Guitars and Love

Ashley~
I sat on the chair with my legs crossed playing a game on my phone. Jay and Jake were looking out the window watching a plane take off. Roger was talking on the phone with his girlfriend; he was disappointed that she didn’t want to come with. January came real quick; I’m stoked that were going to France. Tony and the guys were doing an American tour with you me at six and some other bands. We were going on tour with Sleeping with Sirens, Memphis Mayfire and some newer bands. Ugh this game is getting on my nervous, but I’m determined to beat me high score of four. I tapped the screen and went through the pipes, 2, 3, crash.

“FUCK YOU FLAPPY BIRD!” I yelled to my phone.

Jake and Jay turned around and laughed. I got a few other looks by people that were sitting close by. I shrugged and decided to read some of tweets fans were sending me. They all were excited that we were finally going back on tour after so long. I smiled and retweeted a few that made me laugh. I wish I could retweet and favorite them all. I’m surprised some people were still up, it’s one in the morning, but then again there are different times in different places.

Flight 214 to France is ready for takeoff

I laughed; I don’t know why that sounded so funny to me. Do they really say ready for takeoff? That’s new. Jake and Jay came over to me and picked up their bags from the floor.
“You ready Ash?” Jay threw his bag over his shoulder.
I got up from the chair “More than ever” I grabbed my backpack and put in on and reached for my other bags. I threw them over my shoulder and grabbed my rolling bag. Roger did the same and then we all headed to the bag drop off and left our bags on the machine. We went over to the entrance and boarded the plane. I looked down at my ticket and saw that my seat was right by the window, my heart started to race.
“Ill take the window” Roger put his hand on my shoulder and gave me a small smile.
“Thank you” I said as he took a seat, He nodded and I took the seat next to him.
They all knew I was afraid of heights, they made fun of me every now and then. Jake and Jay were in the seats in front of us, they have been talking about something since we got to the airport. I shrugged and put in my headphones, and played my understands by Of Mice & Men. This song always gets me, one of my favorites by them. I felt really tired; I rested my head on Rogers shoulder and shut my eyes. Disappearing into the darkness with the beats and lyrics of the song.


“Ashley”
I felt someone shaking my arm. I opened my eyes to see Roger grinning at me. “Are we landing already?”
He shook his head “No, we land in two hours”
I rubbed my eyes and looked around the plane; there weren’t many people on the flight. I looked in front of me to see Jake passed out and Jay was listening to his iPod. “What time is it?”
“It’s nine”
“Wow I slept for nine hours, when did you wake up?” I looked over at him.
“Like at seven, I couldn’t really sleep” He shrugged.
“Why’d you wake me up?” I glared at him.
He smiled. “I was bored”
“Ill get you back later” I pointed at him.
He grinned and pointed back at me. I rolled my eyes and laughed.

I grabbed my bag and pulled out my sketch book. I grabbed my pencil and looked around the plane. What could I draw? Then my eyes found their way back to Roger who was playing some game on his ipod. Hmm, lets draw Roger. I ran the pencil across the paper sketching his posture; I looked back at him and then back to my paper. Perfect. I started on his face, sketching his eyes and then his nose. Once I finished with that I went onto his lips, taking a quick glance at him. I looked up at him and compared, it looked like him so far. I stared at his hair for a good few minutes then went on to sketching it out. After that I started on his hoodie, then onto his pants. And last I sketched his hands with the iPod. I smiled and then started shading where there needed to be shading.
“Holy shit!”
I turned to see Roger right next to me, looking down at my paper.
“What?”
“Dude, that’s like… perfect!”
I laughed, “You act like you’ve never seen me draw before”
“Its been awhile, and plus it still amazes me” He snatched the book out of my hands.
“Hey!”
“Aren’t you done?”
“No”
“What needs to be done? It looks exactly like me” He put it next to his face.
I laughed and snatched it back and signed it on the bottom. “Now I’m done” I handed it back to him.
He laughed and shook his head. For the next five minutes, he begged me to let him keep. I keep saying no, just to piss him off. He put on a sad face and got closer to me.
“Please”
“No” I tried to keep a straight face.
He did puppy eyes and shook my arm like he was five or something. Ugh! I can’t say no to that face. I gave in and he did a little dance, which made me burst out laughing. Jake jumped up and looked all around, I think I scared him. Me and Roger looked at each other and laughed at how funny Jake looked. Two hours later and growling stomach, I walked over to grab my bags off that thingy. I have no idea what is called, it just know it moves. I threw my bags over my shoulders and grabbed my rolling bag. I tour manger led us to the bus he rented, which was actually nice. We put all the lounge on the bus and got in. We were gonna be using this bus for awhile, so we had to get use to it. This bus was nice, but our bus at home was way better. I sat on the couch and looked out the window, the scenery was absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t wait till our show in Paris, but we had two shows before that. One in Bordeaux and I think the other one is Cannes. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited for all the shows were doing here, I just really wanna see the Eiffel tower. We parked the bus by the venue we were going to be playing at. I got up and looked at the guys. Jay was taking his shoes off, Jake was doing something on his phone and Roger was once again on the phone with his girlfriend. I shook my head and headed out the door. Wow, this place is beautiful and it’s so nice out. I reached in my pocket and pulled out my phone. I looked throw through my contacts and clicked the one that said My turtle.
“Hello?” He sounded like he just woke up.
“Hey babe!” I yelled.
I heard him chuckle “Hi babe, you guys landed already?”
“Yeah, it’s so pretty here!”
“Yeah, I had the same reaction when we first went there”
“I wish you were here, it would be perfect if you were” I let out a sigh.
“I know babe, I wish too. Well plan a trip just me and you, okay?”
I smiled “Okay, wait did I wake you up?”
“Um no?”
I shook my head, “You’re such a liar, and I’m sorry!”
“Its okay babe, you know you could call me when ever and it doesn’t matter what time. I love talking to you so it doesn’t bother me” I could hear the smile in his voice.
I grinned. “Oh really now? Hmm”
He started laughing, “Ash, don’t you go and start prank calling me”
Damn, how’d he know that’s what I was thinking?
“I would never do such a thing!” I tried to hold back my laugh, but failed.
“I know you too well babe” He laughed.
“Hey Ash!”
I looked over to see Roger getting off the bus, I gave him a small smile and pointed at my phone. He nodded and stood standing right there.
“Hey babe, I gotta go, ill text you okay?”
“Okay, love you”
“Love you too” and with that we hung up.
I put my phone back in my pocket and faced Roger.
“What’s up?”
“Were starving, and were thinking of going to get some food”
“Okay, lets go! I’m freaking hungry!”
