I woke up on Christmas day 2012 not knowing that later that morning I would open a present that would change my life forever. My mum and dad had got me meet and greet tickets for March 5th 2013 and I was the happiest I’d ever been, my dream had finally come true. Then, on February 27th 2013 I came home from school like any other day when my dad told me his friend had been given free meet and greets for the next day in Birmingham and he wanted me, the biggest belieber he’d heard of to have them. I completely freaked out. In the car ride up my friend Alice and I blasted all of Justin’s songs. I knew this was going to be the craziest day of my life. We had already bought Justin a birthday present, a teddy bear that sang a birthday song when you pressed his paw. When we arrived I was shaking like mad and was so nervous but excited. We waited in line for about 2 hours until we finally reached the room where we would meet Justin. Alice and I were right on the edge next to where you came out after meeting Justin. We waited about 10 minutes when suddenly a familiar face peeped through the curtain on the other side of the room, Dan! The girls behind us asked if we would shout to Dan with them so we could meet him, so together we all shouted, “PLEASE COME HERE DAN!” I couldn’t believe it as Dan walked over and stood right next to me. We talked for about 10 minutes and looking back it feels like we had known each other for years. One of Justin’s security people stood next to me and I heard her say into her radio, ‘The penguin is on the ice.” This could only mean one thing! All the girls were talking amongst themselves when we suddenly hear, “OUCH BRO THAT WAS MY FINGER.” Everyone freaked out, knowing it was Justin. The meet and greet started and we could see the girls come out crying and hugging each other. Kenny walked past us and waved and then it was almost our turn. We had to give Justin’s bear to security who I made promise they would give it to him. We walked in and he said, “Hey girls.” Just before we took the picture I said, “I can’t believe this.” We took the picture and then I put my other arm around him and tried to hug him but security began to push me out so I screamed “I LOVE YOU.” For about an hour I cried but then it was time for the concert. It was the best concert I’d ever been to. During ‘Catching Feelings’ he sang directly at me! Then March 5th came and my friend Maddie and I were so so excited. We arrived at the arena at about 3:30 and waited in line to get our wrist bands. I recognized Ryan, the host and security from Birmingham and as I got my wristband I said, “Did you give Justin my birthday bear?” and he said, “Oh we get lots of presents, sorry…wait did it sing?” and I said, “Yes. It had a blue hat and sang when you press the paw.” He said, “Was that you? He wouldn’t stop pressing that thing, he loved it!” I burst into tears, I couldn’t believe Justin had received my present! Ryan drew a star on my wristband and told me to show it to him before I went into meet Justin. I had no clue what it meant. After a long wait it was our turn to go in, and I showed Ryan my band. That’s when he said, “You’re going to meet Justin on your own and so will your friend.” He then mouthed something to the security behind the curtain. I walked up to the entrance and saw Alfredo! He stuck his tongue out at me and I did it back, he laughed and said hey. I completely spazzed out and waved like a freak. I walked over to Justin, who said “Hey!” and I replied with “Hey Justin!” We took the picture and I could feel his hand rubbing my back. Then I asked for a hug so Justin stood back and put his arms open and smiled. Justin hugged me in a bear hug pretty tight so I was like, “…woah” and he chuckled and said, “Aw sorry sweetie.” Then I had to walk out and I said, “I love you so much,” and he said, “Love you too, bye!” I walked out and waited for my friend who also had an amazing experience. I could not get over how amazing he was at hugging, he made me feel so loved and safe. Before the concert I kept my eye on the side of the stage where I knew the crew usually stood. Suddenly I saw Brad so I ran over and asked for a selfie and he said sure! I couldn’t believe it! Then I saw Scooter walked past and yelled, “Scooter, whats up!” He turned his head and laughed at me but then kept walking towards backstage. While we were waiting for Justin to start I tweeted Brad the picture of us. When Carly was on, I felt my phone buzz and saw Brad had tweeted back! I could not believe my eyes! Again, the concert was amazing and I loved when Jaden came out and sang ‘Never Say Never’ with Justin. When Justin was singing Beauty and a Beat, Dan was pulling funny faces at me and I think he recognized me from Birmingham! Later, he threw me his guitar pick! During ‘Baby’ I looked to the side of the stage and saw Kenny dancing and Chaz and Fredo were there! It was so funny! These two nights were without a doubt the best of my life. I’m so proud of Justin and love him and the crew more than I could possibly explain. I NEVER believed anything like this would happen to me, my luck sucks but it did when I least expected it! Never give up, because trust me dreams can come true, I promise. -Emily (@ Suavebieber_) More here: I woke up on Christmas day 2012 not knowing that later that…
