June

My lanyard swings around my neck while I hold onto my camera tightly, following the group of camera personnel into the venue.

My phone rings in my pocket, so I move my giant camera to my right hand to pull out my phone, knowing exactly who it is.

I slip my phone into my pocket just as someone opens one of the double doors for the group to come inside.

I totally forgot up until Monday that the press conference was today... well I didn't actually forget, it was more like it didn't register in my brain what exactly was on my calendar. Vinnie talked about it a few times of course and how nervous he was, but it wasn't until two nights ago, while we were in bed, that he expressed how stressed out he was. It's not just because of the fight either, it's because his parents are coming in a week before the fight too, so he's got to worry about that as well. I don't really know how to help him with it other than to physically help him. I'm not a really someone that should be relied on for emotional support, because I myself am terrible at processing my own emotions.

"Miss Juniper." A voice calls out so I lift my head to look forward at the man in front of us.

He waves his hand at me, beckoning me forward so I shuffle past the people around me shyly to walk beside him. He explains to me what I'll be doing, and that he knows that Vinnie and I are seeing each other but I can't interact with him when he's on camera, which I told him I totally understood and wasn't planning on it anyways.

We turn down a Hallway that's lined with doors with names on them, first Austin Mcbroom, then Bryce hall, then Deji, and finally Vinnie.

The man opens Vinnies door but just as he does, Deji's door opens and we come almost face to face since I looked over at him.

Deji's face lights up, and he smiles at me. "June!"

Oh shit.

"Hey!" I nervously say as I step out of the line filing into Vinnie's room.

Deji crosses his arms over his chest, "You here to see your boyfriend?"

How does he know-

I shake my head, glancing inside Vinnie's room to see him sitting in a makeup chair with Alex standing beside him. Alex is talking to Vinnie but he doesn't look like he's listening because he's looking everywhere but Alex.

"No," I turn my attention to Deji is I slightly move out of Vinnies view. "I'm Hackers photographer."

He frowns at me, his brows furrowing, "Youre on Hackers team?"

I nod my head at him, raising my camera from the strap around my neck, "Yea I'm working."

Deji looks at me with amusement, "So Hacker hired his girlfriend to be his photographer. I love that."
