Dear Ashton,

23.

Dear Ashton,

Today's the day.

We're on the road now, heading to the airport. 

Its crazy how we all ended up in the states right?

Well, you ditched us, but I understand why. I should never have told you not to follow your dream. I regret it, but I also don't.

If I hadn't, you wouldn't be on tour.

I wouldn't be with the boys ready to show this country what we're made of.

I wouldn't be with Luke.

We're fine actually. That day I last wrote to you saying we weren't, well, he took me out to dinner, and then spoiled me to dessert at home. 

He made chocolate covered strawberries, which shocked me, because they were quite good. 

And then he gave me the other dessert. The soft gentle kind. He wouldn't stop kissing me saying I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

It was incredible.

Another thing. I got my tongue pierced yesterday. 

Remember how I kept telling you I wanted it after you went with me for my double navel? Yeah I got it. It feels funny but I can still talk and sing the same so that's good.

Well, we're pulling up to the airport now.

Write you later.

Love you mate.

Love, Riley.
