Short Character Stories (Mainly about Johnny Depp)

You Love Mr Depp, Don't You? (51)

Context: Johnny Depp is in court in Virginia 2022, and you have to testify because you know him. Amber Heard's attorney keeps asking you rude questions, and it upsets you.

To make the story flow better y/n's name is Rebecca Smith.

"Can you confirm your name, ma'am?" Mr Rottenborn asked you as you sat down, he was one of Amber's attorneys.
"I am Rebecca Smith."
"And how do you spell that, ma'am?"
"R-E-B-E-C-C-A S-M-I-T-H."
"Alright. How do you know Mr Depp?"
"I have worked with him in the past."
"When did you work with him?"
"I worked with him a few years ago on Pirates of The Caribbean 5 in Australia."
"And when was your first meeting?"
"It would have been through a video call just a few weeks prior to filming. I'd never met him before so getting a chance to talk to him before filming started was really helpful."
"How would you say Mr Depp was when you video called with him?"
"Sorry?"
"How would you say he behaved when you spoke to him for the first time?"
"Erm, he seemed kind and calm."
"Did he say anything weird to you?"
"Nope. He was just nice a guy."
"How about when you started working together when filming actually started, how did he behave then?"

You felt confused so you looked across at Johnny who was sat just a few feet away from you. He seemed sad. You felt bad for him and scared in case you accidentally said the wrong thing.

"Johnny has always behaved well. He's always been a respectable man."
"Did you and Mr Depp ever exchange phone numbers?"
"Yes. We exchanged phone numbers on set and we've stayed in contact ever since."
"When was the last time you spoke to Mr Depp?"
"A few months ago."
"Through text?"
"Yes."
"What sort of things do you and Mr Depp talk about through texts?"
"Normal stuff about everyday things like the weather or what's happening in our lives. We've always been friendly with one another."
"May I ask you a slightly personal question?"
"Yes, sir."
"You love Mr Depp, don't you? And that's why you are testifying for him, is that correct?"
"No, sir. Myself and Mr Depp are just friends."
"Then why are you here?"
"Because he is a kind man who I belive is telling the truth."
"I don't believe that," Rottenborn said, raising his voice. "Yourself and Mr Depp have slept together correct?"
"Of course not!" You said, which made a lot of people, including Johnny, laugh.
"You and Mr Depp have made out on and off set, correct?"
"We've kissed on set yes, but not off set."
"Yourself and Mr Depp have had intimate relations, correct?"
"No, sir."
"You are attracted to Mr Depp, right?"
"I mean, he looks nice and handsome, but I don't have a crush on him." This made more people in the court room laugh.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."

The man sighed. This was all going nowhere. "Alright. You are free to go, Miss Smith."
"Thank you."

The jurors stood up and left and then you left as well. As soon as you left the court room you felt like a weight was lifted from your shoulders.

The end.
