"I want to write a song but you need have to say you wrote it." Camila asked Minnie. Warren and Eddie went to watch roller ball for the millionth time. Karen and Graham were at the beach. Camila and Minnie were at a diner. "What?" Minnie spat out her milkshake. "I'll need you to help me though" Camila begged. "Of course" Minnie smiled.

"That was amazing" Minnie and Karen hugged daisy. "I actually had something i wanted to run by you" Minnie told Daisy "You don't have to run anything by me it's your band too" Daisy smiled and grabbed her hands "go sing that song" Daisy told her.

"Everyone in the booth" Daisy shoved them all in. "I actually only partly wrote this but the other writer she wishes to be anonymous." Minnie swallowed.

"So tight
To the rope that I'm hangin' from
Off this island?
This was an escape plan (This was an escape plan)
Carefully timed it
So let me go
And dive into the waves below Who tends the orchards?
Who fixes up the gables?
Emotional torture
From the head of your high table
Who fetches the water
From the rocky mountain spring?
And walk back down again
To feel your words and their sharp sting?
And I'm gettin' fuckin' tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting
If our love died, would that be the worst thing?
For somebody I thought was my saviour
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour
The calloused skin on my hands is crackin'
If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?
And the silence haunts our bed chamber
You make me do too much labour

Apologies from my tongue
Never yours
Busy lapping from a flowing cup
And stabbing with your fork
I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man)
And weaponise
The false incompetence
It's dominance under guise"

Minnie stared at Billy for the rest of the song.

"If we had a daughter
I'd watch and could not save her
The emotional torture
From the head of your high table
She'd do what you taught her
She'd meet the same cruel fate
So now I've gotta run
So I can undo this mistake
At least I've gotta try"

"The capillaries in my eyes are bursting
If our love died, would that be the worst thing?
For somebody I thought was my saviour
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour
The calloused skin on my hands is crackin'
If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?
And the silence haunts our bed chamber
You make me do too much labour"

Billy looked at Camila who was smiling at Minnie.

"All day, every day: Therapist, mother, maid
Nymph, then a virgin nurse, and a servant
Just an appendage, live to attend him
So that he never lifts a finger
Twenty-four-seven baby machine
So he can live out his picket fence dreams
It's not an act of love if you make her
You make me do too much labour"

"Cami, Karen And Daisy come here for the next bit" Minnie said into the mic. "me?" Camila mouthed and Minnie nodded. Daisy grabbed both of the girls hands and dragged them out putting head phones on them. "i need you all too feel the song" Minnie told them "i think we all do" Camila winked

"All day, every day: Therapist, mother, maid
Nymph, then a virgin, nurse, and a servant
Just an appendage, live to attend him
So that he never lifts a finger
Twenty-four-seven baby machine
So he can live out his picket fence dreams
It's not an act of love if you make her
You make me do too much labour"

"we will all sing different parts now"

"The capillaries in my eyes are bursting (All day, every day: Therapist, mother, maid)
If our love died, would that be the worst thing? (Nymph, then a virgin, nurse, and a servant)
For somebody I thought was my saviour (Just an appendage, live to attend him)
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour (So that he never lifts a finger)
The callous skin on my hands is crackin' (Twenty-four-seven baby machine)
If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? (So he can live out his picket fence dreams)
And the silence haunts our bed chamber (It's not an act of love if you make her)
You make me do too much labour"

"What the fuck was that" Billy stormed into the room. "A song" Minnie Crossed her arms. "If we produce it, it will cause a riot" Billy told them all. "It's not going on the album" Billy waved his arms about "Show of hands who thinks this song should go on the album?" Minnie said. Minnie Daisy and Karen out there hands up followed by Warren and Eddie. Cami then put her hand up "That's my girl" Minnie smiled "Looks like it's going on the album" Minnie smiled. "Imma dip" Daisy said looking at Minnie "Imma dip too" Minnie coughed.

"That can't be good" Graham said staring at the girls leaving. "Why?" Warren asked. "let me know if they come back high bud" Eddie patted his shoulder.

Warren began to notice how much weight Minnie had lost recently and how she constantly looked like she was on a different planet. Warren wasn't too worried though it would be hypocritical of him.

"she will be fine" Camila told Warren in spanish. " i just can't loose her not like this" Warren told Camila.

Meanwhile Daisy and Minnie were high out of their minds. "I need to ask you something." Daisy told Minnie. "Go ahead daisy" Minnie giggled. "Should we throw a party?" Daisy asked "Fuck yes"

About a hour later the party was in full swing. The band was here and everyone in the california area who was somebody. "Minnie" Minnie heard behind her. "she turned around and saw Karen she hugged her. over karen's shoulder she saw a groupie sitting with Warren. "excuse me a second Karen" Minnie said as she began to go find Daisy. "gimme something" Minnie asked Daisy. "Are you sure that's a good idea" Daisy questioned Minnie just held her hand out. Minnie placed a pill in her mouth.

She slowly walked towards Warren. She smiled at the groupie. "What's your name?" Minnie asked "Angelina" she replied with a straight face. " Well Angelina i hope your having a good time with my husband" Minnie placed her hands on her hips. "Minnie your bleeding" Warren told her. "Shut up" Minnie snapped at him. "No wonder i will probably end up going back with him later if he has to deal with you all the time" Minnie just smiled sweetly "oh sweetie" she then gripped the girls pony tail and began dragging her across the by the grass. "You stay away from me and Warren you got that angelina?" Minnie smiled. "Your one psycho bitch" Angelina spat.

Minnie: What ever Daisy gave me was one powerful drug.

"Babe your bleeding" Warren said trying to catch up to her. "i don't care" Minnie deadpanned. "Minnie" Warren yelled. "What Warren what?" Minnie huffed. "What is going on with you?" Warren was looking at her eyes. "Nothing" Minnie laughed. "I know you i know when something is up" Warren sighed. "You don't know a fucking thing" Minnie said into his ear. "Minnie" Warren said as she began walking off. "If i don't know a fucking thing, what? should we just call this whole thing off" Warren said and instantly regretted it. "Maybe we should if you feel SOOOO strongly about it" Minnie laughed. "Good" Warren said "Good" Minnie huffed.

Warren:to be honest i don't know why that happened!
