You know the point when your coming out of sleep but it still feels like your dreaming? That's how I feel right now for two reasons. I had a dream last night that Spencer and I were together, and had been since 8th grade. There was no Aiden to keep us apart, or a crazy psycho Paula to make her daughter repress who she was for so long.
It was an amazing dream. And I thought I was still dreaming. I slowly opened my eyes to a head of blonde hair. We were still on the couch but instead of siting, we were laying down. Spencer was on top of me, her head resting just under my chin. My arms were around her waist holding her sleeping form. I take a deep breath breathing in her smell. It isn't something you could buy from a store. Its just, Spencer.
"I was wondering when you were going to wake up." Spencer says making me jump.
She laughs at this. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." She says sheepishly while getting off of me.
"It's okay, I just thought I was still dreaming." I tell her while rubbing the sleep from my eyes and sitting up with her.
"You had a dream about me?" She asks while yawning. I laugh because I understood what she said through her yawn.
"Yeah I did. I have dreams about you frequently." I guess the honesty thing needs sometime to wear off.
"Oh realllly?" She says scooting closer. "What kinda dreams?" Spencer wiggled her eyebrows.
"Spencer Carlin! Are you implying I have a dirty mind?" I ask feigning hurt.
"Well I thought it was only when you were awake but I guess it's when your asleep too!" The blonde girl said earning a pillow to the face from me. "Hey!" She shouted coming after me with her own pillow.
Before she could hit me I ducked and took off running. As I was going around the corner into the kitchen Spencer threw her pillow at my feet making me fall.
I guess Spencer didn't know she managed to trip me, because seconds later she came barreling around the corner tripping and falling on top of me.
"First you trip me, then attack me? That's it your done for!" I yell as Spencer tries to scramble away from me.
I catch her by her ankle and work my way up her body. I hold both her hands above her head with one hand tickling her with the other.
"Ashleeeey! Sttooppp!" Spencer squealed out wiggling around on the floor.
I used my body to hold her down. "Hell no! This is pay back!" I said laughing at her giggling pleas for mercy.
She finally gets her hands free and grab mine holding them above her head. Well this seems familiar. Only this time I'm the one on top of her. I think she realizes it about the same time as I do. She mirrors my actions of the previous day, trailing her hands up my arms and into my hair, massaging my scalp lightly. My eyes flutter closed at the sensation.
"Ash." I hear Spencer whisper.
I open my eyes to find myself staring into hers. She is leaning up towards my face. When I don't move she starts pulling me towards her by my neck. This was it. I was finally going to kiss Spencer Carlin. I close my eyes and start to move towards her.
"Spencer! Ashley! Where are you guys? I've been calling your phones all morning.!"
Aiden.
I have never been more irritated with him than I am now.
I jump off of Spencer faster than...well something really fast! I help Spencer off the floor and walk around to the fridge pretending to look for something to eat.
"There you guys are." He says coming into the kitchen.
"Hey meat head." I say not looking at him.
"Hey Ash. Hello baby!" He says pulling my dream girl into his arms and kissing her deeply.
"Can you not stick your tongue down her throat while I'm in the room!" I yell slamming the fridge door shut.
"Oh Ashley stop being cranky, just because your nervous about today." My best friend said wrapping his arms around his girlfriend from behind. "Whats today?" The blonde girl asked looking from me to Aiden.
"Yeah what the hell are you talking about?" I said just as confused.
"You know..." When I didn't anything, he continued. "Your playing at Grey today!" He said annoyed.
"Oh shit! I completely forgot about that! I have to go get ready, what time is it?" I said running out of the room and upstairs. With everything that happened yesterday I totally spaced about me playing at Grey today. After another few hours I was ready to go. I walked out of my bathroom to find a note on my bed.
Ash,
Aiden and I went back to my house so I could get changed. I can't wait to see you play. You'll be perfect :)
Love Spence.
I was so excited walking in the club. It was packed. At least 70 people were crammed into the small room. I had come here three days ago to practice a few songs.
I was glad Spencer was going to be here, I had written them about her. Of course she didn't know that.
"Hey Ash! Oh my gosh this is so cool! I've never been back stage before!" I felt Spencer slip her arms around me and give me a hug.
I was too busy looking at the crowd. I was nervous.
"Look Ash I'm a rockstar!" I turned around to see Spencer dancing around.
I had to laugh at the silly look on her face. She had her eyes squeezed shut with her tongue out. She had done this before a couple months ago.
It actually inspired one of the songs I was going to sing tonight.
"You look awesome Spence. Now please put my baby down!" She giggle and set down my dads first guitar.
"Sorry, its just so fun!"
"Five minuets Ashley and your on." The stage manager came over and said to me.
"Ohh this is so exciting! I'm going too go sit down, I have a seat in the front row. Good luck!" She kissed me on the cheek and ran out front. I pulled my hand up and touched my cheek where her lips had just been. I'm not nervous anymore. Now if only I could stop smiling like an idiot!
"Next up ladies and gentlemen, Ashley Davies!"
Thats my cue. I walk on the stage to see Spencer and Aiden standing up in the front row screaming their heads off. I walk up to the microphone and began my performance.
"Thank you guys, thanks very much! The first song I'm going to play for you tonight is called She's My Kind of Crazy. I had someone really great inspire me to write this song and I hope they enjoy it."
With that I grabbed my acoustic guitar and stared the song.
She says
"Hey look I'm a rock star"
Grabs my old guitar
Playin' it upside down
Dancin' around
In front of the tv
I look at Spencer and see the look of realization on her face. She knows this is a song about her.
I can't see the movie But when you're done Yeah and she's my kinda crazy Pokin' out her lip You ought to see her when I pick her up Now honey it's a stick shift She never let's me rest But I hear, "Wake up sleepy head" That's my baby
So I just wave my lighter and say
Yeah, rock on baby
I'd rather watch you anyway
Can I come backstage
And get you to sign your name
I'll never wash that thing again
The little games she plays
Lord they'll never get old
She's too cute to get on my last nerve
The way she throws her little fits
There ain't a fight that she can't win
That's my baby
And she's my kinda crazy
She's gotta have that radio up
Bless her heart, she can't sit still
Head in my lap, bare feet on the windshield
Says, C'mon please let me drive
Remember what you did last time
Oh...
Known to roll me off the bed
And steal the covers off my side
And I open up my eyes
And it's all worth the while
And she's my kinda crazy
The crowd erupted with applause. It was truly humbling. I looked in the front at Spencer and Aiden. My best friend had his fingers in his mouth whistling like their was no tomorrow. I looked next to him to Spencer. She had tears in her eyes and was clapping and hollering.
"Thank you! Wow I've never played in front of this many people before! You guys are awesome. We have one more song to play before the next band comes out. I just recently wrote this song. Some things have been happening in my life and I feel like this song sums it up pretty well. This is Think Twice."
I trade my acoustic for my electric guitar and start strumming the intro. I can't help but watch Spencer while I sing the first chorus.
When all is said and done Think twice before you touch my girl
And dead does he love you
The way that I do
Breathing in lightning
Tonight's for fighting
I feel the hurt so physical
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around come around no more
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around no more
The crowd was really getting into it. Everyone was up on their feet with their hands in the air. She spreads her love
She burns me up
I can't let go
I can't get out
I've said enough
Enough by now
I can't let go
I can't get out
I turned from the ecstatic crowd to look back at the girl of my dreams. Wait till the day you finally see Think twice before you touch my girl She spreads her love
I've been here waiting patiently
Crossing my fingers and my t's
She cried on my shoulder begging please
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around come around no more
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around no more
She burns me up
I can't let go
I can't get out
I've said enough
Enough by now
I can't let go
I can't get out
I'm tired of asking
You're gone I'm wasted
My eyes drift from Spencer to Aiden.
When I showed up and he was there Cause she spread her love Think twice before you touch my girl
I tried my best to grin and bear
And took the stairs but didn't stop at the street
And as we speak I'm going down
And burnt me up
I can't let go
I can't get out
I've said enough
Enough by now
I can't let go
I can't get out
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around no more
I get a little to end to my song and slam my guitar down on the stage. The crowd goes nuts! It wasn't an expensive guitar so I'm not to worried about it.
I look down to the front row to see Spencer and Aiden going just as crazy as the rest of them. "Goodnight everybody!" I yell in the mic. I've always wanted to say that!
After the show the three of us headed out to eat at our favorite restaurant, Eddies. Aiden and I walk to the table first and take our seats on opposite sides of the table. Spencer hesitates for a second before sliding next to me in the booth. My best friend gave his girlfriend a confused look.
"What are you doing over there?" He asked a little irritated.
"It's Ashley's big night. She gets all my attention tonight." My dream girl answers sticking her tongue out at her boyfriend.
As we are looking over the menus I feel her hand slide onto my thigh. My knee jerks up into the table almost knocking our drinks over.
"What the hell Ashley?" the dark haired boy asked me. "I..Uh...Felt something crawl on my foot?" I said as more of a question. Aiden just shook his head and went back to reading. Spencer was laughing next to me when I shot her a dirty look. I went back to looking at my menu. The waitress came over to take our order a few minuets later.
"Hey guys welcome to..Oh my gosh Ashley hi!" the girl says a little too loud.
"Umm, hello.." I squint to see her name tag. "Tiff..Tiffany!"
"You never called me." the girl said offended.
"I lost your number." I said to the girl hoping she would buy it.
"Oh okay! Well here you can have it again." Tiffany said reaching for the palm of my hand.
"Actually she is seeing someone!" Spencer said out of nowhere.
"What?" Aiden and I said at the same time.
"Who are you dating Ash, you never told me that." My best friend said hurt.
"Uh.." I didn't know who to say.
"Carmen!" Spencer shouted suddenly from beside me.
"What!" I shrieked. The girl sitting next to me and squeezed my thigh trying to convince me to go along with the story. "I mean...yeah..I'm dating Carmen?"
Sorry if this chapter wasn't very good. My sister was trying to talk to me the whole time I was writing this. I wanted to give you guys something for reviewing. Again my apologizes if this sucks.
