Bam! It's Margera!

Chapter 5 - The gang.

This one is reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally long, Im sorry ;-;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Arriving at Castle Bam, I see a few more cars. Some sporty, some simple. Bam parks up next to them all and hops out. I follow close behind, not wanting to be too far from him. One thing I've noticed about Bam is that he's not so stubborn or assy in person. He's really quite nice. Plus, he smells pretty good too. Nice scent of cologne. As we enter the building, two men appear holding bottles of beer. 
"Jess, this is Dico and Novak." I shake Dico's hand and reach out for Novak but he hugs me tightly instead. He is drenched in the smell of alcohol so I don't try to stay too close. As I walk away towards the kitchen, I hear Novak say to Bam "It'd be nice to have a good piece of ass around here." So I turn and walk up to him. I feel he thought I was going to kiss him or something, but instead I knee him hard in the crotch. 
"Im not just a piece of ass." I look up at Bam and wink. Dico and Bam are laughing hard so I continue to walk to the kitchen, feeling proud of my actions. I spot Ryan and walk over to him. 
"Hey, man!" I knudge his arm. 
"Jess! What're you doing here?" He hugs me and smiles.
"Me and Bam were out eating lunch and he invited me back here to meet everyone properly. Get to know everyone better." I sit down next to him and put my jacket on the side. 
"Awesome! We're all just drinking at the moment." He reaches behind him and grabs a bottle for me. 
"I dont know if I should. I dont think I've recovered from last night to be truthful." 
"Oh go ooooon!" I look at the bottle.
"... Fine. But only one!" He grins.
"Only one!" Bam joins us now. 
"What are you two asswhipes talking about then?" He slides between Dunn and I. 
"Not a lot. Just how Jess is a pussy ass drinker." Dunn winks, taking a sip of his beer. 
"Hey! Fuck you! I had a lot last night. I don't drink like that often, if at all!" Bam laughs and takes a sip of a beer he grabbed beforehand. I then open my bottle using my teeth.
"Dude, she's fucking gnarly." Novak mumbles to Dico. 
"Yo Novak, c'mere." I motioned him to us. He then lays on top of us all, so Bam pushes him on the floor. I stand and offer him my hand.
"Don't help him up!" Bam laughs. Novak takes my hand and stands, stumbling slightly. 
"Yeah, she's nice and helps me up, not like you dickheads!" He says, glaring at the guys. 
"You'll learn to hate him." Ryan says, knudging Bam's arm. 
"It takes a lot for me to hate someone, you know." 
"And he'll do all of that!" Bam laughs harder. 
"Hey Bam, I feel like skating. Is there anywhere I can just skate around for a bit?" I knudge Bam with my foot.
"Yeah, I'll take you to the ramps. You can use my board." 
"Wait, you skate?" Novak questions.
"No. I attempt!" The guys all laugh so I stand proud, with a cheesey grin on my face. Bam takes my hand and leads me to the giant driveway that is a skating area. He rolls me a board so I take it and skate around for a few minutes until he joins me. 
"Follow me!" He skates around towards the back of the house so I follow him, the breeze flowing around me. I take the time to really get a grip of the house. It's huge with what seems like 3 floors. I may be wrong but it certainly seems that way. We eventually get to a giant barn of sorts. 
"I remember seeing this on a show once. Viva La Bam maybe?" I yell at Bam.
"It  wouldn't surprise me. I film here often!" He yells back to me.
"It's huge, man!" 
"That's what she said!" He laughs to himself. 
"Mature!" I yell forward, laughing at him. We stop outside so I wait for Bam to open the doors. They slay inwards, revealing what appears to be a giant skatepark bit indoors. 
"Oh I know. This is where you ended Where the Fuck Is Santa!" 
"Ahh, yeah that was funny to shoot." He skates inside so I follow. 

After a few tricks on the ramps, the guys join us and watch us skate. Bam and I continue to skate around, but I start to get hot so I hit out for a while and watch him. I clap and cheer after every tricks which I notice brings a smile to his face. I notice a new fellow had joined the gang so I skate over to them and greet him. 
"Hi, I don't think I met you inside." He turns and smiles. 
"Oh, I've just arrived. Im Josh, I sometimes film for Bam when he skates."
"Nice to meet you, Josh. Im Jess, a friend of Bam's." I smile and we shake hands. After a few seconds I notice that he has a camera. 
"This may sounds strange but would you mind if I took a few snaps of Bam while he skates? I left my camera at home unfortuantely." 
"Oh sure! Be careful with it though. It's a bitch to fix if it breaks." He hands me the camera and shows me the basics. 
"I'll do a tester. Yo guys, smile!" I turn the camera at the gang and take a photo of them all smiling and laughing, holding their beers up high. 
"Awesome. Shan't be long!" I slide down the ramp on my board, the camera around my neck. Bam is still throwing out some tricks so I crowch by the railing and wait for him to come past me. When he does, I snap a great shot of him in the air. I continue to follow him around slowly, trying to get some good snaps. I look up at the guys and they're all watching us. I get back on my board and skate up to the top of a ramp. While there, I wait for Bam to get close and once he does, I get a good shot. I decide that Im finished so I skate back to the guys. I hand the camera up to Josh and he flicks through the photos. 
"These are oretty good, you know. Ever thought of becoming a professional?" I flick through some memories of myself back in college. 
"I did once. But then I got offered the job Im in now. If it werent for that, I wouldnt be here. But I guess I could try to mix the two together? Im doing a journalism assignment right now about the life of a skater so I can see photos like that becoming useful for it." As Josh and I engage in coversation, Novak steals the board I'm leaving my foot on and slides down the ramp by sitting on it. Bam then collides with him, casuing Novak to be kicked directly in the face and Bam to go flying into the ramps. 
"Shit!" I slide down the ramp toward Bam. 
"You alright?" He looks up and smiles.
"Ive had worse." I reach out my hand and he takes it. I look at this head. 
"Dude, you've cut your head." I hold his hair aways from the cut and pull out some tissue I have in my back pocket. I shake it out and gently dab it on the cut, trying to be as delicate as I can. 
"That hurt?" He shakes his head and smiles. I look into his eyes, the deep blue consuming whatever feelings I had at the time. I smile at him. II then move his hand to hold the tissue on his head. 
"Just keep that there for a while." Bam and I then walk over to Novak. I crowch by his side and roll him over. 
"You okay, man? You got kicked pretty hard." I move the hair from his face and check for any cuts. He mumbles but I can't understand. 
"Let's get you inside, princess. Someone carry him in?" I grab the board while Ryan flicks Novak over his shoulder. Bam and I walk behind the gang as the talk about what happened.
"I got some pretty cool shots of you skating." Bam looks over at me. 
"Id like to see them sometime. I think I heard you mention that you have a camera?" He keeps cheecking the tissue for fresh blood which seems to be clearing up.
"I do. It's at home though. I'll bring it out next time." I smile at him. We arrive back at the house after a few minutes of silence. Not bad silence, the kind where you can just think and it's not awkward. 
"Yo Jess, another beer?" Ryan drops Novak on a coach and shouts to me.
"Uhm, nah I think I should be getting home actually." Bam loks at me and I can see the look of disappointment on his face.
"No! Bam, she can stay here, right? You've got space!" Ryan walks up to us, waiting for the answer.
"What do you say, J? Fancy staying the night?" I think for a few seconds, and go for it. 
"Ah, what the heck. Sure!" I look at Bam and wink. He smiles and hugs me tightly. 
"I think I should sleep soon though. Im pretty damn tired." I say to Bam, walking over to Novak. 
"Hey, watch this!" Bam whispers, filling a tub of freezing water. "Wakey, wakey sunshine!" He pours the water of Novak which causes him to fall off the coach. 
"You're a dickhole, fuck you." I kneel and help Novak up. 
"You staying the night as well, princess?" I suggest to Novak. 
"Im too fucking scared to knowing what these guys could do to me!" They all burst into laughter, Dunn the most. 
"Just go to sleep. You'll need it after that kick." He lays back down onto the couch and curls his head into his now soaked body. Bam leads me upstairs and shows me where I'll be staying and it's better than my entire house put together. I notice a computer and ask Bam if I can use it to start my paper. 
"Yeah, of course. If you find porn. It's not mine, I promise." I just laugh and walk over to it, switching it on and waiting for the screen to flash up.
"Right, I'll be downstairs if you need anything. Bathroom is just through that door there." I walk over to Bam and hug him tightly. I feel his arms wrap around my body tightly. The moment is perfect. He moves his head back slightly and looks at me, his eyes creating the perfect distraction. He smiles and  kisses my cheek. I only blush and smile. 
"So cute." He lets me go and walks out, leaving me to readjust myself. I sit down by the computer and open a document. 
"The Ups and Downs of a Skater." Bingo.
