Destroy Me

15

We pulled up to a big building, there was a conference room inside where the press would be. I looked over at Hanni, her leg was shaking as she looked at the floor of the car, she was nervous.

"They will mostly ask me questions so don't get too worked up and let them see you nervous alright. If they ask you any questions that make you uncomfortable let me know, You're not obligated to answer them." I told her, trying to calm her nerves a bit.

She looked up and me and slightly nodded. I opened the car door and then walked around opening hers as well. Paparazzi was even stationed outside so as soon as we got out clicking noises and flashes echoed in the streets.

4 guards got around us trying to shield us from the blinding flashes as we finally made it to the door of the hotel. The 4 guards weren't much help against the crowd of people and cameras, but as we stepped inside everything seemed dark compared to the flashes of outside.

I led Hanni to the conference hall, giving her a quick run-through of what to do. As I pushed the door open all heads turned to us. Some people whispered and pointed at Hanni, discussing that this was the "prostitute" I was seen with.

I walked over to a table in the center front of the room, letting Hanni sit down next to me first. I introduced myself even though I knew everyone already knew who I was.

A few seconds later, the press started shouting out questions and statements.

"I would have to ask that you all quiet down so I can provide the answers everyone has come here for," I said, and everyone in the room immediately became quiet.

I continued, "I know what you have all come here to ask. The woman that you see next to me is not a prostitute as you have stated. I'll let her defend herself on that note." I said and looked over at Hanni,

I grabbed her hand under the table just in case she was feeling nervous. She looked over at me and slightly smiled.
