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!
