EDDIE: [sighs]

SUZANNE: [scoffs, looks away]

BILLY: I, uh, it was a long time ago.

CAMILA: I remember everything.

The phone could be heard ringing through the wall that connected Eddie and Suzanne's shared room to Billy's.

"It's probably Camila, again," Eddie said while stroking Suzanne's arm.

"One day I'm just gonna call her up and tell her everything he's been doing, Eds," she said, nuzzling further into his chest, "I feel so guilty."

"I know you do, doll. But it's not your fault, it's his. And as much as I would like to go in there and scream my head off at him, we both know I can't," he consoled.

Truthfully, she knew her boyfriend was right. She couldn't be the one to tell Camila, it had to be Billy. But, if she happened to come by and catch him in the act... Suzanne couldn't stop her. So she waited for Camila to come.

SUZANNE: I wish I'd said something, you know. Cause I think I'd've much preferred Billy being angry with me than the horrified look Camila had given me after she saw him in the van with those girls. That was probably my worst mistake in all of this.

Graham, Eddie, and Suzanne had been walking back from the convenience store down the road from their hotel when all of the sudden, a frantic Camila walked towards them. The group shared the same shocked expression, knowing what was going on in the van not fifteen feet away from them.

"Hey! What.." Camila spoke as the group of three stopped and looked towards vehicle.

Suzanne gestured toward the van, but her movement was small enough that only Camila saw it. Quickly the dark eyed girl began fastly walking towards it.

"Uh, hey, Camila, wait. Just wait, listen to me," Graham had said, reaching out to try and stop the girl.

"Get off!" She yelled, shoving him out of her way.

A slight gasp came from Camila as she opened the vans door, but it was heard by all. From inside the van, Eddie, Graham, and Suzanne could hear Billy whispering profanities until his wife rushed off.

EDDIE: I mean it killed me what he did to Camila, but what could I do. If we told her, she'd be heartbroken. I knew I could deal with that, but Suzanne couldn't. She was always empathetic in the way that if someone she loved was crying, she'd cry, too.

Suzanne made her way over to the now open door, and looked at the groupies inside of it. All she saw was red.

"Get the hell out! Get your shit and go before I take care of you myself!" She screamed into their faces as Billy hurried out of the van. Both girls inside of it whimpered as they put on their clothes the fastest they ever had. They each ran away fast as Suzanne could hear Billy ask the boys behind her, "What the hell did you guys do?"

She turned around with her jaw clenched as she tried to decrease her fury. She knew she should have told Camila about what Billy had been up to. Hell, the girl had called her many times to check in and see if her husband was okay. Each time she'd answer with,"I'm not sure, I haven't seen him in a while." And that was true. Suzanne never saw Billy outside of gigs nowadays, the pair never wrote together anymore or even exchanged witty banter. She could, however, hear everything he was doing in the room next door, and that was what she held back.

Quickly, she stormed off to her room, as Eddie followed her. He could only hope she wouldn't take out her anger on him.
