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 studied hard and even with the mental health struggles you got into university and started studying psychology. then, on a night out on holiday you met the love of your life — lando norris.
dating lando was hard sometimes. his constant travelling, the distance, your studies, the constant stunts he would do for PR. it was a lot more than you expected, but you love him. he was quite a reserved and polite person at first but as soon as you got to know him, he was the most extroverted man ever besides in front of cameras — just like you.
lando lived in monaco while you were still studying in england. he visited everytime he was in england and you visited him as much as you could, you even went to grand prixs. you were a very private couple but people knew about you two. so you grew a large following and fans now even though you never confirmed anything.
lando was still doing PR stunts as you two were a private relationship. many fans speculated as a few videos got ‘leaked’ but you two never confirmed or denied. however, lando got into a PR relationship.
it was for a few months to make this girl, magui, reputation better and to help keep you and lando private. it was like a cover up. however it fucked you up in the head for some reason, drove you insane.
she would constantly hint over socials and occasionally they were spotted together or she attended grand prixs. you hated it. hated her.
he had been pulling this bullshit for nearly a year now and quite honestly, you were sick of it. it’s like he didn’t care about your feelings, only “protecting” you which you did not need.
it got to a point where you snapped. you asked for a break. it was kind of easier, he was in monaco or somewhere for races and you were at university in the UK. you still loved him, you couldn’t physically leave him, but you need space. he told you it was coming to an end soon and you wanted to take the chance and be with him again.
then, it crossed the line. lando told you a while back he was gonna be in british vogue. you were obviously over the moon for him but he forgot to mention the article.
in the article, he basically said he was “dating” magui. he never exactly said it but everyone took it as a hard launch. the man you were in love with just told the public he was dating another girl.. to protect you? no. it pissed you off.
you were in the elevator, going up to his apartment to have a talk. you were in some joggers and a hoodie, fiddling with your fingers in anxiety. you thought you were about to get back together when your best friend sent you the screenshot. your heart broke.
you just completely broke down as soon as you got out the elevator. you just cried in the hallway outside his apartment. the rain from the outside world adding to your misery.
