Today was the meet and greet..I went to bed extra early and got up extra early so i would have time to get ready. When I was finally done, Laura and I got in her car and drove to the concert hall.
There were more people there than I expected. I had brought my newest Dream Street CD to have them sign..just because I had an idea.
Laura and I had tickets for the back of the concert hall so the guys wouldn't see us. After they were done singing, we went out into the lobby with the other fans, and got in line for the meet and greet.
I was getting more and more nervous and we approached the table. Jesse was first, then Chris, Frankie, Greg and finally Matt. Frankie and Jesse had told Chris and Greg that we would be coming, so they knew not to say anything to Matt about me being there if they saw us.
Finally..we worked our way down the table..and I was standing in front of Matt. He had his head down signing my CD insert. "What's your name?" he asked.
"Stacy," I replied. He slowly looked up and saw that it was me.
"Oh, my God..oh, my God, Frankie, Jess, you guys, oh my God!" he panicked. "Oh, my God, is it really you?" he asked.
I took a deep breath and told him it was.
"Oh, my God, I never thought I'd see you again!" he said, and hugged me.
I whispered, "Pick me up at 7..Frankie will tell you where we live," and left him standing there, stunned.
"Oh, my God, Laura, what am I doing? Am I doing the right thing?" I asked.
"I think you are. Stacy, he's gotta know if he's got a kid out there somewhere in the world. I'm sure I'd want to know if I were him," she replied.
"I know, but I'm afraid he's gonna hate me for it,"
"He won't hate you," she replied.
"But it feels like he will, since I kept it a secret from him all this time,"
"I'm sure he'll understand,"
"I hope he will,"
