In Joy and Sorrow Chapter 15

Bam returned to life from his thoughts and looked at Jimmy who had been sitting there watching Bam think.

"I've missed you, Bam." Jimmy said, sighing.
"Really?" Bam asked.
"Yeah. I regretted leaving you when I woke up the next morning...not in bed with you"
"I cried myself to sleep that night. Seeing that empty space in our bed...it hurt so much"
"I'm sorry..." The two of them sat in each others arms for awhile until Jimmy finally said something.

"Bam...you were right. You can't just get over relationships like the one we had. I just realized that...I think I'm still in love with you." When Bam heard that, his heart skipped a beat and he suddenly smiled.
"I think I'm still in love with you, too." JImmy sighed in relief and smiled. Seconds later, his smile faded.

"What about Gina?" Bam frowned too, remembering Jimmy's pregnant wife at home.
"You love her, too"
"Yeah"
"Well," Bam said, standing up, "go what with sounds better in the long run"
"But I don't know"
"Take your time..." Bam paused, and then he grinned. "Bay." Jimmy grinned a stupid giddy lookin grin and stood up, too.
"You're a dork, you know that?" Jimmy laughed, flirting with Bam in a way.
"Yeah, I know." Bam replied. As they walked into the house, Jimmy grabbed Bam by the arm.
"But your my dork." he whispered in his ear. Bam blushed. "I think I'm gonna leave her...and live here with you. I mean, that's okay, right"
"That's a good idea." Bam smiled and gave Jimmy a quick kiss.

"I love you." Jimmy said.
"I love you, too." Bam replied.

"I think they came in..." Sami said, messing with a few crumbs on the counter top down in the Pirate Bar.
"I don't hear yelling...so I guess I can explain it to you..." Dico replied. Just then, the phone rang. "I GOT IT!" Katie yelled. She had just gotten back from her trip up to New York to visit her family. The phone stopped ringing once she picked it up.

"Hello?" they heard her say. Sami turned to face her, while she talked on the phone. She looked over at Sami. "It's for you, Sam." Sami hopped off the stool and went over to the phone.

"Yo." she said into the receiver. Someone was crying on the other end.
"This is Sami, right?" the voice said. It was a familiar voice, but Sami couldn't remember who's it was.
"Yeah, who's this?" "Kat's mother"
"Oh...what's wrong"
"Have you seen Kat?" Sami got a nervous feeling in her stomach.
"I...saw her two nights ago...why"
"We haven't seen her since two nights ago. Where did you see her"
"We met down at our hangout...she didn't come home, did she"
"Not that I know of"
"Oh, God"
"Do you have any idea of where she may have gone?" Sami thought about it for a second.
"Sorry, but I don't." The crying started again on the phone. "Listen...if I see her anywhere or someone tells me that they've seen her, I'll let you know, okay"
"Ok"
"Well...um...bye." Sami hung up the phone angrily and sighed. She walked back into the kitchen and sat down on the chair, and put her head down on her arms.

"What's wrong?" Dico asked, going over to her.
"I need to talk to Bam or Jimmy..." she replied. Dico nodded and went upstairs to find them cuddling on the couch together.

"Awww." Dico said, walking over to them. They both moved away from each other slightly and blushed. Dico chuckeled. "What are you laughing at?" Bam asked, crossing his arms.
"Nothing. One of you get downstairs. Sami needs to talk." Bam and Jimmy got up at the same time. "You can go, Bam." Jimmy said, starting to sit back down.
"You're her dad, you go." Bam smiled softly at Jimmy and sat down. "Alright..." Jimmy walked downstairs and over to Sami, who's head was still down on the counter. He put a hand on her back.

"What's up?" he asked, sitting down next to her. She looked up at him.
"They can't find Kat"
"What"
"Kat didn't go home after I left"
"Oh God"
"She's been gone for two days"
"And those were her parents on the phone?" Sami nodded. "They just realized that she was gone"
"No...I think they just thought about calling me today"
"Oh." Jimmy put his arm around her.

Meanwhile upstairs, Bam got a call on his cell phone. He picked it up and answered it.

"Yo." Bam said, into his phone.
"Bam-Bam." the Finnish accent filled voice replied back.
"Hey, Valo." "What's up, Bammi?" "Nothing much. How's the tour going"
"Good. It's fun"
"Good"
"We're playing a show in Philly tonight. You coming"
"Hell yeah"
"Awesome"
"Oh yeah! I have someone to introduce to you, too"
"Who"
"You'll see"
"Ok. The concert is tonight at 7"
"Alright. I'll see you then"
"Bye, Bam-Bam"
"Bye, Walo." Bam snickered and closed his phone. He couldn't wait to introduce Sami to Ville, one of her biggest idols. He also wondered how Ville's daughter Mere Valo would react to Sami.
