Hours she had spent in a line waiting for this moment. Only one peson stood ahead of her. It was almost time. Knts formed in her stomach.
"Mom, hold my phone and take a video!" she said thrusting the new iPhone into her mother's hand.
Emily Rose. Thirteen years old and already planning her wedding. Nothing was more important to her than the Walking Dead on Sunday nights. That was why she sacrificed an entire Saturday to come here.
Chandler Riggs sat ten feet away from her behind a table draped in red plastic tablecloth. It was her turn.
"Alright, did you get this personalized?" he looked up at her from underneath the hair covering his dark eyes, uncapping a sharpie as he spoke.
She nodded and giggled again, "And I also am getting a picture."
Pen poised and at the ready Chandler asked "To whom?" He asked this question for every fangirl asking for his autograph.
"Emily Rose"
"And what grade are you in Emily?" Chandler's father spoke up from a chair not far from where Emily Rose stood whatching Chandler sign her poster, already containing the signature of Emily Kinney.
"Eighth grade," she said with another giggle, her dimples had not budged since she arrived at Monster Mania.
Even though he would never know it, mr. Riggs gave a small nod of what Emily Rose took to be approval. Chandler himself was only in ninth, and there were people married with a twenty year age difference.
Chandler finished the autograph and as he slid the poster back across the table his dark eyes locked on her blue one, even if only for a second.
"Huge fan" her mother commented to Chandler's father.
"Huge fan?" Emily Rose scoffed, "I'm the biggest fan."
Chandler chuckled, and walked over to the side of the table. Emily Rose joined him for a picture. Three camera snaps later and the next girl's poster was on the table ready to be signed.
"Emily Rose, Emily Rose"Chandler said, tucking a stray peice of blond hair behind her ear. "Sorry, I get kind of OCD about that stuff, he laughed, then greeted the next lucky girl.
As she walked back to the car, her head was in the clouds her heart in his possession.
