Thanks again for all the great reviews. Oh and thanks to the people who say they like both POV's, I find it fun. My sister is a fan and reads my fic and she says it annoying sometimes but I like it, and well if it is just let me know. I enjoy writing this story. I've been working a lot lately so I haven't been able to get my chapters up as fast as I wanted to, but I am getting them done when I can. Hope you like it…
Spencer's POV
Umm no…no…no ugh damn it I can't find a shirt. Screw it this one will do. What time is it? 6:15…Ahhh I have to meet Ashley at seven…seven she, said seven right? How am I getting there I can't drive. Glen…I run to the living room where he is playing a video game.
"Hey Glen, how are you?" I say as sweetly as I could.
"What do you want?" He said still half distracted by the game.
"Do you know where Grey is, or what it is?" I ask hoping he has a clue.
"Oh yea that place is cool. I went there a few days ago with some friends." He replied. Yes he knows what I'm talking about. He started moving around franticly with the controller, he is playing some kind of shooting game.
"Ugh I died. Thanks a lot." He said as he narrowed his eyes at me.
"I didn't do anything." I defended
"You distracted me." He stated.
"Sorry. But don't start a new game because I need you to do me a favor." I asked. I hope he feels like being a good brother today.
"And what might that be?" He turned in the couch to face me.
"Will you give me a ride to Grey…please?" He never does anything for me. Can he just this once.
"And mom's letting you out on a school night…not to mention on a Monday." He said with a smirk.
"No Mom's getting home late tonight and Dad said it was fine. You go out almost every night; it wouldn't be fair if I couldn't. So can you be nice for once and give me a ride." I said with the best puppy face I've got.
"Fine…but you owe me." He said getting up from the couch grabbing his keys.
"Thank you…Thank you…Thank you." I said giddily giving him a hug.
"Alright…alright…are we going or not?" He said giving me a half hug. We then left the house and drove off.
We arrived at Grey about fifteen minuets later. The place did look cool, there was a neon sign that said Grey above a door to a building that looks like it use to be a factory or some old warehouse. I say my thank you to Glen and I watch him drive off. And what's new, I'm alone again. I'm so nervous holy crap…I'm not even sure what I'm suppose to do. Do I stay and wait for her outside…should I go inside. We'll it's already seven maybe she's already here. I'll go inside, oh and great there is a line. So now I'm face to face with a huge guy wearing a black shirt with his hair slicked back.
"Can I see some photo ID please?" He demands
"Um sure…" I say handing him my ID. Crap he isn't going to let me in. Shit I should have gotten her number.
"Ok you know your not allowed to touch any alcoholic drinks right." He said
"Ye…yes sir…" I stutter. Is he going to let me in?
"Great, go ahead in. Enjoy your night." He said smiling handing my ID back. Wow I can't believe I just got into a place like this, well then again Glen did. I giggle to my self.
There she is. She looks amazing. She is sitting at the bar talking to the pretty blonde bartender. I feel a slight knot in my throat. Eww now they are laughing together. I need a drink…but Ashley is over there talking to…Her. I'm totally over reacting. Just go over and say hi. Ashley is meeting me here right. I'm right behind Ashley now and I tap her on the shoulder. She quickly turned on the stool.
"Hey you made it." She said happily giving me a kiss on the cheek. Dude she just kissed me. No she was just being friendly and saying hi. Stop over reacting and say something she going to think you're weird; which I guess I already am cause now I'm talking to myself.
"Hey yea. This place is awesome." I finally say.
"Yea Kat did good." She said smiling over at the bartender. "Kat this is Spencer…Spencer, Kat. She owns this place." She added as we shook hands.
"Hi it's nice to meet you. This place is really nice, I wish you the best with it." I say politely.
"Thanks it's nice to meet you too. I've heard a lot about you." She said with a kind smile
"Really?" I said amazed. Ashley talked about me?
"Yea Ashley…" she paused once she noticed Ashley was giving her an 'I'm going to kick your ass' look. "Will take over from here, I have customers. Excuse me." She quickly left and I giggled.
"So how are you?" Ashley asked.
"I'm great. How are you?" I'm nervous as shit. I hope she doesn't notice.
"Nervous." She says letting out a deep breath. What she's nervous too?
"Really why?" I ask
"Well tonight is open mic night. I do it all the time, but this is the first time I've asked someone to come and watch me." She says shyly.
"No way, you sing?" This is so cool.
"Yea and I play guitar and drums and I'm trying to learn how to play bass." She says
"That's awesome. I wish I could play an instrument. I'm an okay singer but let's not go there." We laugh.
"Yea music is my life. I couldn't really avoid it; you know because of my dad." She simply says.
"Who's your dad?" I ask
"Raife Davies" she says nonchalantly
"Oh really, no way…the rock star?" This girl just keeps getting more interesting
"Yup…yup." She says sadly
"It must be so cool to have a rock star as a dad." I say happily
"Not really. He is never really around. I hardly see him. He is supposed to come see me play tonight but I doubt that he'll show." She says in a little vice.
"Wow I'm sorry. That sucks." Great now I feel like an ass. "So I can't believe no one has ever seen you play before." I quickly change the subject.
"We'll usually it's the same crowd, but I've never had anyone that I wanted to watch me come." She said with a smile.
"I feel special." I reply with a goofy smile.
"You should. You should know not just anyone gets to see the wonderful Ashley Davies perform." We laugh as Kat walks over.
"Well the wonderful Ashley Davies should get ready because she's going on in twenty." Kat suggested.
"Already?" Ashley wined.
"Yea you should go warm up. What are you singing tonight?" Kat asked
"You'll see. It's something a little different," She winked at Kat as she stood up from her seat. "Hey Spence would you be okay just hanging out here for a while? Just until I finish?" She asked.
"Sure. Gook luck." I said with a warm smile.
"Thanks. Oh and Kat's cool to talk to if you get bored." She adds before she walks off.
I can't wait for her to go on. I'm glad I came. This place is so cool and Ashley is fun to talk to.
"Hey you're the last person I thought I would find here." A voice from behind me surprised me. I turn to find Aiden.
"Hey" I smile
"So what are you doing here all by yourself?" He asked
"Oh I'm here with Ashley." I replied
"Oh" he said looking disappointed.
"So are you here with Madison." I asked
"No thank God." He says thankfully
"Isn't she your girlfriends?" I said giggling
"She's supposed to be. She ditched me tonight; I think to be with your brother. So I'm here trying to find my own person to have fun with. Any suggestions on who that could be?" He said with a smile. I think he wants it to be me. Umm no thanks.
"No" I simply say
"Bummer. Well will you at least have a drink with me?" He pleaded. I do kind want a drink. Okay maybe just one.
"Alright fine." I said unenthusiastically
"Sweet. I'll be right back." He left then returned with two vodka cranberry.
"Wow thanks, how did you pull this off?" I asked amazed. I was expecting coke not vodka. I night keeps getting better and better.
"I have a fake ID" He said whispering in my ear.
"Oh cool" I said un amused. Yea he is defiantly trying to get with me. Hmm I wonder when Ashley goes on…I hope it's soon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ashley's POV
"So you've talk to this girl only three or four times and you have already asked her to come and watch you perform?" Kat questions
"Yea why not" I shrug it off like it's nothing. I don't let just anyone watch me play. I don't know why I just want Spencer to be here.
"Dude you're so whipped." Kat said as she giggled.
"I am not. She's hot, what other reason do I need." I lie as I laugh. Okay I am totally whipped. There is just something about her. She hardly even knew me and I was such a bitch to her and she still defended me. She was the only one who cared and followed after me, even when we fought. My ex's never even did that. We would fight and I would run then I was alone, but not with her, she won't let me get lost. I'm ripped from my thoughts by a tap on my shoulder.
"Hey you made it." I'm so glad she's here. She looks amazing. I introduce her to Kat…who I wanted to kill. Kat is like the sister I never had. I always go to her for advice on things. She's one of the only friends I still have and I feel comfortable enough to open up and talk to. Now I guess Spencer is to. I can't believe I told her about my dad and that I hate not being able to see him. Yea I'm totally whipped. I can talk to her forever, but of course Kat has to ruin it.
"Yea you should go warm up. What are you singing tonight?" Kat asked
"You'll see. It's something a little different," I winked at Kat and I stand up from my seat. "Hey Spence would you be okay just hanging out here for a while? Just until I finish?" I ask.
"Sure. Gook luck." She says a warm smile. She is so cute.
"Thanks. Oh and Kat's cool to talk to if you get bored." I add then I'm off to the back room.
"Now I would like to hand over the mic to a good friend of mine. This chick has rock in her blood. Please welcome to the stage…Ashley Davies." I here my announcement and after my name is called I hear loud applause and whistles.
Wow twenty minuets go by really fast when your nervous. Breathe Ash just breathe. Damn it I don't think my dad is here yet…he probably won't show. At least Spencer is here. I grab my guitar and pic and I make my way to the stage. I take the deepest breath I could possibly take. Just clear your mind…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spencer's POV
As I was waiting for Ashley and talking to Aiden…I think I got a little carried away with the drinks. This is either my third or fourth cranberry vodka, I don't remember. I do remember not eating dinner because I was to nervous. Aiden is an okay guy, he hasn't tried anything yet. I feel bad because I wasn't being very talkative but he seemed to enjoy doing all the talking. I don't even remember what was even said. The music that was playing cuts off and everyone looks towards the girl on the stage.
"Now I would like to hand over the mic to a good friend of mine. This chick has rock in her blood. Please welcome to the stage…Ashley Davies." Once she finishes the building is filled with applause and whistles.
Finally the moment I've been waiting for all night. I see Ashley walk out to the stool and microphone in the middle of the stage. She looks so beautiful.
"Hey thank you," She waits until the crowd calms down before she continues. She looks so cool up there. "So tonight I'm going to do something a little different. I know I usually sing one of my dad's songs or one that I've written but I haven't written any new ones and well most of you have heard my dad's songs to many times…so I'm going to sing you one of my favorite songs. It's a little different in style then what I usually sing but I love it and well lately it's had a lot of meaning for me." We made eye contact for a moment. It lasted only seconds, but I still feel it. "Alright so this is South of Nowhere by the Po'Girl…" She began to play and sing. She sang so beautiful I just had to close my eyes. All I could see was her and I think I even imagined her kissing my neck. I could feel her and it is so warm.
When the radio came on,
we were somewhere south of Kansas
staring at the dawn.
When we heard that old sweet song
we both knew the words so we just
sang along.
And we were doing fine
underneath the open sky,
we were doing fine.
I was yours and you were mine.
When the radio came on,
we were somewhere south of nowhere
I had nothing you had nothing.
The world could have come and gone,
but our kisses lingered on dusk to dawn,
it was really something.
And there's nothing really wrong
with doing really nothing
all day long.
And we were doing fine
underneath the open sky,
we were doing fine.
I was yours and you were mine.
That song was so beautiful. I don't think I have ever listened to a song like that before. I still didn't open my eyes because now her lips were on mine. This was just so amazing but I had to open my eye as much as I wanted to fight it, I have to go back to reality. I open my eye…WTF Aiden? Holly crap I'm kissing Aiden…No. I slightly push him away.
"Aiden?" I what the hell is going on. Wow I can't even see straight. I shake my head to try to gain some control over my motor movements but I fail.
"Come on lets get out of here." He says and before I could resist he put my arm over his shoulders and walked me out of the club. I quickly looked back to try and see Ashley but everyone was standing I couldn't see. Where am I, is this Aiden's car? It's so hazy in here…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ashley's POV
That went awesome I don't think I could of sang it any better. Well considering I almost lost it when I looked into Spencer's eyes. Where is Spencer? I quickly scan the crowd that was now standing still applauding me. I spot someone familiar towards the door. Is that…no…Aiden? Spencer? I can't believe it. I feel tears start to form in my eyes and I quickly run off the stage to the back before anyone could notice, but of course Kat noticed and she met me in the back.
"Ashley what's wrong?" She ask worried
"She left…with Aiden" I said between tears. Damn it I thought she was different, but no she's like every one else and just leaves me.
"Ashley to tell you honestly I don't think she was completely sober." She said
"What…Spencer wasn't drinking." I stated
"Yea sorry I noticed it to late but who ever that guy is she was with got her a couple of drinks." She added with a frown.
"He got her drunk. That Bastard." I quickly left the room and went outside to the parking lot.
"Shit his car's gone. I don't have her number. Damn it" I'm furious so I go sit on the curb. A limo pulls up in front of me. Oh great this night just keeps getting better.
Wow I hope it was long enough for you lol. Oh and the song South of Nowhere by the Po' Girl is one of my favorite songs. The Po' Girl's are pretty good. They are a bit different from the music I usually listen to but I like them. Again please Review and I will keep the updates coming quickly and long. Sorry about the long wait tho, but either my computer was being stupid or it was the website.
