Moments (A Septiplier story)

Thirty-Six

A few days later, Sean woke up at 5am to get ready for the meet and greet. He got changed into his light blue shirt and jeans and started heading out. There, one of his roommates' friends were waiting outside for him. They happened to work at the same convention center he was going to, so they would provide him with everything he needed for that day.

"You okay, Jack?" The friend asked.
"Yeah, the nerves are just settling in..." Sean said. "This'll be my first time doing a meet and greet without the guys..."
"Don't worry, you will do great!" The friend assured him. "We have security that will be looking after you in case something goes wrong."

Sean nodded. He then felt his phone vibrate. It was a text from Mark.

MF: Good morning! Have fun at your meet and greet! :)
SM: Thanks! I wish you were here with me though...
MF: I'm with you in spirit! <3
SM: Okay... Ik it's like 10pm where you're at, so good night!
MF: Who says I'm going to sleep??

Sean smiled.

Eventually, the car made a turn into the convention center parking lot, which was surprisingly empty. But with the sun about to rise, he knew it wouldn't be this way for long.

He followed his friend into the convention center, where he met other employees that worked there.

"This is my friend, Jack... He's doing that meet and greet today." His friend said to his workers.
"Pleasure to meet you!" One of the employees said. "You're in for quite an exciting day."
"It's gonna be more crazy than exciting!" Sean laughed.

The employees then lead Sean to a small station area where a table and chair were set up for him.

"This is where you're going to be doing your meet and greet." The employee explained. "We open the doors at 8am, you'll meet your fans for about 4 hours, you'll take a half hour break for lunch at noon, then you will continue the meet and greet for another 4 hours until everybody has finally dispersed!"
"That might take a while depending on how many people show up." Sean said.
"Well, we'll try our best to get everybody to meet you!" The employee said.

Sean nodded as he headed over to his table, where he waited another hour until the doors finally opened.

Almost instantly, hundreds of fans started coming in and waited behind a red rope. The employees and security then arranged everybody from the fans who wanted to meet Jack before at his apartment, to the fans who just wanted to see Jack now.

Sean stood up to try and get a good view of the line. It was huge! It was bigger than he expected it to be! At this point, he wasn't even sure if the fans in the very back would be able to meet him.

Eventually, the employees started taking fans in one at a time to meet him. He made it go by smoothly by quickly signing an autograph and taking pictures. Some fans stayed a little bit longer to explain how much he meant to them. He loved hearing these stories, because it helped him keep going with his work.

Surprisingly, Sean was able to meet about half of his fans throughout the first four hours of the meet and greet. As he was taking his lunch break, he kept recalling as many fans as possible. Some of them came up to him individually while others were huge groups. One of the groups he took a picture of and posted it on Instagram.

After his lunch break, he continued to meet the rest of his fans. It took longer than the first half, but he was finally able to reach the last bit of fans that he thought he would never meet earlier.

After everybody had gone, security and employees quickly took him out of the convention center, like they would for a celebrity, and they brought him back to his friends car and they drove away from the convention center.

"Did you have fun?" His friend asked.
"That was amazing!" Sean recalled. "I'm so glad I did this!"
"I'm glad you did it too." His friend agreed. "You're very loyal to your fans, and that's not what many famous people are able to do."
"What do you mean?" Sean asked.
"Like you're able to do tweet sprees and tweet your fans during your spare time, while most other famous people either don't have the time to do it or just don't do it at all." His friend explained.
"Well, I want to actually communicate and get to know my fans." Sean said. "And it makes me feel bad whenever I can't."
"Sometimes it's just the way it is, though." His friend said. "Sometimes you can't just make it up to your fans whenever they storm your apartment and you don't do anything."
"Yeah... I guess..." Sean mumbled.

As soon as they pulled up to his apartment, Sean said goodbye to his friend and he went up to his apartment and immediately made a vlog about his experience, edited it and uploaded it onto YouTube.

He then laid back on his bed and went on social media for the rest of the night. When he was on Twitter, he couldn't help but notice that fans were talking about Mark. It made him wonder what was up with him. Fans seem to be confused as well.

He then logged off of Twitter and went on Instagram. His eyes widened as soon as he saw somebody with Mark. It was a blonde headed girl with rosy cheeks and what looked like a perfect smile. He then went to the description on the photo. There was none.

Sean immediately began panicking and he texted Mark.

SM: Who is this girl on your IG photo??
MF: Just a fan...
SM: Wouldn't you have said that in a description if it was a fan??
MF: Idk...

Mark stopped texting him after that. Sean became worried, but he also became furious.

Who was this girl? And what was he doing with Mark?
