The Way You Don't Look At Me

Chapter 2 - Simply Passing Away

"What do you mean I can't go to the concert?!" I asked, feeling tears forming in my eyes.

"I'm sorry, Jade. I tried my best to clear up your night but I couldn't. Next week you have even more interviews and i just couldn't make the space. I'm sorry." David said to me, placing his hand on my shoulder.

I sat down and put my head in my hands. I've been in love with demi for YEARS and i haven't been able to see her once.

Don't get me wrong, I'm so grateful that I even have interviews to give, especially about a movie that's so important to me. But just seeing her live... literally would be a dream.

"But hey! Your Jimmy Fallon interview aired tonight! Everyone LOVED it." David said, sitting next to me and smiled.

"Good, I'm glad." I said with a slight smile.

David sighed and looked at me. "How about this, I make a couple calls, and we'll have some people over tonight to celebrate. I'll bring the alcohol" he said with a slight laugh.

I looked up to him and nodded with a smile. "Good. Now you go get ready and whatever you need to do, I'll be back in a couple of hours." I nodded again and watched as he walked out my door.

I fixed my position on my couch and just stared at my tv for a second, which was off. I decided against watching my interview because I don't want to see how I looked, and grabbed my phone.

"Alexa, play La La Land by Demi Lovato." Decided to throw it back for a little bit.

"Here's La La Land by Demi lovato on Amazon Music" I heard the speaker say.

While the music was playing I decided to look through Twitter. My notifications were higher than usual and I was confused on why.

Scrolling through I saw I was tagged in a tweet from Jimmy.

"Jade Rivers Talking About Demi Lovato: I owe a lot to Demi Lovato. She has inspired me for years and continues to do so every day."

With the tweet, was an attachment to that clip of the interview. It was cute reading the replies, all so happy I was a lovatic. But as I went down I saw a few that didn't make sense to me.

"SHES GONNA FREAK" "HAS SHE SEEN IT YET?" "JADE ARE YOU EVEN ALIVE?"

Still confused I went back to my feed and refreshed. The first tweet that came up was from demi an hour ago. And the way that my hand flew SO quickly over my mouth.

"❤️" is what she tweeted OVER THE JIMMY FALLON TWEET

DID I JUST GET NOTICED BY DEMI LOVATO ?? BYE I'M GOING TO SIMPLY PASS AWAY NOW

"Oh my GOD" I yelled. "Oh my god oh my god oh my FUCKING god" I just kept yelling. I felt tears starting to rush down my face.

"STOP IM CRYING THANK YOU" I replied back

Oh my god. Demi knows who I am. I feel like literal GOD right now. I truly cannot be touched at this moment.

I screenshotted it and sent it to David. A few minutes later he sent back "Wow! How's your breathing?"

I sent him a picture of me smiling with tears streaming down my face as a response. "Figured. Now get ready! People will be there at 8. Happy for you, kid."

I checked the time. 5:37pm. I got about two and a half hours to get ready and clean the place up.

"Alexa, play Cry Baby by Demi Lovato, and turn that shit UP"

So with that I took a shower, shaved, and brushed my teeth. After I went into my room and chose a red dress with black heels. Going back into the bathroom i dried and straightened by long brown hair and did a brown Smokey eye, look with red lipstick. (Red is kinda my color)
