Chapter 7
"Jade,
wake up!"
Bam shook my shoulder.
"Bam, I'm sleeping."
I said rolling over and pulling the blanket up
to my neck.
"Jade, don't make me turn up the radio."
I yawned looked over at Bam.
"It's still dark out."
I said.
"I know, get up."
"Then get out."
I said getting up.
Bam backed out of my room as I
changed out of my black slip and into jeans and a black spaghetti strap top.I put on my black sneakers and pulled my hair
into a pony tail.
"So any reason you had to wake me up at 5 in the morning?" I asked slipping on my watch and crucifix.I
pulled on my camo jacket and shut the lights off.
'Well that who dating marathon starts today." Bam answered as I
shut my door and we headed down stairs.
"Yeah, so?" I asked yawning again. "Oh wait I know. You want to win so bad
that you're going to annoy me all week until I get fed up and chose you."
"Hell no...yes."
I laughed. "Bam
what are you so worried about? I'm 21, I'm old enough to drive, vote, and drink."
"Yeah but your still my little sister.
Who's up first?"
"Raab." I said.
"What are you goin do, drink for the next 48 hours?"
"Not funny,
Bam." Raab said walking in.
"Bye Bam, see ya in 48 hours." I said. Raab put his hand out and i took it.
"So
uh where do you want to go?" Raab ask leading me to his car.
"Where ever you want to take me. I'm yours for 48 hours."
I said getting in. He got in and looked over at me.
I laughed. "What?"
"You have Bam's eyes. I mean they're
brown but they're Bam's eyes."
I wiped a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Yeah right."
He got closer
and looked straight into my eyes. "You're so beautiful"
"Raab, we have known each other since I was like 5 and you
where 7. Your practically my brother. Seriously, I mean we grew up together."
"So, what. Does it matter?"
"Raab,
as much as I like you. It's too weird for me. So I can tell you now it probably won't be you I choose."
"It's Dico
isn't it?"
"This has nothing to do with Dico. "
"Then why won't you give this a chance?"
I shrugged.
"I'm just not..."
"You know what, never mind. Theres a Linkin Park concert in Philly, you want to go to that?"
"Oh
shit I forgot they where playing. Hell yes I want to go."
"Okay then" The drive down way really boring. A lot of looking
out the window, listening to Cd's, and hoping to heaven Raab didn't crash.
"Why did I let you drive?" I remarked when
we got there.
"What, it's not like Bam Dico or Dunn drive any better."
I rolled my eyes then ducked. We had
been spotted.
"Oh my Gd! Jade Margera." I heard someone say.
"This is a ditch and run moment." Raab said.
"No, this is find the security guard moment." I said trying to back away from the crowd. one of them must have heard
me cause next thing I know we have a cleared path into the VIP section.
Raab spent the whole concert drinking. He
was just lining the bottles up there must have been 17 or 18 bottles by the time we left.
I had 4 and I felt wasted.
Most people would find that a little weird considering my last name is Margera and when you look at my brothers, 4 beers sounds
a little low. Really I hate drinking.
I hate the taste of any beer except Budweiser. Yeah that's the only thing i
inherited from Vito, I'm a Bud drinker. So yeah every now and then I'll join in on the guys drinking game, and I'll drink
a few at night if me, Bam and the guys are just hanging out. But if we go to bars the most I'll have is 2 and normally not
even that.
So watching Raab get wasted drunk made me think. If I did choose him and by some divine miracle I fell
in love with him and we ended up 'together' what it would be like.
Would I be able to get him off the bottle? I doubt
it, even Dunn admits Raab has a problem with drinking and we can't do shit.
So driving Raab to a motel that night
I knew I wouldn't pick Raab as the winner of this sick game. It was starting to look more and more like Bam was goin win.
I got Raab into the motel room and he fell onto the floor in a drunken sleep.I figured I'd just leave him there, maybe
put a pile of dog shit on his face the next morning. I took my shoes and jacket off and laid on the bed.
Next time
I book a room with Bam's credit card it won't be no third rate motel room that only cost 80 bucks. It was hard to fall asleep
that night, about seven times I woke up and thought about calling Bam to come and get us, twice I got as far as one ring.
But I knew I didn't want to talk to my brother that night. Finally I fell into a light sleep and got about six hours
in before I woke up to Raab puking the next morning.
"How's it going in there?" I called.
"Shut the hell up!"
He yelled back.
He walked in.He looked horrible and I felt bad for him.
"I guess this means we go home."
I said getting up and putting my shoes on. I tied my jacket around my waist.
Bam was waiting when I got us both home.
"Where the hell where you last night?"
"Jeez Bam what's with the 4-1-1." Raab spurred.
Bam looked at me then
at Raab.
"He's hung over. Raab get your ass up stairs." Raab fumbled up the stairs.
I shook my head and started
after him. "Bam don't worry so much, jeez I am 21 after all."
I got into my room and collapsed again on my bed determined
to sleep the rest of the day. Around 3 in the afternoon Bam dragged me out of bed, handed me my skateboard, and sent me to
the ramp.
"Come on Bam can't I just fucking sleep." I bitched walking up the ramp.
"You've sleeping all fucking
day." he bitched back.
"Go to fucking hell."
"Shut the fuck up!"
"Fuck you." I said flipping Bam off
"Fuck you." He shot back flipping me off.
I threw my skateboard down and started to walk back to the house.
Bam ran up and tackled me to the ground.
"Get the fuck off me." I said.
Bam moved his hand towards my ribs
and started tickling me.
"Goddammit Bam I'm ticklish stop it!" I yelled trying not to laugh.
"Good." he said
"Are we cool?"
"Yes"
"Good you can carry me to my room now."
Bam picked me up and carried
me inside. I laughed as he went up to my room and put me on my bed.
"Goddamn your heavy."
I laughed.
"2
more hours, I can't promise anything after that." said Bam laughing as he got up.
I laughed closing my eyes again.
"Bam your a fucked up jackass of a brother, but your a good brother just the same."
"Aww, you better hope
that for both of our sakes the camera didn't catch that."
I laughed. "Bye Bam"
"Bye Jade."
