I’m Ryan, 19 from London. My friend Lauren came down from…

I’m Ryan, 19 from London. My friend Lauren came down from Manchester to stay at my place so we could try and meet Justin. We woke up early Monday morning (23/04/12) and set off out into Central London. We decided that we’d just go to the hotel where he stayed when he came over to turn the lights on at Westfield Mall. I tried to meet him that time, but was unsuccessful. As soon as we got there we saw around 20 fans, so we knew we were in the right place. Everyone stayed calm, thanks to Kadra’s skills at crowd control and when Justin arrived he stood on the wall and reached out to fans and touched their hands! Later on we found out that Justin was going to be at the Supperclub, so we turned up and we saw Kenny, Allison and Alfredo go inside the club along with members of the press, but no Justin. Kenny came out and started choosing fans from the crowd and Lauren & I were chosen. We were so excited and nervous that we were going to be let inside to hear the album and potentially meet Justin! We went inside and Reggie Yates introduced Justin on stage and he answered some questions. He then played Boyfriend and the 10 of us at the back were dancing to it and all of the press were looking at us! He played 6 more songs off the album such as ‘Believe’ and ‘Around the World’ and can I just say this album is amazing so far. Like, I can’t even; I’m so excited for the rest of the world to hear it. After the event had finished, Kenny brought Justin to the back of the room to meet us and when it came to my turn to meet him. I shook his hand & told him “Believe is an amazing song, I love it and I’m so excited for what’s to come” and he said “Thanks”. I asked him to follow me on twitter and he asked me for my Twitter name so I said ‘ryanswaggy’ and he then asked “is that spelled with a Y or an IE” at this point I was over the moon that I was actually interacting with Justin Bieber! So I replied “it’s spelled with a Y, you know, cause you changed it” and he looked at me with a grin. The next day he was going to radio so we got an early start and arrived at the hotel for 6am, Moshie came out and told us he was coming out at around 8, so we waited and his car pulled on to the sidewalk and he leaned towards the window to talk to fans, it got a bit crowded so he drove off. When he returned after his miniature radio tour the amount of fans that gathered outside the hotel required the police to attend and keep everyone in order, so I decided to go home and get some sleep. Lauren stayed overnight and she got to meet him at 1am, I got there at 1:20am and was gutted that I missed him. I waited alone for about 10 minutes and his car pulled into the hotel so I cautiously ran round after the car and called “Justin! Justin!” He got out the car and walked towards me. I was shaking! I told him that I missed him by 5 minutes earlier and he said “That’s okay.” I said to him that I was at the Believe album launch the other night and that I loved the album so far. I asked him for a picture to which he replied “Yeah sure.” Moshie took the picture! I said thank you and I said again that Believe was amazing work so far and he said thank you. As I walked away I shouted, “ryanswaggy” as to remind him to follow me on twitter and he shouted back, “Yes, SWAGGY!” A day passed and he was leaving London so we went back to the hotel to see him off. We decided to wait all night just in case he was flying out early. We met Kenny and Alfredo again as they were going out to celebrate Kenny’s birthday. Justin left the following afternoon and we both felt so depressed that’d he had gone. I woke up on the morning after (27/04/12) to find out that he had followed me on Twitter and I will always proclaim that this week had been the best week of my life. Justin was so good to his fans that week as he always has been, I just want to say a big thank you to Justin, Kenny & Alfredo for making the week so amazing. If i’ve learned anything from this week, it’s that Justin is the coolest person I’ve ever met, he’s so normal and caring its just very refreshing. Can’t break us!

My name is Gia, I’m 16 and from New Jersey. I saw Justin’s tweet…

My name is Gia, I’m 16 and from New Jersey. I saw Justin’s tweet about how he was going to Usher’s Broadway show on April 27 th . I begged and cried to my mom about how badly I wanted to go, and eventually she gave in. We took a train to NYC at 8:45 and arrived at 10 PM. We took a taxi to the theatre Justin was at with Usher. Once I got there, there wasn’t many people, but they had said Justin had just went inside and said he would meet us after. We waited 2 long hours, and finally he came outside at midnight. He went to go take pictures with us, and everyone was screaming and surrounding him. He then ran away right to his escalade and took off. A few of the girls knew where his hotel was, so we sprinted to the subway to then get to the hotel. Once we got there it was 12:20, and we weren’t sure whether to wait by the front door or the back door, but we decided to wait by the back. The big garage door was open so we figured we’d have the best chance of seeing him there. The guards kept telling us to go away and they eventually shut the door to trick us, but we didn’t leave. We all kept standing there, and eventually the garage door opened again so we knew Justin had to be coming in that way. About 15 minutes later, I saw his black escalade turn the corner and I was so excited. It went right into the garage and the door started shutting. Once it fully shut, I thought it was over. I was disappointed because I was like, “Well that’s it, another chance to meet Justin is gone.” We were saying, “Justin come outside!! There are only a few of us! PLEASEEE.” Less than a minute later, the garage started opening and I saw Justin’s red Supras walking towards us. I almost passed out lol. He said, “Guys I’m really tired” a few times and I said, “Justin I came from Jersey and I’m about to miss my train back, can I please take a picture with you?!” and he said, “Yeah come here”  so I walked over by him and he put his arm around me and my mom took a picture of us. I said, “Thank you so much, can I give you a hug?” and he said “Yeah” and I squeezed him so tight. I didn’t wanna let go! I said thank you again and walked away. He then walked into the hotel and I walked outside and started hysterically crying. My dream had just come true. Now it was 12:50 AM and the last train back to New Jersey was at 1:20 AM so we had to run back to the subway to get to the train station to get home. We ended up missing our train, and had to wait a little while for a connecting one. Lets just say it was a night of running around, and tears, happy tears to be exact. I never thought I would get to meet him, but my dream finally came true.  I really appreciate Justin taking a picture with me at 12:33 in the morning when he was exhausted. Honestly, all you have to do is BELIEVE, and of course NEVER SAY NEVER. -@Gia_Chichelo Read the original here: My name is Gia, I’m 16 and from New Jersey. I saw Justin’s tweet…
