vampires will never hurt you

Hi all! sorry about the long wait for this but i've been working really hard on it so i can start focusing on my huge list of plot ideas that karin keeps adding to!!!

dedicated as usual for the love of my life, karin who is the main reason that i'm still writing and not banging my head against the wall trying to get the plot bunnies out!!!!


Bam woke up a couple of times in the night from moving around in his sleep and aggravating his tattoo and each time, Ville was awake and handing him painkillers and water the second he opened his eyes. It made him smile at how much Ville was taking care of him and how different he was from when they'd first met.

He finally managed to sleep solidly for a few hours and he managed to wake up at midday completely refreshed and feeling a lot better. He tried to get up but Ville's strong arms wrapped around him and pulled him back onto the bed.

"Ville, stop it." Bam chuckled. "I've got to go home. My brothers coming over for a visit today and I don't want to miss him."

"What, no kiss good morning?!" Ville laughed teasingly and Bam had to laugh at the deja vu.

"Oh alright!" He smiled, turning to face his lover. "I mean, we are dating and we are a couple."

"You need to understand that at some point." Ville finished mockingly.

"Do you remember all our moments like that?" Bam asked, pressing their foreheads together.

"Most of them." Ville admitted. "You're just too cute to forget, even when you're angry and in denial!"

Bam stuck out his tongue childishly before placing a kiss on Ville's lips and getting out of bed, pulling his clothes on quickly.

"Don't go." Ville pouted. "I wanted to play."

"I have to go and see my brother. We can play whatever you like when I see you tonight, I promise." Bam replied with a lustful smirk.

"Well in that case meet me at the main gates at the far end of the cemetary tonight instead of me coming to get you." Ville grinned.

"Are you gonna tell me why?"

"I will tonight. Just get your cute ass there by nine."

Bam agreed and left the cemetary, a bubble of excitement and curiosity already making itself known. He slipped quietly into the house, noticing his brother already in the kitchen talking to their parents.

Running upstairs, he quickly showered and changed his clothes, gently cleaning his tattoo and re covering it before going back downstairs to announce his presence.

"Hey bro." He greeted happily, avoiding eye contact with his parents.

"Hey Bam, what's up dude?" Jess embraced his younger brother before stepping back and finally noticing the tension that now filled the room.

"Where were you all night Brandon?" Ape asked, her voice strained.

"Why do you care?" Bam spat, glaring at them.

"We care because we're your parents Bam, we want to know you're safe." Phil said gently, trying to placate him.

"You should have thought about that before then. It's your fault I'm leaving all the time, so deal with it. You got what you wanted and you didn't care about me then so don't pretend to give a fuck now."

"Uh, does someone want to fill me in on what's going on?" Jess asked, confused.

"Bam's seeing someone that we don't approve of and we told them to stay away from each other so now he's sneaking off all the time and staying out all night." Ape explained tearfully.

"Well, what's so bad about them?"

Bam swallowed hard, fearing his brothers reaction but knowing that if he didn't tell him then their parents would.

"It's because....because it's a guy." Bam said in a rush, keeping his eyes on the floor.

"You're dating a guy?"

Bam couldn't tell if the tone in Jess's voice was disgust or just shock but either way it made tears prick angrily behind his eyelids and he couldn't bring himself to look at his brothers face so instead he just nodded silently.

"How long have you been gay?"

His head shot up at his brothers question, eyes wide with shock. "I'm not gay. I'm not attracted to guys, just him for some reason."

There was a long moment where nobody spoke, then Bam's slightly choked voice broke the silence again. "Do you hate me?"

"What? Why would I hate you?" Jess seemed genuinely suprised at the question and for some reason Bam felt slightly embarrassed for asking.

"Because you and your friends always said how gross it was and stuff. I don't want you to hate me or be embarrassed by me because I'm dating a guy."

"Bam, you're my brother, as long as you're happy then I don't care."

Bam smiled gratefully at him. "At least someone here cares about my happiness rather than the gender of the person I'm seeing."

"Brandon, that's not fair, it doesn't bother us that he's male, it's just the age difference." Ape argued, flustered.

"Bullshit." Bam shouted angrily. "There is no big age gap, he's 19 for fucks sake. He's done nothing but be helpful and polite to you and you thought he was wonderful until you found out we were together and now you're acting like he's the devil incarnate. He was right, the only reason you don't want us together is because you can't stand to see one of your sons with another man. I can't believe how fucking narrow minded you are."

He stormed angrily out of the house and sat on the edge of the pool, removing his shoes and dangling his feet in the cool water. He could hear them talking angrily in the house but he couldn't hear what they were saying. About 5 minutes later he heard the sound of the door opening and footsteps coming towards him. They stopped when they reached the pool edge and Jess sat down beside him.

"Hey, you ok?" He said softly, nudging Bam's shoulder with his own.

Bam just shook his head, the lump stick in his throat making it hard for him to express himself. "I'm losing my family because I'm with him, but I can't let him go."

"If it helps, you've still got me."

"Thanks dude." Bam sighed, leaning against his brother in an attempt at a manly hug. They stayed that way for a few moments before Jess decided that the whole day was getting too emotional.

"So, do you think he's 'The One'?" Jess asked laughingly, sighing dramatically like a damsel from an old movie, causing Bam to laugh and shove him gently.

He blushed, turning serious again. "At the risk of sounding like a total chick, yeah I think he is. It took me a long while to realize it but I love him so much, I mean we've even got matching tattoo's for fucks sake." He laughed before his mouth dropped open in realization.

"Please don't tell Ape and Phil, they already hate him, I don't want to make things worse."

"I won't tell." Jess promised. "What did you get?"

Bam grinned, proudly showed off his tattoo.

"Woah, I'm impressed you had the guts to get it done at your age. Did it hurt?"

"It hurt so bad." Bam admitted. "But Ville was really great to me and he carried me back to his cause it hurt to walk and he stayed awake all night to get me painkillers whenever it hurt too much."

"Looks like he's looking after you then, I don't have to kick his ass for hurting my brother."

"Oh please, you couldn't kick your own ass let alone Ville's!" Bam joked, his sides aching from laughing so hard.

Thinking he was being subtle, Jess attempted to push Bam into the pool but his younger brother was too quick for him and he took off running, still laughing hysterically. They spent the whole day like that, playing about and hanging out like they used to when they were younger.

At 8.30, Bam said goodbye to Jess and arranged to meet up again away from their parents. He left the property without going back into the house, not wanting to have another argument with his parents. He walked almost lazily to the cemetary and when he got there a few minutes early, Ville was already standing at the gate waiting patiently for him.

"Did you have a good day with your brother, baby?" Ville asked, pulling him into a hug.

"Yeah I did. I had another row with Ape and Phil about us but Jess is cool with it and we hung out all day. It was great, I've missed spending time with him."

"I'm sorry about your parents darling, I wish they weren't so ignorant because I hate how much it hurts you."

"It's ok, I can deal with it as long as I'm defending us for a good reason- as long we'll still be together after I lose them."

"I told you, I'm with you forever." Ville said sincerely, cupping Bam's face in his hands.

Talking quietly so he wouldn't ruin the mood, Bam asked "So, why'd you ask me to meet you here anyway?"

Ville stepped back, a dark seductive smirk on his delicate features. "I told you, I want to play a game."

"Ok, what are we playing?" Bam asked, humoring his boyfriend.

"It's simple, I'm gonna give you a 20 scond head start and you've got to try and get to my crypt without me finding and catching you."

"Uh, ok." Bam agreed slowly. He had to admit that when Ville had said he wanted to play, he had pictured something completely different but if it made Ville happy, he'd go along with it.

"What do I get if I win?" He asked teasingly.

"Whatever you want sweetheart."

"Ok so what do you get if you win?"

"I'm keeping that a secret for now." Ville grinned. "So, are you ready?"

"Yeah, no cheating though."

Once Ville had closed his eyes, Bam started to move, winding his way through rows of tombstones and crypts. It was dark by this time and the large slabs of stone looked even more unnerving in the faint moonlight. He heard the faint sounds of something moving near him and his heartbeat sped up as adrenaline pumped through his body. Moving quicker, Bam tried to find his way to Ville's crypt. He knew he was being hunted, that he was the prey that Ville's inner demon was intent on capturing and, if he was honest with himself, it excited him. Maybe Ville's game wasn't as innocent and childish as he'd thought.

The noises came closer and Bam ducked behind a crypt, trying to breathe quietly so Ville wouldn't hear him. Glancing around the corner he was suprised to find no one there. He waited a few minutes to make sure Ville wasn't hiding there, before creeping away from the crypt, only to find someone wrap an arm around his waist from behind while the other arm covered his mouth preventing him from voicing his shock. He was uncerimoniously slammed against the crypt wall and pinned there by Ville who's vampiric face was now only inches from his own.

"I win." Ville whispered huskily, letting his face change back to his human guise.

"Yeah I guess so." Bam whispered back. "What do you win?"

"My prize is getting to fuck the most gorgeous human I've ever seen against this crypt."

Deciding to be a tease, Bam wriggled out of Ville's grasp. "I'd better go before they turn up then." He pushed past Ville, pretending he was going to walk away but his arm was caught in a strong grasp and once again he found himself thrown against the crypt and Ville's face once again demonic.

"You're not going anywhere." He growled. Any other time, Bam would have been scared but he knew Ville was just playing along with their little game so instead, he tilted his head and forward and pressed their lips together, letting his tongue explore the hot cavern of Ville's mouth. Gathering up his courage, he tentively ran his tongue over the tip of one of Ville's fangs and was pleasently suprised when it caused a shiver and a lustful moan from the older man. Encouraged by his success, Bam wrapped his tongue around the same fang and sucked on it hard causing Ville to tear their mouths apart with a gasp.

"Bam, stop that." He demanded weakly.

"Why? Am I doing something wrong?"

"No, but if you keep doing that I'll end up cumming without even being inside you."

Smirking, Bam began to undo Ville's jeans. "Better get these off then, cause I want you cumming on me, not in your jeans when I get you off just using my mouth on your fangs."

Any protests that Ville would have made were swallowed up when Bam captured his lips again, his wicked tongue doing incredible things to his sensitive teeth. It didn't take long until Ville was incapable of anything other than panting and moaning wantonly into Bam's mouth and clutching the boys hips in an effort not to touch himself and ruin Bam's delightful experiment.

Suddenly Bam pressed his tongue hard against the tip of his fangs so that they pierced it and at the first taste of his lovers sweet blood, Ville came, screaming his release.

Feeling rather pleased with himself, Bam leant back against the wall, a smirk on his face. "Huh, I guess your fangs really are sensitive." He said innocently, wiping absently at his cum covered chest and feeling thankful that he's had the presence of mind to remove his shirt before they'd begun.

Grinning wickedly, Ville pulled a familiar tube out of his jacket pocket before shedding the rest of his clothes. "You've had your fun sweetheart, now it's my turn."

Bam looked at him, his eyes wide. "You can't have recovered already, it's only been two minutes."

"One of the perks of being a vampire darling, well that and not having to breathe!" Ville smirked and Bam blushed as he realized the implication of Ville's words.

Ville watched as Bam's expression went from slightly embarrassed to a lustful smirk that would have put most vampires to shame.

"Well, now that I know that, you've got no excuse whenever I want you to fuck me senseless." He grinned, pulling Ville against him and guiding the vampires hands to his belt buckle.

"You've gotten confident all of a sudden." Ville smiled as he started to undo Bam's pants. "Not that that's a bad thing of course."

"Yeah well, I've spent a lot of time thinking about everything after my argument with my parents and I worked out that I obviously love you if I'm willing to put up with the amount of pain that my parents are putting me through. I also realized that I've taken a really long time to accept that I love you and I'm sorry for that but I think I'm ready now, so I don't need to be embarrassed or nervous about us."

"It's about time darling!" Ville smirked, finally winning his battle with the evil jeans and finally pulling them down his lovers tanned legs.

Bam stepped out of his shoes and jeans, shivering slightly as the cool night air hit his skin. It felt so wrong, knowing that he was about to have sex outside in the middle of a resting place for the dead, but he had his own dead person that wasn't so restful and wasn't about to let him have second thoughts.

Sliding his hands down Bam's body, Ville let his hands rest on his boyfriend's hips for a moment before sliding down to strong thighs and pushing them apart. Opening the lube, Ville coated his fingers and started to gently prepare Bam's body for what was to come, distracting him with passionate kisses and teasing bites to his neck and throat.

Removing his fingers from the beautiful body in front of him, Ville grinned as Bam whimpered in disappointment.

"Don't worry sweetheart, I'm gonna be back inside you in a few seconds, I promise." He cooed, as he slid his hands behind Bam and lifted him up.

Wrapping his legs round Ville's waist, Bam slowly lowered himself onto the vampire's aching erection, taking deep breaths as pain shot through him.

"Does this ever get any less painful?" He asked through gritted teeth.

"Patience darling, it's only your second time, it's something you have to get used to."

"Yeah well, you should know by now that I'm no good at being patient, especially when I know that I'm waiting for something good!"

Ville chuckled as he started to move, gently at first but putting a little more force behind his thrusts as he felt Bam relax around him.

"Oh god." Bam moaned as Ville hit his prostate dead on. "How did I go so long without this?"

"Think of it this way." Ville panted out. "We've got plenty of time to make up for the time you missed out."

Bam would have made some sort of response if his brain hadn't shut down on him. Shutting his eyes, he let his head fall forwards onto Ville's shoulder, placing biting kisses down his neck. His world had narrowed down to the feeling of the rough stone behind him, the cool air carressing his skin and the wonderful feeling of having Ville inside him touching him, fucking him, loving him.

Reaching down between their bodies, he grasped his erection and started stroking it roughly in time with Ville's thrusts, knowing that he wouldn't last much longer. He was well aware that he was going to have scratches down his back from the stone wall he was being pounded against but for some reason that only made the situation even more erotic.

He felt Ville slide a hand down to join his on his throbbing cock and his lovers cool touch was his undoing. Arching his back in ecstasy, he screamed Ville's name into the darkness as he came.

"God Ville, I love you so much." He said dreamily and the combination of his words and the feeling of Bam's strong inner muscles squeezing around his length made Ville cum harder than he ever had before.

Ville finally regained enough focus to put Bam back on the ground and he stood happily watching the young teenager still leaning heavily against the crypt.

"Did you mean it?"

It didn't take long for Bam to work out what Ville meant and it was then that he realized that he'd never actually told Ville he loved him before.

"Of course I meant it." He replied gently.

"Say it again?" Ville begged, and the look of hope and amazement on his delicate face broke Bam's heart and warmed it at the same time.

Pulling Ville close to him again, Bam placed a kiss on Ville's left shoulder. "I love you." He moved up to Ville's lips and kissed them softly. "I love you." Another kiss, just under his right ear and then Bam's hot mouth was pressed against the shell of his ear and a whispered "I love you." was breathed into it.

Ville could have cried at the gentleness of it all but instead he pulled his lover back to him to press their lips together, their tongues doing a seductive dance with each other until they had to pull away for Bam to breathe.

A sudden blast of cold wind hit them and Bam shivered, prompting Ville to pick up their clothes and guide him back to his home. They didn't share any more words until they were both curled up comfortably in Ville's big, soft bed- there was no need for them.

"Can I stay here all weekend?" Bam whispered softly, sleep beginning to claim him.

"You could stay forever if you wanted to baby." Ville replied just as sleepily and both men drifted off with smiles on their faces.

The weekend flew by almost without them noticing it, mainly because every time Bam made an effort to leave the bed and actually do something, Ville would do something to him that made him wonder why he'd wanted to move in the first place.

By the time monday rolled around, Ville was almost exhausted and Bam was wondering whether he'd ever be able to sit down again. He was finally able to leave the bed, only because Ville wanted to plan their anniversary evening and Bam wanted to go home, shower and finally change out of the clothes he'd been wearing all weekend.

They shared a lingering kiss, just inside the door of the crypt and Ville promised to be at Bam's house by 9pm at the latest if Bam promised to wear the red silk shirt and tight black jeans again. Bam agreed, laughingly before heading home.

He made it home, the slight burning pain in his ass slightly annoying but not enough to really bother him. He shut the front door quietly and was about to head upstairs when he heard his name but it took him a few seconds to realize that they were talking about him and they didn't actually know he was home. Creeping quietly towards the kitchen, he hid out of the way and listened to what they were saying.

"Maybe we can call the police about it."

"And tell them what? That our son's dating someone we don't approve of? What do you expect them to do?"

"I don't know Phil but we have to do something, it's disgusting. Our little boy is sleeping with another man, we won't get to see him marry a nice girl like Melissa and he won't give us any grandchildren. I don't like that boy anyway, there's something off about him."

"I hate to say it but I think we're gonna have to let him make his own decision on this. He's probably only continuing with it because we don't want him to so if we back off and let him think we're ok with it, he might realize that this isn't really what he wants and he'll stop his experimenting phase that he's going through."

Bam stormed through the doorway, his heart pounding and fury rushing throughout his body. "How dare you fucking talk about me like that behind my back. I knew you had a problem with me being with a man but you never had enough guts to say it to my face. You make me sick and I never want to see either of you again."

He ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs to his room, hearing his parents following him. He slammed the door shut behind him and locked it, going into the bathroom and turning on the shower so he could clean himself of the weekends activities and so he wouldn't have to hear his parents pleading with him to let them in.

When he got out of the shower and finally went back into his room, there was silence from the other side of the door, something he was grateful for as he wasn't sure how long he'd be able to control his emotions. He put on the outfit he'd promised Ville he'd wear and then pulled out a large duffel bag from his wardrobe. With tears in his eyes, he started putting all his belongings that were important to him into it, deciding to leave his clothes in his room and just buy a new, more gothic, wardrobe.

He spent the rest of the day sitting on his bed staring blankly at the wall, so many thoughts rushing round his head that it confused him and gave him a headache from trying so hard not to cry. Finally, it was dark enough for him to leave so he picked up his bag and his skateboard and headed down the stairs. The moment he reached the front door, he was ambushed by his parents both talking at once as they tried to fill his mind with fake apologies and reassurances.

Suddenly Ape noticed the bag and her face grew pale. "Bam, honey, why do you have a bag?"

"I told you." Bam said coldly. "I don't wanna see either of you again. I'm moving in with Ville."

Tears started falling down Ape's face as they both tried to protest and Bam felt a small twinge of guilt but he remembered how they'd both said how digusting they thought his lifestyle was and he remained strong with his decision.

"Stop it." He demanded. "What did you expect? You pushed me away and made me feel like I didn't matter when I needed your support. You have no idea what I've been through with this and you don't even care about me enough to put aside your homophobia so I can be happy. We have nothing to say to each other any more, I can't even stand to be in the same room as you."

He walked out the door, closing it in their faces as they tried to follow him. He practically ran to the cemetary, needing to feel Ville's arms around him comforting him but when he arrived at the crypt he found it empty. Sighing disappointedly, he put his bag down on the bed and laid down next to it, breathing in Ville's scent. He managed to drift off for a while and when he woke, his watch told him that it was 8.30.

Suprised that Ville hadn't come back, Bam decided to walk through the cemetary and towards his house to see if he could catch Ville on his way to pick him up. Lost in his thoughts, he almost didn't hear the noisy fight going on over by one of the larger mausoleums. He wandered curiously over to see what was going on and gasped in shock when he saw Ville surrounded by a group of people that he assumed were the vampire hunters Ville ahd told him about, all holding stakes and crosses, obviously intent on killing him.

He wasn't even aware that he was moving until he'd reached Ville's side, pushing some guy out of the way in his haste to reach his boyfriend.

"Bam, get the hell out of here sweetheart." Ville said desperately, not wanting the love of his life to be there when he was killed.

"What? No way, I'm not leaving you. We'll get out of this together." Bam replied back, his voice steady although Ville could sense his fear.

The guy that Bam had pushed to the ground, finally got up and Ville heard Bam gasp in shock. "Jess?"

The two brothers were just staring at each other in horrified shock, neither one able to move or look away.

"What the hell are you doing?" Jess choked out finally. "He's a vampire."

"He's my boyfriend." Bam replied. "That's all that matters."

Ville glanced away from the mob for just a second but that was all it took. One of the guys took the chance and lunged at him, but Bam had noticed what he was doing.

His body went cold with terror and without even thinking, he threw himself in front of his lover. Ville, Bam and Jess screamed simultaniously as the wooden stake pierced through Bam's chest and he fell to the floor in agony.

"You fucking asshole." Jess screamed angrily, tears pouring down his face. "That's my brother, he was human, you bastard."

The group of hunters stood silently in shock as they tried to take in what had happened.

"Get the hell out of here, I'll deal with it." Jess demanded, and the men fled, happy to be free of the situation. He turned and tried to pick Bam up but Ville stopped him by flashing his demonic face at him and growling dangerously.

"We need to get him to a hospital, we can't just stay here." Jess pleaded, begging the demon not to let his brother die.

"It's too late." Ville said quietly. "He's dying and he'd never make it to the hospital in time, I can barely hear his heartbeat now."

Bam's eyes fluttered open slightly as he looked up at his lover and his brother. "Did we win? They didn't hurt you did they Ville?"

"They didn't hurt me baby." Ville choked out over the lump in his throat. "You shouldn't have done that though, I've killed people, I deserve to be killed in return, you don't."

"I'm gonna die aren't I?" Bam asked, realization hitting.

Ville only nodded silently broken sobs racking his body as blood tears streamed down his face. "I'm sorry baby, I'm so sorry I couldn't save you."

"It's ok. I'm glad I could save you, I love you so much Ville." Anything else Bam might have said was forgotten as he doubled up in pain, choking and coughing, blood spilling from his mouth.

"Turn him." Jess said suddenly, hardly able to form words through the floods of tears. "You can't let him die like this. Turn him so he can live."

With the tiniest amount of hope flickering in his eyes, Ville turned to Bam's almost lifeless form in his embrace. "Bam, sweetheart, your brothers right, I could turn you so we can be together for always just like I said but I'll only do it with your permission."

"I don't know." Bam said weakly. "I want to be with you and I don't want to die but I don't want to be evil either."

"You don't have to be, there's more than one way of turning someone, despite what people think. If you drink my blood before I drink yours, it mixes in and once you're turned you retain pretty much all of your former traits and personality." Ville relayed quickly, desperate for Bam to agree before it was too late.

Bam nodded his consent, too weak to actually talk now, and Ville wasted no time in piercing his own wrist with his fangs and pressing the bloody wound against Bam's lips. He let his blood drip into Bam's mouth, encouraging Bam to swallow it, until he felt he had enough then, brushing a gentle kiss on Bam's lips, he bit down on his neck, draining the boy of his life's blood.

He finally pulled away, looking down at the lifeless body of his lover, shutting the expressionless blue eyes gently with his finger. Picking him up, Ville stood and motioned Jess to come with him as he made his way silently back to his crypt.

Jess looked uncomfortable being inside Ville's temporary home but he remained silent and took a seat to wait after Ville told him that Bam would wake within a couple of hours. Neither of them had anything to say to the other so they both sat in silence grieving for the loss of the wonderful boy they'd known, both knowing that it would be completely different now that Bam was no longer human.

It seemed like forever but finally they heard movement from the back of the crypt and they both raced to see if he was ok. Bam was sitting on the edge of the bed when they got there, looking around as though he was seeing things for the first time.

"Dude, does your heart always beat that fucking loudly?" Was the first thing Bam said as Jess grabbed him in a tight hug, and Jess laughed, relieved that Bam didn't seem to have changed that much.

Suddenly Bam pulled away. "Ville?" He called out, sounding a lot liken a little child searching for it's parents.

"I'm here baby." Ville soothed, sitting on the bed next to Bam and wrapping his arms round him. "I'm not going anywhere, not ever."

"Ville, can I move in with you?" Bam asked shyly. "I heard my parents talking about me and saying how disgusting they thought it was that I'm with a guy and I packed all my stuff and left."

"Of course you can darling but I think we'd be better if we left town and went somewhere else. I know it'll be hard for you to leave your friends but someone's gonna notice something's different with you and they're going to wonder why you're not in school any more and why you can't meet them during the day."

"I...I hadn't thought of that." Bam whispered sadly. "I'm gonna have to leave everyone behind."

"I don't want to see you go Bam but your boyfriend's right. You're both safer if you leave WestChester." Jess pointed out.

"Hey, it means we can travel." Ville said, trying to cheer Bam up a bit. "We'll get a big map of the world and you can point to anywhere you wanna go in the entire world and we'll go there. Then once we've been to enough places, we can pick our favourite and get a house there."

Bam smiled as he thought of all the places he and Ville could explore together now that they had eternity to do so. "Ok." He said finally. "When do we leave?"

"Whenever you want, sweetheart. I'll give you as long as you want to say goodbye to your friends before we leave."

"I want to leave tonight. I'll just write notes and leave them for my friends to say goodbye because if I wait or go and see them then I might change my mind and it'll be harder for me to leave. So let me just write my letters and we can go. I'll post them on our way out of town."

"Are you sure baby?"

"Bam, don't go now. Please just wait a day or two."

Both Ville and Jess spoke at once but Bam stopped their protests by raising his voice to talk over them. "I have to leave tonight or I won't ever be able to and we all know that it's too dangerous for me and Ville to stay here."

He quickly wrote out notes to Missy and his friends, and even one to his parents after much consideration and put them in envelopes, trying not to let himself think about what he was doing. He grabbed his bag, noticing that Ville had gotten his belongings together as well. They walked out of the cemetary and onto the street where Ville had parked his stolen car.

Ville gently took Bam's bag from him and put it in the trunk with his own, before getting in the car to let Bam say goodbye to his brother in private.

The Margera family had never been the type of family to hug but now the two brothers clung to each other as though they were losing their best friend and Bam vaguely realized that he was crying blood red tears just like Ville. They finally let go and Jess promised to deliver the notes that Bam had written, and that they would still keep in touch and meet up as often as they could.

Not wanting to make a big scene, Bam gave Jess one last hug and got into the car, thankful when Ville pulled away from the curb without hesitation or asking him if he was sure. Turning in his seat, he watched as his brother and WestChester faded away from view, before turning back and glancing at Ville.

"I guess this is it huh?" He said, his voice hoarse from the pain of leaving the people he cared for.

Ville's hand reached over and entwined their fingers together. "It'll be alright Bammie, I promise. You'll always have me."

And as Bam settled back in his seat and watched the scenery fly past, he realized that Ville was right. No matter what happened, they'd always have each other.
