It all started when I found out Justin was coming to Auckland, NZ to promote his album on July 19th-20th 2012. I work full time so I applied for 2 days off work so I could dedicate those two whole days to finding him. My friend Briar found One Direction and their hotel when they came here and she is super clever at these things. We knew his flight was due to arrive around 10pm as he was coming from Australia. We decided to go to the Langham Hotel as 1D stayed there and it was a 5-star so at 9:30 p.m. we arrived at the hotel. There were girls everywhere but lucky for us, we are 19 and 20 years old and Briar had an idea we just walk in like we were already staying there, and to have a drink at the bar so we didn’t look like fans. I was so nervous but we just walked in and ordered a drink from a the bar in the lobby. We drove in my car and parked illegally around the corner in the staff parking but it was worth it. About an hour later, the security were getting a bit flustered and unsure of things so we knew he was about to arrive. Younger girls started running in the hotel and they all got sent back outside. We had a perfect seat outside the lifts in the lobby so we could catch a glimpse of him. All of a sudden there was screaming from the back downstairs entrance and we knew he was here. We ran along with a few other girls to go downstairs but there was a bodyguard who wouldn’t let us go downstairs so we all got on our stomachs trying to video him walk into the lobby. We saw Selena walk in she just looked up at us and smiled (she wasn’t too impressed at the screaming) and then we saw Justin walk in but he was surrounded but Kenny and Dan. We eventually left the hotel just after midnight a bit disappointed but more determined then ever to meet him the next day. We drove to my boyfriend’s house which was close the city and we asked him if we could use his credit card to book a hotel room at the Langham. We thought we had more chance staying there so we could listen to security and sort of get the inside scoop on what was happening. Also when we left, the security was asking for our room card to prove we were staying there so we had to get a room card. My boyfriend said YES and we were screaming, we were so happy so there we were 3 a.m. booking a hotel room online. The next day we got up at 7 a.m. and got to the city. We checked in and BOOM we had a room card. During that day nothing much happened. We spent the whole time in the lobby frantically planning, tweeting and listening to everything. We knew he was on level 10 so we rode the elevator about 15 ties trying to see if he was there or if we could see Fredo or Dan. He was preforming a private showcase down by the waterfront so we decided to walk down to see if we could see him. No such luck! But we were interviewed a few times while we were down there. It was 4 p.m. and we hand not eaten anything all day. We walked back to the hotel at night and we saw Dan, Scrappy and Kenny so we got photos with them! We got some hope back. No one had seen Justin, it was so tedious! We went to sleep that night knowing that Justin was a few floors above us. The next day on July 20th, I meet Justin Bieber. We woke up at about 8 a.m. to girls outside our room screaming and singing, it was quite cool. Then we met these two other girls Mel and Jaime who we paired up with for the day. We decided to learn the hotel inside and out so we knew where back passages were and secret lifts and doors. We thought we would drive to the bungey jumping places in the city because he did one last time he was in NZ and we thought he would do one again. Before we left we thought we would ride the elevator to floor 10 one last time. We did and who got in? ALFREDO. Omg we were so excited. We got a photo and he was so lovely! Wow, so then there was no luck at the bungey places so we went back to the hotel because we knew he had radio interviews that afternoon inside the hotel conference room. We waited and waited as the interviews took place but no sign of him. It was now 5 p.m. and we were suppose to check out at 11 a.m. and it was an extra $30 per hour you overstayed. We didn’t care. D.J’s from the Edge came out and told us Justin was going to come out. OH MY GOD. The security told us to wait outside with everyone else otherwise it wasn’t going to happen. It sucked cause we paid to be here but we wanted to see him to we just agreed. There was so much screaming outside and JUSTIN CAME OUT. There were about 100 girls and he took photos with about 3 girls and then went back inside . Me, Briar Mel and Jaime knew secret doors so we ran so fast around the whole hotel and went in through this back exit. There he was. I was shaking so much. First I got a video of us and he’s like “Hey whatsup!” to the camera, then I swapped it to camera settings and asked for a photo and I got one! He was so amazing and perfect and I honestly can’t believe how kind he is. I then just kissed him on the check without even thinking about it. The whole thing seems like a blur so I’m glad i have videos! NEVER SAY NEVER I honestly cant believe it happened. See the article here: It all started when I found out Justin was coming to Auckland,…
