[a/n so let's just pretend that darren is 25 during this tour. I know it's not realistic but It makes the story work and Mia and Darren are not dating in this fic just best friends :D]
Addilyn's POV
My alarm just woke me up. It's 9:00 am. Today is the day that I get to meet my idol Darren freakin Criss! Oh ya and Lea Michele will be there too. Darren has been my source of happiness for as long as I can remember. Ever since he's blessed my tv screen on glee I haven't stopped being a fan. I've watched every show/musical/movie he has ever been in. So I think it's safe to say that I'm his biggest fan.
I was about to get out of bed when my phone buzzed. It is probably from my best friend Weston. He tends to be a morning person.
(9:01)
ADDY! Today is the day. Hope your dressed I'll be at the door in 3 minutes 3
(9:02)
WESSS! I know... and yes I'm dressed now hurry up I'm going crazy.
Weston is also a Darren Criss fan he wasn't a HUGE fan but he liked his work... so of course we both bought tickets. And not just regular tickets... no we got meet and greet tickets. To say I'm excited is an understatement.
(9:06)
Open the door I'm here.
I rolled my eyes at the text and ran to the door.
"Could you not have knocked like a normal person would" I said with a small smile.
"Ok a) my hands were full with *your* coffee and b) since when am I a normal person"
"Ok ya you have a point".
We made our way into the kitchen so we can drink our coffee and eat a small breakfast.
"So..." Weston started. "Are you excited, nervous, scared...?"
"All of the above." I really was excited. But I think I was more nervous to meet him. The saying "never meet your idols" keeps playing in my mind. I just don't want it to be a bad experience. Weston caught onto my nervousness.
"Addy it's going to be fine. He is a great guy and will love you no matter what. That means even if you make a complete fool out of yourself." Weston laughed.
"Omg Wes what if Chris Colfer came!" I exclaimed. Weston is a huge Chris Colfer fan. I know the chances of him actually going is slim to none but it's still pretty funny to think of Weston being starstruck.
"Shut up you bitch" Weston joked.
We ate our breakfast and drank our coffee while talking about what songs they're going to sing. I said that they are going to sing 'don't you want me' but Wes thinks they will sing 'Suddenly Seymour'
"Crap" I said as I looked at the clock. It said 11:30. "we better start getting ready if we want to be early for the meet and greet." The concert starts at 7:30 but the meet and greet is at 1:00. The drive to the theater was 30 minutes.
I go into my room to get ready while Wes goes into his room to get ready. Weston and I have lived together for almost 2 years. We moved in together after collage.
Now comes the part I'm dreading... The outfit. I don't know if I want to go dressy, casual, or full on fangirl. Okay obviously not the last option. I put on a tank top summer dress that goes to about my mid theigh.
I look down at my wrist and see the scars. Yes before you ask I used to cut. Not anymore. I stopped. Well that's what Wes thinks at least. I went through a really dark time last year when my mom died. I felt alone and like nothing mattered in my life. The only thing that reminded me I wasn't alone was Darren. I wasn't lying. I don't cut as much anymore. The last time I did was last month. The scar is still fresh so I have to cover it up.
I decied I would put on a light cardigan over my dress. I put on my black heels. And put my hair into a half up half down type hair style and curled it. My makeup was quiet light. Mascara, eyeliner, lipstick, and a small amount of highlighter.
Once I finished getting ready it was already 12:15. I walked into the living room to see Weston on the couch wearing a nice button down white shirt with dark purple tight jeans.
"Damn girl, you look hot" Wes said getting up from the couch. Before you ask... no Weston and I are very much not dating. I'm pretty sure he's gay but he won't admit it. And I'm not going to make him. He can come out to me whenever he's ready and I will love him no matter what.
"Back atcha" i said with a goofy wink.
"Ok we better get going we don't want to be late." Chris said as he grabbed my hand and ran me to the car.
The drive to the theater felt like it took forever. Even thought we got here in less than 30 minutes. We got out of the car and made our way to the entrance.
"Wes. I can't. I can't do this. You can go I- I think I'm going to wait for the concert." I said about to throw up
"Addilyn Jade Carson snap out of it." He said clapping in my face. "This is your chance. *your chance* to meet your idol. I promise you will be fine."
"Thank you Weston." I said giving him a hug. I honestly don't know what I would do without him. He's my person... as cheesy as that sounds.
"Ok" he said pulling away from our embrace. "Now let's go make your dream come true".
We made our way into the theater and went through the security check with no problems. We slowly made our way to the meet and greet line not wanting to be first in line. But no matter how hard we tired we still ended up being second in line with about 20 minutes left until it starts. There was a lovely couple that looked around our age. They told us they were mainly here to see Lea Michele.
I heard voices coming from behind a big red curtÃan. It sounded like Lea Michele but I wasn't too sure until the girl in front of us whispered "omg is Lea Michele"
After another 5 minutes a security guard came out from the curtain and began to talk.
"Okay everyone please pay attention I'm only going to say this once. Each person is givin a maximum of 3 minutes with the performers due to the amount of people who got meet and greet tickets. You are allowed to do anything that the actors are comfortable with so please do not attack them or kiss them just be respectful." Everyone laughed at this last sentence.
"You can choose to go in by yourself or you can in with a partner and have 6 minutes with the performers. Choose wisely. Ok if you will follow me you are first to meet the performers" the guard said the last sentence directed to the couple in front of us.
"Hey Wes is it ok if we go in separately. And maybe if you could go in before me I'm to nervous." I said nervously.
"Of course I can. I'll talk you up watch me." He said as the guard guided him into the room.
Omg this is actually about to happen. I'm going to meet Darren I'm going to HUG DARREN FREAKING CRISS. I- I don't know what to think. I'm going to male a complete fool out of myself.
I got brought out of my thoughts by Lea Michelle and Darren Criss laughing loudly. Wow I guess Weston really made a good impression.
"Next" i heard the guard yelling. I froze in my spot not able to walk. "Next" the guard yelled again. I unfroze and made my way into the curtain. As I walked in I saw Darren standing next to Lea. My heart felt like it stopped beating. He is WAY hotter in real life.
"Hi. I'm Darren and you must be Addilyn" Darren said walking towards me.
"I-uh I- yes" I finally stuttered. He pulled me into a big hug and wrapped his muscular arms around my torso. And oh my gosh does it feel good being in his arms. I could get used to this. But sadly he pulled away.
"So your little friend told me your my biggest fan" he blushed.
Wait! what? He blushed. Why would he blush.
"Oh gosh what did he tell you" I said putting my face in my hands.
"Just that you've watch everything Darren Criss related" he said grabbing my wrist.
When he grabbed my wrist I winced a little. Damn. that stupid fresh scar. Darren caught on to what it was because he immediately wrapped me in his arms again and whispered into my ear.
"Addilyn please don't ever do that to you self again. Okay? You are far to beautiful for that" he said while brushing my hair with his fingers.
"Hey times up Darren" the guard told Darren.
"Hey just give us another minute" Darren said.
"I-I'm sorry i know it's selfish. I just have been having a rough time this year. And I just felt so alone." I said with tears escaping.
He wiped my tears away with his finger and spoke.
"Addy you not alone. Ever. Here" he said writing something on a piece of paper. "If you ever and I mean ever need someone to talk to feel free to call or text me." He said with a smile.
I smiled back at him not really realizing what just happend, and then realized I completely ignored Lea Michele.
"Oh my gosh Lea I am so sorry I didn't mean to just ignore you. I am so sorry." I said feeling terrible.
"Oh honey it's ok. Your friend told me what to expect. I understand. Darren is a charmer" Lea said with a smile.
"Ok well we should probably get our picture before we get in trouble" Darren suggested.
We took our pictures and I got my stuff ready to leave. Before I could walk out I felt an arm grab my shoulder.
"Hey addy. I mean it please text me." Darren said and pulled me into a tight embrace. "Oh and you look really pretty today" he said with a wink once he pulled away.
I walked out of the curtain not believing what just happened. My mind was all over the place. Did Darren motherfucking Criss just give me his phone number and say I looked pretty.
"Addy are you okay you were in there for like 10 minutes I thought you passed out and they had to wake you up or something crazy." Weston said worried.
"Uh Weston. Look...at...this" I said giving him the paper with Darrens number on it.
"Holy shit Addy. What did you do to get this" he said barley above a whisper.
"Look I'll tell you but you can't be mad and we have to wait until we get back into the car before I tell you."
"Ok well then let's go"
"Oh and give me back that paper I really don't want to lose it" I said snatching the paper back.
We made our way back into the car and I immediately put Darren's number into my phone.
"Ok spill what did you promise this man" Weston said jokingly.
I told Wes everything that happened up until he grabbed my wrist.
"And then he grabbed my wrist to pull my head out of my face and when he did he grabbed my scars."
"Wait how would he know shouldn't they be healed now it's been a year right?" Weston asked.
"Well... he grabbed a sorta new one. From last month." I said not looking at him in the eye.
"Addy you said you stopped, what happened" he said grabbing my chin to make me look into his eyes.
"It was when you were away for Easter. My dad sent me another one of his harassing texts and I didn't know what to do. I had no one I felt alone like no one cared. So I cut. And it made me feel better." I said with tears falling from my eyes.
"Oh Addy. I'm here ok. I love you and I'm not mad. I could never be." He took me in for an embrace.
"Thank you Wes. You mean everything to me. Nothing you ever say or do will ever make me forget all you helped me through. I love you so much Wes" I said breaking from the hug to look into his eyes.
"Addy I- I do have something I have been meaning to tell you." He started. "Well I've been battling a lot of emotions recently as you know. I think I've always known who I am but have been to scared to admit it. But here I am. And you the first person I've told this too but addy... I'm gay"
I didn't say anything. Instead I brought him into another tight hug. I could feel his cold tears falling onto my shoulders. I realized I'm probably freaking him out so I decided to say something.
"Weston thank you for saying that. I love you no matter who you are or who you love. And if I'm being completely honest I'm happy your gay because if you weren't and you just weren't attracted me to sexually I would very hurt". He laughed at my statement.
I am so happy to have someone like him in my life. And who knows maybe I'll have Darren in my life now. I don't think it's all actually sunken in yet. Like Darren said *I* was pretty. He gave *me* his phone number. Wow just wow
