LOVE AT LAST// GEORGE RUSSELL

PROLOGUE

PROLOGUE

George Russell and Tala Villanueva were best friends.

The pair had met when Tala's brother raced against the boy in Formula 3, and had become friends ever since.

They helped each other through a lot of things, like best friends would. Crushes, rejection, heartbreak, breakups, failure, all sorts.

The worst, without a doubt was the death of Tala's brother during a race, that had also injured George.

George blamed himself for the crash, and had done ever since the day where his car had spun in to the car of his friend, sending his car flipping the wrong way.

Tala however, she didn't blame him at all.

She blamed herself for not being at the race, since she always attended every single race of her brothers and the only one that she didn't attend, was the one where he never returned to their shared apartment.

It was nobody's fault, of course, the accident couldn't have been avoided, but the both of them helped each other through their guilt that they had developed anyway, all whilst the guilt that they felt inside grew to the point of combustion.

And George had unknowingly fallen in love with his best friend in the process.

He didn't want to ruin his friendship with Tala and risk telling her how he felt, so, he kept his feelings quiet.

He felt that if he told her and she felt the same, that the spirit of her brother would come back to haunt him, and curse him to the life that he deserved from the moment his car made contact with the late drivers.

A life without his best friend, Tala Villanueva.

The love of his life.
