Eventually her car pulled up, I saw a hand wave through the tinted window, the barrier went up, the car went through into the carpark and I thought that was it L Then the doors opened, the security moved the barriers that had been put up earlier in front of us and then said we could stand against the carpark barrier and Leona would come out to see us. I was so happy I can’t even describe it, my heart started beating so fast and I started walking over but it was like I was numb, I knew I was walking but I didn’t have any control. I stood there and then she came out, my hero! She was wearing a black top and a denim skirt with tights underneath, really cute, I couldn’t believe she was there! When she got to me she started signing my copy of Bleeding Love and I held out the present I had for her, I got her a collection of chocolates ( I’d asked Nicola for advice) and my favourite book. She looked up and it was like she recognised me and she came straight in for a hug, I couldn’t believe it!!!I thought I’d be cheeky and ask for a photo even though they had said we weren’t allowed and they did say no but then she turned to me and said “Aww I think I’m meeting you later anyway so we can do a photo then!” and I went so happy!!!! I couldn’t stop smiling and I told her I loved her, she just smiled! When I went to the meeting point at 20.10 that night I was so happy but so scared! Nicola and Alice looked after me though, they were making me laugh and I was asking Nicola if my face looked ok and just standing close to her for comfort, I know it sounds silly but I was shaking inside. We walked backstage, I couldn’t help thinking I was walking the walk Leona does! And then we waited in the backstage hallway and my brain was working overtime, what would I say to her?! I had some sweets in my bag, I shared them with some of the others, and the security and Nicola lol. After what seemed a lifetime they said she was coming, the doors opened and the most beautiful goddess in all of the world was stood infront of me! She was wearing her opening outfit and I’m amazed I didn’t burst into tears, my dream was happening to me!!! She started talking to the little girls next to me and I couldn’t help just looking at her with total love, and then she got to me and Nicola said “well this one needs no introduction!” hehe and I got another hug! I really wish someone had come with me because so much is a blur!!! But she asked me if I was ok and then looked for what I had to sign, I had my Leona Mafia banner I made and I had another tour tshirt. She went over but I think she got confused because she started signing something else and then did their photos, but she looked back and smiled at me and I melted J Eventually she got back to me and she asked if I wanted her to put Amy on it and I said yes please. I told her I had stopped eating meat and she said well done and that it was brilliant and I asked her if my present was ok and explained the book to her and how special it was to me. I wish I had said more to her but I have told her so many times in my letters how special she is to me. She said she loved it and that it was adorable and cute J Then I asked for a photo and she said sure and I asked Nicola if I could have 2 because I’d look ugly J I stood next to Leona, my hero and she put her arm around me and I think I might cry now just thinking about it!! For the second photo I had my arm around her waist and I gave her another little side hug and a squeeze and my head went on her shoulder for a second and she gave me an “aww” hehe. Then she had to go but I couldn’t stop hugging and just before she walked off again I got another hug in! She thanked us all and then Nicola said she’d get us all back to our seats! I walked back in a daze with Nicola and her mum looking after me and I just hugged what she signed for me. Just before Nicola left me she told me Leona had just tweeted about me too, it was the most special message from the most special lady. Thank you Leona for making my dream come true!!!
