I take a deep breath, and look at my best friend standing next to me. We were both next in line to meet the Dolan Twins. We had been watching their YouTube and vine for years, and it was finally the day we get to see them.
"Next!" The photographer called out as the girl before us walked away. She patted my shoulder, knowing how much this meant to me. They helped me through such a rough time in my life and I can't wait to thank them.
I handed my phone to my mom to take a video, and I walked to the two goof balls that made my life so much better.
"Hey!" They called out at the same time. I ran into Ethans arms, and then to Grayson. It was so amazing. They smelled magic and their arms were so comforting.
I went between them and they put their arms around me for the picture. I smiled so hard I probably looked like the joker.
"I-I-love-y-you." I stuttered out after the picture. They looked at me with a smile, and I tried to say more but I couldn't. I was so star struck nothing came out.
"I love you too." Ethan said, pulling me into a hug.
"I love you too." Grayson copied and hugged me also. We stayed like that for like five seconds, and then I had to leave.
I walked away, and tears pricked the back of my eyes. (Y/b/f/n) and I agreed to meet at the exit. The show was amazing, but meeting them made my night.
Wait... I didn't tell them how much they meant to me. I never got to say they stopped me from cutting, I never said they made bullying not matter, I never said they basically stopped my depression, and I never said my name. My damn name.
All I did was stutter like a fool. I prepared what to say for weeks, all for that. A once in a life time experience, wasted.
I feel tears start to rush down my face, and it is a mix of happy and sad because I just saw them. Holy llama. At least that happened.
"(y/n)!" I heard (y/b/f/n) call out. I turn around to look at her. She attacks me with a huge hug. "That was amazing! Grayson called me cutie! What did you say?"
She pulled away and saw my tear stained cheeks. Her happiness disappeared once she saw my face.
My mom walked up behind her and looked just as confused as she was. As we were walking away because the line was going pretty fast, they asked what was wrong while rubbing my arm.
"I barely said anything to them. Can we just get to the hotel?" I asked, still not sure if I was happy or sad. We did have to stay at a hotel because we flew here, and we would fly home in the morning.
On the ride home, I looked at the picture that was taken and I looked so stupid. My smile was so wide and I looked so awkward. My face was beet red and I'm clinging to them like a koala. I could never post this.
(Y/b/f/n) was calming me down and I looked at it positively. At least I saw them.
----------------------------
We were leaving the hotel, and decided to go to Panera bread for some brunch. I wasn't sad about the meet and greet as much as I was last night, but I'm still so mad at myself
In the long line, we stood behind about ten people. I rolled my eyes and tapped my foot impatiently.
"I don't see why we couldn't have just gotten pizza." I heard a familiar voice groan from behind us. Is that.... Grayson?
"Because we can't eat pizza everyday. I mean I would want to, but... well I don't know, but we are not getting pizza." The other voice that was slightly higher justified. Ethan.
I turn around and saw them, once again. We locked eyes and smiled.
"Hi! I'm (y/n). This is (y/b/f/n)." I said turning her around. Her eyes widened at the sight of the twins and she let out a small squeak.
"Nice to meet you girls. Weren't you at the show last night?" Ethan asked with a laugh. I looked at (y/b/f/n) and she nodded, encouraging me to talk to them.
"Yes. When I met you two, I had been waiting for that moment for so long. I never got to say what I wanted to. The truth is, you have helped me through so much. When my dad died I started watching your videos and they made me happy again. Thank you for that. I probably still would have been sad all of the time if it wasn't for you. You made me, me." I said smiling. They looked so interested in what I was saying and they weren't snobby at all.
"That's why we do this." Grayson commented grinning. (Y/b/f/n) talked to them too, and we took a few pictures. And these pictures were so much better than what we took yesterday.
As we talked, nothing felt forced. We just talked about everyday things. We said that we came from Florida, and they were telling us about all the things they did there. We liked a lot of the same things to do, like the beach and theme parks.
We ended up sitting together, and they followed us on twitter so that we could DM.
Once we had to leave, I gave them both really tight hugs. And now, I knew that I was completely happy.

This is what I was like meeting Shane Dawson but all I did was squeak lmao. I never saw him at Panera though. But his eyes saw my face that's good enough for me.
