I met Justin Drew Bieber on October 2nd, 2012 . But before we get to that, let me explain what happened. Around May of this year, I got two tickets to see Justin for my birthday. It was my first concert and my first time seeing Justin live . Since it was my first time going to a concert, my mom told my dad to get me at least decent seats so we could see better. However, when the tickets went on pre-sale, I had to go to school and there was no way my parents were going to let me stay home to buy them, so my dad had to do it. Unfortunately, my dad messed up the seats. When I got home he told me that supposedly he had gotten seats at on the floor and I was beyond excited! BUT when I finally got my tickets, we were in section 301 all the way at the top. Of course I felt like crying. I was devastated but I told myself that I was at least going to finally see him live and I was somewhat happier about it. For a few months I was happy that I was going to see Justin and I was counting down the days until I got to see him. Then on September 24, 2012  I logged on to bieberfever.com and noticed the contest to win meet and greets with Justin Bieber. The deadline was two days away so I thought “Why not give it a try?” Since the contest was to take a picture of all your Justin Bieber merch, I grabbed every single thing I had from him and laid it out on my kitchen table. I snapped the picture, sent it off, and that was it; I didn’t think much of it or get my hopes up too high because I knew it was a long shot. The weekend went by normally and in the back of my head I was still hoping I’d win, but I didn’t let myself get too excited. I went to school on Monday as usual, the contest not even crossing my mind one minute. After school I went home and got changed. Then, I grabbed my ipod like I always do to check my notifications and e-mail. It was then that I saw I had one email from Bieber Fever Contests. I just stared at it for a while, not quite comprehending what was going on. When I opened the email and read the first line “ Congratulations, Gabriela! ” I screamed and ran to my mom to show her the e-mail. She couldn’t believe it until I logged into my laptop and showed her the exact same e-mail. With shaky hands, I quickly entered my information and hit ‘SEND’. The next day I skipped school because I was too excited to go. My mom drove me to the Staples Center and we got there around 2:00 P.M. When we got there, there were some girls already standing waiting for Justin so I went over to stand with them. We waited about 30 minutes until Scooter walked up behind us and everyone ran to him, surrounding him. Even though he couldn’t take pictures he still talked to us; he’s such a cool guy! While the crowd was still surrounding him, Scooter slipped inside the Staples Center and I went to the ticket booth to pick up my wristbands for the meet and greets. That took about another hour or so. When I finally got my wristbands, I waited in line for about 30-50 more minutes. While I stood in line, I saw everyone from the crew! First I saw Scooter again, then I saw Kenny and I said hi and he shook my hand! I saw Moshe, and to be honest he’s too cute omfg. He looked so shy when everyone was saying hi to him! Then I turned around and saw Alfredo, I shouted “HEY FREDO!” and his face was literally like “:D” I laughed LOL. Then I saw Pattie who was strutting around the place bossing everyone around haha, she looked so fab! I called her and she smiled and waved at me and then the security guard was like “Who’s that?” and I said “Justin’s mom” and she was like “Oh no wonder she’s being bossy, she can do whatever she wants.” Shortly after, it was our turn to meet Justin! They put us in groups of approximately 6 people; I went in with this lady and her two young kids. I felt like my heart was literally going to stop when they said we could go in. Justin was standing RIGHT THERE in front of me and it felt so surreal to have him up close. When I walked in I said “Hi Justin!” and he smiled at me and put his arm around my waist for the picture. AND LET ME JUST TELL YOU, HE SMELLS WONDERFUL. But anyway, I also wrapped my arm around his waist. They took the picture but before I left I was like “Can I get a hug?” and he was like “Yeah, of course.” I hugged him and it was perfect. When I walked out, I burst out in tears out of no where and all the people were asking if i was okay but all I could think of was “I JUST MET JUSTIN BIEBER AND HE HUGGED ME.” It was a short visit, but I met him and I just couldn’t believe it. After the meet and greet it was time for the concert and even though I had seats all the way at the top, I didn’t even care anymore because I had just met him. And despite the seating, he pulled off an AMAZING show and I had an overall great time. So now everyone who don’t think they’re going to meet Justin, take my word for it, if you BELIEVE, if you don’t give up, persist, and NEVER SAY NEVER, it will happen i’m sure of it!  Read the original: I met Justin Drew Bieber on October 2nd, 2012.
