Part fifty seven:

~Bam’s POV~
Hell and me were watching a movie on the couch, most of the guys were out with girlfriends and we didn’t want to go to the bar. "Helena!! " Ape suddenly screeched. She came running through the front door. "Did you.. did you.. " She looked completely bewildered, I just had to laugh. "What April? " She asked. "Did you sent an excerpt of my recipes to your publisher!? " My eyes widened and I looked down at the girl in my arms. She shrunk a bit deeper in the couch, a sheepish grin on her face. "I might’ve suggested he’d look at a few things.. " She mumbled with a growing blush. I gently squeezed her arm. That was brilliant.. can’t believe I didn’t think of it. "They want me to publish a cookbook with them!!" Ape said, still stunned. Hell jumped out of my arms. "Seriously!? Congratulations April! " She wrapped her in a huge hug and as I saw my mom place her head on Hell’s shoulder, a few tears escaped her eyes. "Thank you honey.. thank you.. " She whispered. I smiled at the sight, it was time my mom got some recognition.

"I’ll personally make you regret it if you ever hurt that girl Brandon.. " Ape said once Hell went to the bathroom. I laughed. "I’m not planning on it Ape, trust me.." She nodded shortly. "Good.. " She then walked out again, mumbling something dazed about a recipe she’d look at. I smirked. She wasn’t the most organized person, but I love her for it.
Hell pulled me out of my thoughts when she sat down again, on top of me. I coughed. "Hey, I’m not that heavy! " she said, a little hurt. I coughed again. "No.. " Cough. "Can’t you hear that’s a sick cough? " Cough. She raised an eyebrow at me. "No, I’m not putting a nurse outfit on. " I laughed. "Shit.. " She smirked. Then an idea struck me. "Not even for our honeymoon? " I said wiggling my eyebrows. There was not an immediate no, needless to say this got my hopes up. "Hah! I’m going to hold you to that! " I yelled triumphantly. She laughed. "I didn’t even say anything! " I smirked. "But you didn’t say no.. " She served the smirk right back to me. "I didn’t say yes either.. " I made a pleading face. "Come on! Then you won’t have to buy me anything for the next 3 birthdays! " She raised an eyebrow at me. "It’s THAT important to you!? " She knew I loved my birthday.. it was always a good excuse to do stupid shit and get rewarded for it.
I nodded. She rolled her eyes and kissed me "We’ll see.. " Okay, that got my spirits up for the rest of the day! I can’t wait.. just three more weeks and then I can really call her mine..

"Dunnie’s bringing home his girlfriend! " Hell was jumping around the house, annoying the hell out of Dunn. He’d decided he wanted us to meet his girlfriend of a few months.. Hell couldn’t be happier. She had been taunting him with it for about an hour now, pretty amusing. I chuckled. "Hell, just sit down.. " I said through laughs. Dunn sighed. "THANK YOU! God woman.. " Just as he was about to finish the sentence, the doorbell rang. I didn’t even have time to blink, he’d already ran to the door to greet his girlfriend. We all snickered.

~Your POV~
"Guys, this is Jade.. Jade, this is.. well.. everyone. " Dunn said leading a short girl into the room. She was pretty, her hair was almost as red as Dunn’s was. She smiled and waved a bit awkwardly. "Hi.. everyone.. " She said grinning sheepishly. I rolled my eyes and stood up. "Way to be polite beardo.. " I said shoving Dunn a little. The guys chuckled at my newfound nickname as I held my hand out to the girl. "Hey, I’m Hell, Bamm’s girlfriend. " I said shaking it. "Fiancee! " The entire room bellowed. I grinned sheepishly. "Sorry.. fiancée.. I can’t help it, it’s just a bit surreal.." She grinned "I can imagine.. It’s really nice to meet you.. " She leaned a bit closer. "I admire you for being the only girl around here.. " She whispered, glancing over my shoulder to the ruckus that the guys had caused. I laughed. "It’s something you get used to very quickly.. " I turned around. "Dunn, I’m stealing your girlfriend! " Before he could even react, I’d pushed the girl outside again. "Sorry, but you seem like a cool girl, and I’m in desperate need of some girl time. " She laughed as we sat down on the lawnchairs. "That’s understandable, like I said, I admire you.. How long have you lived here? " I shrugged. "I still have my own houses. " She raised her eyebrow at the plural use. I smiled sheepishly. "Big inheritance.. But I do spend most of my time here.. I just can’t get rid of those houses, they hold too much memories. " She nodded. "You’ve been through a lot huh? " I looked up to meet her gaze. "I’m sorry? " She smiled reassuringly. "Not trying to intrude.. It’s just.. It shows.. It’s not necessarily negative, but I can see you haven’t had the easiest life.. " I smiled. "I guess you could say that yeah.. it’s coming together though. I’m really happy here, like I said, I still can’t believe I’m actually getting married. She chuckled. "Yeah, that can overwhelm a girl alright.. Did you find your dress already? " I nodded. "Yeah, it’s a simple dress though.. but I don’t need that much. We both agreed to make it a relatively small wedding. We’re getting married in this old church outside of town, it’s a bit old.. but the insides look amazing. " She smiled. "I’m glad you’re happy.. It really rubs off on the others I think, you’re important to them.. " I looked at her confused. "How come you know so much about us, when you just met us? " She chuckled, a bit ashamed. "I’m a bit of an empath sometimes. Sorry if it bothers you.. " I shook my head. "Nah it’s fine.. I guess you’re right.. in some ways. " She smiled.

"Dunn! I approve! " I grinned cheekily once we came inside again. We’d been talking outside for at least 3 hours. He rolled his eyes. "Well that just made my day Helena.. I’m glad you approve.. " I stuck out my tongue and skipped upstairs. "Where do you think you’re going!? " Bam yelled after me. "Computer! " I made my way to his office. She didn’t know it.. but Jade had just given me new inspiration after a writersblock I had for ages. Then I though of something and made my way back to the stairs. "Jade!? " She turned her head. "You’re escorting Dunny to the wedding right? " They looked at each other briefly before she shrugged. "I guess I am.. " I nodded. "Good.. " And made my way back again.

~Bam’s POV~
" What the hell was that about? " Dunn asked looking in my direction. I laughed. "Beats me dude, even I don’t get her sometimes.. " We all laughed. "She’s nice though.. I think she’s got a pure heart.. " Jade suddenly spoke up. We all looked at her, a bit confused about the sudden spiritual/mushy remark. She blushed a little. "Sorry, need to think before I speak.. " She said fidgeting with her hands in her lap. I smiled. "Nah.. you’re right, she’s amazing. " She looked up, a bit relieved. I stood up and went upstairs too, in search of Hell.
"Lock the door! " Came the unison shout from the livingroom.

"And keep it down! " Novak added. I smirked and shook my head. This was what I had to live with..
