Summer 2010
It was finally summer, the time I absolutely adored. I had just finished my junior year of High School and was ready to kick back and enjoy the break before being overwhelmed by the drama of Senior Year.
I was in my room, blasting Justin Bieber (who I was absolutely IN LOVE with), while packing for my one-week trip to Las Vegas, which I would leave for on Saturday.
I had a 2-hour layover in Atlanta, Georgia. I was incredibly excited about this because I knew that Justin was on tour at the time, and I knew he lived in Atlanta. I usually had pretty good luck, considering earlier on in the year, I had met the Jonas Brothers in an airport, so I was hoping I would meet Justin Bieber in Atlanta.
When I arrived at the Atlanta airport, I was walking around with my mother, trying to find a place to shop while we wait for the plane to leave. As we passed by a newsstand, I stopped dead in my tracks, took a double take of the line, and gasped while holding in my scream. I couldn't believe it.
Standing in the line was none other than…
JUSTIN DREW BIEBER!
I tried so hard to not start screaming out of excitement, I just stood there, jaw dropped, gasping every now and then. At one point, he turned around and smiled at me. I begged my mom to let me go off and talk to him.
Claire: Hey, mom, can I have 15 dollars to buy some food and maybe a few magazines?
Mom: Yeah, sure. But what about staying together for when we need to head to the gate to board the plane?
Claire: Just call me when it's time to go?
Mom: Case, I don't know.
Claire: PLEEEEEEASE MOM!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
Mom: Oh, alright.
Claire: Thank you soooooooo much! (:
So I went off to the store, and approached Justin.
Claire: heyy.
Justin: hi.
Claire: what's up?
Justin: not too much, sorry to be rude, but do I know you?
Claire: no. But I saw you in concert a few weeks ago in Virginia, and I thought you were really cute and I just had to talk to you.
Justin: haha, uhhh, thanks?
Claire: Sorry if I'm being kind of creepy. I tend to get like that at times.
Justin: no, no. You seem really cool. Sorry to be rude again, but what's your name?
Claire: oh, right. Hehe, I'm Claire.
Justin: Claire, hmm. I like that name. Oh, and I forgot to mention, you're like…really insanely beautiful.
Claire: omg, wow. Do you really mean that?
Justin: yeah.
Claire: omg, wow, thanks. That means a lot coming from you.
Justin: So, do you want to take a walk with me? I think I want to get to know you better.
Claire: yeah, of course. I have two hours to kill before I get on a plane.
Justin: really? Me too. Where are you going?
Claire: Vegas.
Justin: no way! Me too!
Claire: really? That's awesome!
Claire's POV:
"Oh my god, Justin is just as amazing as I imagined he would be. I can't believe this is really happening to me. I know I barely know him, but I think I just might be falling in love with him"
Justin's POV:
"Wow, this Claire chick is absolutely incredible. She's not like any girl I've ever met. I can't believe it's only been close to an hour and I'm already falling in love with her. I just can't help it though. She's so down to earth, I don't think I'll ever find another girl like her. I need to make this last as long as possible"
So, Justin grabs my hand, which makes my head spin. I was ecstatic. I just couldn't believe I was walking around the Atlanta airport holding hands with JUSTIN FUCKING BIEBER!! So, we sat down on a bench, and Justin put his arm around me and started playing with my hair. I instinctively put my head on his shoulder. All of a sudden Justin turned to me and said…
Justin: Claire, I've been meaning to ask you…do you have a boyfriend.
Claire: Nope. I'm single. I rarely ever get boyfriends.
Justin: I find that slightly hard to believe.
Claire: Well believe it, because it's true.
Justin: Okay, anyway, my point is. Do you want a boyfriend?
Claire: yeah, I really wish I could find someone though.
Justin: I think you already did. (smiles)
Claire: oh?
Justin: mhm.
Claire: wait, are you asking me out?
Justin: yeah, so will you go out with me?
Claire: one thing first, slap me because I HAVE to be dreaming, this can NOT be happening to me!!!
Justin playfully slaps me on the arm, my eyes grow wide and I gasp.
Claire: OH MY GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING!
Justin: Well, believe it baby. So, what's your answer?
Claire: OF COURSE I'LL GO OUT WITH YOU!!!
Justin: awesome!
So, Justin motioned for me to come sit on his lap, and he positioned his arms so they were locked around my waist, and I locked mine arms around his neck. At that moment, Justin leaned in and kissed me. I felt like I could fly. Time flew by, and before I knew it, my mom called and told me it was time to go to my gate to board the plane, Justin had to leave at the exact same time. Justin said he would walk me to my gate, so he asked what gate I was in…
Claire: 19C.
Justin: Seriously? That's where I'm going!
Claire: omg. For real?
So, we walked to the gate holding hands. I told my mom that Justin asked me out. And I texted my friends, although most of them didn't believe me. I just had to ask what Justin's seat number was because I knew I was sitting in a row alone.
Claire: hey, what's your seat number?
Justin: 20B
Claire: NO FUCKING WAY!!! I'm 20C!!!
So, we got on the plane, and went to our seats. We spent the whole time talking, laughing and holding hands. I was happier than ever.
Claire's POV:
Oh my god, I can't believe I'm DATING Justin Bieber, could my life BE anymore perfect?! I'm going to Vegas, he's going too, and we coincidentally ended up having seats right next to each other. Is this fate or what?! I have to ask what hotel he's staying at.
Justin's POV:
I can't believe that in just 2 hours, I've met the girl of my dreams, and now I'm DATING her! We're both going to Vegas, and we both have seats next to each other, how perfect is this?! I wonder what hotel she is staying at?
Justin & Claire (in unison): What hotel are you staying at?
Justin: You first.
Claire: No you.
Justin: Same time?
Claire: Sounds good to me.
Claire: Okay. 1….
Justin: 2….
Claire: 3.
Justin&Claire: The Mirage.
Justin&Claire: ARE YOU KIDDING?!?!!?
…whoa.
Claire: Can this day GET any better?!
At that point, Justin leans in and kisses me passionately.
I take a second to catch my breath.
Claire: okay, so it CAN get better.
So, on the plane, Justin and me were listening to my Ipod. So, I got really tired, and fell asleep on Justin in his arms. I woke up a few hours later, and Justin simply said "morning beautiful". I simply smiled and said "hey". The plane finally landed in Vegas, and we got off the plane. We both went their separate ways for a while, and then met up with our parents. As soon as I had service on my cell phone, I went off into a corner and called my best friend Hayley.
Hayley: Hello?
Claire: AAAAAAAAH!
Hayley: Claire?
Claire: *gasps* I'M DATING JUSTIN FUCKING BIEBER!!!! AAAAAAAAH!!!
Hayley didn't believe me, so I sent her a picture of us on the airplane making out, and then she was like…
Hayley: Holy fuck, you really ARE dating Justin Bieber! How did it happen tell me everything!
So, I told her the whole story.
Hayley: oh my god. That is the most adorable thing I have ever heard!
I met back up with my parents and headed to the shuttle that would take us to the hotel. Justin was on the same shuttle with his family. I sat down next to him and Justin held my hand. We walked in the hotel, and stood in the lobby while our parents waited in the long line to check in. Justin started dragging me across the lobby and around a corner. Once around the corner, out of our parent's sight, Justin romantically pushes me up against the wall, and kisses me like never before. We had about a 4-5 minute make out session before…. "BABY BABY BABY OHHHH. BABY BABY BABY NOOO" It was my phone, I blushed a little at my ringtone. Justin giggled. It was my parents calling to say they were done checking in, and that we were in Room 1520, about 5 seconds after I got off the phone, Justin's parents called and told him their room was 1522. Justin and me were absolutely ECSTATIC. We got into the elevator, alone, I grabbed her neon green and pink luggage and told my parents I was going to go up to the room and change really fast, then go explore the hotel with Justin. My parents said okay, since my mom was planning to go to the Casino for a few hours with Justin's parents, and my dad had to go to a meeting, and then dinner afterwards for work. Once we got off the elevator, Justin carried my luggage for me. So sweet! So, I opened the door to my room and couldn't believe it. It was HUGE! 2 bedrooms, with a bathroom in each, and damn…this room had a fucking KITCHEN!! I was NOT expecting this for my room. I entered one of the bedrooms, and organized my stuff. Justin just sat on the bed and turned on the television. I opened my suitcase and pulled out my Hollister swimsuit and shorts, and an Abercrombie tanktop. I went into the bathroom, and couldn't believe my eyes, THE BATHROOM HAD A FUCKING HOT TUB IN IT!!!
Claire (from bathroom) : OH MY GOD! JUSTIN! COME HERE! YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS BATHROOM! IT'S INCREDIBLE!
So, Justin comes in, and all he can say is "Damn! Forget the pool, who needs that when you have like, a personal one right here?" I was just like I know right?" So, Justin leaned in and kissed me before he went back into the room so I could change. I came out, and Justin motioned for me to come sit on the bed with him. He put his arm around me and then pulled me back so they were lying down on the bed. We got under the covers, and Justin leaned over and started tickling me like crazy. I loved it and hated it at the same time. I started screaming. So, then we started making out for a while, at that point, Justin got up and went into his room for a second. When he came back, he was in some sweatpants and had no shirt. I couldn't help but stare at his gorgeous, rock hard abs. So, he headed back to the bed, which was when I realized, my mom was at the Casino along with Justin's parents, and my dad was working. And after playing at the Casino, my mom was going to go shopping to buy some food and whatnot, and was going to call on the way back. We had the entire room to ourselves, oh the things we could do. Haha. So, we crawled into the bed, and Justin rolled on top of me. We hooked up for about an hour, before we decided to have some incredibly hott sex. Hahaha. We were lying in the bed cuddling, and Justin was stroking my hair, and I had my head on his smooth, warm chest.
Claire: Look, I know I've only known you for not even 24 hours, but honestly, you're the sweetest, most incredible guy I have ever met in my life. Honestly, when you asked me out, I wanted to faint because I couldn't believe a guy like you actually wanted a girl like ME. So, all in all, I know it's really early for this, but I can't help myself…Justin Drew Bieber, I think I love you.
Justin: Claire, I asked you out because I've never met another girl like you, and I'm not sure I ever will. You're irreplaceable, and truthfully, I never want to lose you. I never expected to fall for someone so hard, so fast, but I love you Claire, and that can never change.
So, at that point I almost started crying.
Justin: Babe? What's wrong?
Claire: Nothing, I'm just so happy. No guy has ever said anything like that to me before, and I can't believe you're the one saying it. This whole day feels like a dream. But, in my heart, I know you mean every single word of what you just said. Wow, I can't believe it's only been a day, I feel like I've known you my whole life.
Justin: I mean it all, every single word. I'll never let you go. Oh! That reminds me, when we were on the plane, and you were asleep in my arms, that was when I realized that I was in love with you, and I wrote you this song. I'll be right back, I have to go get my guitar from my room.
So, Justin got up to grab his guitar, and when he came back he sat on the foot of the bed in front of me, and started to tune his guitar. Then, he started to play. This song is called "Never Let You Go".
His sweet voice filled the room.
Oh no, oh no, oh
They say that hate has been sent
So let loose the talk of love (of love, of love)
Before they outlaw the kiss
Baby give me one last hug (last hug, last hug)There's a dream that I've been chasing

I'll never let you go
I couldn't help but cry because I was so happy. Justin put down his guitar, and I crawled across the bed, and Justin just took me in his arms, we hugged for a long time, I was absolutely speechless. I couldn't believe Justin Bieber just sang to me personally, AND wrote a song about me. So, then, my mom called and said she was on her way back, so Justin had to leave, but I gave him my number and we were texting all day, whenever we were apart. Next thing I knew, it was 1am, and I have my tradition of going out in the hotel hallway at 1am and hanging out, so I texted Justin and told him to come out. So, he came, and we kissed, and just chilled in the hallway in our pajamas. Then, I decided it would be funny to go ride the elevator to all floors up and down. It was strangely entertaining.
The week flew by, and the next thing I knew, it was time for me to go back to Virginia and Justin had to go back to Atlanta. I was so sad, because that meant I had to leave Justin. So, once I finished packing all of my things, I said goodbye to Justin and we hugged for the longest time. Then he kissed me.
Justin: I'm going to miss you like crazy.
Claire: Same here. This was the best week of my life, and I wish it didn't have to end. But I promise I'll text you every single day!
Justin: You better.
Claire: haha.
Justin: I'm serious. If you don't I just might have to come to Virginia, and hunt you down.
Claire: And why would that be bad? Haha. You're funny.
Justin: hahah, I love you Claire.
Claire: I love you too Justin.
So, I went back into my room and my mom called me over.
Claire's Mom: CLAIRE!!!! COME HERE! WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING.
To Be Continued…
