message to the heart [Wattys2015]

I'm surprised everyone in the convention can't hear my heart. It was beating so loud, so fast, I thought I would pass out any second. You can do this, it's just Tyler freaking Posey, nobody special, right? Not, it was the star of my current obsession, Teen Wolf. I'm sweating, I'm nervous, and I'm pretty sure I'm the main eye candy in this damn place. I'm not regretting dressing up as Black Widow though, not at all. Black Widow is my favorite hero and will forever be. I had found a perfect skin tight cat suit, matched with tall heeled boots and a belt. I even dyed my hair semi-permanent reddish brown.

I felt dizzy. The white walls of the convention center and the red carpets seemed to blend into one thing. All of the sounds of merchants and geeks bled through my ears like knives. I stood in the back of the convention where they held all of the celebrities. 

I knew I wasn't the only person feeling this way, I couldn't be. I probably was the only silent one. All the other girls in this line were giggling and shaking at the same time, fantasizing about Tyler looking at them and falling madly in love. I wanted to point out to them he was engaged, but I decided not to spoil their fantasy.

I stood in line, shaking in my footsteps, just wanting this to be over. Well that's not true, but I would prefer if I wasn't scared. I nervously shifted in the outfit, biting my bottom lip. I held my artwork close to me, afraid of someone ruining it. Also the photo of Tyler I wanted him to sign. When my turn came up and I approached him I think I went brain dead.

"H-Hi Tyler, I'm Mal-lia. I uh was wondering if you could give the cast these drawings I did of them. And this one is um yours," I stuttered nervously. Tyler smiled and grabbed the drawings before gaping. He looked at me, then back down, and back up again.

"You did not do these,"

"Y-Yeah I did."

"You're amazing! Oh my god this is brilliant! I'll make sure the cast gets these, they will love them!" Tyler exclaims. He sounds like an over-excited boy. I smile a bit at his childish behavior. Interviewers always said he acted like this. I never really believed them. 

"Thank you," I reply.

"Malia right? Like Shelley's character?" Tyler asks as I nod, not wanting to open my mouth and say something stupid. He signs my photo before moving on to the next person. I hope he keeps his promise, I hope the cast gets their gift.

"Hey guys, guess what?" Tyler yells the second he gets on set. We were all waiting for Tyler to get back so we can start filming, saying he was in Portland for a couple days. Mostly we were here so that we didn't learn he hijacked something for fun. It sounded so much more normal when I thought of it. 

"What?" Holland asks, not looking up from her script.

"I got gifts for you all!" he announces making us all focus our undivided attention on him.

"You got us gifts? Are you joking?" Hoechlin questions.

"Well I didn't buy them, a girl at comic con drew all of us and she asked if I could give these to you guys. They're actually amazing so I did it," Tyler retorts, handing us all the drawings. Gasps and awes fill the room as everyone starts talking about the drawings. There's even a letter on the back. Tyler hands me mine as my eyes widen. It looked like a photograph, yet it wasn't. It was amazing, beyond amazing actually.

I was used to getting gifts from fans, only some really stood out though. Like this one. 

 I flipped it over to see an envelope taped to the back that said "read me". I opened it and pulled out two photos and a folded piece of paper,

Dear Dylan,

Hi, I'm Malia, the artist who drew you. If you're reading this, it means Tyler actually went through and gave these to you. Which is big on my part. I know you've heard this a lot already, but I'm doing it anyways, because I need to get it out there. I am a huge fan, and you are an amazing actor. 16 and already in the big leagues, only true talent can go that far. When I saw you in Man of Steel for the first time, did I start to believe in heroes. Thanks to you I can do that. Now in Teen Wolf, I've seen how much you grow, and it amazes me. I'm shaking a bit writing this because out of the whole cast, you are my favorite. The pictures, are just of me. I don't know about you but it's easier for me to get the message if I know what the person looks like. So I sent you my pictures. Sorry, I'm not the prettiest in the world, but maybe it might help? I hope you enjoy my drawing, I hope you like it. And I hope one day we can meet. For now though, all I can say is wish you well

Sincerely,

Malia

I took a look at the photos and my eyes widen. She's really beautiful, maybe not as beautiful as other girls, but beautiful. In a strange way, even with her flaws, she manages to stand out. 

Something inside of me told me to do it. Gut feeling. So I went on Instagram and took a really stupid picture of me and her drawing and sent it to her, waiting to see her reaction. 

//hi guys. another story in the works. I'm going to tell you what inspired this story though, so I'm in Dylan Sprayberry's age range (1-2 years, not telling) and I'm meeting Tyler Posey at the Portland Wizard Con in January. I'm actually an artist, I can post my art some time on here. Im planning to draw the cast and write probably the exact letter to Dylan as I did in this chapter on the back of his drawing with my correct contact info and pray that he actually talks to me.

So let's pretend he does, I will freak out. It's pretty obvious.

Vote, comment, pray and hope for me
