in the morning the smell of food cooking wakes me up, feeling nauseous. i look to pj who has a bruise forming on his face, before dragging myself out of bed and into the bathroom. i look a mess. hair messily thrown into a bun that's hanging down by my ear, a bruise on my forehead around my split brow and my makeup smeared down my face. i turn the shower on super hot and get in, letting the hot water run down my body. i start washing my hair before i feel arms around me.
"morning," pj says, burying his head in my neck.
"morning you," i say gently, leaning into him.
"how's your head?" he asks.
"no complains," i laugh lightly, remembering the similar interaction we had when we barely knew each other, "how's your face?"
"handsome," he laughs.
"you're an idiot," i say, turning to him. the bruise is bad, though he has been complaining about wanting a black eye for a while now.
"i'm okay bells," he says gently.
"you better be," i sigh. we both shower and then head out, putting on the spare clothes that (i assume) april had put out for us. it was some of bams skate merch and some sweats. comfy and i was grateful. me and pj aren't the last awake. when head downstairs only april, phil, bam, ryan and chris are awake.
"hey babies. are you okay?" april asks gently, holding her arms out to hug me and pj. we group hug and assure her we're okay. she's made breakfast which the boys wolf down which i opt out of in favour for coffee. in the next hour almost everyone wakes up except from steve-o, unsurprising, the guys nickname is sleep-o. bam and ryan decide to prank him and of course i want in. i follow them both upstairs where we find steve-o naked and sprawled out in bed.
"horrific," i laugh quietly. bam grabs a camera, amplifier and guitar from his room. i take the camera from him and decide to film while bam and ryan set up the amp next to his head. bam then climbs onto the bed carefully and positions the guitar over his head. ryan stands by with a handful of flour, ready to antique him. bam silently counts down, making sure i'm ready to film and then starts loudly playing guitar, the noise immediately wakes steve-o, so ryan antiques him, and he lays back angrily but bam keeps playing guitar, seemingly wanting to get him out of bed. so he starts playing right next to his head, hitting steve-o's head on each strike. finally he rolls out of bed, and rushes away from bam.
"morning o," ryan laughs. he gives us a dirty look before shutting himself in the bathroom. we go back downstairs laughing to ourselves and i snuggle back into my spot next to pj.
"did you do good work?" he asks tiredly.
"yeah. we have a very angry, but awake, steve-o," i smile.
"good girl," he laughs slightly. after everyone's properly awake jeff tries to start a sort of meeting in the margeras living room. most people are listening.
"right guys. last night was eventful," he says glancing at me and pj. damn you really do me like that, that shit wasn't even my fault.
"but the next few months are gonna be even better," he smiles deviously. i'm nervous. we talk over a few stunts that have already been planned like the rent-a-car crash-up derby, party boy, and a possible trip to japan. this was news to me, i thought we were just staying US for this but honestly it sounds cool to go to japan. "i have to bring this up again. who's gonna do the butt x-ray."
a round of no's echo through the room.
"come on steve-o, you could do it," pj says.
"nope. mentioned it to my dad and he said absolutely not," steve-o says. we talk a little more about when we'll properly start shooting and then jeff ends his makeshift meeting.
"hey bella. me, steve-o, chris and ryan are going skating later. wanna come?" bam asks.
"duh of course. babe you wanna come? i'll teach you to skate," i ask hopefully.
"i think i might break a bone. i'm good love. i'm meant to be having a meeting with jeff and some of the crew anyway," he explains.
"okay," i smile, leaning back on him. everyone wakes up a little more, eating the leftovers of what april had made for breakfast. at around 2 me and the boys head out to the skatepark, everyone piling into bams new hummer. it's been a little while since i've skated properly. i've been so busy between jackass' modelling that i've not been into it. and brands don't love it when you turn up to set all bruised from a good skate sesh. so it'll be nice to get back into it. it's not busy when we arrive which is good, as we warm up and climb ramps ryan tells me about how bam keeps getting swarmed by fans every time they come to skate. it's kinda sad, i know bam loves meeting fans but it's gotta suck not being able to skate. but right now, there's us and like 3 other people in a group milling around. bam excitedly skates down the ramp first, pulling out a few basic tricks, an ollie over a curb box, then grinding a rail, then he just starts skating around, probably assessing what trick he can do first. i follow after him, dropping in off the quarter pipe before also grinding the rail. the afternoon goes pretty quickly, we play a game of S.K.A.T.E, show off some tricks and have a great sesh. once we're heading home it's around 6, when we get back no one's home but april who's in the kitchen cooking. we all go shower and then i come down to help april with the cooking. i always like hanging out with april, she's the best fake mom. we make dinner, burgers, chips and a salad and phil comes in to make dessert, teaching me how to make a blueberry pie from scratch. about halfway into making the pie, pj comes in from his meeting and starts to help. when no one's around he's so touchy, constantly holding me. it makes me feel safe. we have dinner and then watch a movie while we eat some pie, which is amazing. finally me and pj head back to his with steve-o, chris and jeff. i thank april and bam respectively for their time spent with me and head out. getting home, pj gives me his clothes and we fall asleep on the sofa watching a movie we don't really care about.
