The Wanted!

Where should I begin? Well, my friends and I arrived at the Orlando venue ‘The Social’ around 2:30pm, which was 5 hours before the show started. We decided to go to the back of the venue where their van will drop them off in hopes of snapping some quick pictures. Their manager Martin came out and told us they were in a hurry so they won’t take pictures now but they will after the show. Then Max comes out, and I swear my heart stopped beating. He is painfully beautiful, like seriously. Then the rest of them came out, gave some hugs and kisses to some fans and got in their van. Martin told us they were on their way to Disney for a couple of hours.

Also, my friend Lanaya met them the day before at their hotel and she had them speak to her friend Jonah on the phone. I think it was Jay (or maybe Tom) who pointed at Jonah and told him that he spoke to him on the phone yesterday. Which is super awesome, considering he had never met Jonah! I had to include that here. Let me also say that Max was sketchy when he met my friend at the hotel and didn’t stay to chat with her.

We stayed around that area but throughout the day more crazies came and by the time the guys came back to the venue from Disney a mob had formed of annoying fans. They were all really friendly and talking to fans except Max. He seemed really out of it, and said hello but then went straight inside :’( My friends and I didn’t stop them for pictures because they told us they will come out after the show, so we believed them of course. Then before Tom went inside the venue he gives me a kiss on the cheek and tells me I have beautiful eyes ^_^

I won meet and greet passes through OceanUp so I wasn’t going to stop them for pictures when they came out from their van because I’m fine with taking 1 picture with them and giving the opportunity to other fans. Just incase you guys are wondering why there are no pictures of me outside with them.

So, doors open at 6:30 and so does wall call, which is where my tickets are being held at. How can will call and doors open at the same time?! Anyways, I spoke to Martin when he came out of the van and told him how I won passes and asked him what time would the meet & greet be at. He told me 7:30 but show starts at 6:30 o_O So I already knew this wasn’t going to be smooth sailing.

Will call and doors open later on and I tell them how I won meet & greet passes and ask them where should I stand. The chick at will call didn’t know, the manager of the venue didn’t know, and we couldn’t find Martin anywhere. Luckily we had our friends save us spaces in the front row while we tried to figure out what was going on.

Long story short, we got a hold of Martin and he let us through to see the boys backstage. The room they were in was literally the size of my bathroom. I was basically on top of all of them, it was a TINY little room.

We walk in and Jay was filming us with his flip cam and being all adorable. Tom is behind him and yells “beautiful eyes!” at me. I said hi to Siva first and just give him a kiss on the cheek but he holds me there and says “give me a proper hug!” ha ha. I said hi to all of them except Jay because I couldn’t reach him due to the size of the room. But he sees me and climbs over the bench to get to me ^_^

Then Tom sees the glow stick in my pocket and gets it out and starts shouting “partttttyy!” or something like that. Then he sees my necklace, which has feathers attached to it, and starts saying how cool it is.

This is hilarious because Danny from McFly loved my necklace when I met him, Nina Dobrev loved my necklace when I met her, and now Tom! (all different necklaces when I met them though)

I start talking to Nathan, Max, and Tom about Disney (because I knew they were there). Nathan tells me how they didn’t get to go on the rides or anything because they had to sing for "important people" over there and how Jay was saying inappropriate things and they were all really embarrassed by him.

Then Max leaves the room (because I’m watching him like a hawk) :’( I understand he is having an off-day so I go on to the next guy, which is Jay. We start talking about London and he asks me if I have ever been. I tell him yes. Hoping he doesn't ask me why. He asks me why.... and then I make myself seem like a crazy fangirl by telling him it was to go see McFly. He’s like “awe, yeah, they are wicked. They are all over reality tv shows now!” which was hilarious because most of the McFly fandom agrees that they are famewhores now. He starts telling me how he wants his own reality show but he’s too boring.

We start talking about other things and then says to me “you have beautiful teeth!” and I just blurt out “you have a beautiful face!” – which is absolutely true.

We then sit down to take a picture and he’s says “you have a lovely smile” and cue me dying. Then Jay tells me to photobomb a picture with him, which we did (it was Christy’s picture with Nathan)

Then Nathan takes my camera and tells me he is a pro at taking pictures so we take one together.

Then their bodyguard Kevin comes and tells we have 2 minutes left so imagine 8 people in a small closet like room trying to get to each other quickly to take pictures.

I take a picture with Siva, who I was so nervous to meet because he is so freaking HANDSOME. I'm a bit sad I didn't get a chance to talk to him!

Christy or Alison were taking a picture with Jay around this time (who was in front of Max and I) so Jay is watching me take a picture of me and Max and he says “you have perfect angle! How do you do that?!”

Then I take a picture with Tom, who is absolutely adorable.

Then my friend Christy saw Tom looking upset and asking everyone where Max is, because he noticed he wasn’t there. Then Max comes into the room and I take a picture with him and then we take a group photo.

Then their bodyguard and manager start literally counting down the seconds we have with them, which was so annoying because we are not little kids. We will leave, we where just saying bye to them bro -.-

Then I remember my program so I ask them to sign it really quick, which they do and start passing it along. It gets to Nathan and Jay and their bodyguard is like “you’ll do it later!” and Jay’s like “why? It takes a second”. Which is true bro -.- and of course Max didn’t sign my program because he left as soon as the group picture was done.

Although Max is my favorite and I’m disappointed I didn’t get to talk to him because he was being anti-social. I’m not upset at him because I know he’s not like this on a regular day. Plus I had Jay to focus on ;)

Throughout the show Max was smiling here and there and you can tell he was trying to get out of the mood he was in to try and enjoy this show. It was an incredible show and flew by SO DAMM FAST.

After the show we stayed inside the venue because they told us they will come out after the show. After 10 minutes of waiting, their manager Martin comes out and tells us “they are not inside, and they're not outside”….. NOW IS NOT TIME TO START MAKING ME SOLVE RIDDLES MARTIN!

So we are all wondering what to do and decide to go outside. It was absolutely nuts outside, and that’s that we weren’t even near the crowd. The guys came out for 5-10 minutes before one by one they were taken away, and my friends couldn’t get pictures with them :(

The thing that bothers me the most is how their manager told us they will come outside and meet EVERYONE after and they obviously didn’t. They didn’t even have anything to do or go to after the show so I don’t know what the hurry was for.

I didn’t need/want to meet them again but I felt bad for everyone else :/ 

BUT, overall it was an awesome night and thank god I won the passes from OceanUp because if not, this would’ve been a completely different blog haha.
