Success Story
Chapter 16
Back at Castle Bam, April came home from the grocery store. She realized she was home alone and sat down and turned on the tv after she finished putting away the food. She turned it to MTV2. It was the new videos that they showed every week. She finished watching Coldplay's Speed of Sound video and suddenly saw the band EKS! She cheered and watched the whole video for Love: Part 1. When the video was over she went to the phone to call Bam and tell him. When she reached the phone, she saw a note that read:
Ape,
Sami is in the Chester County Hospital. She got hit by a car. She's okay but unconsious. We'll be there.
-Phil and Jade
April gasped. Tears formed in her eyes when she read that her granddaughter was hit by a car and a smile formed on her face when she realized that her little girl Jade was back. She ran out and got into somebody's car and drove off.
At the hospital, Keith and Paul were there. Paul was sitting there, fidgeting and Keith was pacing around the room, wating for Sami's x-ray to be over.
"Damn. How fucking long does it take?" Keith asked Bam.
"Dude, settle down, it's only been 2 minutes." he replied. Keith checked his phone for the time and blushed.
"Oh. I guess I will sit down." He plopped down on the sofa and opened up a magazine which happened to be about music. He read the article on the new bands. He read the list and when he reached the 5th and sixth one, he jumped.
5. EKS
6. Eric Moeller
"What was that?" Paul asked.
"Look!" Keith put the magazine up to Paul's face. Paul grinned.
"Sweet!" Paul passed the book around to everyone and they were all very happy, especially because they were above Eric.
As soon as they settled down, the hospital entrance burst open. In came a person with a black jacket and baggy pants. Bam and Phil recognized her immediately.
"Mere!" Bam exclaimed. Mere ran over to say hi.
"Hi, Mr. Margera!" she said. Mere was Sami's old friend from school. Mere moved away into a different part of Chester and she and Sami barely ever kept in touch.
"Hi, Mere." Phil said, shaking her hand.
"So, why are you guys all here?" she said.
"Oh, it's Sami." Bam said. Mere frowned.
"Is she okay? Where is she?" she asked.
"222. She's getting x-rays for her ribs now so, you can't visit her. What brings you here anyway?"
"My friend Gina is having a baby." she said.
"She's 14?"
"No, she's a few years older than me, more like 18." she said. She looked around at everyone to see who was there. Her eyes shot from Paul to Keith. 'Whoa,' she thought, 'who's that cutie?' She went over to shake Keith's hand.
"Hi, I'm Mere." she said.
"Oh, I'm Keith. I'm in the band with Sami." he said.
"Is she your girlfriend?"
"Yeah. We've been going out for awhile now." Mere's heart dropped at that and she was immediately jealous of one of her best friends.
"Oh...okay." Mere said. She turned to Bam. "I'm gonna go wait on my friend. I'll see you all later." Mere said, walking off.
"I think she likes you." Paul teased his little brother.
"Shut up, idiot." he said. Paul smiled when Keith blushed. The secretary came up to the whole group.
"Sami can have visitors now." she said. They all got up and squeezed into the elevator. Phil, too.
"Someone press the 2 button!" Dico yelled, getting squished by Phil. Paul reached over and pressed it.
"Shit," he said, "I think we went over the weight limit."
