ASHLEY'S P.O.V

I miss performing that's a big part of the reason i'm doing this.

But i'm also doing this for Spencer.

Right now if she wanted me to jump off a cliff I would.

So when she said she wanted to hear me sing it was pretty simple.

I was going to sing.

"Hey Mikey"

Nothing much has changed here.

He still sits in the same spot he did when I played here years ago.

"Hey Ash"

"Can you do me a favour?"

"Yer of course"

"That girl on stage is a friend of a friend of mine and I was thinking i'd get up on stage and sing with her"

"You're going to sing?"

"Yer but I don't want to just jump up on stage without asking her"

"Okay well i'll ask her"

I'm impressed.

Khloe's sister is really good.

"This place is going to be out of control if you get up and sing"

I watch Phoebe as she wraps up her first song.

"There's absolutely no chance she's going to say no but i'll ask anyway"

"Thanks"

I stand to the left of the stage as Mikey walks over to Phoebe.

"Get up here"

When he signals it's okay I walk over to where Phoebe's sitting.

"Okay everyone as you can see Ashley Davies is in the house"

Everyone's screaming as Mikey keeps talking.

"She used to perform here years ago and i'm pretty much responsible for all her success"

When he says that I start laughing.

"She's laughing but I was one of the first people to book her"

I want to introduce myself to Phoebe but it's kind of hard right now.

"Anyway she's going to do a song for you guys with the Roxy's own Phhhhoooeeeebbbbeeee"

When i look over at her she's smiling.

"So please give a big round of applause to Phoebe and her very special guest Asssshhhhllllleeeeeyyyy Daaaaaavvvvviiiiiieeeeessss"

"Hey it's nice to meet you"

I reach out shaking her hand as Mikey walks off the stage.

"Hey it's nice to meet you to"

She looks terrified.

"Sorry i'm a big fan and this is really weird"

When she says that I start laughing.

"That last song was impressive"

"Thanks"

I reach out grabbing the microphone.

"Hey guys"

This place is ridiculously noisy right now.

"Give it up for Phoebe"

When I point at her everyone starts clapping.

"What song do you want to do?"

"I have no idea"

"What songs do you have on your list to play tonight?"

"I had Melissa Etheridge 'Like The Way I Do' which I just did and then I had 'Foolish Games' by Jewel, 'Piece of My Heart' by Janis Joplin and 'Whataya Want From Me' by you"

She has good taste.

"Well I know them all so I'm happy to do whichever"

"I don't mind you choose"

"This is your show Phoebe i'm honestly cool with whatever"

"Okay well let's do your song then"

"Okay"

I walk over and grab a spare guitar off Mikey.

"Do you remember the words?"

When she says that I start laughing and pass her back the microphone.

"I think I should be right"

I take a seat on a stool next to where she's sitting as Mike organises a spare microphone stand.

"Okay guys sorry about that"

I start tuning the guitar as Phoebe talks to the crowd.

"Clearly I wasn't expecting this"

When she says that the whole room starts laughing.

"I actually have her poster in my room so there's a big chance this could all be a dream"

She's hilarious.

"Actually this totally wouldn't be my dream because in my dream we'd definately be do something else"

I can't believe she just said that.

"Okay so this is very real and i'm going to shut up before I freak her out"

I shake my head as I reach out readjusting my mic stand.

"Are you ready Phoebe?"

"Yer"

"Do you want the first verse?"

"Okay"

When I start playing the first few chords everyone knows what song we're doing.

This is one of my biggest hits.

"Hey, slow it down whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
Yeah I'm afraid whataya want from me
Whataya want from me"

She may have been nervous before but she certainly isn't now.

"There might have been a time
When I would give myself away
Oooh once upon a time I didn't give a damn
But now, here we are so whataya want from me
Whataya want from me"

When she looks over at me it's pretty obvious she's not sure when she's meant to stop so I signal for her to keep going.

"Just don't give up I'm workin it out
Please don't give in, I won't let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
Whataya want from me"

This time when she looks at me I let her know i'll go.

"Yeah, it's plain to see (plain to see)
that baby you're beautiful"

The whole room's going crazy.

I can barely hear myself.

"And there's nothing wrong with you
(nothing wrong with you)
It's me, I'm a freak (yeah)
but thanks for lovin' me
Cause you're doing it perfectly
(it perfectly)"

I have the biggest smile on my face when I finish that first bit.

"There might have been a time
When I would let you slip away
I wouldn't even try
But I think you could save my life"

"Just don't give up I'm workin' it out
Please don't give in, I won't let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep comin around"

"Hey, whataya want from me (Whataya want from me)
Whataya want from me (Whataya want from me)"

"Just don't give up on me
(uuuuuuh) I won't let you down
No, I won't let you down"

I nod so she knows to join back in and when she does I stop singing.

"(So hey) just don't give up
I'm workin it out
Please don't give in,
I won't let you down
It messed me up (It messed me up)
Need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, whataya want from me"

This time she gives me the signal and I start singing again.

"Just don't give up I'm workin' it out
Please don't give in, i won't let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, whataya want from me (whataya want from me)
whataya want from me (whataya want from me)
whataya want from me"

When I stop singing the whole room starts cheering.

"Thanks you guys"

I turn so i'm facing Phoebe.

'I'll leave you to it"

I quickly hop up and pass my guitar back to Mikey.

"Thanks Mikey"

I reach out pulling him in for a hug.

"No need to thank me Ash you're welcome here anytime"

He's a good guy.

"Okay well I should probably get back to the table"

"Take care of yourself Ash"

"I will"
