Come & Get Your Love • Alex Turner

9: When In Arlington

Hello there, Avery!

Aww it's no problem, love. Even though you may not include mini touches to your letters, it's still cute no matter what. I'm just insecure on my own work, I don't know what's wrong with me. Anyways, let's change the topic about this one. As of now, we're in Pasadena.

Soon you will totally meet Miles! He's a nice guy. Been working with him since during our early days. Forgot to tell you he and I are one of the members of The Last Shadow Puppets, another band of mine if me and the Monkeys would not work out on sommat, this is the chance that you knew more about us because of just these letters . It's not an embarrassment at all if I give you free tickets for our next tour in Los Angeles. If you can afford it though, it's a no problem for me.

Your parents and mine totally share the same music taste, huh? I'd say they're the coolest because they listen to pure music than in today's . Just stating facts, really.

See? I told you that you can do it. Don't pressure yourself too much, Ave when you enter your sophomore year. Time quality is the key to reassure yourself in your studies.

Damn, you should visit Sheffield someday! It's really beautiful there compared to London. I mean, one thing I could say between Sheffield and London is that, London is really populated than Sheffield. Sheffield's beauty is extremely exhilarating when you can rest your mind because of the picturesque surroundings such as the fresh mountains, rivers, and streets. I hope you get to visit my home place in the soonest possible!

Love, you're too humble to yourself. One thing I can describe you is that you're really smart. I doubt that. By the way, I forgot to ask you, what are you studying in college? I never got the chance to ask you this when we were still seeing each other.

Oh I see. Jamie's really the answer for your best friend. I told him that, and he immediately asked you for her number, so that he can talk to her, speak to her about her problems, and he'll also give her some advices, I guess? I don't know about him.

When you get there in Arlington , message me in my number immediately, so that if I send my letters to your mail, it won't end up in the wrong place.

Have a safe flight back in Arlington, love, we're going now on the stage to give the crowds the show they deserve.

PS: while writing this, Matt already knew we've been exchanging letters. One night, while we were drinking in my rented house, he saw the scattered papers which included your letters and read them one by one, he immediately teased me after reading those, and I just didn't care at all.

Hello to you too, Alex!

You're such a dork, really. Almost everyday, you'd never lose your compliment skills towards me, huh? Glad to hear about your tour, and I didn't know where's the next stop after Pasadena.

I never knew you had another band aside from the Monkeys. I just heard the band name called The Last Shadow Puppets from the students of my school, and never got to listen to the songs. Damn, I regret so much for not knowing about you more.

Coincidentally, you're right. When they first met after Queen's concert in Miami way back in '75, they got to know more about each other especially exchanging letters and favorite songs . Both of them are a die hard rock n roll fans, that's why I'm addicted to that genre.

I promise you, Alex, I will never stress myself out again, having panic attacks and anxieties because of the given assignments by the professors. I will take care of my responsibilities more and more during these college years.
