The UK and Ireland tour went crazy quick, much like the US leg. The break with Harry was so nice, but didn't last long before I was swept back up into the busy life of touring. It's been about a month since the Manchester show.

I'm in Newcastle now for my very last show. The show is tonight, and tomorrow marks one year that Harry and I have been together. I really wish he was here, but at the same time I know how busy he's been with filming so I understand that he can't be. I'll see him soon though, which makes me feel better. As soon as I wrap up interviews tomorrow, I'm free to go see him. What upsets me is that by the time I get there, our anniversary will technically be over. But that's alright I guess... as long as I get to see him.

The show is in about an hour and I just wrapped up meet and greet. The opening act was headed to the stage now and I was being dragged into hair and makeup. I put my music on shuffle as I got comfortable in my dressing room. Gabbie starts on my hair, changing it from straight to curls. Once she's done with the front and moved to the back, Rose steps in to start on my makeup. I had been texting Harry when Trey came in with his camera to get some behind the scenes footage for the last show.

"Last show, how ya feelin?"

I sigh as I think about my current feelings. "I will say, I'm actually a little nervous because it is the last show and I want to make it as great as I possibly can. But overall, I'm just really eager to get out on stage. Every single crowd on this leg of the tour has been absolutely incredible and I'm excited to see tonights crowd. I'm also a little sad that this is the end of this leg, but I know I'll be back on the road before I know it so I'm not letting it get me down."

"I think this is the calmest you've ever been when in hair and makeup. You're usually dancing around and pissing off Gabbie and Rose," Becca comments from the other side of the room.

"I'm being nice since it's the last show," I laugh. Gabbie audibly scoffs, followed by a dry laugh.

"Oh bullshit. You've just been texting Harry since he has the night off from filming."

"There's the truth!" Becca laughs. "I know you better than you think, Ava. You love pissing of Gabbie and Rose. It's your favorite thing to do before shows."

"Way to make me sound like a jerk," I laugh, hiding my face while Rose switches brushes. She swats my hands away and glares at me, which makes everybody laugh.

"So I'm curious," Gwen pipes up. "Are you going to continue just doing new legs of this tour or is this it before you release album number three?"

"Well I'm taking the rest of the year off, and when I get back to work I'll probably be too eager about album three to continue touring this one. So new tour, most likely. Who knows, though?"

"Are you making plans without your manager, peaches? That's not wise. Been married to her for 23 years now, I can tell you first hand."

"Dad!" I jump up from my spot on the couch, ignoring Gabbie and Rose as they yell at me to sit back down. "You made it!"

I wrap my arms around him and he lifts me off my feet as he hugs me back. "Of course we did, peaches. Whole gang is here."

"What?! Seriously?"

"AVA I'M HERE AND YOU ARE NOT HUGGING ME, THIS IS A PROBLEM," Lacey suddenly screams as she walks in the room.

"Holy shit!"
