season one, episode eight
( looks like we made it )




WARREN: Night one was in Albuquerque.

ROD: See, you-you don't start in New York or L.A. where the crowd is nothing but critics and suits. You want to start small, off-market, where you can get your sea legs under you, work out the kinks.

A sound check was set on the stage, Daisy had been singing an acapella to 'Kill You to Try' Billy had been ordering Daisy to not move around the stage so much.

Audrey had been chewing on a few pieces of candy and she sat on Warren's left side of the platform with Graham.

She had begun to share with Graham as they both strummed their instruments; he had looked at her as she chewed on more candy.

"What Graham." Audrey began, she had seen him looking at her from the corner of her eye as she chewed more on her candy. "Have you talked to Eddie at all?"

Audrey nodded, "On the bus, yeah." She looked at him as he shook his head, "No, I mean ever since we came here." He pointed a finger to the ground signaling to Audrey meaning Albuquerque.

She sighed as she shook her head, "No, only when he gave me my bag..." She narrowed her eyes before she placed her guitar down on the floor.

"Why are you asking me this?" She asked turning her body to him, "He's just worried about you," Graham replied, Audrey tilted her head.

"Well, I'm totally fine," She scratched the side of her neck. Graham nodded before he took more candy from her.

AUDREY: Expect I wasn't fine.

GRAHAM: I knew she wasn't fine. Sure, Eddie was wondering if his girlfriend since '73 was okay. She was my best friend, I could tell she wasn't.

KAREN: If I'm being honest, we were pretty sure Albuquerque would be a disaster. But it was fantastic.

The band was playing their final song, 'The River.' Billy and Daisy had been crushing on the main vocals, the crowd cheering for them.

Audrey had been matching perfectly with Graham and Warren as Warren sent a wink to her as a support between her and Eddie.

Karen and Eddie had been in sync with their instruments and backing vocals.

Daisy had picked up the microphone rushing her way over to Audrey.

Audrey went wide-eyed as Daisy held the microphone to both of their mouths as Daisy nodded to her as the two both sang with Billy.

The song soon came to a close, Audrey resting her head on Daiy's shoulder as Daisy breathed heavily.

Billy shouted into the microphone thanking the crowd as Daisy yells into her microphone, lifting Audrey's arm with her pick in her hand.

"Audrey Belmore everyone!" The crowd cheered for Audrey as she grinned and hugged Daisy after she placed her guitar on the stand before rushing off the stage with Daisy.

DAISY: She needed a moment. [smiles]

AUDREY: I knew what I wanted after that, I just took some time to think about it.

Another city meant another show for the band.

Before Audrey had gotten off the bus, she felt whiskey shoot down her throat as she got off the bus with Katherine off the 'I LOVE BILLY' bus.

Katherine and Audrey walked side by side as Warren lit a cigarette behind them, Audrey smiled at a few fans as she stepped off the bus, and one guy caught her eye.

He was wearing a shirt that said, 'I HEART BELMORE!' Audrey smiled at it as she stepped up to a fan holding their album as she signed it.

"Marry me, Audrey!" The man who was wearing the shirt yelled out as Audrey chuckled as she turned to walk to the other side.

As she did, she noticed Eddie get pulled into a kiss by a girl tugging at his brown leather jacket pulling him closer.

She lets out a shaky exhale as Katherine walked over to Warren and took the marker out of his hand as he just finished signing a girl's breast.

She jerked her head to Eddie as he noticed Audrey standing there in shock. Eddie tried to pull away from her, but the girl held onto his jacket harder.

Katherine soon rushed over to Audrey as she walked away, "Eddie, come on, Audrey's waiting for you!" Warren chuckled as he finally managed to pull Eddie and the girl away.

Warren shoots Eddie a look to him shaking his head as he did so, Eddie purses his lips as he shrugged.

"He's an idiot," Katherine muttered to Audrey who only nodded as the two girls catch up to Karen and Graham.

-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ-

The band was now playing 'Kill You to Try.' They were mid-way through the track listing. Graham's solo finally hit.

He walked closer to Audrey and he pressed his shoulder to both of them rocking out.

Daisy dances around the stage her arms in the air as her cardigan goes loose and making it seem like wings.

The band clapped to the beat and cheered for them.

Once, they finished their set, they all head to the 'I LOVE DAISY' bus, with Warren asking a bunch of questions about Nicky's royal life.

Karen walked up to Audrey as she was sitting alone near the front of the bus away from the party.

"You alright?" Karen asked sitting down next to her, Audrey nodded as Karen clicked her tongue.

"Eddie's worried about—" Karen was cut off by Audrey "Me. Yes, I know... why does everyone keep asking me about that?" She asked tilting her head.

"Cause, he loves you," Karen muttered out, her British accent echoing into Audrey's ears.

Audrey pursed her lips, closing her eyes before she looked to Karen.

"If he did love me," Audrey spoke, exhaling. "he wouldn't have cheated on me." She finished.

Karen gasped, "He cheated on you?"

Audrey nodded going wide eye, raising her brows. "Was it not obvious when he avoided me the whole session of 'Regret Me'?" Audrey asked, Karen who soon gotten what she meant.

"No wonder that's your favorite song of the album," Karen muttered which made Audrey laugh.

Karen soon brought Audrey into a hug as Audrey wrapped her arms around Karen before she stood up.

Extending her hand, she motioned it for Audrey to grab, "Let's get back to hearing Warren talk about Nicky and his royal life." Karen spoke, speaking 'Royal Life' in an American accent mocking Warren.

Audrey laughed as she took Karen's arm them walking next to Eddie.

"Just sit next to him. You don't have to talk to him," Karen whispered into Audrey's ear as she sighed but soon nodded.

"So your face is like on money and shit?" Warren asked, his beer almost slipping out of his hand.

"No, no," Nicky replied, chuckling. "So you're not really a prince?" Eddie asked squinting his eyes and placing an arm around Audrey.

She licked her lips as she sighed before moving his arm back to his thigh.

Eddie furrowed his brows, looking to Audrey before Nicky replied, "It's complicated."

"Well, you have land? Power?" Graham asked puffing his cigarette in his mouth, "Do you have a job?" Warren asked as Nicky clicked his tongue.

He brought up his shoulders, "I'm a student of life." The Irishman replied.

Eddie and the others mocked him as Audrey tilted her head to him, "So Mommy basically buys everything for you?" Audrey asked as Karen handed her a beer as she narrowed her eyes.

Warren chuckled as he muttered something to Audrey, "What?" She asked as Warren shrugged, "I just said your dad buys everything for you."

He was drunk, she knew it. He wouldn't say that if he wasn't. Warren was thankful for Audrey's money, I mean it's what got him a house to live in for another few months.

Audrey snorted, "Please, I am a grown woman and I don't need no man's money!" Audrey laughed with Warren as they were both drunk. She had gotten drunk right after they finished their performance and got on the bus.

Laughter came from the rest of the band as Daisy dragged Nicky away to the back of the bus kissing him as they did. "Do you have a degree?" Warren shouted out.

Rod had soon came to sit with the band as Warren moved seats across and he dragged Katherine with him to sit on his lap.

He lit a cigarette as Rod explained something, Audrey was too busy smoking weed to hear what Rod had been saying.

Eddie had been trying to cover up his hurt from Audrey not talking to him half of the tour, she would make an excuse about having to go see Karen or she's going shopping with Katherine or she's just going for a walk.

-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ-

Eddie was finally doing his solo with Daisy. Audrey watched from backstage her eyes never leaving his body.

Rod had noticed Audrey's hand on her chest, the way it would breathe heavily when Eddie was around.

But this time, it wasn't. It was slow and steady. She would sigh every time he tried to talk to her, Audrey still loved Eddie but the way he cheated on her with Camila, she just couldn't understand why.

She licked her lips as the song soon ended, as Eddie noticed her as he placed his guitar on the stand before walking over there to hug her.

She shook her head as his arms were around her waist. "No," She whispered to him before she removed his hands from her waist and stormed off with Daisy.

"You can't keep doing this to yourself, babe," Daisy spoke as Audrey walked along her.

Daisy soon grabbed her arm pulling her away to a wall. "You have to end things with Eddie. You can't keep hurting yourself more."

Audrey looked down to the floor before nodding, "I'll think about it,"

Daisy scoffed and shook her head, "You're not going to think about it. You're going to do it."
