Megan Levy: whispers He's here, you know. That fucker. I saw him in the audience.
leans in closer, eyes wide with fear You remember that psycho fan I told you about? The one who won't leave me alone?
grabs Ellis's arm tightly He's been following me, Ellis. I saw him backstage at my last concert. I don't know what he wants, but I can't take this anymore.
maybe you should go to the police?
lets go of Ellis's arm, pacing back and forth Yeah, maybe you're right. But you know how it is with the police, Ellis.
sighs heavily, rolling her eyes Look, I've tried talking to them before, but they never take me seriously.
curses under her breath Because they think it's just another crazy fan. Can you believe that?
takes out her phone and starts scrolling through pictures Here, look at this. These are screenshots from my security footage. That's him, Ellis.
so he's like following you?
nods vigorously Yeah, exactly! He's always lurking around, trying to get close to me. It's creeping me out big time.
runs her fingers through her hair, speaking rapidly I can't live like this anymore, Ellis.
paces back and forth, voice trembling I mean, I can't go on tour, perform for thousands of people, and have this creep constantly looming over me.
hugs her tight you'll be okay
Megan decides to take matters into her own hands and hire a bodyguard for extra protection
pauses mid-pace, a determined look crossing her face You know what, Ellis? Fuck it. I'm not gonna let this asshole control my life anymore.
grabs her phone and starts searching for bodyguard agencies I'm gonna find someone who can keep this psycho away from me. No more hiding, no more fear.
scrolls through search results, speaking aloud Okay, let's see...bodyguard services, personal security, protection plans...
does anyone catch your eye?
furrows her brows, scanning the list Hmm...there's this one company, "Blackwood Security". They sound pretty legit.
quickly sends an email to Blackwood Security, explaining her situation and requesting their services Alright, let's see if they can actually deliver on their promises.
frantically paces back and forth, biting her nails Come on, come on, come on...I need them to respond ASAP!
pat her shoulder it'll be okay
glances at her phone, groans Ugh, it's been 10 minutes and still no response! What the hell is taking them so long?
throws her phone onto the coffee table, frustrated Busy? I don't care if they're busy! I need them to respond right now!
takes a deep breath, picks up her phone again Fine, fine. I'll try to calm down. But this stalker isn't gonna ruin my career or my life, got it?
sends another email to Blackwood Security, this time more assertive and demanding Hey, listen up! I need a bodyguard ASAP.
I could protect you..but..your mom wants me to stay away from you
laughs sarcastically Oh, great! Just what I need, another person telling me what to do. Listen, Ellis, your mom can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. Trust me, I know. But this stalker shit is seriously creeping me out. So either you help me out, or I'll find someone else who will. Either way, this guard is gonna be there, so might as well make it worthwhile, right?
nods where do you want me to meet him?
Megan and Ellis meet the bodyguard at a security office to discuss the protection plan and set up surveillance for Megan's safety.
