season one, episode two
( i'll take you there )

Graham and Billy had come home to the house with exciting news. Eddie and Audrey were alone in his bedroom watching television.

"I don't get the deal with Romeo and Juliet," Eddie muttered as he shoved popcorn into his mouth. Audrey took popcorn from the bowl.

"They are two families that hate each other but their love can't keep them apart, Eddie," Audrey explained as popcorn was in her mouth.

Eddie shook his head. "But... but what happens in the end...?" Eddie asked shifting in his seat. Audrey told him she couldn't explain or else it would spoil the whole movie.

Warren came barging in telling them about the band and showing Teddy Price what their band has to offer to him.

Eddie immediately jumped off the bed and pulled Audrey up. They both cheered in each other's arms. Eddie had spun her around as her arms were around his neck.

The two looked into each other's eyes as their smiles were the only thing that kept them close together.

This is when Eddie realized.

He was in love with Audrey.

"C'mon guys, break it up." Warren pushed the two apart. "Addie needs her rest for tomorrow. She's got to show Teddy Bear what she's got to offer, and you Eddie need your sleep, for... stuff."

Eddie nodded as Warren sent a wink to him as he flipped a finger to Warren.

Warren knew that Eddie liked Audrey. He was the first person Eddie went to when he found out about his crush on the girl standing next to him.

"Karen's waiting for you in your guys' room." Warren pointed outside of the door as Audrey grabbed her shoes and left.

"Seriously, the Ballad? He's gonna think we're Andy fucking Williams." Eddie snapped to Billy. Billy had chosen a song for them to play.

"You know we only get one shot at this Billy," Audrey replied placing the guitar strap over her shoulders. "I'm still shaky on that chorus, too," Graham added.

"What if we only get one song?" Eddie asked as Billy waved him off. "Well, then, this is the one we get, Eddie."

Audrey had cleared her throat, stopping Eddie and Billy got at it. They all turned to see Teddy Price walking into the room. They all fixed their posture, standing up straight as Teddy checked his watch as he sat down.

Graham turned on the amps, as Billy moved his mouth to the mic. "We just, uh, we wanted to say thank you for this opportunity." Billy started as Teddy gave a quick nod.

"We're The Six, and this is 'Silver Nail.'" Billy announced the name. Eddie and Audrey looked at each other giving a smile as Billy looked back to Warren as he counted up to four.

AUDREY: Next thing I knew... The Six had a deal with Teddy Price. [grins]

The band cheered as they entered Warren's van. Billy had been driving it. Eddie was nonstop laughing as he wrapped his arms around Audrey's waist as she threw papers in the air with Warren.

"We did it." Karen and Eddie pointed to each other as they both cheered.

GRAHAM: Finally, we were on our way.

BILLY: People think we played one song for Teddy Price and he gave us a deal. Not true.

AUDREY: We play six to ten songs for him.

-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ-

BILLY: For months he put us through the wringer. But it was worth it.

The six of them came out in a sweat. They could still hear the chatter of cheering in the crowd as they exited through the door.

"Billy thinks we could do better," Audrey placed a cigarette between her lips. "I overheard him talking with Teddy when we left the stage."

Eddie lit her cigarette for her as Warren didn't care about what Eddie thought. "Who gives a shit." Karen replied, "He can eat shit, we're too good for this fucking band!" Karen cheered as they all agreed.

"You mean, too great," Audrey replied as she blew out smoke.

Their chatter about Billy seemed to be interrupted by him yelling; "We're making an album!" His voice got louder as he shouted it. "Are you serious?" Audrey's eyes went wide.

They all rushed over to Teddy, "No, be cool, be cool. Be cool! Be cool!" Teddy asked as it was too late for them to not cheer.

They were all jumping with each other as they cheered for their success.

AUDREY: The next week, we were booked into the studio. Billy was a few minutes, more like hours late. He said he had something to do. [Audrey tilts her head before she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and laughed]

Billy walks into the studio with Camila as the rest of the band had been waiting for Billy. "Your an hour late Billy." Audrey concurred.

Billy walks to the microphone. "Sorry... I had to do something with Camila." He motioned to Teddy to start the recording.

Audrey scoffed as she heard the recorder click into her headphones. The band had started to play the intro to 'Look Me in The Eye'.

Audrey bopped her head as she played the cords to the song. Camila lit a cigarette as the band continued to play. Billy had started to sing by now.

Camila turned the camera as she snapped a few pictures of the band. Audrey felt a flash on her face as Camila sent her a wink as she walked to Billy and snapped a picture.

She soon left the studio and grabbed her recorder and recorded the band.

BILLY: Everything had gone so slowly, and then suddenly it was just happening so fast. We recorded our album in six days, had two weeks off, then it was time to hit the road.

AUDREY: I couldn't be more happier to go on tour, I get to be on tour with the people I love. We had made it into something fun in the studio.

-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ-

Audrey and Karen were in their room packing their things for the tour. "So... you and Eddie," Karen smirked from the other room.

"Me and Eddie what?" Audrey replied, Karen laughed, she knew Audrey was acting dumb. "Don't act dumb Dina! You two almost kissed the other nights, Warren told me."

Audrey sighed as she walked to Karen's part of the room. She leaned onto the beam of the wall. "Maybe... he likes me...? I'm not sure, he sends me mixed signals."

"Dina just ask him." Karen stepped closer to Audrey before Camila rushed into the room. "Ladies... you're now looking at a fiancée and a soon-to-be mother!" Camila tilted her head smiling.

Audrey's eyes went wide, "You're getting married?" Karen asked. "You're going to be a mom?" Audrey asked wrapping her arms around Camila.

Camila nodded, "I'm so happy! The wedding is tonight, invite everyone you know from L.A. It's gonna be a fun one." Camila sang as she left the bedroom.

-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ-

Camila and Billy had gotten married the exact same night,  they shared a romantic kiss as Eddie and Audrey cheered from the side.

Camila had Karen and Audrey be bridesmaids and Billy had Warren, Eddie, and Graham be his best men.

Eddie and Audrey mouthed words to each other one of them being; I need to talk to you.

AUDREY: I didn't know what to say when I saw those words from him. I just nodded and waited 'til he pulled me aside.

Warren was trying to take a picture of Billy and Camila but the lens cap was on, Camila chuckled as she took it off the camera handing it to Audrey who giggled.

AUDREY: I didn't bring any dresses to L. A and nor did Karen or Camila, so we had a girl's evening and went out to buy dresses.

CAMILA: I loved spending time with those girls. I saw this beautiful long sleeve white dress, it was nothing compared to a wedding dress, it was the '70s you can make any white dress look like a wedding dress. [giggles]

KAREN: I had a thing for dresses went it came to weddings, I loved wearing long ones on occasions like Camila's wedding.

CAMILA: When Warren took that picture... [Camila picks up a picture of Billy and Camilas wedding night.] This... this is the only picture of our wedding nights.

WARREN: Mescaline is a powerful drug. [Warren starts to nod and then soon chuckles]

Eddie and Audrey were chatting with Camila. Camila had been laughing the entire time, "It's a nice wedding, right?" Camila asked.

"Nothing compared to the kind of wedding I'd have," Eddie replied as Audrey chuckled. "I haven't been to many weddings, but it kind of feels like a good wedding."

Audrey let out a laugh, "This is the only wedding I've been to and it's the best." Audrey smiled as Camila took a drink of her punch.

"I'm really happy for you," Eddie muttered as Camila was dragged away. Eddie looked down at his drink before he looked to Audrey.

"So I have to talk to you about something," Eddie announced, Audrey had a smile on her face as she looked back from Camila being dragged away to Eddie with a serious look.

"What?" Her smile faded as Eddie breathed. Eddie licked his lips. Audrey had an observed look on her face as she analyzed Eddie. Eddie's topaz eye's looked into her chestnut ones.

"You know..." The blond took a puff of his cigarette. Audrey furrowed her brows as she kept her gaze on Eddie.

"I'm in love with you." Audrey went pale. Her head went back as she stood silent. "Dina please... say something."

Audrey let out a laugh, "I'm just very... shocked." She muttered.

"You know what happened at that gas station in New Mexico? And... and back in Hazelwood when you were on that date. I just felt a ton of jealousy in me." Eddie explained as Audrey stood there in front of him. "I never felt this way before about anyone literally."

"That's... a lot. I always get the same way you do... sometimes." Audrey explained a smile reappeared on her face.

Eddie playfully rolled his eyes. "I like you a lot, and... and I can't get enough of you. Since we were kids." Eddie grabbed her empty hand. "I can't imagine my life without you in it if the band ever breaks up."

"Don't stay that Eddie. The band is never gonna break up." Audrey comforted him. "I know... just metaphorically speaking." He laughed.

"I like you a lot too," Audrey confessed.

AUDREY: Was his confession corny? Yeah... but was it worth it? [Audrey looks to the interviewer]

EDDIE: It was worth it. [grins]

AUDREY: We promised each other that we would keep it a secret from the band, we only told Karen. She promised to keep it a secret as well from the band.
