As we approached the table where Wyatt was doing autographs, I started to get butterflies. I had never been more nervous in my life. What if I was too shy to tell him what I had to say? What if I said the wrong thing and embarrassed myself? I'm the most awkward human on the face of the earth and I knew I would fuck this up somehow.
I glanced up from my phone to see that there were only like 3 people left in front of me, and I could literally see Wyatt, and I was about 5 feet away from him. He was even cuter in person, and I felt like my heart was going to explode out of my chest.
Minutes passed and before I knew it, I was the next person in line. I was shaking, and felt like I was about to cry. I wasn't going to mess this up. I couldn't let that happen. I glanced over at my dad who was emailing people from work as always, then I quickly took a picture of Wyatt when he wasn't looking and sent it to my iconic instagram groupchat, "deepfried rats."
After the last person left, it was my turn to meet the ACTUAL LOVE OF MY LIFE.
Wyatt looked at me and smiled. I swear, in that moment, everything just stopped. The world around me stopped. I could feel my heart racing. I looked him in the eyes, which was surprising concidering the fact I can't even look kids from my school in the eyes.
"Hi! What's your name?" He asked me. I was internally dying, but I responded. "I-I'm Jordyn." I was trying so hard not to smile like an idiot but I couldn't help it. "Nice to meet you, Jordyn. Is there anything you want me to sign?" I bit my lip and held out a picture of him for the autograph. When he took it from my hand, I swear his fingers brushed across mine.
He signed the picture and gave it back to me. I looked down at it to see, "for Jordyn.
love, Wyatt :)"
The little smiley face he did next to his signature was adorable, and the fact that he put "love" nearly made me have a stroke.
After that, my dad got out his phone and sorta embarrassed me, because he said "Let me take a picture of you two." And I felt my face heat up. "Okay." Wyatt smiled and stood up, then walked over to me. I looked over at him and smiled. He BIT HIS LIP. It was probably just a coincidence, but my ovaries thought otherwise.
Before my dad took the picture, I panicked and turned to Wyatt and asked him, "Is it okay if I hug you in the picture?" Jesus, I don't know why I thought that was necessary.
"Of course!" He held out his arms and I hugged him, smiling like an idiot at my dad's phone camera.
Even after the picture was taken, I let the hug last a few extra seconds. When we let go, I noticed he was smiling too, and blushing a little.
Everything felt so.. perfect. Until the security guard decided to ruin it all and say, "Next." I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces. I didn't ever want to say goodbye. "...Bye Wyatt, it was awesome meeting you!" I smiled. "Bye, you too!" He waved to me as I left with my dad.
Once we got out to the truck, I immediately started bawling. My dad couldn't see me because it was dark, but I had tears streaming down my face and I was just staring at the picture of me and Wyatt hugging, that my dad had sent to me. It hadn't even been 20 minutes since I had seen him, but I already missed him so much. I looked out the window to see a single star in the sky. I knew that what I was about to do was complete bullshit, and that it most likely wouldn't work, but I closed my eyes and wished that I could see Wyatt again. At least once. It didn't matter if it was tomorrow, or in 5 years. I just wanted to see him again.
