chapter 2:

After purchasing our tickets from the girl behind the counter at Fairman's, we made our way back to our hotel room to get ready for the concert.

After both showering and getting dressed we left for the club. We were both giddy school girls as we made our way giggling and skipping down the side walks of West Chester. The closer we got, the louder it became and soon we were stepping up to the doors.

'Shit look at the line!' I said pointing to the unmoving line.

'You got a ticket?' The large man at the door said.

'Yeah.' Nora said.

The man motioned us forward with four fingers. I looked at Nora and then stepped forward handing him my ticket. He took it, ripped the end off, stamped my hand, and repeated the process on Nora.

'Come on!' I said as they stepped into the club. The walls were a deep crimson red. There were couches and tables scattered. A large bar packed with people ordering drinks was to the right. Above there was a loft overlooking everyone. And straight ahead was a stage.

Nora and I looked at eachother smiling.

'Let's get a drink!' Nora shouted over the heavy metal blaring over the speakers. I nodded and we made our way towards the bar.

We approached the bar. A man with curly brown hair came towards us. His hair was shoulder length with a green bandana wrapped around his head.

'What can I get you?' He asked with a smile.

Nora stood speechless staring into his eyes. Rolling mine and smirking I said, 'Can I have two virgin strawberry daquries?'

'Sure.' He said glancing at me before smiling once more at Nora and then making our drinks. Nora turned to look at me with wide eyes.

'He was cute.' I said with a smile.

'Oh my God, Addison!' She gasped and I knew she was in love.

'He was looking at you, too.' I said with a wink. I turned to find Nora's new man sliding our drinks across the bar. I went for my purse to pay but I was stopped when a cup hit the barman on the head.

'Ow!' He said holding the top of his head and looking at the loft above.

'Yo Seth!' A familiar voice called. I looked up and my heart stopped. There was the famous Bam Margera in all his glory. Drink in hand, he leaned over the railing and shouted something to the barman that I couldn't hear over the music.

I guessed this bandana wearing man was named Seth. He nodded to Bam and then turned to us.

'The drinks are on the house.' He said smiling.

'Thanks.' Nora managed to say.

I looked back towards the balcony. Bam was still staring at us. He smiled at me before turning and walking away from the railing.

'The show starts in ten.' Seth said gaining my full attention. 'I'd go get a place up front.'

Nora and I nodded our thanks before taking our drinks and making our way towards the stage. Puritania by Dimmu Borgir was pulsing through the speakers and I swayed my hips as we came to the front of the stage.

'Can you believe this?' Nora shouted over the Norwegian rock music.

'No!' I screamed letting the beat take me as I danced.

As the song ended the crowd cheered and turned towards the stage. Deron Miller came out with Bam right on his heels. I looked at Bam's outfit. He was clearly immitating his fashion role model Andy McCoy. He raised both his arms and did his practically signature 'rock on' sign.

'Aw yeah, fuck yeah!' He said into the microphone. 'We got cKy playin' tonight!'

The crowd erupted in cheers.

'But first.' Deron said as the noise died down. He leaned away from the microphone as Bam whispered something in his ear. I swore to myself that Bam had just pointed to Nora and I, but I was distracted from Deron's nodding head when Chad I. Ginsburg, Matt Deis, and Jess Margera took their places on stage and the crowd around me screamed again.

Deron nodded one more time as Bam turned and walked off the stage, my eyes automatically following his ass.

'Okay! Bam Bam told me that two lucky people of his choosing get to go up to the loft and watch the show with him and the crew.' Deron explained as the crowd screamed again. 'Okay, I need these two ladies right in the front.'

My heart stopped for the second time that night. He was pointing right at Nora and I. Nora began screaming and jumping up and down.

'Novak will escourt you.' Deron said.

Not a minute later a shirtless Novak appeared on my right.

'Okay, come on babe.' He said taking my hand as I grabbed Nora's and pulled her along with us. His ass was completely out of his pants and it was evident he'd been drinking. He wrapped his arm around my neck and the other around Nora's as he led us towards the stairs. Escape From Hellview began to play as we reached the top. A large man let us up.

There was a large sectional couch with an even larger table in front of it that was covered in empty beer and shot glasses.

The guys were sitting at the table socializing. Bam was on one end doing something on his iPhone.

'Yo.' Novak said. Every head except Bam's looked up. 'This is...' Novak's face contorted into a look of confusion and I had to hold back my laughter.

'Nora and Addison.' Nora said pointing to herself and then me.

'Right.' Novak said. 'This is Frantz, Hanna, Jimmy Pop, Evil Jared, Mark the Bagger, Shitbirdz, Life Partner, and I'm the man of your dreams.'

Bam looked up when he heard his nickname and rolled his eyes.

'Novak, get your shitty ass off of them.' He said. 'I didn't invite them up here to fuck you.'

He stood up, pushed Novak to the ground and held out his hand to me. 'I'm Bam.'

'Addison.' I said shaking his hand and smiling.

'Ow Bam.' Novak said trying to get up. 'That was not nessacary.'

'Come on.' Bam said ignoring Novak and sitting back on the couch while all the guys moved down making room for Nora and I.

'I won't bite.' He said with a slight laugh and a smile patting the couch next to him. I glanced back at Nora and then sat next to him scooting close so Nora could fit.

'Are you hungry?' He asked.

I shook my head.

'Can I buy you another drink?'

So that's why the drinks had been on the house. I thought, before smiling and saying, 'Sure.'

'What do you want?' He asked pulling his phone back out.

'What are you getting?'

'A Rockstar.' He said.

'Me too.' I said with a smile.

'What's your friend want?'

I elbowed Nora and asked her what she wanted.

'Vitamin Water.'

Bam had heard her and began texting Seth.

'Seth's going to bring them up.' He said slipping his phone into his pocket once more.

Seth came up a moment later with the drinks and handed them out. He sat down and engaged Nora in conversation almost instantly and I had to smile at her. Bam was back on his phone and the other guys were having a drinking contest. Deciding to actually watch the show, I excused myself from the couch and went to the balcony.

BAM'S POV

For some fucking reason Ape kept calling me. She knew I was out tonight and that I couldn't hear a word she was saying to me. The whole point in these girls coming up here was beacause Seth thought Nora was hot and I thought the same about Addison. But I couldn't even talk to her when Ape kept calling.

I shut my phone off, slipped it in my pocket and looked to my left hoping to find her.

'Where's Addison?' I asked. No one answered. I glanced enviously at Seth and Nora having their own conversation. Looking around the loft, I saw her leaning against the balcony swaying her hips to Flesh Into Gear.

Smirking, I stood up and made my way towards her.

'Hey.' I said leaning next to her.

'Hey.' She said with that amazing smile.

'So...' I said trying to start casual conversation. 'Where are you from?'

'New Hampshire.' She said.

'Why the fuck did you come to West Chester?' I asked with a laugh.

She laughed too, which lightened the mood.

'Well?' I asked.

'Honestly?' She said. I nodded. 'To see you.' She looked out towards the stage and I could tell she was embaressed. I, on the other hand, was flattered.

'A fan girl...' I said with a cocky smile. 'That's cute.'

'What?' She asked surprised I had said that.

'Not many girls, fan or not, would drive eight hours just to catch a glimpse of me.' She bagan to smile again and I was liking the affect I had on her. 'And luck you...' I inched my way closer. 'You're getting so much more than a glimpse.'

She shyed away from my closeness with a giggle.

'You wanna come for a smoke with me?'

'Sure.' She said.

I took a risk and grabbed her hand pulling her towards the table full of idiots who were sill playing a drinking game.

'We'll be outside.' I said to Frantz. She walked close to my body as we walked down the stairs and through a door that said employees only, shutting out the noise behind us. I walked down the rest of the hallway and out the door that was normally meant for emergencies only.

Once outside, I reached into my jeans and pulled out my black lighter and pack of Marlboro Lights. I placed one between my lips and held the package out to her.

'I don't smoke.' She said.

'Sorry.' I said putting the pack away and lighting up. I took a long drag that instantly relaxed the nerves I had devleoped around this girl.

'Are you cold?' I asked noticing she was shaking in the early summer breeze.

'No.'

'You're fucking shaking.' I said with a slight laugh as I unzipped my hoodie. 'Here.'

'I'm fine.'

'Take it. Please?'

She nodded and slipped it on mumbling, 'Thanks.'

'How old are you?' I asked.

'18.'

'What!' I asked raising my eyebrows and flicking the head of my cigarette. 'I thought you were at least 21.'

She laughed. 'Nope. I just graduated last week.'

'Wow.' I took another drag. 'You going to college?'

'Yeah.'

'Where?'

'Penn State.'

Only three hours away... I smirked to myself.

'Where are you staying?' I asked.

'Aren't we just full of questions, Mr. Margera?' She asked playfully.

'First of all,' I said, playing back. 'Mr. Margera, is Phil. And secondly, I'm just curious. I assume you know all about me.'

'True.' She said still smiling. 'Nora and I have a room at the Holiday Inn up the steet.'

'Rad.' I said dropping the butt on the ground and rubbing it out with my shoe. 'You're close by. How long are you staying?'

She shrugged, thought for a minute, and then asked, 'Why?'

'I want to see you again.' I felt the heat rush to my face. 'I mean, let's hang out. I think Seth and Nora hit it off. And I'm having a party at my house tomorrow night.'

'I don't know...' She said. 'What about your wife?'

'We're getting a divorce. She moved back with her mom awhile ago.' I said trying to not dwell on the Missy subject. 'Just come. Please. I promise it'll be fun.'

I smiled, figuring it would encourage her.

'Fine.' She sighed.
