ok so who wants to hear about meeting atl/the concert??????

alright so i need to start from the beginning, with information that i never talked about because i was afraid it wouldn't work out at first. this girl alexa messaged me maybe about two or three months ago explaining that her dad hooks her up with m&g's all the time, and she goes to the same shows i do (in philly) and she saw all my posts about all time low, how much i love them, how much they mean to me, how they've saved my life, and she thought that i "deserved to meet them" and she offered up a m&g. like i said, i didn't want to get all excited over something that might not of worked out, so i just kept quiet about it. alexa and i exchanged numbers, and each and every day it felt more and more real, like it was actually going to happen. the night before the show, her and i were texting about it and i was getting so excited, and couldn't believe it was actually happening to me. i couldn't believe that someone like her just so happened to stumble upon my blog one day and decided that she was going to make my dreams come true. i'm so grateful for her, and hanging out with her yesterday, i actually really like her and i think we're gonna end up being really good friends. she's a wonderful person.

anyways, she told me to be there by 4, so me, my mom, and ashley (my friend that was going with me to the show - she knew i had the m&g and understood that they're my lifesavers, and was willing to wait outside by herself while i met them) left at 3. we got there a little later than expected, and alexa was already inside - she told me to go up the side alley to the side doors and if they wouldn't let me straight back to tell them that bobbi was letting me in. so i did, but the guy still said i needed a pass. so we waited right outside those side doors (meanwhile zack and vinny are 5 feet away from us, unloading their stuff akdhksjah) and i started to panic and sort of think to myself that i knew it was too good to be true. they wouldn't let alexa come back outside, so i was really starting to get upset. suddenly, this woman comes back and says "yeah i'm bobbi, i'm looking for angela." and i was like "that's me!" and she looked questioningly at my mom and ashley, so my mom was just like "i'm her mom, i just wanted to make sure everything was set up and ok, if i could just walk her back or something. i don't have a ticket yet, so i still need to go buy one." then the woman just whips out an envelope and hands my mom a free ticket and tells us to come back. we were walking around backstage, past the dressing rooms, and tay jardine was just sitting there and i almost pooped. we went into this little cafe room-type thing, and alexa, her friend, and her mom were all there. me and ashley sat down at the booth with them, and alexa's mom got up and went over to talk with my mom. we sat there for a good ten, fifteen minutes. right in front of me was an "all time low after-show food" list, which matt flyzik's cell number was written at the bottom. but i would have felt like an asshole if i saved it, so i didn't.

bobbi came back and told us to come with her for a minute, so we all got up and walked backstage again - suddenly a door opens in front of us and rian walks right on out, and alexa yelped. i was just staring at him with this dumbass look on my face. he smiled and walked on by. we kept walking and we were waiting inside the sidedoors that i was previously waiting outside of, and zack walked in and was like "heyyyyy!" and he kept on going to where he needed to be. we were all like vomiting with excitement. then a few other girls came in, and we all went back into the little cafe room and sat in booths again. bobbi said the guys would be coming in to see us any minute.

then it happened. the door opened, and i turned around and alex, jack, rian, and zack all sauntered in. alex looked right at me, and smiled. i couldn't believe it. zack sat next to my mom and zakc "hey what's goin' on!" and i was just sitting there staring at him. joking around, my mom was like "take my picture with zack!" and zack was like "yeah!" and put his arm around my mom and i took the picture. it was funny. i got out of the booth, zack signed my stuff and then i got a picture with him. i told him he's amazing and he gave me a hug. his hugs are super tight and warm. then i turn around and alex is walking toward me and i couldn't even speak. he was like "hey how are you/" and i was just like "....i'm going to cry." and he was like, "don't cry sweetheart" and i was like "can i show you something" and he nodded and since it was only a few people and no one but him was paying attention to me i felt like it was a good opportunity to show him my scars, and when i did he looked so disappointed and was like "promise me you won't do this to yourself anymore?" and i said nodded and he stroked my one arm in his hand then the tears just got wORSE and then i asked him to sign my stuff, and as he was i said to him "i...just want to thank you for everything you've done for me for the past 5 years. you mean the world to me." and my voice was shakey and awkward because i was on the verge of tears, he smiled all cute and akdhsjahdhajs then opened his arms and said "c'mere" and finally, after 5 years of waiting for my time to finally come, i was in alex gaskarth's arms. my hero finally knew who i was, and wanted to hug me. my face was kind of buried near his neck so i said quietly so only he could hear "thank you for saving my life" and i was crying, and he squeezed my tight and said "shhh don't cry." and i squeezed him back and forced myself to calm down and stpo crying. he must have been holding me for a minute at least. then we pulled back and i wiped my face and asked him if it would be weird if i kissed his cheek for a picture. he smiled and said "no i'd love it!" so i was all smiley and giddy and yeah, i kissed him and his face was super scruffy gdjkfgfdsjcasjhfgrew. then after the picture when i started to pull back, he turned and kissed me back, and even though he didn't mean to, his lips touched the side of my mouth and i couldn't believe it, i could have died right then and there. then i asked him if he could write "you're safe from the weight of the world" for me on the piece of paper i had. as he was writing it, he asked what i was gonna do with it and i told him i was gonna hang it up on my wall in a frame so i could look at it every day and remind myself that everything will be ok. he grinned, put his hand up for like a high-five and said "i love you" and i put my hand to his and said "i love you too" and he laced his fingers with mine and i was smiling and it was perfect, then he said he had to go get pictures with everyone else and i said ok, and he smiled and said "see you later" and turned around. i was so happy.

so then i turned around to see my friend ashley getting her picture with rian. after she was done, i had him sign my stuff and then asked him for a picture. it came out extremely awkward - i look clinically retarded and he looks like a turtle. anyways, then i hugged him and told him he was amazing. he petted my hair while we hugged. then someone said that they needed to get the boys out of there and we had to do groupshots quickly and i was like ok cool i'll get my own picture with jack after the groupshot so we i was walking in front of the boys alex smiled at me again and i bit my lip and flailed inside. after the picture i walked over to jack, he signed my things, and i asked him for a picture. he wrapped his arm around me, and i took the picture myself. since i took it myself and i was shaking like an idiot, the picture came out kind of blurry. in all honesty, none of the pictures are really that good because the camera i had with me sucks. i don't feel comfortable taking my good camera to concerts, even though i could have this time because my mom could have just taken it after i met them. even though i wish the pictures looked top quality, to be honest, i don't mind that much because they're still pictures of me with my heroes, and that's all that matters. even if they're the blurriest things in the world, it's still with them, and that's all that counts. anyway, after i got my picture with jack i told him he was amazing and he said "i know" and i laughed and he said "i love you!" and i told him i love him too, then all the boys piled out and left.

we were all so totally awe-struck, and i was thanking alexa and her mom 94872985278467 times for what they did for me. even ashley, who wasn't supposed to be in there in the first place, got to meet them, and she was so excited about it too.

so bobbi told us to go outside and wait in the early entry line so that we could get inside before everyone. but once we were out there, we learned that the m&gs are supposed to get in before the early entrys, so alexa's mom was talking to the woman and got us in the m&g lnie. turns out, we were in some sort of vip thing previously, not a m&g. therefore, we got to meet them twice by getting to go in with the m&gs. we only had time to see jack and alex, though, because we wanted to be ready to book it to the baracade when the guards let us past. when i saw jack he was like "oh hey you look familiar!" and i giggled and was like "my first picture with you sucked, can i redeem myself?" he laughed and said yeah, and i hugged him for a picture. i look awkward but i don't care, because my arms are around jack barakat. before i went away, jack was like "you better stand in front of me during the show so i can stare at your face the whole time!" and i was like "sounds like a plan!" and i was flailing some more. so then i walked over to alex and he beamed and said "you again!" and i was like "yeah. i was too busy bawling my eyes out like an idiot, and i forgot to give you this." then i handed him the letter i wrote him, and he laughed and said thank you. i got another picture with him, he smiled at me and i walked away to wait in the front 'til the guards decided to let us past. once they did, me, alexa, ashley, and alexa's friend (i forget the girl's name, poop) got right in front of jack, against the baracade, and waited for the show to start.

we are the in crowd was great. mayday parade was great. the starting line was never-ending and quite a brutal set to get through. then all time low came on, and it was absolutely perfect. that was definitely my favorite all time low show that i've ever been to, i swear the shows just get better and better every time. jack saw me, and pointed, smiled, and stuck his tongue out. alex saw me too, and he was smiling and looking at me akhdjsahivuerh. the concert was great, and at the end, jack got up right in front of us so he could touch everyone in the crowd like he always does, and i was rubbing his leg, simply because i could. at the end of the night, i got jack's guitar string, which was fabulous.

after the show, i told alexa that ashley and i had to go, and i thanked her for the bajillionth time and gave her a hug. then we went home.

it was a perfect day/night, i'm so glad i was finally given the chance to meet the four boys who saved my life. and i'm so blessed to of had the experience i did with alex. i truly thought i'd never, ever meet them. incredibly things like that never happen to me, and i'm still dumbfounded by the fact it actually did. i keep asking myself it was all truly real, and i can't help but smile thinking about it. my summer has been truly shit up until this point, and now i feel like it's all so worth it. i'm so thankful and grateful. especially for alexa. without her, none of this would have been possible, and i'll be forever grateful.
