We've been together for a year now. We have gone on tours and everything together I've gotten to know the band so much more and I love everything about them they're so much fun.
We are at a hotel and I'm getting dressed to go to the band's concert.

I start singing out of nowhere thinking no one would hear me

"You and me always forever
We could stay alone together
You and me always forever
Say you'll stay never be separate
You know you've got me in your pocket
You know just have to wait around
You know I'll keep you in my locket
Just come here and we can settle down-"

And then I hear Tom and bill barge in "Holy shit Olivia you sing amazing!" Tom says and bill nods " seriously you sing amazing!" Bill adds You smile "aww thank you!" I say " you need to sing in our next concert!" I shake my head "oh no no no I can't. And I don't feel comfortable joking a band" I say feeling nervous "how about you just come for like one song! Please! For the band!?"

Bill says "Cmon babe! For me!?" Tom says and I smile "okay... but only for Tommy. But I don't have anything to sing too" I say. Bill and Tom look at each other bill goes to get some tans comes right back and hands me a notebook with lyrics. "Go to page 142!" He says and I go to the page.

I analyze and examine the lyrics carefully. "Okay! I could learn that! But I'll have to sit this concert out then" I say and they nod. And run off to go to their concert. I stay at the apartment finding notes and pitches for the song. And wether it's going to be a slow or fast song.

12am and they come back home. Tom's a little tipsy. Georg is the oldest in the group so he gets alcohol for the band. He then comes in "your still up?" He says I nod "yeah I'm working on the song." I say " oh cmon you've got a week to learn that." I widen my eyes " A week!?" I sigh."Damn... okay" I say and I head to bed and cuddle Tom to sleep.

A week later

It's that day of the concert and the band is going on stage soon. and I get really nervous. "I'm so nervous.." I say looking at Tom. He hugs me "everything will be okay you'll do great. I'll be there too so you'll have nothing to worry about." Tom says and I nod. I'm wearing a silk shirt black dress. It matches with everyone's outfit. They play the whole album and then bill grabs the mic.

"For our next song we have someone that will being singing one of our songs tonight!! She's a friend of ours! Please welcome Olivia!" They all clap as I walk on stage and I wave at them "Hello everyone I hope your having a good time tonight!" I smile and the song begins a few seconds after.

And I start singing.
"They say I'm too young to love you
I don't know what I need
They think I don't understand
The freedom land of the seventies
I think I'm too cool to know ya
You say I'm like the ice, I freeze
I'm churnin' out novels like
Beat poetry on Amphetamines
I say
I say
Well, my boyfriend's in a band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I've got feathers in my hair
I get down to Beat poetry
And my jazz collection's rare
I can play most anything
I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby"

I finish the song and they all clap and scream my name. I feel happy and I turn to Tom and he smiles at me and gives me a wink. I smile back at him and the band tells me how good I am. "Olivia your were amazing!!" Bill says and they agree . " yeah babe you were awesome" Tom say and he hugs me. I smile feeling so accomplished.

We go back to the hotel and i change into pj shorts and one of Tom's shirt. Which is fucking huge on me. Tom and me get in bed and cuddle. I soon fall asleep.
