Chapter Eight: Halloween!
2 months went by fast. While Skylar and Novak got closer, Bam and I moved further apart. It seems that Bam and Missy were on a break and now they are back together and she has moved in to our home. Ah! I haven't told you. Bam asked Me, Raab, and Skylar to move into his home. Missy and I don't get along to well. You see, she thinks she is the queen bee of the house and I dont let her be. I have no problem with Melissa, its just all the screaming and glaring. She mostly glares at me but the yelling is a Bam when he does something stupid, like pranks, or when he does not answer her the first time.
Its now October and the day before my birthday and Halloween. I dont have anything planned, other than staying in my new room and reading a good book. The boys and Skylar have been whispering around though. I think they have something planned and I am scared, to be honest. I have never liked surprise parties. I don't like to be surprised in general. It just really annoys me for some odd reason.

I flipped a page in the book I was curently reading. I am staying on the down low because I dont want anyone knowing it was my birthday tomorrow. Around me there were people talking, playing video games and glaring. I looked up at Missy and raised an eyebrow. She looked down at my outfit I looked down as well, wondering what was wrong with it. I mean her outfit isnt all that great. Who wears somethign like that at 10 PM on a Wensday night when they are not going anywhere. I look back up at Missy and she was sucking face with Bam. I frown and go back to my book, wanting to ignore the noises from the kissing. When it became to much, I stood up quickly and begin to walk away. Bam pulled away from Missy and looked over at me.
"Ey Aza? Where are you going?" He called out to me.
I stopped and replied. "To bed." At the same time Missy said "Don't talk to her."
I shook my head sadly and walked up the steps and to my room. Once in my room I could hear Bam and Missy yelling. I looked over at Sky's bed, wishing she was here and not out with Novak. I slipped off my PJ bottoms and slipped under the covers, placing a pillow over my head, trying to go to sleep.
I was waken by a shuffling noise and a thump. I shot up and pressed my back against the headboard of my bed. I quickly reached over and clicked on the light. Bam staggered up to his feet, wobbling, and holding a bottle of Jack Daniels. I ran a hand through my messy hair and stood up out of bed. I then quickly made it over to Bam before he could fall again.
"What the fuck are you doing Bam?" I harshly whispered to him.
He smiled a goofy, drunk grin. "Missy kicked me out."
I sighed and rubbed my hand over my face. "Dammit, Bam."
I moved him over to my bed and sat him down. I turned away and picked my PJ bottoms off the floor, slipping them on. I then turned back to Bam, taking his arm around my neck and begin to walk with him to the stairs. Once to the stairs I took it slowly, scared that he would fall and take me down with him. We slowly made it half way down before Missy came out of her and Bam's room.
"What the hell are you doing sneaking around with Bam!?" She yelled as loud as she could, waking up Ryan.
I looked up at her, whispering " I am taking care of your drunk boyfriend because you wont."
I then kept going down the steps with Bam, Missy right on our heels. Once in the living room, I set Bam in a chair and moved to the closet, getting a pillow and blanket. I set the pillow down and grabbed the bottle of alcohol from Bam and pulled him up from the chair and laid him on to the couch. I covered him up as Missy kept going on and on and on.
"You know what! I know about you two! You and Bam! Making him cheat on me!" she got in my face.
I sighed. "Missy, there is nothing going on. Okay. This is not how I wanted to spend my night trust me. I don't want to take care of a drunk Bam but I have to because you wont. Please leave me alone." I said calmly. Which was hard because Sky wasn't here.
Ryan came down the steps. "Go to bed Aza. I got Bam." He said before Missy could say anything.
I nodded and begin to leave. Missy grabbed my arm to turn me around. Once I was turned half way around, my fist connected with her eye, making her fall to the ground on her back. She looked up at me, her eye beginning to swell. I turned away and went off to my room, for sleep.

There was a knock at my door and I groaned, getting out of bed. Sky was still not here, that meant she stayed at Novak's I pulled my PJ bottoms on and opened the door. Novak was standing there with a awkward smile on his face.
"Hey, Sky-bear said get dressed to go shopping." He said scratching his arm.
I nodded ahd shit the door after he left. I hated going shopping. Shopping with Skylar took hours, so I needed something comfortable. I dug though my closet settling on something casual. I walked out of my room and down the stairs, into the kitchen. I then grabbed an apple and slipped my wallet into my back pocket, going outside. Everyone was outside. Bam, Steve-o, and Wee-Man were skating . The others were talking with Novak and Sky. Last and the most least, Missy was tanning. I walked up to Sky and everyone stopped talking.
Sky turned to me and squealed. "Did you see that shiner Missy is sporting! Who did it?!"
I glanced at Ryan and he smiled. "I did, Sky."
Her eyes widened and she started laughing. "I should have known!"
I shook my head and walked off to my beat up old truck. "Lets go!" I called out to Sky.
Something hit the back of my head, hard. I turned and looked at the ground. A set of keys laid there. Sky walked up. "Bam said we can take his hummer. More stuff with fit and I have Novak's and Bam's credit card." She said, handing Bam's to me.
I sighed, getting in the hummer, and placing Bam's credit card in my wallet. I looked out the window, spotting Bam, looking at the hummer with a smile. I shook my head, pulling out and heading toward the city. Sky wanted to hit up every store she could because Novak said 'Go crazy.' I just shook my head. I pulled into a parking place and we got out.
"We need to look for Halloween costumes first. We ARE going trick or treating. No if, and's, or buts." She said.
"Alright, alright." I shook my head.

After 5 hours of shopping I had my costume picked out and Sky didnt. I was a wolf because I was obsessed with them. I loved them to death.
Sky held up a playboy bunny outfit and turned to me. "No right?"
I snickered. "No, that's a Missy costume." She nodded. I then heard a gasp. She turned around with a blue dress " I found it!"
I nodded my head. "Okay. Can we go home now?" I asked and she nodded.
Once in the hummer, with the back seat loaded up with bags, we started off for home, Bam's house. Once we were there, we grabbed oll the bags and walked up to the bathroom in Bam's room. His bathroom was the biggest and Missy was the only one with hair spray. We begin to get dressed, me having to get Sky to zip up my dress and put in my ears. Surprisingly, Sky was done before me. Once everything was in place we walked down the stairs to be met with about one hundred people jumping out when the lights turned on, yelling "SURPRISE!" I turned to Sky and narrowed my eyes.
