My name is Claudia, and let me tell you something, I don’t stop until I’ve reached my goal, and in this case, I didn’t stop trying until I met Justin . So this is what happened: On March 8 2013, I had to go to a workshop and it finished early, so from there, I went to Justin’s hotel. When I got there, his hotel was EMPTY. My heart dropped because I knew that day was my last chance of hopefully meeting Justin before he tours the rest of Europe. I didn’t want to go home feeling disappointed. Minus six people, the barricades had gone, no paparazzi, and I remembered this morning, it looked like Justin was pictured going into a new hotel. With the beliebers that were there, I asked them if Justin had moved for sure, and they said yes. We all left to go to his new hotel, and I was half hoping that I’d see him , because for the past two weeks I’d spent a lot of time waiting for him, with no luck. I was told that loads of people with paparazzi are there, so I was thinking to myself, “Hmmm, is there any point of me going?” but as usual, my instinct told me to go and try it out at least. Then, about 10 minutes after I arrived with the other beliebers, the security moved all the barricades to the back of the hotel. We all ran there and thought he was coming out that way. Something about the way he laid out the barricades looked strange. They had boxed the barricades, and I was thinking, “How the hell is he going to get out?” One of the beliebers I was with was like, “He might walk out through that little space where the paparazzi were…” but I still stayed put. Little did I know that on the other side, Justin had come out and that’s when the paparazzi started saying stuff to him, no fans were there. The few that were there started crying because they had seen Justin. Then everyone left because it was around half past 2, and they thought that he might have left to go to the O2. I was thinking that it was too early to leave, he doesn’t rehearse anymore so he’ll probably come back and leave again. Then the beliebers I was with, half of them left to get something to eat, so there were only like 6 of us left. I wasn’t expecting him to come back but I took the chance anyway and waited outside his hotel. Then, we started talking to the security guards who were really friendly, and they are both Europeans. Then, a black tinted van parked outside the hotel entrance and guess who came out, JUSTIN. He literally walked STRAIGHT to the girls and I, and I asked him if I could take a photo and I said, “I don’t have a camera!” He was like, “You don’t have a camera? Take it on hers” (one of the girls I met, Tasnim).  So we took the photo, and I didn’t even think to tell him what I really wanted to say to him! My mind went blank. Then he took photos with Tasnim, which he asked me to take for her and she asked him if he was alright and reminded him that us beliebers are there for him. He thanked her and told her that he loves her! Before he left, she asked him for a hug and he said, “Yeah, sure.” Then he went over to another two girls who had the same book that he instagrammed a few days back. He’s so skinny in real life and short but such a sweet kid who truly loves his beliebers. I heard that he thought that he was losing fans so I’m glad that when he came out of his car, (after the paparazzi incident) he came straight to us and talked to us for like two minutes. I just want him to be happy. When he left he was like, “I’ve gotta go, I still feel sick and I don’t want you guys to get sick!” and left. The girls and I freaked out because he was so calm and so were we . It felt like I wasn’t talking to a celeb really, it was just cool. Then after about 40 minutes, he came out again and touched some fans’ hand on the other side of the barriers at the front of the hotel. I walked over to the side of the road and said, “Bye Justin.” I’m not so sure if he heard or not to be honest…but it didn’t bother me, and that’s my story. You know, if there is something that I’ve learned, it’s that, you should never expect what you want to happen, because it doesn’t always work. Justin honestly cares about his beliebers, and if you are calm and there is no paps, HE WILL STOP or make some form of acknowledgement. I always said to myself that I don’t want to scream in front of him if I ever meet him and I didn’t. The fact that someone filmed it too, I will never forget it. March 8, 2013 I also met the loveliest people. I can’t thank those girls I met enough for being nice to me and telling me where the hotel was, taking the picture for me, speaking to all of us and taking pictures with us.  But to wrap this all up, I don’t want to say, “never say never” etc, but if you want to meet Justin, do everything in your power to meet him. If it means tweeting his crew, DMing, waiting outside broadcasting studios/radio stations/hotels for hours, you’ll be happier in the end when you do see him. It’s not as easy as it seems to meet Justin, whether you live in a place that he goes to often or not, but your time will come. Keep supporting him. -Claudia (@ohheyclaudiaaa) View post: My name is Claudia, and let me tell you something, I don’t stop…
