not. If I have to believe you and your stories, she's still fucked up. So maybe his method didn't work. Maybe he doesn't know what Y/n needs

Lando: But going against Max? It's like signing up for a nuclear war. I just have to listen to him

*Lando sniffs his nose and walks away slowly*

Carlos: Lando?

Lando: Hmm?

*Lando stops and looks over his shoulder at Carlos*

Carlos: Don't always listen to other people. Listen to your feelings and your heart. Do what's right for you

Lando: Thanks Carlos, but it's hard to figure out what feels right to me...

Carlos: Oh Lando...

*Lando shakes his head and walks towards the stairs. On his way to leave the building*
