Demi has been receiving obsessive messages from an unknown person, along with numerous "gifts." Simon notices a shift in her attitude, from playful to nervous and more irritable. Max, Demi's bodyguard becomes attached at the hip, and Simon begins to...
I ran to the greenroom while my heartbeat increased rapidly. Oh god please let Demi be okay.
I pushed past the crowd of security, and random bystanders and tried to assess the scene.
Amanda, one of the interns had a shocked face and was being attended to by the security guards.
"Is she okay? What happened?" I asked the guard.
"Yes, she's just in shock. Ms. Lovato fainted after opening a package, and Amanda here screamed and went into shock" the guard replied.
I saw Max looking worried and stressed as usual, and made eye contact with him hoping he would allow me to see Demi.
Max nodded and waved me over.
"What was in the package?" I asked nervously.
"Some sicko sent Demi her ex-boyfriend's severed hands in a box" Max replied with disgust and concern.
"Wilmer? Does that mean he's dead?" I asked shocked.
"Nobody has heard from him in days, and the police went over there right now to see, but they said he most likely is dead." Max answered grimly.
"Do we know who sent the package?"
"No, but there was a note. Here you can look at it." Max replied, showing me a photo of the note on his phone.
The note read:
These hands used to touch what is mine.
Now, the owner of these hands does not live to see another day.
Max saw my shocked expression, and explained further.
"She's been receiving some unusual calls, letters and gifts for the past few weeks. I've been concerned and have been hovering because of earlier today"
"What happened earlier today?" I asked.
Flashback to earlier today
The doorbell rings at about 8:47 am.
Demi's POV:
Ugh, it is way too early for someone to be ringing my doorbell. I'm going back to sleep. Wait, I have elderly neighbors that might need help. Goodbye comfy bed.
I put on my slippers and shuffled to my door with my blanket wrapped around me.
I checked the peephole before opening the door, but saw no one there.
Curiously, I opened the door and saw a manila envelope on the ground in front of my welcome mat.
I looked around before picking up the envelope, shrugging and returning inside.
Weird, there's nothing written on the envelope.
I opened it carefully and saw two photographs inside along with a note.
The note read:
Demetria, I am always watching you.
Soon, we will be together.
What the heck? I saw two pictures of myself that I would normally assume are paparazzi photos, but maybe they are from someone with even more strange inspirations. Great, now I have to notify Max about this or he'll kill me.
