digi experience with Hayes Grier

In line

I woke up at 5:30 AM, eager to get ready. I barely got any sleep because of how excited I was. I was so nervous and full of energy I could barely contain myself. I decided to wear my Hayes merchandise, specifically my sweatshirt along with some leggings from Forever 21. I straightened my hair and put a small amount of mascara, but was careful to not load on too much in case I cried (I basically bawled my eyes out). My mom dropped me off at school in which she would pick me up at 12:30 during lunch. After a disgusting day at school, I heard my name over the speaker telling me to come to the office so I could go to Digitour. I obviously went without hesitation. We were hectic, grabbing a bunch of food on the way there and my sister occasionally attacking me with perfume (damn I feel bad for Hayes I smelled like a walking flower). So I arrived at exactly 1:58 at the Grove of Anaheim. The line was beginning at 2:00, so I was right on time. I was one of the first 20 people to get in line during the frenzy of who would get to meet all of the boys first. Finally at 3:30, after I made so many new friends like Kelsea, Elle & Sami, and got to meet some internet friends like Jillian (@freakinhayes) and Klaryssa (@kllaryssa) I was let in. I saw Rickey Thompson, Twaimz and Sam Pottorff at the door waving at all the fans and chuckling, I was so nervous. They finally let us in about 5 minutes after that. I immediately started shaking and crying. I was freaking out so much it was hard to function and nearly impossible to see since my tears were blurring up my eyes. I looked around the room seeing Hayes talking to Chad. After they were done talking, I screamed at Chad and he took one glance at me, turned, then took a second look and started pointing at my Hayes jacket while nodding. Then he gave me a thumbs-up and whisper-yelled, "I love your jacket!" then I literally yelled across the whole room, "Thank you I like it too, bless your children." Then we shared that beautiful moment and laughed together. Still so thankful I got to laugh with my father-in-law.
