That evening, Johnny had been invited out by some of the executives who headed up the festival for a lavish dinner. Of course he wanted Meg by his side, and the woman readied herself with another one of her brand new outfits. Johnny's eyes nearly popped out his head when she declared herself ready. The make up artist had assisted her with some of her newer products but overall she was happy with how the whole fit came together.

Johnny kissed the back of her hand, before they headed down to the hotel lobby. She stopped on the stairs to fiddle with her shoe and when she looked up she saw Johnny quickly snapping a photo of her on his phone. She blushed but he asked her to smile and she did so again. It was the least she could do baring in mind she stood in front of hundreds of strangers last night having her photograph taken.

"Darling, you look gorgeous." Johnny said as she approached, sliding an arm around her they headed to the waiting vehicle. At the restaurant Johnny introduced Meg to all his associates, and she did amazingly well networking and holding her own. "I'm so proud of you.." Johnny whispered in her ear as they were seated to dinner. "I'm proud of you.." Meg smiled as they got comfortable and began sipping wine that was being poured.

The next day, Meg was sat in a robe on the couch in the suite. Johnny was stood on the balcony smoking whilst discussing the day's activities with Nathan his assistant. "Meg.. what do you think?" Johnny lent in the room. "On what? Sorry?" "Today, the photo call and press conference, you don't have to do it, but you're welcome to join me." "No I would love to, I said I'll be by your side and god damn it I will be." Meg giggled before standing and heading into the bedroom to try and pick a suitable outfit.

A few hours later, Meg was stood shifting weight from one foot to the other. She had opted for a tan leather look mini skirt, a black body suit, chunky heeled ankle boots, and a cute little black Chanel bag that Johnny had purchased for her birthday. Her hair was in loose curls, and she had opted for clean girl make up with gold jewellery. Johnny was in the shower and as usual running late, the woman was used to this by now and continued waiting patiently before Sean entered the suite. "How you holding up?" He asked. "I'm ok." She said with a bright smile. "This is awfully courageous of you, putting yourself out there like this. He's very grateful you know." Meg smiled. "Well he's very important to me and I want to support him in every way." Sean nodded before saying "So you're really in?" "I'm in." Meg chuckled before Johnny finally emerged from the bedroom in one of his usual quirky outfits.

As he approached he obviously eyed his girl. "Megz you look gorgeous." He said with a smile and kissed her softly before pulling back and looking at her outfit once more. This made her nervous before he lent over the couch and grabbed his black fedora and gently placed it on her head. "There you go... even when I'm not holding your hand you'll have a part of me with you." He said making her heart melt.

The pair arrived and as usual were harassed from the moment they left the vehicle. Meg stayed rather close to Johnny as he greeted many fans who had gathered. They posed briefly for the press before Johnny had to join his Co stars, Mark accompanied the woman into the building when a journalist grabbed her attention. "How do you think your Uncle feels about Johnny Depp?" Meg was startled but was on the spot with the microphone thrusted in her face. "He's extremely proud, as we all are that Johnny is back doing what he loves. There was never a doubt for any of us that he wasn't on the right side of the roaring rapids." Meg said with a smile and didn't wait for a response before heading straight inside the venue.

"And there you have it folks, Alice Cooper's niece confirms her support for Johnny Depp. The actor who has found himself in a tale of woe in recent years but despite all the allegations he has made a sensational comeback this summer starring in a French independent movie as a King. One thing is for sure, his Queen, Meg Goddard fully backs him. Join us after the break where we delv into the latest swift scandal!"

"I wish they would just leave her alone!" Poppy said angrily switching off the Tv. "Hey she carried herself well and look how amazing she looks." Travis said trying to calm his girlfriend. "She does look INCREDIBLE but even still who are they to judge her?!! Sick bastards." Poppy whinged before being interrupted by her cell.

"Mother."
"Poppy there's no need to be so cold."
"Sorry.. MOM. What do you want?" The woman said sarcastically.
"I was just ringing to see how things are?"
"No you're not, you never call unless you need something. So what is it?"
"Fine.... I just hoped Meghan, perhaps had second thoughts on the whole Alex situation? I know I saw photos of her and that Depp guy together but we know that won't last long. He could never settle for somebody like her."
Poppy's eyes nearly fell out her head they went so wide. Any supportive Mother would have been there for her daughter whilst she was being trolled and bullied by the world's press, let alone not bad mouth her personally.
"Mom!!!! How dare you. Meg is beautiful, amazing in fact, ANY man would be lucky to have her. And what do you mean the Alex situation? That ship sailed literally a year ago?"
"Nonsense. I actually heard from his mother, that he sent an invitation to his wedding and reached out to Meg. The poor love, is she going?"
"Going? God no she would have said, in fact she didn't even get an invitation that I know of!"
"Hmmm strange, I really think she should reconsider it."
"Mom!! It's nothing to do with you!!" Poppy scolded before hanging up.
She held the phone to her chest with her eyebrows furrowed. "What's up?" Travis asked concerned.
"Mom said Alex invited Meg to his wedding."
"What a fucker? Why would anyone do that?"
"No idea.. strange she didn't mention it though."
