"DAMN IT" I scream when I get out of the O.R. I sit down on the floor looking at the ceiling. The tears start to fall. "WHY!" I scream again.

"We did everything. He was in a very bad shape. We couldn't do more." the other surgeon that was with me says.

I run my hands through my head. How could this happen? Why is life so hard?

"His family is outside..." Oh no, I hate this part. "You need to tell them." I get up, and I try to stop crying. I clean my face, and I step out to the waiting room.

* some minutes later *

I close the door behind me and I let myself fall to the floor, crying. Between the lines of fear and blame I start to rewind the all process. Where did I go wrong? I did everything that I could. I tried everything. I look to the red paint infront of me. Red!

"Charles!" I start running as fast as I can to the exit. I catch a taxi and, in minutes I'm in Spa's circuit again.

I run through the all paddock 'till Ferrari's place. I enter and I see everyone sad or crying. Everybody looks at me. They know that I was there. I see Seb. He looks at me and says:

"The third door on your left." I mouth in a thank you, and I go. I knock at the door.

"Let me alone, please!"

"Charles, it's me..." I open the door and I found him in tears on the corner of the room. I try to pass by his defense, and I touch his face.

"Come here love." He gets closer and I hug him. He starts crying again.

"I lost a friend." he says, between the tears.

"I know. I know. I'm here. I won't leave you."
