Shout out to everyone who reads the author's notes at the end of my chapters. You're the only ones that aren't really disappointed right now. This isn't a real update. Just a fangirl talking one on one with her people.
So I met Jacob today... yesterday (July 11th). It's almost 5am and I'm stuffed in the back seat of a car that's the temperature of hell driving from Pennsylvania to North Carolina. I can't sleep because all I can think about is the fact that I met Jacob Whitesides.
When we got to the venue, me and my friend Lexi were standing in line outside sweating like it was no one's business when Tim (Jacob's manager) came out with gold wristbands for the vips. This is about the time my heart started beating out of my chest. We waited another half hour or so before we were let in.
When we got inside they took us upstairs and we all lined up in front of the stage. I was dead center like 3 rows back. After a few minutes Tim brought Jacob out and he sang about 3 songs. I was just annoyed the whole time because I couldn't even see Jacob's face because they had really bright lights on behind his head.
After he finished singing and being cute, we lined up to meet him. I wasn't in a rush to get to the front, so I was towards the back. I was just really nervous to meet him. While we were in line, Sierra, Dylan, and Jacob's mom came out. Dylan stayed behind the line and met people and Sierra walked back through taking pictures. When she got towards me I asked her for a picture and she didn't say anything but she stood next to me for it. I took a selfie, but my hands were shaking so I came out fuzzy. She seemed overwhelmed or awkward or something, so I was just thankful she took a picture with me. She was so pretty. I really couldn't believe it.
After she left, Lexi and I started freaking out. I had my bag of presents for Jacob and was showing Lexi how to work my camera to record me when I went up to him. It seemed like we got to the front of the line so fast. It seemed like 2 minutes before I was next. I laid my purse on the floor and tried to remember how to function. Tim was taking the pictures, so I had to pull the camera up on my phone and hand it to him and Jacob was already standing there with his arms out for a hug. I was so overwhelmed. He said something like "Hi beautiful," and I just walked into his arms and squeezed him. All I could force out was, "I love you so much." He told me he loved me too. Then he pulled back and I held out the present, but I literally couldn't form a coherent phrase and I could barely meet his eyes. He smiled at me and grabbed my shoulders and said "I love you" or "You're beautiful" I can't even remember. It's kind of a blur, but I know it was sweet and somehow shook the words, "This is for you," out of my mouth. He grinned and was like, "This is for me?" and I nodded and said something about Lexi's letter being in the bag too and he thanked me before putting the bag on the counter behind him. He came back and went to pull me into his side for the picture, but I said, "Wait. There's one more," and I handed him a tiny bag of Hershey kisses with a sticky note on it that said, "Hershey's makes millions of kisses a day, but all I want is one from you." The rest of my gift was stupid pick up lines like that with corresponding objects like "Are you 70% water because you're making me wet," with a bottle of water and a pack of tissues with "If you were a booger I'd pick you first."
He seemed confused when he looked at it, like "Why the heck didn't she put it in the bag?" But I said, "No, you have to read it now. That's the point."
So he started reading it and smiling as he went to put t with the rest f my present. The bottom of the note bluntly said, "I'm 16, lame, and never been kissed. Cheek kiss? Stage kiss? Real kiss? The choice is yours." I wrote that because you can bet your buns that I wouldn't have had the balls to ask him for a kiss if I couldn't even form words. He turned back around with the biggest grin on his face after me and Tim stared at him for a second and stood in front of me again. He reached for my face and said, "This is going to be the best stage kiss ever." Then before I could react, his thumbs were on my lips and his lips were on his thumbs and he held it there for a good ten seconds, probably less, but it felt like a lifetime. I just about melted. He pulled me into another hug and Tim handed my phone back. Then I asked Jacob if he could sign my ticket and he said "Of course!" and signed it. He handed it back and hugged me one last time, said something else really sweet that I was too panicked to remember and told me he loved me before I walked away. After that, Lexi and I bought merch and went back towards Dylan.
Dylan was surrounded by 3 or 4 girls and I basically stood there staring at him and he walked right over towards us. I asked if I could get a picture and he said, "Of course," and called me cutie or beautiful or an adjective like that and pulled me into the tightest, greatest hug you could ever imagine. I would honestly buy those hugs everyday if I could. As he pulled me towards him he said, "I love your hair. It's beautiful." (That's probably the only actual direct quote I've used from the experience because I made sure I wouldn't forget that.) When we pulled back he said, "I like your outfit too. It's cute." We took two picture of us standing side by side and sort of hugging each other and it was the most perfect thing ever. I also told him that I loved him a ton and said thank you like 30 times like I did for Jacob and then he took a picture with Lexi and he was gone.
I also met Nick Tangorra at the end of the night and he took a selfie with me and told me how much my phone was weird and kind of sucked and I also me, talked to, and got a picture with one of the guitar players from The New Royalty who were actually incredible. I totally recommend them.
In the end though, I could have gone back and met all the boys again, but I didn't and I don't regret it for a second. My experiences were perfect for my standards and the last thing I wanted to do was mess them up by embarrassing myself the second time around. I got a lot of rude glares from other girls that night and mixed people up when I talked to them, but I don't really care. That was my perfect fangirl experience.
Jacob and Dylan called me things that are going to enable my self esteem to be high forever. There wasn't a single flaw in the day. I'm sorry this is short and not a real update, but I'm at the beach now and that other update will come out when I'm ready for it to. I love you guys and thank you for reading!
