Bam woke up still hearing Ville's beautiful voice in his head. He smiled about it as he reach out to pull him closer, only to realize that Ville wasn't there. He sat up and looked around there was so sight of him, but his guitar was still laying on the floor in it's case. On top of the instrument was a note with his name scribbled on it. Bam got up and grabbed the note. He unfolded it and read it.

Bam,

I'm sorry I wasn't there when you woke up, but my parents had to go to the shop and

I had to watch the house. I'll see you soon, okay? I love you, Bammie

Sweetly Yours, Ville

Bam smiled, "He said 'I love you.'" He sighed like a teenage girl with the world's largest crush. "Hey, fuck wipe, dinner." Jess said banging on Bam's door. "Alright, I'm coming." Bam said quickly putting the note in his pocket and headed down to dinner. "So, when did Ville leave, Bam?" Ape asked. "I'm not sure, I was asleep." Bam said. "He left about 4." Phil said getting another plate of food. "So, not that long ago." Ape nodded. "Nope." Bam agreed. He already planned on calling Ville before he went to bed that night, so he didn't really care about what time Ville left.

He had tried calling Ville several times before he went to bed, But he didn't get an answer. He thought about going over there to see what was up, but he just figured that Ville had fell asleep and couldn't hear the phone. So, he just went to bed thinking he'd see him in the morning.

"Bam...Bam, wake up, dude. We have to get out of the house." Jess' voice was rushed as he shook Bam violently. "What? Why?" Bam asked getting up. "There's a house on fire. Everyone near it has to leave their house in case theirs goes up." He explained throwing Bam his shoes and coat. Bam pulled on his shoes and coat, then followed his brother out to the street where their parents were standing. Bam looked at all the people in the crowd looking for Ville. He couldn't find him, he started to panic. "Ape, I have to find Ville." He said frantic. "Bam, you can't." She whispered. "Why? I have to know he's okay." "Bam, look." Ape said pointing to the house on fire. It was Ville's. "Ville!!" Bam yelled running towards the house. A firefighter caught Bam by the waist and held him. A few firefighters excited the house just as the roof caved in. "We couldn't sweep the whole house. We didn't find anyone in the parts we could." Bam heard one say to who must have been the Capitan. Bam could hear Ville's mother start to scream and saw his father hold her as she fell to the ground. He went limp in the fighter's arms. "It's okay, son. It'll be alright." He heard the guy say as he blacked out.

Bam woke up in his room, he rushed to his feet. "Relax, Brandon, relax." Jess said. He was sitting on the edge of Bam's bed. "It was a dream, Jess. Please tell me it was." Bam begged as tears fell. Jess bit his lip and looked to the floor sadly. Bam broke into a sob as his knees hit the floor. Jess hugged Bam tightly, crying with him. "There's a chance he wasn't there, Bam. They haven't found any hints that he was. They only found their dead cat, Lily." Jess said, trying to help give his brother some kind of hope. "No, Jess. He wouldn't have left. He always does what his parents say." Bam sobbed harder. Jess didn't know what to tell his little brother. He just hugged him until neither could cry anymore.

The rest of the day Bam spent in bed laying next to Ville's guitar. He had moments of uncontrolled sobs, anger that Ville listened to his parents and didn't stay with him and moments he hated himself for not going over to check on him when he didn't answer the phone. Ape had spoke to Ville's father. He said that the fire inspector could only guess that the fire started in one of the bedroom and it was possible the cat knocked down a candle. But, they wouldn't know know until they investigated. Ape and Phil also told Mr. Valo that he and his wife could stay in their second house that was just across the street. Mr. Valo accepted their offer along with having dinner with them. Bam had refused to leave his room, so Ape brought dinner to him. "Bam, it's not polite having dinner by yourself when we have guests in the house." She told him, when he unlocked his bedroom door. "I can't face them, Ape. It hurts to much to see them. Especially, Mrs. Valo, she has green eyes just like Ville." Bam said starting to cry again. April held her son and let him cry. "It's alright, Bam." She whispered. "No, it won't. I didn't even get to tell him I love you." He sniffed. Ape looked at Bam with sympathy. "Why don't you go to sleep." She suggested letting him go. Bam nodded and laid down. He pulled Ville's guitar closer and cryed himself to sleep.

Around midnight the phone in Bam's room rang. Bam groaned at picked it up. "What?" He snapped. "Bam, What the hell happened?" Bam froze, his heart sped up, it felt like it was going to explode. "V...V...Ville?" He stuttered starting to cry once again. "Yeah, sweetheart. Why are you crying? What's going on?" "Your...your house burned down, everyone thinks you're dead." Bam shook with his tears. "Oh god, Are my parents ok? I'm fine. I went for a walk. I'm kinda lost." Ville said starting to cry himself. "God, Ville you scared me. I thought I lost you. I thought I'd never get the chance to tell you I love you." Both boys cried over the phone to each other. "Aww, Bam. I love you too, baby. Just do me a favor." Ville said wiping his eyes. "Anything, babe." "Come get me. I don't know how to get home." Ville laughed through his tears.
