I woke up at the butt crack of dawn for one reason and one reason only, I couldn't keep my eyes shut for one more second....TODAY WAS THE DAY I WAS GOING TO MEET JONATHAN! I knew I had to be ready by 3:30 so I ran around all morning like a chiken with my head cut off, I had to get new jeans I had to re-dye my hair (it had faded really bad it looked like the color of cotton candy) after all of the madness I had to go through the worst part waiting. I had like 2 hours to kill before the glorious event, so I decided since I am not going to be able to speak when I see him I should probably write him a note to be sure that he hears everything that I needed to say to him. So there I went typing away, this note took a lot out of me and after the fact I was ready, Jon did not know it but he saved my life and I was ready to go give hima big hug and tell him thank you. So the time finally came and I left, I also had to go pick up my best friend. When we finally arrived at his dad's o! ffice I sat with palms sweating, stomach churning, and heart pounding...Jon's dad said well now since everyone is here I will call Jonathan and see if he is ready (we were waiting for Lilly his stepmom to get there) he picked up his phone and dialed and I knew that on the other line was my savior and I almost puked at the thought. Then came more waiting Jonathan was just leaving the hotel, so his dad asked us if we wanted to go and see the stage and everything that has to take place before a show can happen so we said sure and off we went. You actually would never believe how much work goes into that stuff but it was awesome and being on the stage is a whole different thing in itself u feel like a god or sumthing. Then it was time...we walked through the 2 heavily guarded doors and stood waiting in the hallway till Jonathan came out of his dressing room, I could hardly breathe and his dad kept reminding me to breathe...then we saw the doors open and I akmost lost it, but it ! was only Little J (thats Jonathan personal assistant) he came out and talked to us for a few mins then, there HE was. At the first sight the tears started flowing and my throat tightened. He proceded to give both me and my best friend BIG HUGE hugs and he also gave us some pictures and signed them for us, then we took some pictures with him and he talked to us. I brought with me the shirt that I had made it says...I <3 (thats a heart) Jon Davis, and he signed it real big right in the bright pink heart he liked it he said hey thats cool. but the time had come for him to go back to his dressing room but not before he gave out more hugs and took my letter. we all said goodbye and watched his disappear into the room. I felt great it was so awesome and I will always remember it. He is the sweetest guy in the world he is so kind and caring and just the best and Deven (his girlfriend) is really nice too she was with him and she was sweet, but thats the end!
