erica is lying in the bed with her hands clasped behind her head. she took nichole up on the offer of sharing a bed.mainly for the company,and for the unnatural fear that most the hess clan has of dying alone in their sleep. erica thinks over what happened in the previous hours.such frustration.first she can act like a total whore with a man she barely knew,yet could barely hold nichole's hand. she was pissed things with suzie went so terribly,in her head it was supposed to go so much better. in spite of the hess clan's life of chaos,there is relatively little drama in their lives. erica had no idea how to handle it and was in way over her head. she liked suzie a lot,but knew she was now on her shit list with serenity and nichole.she sighed and said softly, "fuck it,tomorrow is a new 24 hour slice.lets see how bad i can fuck it up." erica then turned over to go to sleep.first facing away from nichole,before thinking how silly this is,they were grown women,not little girls on a campout. so erica turned over to face her and went to sleep.

erica is in the bathroom putting the finishing touches on her lipstick.a nice,yet subtle pink. she smiles at her reflection in the mirror and tells herself that it's a new day and its going to be a good one. she slides down the stair's handrail and gets a beer from the fridge. "mmmmm newky brown. it IS going to be a good day."

erica grins ."good morning andros. the man who dared smoke inside! how are you this fine morning?"
she then rolls a lemon back and forth on the counter.

"andros,boldly going where eagles dare." erica laughs and picks up the lemon.she starts tossing it from hand to hand. " i'm doing...well."

"ooh,fast hands.always an admirable quality." she takes a paring knife and makes a cut on the lemon then sighs." i got into some real reality show bullshit last night with suze. " she frown slightly,the makes a,squeaky voice while holding the lemon, " oh andros, i feel...i feel sick!" she then squeezes the lemon,causing it's insides to spill out.

Andros laughs. "I think the unfortunate end to the debate over who a baguette on our bus belonged to is the reason my cousin, and our guitarist, is now gay. Tragic it was..." he chuckles. "What do you do to your poor drummer?" He smiles when she jumps up. "Look out or you'll damage those cute feet doing that." He chuckles. He then listens intently to her story about the night before. "Yeah....I haven't spoke to that girl yet, Suzie I mean, but she does seem a little uptight." He laughs. "A dicking you say. Well, as you well know, my eyes in this house are currently fixed elsewhere on a very beautiful lady, but since she isn't interested...I suppose I could deliver a calm down dicking." He laughs. "Smells like....citrus."

Billy has remained in bed all day. He sighs and just stares at the ceiling

Suzie hears big brother

"Ohhhh shit now shit gets real!"

Andros shrugs a little.

"I'd like to stay. I've made some nice friends in here."

He smiles
