Standing at the side of the stage, I held Jade's hand grinning as we watched Ice Nine Kills for the second night in a row.

They were nearing the end of their set when Nadia came over to us.

"Ready?"

Jade hesitantly nodded.

Nadia handed her a microphone and pushed Jade onto the stage.

I pulled my phone out quickly and started filming.

"Our last song, Love Bites, will be joined by someone we met last night and she has a killer voice. Please welcome Jade West!"

The crowd cheered as Jade made herself visible to everyone and the band started as Spencer started singing.

"I'm tearing London limb from limb
It's tearing me apart, but it's us or them
So howl at the moon, oh how can it be
The softer the skin, the sharper the teeth
Yeah!

So call the nurse, 'cause it's worse when I'm alone
I've fallen prey to a curse I can't disown
Is it all in my head?
Blood on the hands of a man so filled with doubt
But this is love I just can't live without
(Despite the toll of the dead)

So howl at the moon, oh how can it be
The softer the skin the sharper the teeth
With nowhere to go, nothing to believe
I'm counting on beauty to kill off the beast."

My heart stopped as Jade started to sing.
God she was good. Jade's voice always blows me away.

"You bit off more than you could chew
But you taste too good to be true
Safe in my arms you will lay, cause every dog has its day."

Spencer joined in, singing along with Jade as the crowd roared and cheered.

"So howl at the moon, oh how can it be,
The softer the skin the sharper the teeth.
With nowhere to go, nothing to believe,
I'm counting on beauty to kill off the beast.
So howl at the moon, oh how can it be, (Oh how can it be)
The softer the skin the sharper the teeth.
With nowhere to go, nothing to believe, (nothing to believe)
I'm counting on beauty to kill off the beast.
Now it's time to put me down."

Spencer put his hand in Jade's raising it and taking a theatrical bow with her before he spoke into the microphone.

"Thank you Northridge, you've been amazing!"

He let Jade's hand go and she made her way off stage, wrapping her arms around me as I put my phone away.

"Happy birthday, Jade," I said, smiling.

"I love you, thank you so much. This wouldn't have been possible without you."

Grinning, I hugged her tighter and kissed her head.

We hung out with the band again that night, listening to them tell stories about before they were famous.

As a thank you for letting them stay at my place, the band signed a guitar and handed it to me.

"Seriously?"
