World Tour

Chapter 15 – Nashville

They just got on the bus to head to Nashville. Both singers have been okay, but they know they still need to talk about things. They have been busy since they first talked in New Orleans. Spencer is sitting next to Ashley on the bed. They have their guitars in their laps with music sheets and notebooks in front of them.

"Okay, so…" Ashley starts off. "We have the intro, Chorus, and most of the first verse. I don't feel like that is good enough. Let's play through and see if something comes to one of us." Ashley finishing looking over to the blonde. Spencer nods her head then counts to three before they started strumming their guitars. Spencer stopped singing with Ashley after the chorus and let the brunette sing so she can think further.

"You're gonna take my hand

Whisper the sweetest words" Ashley sang by herself giving Spencer a questioning look. Spencer just smiles back.

"And if you're ever sad

I'll make you laugh

I'll chase the hurt" Spencer whispered out after Ashley stopped singing because they didn't really have anymore of the song. Ashley gave the younger singer next to her a smile before writing the lyrics down. They worked like this for the 4-hour drive to Nashville. They were able to finish the song and both women are excited about the outcome. They arrived at the hotel about 6 that morning and went right to their room and went to sleep. Spencer never did get her own room again. They quickly moved back into their roll for one another but they both could feel the change happening. It wasn't just close cuddly friends anymore. Feelings on both sides were starting to show in everything they did together. There is no more uncertainty. They could see clearly how the other is feeling. Neither wanted to voice it because the fear of change. More so Spencer and Ashley don't want to feel like she is being pushy with the blonde. Ashley has decided to let Spencer make the first move. Ashley hopes she does soon.

"Princess, wake up." Ashley whispers into the blonde's ear trying to get her awake. They have a radio interview in 2 hours.

"Mmhmm." Spencer mumbles out into her pillow. Ashley giggles out.

"Get up Princess. We don't have much time to get ready."

"Ugh" Spencer yells out.

"Come on. We have our show tonight then we are off for the next 10 days. Sleep can happen later." Ashley tells the blonde singer before getting out of bed and getting her things ready for a shower.

"You couldn't wake me up after you showered?" Spencer muttered out.

"I could have…" Ashley pauses. "But where is the fun in that?" Ashley adds before she walks into the bathroom. It took both women a total of 90 minutes to get ready and meet John downstairs to head to the radio station.

"Are you flying out tonight or tomorrow?" Ashley asks breaking the silence on the drive. Spencer looks away from the view out the window to Ashley.

"Tomorrow morning. I will be back in L.A by midafternoon. You?"

"Bight and early. My flight leaves at 5. After the show I need to go back to the hotel and get my bags ready. All my clothes are coming with me so I can switch them out." Ashley tells the blonde. Spencer nods her head.

"What are you doing during the break?" Spencer asks looking back out the window.

"I have a couple tv interviews. Other than those I will be at home, preferably sleeping but I have an album to try to finish."

"Same." Spencer whispers out before they climb out of the car and let John escort them towards the building. Both singers sign a few autographs on the way inside. Once in the building they are led to where they need to be. After waiting a few minutes, they are ushered into the sound booth and put their headphones on.

"Welcome back to 107.5 the wolf. I am here with Ashley Davies and Spencer Carlin. How are you doing today?"

"Hi, I'm great. You?" Spencer asks.

"I'm good." Ashley adds.

"Beautiful day here in Nashville. I couldn't be better." The announcer answers Spencer's question. "I hear you guys have a break in your tour after tonight's show. Any surprises?" The announcer adds. Spencer and Ashley look at each other than back at the woman in front of them.

"Not that I am aware of." Ashley answers.

"Your new song Ashley has over 10 million views on YouTube since your show in New Orleans. Fans are loving it. Plan on recording it in L.A?"

"I have a few things to do in L.A while on break so we will see." Ashley answers with a smile.

"Particular reason you wrote it?"

"I just sat down and wrote what was in my head one night."

"It's a wonderful song." Spencer adds taking the attention from Ashley when she notices Ashley doesn't want to go into it.

"So, Spencer your song is still booming from when you played a new song. Plans on recording it soon?" The announcer asks taking Spencer's bait.

"If I have the time while I am home, yes." Spencer answers with a smile.

"We don't have much time today. You guys are busy so let's take some callers after this commercial break." The announcer says then picks up her water. They make small talk before there was a knock on the glass and an older man counts them back into the interview.

"Welcome back. We are still here with the fabulous and talented ladies Ashley Davies and Spencer Carlin. You are on the air with us. What's your name, what question do you have and for whom?"

"My name is Anne. I just want to say I love you both. You are so amazing and great role models. This question is for Ashley. Will you marry me?" The girl on the phone says the last part shyly. Spencer giggles causing Ashley to giggle also.

"Oh wow. I think I will have to say yes." Ashley giggles again. "Are you going to the show tonight?"

"Yes, of course. I will be front row." Anne says.

"I will look for you." Ashley laughs out. "That was great." Ashley adds as the announcer switches to another caller.

"What's your name?" Spencer asks this time.

"Michael."

"Hi, Michael. This is Spencer, how are you?"

"I'm great. My question is for you, so this is awesome." The boy on the line says excitedly. Spencer giggles.

"What's your question Michael?"

"Will you marry me?" He asks excitedly. Spencer starts laughing.

"Well it looks like proposals are in the air today." Spencer pauses for another laugh. "Sure, why not. Think this is the best one I've ever gotten." Spencer adds with another laugh. Ashley looks over at Spencer smiling.

"What is your name and hoping you aren't proposing to either one of these ladies. It looks like they are already taken." The announcer says with a laugh.

"My name is Blake and I will not be proposing. I am getting married in a few days. I would like to know if Spencer would preform a song at my wedding."

"Oh wow. I didn't see that coming. Um… Let me see what I can do. Can someone take her back off the air and get her number for me please?" Spencer asks looking around and everyone. The guy behind the glass nods his head. "Okay Blake they are going to switch your call over and get your number. This isn't a for sure thing, but I will have my manager call you. Thank you for calling." Spencer finishes out.

"We are going to take one more caller. These ladies need to get out of here. What's your name and what is your question?"

"My name is…" The caller stops talking and Spencer instantly looks over at Ashley. Ashley gives Spencer a quizzical look before looking over at the announcer then back at Spencer. Ashley and Spencer cover their mics as Spencer leans over to Ashley. The brunette singer moves her headphone out of the way.

"That sounds like Carmen." Spencer whispers to her. Ashley eyes Spencer concerned.

"Susan. My question is for Spencer."

"Okay, what's the question." Spencer asks hesitantly. She knows that voice. Spencer meets Ashley's eyes and nods her head letting her know it is Carmen. Ashley takes her headphones off and walks over to the door. The guy on the other side opens it and Ashley tries to get them to end the call but he tells her no.

"I've heard you have a thing's for girls." The woman on the line says. Spencer freezes and Ashley runs back over to her seat and pulls her headphones back on.

"I'm sorry, what was the question?" Ashley asks interfering. The caller repeats herself. Ashley starts laughing.

"That doesn't sound like a question and you must be thinking about me. Silly girl. Have a good day. Thanks for calling." Ashley rushes out then signals for them to hang up. Spencer still sat in her chair frozen. "Spence?" Ashley questions after she pulls Spencer's headphones from her head. Spencer looks over at Ashley then sighs. "Come on. We have to get to sound check." Ashley adds pulling Spencer up from the chair and out of the room. After they are safely in the car Spencer turns to Ashley.

"I knew she was going to try something stupid. I fucking knew it and I just froze up. That isn't going to help anything." Spencer rants out. Ashley grabs Spencer's hand and squeezes it reassuringly.

"It'll be okay Spence. If something else comes out of it. We will handle it. For now. Let's just do our last show so we can go home." Ashley says sweetly then pulls the younger superstar into a hug. They stay embraced until they reach the arena. "Princess?" Ashley tried getting the blondes attention as they walk towards the stage.

"Yeah Ash?" Spencer says then stops walking and looks over at Ashley.

"Do you remember the Grammy's?" Ashley wonders. Spencer looks at her confused but shakes her head 'yes'.

(Flashback)

"Hey, Princess?" Ashley says walking up next to Spencer. They pose for a picture together as they make their way down the red carpet at the Grammy's. Spencer smiles over at Ashley.

"Hey, Rockstar." Spencer replies then turns back towards the cameras. This is the first time Spencer is up for so many awards at the Grammy's. Spencer was only nominated once before for one reward. That was when she was a new artist. Sadly, she lost. Spencer is up for five awards this year. She is nervous and excited all at once.

"You don't need to be nervous. You are ready for this. You are amazing no need to be so nervous." Ashley whispers out still posing for the cameras with a smile on her face.

"Thank you, Ash." Spencer whispers back before walking again.

"Ashley, Ashley." Giuliana Rancic yells out trying to get Ashley to come back to her. Ashley slowly walks over as Spencer went on to the next. "How are you doing tonight?" The interviewer adds.

"I'm doing great. How about yourself?" Ashley inquires back.

"Good, good. You are up for 5 awards tonight. You already have 9 Grammy's are you excited to add anymore?"

"The best Artist will win and whoever that maybe, they will deserve it." Ashley tells the older woman.

"This is the first year in the last four you are not performing. How are you feeling about that?"

"I feel great. There are amazing singers performing tonight. I am glad I'll be able to watch. Thank you." Ashley says before walking away, faster than before trying to catch up to Spencer.

"How are you doing tonight, Spencer?" Christina Garibaldi from U.S weekly asks. "And Ashley." The woman adds as Ashley walks up to them.

"Great." The singer says in unison.

"Yourself?" Spencer adds.

"Good. I hear you two will be doing a World Tour together, how did that come about?" The interviewer asks. Both singers smile at each other than Spencer nods her head telling Ashley she can reply.

"Well we aren't really sure. We actually got pulled into a meeting last week and that's when we were told about it." Ashley says.

"Sadly, the Rockstar here had no idea who I was." Spencer says with a giggle nudging Ashley.

"Is this true, Ashley?" Christina asks intrigued by the situation. Ashley smiles at the blonde singer next to her.

"Yes, but I quickly learned." Ashley laughs at her own reply.

"You are both up for the same five awards, how does that feel? Any competition there?"

"I think anybody up for any award wishes they will win but whoever does win, they won for a reason. I will not be upset about losing to anyone. I congratulate them for being great. Good luck to everyone tonight." Spencer says with a giant smile.

"I couldn't have said it any better." Ashley adds agreeing with Spencer.

"So, you said you ladies just met last week. You think you will get along for this long tour?" Christina asks.

"I think we will do just fine. We have been getting along great since we met." Ashley answers then looks over at Spencer.

"I think we will rock the socks off this tour." Spencer adds smiling widely.

"Spencer, you have skyrocketed into the spotlight with your latest song 'Come on get higher', it is topping every single chart right now. How does it feel?"

"It feels great. I've had some great success, but this tops it and it feels wonderful." Spencer ends with a smile.

"I wouldn't be surprised if she took all five awards from all of us." Ashley admits with a laugh at the end, cutting in so Spencer didn't have to fully answer the question.

"Thank you." Both Ashley and Spencer say together before moving on. After a few more interviews and pictures together, they make their way inside the staples center.

"Good luck, Princess. I will see you after?" Ashley asks with a grin.

"Yes, of course. Thank you for that by the way" Spencer replies smiling back then starts to walk away. Ashley watches Spencer walk away before Ashley went to find her seat.

(End of Flashback)

"My point in this memory is that you are amazing Spence. Everyone loves you. You took every single one of them awards but one. Whether you come out now or later, everyone will still love you. Yes, some people will hate because that's just who they are, but your fans won't care. Your family doesn't care. I don't care. You will still be loved by millions of people but always remember the most important people in your life will always be there and care, including me. I had known you a week when we were at the Grammy's, I had faith in you then. I have it in you now." Ashley declares to the blonde. Spencer pulls Ashley into a tight hug.

"Thank you, Ashley. You are the best." Spencer whispers into Ashley's neck.

"Come on, let's get this over with. I want sleep before tonight's show." Ashley says pulling the blonde to the stage.

Spencer grabbed the mic, signaling for the sound guy to turn the mic on.

"Hello, Nashville!" Spencer yells into the mic as excitement up-roars throughout the arena. "So, how's everyone enjoying their night? Did you love my show?"

"Yes" Spencer vaguely hears between screams.

"Okay, okay. Settle down. I got a secret to share with you before Ashley comes out." Spencer speaks getting the arena to go almost quiet. The blonde giggles bringing the mic back up to her mouth. "So, Ash and I have been pulling pranks on each other basically since the tour started. I keep telling her she started a war; she won't be able to finish but she doesn't listen very well." Spencer takes a pause because everyone gets excited once again. "So... Ashley right now is locked in her dressing room, which she is probably pissed right now." The blonde pulled the mic away, giggling once again.

"Spence hurry up. She's flipping out." Brad whispers from beside her.

"She's so going to kill me." Spencer adds while laughing. "Rockstar hates being trapped. It's one of her biggest fears. Turn the cameras on guys." Spencer turns to the left to one of the big screens as an image of Ashley appears.

"SPENCER! You are going to die for this! Let me the fuck out of here. I'm supposed to be on stage. This isn't funny!" Ashley screams. Her voice fills the arena, angrily. Everyone watches as Ashley bangs on the door to her dressing room repeatedly.

"Ash?" Spencer spoke. Spencer watches the brunette stops her tantrum and spin in circles looking for where Spencer's voice is coming from.

"Where are you at?" Ashley speaks still looking around the room. The view of the room switches displaying a bigger picture of the room. The 60-inch tv turns on in Ashley's dressing room. Spencer watches Ashley's face drop as a picture of Spencer on stage come onto the tv.

"So, Ash you're going to kill me huh?" Spencer giggles.

"This is far from funny, Princess. Let me the fuck out of here NOW. I need to be on the stage, you seem to be occupying." Ashley says stomping her foot like a small child.

"I don't think they really mind this." Spencer laughs out causing the arena to cheer once again. "See Rockstar they don't mind. I will let you out though on one condition."

"What?" Ashley sighs knowing she is going to give into anything the blonde says.

"Listen to me, okay?" Spencer stops talking waiting for a reply from the girl on the screen. Ashley nods. Spencer turns towards the audience. "So, over the past two months and 15 days, I have had the pleasure of getting to know this amazing, talented human being." Spencer says before dropping her hands to her sides. Spencer stands center stage sighing. Spencer quickly scans the crowd before turning to the screen, watching Ashley. The brunette is just standing in her dressing room watching the tv Spencer is displayed on. "Ashley, getting to know you has been one of the best times of my life. You are incredibly caring and sweet. I have never met anyone quite like you before. Thank you for making this tour amazing so far and becoming my best friend. There has not been a dull moment with you. Guys let her out." Everyone starts cheering once again. Spencer watches Ashley turn around as the dressing room door comes open. Someone off camera hands Ashley a mic as she walks out of the dressing room. The picture on the big screen changes once again. A camera is following Ashley from behind as she heads to the stage.

"You are so evil, Princess." Ashley speaks as she continues her walk. The arena has settled down once again as everyone is watching the Rockstar continue to the stage. Spencer turns away from the screen knowing Ashley would be walking out in about 10 seconds.

"I give you the best person I know... ASHLEY DAVIES!" Spencer yells the brunettes name. Spencer giggles as everyone goes completely crazy. Ashley walks out on-stage waving at everyone as she makes her way over to Spencer.

"Nashville! How you doing tonight? Enjoy Spencer's little show?" Ashley laughs as excitement breaks out.

"Glad you guys enjoyed that. I just wanted to give Ashley an intro, but I had to mess with her first." Spencer says smirking over at her crush. Ashley gives Spencer small smile in return.

"Well..." Ashley starts looking over at Spencer before looking over the arena once again. "I'm so glad you had to torture me before you gave me one of the best introductions I have ever had. My best friend is the sweetest, isn't she?" Ashley asks sarcastically. The Tennessee based crowd cheers once again.

"You know, I have to be sour before I can be sweet." The blonde lets out with a giggle.

"Alright, sour patch." Ashley replies laughing at the singer standing beside her, shaking her head.

"I will leave you to it. Have a good show. Enjoy the Rockstar. Have a goodnight Nashville!" Spencer yells into the microphone. She drops her hands to her sides. The blonde kisses Ashley's cheek then smiles at her before starting her walk off stage.

"She's a character, isn't she?" Ashley asks the crowd with a smile plastered on her face.

"Aaaaahhhhh!" Echo's throughout the building.

"Spence?" Ashley turns towards the retreating singer. Spencer stops to turn around and look at Ashley. "Shall we surprise them?" Ashley smiles at the blonde sweetly.

"I don't think they want a surprise." Spencer shot back grinning at the brunette.

"Booooo!" Both singers laugh as the boos continue.

"Sounds like they do, Princess."

"You want to tell them what it is or are we going to just do it?" The blonde asks waiting for Ashley to answer.

"Can we get Spencer's guitar out here, please?" Ashley asks into the mic. She walks over and grabs two stools after she sits her microphone down. Spencer walks over to Ashley to help her with the stools. They place the stools down center stage. Ashley grabs her guitar placing the strap over her shoulder. The brunette grabs two mic stands then walks over to Spencer. A younger looking guy comes running out on stage handing Spencer her guitar.

"Thank you." Spencer tells the young man handing her the guitar. Ashley grabs the mic that Spencer had picked up for her. Both singers place their mics into the stand in front of them before situating themselves on the stool better with their guitars in their laps. Both ladies start to tune their guitars.

"This is the first time we have ever performed this song for anyone but each other." Spencer starts.

"Spencer and I wrote this song together. We had a great time doing it." Ashley adds looking over at the blonde.

"In total, it took us two days to finish it… We started writing it on the tour bus on our way to Detroit. We finished it last night on the tour bus on the way here."

"We work well together. There will be more. I can feel it." Ashley giggles at her words. Spencer smiles at her. "Here we go with our first duet. Let us know what you think, okay?" The audience cheers. They watch as the audience starts to pull out phones to record them. Both singers nod their heads at each other before strumming their guitars.

"I'm gonna wear you down

I'm gonna make you see

I'm gonna get to you

You're gonna give in to me

I'm gonna start a fire

You're gonna feel the heat

I'm gonna burn for you

You're gonna melt for me" Ashley sang with a smile stuck on her face.

"Come on, come on

Into my arms

Come on, come on

Give in to me" Both singers sang together as they kept making eye contact, smiling at one another.

"You're gonna take my hand

Whisper the sweetest words

And if you're ever sad

I'll make you laugh

I'll chase the hurt" Spencer sang softly.

"My heart is set on you

I don't want no one else

And if you don't want me

I guess I'll be all by myself

Come on, come on

Into my arms

Come on, come on (come on)

Give in to me" They, once again, sang together.

"I'll use my eyes to draw you in

Until I'm under your skin

I'll use my lips, I'll use my arms

Come on, come on, come on

Give in to me" Spencer sang out staring at the woman beside her. When Spencer got caught, she smiled shyly then turned her attention back to the audience.

"Give in to me

Give in to me" The singers finish together, smiling. The crowd erupts into cheers as the song comes to an end.

"How was that?" Spencer asks as she stands up from her stool, giggling as the cheers get even louder. Both singers smile sweetly at each other before taking each other's hands and bowing.

"I think they liked it." Ashley smiles out over the audience.

"Have a good show." Spencer whispers into Ashley's ear then kisses her cheek again.

"Let's hear it for Spencer." Ashley says watching the blonde walk away. Spencer waves at everyone before disappearing behind the tall curtain and the crowd continues to cheer for her. Ashley began her set after letting the audience calm down. The Rockstar couldn't wipe the smile off her face during her whole performance. Even during her more emotional songs, the smile stayed.
