How hard can it be to be in a relationship with someone you work for, and with all that, that the media doesn't support it?

People wondered that, and this is my story, I'm Y/n Lance Stroll's Press Officer. We have been working together for over two years now, and about 8 months ago we started dating. Soon enough the media found out and it wasn't an easy journey, well it still isn't.

No one really liked the idea of me dating Lance, everyone thought (some still do) that I am with him for the money. I know he's rich and everything but that really isn't the reason why I fell for that Canadian boy.

Walking around the paddock and getting asked questions wasn't something I liked to do, I also hated getting in social media and seeing all the hate that I was receiving calling me so many thing just because I was dating Lance.

I knew that we both loved each other, but he didn't get as much hate or comments about our relationship like I did. The worst ones towards him were probably that we wouldn't last much longer or that I would cheat on him. I didn't believe either of those were true, and neither did Lance which I was grateful for.

I was cut off my thoughts by Lance "Are you thinking about everything the media has been saying recently?" He asked worried.

"Yes, I am and most comments are really starting to get skin deep Lance... I don't like that." I confessed.

He sighed deeply, I knew he didn't like to see me hurting because of his fault but it was the way things worked around the Formula 1 Fandom. All the Fanboys would call me a gold digger and things like that. "Y/n stop looking at all the hateful comments, you're so much better than that princess."

After he said that he wrapped his arms around my waist. I put my head on the crook of his neck and breathed in the scent of his manly cologne. "I'm your PR, I should be fixing all the drama that surrounds you, or the bad comments but right now they're all directed towards me. Tell me Lance, how can I do my job when I try to make your image look better all I see are comments about me." I said on the verge of tears.

"Y/n darling, you shouldn't be worrying about that. You know that none of their opinions matter. They don't know you, they don't see how amazing you are, how sweet and loving you are too. Just concentrate on the good things." Lance said. He rubbed my back soothingly, trying to find ways to make me feel better.

"I know you see it as something I can just avoid and think about the inexistent positive things about my current situation, but it sadly it isn't that simple Lance" I said.

"What do you think would be a good idea to do so you can feel more comfortable?" He asked, trying to find a way to make it all better.

I really didn't have many good ideas of what to do to stop the hate, was breaking up with Lance a good idea? Was there any other way to solve the problem at hand? Was letting one of the most amazing guys I've ever met really worth it? Will it really end all of the hate? Should I just quit my job? There were so many questions on my mind that would stay unanswered for a while.

"I really don't know what to do at this point, all I know is that it really is bad." I said truthfully.

"I just want you to be happy y/n, but I need you to put some effort on trying to make that happen" Lance said.

I really started to think through it, maybe breaking up was really the only resource I had left? I really needed my mental health to be back stable.

"Maybe breaking up with you might end it all?" I said with a bit of doubt and hesitation in my voice.

Lance's look was one of pure disappointment, which just made me feel guilty about myself. "Do you really think that breaking up will be the best solution? After a fucking year of dating y/n? Are we really throwing all of that away for some stupid people on the internet?" He asked many questions and I was on the verge of tears.

"I really don't know Lance!" I said with frustration. "Maybe it is? Thanks to our relationship my mental health is the worst it has been in years." I told him.

"Y/N I know okay, I get it, I know you're hurting because of me but it's not something I can control. Please don't just break up with me over this, give me another chance I promise I will make it better. I just don't think that the proper way for us to end is because of some cyber bullies." He said also pretty close to crying, which was something that I had never seen before. Lance really did care about me, and about us.

"We won't break up, but I really need your full support on this because it is a lot for me to cope with by myself." I asked for only one favour to stay with him.

"I will always be here for you, all I really want is to see you happy." He said

Obviously with time some of the hate had died down, but there were still some others that were still there. Lance kept his promise, he would reassure me over and over that we would be perfectly fine and that he loves me for who I am. I really loved that Canadian racing driver.
