Leonardo sits in the studio trying to record a song but lsadora's words of 'i hate you' echo in his mind he sighs and walks out his head hung low
"Are you okay?" george asks offering him a bottle of water
Leonardo accepts the water with a weak smile "i don't know i'm not feeling like myself"
George rests his hand on Leonardo's shoulder"you can talk to me we need a new song soon and if you're like this there's no way you can perform at any concerts"
"I... I r... well, i did what i shouldn't have done to isadora last night."
"You hit her? again? it's not like this is anything new"
"No, I... I don't know what got into me. i... i raped her"
"You what?!" he yells
"It was a mistake george"
"You're a monster, an animal, a devil!"
"George, I'm telling you it was a mistake!"
"Just shut up you're a heartless monster with no humanity you disgust me" with that george storms out
Leonardo drops his head "it was a mistake" he repeats to himself
