Turn up the music, turn down the drama.

mybieberexperience:

My name is Sophia, I’m nearly 15 years old and I recently met Justin. For the last 3-4 years, my mum and I were prime carers for my granddad who lived with us. He had many illnesses including, heart failure, COPD, kidney disease, diabetes, and arthritis. He had no use of his legs and was bedridden in our front room of our house. Despite all the pain he was going through, he always tried to put on a brave face. I always used to go into his room to watch Justin on award shows, music channels, and Never Say Never with him. He always used to shout me when Justin was on the TV. He always used to say, “JUSTIN BEAVER IS ON” but when he actually watched NSN, he had a lot of respect for Justin and could understand why thousands of girls admired him so much. Because I was always helping my mum with my granddad, he said to my mum, “Could we enter Sophia to one of those shows where dreams come true to meet Justin because I know how much he means to her and it’s a thank you from me for her help.” My mum even attempted to write to a letter to Daybreak (a morning show in the UK) but didn’t know what to do, so never sent it. She entered me in many competitions to meet Justin but I didn’t even know. 9 weeks ago, my granddad was getting worse, 7 weeks ago the doctor told us he was dying. He gave us the option for him to be in hospital or be at home. We said for him to stay home as their was nothing the hospital could do that we couldn’t. From that day, the next 2 weeks were horrendous. 3-4 times a day he was having hypos (low blood sugars) and it was a battle to even get him to drink, he wasn’t eating and was only on fluids. In these 2 weeks, I was still going to school trying to act like everything was OK but inside it was killing me. My best friend Tamara was helping us in the morning as it just got to hard for me and my mum to do it ourselves. My mum found out Justin was coming to the UK on 23rd of April, so my mum spoke to the school and explained the situation and asked for permission to have a small break to recharge, as it was too stressful for me. The school said it was fine and authorized my absence at school. So here it begins….My friend Amy and I went to London on the 23rd of April (Monday Tea time). Originally we thought we were staying at a friend’s house, but due to an illness in her family we was unable to stay. As Amy was only 17 we were unable to get a hotel because you had to be over 18. We decided, well really had no option but to just stay outside Justin’s hotel for the night. No blankets, no shelter, nothing. Just the hope of seeing Justin. When I first got to Justin’s hotel, I felt so excited yet anxious to what was going to happen. At about 1:00 am Tuesday morning, Scooter came out and told us to go home and get warm, and he promised us we would meet Justin. But we had no where to go so we just circled the area. At about 9:00 am on Tuesday, there was about 20-30 people outside his hotel. I knew I wasn’t going to get a photo but I still has the chance to see him. It just so happens that we saw a car at the bottom of the hotel drive and 4 girls were crowding it. Amy and I ran to the car and it was Justin. It felt like my heart fell to my stomach, I was in complete shock. My eyes lit up and all I could say was, “I love you Justin” He held my hand through the car window and said, “I love you too” I didn’t know what to do with myself. He was looking right at me. He then drove off and we found out he was at KISS FM. Justin came out and there were paps EVERYWHERE. He said “Hi how are you” and I said “Hello Justin I’m good how are you” He then replied “Good thanks” Then papps went mental, everyone was crowding and it was just crazy. I felt so scared, not just for myself but for Justin, it was so unsafe. He the got in the car and drove away. My friends and I headed back to the hotel. We was looking though Twitter when my friend Lauren said, “Sophia is that you?” and it was a picture the paps took of me with Justin! Unknown to me whilst all this was happening, my granddad was rushed into hospital. My mum never told me as it would make me want to come home, so she just left it and let me enjoy myself. I waited all night again to try meet my idol. The early hours on Wednesday morning at about 1:30 he actually came out. We all stood there hopeless, then he walked out and said “Hi girls” We were all in complete utter shock. We asked for a quick photo and he said, “Of course” We all got photos with him and spoke to him about BELIEVE, and the Summer Time Ball. He asked if i was going and I said yes! He asked if I was excited, I said yes! In the back of my head all I was thinking was: OMG OMG OMG. Justin then said he and to go, so I asked for a hug and he accepted. I hugged him and it felt unreal. When he was walking to his car I shouted, “THANK YOU SO MUCH JUSTIN” He said, “Anytime.” He is literally the most sweetest, most perfect human being you could ever meet. Trust me his is flawless. I rung my mum up to tell her I was crying my eyes out. I fell to the floor. My mum was crying too but not just because I met Justin, but because I still didn’t know about my granddad. I then waited 4 hours for my train to come. I was absolutely exhausted and emotional. I just wanted to get home to see my granddad and my family to tell them all about my experience. I then got home and my big sister was waiting for me. I realized my granddad wasn’t home, neither was my mum. My sister then told me he was rushed into hospital. My sister gave me the option to stay home and get some sleep and go to the hospital later on or go with her then, I chose to go with her then. I got to the hospital and saw my granddad laying there helpless, my heart was breaking. I felt it wasn’t right to bring up me meeting Justin because he looked so ill. When he was looking a little better I said, “Granddad, you know that boy I adore, Justin Bieber?” He slowly nodded, I then said “Granddad. I met him” His eyes just lit up, and turned to me. I showed him the photo and it was the first smile we had seen from him in weeks, yet months. He then just kept holding my hand and he said to me, “I am so happy for you” and that was the last thing he said to me. The following morning when my mum and sister got up at 9:30 am, I was suppose to be going up in the afternoon, but by 10:00 am he passed away. So indirectly through my granddad and Justin, my dream actually came true, but not just mine, my granddad’s too. Justin has helped me through his music, to cope with the hard situation with my granddad. I am mainly writing this to thank Justin. Also in memory of my granddad. I am not writing for any sort of attention; people say I am so lucky, but they don’t know the story behind this. I am very grateful but it also tears me apart that I have lost my best friend. I just want to thank my mum, Tamara, Amy, Lauren, Scooter, and Twitter friends that I have never met in person that influenced me to never give up and that there is hope. I just had to believe in myself. R.IP. granddad. <3 -@SophiaxAllinson & @SophiaBieberXxX
