Viva La Jade
By punk_of_a_tomboy
Chapter 10
I
opened my eyes. Why the hell was the ceiling white? Why did my body ache so bad? What the hell happened?
"Bam, she's
awake!" I heard Jess's voice.
Bam was beside me in an instant. He grasped my hand as I tried to sit up.
"Easy,
easy Jade." He told me.
I looked around the room.
"What the fuck am I doing here?" I asked.
The memories
came flooding back just then. the highway, a truck, broken glass, the car flipping, my screams, Dico's shallow breathing.
"You and Dico were in a car accident." Bam told me.
I looked over at him. His eyes were red. He'd been crying.
Fear struck me.
"Where is Bran?" I asked.
"Jade I'm so sorry. I'm so fuckin sorry.Dico died." Bam
told me.
I felt my breathing stop, time just stopped for a brief second everything disappeared. But it came crashing
back.
"NO!" I screamed.
Tears trickled down my cheeks.
"No, no, no." I said again.
"Jade,
it's okay. It's okay." Bam told me.
He pulled me into a hug.
I sobbed into his shoulder.
"Dico can't
be dead. He can't be."
"I know I know. We are all gonna miss him. I'm gonna miss him so much." Bam told me.
I
pulled back and looked into Bam's eyes. Icy, cold, pain. I put my head back on his shoulder, feeling empty.
The emptiness
stayed for the rest of the day and the next. It was more a blur then anything else. Bam never left my side.
I didn't
mind, I didn't want to be away from him ethier. I knew Bam was scared I fall back into depression, I was scared too.
Dico's
funeral was three days later. I was standing between Bam and Dunn. Jess was on the other side of Bam with Rake at his other
side.
Raab was on the other side of Dunn and Glomb on his other side. Tears streamed freely down my cheeks as i watched
the casket lowered into the ground.
I looked at the guys, standing wearing black tuxes, something very rare for all
of them. Dunn Glomb and Bam had their arms crossed, Rake Raab and Jess had their heads down.
"This isn't happening."
Dunn whispered to himself.
"This is pure bullshit, it's a joke, it must be. He's gonna jump out of that casket and
laugh at us any minute now." Raab said.
"I wish, i wish we were on punked or something." Rake said.
"Why Dico?
He was the last one of us I figured to go. I can't believe he went first." Glomb said.
"I miss him. I miss his goofy
grin. I miss how he used to play Mortal Kombat every morning." Jess whispered.
"Rest in peace, Dico. Rest in
peace." Was all Bam could muster.
It started to rain as I stepped forward. I had my black sneakers on, but they were
hidden by the hem of the long strapless black dress I wore.
I had my hair braided back, leaving only my dark bangs
to frame my forehead. My bangs fell away from my brown eyes rimmed and full with tears.
I began to shiver, even under
the heavy black jacket i had on. i looked at the headstone.
"Brandon Ralph DiCamillo
November 15, 1977- March 14, 2005."
"I love you, Bran. Goodbye."
i whispered.
I dropped the flower I was holding onto the ground. A single black rose. Bam and Jess stepped forward,
taking my hands gently.
"Jade, are you ready?' Jess asked.
I nodded.
"Let's go." Bam said.
I
glanced back one more time and followed my older brothers to the hummer.
~*~
One month later....
"Jade are you okay in there?!" Bam asked knocking on the bathroom
door. I threw up again, and again, and again.
"Bam, tell Jade the doc is on her phone." Jess called coming down the
hall carrying my cell phone. He handed it to Bam.
"Jade did you hear that?!" Bam asked.
I opened the door
and took the phone.
"Jade Margera?" he asked
"Yeah, please tell me it's just the flu."
"Your pregnant."
I dropped the phone. Bam and Jess looked at each other, then at me.
"Your what?!" They said together.
"I'm
gonna be sick again."
I slammed the door and ran back inside. This time my brothers opened the door. Bam and Jess
rubbed my back as i threw up.
"It's Dico's baby?" Jess asked.
"It has to be." I said.
They helped
me up out of the bathroom and over to the couch.
"I guess he didn't leave us after all." Bam said.
I had to
laugh, for the first time since Dico's death i felt
happy.
~*~
8 months later....
"I'm gonna kill him!"
I screamed feeling another contraction
rip threw my body. I was squeezing Bam and Jess's hands so hard I could hear bones crack
"Ow Dico is lucky he's already
dead." Jess whimpered trying to pry his hand out of my grasp.
"Yeah, too bad we aren't." Bam said trying to get his
hand free.
"Ahh!" I screamed.
"Jade, Jade look at me." Ape said.
She was also with me. Kelly and Jenn
had come in for a few mintues. But i had been here all night and the contractions we getting worse by the time they had
showed
up so i didn't realize they had come an' gone.
Kelly had given birth to Ava, 3 months ago and Jenn had just found
out she was pregnant with hers and Bam's first child.
"Jade, come on i did this three times you can do this. Kelly
did it Jenn will do it. You have to do it." Ape reassured me.
"It hurts, Mom." i cried.
"I know Jay-Jay i
know. Shh. Just one more push." Ape stroked my hair.
"Mom make her push she's breaking my hand." Bam winced.
"Come
on, i can't take anymore of this." Jess said.
I closed my eyes screamed and pushed.
"It's a boy." Ape said
"Jade you have a son." Jess said
"You gave Jess and me a nephew." Bam said.
I let go of there hands
and took a deep breath.
"I wanta see my lil sk8er boi." I said wiping away a few tears.
Ape handed him too
me. I took him in my arms and looked at him.
"He looks like Bam." I said
"No really?" Bam asked.
He
and Jess laughed.
"I think he's got your eyes." Ape said.
"Nah. He has Dico's eyes." I said.
"What's
his name?" Jess asked.
"Cole. I haven't thought of a middle name yet." I said.
"He's so beautiful." Kelly
said. She and Jenn came back into the room.
"Yeah he is. um I'm gonna go get Phil and Vito they
want to see him."
Jenn said. She and Kelly went back out. Phil and Vito came in a few minutes later.
"He looks like Bam." Phil said.
"That's what i said, Dad. His name is Cole."
"Cole? Don't do that, he'll turn into a no brain skater like
Bam."
"There is a problem with that, why?" I asked.
"Well there's enough skaters. Don't need another one."
"Vito, your scaring the baby." Bam said punching Vito.
"Nah, look Bam, Cole likes it. Hit Vito again." Jess
said.
Bam hit Vito again who mumbled something again idiot kids.
"I think I have Cole's middle name. Vincent.
Just to piss Vito off this lil sk8er boi will have his name. " I said.
" Cole Vincent Margera." Jess said.
"No."
I said
"Oh, Cole Vincent DiCamillo?" Ape asked.
"No." I said again.
"Cole Vincent Margera-Dicamillo."
Bam said.
He grinned.
"Cole Vincent Margera-Dicamillo." I repeated. I looked
down at my son.
"Hey,
I just remembered, isn't today November 15?" Jess asked
"Yeah." said Ape.
"Man are we are a bunch of dildos.
It's Dico's birthday." Bam said.
"Happy birthday Cole. Happy Birthday Bran." I whispered.
