I just sat there on a bench outside the London Excel building. I was here for Summer in the city or SITC for short. I was so excited to finally meet Callux, he's one of my favourite youtubers, one of my idols. I was absolutely crushed when the line was cut short. I had stood there for ages waiting and waiting for the moment my turn would finally come, but it didn't. All that, for nothing. I sobbed quietly with my head down, I couldn't go back inside like this. I didn't want anyone seeing me like this.
"Excuse me?" a familiar voice asked me. I looked up to see who had spoken, but my view was blurry from my tears. All i could see was a tall indistinct figure, a man perhaps. I had no idea why, but I thought that if I could just let all my emotions out, then maybe I'd feel better. Even if it was to a stranger, I just needed someone to listen... I lowered my head once again and started to speak:
"This may sound silly, I-I shouldn't even be crying over this, but I... I came here to meet my idols and, and I was in the queue to see him..."
it was barely comprehensible, but I continued to babble on anyway.
"They... They cut the queue short... I don't know why and I wasn't able to meet him... I've been waiting for this for months... I stood there the whole day, just to see him and now..." I continued to sob.
"Who exactly is he?" the voice asked. I wiped my tears away and sniffled.
"C-Cal-" I looked up and stopped halfway through talking when I saw who was standing in front of me.
"Was it Callux perhaps?" he smiled down at me.
"Y-yes..."
"Then it's lovely to meet you, erm sorry, what was your name?"
"Hannah..." I replied nervously, I could feel my heartbeat racing at what seemed to be at least 100 miles per hour. It must have been a mix of shock and nervousness. My palms felt clammy, I was so scared I'd have a panic attack or faint. I didn't want to seem like one of those overeager fangirls. I thought of Simon, he always seemed to calm to me down at times like these, well whenever I felt this way at least. I had to concentrate on Cal at this time, so I took in his face, his eyes and hair.
"Well then, it's nice to meet you Hannah. Wait? Hannah huh? I think Si mentioned you... He met you in Manchester I think. You made quite the impression on him, he's talked about you a lot," he explained. You blushed at that last remark and smiled awkwardly.
"Listen, I'd love to stay and chat, but I'm in a bit of a rush and I'm afraid I've got to go, I'm so sorry. I hope you feel better soon, would you like a hug before I go? It might make you feel better." I stood up and he embraced me in his warm arms.
"Thanks a lot, it really means alot to me, I'm glad to have met you." I sniffled.
"Here take this, I'm sorry I didn't have time to sign anything, but you can have my beanie? It's got my name on the inside, so I guess that's kind of like a signature right?"
"That's bloody awesome! Thanks so much! Have a nice day," I waved him off cheerfully.
"Thanks, you too!" he answered as he walked away. I just stood there for a while, staring in awe at his words and the beanie. I had Cal's beanie and Simon... he talked about me, he actually talked about me, to his friends.
