Chapter Nine: The Party
Last time:
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.
In front of me had to of been one hundred people, scattered through out the house and back yard. At the bottom of the stairs was the jackass crew and Missy. I giggled at their costumes, stopping when I got to Missy. I turned back to everyone else as they told me happy birthday and hugged me. Bam was last. His arms wrapped around my waist tightly, as I slid my arms around his neck. He pulled away after a bit and glanced at the angry Missy.
"Happy Birthday, Azalea." He smiled and placed a small kiss on my cheek.
My eyes widen as I nod. "Thanks Bam."
He nodded and turned away, walking with Missy toward the bar. He glanced back at me and Missy smacked his chest. I sighed and walked toward the kitchen, grabbing a beer. I don't care, I am getting drunk. I hung out with Ryan most of the night, drinking drinks back to back. I was hammered and we haven't even got to the presents. Ryan picked me up and begin to walk toward Bam's room. He kicked open the door and moved to the bathroom. He set me down by the toilet and left. I begin to get up but he was back and telling me to throw up.
I shook my head. "No Ryan. I don't like throwing up." My drunk self whined.
"Azalea, if you don't throw up I will shove my finger down your throat and make you." He growled.
After that threat I turned to the toilet and emptied out my stomach. Ryan passed me bread. I looked down at it with a furrowed brow. He just made me puke my guys up but he wants to give me more food. What?
He chuckled at my facial expression. "Its to sober you up. The bread soaks up the alcohol."
I nodded and begin to eat some. Once I was done with the 3rd piece I stood up. "Okay. I'm okay. I'm all good, Ryan."
His hands held my shoulders. "Are you sure?"
I nodded "Yea, Lets go open those presents."
We walked down stairs and into the living room. Only the jackass crew, Sky, and Missy got me something. I couldn't believe Missy got me something. She heated me, but Bam told me she bought it. I didn't see a present from Bam and I smiled. Thank god. I thought, I don't want him wasting hard earned money on me. Missy would kill him. I giggled, getting stares. I shook my head and took the first present in my hands. It was a small box from Ryan. I looked up at him for a moment before opening it. In the small little box was a diamond pendant with a wolf hanging below the diamond. I quickly stood up and walked over to him, hugging him tightly.
"Thank you so much, Ryan." I smiled.
"Anything for my little wolf." He grinned. He had given me that nickname after 2 weeks of knowing each other.
I moved back to the tower of presents after I got Ryan to put the necklace on me. I looked around and chose a box from Setve-O. It was a small box. I raised an eyebrow and opened it. 9, 100 dollar bills laid inside of it.
Steve-o's rough voice came from behind me. "You were saying how you wanted to get a tattoo but you didn't have the money. Well now you do."
I smiled and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, placing the money in my wallet. "Thank you so muck Steve-o. I'll make sure you come when I go get it."
30 minutes later there was 3 presents left. 1 from Sky and Novak and 2 from Bam. I didn't think Bam got me a present. I frowned and picked up the one from Sky and Novak. It was heavy. I opened the box and inside was a puppy. My eyes widened. Not just any type of puppy. It was a full blown wolf pup! I picked him up and looked at him. He was pure black. I brought him to my chest and he licked my face.
"His name is Gage." I looked up at Sky who smiled and clapped her hands. I then placed Gage on the floor and looked at the last 2 tiny boxes that were from Bam. I opened the first one. There was a post it note saying. "Go up to your bed room." I looked up at Bam with a raised eyebrow.
"Go on." He smiled.
I nodded my head and walked up the stairs to my room. The door was now painted black, matching the walls around it. I opened the door to show my new room. The room was very beautiful. I was in awe, standing in the middle of the room looking at everything. The theme was black and silver. The bed was beautiful, it looked 1800's style. I turned to Bam and wrapped my arms around him tightly.
"Thank you so much!" I smiled.
He hugged back. "You are not done. There is still one more present."
I ran down the steps and over to the last little box. I opened it and there was another post it note. This one said. "Go outside - Bam" I raised an eyebrow and walked to the front door and I opened it. My eyes laid on a black Lambo. I looked back a Bam and he tossed me the keys, along with a house key.
I shook my head. "Bam I cant accept this." I looked up at him from the keys.
He furrowed his brows. "Why?"
I motioned to the car. "That is a lot of money!" I stressed.
"Its fine, Aza. I promise." He smiled and hugged me.
I hugged back. "Are you sure?"
He nodded and nodded to the car. "Lets take a joy ride."
We walked over to the car and he ripped of the large bow. "You know, I am blaming you for making me feel like a 16 year old." I laughed as I unlocked the car.
"Good. All you have to do is take 10 years away and you are." He replied.
I smiled and slipped into the car, him not long after. I turned the car on and looked down to see a jack for my phone I plugged it in and scrolled through my music choosing a song. 'Wings Of A Butterfly' by HIM. I glanced over at him and we bot begin to sing.
"Heaven ablaze in our eyes
We're standing still in time
The blood on our hands is the wine
We offer as sacrifice
[Chorus]
Come on, and show them your love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul, my love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul
This endless mercy mile
We're crawling side by side
With hell freezing over in our eyes
Gods kneel before our crime
[Chorus]
Come on lets show, them your love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul, my love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul
(Rip out the wings of a butterfly)
Don't let go
(Rip out the wings of a butterfly)
For your soul
[Chorus]
Come on, and show them your love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul, my love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul
(Rip out the wings of a butterfly)
Don't let go
(Rip out the wings of a butterfly) [x2]
For your soul"
We glance at eachother after the song and start laughing. I was now going 90 MPH down a deserted road. I slowed to a stop and ran my hads over the stearing wheel. I look over at Bam and before I can say anything, his lips press to mine. I pulled away to say something about Missy but Bam had a painful look on his face. My heart broke. I felt so bad for him. He was torn and he didn't know what to do.
"I cant do it anymore, Azalea." His voice cracked. "She will be the death of me. I want to leave her."
I sat there for a few minutes, thinking about it. "Then leave her. She is holding you back. Do what your gut and your heart tells you." Oh god I sound stupid...
I pulled off after he nodded and flipped on a song. Bam stayed quiet as I sang softly.
"With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me,
Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you
I'm killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb
I'm killing loneliness"
We pulled up to the house and out of the corner of my eye, Bam was smiling. "I guess I will tell her now. Just be ready. She will blame you..."
I nodded and he got out, walking up to the house. I made sure the windows were rolled up and the doors were locked. I scrolled through my songs and turned on 'Buried Alive By Love' by Him. I turned it up all the way and got out of the car when Missy walked out of the house. I leaned against the black lambo and waited for her. She walked up and her fist connected with my jaw. I rubbed my jaw lightly and watched her lips move as she tried to talk over the music. I paused the music and listened to her.
"I hope you to are fucking happy! NO! You know what! I don't hope you two are happy! He will always love me! Not you, not any other girl! He loves me!" She screamed in my face.
I shook my head. "Missy, there is nothing between us. Do I have to remind you what happened last time you got in my face." I calmly spoke, behind Missy the group watched. "It is my damn birthday. Go. Leave."
She kept talking and I rolled my eyes and finally let my fist slam against her already swollen eye. After collecting herself, we watched her leave. I grabbed my phone and walked inside, after everyone with Bam.
"Thanks." He smiled. "For telling me to go with my gut and heart. I feel better already."
I smiled and nodded my head. "Good." I stood up on my tip toes and placed a kiss on his cheek. I then turned and walked inside.

I changed out of my costume and into pajamas I then slipped into bed for a much needed rest. There was a knock at my door. I looked at my clock and read 4 AM. I groaned and stood up, walking to my door. I opened it and blinked at Bam. He stood there in black plaid pajama pants, bare chest. I raised an eyebrow and he leaned against the door frame.
"I cant sleep." He looked at his feet then up at her.
"What do you usually do when you cant sleep?" I asked quietly.
He shrugged. "I curl up with someone."
My cheeks reddened a bit. I knew where this was going. "Come on in, Bam." I said.
I walked back over to my bed and laid down. Bam walked around the bed and slid in next to me. I faced away from him on my side and he scooted up to me and laid his arm over my side, pressing his hand to my stomach. His chest pressed against my back as I slowly fell asleep.
