I’m Nicole and I’m really excited that I’m finally writing My Bieber Experience. Hopefully I don’t sound arrogant, but I’m not going to lie and say that I never thought I’d meet Justin, because I knew I would eventually since Justin says to never give up on your dreams! On the day of January 23rd, 2013 my biggest dream finally came true. On that day not only did I meet Justin Drew Bieber, I met Alfredo Flores, Scooter Braun and Kenny Hamilton aka my faves. It was a crazy journey that started at about noon that day when my cousin and I arrived at Philips Arena. We were literally one of the only maybe 5 people there. We looked around and spotted where the buses were but couldn’t get down to them. A girl told us that Kenny was at a hotel down the street eating lunch so we decided to go there. We sat in the lobby and my friend Alexis met up with us. That’s when her and I realized we both had the same idea to sneak into the m&g with fake wristbands. As we waited Justin tweeted: “now heading to the arena here in ATL. #BELIEVEtour” and Alexis said she knew how to get down to where the buses were! We all went down to where Carly, Cody and all the buses were and we were the only people there, and Justin was on his way! Cody Simpson walked right by us and said hi, he was heading to his meet and greet so he didn’t have time to take pictures. Then Alexis’ dad who was up at the arena said they were starting to let people in for the m&g and even though I was nervous, I just had to do it. It was the biggest YOLO moment of my life. They said it was the last call for the meet and greets. We ran up there and I went first, the lady saw my wristband and checked my purse and then a man checked it and we were in. We stood in line to go to the room for the meet and greet and Kenny Hamilton walks right by us. We were literally the only ones that noticed him. We said hi to him and asked him for a photo but he was in a rush so he couldn’t. The line started moving, we went down some stairs and we got into the basketball court where is where they hold the m&gs. During that time we tried to get Scooter and Kenny’s attention but we took a creeper photo with them in the back. Soon enough we were next to meet Justin. The security asked us if it was just is three and we said yeah so he pulled us off to the side so he could find someone for us to go in with. As we’re standing there, Alfredo Flores pops his head out of the curtain and we’re like, “Fredo, come here! We have gifts for you!” He came over to us smiling like an angel and Alexis gave him his gift. I gave him the snapback that I custom made that had “BEASTMODE” on it. He looked at it and smiled and was like, “This is so awesome, thank you!” We asked him for a photo and he was like, “I’ll be right back, hold up!” He goes back in the curtain and then comes back out a few minutes later WEARING THE HAT I GAVE HIM and is like, “Okay, lets do this!” Then I was like, “Alfredo, can you give this hat (a custom made snapback that says ‘dope’) to Justin for me please?” and he smiles and takes the hat and he’s like “Of course!” Then it was our turn to meet Justin and we went in the tent and Alfredo smiled at me and said, “Here, give Justin the hat!” and I was like, “Can I?” because you normally can’t directly give him gifts. I got the hat from Alfredo and I just see Justin right in front of me and it’s my turn. I say to him, “Justin, I got you this hat” and he smiles and takes it and said, “This is amazing, thank you so much.” Literally all I remember after that was standing next to him and his voice. His voice was so raspy and low in person, it was gorgeous. Justin put his arm on my back and I put my hand on his waist and we took the photo. Right before I left the meet and greet, I put my arm around Justin’s waist one more time, half-hugged him and told him I loved him. When we left, Scooter Braun was right there so we thanked him for everything and at that point I couldn’t breathe and I was at the verge of tears. It was literally the best day of my life. I went onto my Twitter and I was barely able to type it but I tweeted I met Justin and my mentions and texts blew up. About 30 minutes or so after that, Alfredo tweeted Alexis and I that he loved meeting both of us, he’s literally SO sweet. About a week or so after I met Justin and Alfredo, Alfredo tweeted a photo and he was wearing the hat I gave him. I was freaking out, it meant a lot to me that he really liked it and was wearing it on a regular day of his life! Since then Alfredo has worn my hat NUMEROUS times and I’m thankful. I feel so blessed that it happened, it was literally the best day of my life and just thinking about it brings such a smile to my face because Justin means so much to me. If you’ve never met Justin, don’t give up and make it happen! I went out there and made it happen for myself, so I know you can too. Just never say never and believe! -Nicole (@1256ams) Here is the original post: I’m Nicole and I’m really excited that I’m…
