Chapter 2:

'Elli!' Elli rolled over to find her manager Helen drawing back the shades of her hotel room and letting the sunlight pour in. 'You need to wake up.'

'What for?' Elli moaned.

'We need to catch a flight to Finland right away.' She said bustiling around the room. 'You've asked to perfrom at the European VMA's. They're being held in Helsinki this year.'

'Are you kidding?' Elli asked sitting up.

'No! And you're doing to song's so we need to get out there and make good use of the stage.' Helen said leaving the room.

Elli fell back onto her down pillows. At least she could sleep on the flight over.


The flight over had been very relaxing. Ellison had finally been able to watch her Viva la Bam DVD's. It had been months since the last time she had gotten a good laugh, and her movies supplied her with just that. She had even had a chance to catch up on Radio Bam. A few weeks had gone by since she had last had an hour to listen to Bam's voice.

Once landed, Helen pushed her towards the front doors where a limo was waiting. Being surounded by paparazzi and fans slowed her down but they were soon on their way to the venue. Helen began telling her what she was going to be doing. Elli, however, had already drowned her out. She was too busy watching the fading scenery.

'...And then the second half will be with some rock band called H.I.M.' Helen said scrunching her nose.

'Wait, what?' Elli asked.

'You're going to do a song of your own...and then perform with the band H.I.M.' Helen reexplained.

'Seriously!' Elli asked getting excited. Maybe this concert was going to be worth it after all.


Bam made his way to his reserved seat dragging Missy along by the hand. They took their seats and Novak sat with them.

'I'm excited for this show.' Novak said. Bam rolled his eyes. Novak was always excited to be in the public eye. The three of them made small talk for twenty minutes when the lights dimed and a catchy beat began to play.

The stage filled with fog and Bam smirked recognizing the song as Elli Valentine's hit single. He was secretly happy to be seeing her live and in person. She put on an amazing perfromance and had the crowd screaming wild by the end of the song. She stood with a triumphet smile as the lights dimmed down and blue lights started to swril the stage.

A pretty sound filled the air while she stood there smiling and breathing. Then she began to sing.

'We are so young

Our lives have just begun

It's already we are considering

Escape from...this world....'

Bam's eyes went wide. He never ever expected her to sing a H.I.M. song.

'And we've waited for so long

For this moment to come

We're so anxcious to be together...

Together...in death....

Woah, woah...'

Bam noticed Burton was standing by a piano in the back at this point playing the signature keys to the song.

'Yeah...Baby join me in death....

Baby join me in death...'

At this point the guitar and drums kicked in and Bam found himself smiling wide when his old friend Ville walked on the stage and joined Elli. They hugged and Ville began to sing.

Elli and Ville had managed to turn the song into a beautiful duet and Bam loved every minute of it. And so did the crowd. They were going crazy when Ville and Elli hugged at the end and walked of stage.

Half way through the show, Bam made his way backstage to give out the award for best breakout female. He was excited. He picked up his envelope and made his way out to the stage.


'Announcing the award for best breakout female, give it up, for Bam Margera!'

Elli's heart stopped. She knew she was up for that award and from what Helen had said, she had a pretty good chance of winning too. And now she had to accept it from him of all people. She couldn't hear a word he was saying over her heartbeat. She was able to relax herself as the other nominees played on the screen.

'Alright!' Bam said a moment later. 'And the winner is...' He ripped open the envelope and giggled. 'She played a damn good performance with Ville earlier...Elli Valentine!'

Her hit song started blasting over the speakers as she hugged Helen and then made her way for the stage. This was not how she had pictured meeting Bam for the first time, but she figured it was better then not.

He was smiling as she approached him. 'Congratgulations.' He said hugging her and handing her the trophey.

She walked to the microphone in complete shock over the award and hug from Bam. 'Wow.' The crowd laughed as she tried to think of the right words to say. 'Um...I just say...thank to my parents, my manager, my whole team, Bam, and my fans....for making all my dreams come true. I love you guys!' She turned away from the mic and followed Bam off stage.

'Me?' He asked laughing.

'What?'

'You said you wanted to thank me.'

'Oh, I just meant for giving me the award. And I'm a huge fan.' She explained.

'I see.' He said chucking. 'Well you're welcome.'

'Elli! Bam!' They both turned to see Ville walking towards them. 'I'm so glad you two have met. We all have to go out tonight for a celebritory drink on me!'

Chapter 3:

'I really don't feel like going.' Missy whined as Bam pulled her towards Corona Bar.

'Then go back to the hotel.' Bam said sghing heavily.

'Fine.' She said giving him a kiss and heading to the hotel they had just exited.

'You gonna hook up with Elli now?' Novak asked wiggling his eyebrows?

'No. I'm not going to hook up with Elli.' Bam said sighing. 'I'm going to get to know her.'

'That's the hard way.' Novak explained while Bam rolled his eyes and they walked into the bar.

They found Ville who was sitting at the Bar with a glass of water in his hand. Bam was happy to see his friend was taking the sober route nicely.

'Is Elli coming?' Bam asked taking a seat next to him and ordering a Red Bull and Vodka.

'She said she was.' Ville said taking a drag of his cigarette.


Elli walked down the street in Helsinki and prayed this was the right bar. She wanted to get inside before someone noticed her. Ville had said something about a Corona Bar and she smiled when she saw Bam and Novak sitting with Ville at the bar.

She took a deep breath and made her way towards the boys.

'Elli!' Ville called in his adorable accent.'Come here, Love.'

'Hi!' She said smiling wide. 'Sorry I'm late. I couldn't get rid of my manager.'

'It's fine.' Ville smiled making room for her at the bar.

'This is my friend Novak.' Bam said pointing to his compainion.

'It's nice to meet you.' Elli smiled.

She ordered herself a drink and settled down for her night with the boys.


Bam discovered that Elli was the most amazing person he had ever met in a matter of a few hours.

He couldn't help but smile as she told stories of her crazy stage mother and trips around the globe.

'What about you?' She asked. 'What was your childhood like?'

'Mine?' Bam chuckled. 'Nothing like yours. I was the only one pushing for my dreams. Well, and then Ape and Phil jumped in.'

Elli giggled a little bit.

'I mean, I wasn't modeling at the age of three.' He said. 'Actually I wasn't even skating...'

'What were you doing?'

'Being an asshole.' He said smiling and making her laugh. 'You know...we should work on something together.'

'Like what?' Elli asked.

'A video or something.'

'You know...' Elli said smirking. 'I am looking for a director for my next music video and I'm a huge fan of your work.'

'Perfect!' Bam said smiling and pulling out his phone. 'Put your number in here.'

She did as she was told and he found he was glad he now had an excuse to get her number.

'Well, I should probably head back.' She said standing up. 'I have an early flight to Paris, but I'll call you in a few weeks?'

'Definatly.' Bam said smiling.


Elli said goodbye to the boys and got a taxi back to her hotel. She smiled wide knowing she would be working with Bam in a few weeks. That was the one thing she had always dreamed of doing since she had first seen him on that Toy Machine DVD of her brother's.

'Aren't you Elli Valentine?' The cabbie asked as she went to hand him money.

'Yes...' She said.

'No need to pay then, Love. Just sign this.' He said handing her a piece of paper and a pen.
