“Nothing I wouldn’t do/to go back to the past and wait for you.” He sang that, sitting right next to me. Billy: Daisy put her hand on mine, to stop me from playing. I looked at her and she said, “I like writing with you.” And I said, “I like writing with you, too.”
okay.. calm down
Daisy: He said, “I like a lot about you.”
NOO BILLY STOP
Daisy: Before I even really knew what I was doing, I leaned in to kiss him.
BRUH
And this was before he could swim. And I stood there next to him, and my brain went, I could push him in. And that terrified the hell out of me. I didn’t want to push him in. I would never push him in but…it scared me
Me
And I was proud of what I did.
Youre proud you didnt cheat?
I’m saying that when you really love someone, sometimes the things they need may hurt you, and some people are worth hurting for.
But loving somebody isn’t perfection and good times and laughing and making love. Love is forgiveness and patience and faith and every once in a while, it’s a gut punch. That’s why it’s a dangerous thing, when you go loving the wrong person. When you love somebody who doesn’t deserve it. You have to be with someone that deserves your faith and you have to be deserving of someone else’s. It’s sacred.
I heard him say, “Daisy’s gotta go.” And I knew. I mean, of course I knew.
:(
Eddie: We recorded it without him.
YUHHHH
Eddie: It was a long day. I was getting so sick of those fucking people.
LMFAO
It was America. It was tits. It was sex. It was drugs. It was summer. It was angst. It was rock ’n’ roll.
But when I got home, I realized I was still smiling. I was happy for them. They made a lot of sense together. I thought, I bet they get married. And I never thought that about anybody.
Daisy: Nicky and I were in the Boboli Gardens in Florence when he said, “Let’s get married.” So then we flew to Rome and got married by some family friend of his who was a priest. We said I was Catholic. I lied to a Catholic priest.
Life
I said, “Wait, I haven’t slept with you, have I?” I had not.
Ily silly goose
Simone: I dragged her ass home.
Queen
Billy: I was floored—I mean absolutely positively floored, my jaw about hit the floor—when she showed up married.
It was the first step toward Aurora not only being an album, but an event. It was the last kick it needed to blast off.
Also, yeah, I’ll be on the bus with the tits painted on the window, thanks.

“I just play music, man. I’m no more important than anybody else.” Watching that arrogant son of a bitch pretend to be humble was enough to make me want to scream.
its ok eddie
And I thought, I want to be normal.
is he... gay? :/
He said, “No, I’m leaving.” I said, “Leaving?” He said, “At the end of the tour, I’m quitting the band.”
Maybe Camila wasn’t the person I was the most in love with.
KYS
Daisy: Teddy had a heart attack.
WHAT
If the universe wanted me to get clean, it wouldn’t have killed Teddy.
girl
I’d failed her. She had asked me to help her get sober. And once Teddy died, I abandoned her.
Oooooo
All I will say is that you show up for your friends on their hardest days. And you hold their hand through the roughest parts. Life is about who is holding your hand and, I think, whose hand you commit to holding.
Daisy: I started singing and I looked at him. And he looked at me. And, you know what? For three minutes, I think I forgot we were performing for twenty thousand people. I forgot his family was standing there. I forgot we were singers in a band. I just existed. For three minutes. Singing to the man I loved.
Graham: I was angry.
BUT
But what right did he have? To yell at me?
No
Author: Wait a minute. Author’s Note: While I have made a concerted effort to remove myself from the narrative, I have included here a verbatim transcript of one conversation I had with Daisy Jones because I am, in fact, the only one that can corroborate this essential piece of Daisy’s story.
Daisy: Your mom…well, Camila…or…should I keep saying everyone’s names? You said earlier that I had to always say her name. Author: Yeah, go ahead. Call me Julia. Call my mom Camila. Just as we’ve been doing.
OH
“Don’t count yourself out this early, Daisy. You’re all sorts of things you don’t even know yet.”
Camila Dunne thought I was worth saving.
bc she’s queejn
And he said, “Makes you want to live to fight another day, doesn’t it?” And I said, “Yes. It does.” He looked at me and I stared at the glass and…I felt strong enough. To walk away from it. And I didn’t know how much longer I’d feel that strong. So I put down a twenty and I said, “Thank you.”
I turned to everybody on the bus and I said, “It’s over. The whole thing. It’s over.”
Because your mother saved me from myself.
But I promise you, I loved her very much. And I was so very sorry to hear she passed away.
UGH
Author’s Note: My mother, Camila Dunne, died before the completion of this book.
HU
she died surrounded by our family, my father, Billy Dunne, at her side.
AJAJK
And I met Frank.
ok so he is
She was an incredible woman. She was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. Give me all the platinum albums you want, all the drugs and all the Cuervo and all the fun times and the successes and the fame and all of it, I would hand them all back to you, just as the cost of my memories with her. She was an absolutely incredible, incredible woman. And I didn’t deserve her.
Your life isn’t about me, honey, my life is about you.
