This is the first time I met O-town. Miranda and I were looking at the O-town website one night after watching the MTB marathon on MTV and we saw that the guys were doing a meet and greet at a Wal-Mart in Greenville, SC. So we were like HELL YEAH, we are going to that!! So that Saturday we went to pick up my sister Whitney and we hopped into the car and drove the hour and half to the Wal-Mart. We got to the Wal-Mart and waited in line FOREVER!! So after waiting in line for like 5 hours, one or 2 of us getting out of line to go up to the front to try and get pictures or just a glimpse of the guys, we finally get to he beginning of the line. I am sooooo psyched! At this point, I was infatuated with Jacob. I as so in love. And he was last in line so I was like well at least they are saving the best for last. So we get up there and I am the one that is in charge of taking the pics. I was shaking sooooo badly!! It was strange lol But anyways, I get up there and I lay down my poster thing down for them to sign and look up and there is Dan smiling SO HUGE!! He reached out his hand and said Hey, How are you? and I don’t even remember if I said anything except hey. So I shook his hand and he signed my poster and I said “Can you smile
for me?” and he gives me that blinding smile of his and I snap the picture. So next was Trevor. So yeah by the time I get to Trevor, he has already signed my poster and passed it along. So he grabs my hand and doesn't let go....and he looks into my eyes and says Hi there, how are you? And I am like OMG! So I say fine and he still wont let go of my hand and like I said, at this time I was in love with Jacob so I was thinking dude, let go, I want to get to Jacob. So I finally pull my hand away gently and ask him to smile for me and it is
SUCH a cute smile!! So I snap the picture and next is Erik. (Ok, we bought a camera there right when we got there cause we are stupid and didn’t bring one and from going up to the front for all the hours we were in line we wasted almost all the pics and we had like 4 left by the time we got to the front!! So we all decided that we would not take Erik's pic since we only had 4 left and since he wasn’t any of our faves at the time. So I get to Erik and he takes my hand in his and puts his other hand on top of mine and looks into my eyes and says something really sweet, I don’t remember what it was now, but I was like awww Erik is so sweet!! He was really really nice. He wouldn’t let go of my hand either. So I finally get away from Erik and get to Ashley. Ashley didn’t touch me or anything, he was bent over signing something and finally he looked up and I asked him if he would smile for me and of course he did and it was beautiful. (so at this point Ash wasn’t high on my list cause he was the least friendly) But anyways, next was Jake. AHHH finally!!! So I get in front of him and he looks up at me and says “Hey” in this SEXY voice. And I am like “HEYYYYYY” And I
laid down an envelope with his name written on the front and he is like “Thank you!” and he lays it in his lap. Then I am like “can you please smile for me“? And he says sure and smiles this AWESOME smile (this pic I stared at for weeks) And then I pick up my poster and the woman tells me to move along. So I take like 5 steps and I am like OH SHIT! Jacob is the only one I actually WANTED to touch and I didn’t do it!! So I turn back around and walk back towards him and this girl is standing in front of him and the woman making people hurry up is in between me and the girl and Jacob sees me and gets up and reaches his hand around the woman and reaches out his hand and I take it. That moment, was heaven!! I fell for him all over again when he did that!! So I said thank you and he sat back down. Then I walked back over to my girls and I was like OMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!! Then we went out to the car and I just had to sit there for a minute and I stared at my poster and I started crying lol Let's just say that from that point on, I was their biggest fan!
