There's a monster in my closet (Johnny Depp)

Chapter 29

Charis' P.O.V.

Johnny didn't seem to be worrying at all. He was just sitting on the couch, watching TV.

"Johnny! How can you be watching TV right now, he have to be on our way in ten minutes and we're not even ready yet!". I was struggling to walk up the stairs to go to the bedroom, where I had my jewelry.

He saw me, and suddenly realized how stressed I was. He turned off the TV and jogged by my side, while not being able to hide his laughter at the same time.

"Honey, you don't have to stress out. They just tell us to be there at about 8 o'clock, but the show doesn't start until half past 10 anyway."

He put his arms around my back and legs, and lifted me up without any trouble. He carried me upstairs and then gently put me on my chair. It was awfully difficult for me to move with my broken leg, since I fell down the hotel stairs that night. It was, like, really bad. I had to undergo surgery... Twice!

Johnny planted a small kiss on my neck, while I was putting on my earrings. He noticed my hands shaking like crazy. He sighed, grabbed them, and turned me around to look me in the eyes.

"Why are you so nervous, love? It's just an interview" he smiled. I bit my lip.

"Yeah but...you know... That's the first time I'll be on television! I want to look good" I admitted. He frowned, looking confused.

"Seriously? But, you've done so many movies before."

"I know, but I'm just a voice provider, Johnny. And usually the movies I played in were either not that popular, or I didn't play one of the protagonists, in order to be on an interview."

Without a second thought, he pulled me in for a tight hug. "You are the most amazing person I know. The people are going to love you! Just like I do..."

We didn't waste any more time; he helped me get ready and then helped me go in the car that was waiting for us outside the house. We were the first ones there. Next we picked up Louis and lastly Brittany Blake, the director.

I was super excited to be backstage of one of my favorite shows. If I didn't have my broken leg, I would be jumping and running around like a little kid. I know, I've been in so many studios and I have met a lot of famous people, how can I still react like that every single time? Well, some things never leave you.

After what seemed an eternity, it was our turn to go live on stage. And we did. I still remember the moment I limped away from the curtains and closer to the crowd and the host. The lights were blinding. I believe the people were clapping and screaming, mostly because of Johnny, or well who are we kidding? Only because of Johnny. But I couldn't hear them- I couldn't hear their screams or their claps or anything. The moment, as I remember it now, was completely quite. Like an intense part of a movie, were everything moves slowly, and the only thing you can sense, truly, is your heartbeat and a throbbing.

The host was acting extremely happy to see us, although he had already met us backstage. Also, he commented on my leg, even though, again, he had already done that a few minutes ago. I reassured him it was a happy accident, because, well he didn't know, but after that accident Johnny and I finally made up, and got rid of all the drama. From that day forward, our relationship has been better than ever.

So there we were, being on our first interview as the crew of "There's a Monster in my Closet", in an attempt to promote it. The shootings had stopped a while ago, and now the rest of the team was creating the animation. At the beginning of the interview, we talked a bit about the movie, like, what it was about, if it was fun shooting it, and blah blah blah. And then, the host took the conversation in an entirely different direction.

"So... Rumor has it that you two..." he smiled and pointed at Johnny and I, "...are a thing? Is that true?"

I smiled and glanced at Johnny. He did exactly the same, at the same time taking my hand in his. "Yes" he said " It is."

"Wow..." the host laughed. "When- how did this happen? Was it during the shootings, or, did you know each other before that?"

"Oh no no..." I laughed. "We met at the very first time the crew was on set, and well, I think that's when it all started too."

"Yeah..." Johnny laughed too. "Although at the beginning our love story wasn't exactly with each other." he said.

The host did a funny, surprised and confused face. "What do you mean?" You could hear the audience laughing. "Like... Your  love story... Wasn't with you?" he chuckled. "Then who was it with?"

"Uh, you know... It was with a girl I hadn't met yet..." said Johnny. I couldn't stop giggling. Everything he said was true, but so confusing when you didn't know the details.

The host dropped his mouth open, and stared at the cameras for a few seconds. "Wha- what is this? What do you mean?"

"Do you want the details?" asked Johnny.

The host nodded keenly. "Yes!" he shouted. "Please!"

"Because it's quite a long story..." he spoke again.

"Well, we got time, ain't that right guys?" said he host, turning to the audience. I guess cheering in response means yes.

"Oh noo..." I heard Louis jokingly complain. "It's like, such a messed up story. I get dizzy just by thinking of it right now. You don't wanna know, believe me..."

"Oh, but we do!" he host insisted. "And now that you've said that, even more!" he laughed.

The audience cheered again, and I took that as a sign to actually start. "Ok then, I'll start." I said. "Johnny, Louis, feel free to add your point of views, and provide the parts I'm not familiar with..."

I cleared my throat, and, well, began narrating "There's a Monster in my Closet" as I've known it. From the top. The very beginning. 'Chapter 1' if you will.

"
I heard a loud "BEE-BEE" interrupting my dreams. I moaned and hit my alarm clock and, of course, I turned around to continue sleeping.

.....

THE END

A/N: so... That's it! It's over. I gotta tell you, I'm sad and happy at the same time. It was quite the experience to write this story; I've never written anything before, having feedback while I'm writing. It was exciting to read all your comments and I'm more than happy that you liked this story! It really means a lot to me!

So, you understand now... The whole book was them narrating their story during this interview. I know, it's a long story to narrate on an interview, and it has personal stuff in it too. But, idk, imagine a perfect version of the world, where celebrities actually share that kind of stuff with you.

I truly hope you take something with you from this story. I hope you were able to identify to some of the characters, to get excited with them, to get hurt, to even fall in love...

Anyway, that's it from me. I'm sorry to say now, goodbye, and not "see you on the next chapter". I love every single one of you!

Bye, guys! ❤
