life had always been hard for you. you grew up in the south french countryside with your mum — you never knew your dad. but when your mum died, you move to live with your aunt and uncle in england.

you worked hard on your studies and managed to get into university at monaco. you lived in the dorm houses and were thriving.

that’s when you met the love of your life — lando norris. behind the mask of an F1 driver was a kind, sweet, loving man and that’s why you fell in love with him. you both living in monaco was a bonus.

but somewhere between messing about at his apartment, running around monaco and hiding in the back of the garage, it went wrong.

a PR relationship.

lando was introduced to this girl named magui, a portugese model and actress. the contract was signed. the idea was they would be spotted together, an occasion small PDA (nothing more than a cheek kiss) and some instagram likes but nothing too serious. he wasn’t actually dating her, he was dating you in private with her as a “cover” but to the public it seemed like he was with her and you were this mysterious university student.

lando claimed it would help you two relationship blossom as you were no longer under the public eye as he was “dating” magui. but it made it worse, all you two did was hide.

not many believed the relationship with magui as they still saw small glimpses of you with lando and honestly, lando looked so uncomfortable. even after some staged paparazzi pictures, people still didn’t trust it was real with him and magui — which you liked.

but the rest drove you insane. watching him have to act like he was with someone else. you always questioned why you stayed:

why? why? why?

but your love outbalanced any feeling of wanting something else.

but now, the end was in sight.

then it wasn’t. lando won the championship. as happy as you were, you also weren’t.

in their contract, part of the deal said that if lando won and the “breakup” phase hadn’t started yet, magui would stay. they would become a public couple and she could post him before it would die down when suited best for both parties.

you hated it. you couldn’t leave him still but he was going to have this “public” girlfriend as someone else but it’s all you ever wanted from him. it was gonna be a hard few months as many started believing it was real and it made you look stupid. people had slightly realised maybe magui was PR and you were real but so many people were thinking — why would you stay if he was doing that with another girl?

you didn’t know the answer truly.
