A/N: So, I figured I'd give you a couple chapters because I didn't update the last chapter when I had intended to. I was going to post it Monday night, but on my way home my best friend and I got into a huge car accident a block away from our house. Needless to say we spent the next six hours dealing with the idiot that t-boned us on my side of the car and who was driving without a license, and getting checked out at the emergency room. I would have written more to this chapter except that I'm on pain killers from the accident, so if there is spelling errors or something doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll go back and fix it.

So maybe Ashley could have waited for Saturday because it was currently Saturday at 8:30 PM and she was sitting by herself at Tipped feeling like she was going to lose her dinner that she had eaten before arriving.

The week had gone by fast, what with practicing, writing, and helping out Kyla with the baby. Now as the day was slowly coming to an end for most, it was just beginning for her.

She had talked to Spencer once since she had invited her to Tipped, she was on her way into Kyla's house as Spencer was on her way out and they had briefly discussed the plans to meet at Tipped again and then said their pleasant goodbyes.

To say that it was awkward would be an understatement, sure she was comfortable around Spencer, she always had been. However, Felisha was with Spencer that day and had made Ashley unbearably squirmy on the front porch of Kyla's L.A. home.

She had spent the rest of the week panicking and attempting to talk herself into actually performing on Saturday night. Seeing Spencer and Felisha had psyched her out more than a little. She was under the impression that the two were having problems, hence her strategy to move in on Spencer and show her how she had changed, but when she saw them at Kyla's they had seemed to be better off than she had ever seen them. Granted, she had only seen the couple together a handful of times, but this time there was no animosity in the area and it saddened Ashley slightly.

She had never been one to linger on things she couldn't change, but this was Spencer, and she wasn't about to give up her one chance she had to make things right, to make Spencer see who she truly belonged to.

So there she sat in the back room at Tipped pacing back and forth trying to calm herself down. The fact that the room was a little more than slightly dirty had bothered Ashley, when she was nervous she became an OCD cleaner, it was a little secret she had managed to keep to herself all of these years. If there was something to clean with in the room she was sure it would have been spotless by the time she went on stage.

She wouldn't know if Spencer showed up until she stepped on the stage at 9, so she hoped that Spencer wouldn't get restless and just leave waiting for those fifteen minutes.

She had everything that she needed: her guitar, the piano was on stage, and her lyrics in her bag. She had them all memorized, but always took her notebook with her everywhere; you never know when somebody is going to want to join in on the song.

She hadn't realized how fast the minutes had gone by, the next thing she knew she was drawn out of her thought process by the sound of somebody introducing her.

She tentatively walked out on stage and looked around before sitting down at the stool in front of the microphone. She hadn't realized just how many people there was in the club earlier when she had arrived, she was sure it was the same amount and that her perspective had just changed when she was finally the one on stage and not in the audience.

She scanned the room for Spencer, but couldn't find her, so she decided to introduce herself and talk to the crowd before starting her set.

'Hey everyone, I'm Ashley Davies.' She said as she waved to the crowd. 'I currently reside in L.A. and I figured that I'd give this music thing a try. So, I'm gonna sing a couple of covers and then a couple of my own songs. Be nice, it's been a while since I've played.' Ashley laughed slightly as she started playing the intro to her first song.

'Oh, and this song is called Autograph by the band Sick of Sarah. I thought we'd start off the night with a fun song.' She smiled as she started to sing.

You had a heart of gold

You had a heart of stone

I had a heart attack

I pulled you in,

You pushed me back.

You're not so innocent

You're just a hypocrite

Now turn me on and let me loose

And blow me off

What's your excuse?

And I'm not messing around I want your autograph

I wanna touch you, yeah

And I'm not messing around

Messing around

Just as she had finished the chorus she saw Spencer walk in and take a table in the center. Spencer just stared at Ashley with a big questioning smile on her face, which made Ashley smile as she started the next line. As she began singing them she locked eyes with Spencer, giving her a flirty look.

Your bones are pliable

So undeniable

Cannot commit to words

Cause words are indescribable

And if I had my way,

I'd eat you everyday

Now come a little closer

Listen to the words I've got to say

And I'm not messing around I want your autograph

I wanna touch you, yeah

And I'm not messing around

Messing around

I want your autograph

And you'll just screw with my soul

Your words they twist and pull

I need to learn to swallow them whole

I'll swallow them whole

I want your autograph

Autograph

Can't quite sleep in the middle of the night

You're touching yourself

Oooh woooaaaohhh ooh

And if you could see everything that I see

Ooohh woooahh ohh

And I can't quite take this

I can't quite break this

Oooh wooah ohhh

And you can't quite take this

You can't quite break this

Oooooh oooh woooahhh

And I'm not messing around,

I want your autograph

I wanna touch and fuck you

Well yeah yeah yeah

Not messing around

I want your autograph

Well you'll just screw with my soul

Your words, they twist and pull

I need to learn to swallow you whole

I'll swallow you whole

I want your autograph

Spencer smiled widely and blushed a little upon hearing the words to the song. To say she had been surprised to see Ashley on stage would have been the understatement of the year. She had never seen Ashley sing when they had dated, okay in the car, but that doesn't count, and she had especially never seen Ashley sing in front of a large group of people.

She had thought that Ashley had just wanted to meet and hang out tonight, which is why she had been running slightly late from the office.

Ashley had a way of captivating the crowd with her beautiful voice. Spencer had always wondered why Ashley had never gone to open mic nights when they were younger; she knew that Ashley was musical, that much was obvious from the drum set, piano, and guitars in her room.

She had once asked Ashley why she didn't perform, but Ashley had shrugged her off and changed the subject quickly.

Ashley had played a couple more songs before she had announced to the crowd that she would be taking a five minute break.

Ashley walked over to Spencer with a wide smile on her face as Spencer stood up meeting her for a hug before the two sat down.

'So, what'd you think?' Ashley asked shyly. She had never done this before, and considering that the only reason she was doing this was for Spencer, she figured that she should know what Spencer thought.

'You were amazing! Why didn't you tell me that you were singing tonight? I would have gotten here earlier and made sure that I didn't miss any of it!' Spencer said.

'I wanted it to be a surprise. I don't do this often, well ever, and I wanted to share it with you tonight.' Ashley said quietly as she looked up from her hands to Spencer's face to gauge her reaction.

'Well thank you for that, it means a lot. Why didn't you invite Kyla and Glen? I'm sure that my parents would have watched Remy for them.' Spencer asked curiously.

'Well, I wanted to share it with you. I'm not sure I'm ready for the whole family to see me up here, I'm self conscious about my music as it is.' Ashley explained.

'I don't know why, you sound perfect to me.' Spencer smiled at Ashley.

'You have to say that, it's an obligation as my friend.' Ashley laughed.

'I don't have to say anything I don't want to. I mean it Ash, you're amazing.' Spencer looked into Ashley's eyes.

Ashley blushed and ducked her head, 'Yeah, well me and my amazing voice better get on stage before people start getting angry.'

'I'll be watching.' Spencer smiled.

'Alright people, I'm back with a couple more songs, so you only have to put up with me for a little while longer.' Ashley made the audience laugh.

Ashley sang three more songs before announcing her last song. As she took a seat at the piano that was facing the crowd she began to speak.

'Okay, so this is my last song. I thought I'd leave off with an original song. I wrote this a while back, it was my first stab at writing a song that went along with the piano. I wrote it for somebody who, to this day, is the most important person in my life.' Ashley said as she looked at Spencer.

The piano began and the lights dimmed slightly, putting a soft spotlight on Ashley as she began to sing.

Help I have done it again

I have been here many times before

Hurt myself again today

And the worst part is there's no one else to blame

Be my friend, hold me

Wrap me up, unfold me

I am small and needy

Warm me up and breathe me

Ashley had written this song just after Spencer had given her the ring back, she had known all along that she was pushing Spencer too much, that what she was asking was too much at such a young age, but her stubborn ways wouldn't let her apologize to Spencer and get her back.

She had written this song in hopes of giving it to Spencer, a song that would say everything she was feeling, she never gave it to Spencer. Not until tonight.

Ashley had begun to get into the song closing her eyes as she started to sing the next verse, her emotions starting to get the better of her.

Ouch I have lost myself again

Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found

Yeah I think that I might break

Lost myself again and I feel unsafe

Be my friend, hold me

Wrap me up, unfold me

I am small and needy

Warm me up and breathe me

At the last repetition of the chorus Ashley had opened her eyes in search of Spencer; she had wanted Spencer to know, to feel, every emotion going through her as she sang.

When she found Spencer her heart had nearly crushed at the sight. Sitting right next to Spencer with her arm around her shoulder was none other than Felisha.

Be my friend, hold me

Wrap me up, unfold me

I am small and needy

Warm me up and breathe me

Ashley finished the last of the song on the piano before saying goodnight and rushing off stage.

It had been decided, Ashley could have definitely waited for Saturday.

The first song that Ashley sings is 'Autograph' by Sick of Sarah, in case you didn't catch that. And the song that Ashley sings at the end is 'Breathe Me' by Sia, if you haven't heard those songs you should definitely check them out. And I tried my best with the lyrics, so if there are errors, I'm sorry.

Reviews??? They would make me feel better.
