You'll Be the Death of Me
Five.
The morning after the show I was rudely awakened at about 6am. Bam and I were laid in one of the spare beds at Mel's place, where we had both just crashed the night before. I looked at who had woken me and groaned. Mel. She seemed extremely perky for this time of morning.
"Get up. I have news!" She smiled. I groaned, and rolled out of bed, still fully clothed from last night. I stumbled into the kitchen after her, where she had a nice hot cup of coffee waiting for me. I drank it down as fast as possible, to wake myself up, and then told her to go on with what she wanted to say. "Well, you know Johnny took me out last night?"
"Yeah, I had to take Bam to Fall Out Boy with me."
"Sorry. But this is still amazing. To be honest, I'm glad I went with Johnny and not you."
"Tell all." She then proceeded to go into great detail of the night.
"And then he said he'd liked me since the moment he saw me... And he kissed me." She smiled, as she ended her story.
"Aww! Get Johnny being all sweet. So, are you guys together now, or what?"
"Erm... Not exactly. Nothing's really official, but we have a... thing. I guess."
"Better than nothing."
"True, very, very true. So, you're off to America today... Any clue when I'll be seeing you again?"
"Give it about 3 months, and you'll have me all to yourself again."
"Yay, I can't be doing with sharing you with anyone." I smiled and hugged her.
"I'll miss you, Meli. Tell Harri I'll miss her too?"
"You can do that yourself. She said she'd come see you off. Speaking of, go wake that lot up. You have an hour and a half before you have to be there and you know how long Ville takes." I nodded and jumped off my chair, going back to the room I had slept in.
"OI! FUCKERS!" Neither stirred. "GET THE FUCK UP!" Same reaction again. Fine. I walked over to Ville and kicked him up the arse.
"OW! What the fuck was that for?!" He shouted.
"For not getting up. Now wake Bam up! its half past 6, and it takes about an hour to get there with all that damn traffic."
"Shit. Okay." I walked out of the room, grabbing clothes as I went, and went to the bathroom to change. I knew the guys'd let me shower when I got over there, and there was no real point showering before and after a flight, was there? By the time I was changed, Ville was already at the door needing a pee, fully dressed. I wandered over to Mel's room and stole her eyeliner and mascara, which is all I really wanted to wear. No point with anything else today. I barely wore make up anyway. As soon I was done, Bam walked out of the bedroom and over to the kitchen, where I was headed. By this time it was about quarter to, so I made a random quick bowl of cereal for each of us and told the two of them not to be slow. They were done rather quickly, and the 4 of us headed out to my car. We loaded the small suitcases the guys had into the boot of my car, and Mel and Ville sat in the back, while I sat up front with Bam. Johnny said he would wait for Harri, and get a lift off her seeing as though he hates middle seats, and no one else was willing to trade places with him.
We got there quicker than I expected, so before 8, and headed into the airport. Harri and Johnny arrived about 5 minutes after we did and met up with us in the lounge, while we were waiting to check in and such. Check in opened at 8 and we all sorted everything out. By half past our plane had arrived, early might I add, and we were saying our goodbyes to our friends. I gave Harri, Mel and Johnny a hug, then said goodbye. Sending a wink in Johnny's direction when I noticed his arm around Mel's waist. He smiled.
"I'll miss you, Frey. Have a good time, yeah?" He said.
"Will do. I'll miss you too Johnny. See you in a few months. You better come visit me for my next birthday as well."
"Wouldn't miss it for the world. Now go, before you miss the God damn plane!" I gave them all one last hug before Bam, Ville and I all walked over to our terminal. We quickly boarded the plane. We had first class, and the three of us were all in a row. Ville, me, then Bam. I got to be stuck in the middle of them, and no doubt, they'd end up using me as a pillow at some point during the flight.
"Guys..." I whined.
"Yes, Freda?" Ville replied.
"How long's this flight?"
"About 8 hours."
"You're shitting me. I think I'm gonna cry."
"Aww, don't cry baby, you'll be just fine. You have me and Ville here to entertain you!" Bam said. I smiled. No matter what he said, this was still going to be a long trip...
8 Hours later the captain finally announced that the plane was preparing for landing, and I almost yelled out in relief. The past 8 hours had been the most boring in my life. Bam and Ville, like I said, had quickly fallen asleep and used me as a pillow, and they didn't have any good in flight movies on. The captain announced that it was just after 1pm local time and I groaned. I still had most of a day ahead of me. This sucks.
"Don't complain, Freddy. You can stay with me all day." Bam grinned. I just groaned again. "Oh, well don't I feel loved!"
"Aww, I'm sorry Bammy." I said.
"You better be. Or you'll get a lot of pay back coming your way."
"I'm sorry!" I said, immediately. Flinging my arms around him. He laughed.
"Apology accepted." The plane soon began its descent and landed soon after that. I grabbed my carry on bag and made me way off the plane quickly, before anyone else actually. Bam and Ville followed closely behind and we made our way into the airport. "Right, a couple of the guys are waiting for us outside." Bam said, checking his phone, which had been turned off. "They brought the hummer." He grinned. I looked at Ville for an explanation.
"You'll pick it all up in a bit." I just nodded and followed the two of them to baggage claim, and then out of the airport. As soon as we got out of the building, Bam spotted his friends and got moving.
"Hey guys, I bet you missed me."
"Hell yeah, it was lonely and cold without you in my bed at night, Bam!" Some random guy shouted. Bam laughed.
"Sorry, Novak, but I'm afraid I can no longer sleep in the same bed as you... You take up too much space." Novak put on a shocked and hurt face, I smiled lightly at this.
"Hey, Bam, who's the girl?" Another guy asked. "Oh, and hi Ville."
"Dunn, this is Freda, Freda these are my friends, Raab Himself, Ryan Dunn and Brandon Novak." He pointed to each as he said their names and they all smiled at me. "Oh, and you guys, she's totally off limits. Ville and Johnny would totally kill you if anything happened to her while she was over here." They all put on sad faces, making me laugh. We loaded up all our shit into Bam's hummer and Bam kicked them all out of the front, and into the back to share 3 seats between 4 of them, leaving the front 2 seats free for the two of us. I smiled in thanks as he opened the passenger door for me, then ran around to his side of the car. About 10 minutes into the ride, everyone had gotten talking, besides Bam and me.
"You doing a repeat of Fall Out Boy?" He asked me, chuckling.
"Maybe not as bad, but I get like this around new people." I replied.
"Relax, they're basically like me. They'll love you."
"Oh, well isn't that a comforting thought. More Bam's in the world."
"Hey, that's a great thought!" He said, mocking being offended. I laughed at him and silence fell upon us once again.
We soon reached Bam's house and saw everyone waiting for us outside. As soon as Bam parked the car and got out everyone kind of went over to Ville, saying about how they'd missed him the past few months.
"Hey! What about me? Was I not missed?!" Bam asked.
"You were... It's just Ville's less annoying than you." A blond haired woman said. She then noticed me. "Bam, who's your friend?"
"Ape, everyone, this is Freda. Freda this is... Ape and Phil, my mom and dad. Then there's Rake and Dico." They all said a hello, which I returned with a small wave.
We soon all moved into the house, and Bam quickly showed me where to put my stuff. I was in the room between his and Ville's for the next 3 months. Oh, joy. Bam then told me where the bathroom was so I could shower. I quickly grabbed my stuff and made my way over to the bathroom.
Half an hour later I was out of the bathroom, and decided to see Ville. I knocked on his door and he answered straight off. I noticed his suitcases were empty.
"Hey, Frey, what's up?"
"Nothing. Just bored that's all. Dunno what to do really..."
"Haha, you'll be fine. None of them'll rape you, promise. Although, I don't know about Bam..." I raised my eyebrows at him and he laughed. "Kidding. Bam wouldn't go near you, he'd be scared of having his arse kicked." Now it was my turn to laugh. "I've been told to head down to the pirate bar after I've finished unpacking. Coming with?"
"Erm... Sure, as long as you help me unpack my shit first."
"Fair enough." We walked over to my room and quickly unpacked all my stuff, then Ville lead me to the "Pirate bar." It was exactly the sort of thing I expected Bam to have in his house. I'd even spotted a heartagram on one of the walls on my way round. It seems like my kind of house.
"Get up. I have news!" She smiled. I groaned, and rolled out of bed, still fully clothed from last night. I stumbled into the kitchen after her, where she had a nice hot cup of coffee waiting for me. I drank it down as fast as possible, to wake myself up, and then told her to go on with what she wanted to say. "Well, you know Johnny took me out last night?"
