Summary: Ville's family died in a devastating car crash, and he's been sent to live with the only family he has apparently got left. His first shock comes when he's told they live in America. His second shock is when he finds out that his two cousins are his age, one of whom is openly homosexual. The other however, Ville comes to think is insane. He is due to attend their high school, where he will meet some rather... unusual... friends. Ville's life is about to change, a lot. Especially when he meets a skater boy with cerulean eyes...

Chapter 1: Do You Skate?
After several explanations that he didn't skateboard, Craig and Alex allowed Ville to leave the house without a skateboard. Alex boarded along beside them as Craig walked with Ville, his deck under his arm. Ville wasn't specifically looking forward to meeting a load of new people at a skate park. From past experiences he knew that skaters could be the most arrogant people ever. Ville was only half-listening to what Craig was telling him.
"... and then we have our future pro, Bam. I mentioned him earlier. He's like, awesome at boarding. Seriously, he's almost sixteen and he's already skating like some of the pros. We reckon in a couple of years he should be getting signed to like, Element or something." Craig continued rambling about their various friends. "And then there's Dunn, Raab and DiCo. Their real names are Ryan, Chris and Brandon, but no one ever calls them that. Dunn is like, really random. In fact his nickname is Random Hero. Raab is like, Bam's best bud, and a complete goof. DiCo is the complete freak, you can always rely on him to be an idiot and he's not scared to put himself in a position where people are going to laugh at him or whatever."
"Craig, give the guy's ears a rest!" Alex laughed. "You talk just as much as mom."
"I'm just filling him in on the basics!" Craig retorted, but with a grin on his face. He really grins too much. Ville was suddenly hit by another taste of home. Coming from somewhere nearby was the sound of Kiss.
"Ah, I see Jasper has brought his stereo with him. We're at the skate park now, it's just round the corner." As they turned the corner, Ville saw that they were indeed at a skate park. Several boys and girls were shredding the ramps and rails, whilst a group of about four sat around a stereo, waving their arms around like idiots whilst singing along. Alex shot into the park straight away, amid a chorus of 'hey Lex' and various other greetings.
"HEY PATCH!" Someone yelled, and Craig held up his hand in return.
"Hey guys, nice choice of music Jasper." He said to a guy with black hair in a very emo style, who grinned and gave him the 'rock on' sign.
"Who's the dude Patch?" A girl asked him. She had blonde hair, tucked away under a black beanie.
"Oh yeah, it's my cousin. I want everyone here so I can introduce him." Craig turned and began yelling for some of the people skating. "HEY RENNER, SKITZ, MOGG, LASH! GET OVER HERE!" He turned to another part of the skate park. "You too Bam-Bam!" Three guys and two girls boarded over to where everyone was gathered, one guy almost crashing into Craig. Ville found himself trying to hide behind Craig, unused to all this attention.
"Guys, girls... this is mine and Lex's cousin Ville. He's going to be living with us from now on." He turned to Ville. "Ville, this is Jess," He pointed to a guy wearing a dark blue beanie, who was sat one side of the stereo. "Jasper," He pointed to the guy with the black emo hair. "Danielle," He pointed to the blonde girl in the beanie. "Tim, Rake, Dunn, DiCo and Raab." The first guy had dark hair and only briefly looked up from a notebook he was holding to nod a greeting. The second guy had very unruly light-ish hair, and seemed to Ville rather strange. The third guy, who he had heard of earlier, had blonde hair. The next two guys were both grinning like Craig, the first with dark hair, the second with lighter hair. "This is Tanya, a.k.a. Renner," this girl had brown hair, stuffed under a beanie. Her skateboard said 'Renner' on the bottom.
"I always use Renner boards, so they all call me Renner." She explained. I nodded slowly, realizing Renner was the make of the board.
"Then these two are the twins, Zack and Rick, a.k.a. Skitz and Mogg." Two guys, who looked identical, nodded and grinned. Both had blonde hair and blue eyes. "This is Cassie, or Lash as everyone calls her."
"It's a long story, maybe I'll tell you one day." A girl with black hair grinned.
"And this is Bam, Jess's brother, and our resident pro." As Ville looked over the boy Craig had just introduced him to, he couldn't believe how anyone could look so... beautiful. His wavy brown hair was kept remotely neat by the ragged beanie he had pulled on his head, and his cerulean eyes gazed at Ville, with a glint of mischief in them. His grin was welcoming, and slightly cheeky. He was dressed in a red Adio shirt, baggy blue jeans with rips in both knees - probably from skateboarding - and Adio shoes. He kicked up his board and caught it expertly in one hand. He held out his other to Ville.
"Welcome to the gang Ville." Ville accepted the offered hand and shook it slowly, much like he had done with Craig. The 'gang' then went back to whatever they had been doing - the boarders went off to skate, and the group around the stereo continued with their random dancing. Craig nodded once at Ville before dropping his board and skating off towards the ramps. Ville barely noticed he had gone, he was too busy drinking in the sight of this young skater.
As for Bam, he could hardly believe his eyes. In front of him stood one of the most gorgeous guys he had ever seen. Tall, and slightly thin, dressed in slightly baggy black pants, a simple long-sleeved black shirt and black boots. A black beanie was pulled tightly over his head, but brown curls poked out from underneath the material. His emerald eyes were lined with eyeliner, he had high cheekbones and very full lips.
"Do you skate?" Ville was broken from his trance by the question Bam had obviously directed at him.
"I... no." Ville replied, strangely ashamed of that fact. He felt as if he HAD to be able to skate around Bam.
"You don't skate?" Bam spoke the three words as if he were deeply insulted. Ville couldn't tell if he was joking or not, but he decided to go with the latter.
"I tried once but I... I fell on my ass." He admitted reluctantly. "I never tried again."
"Well I say it's about time you tried again! Hey, I'll even teach you myself. These jackasses say I'm 'like a pro', so maybe it'll rub off on you." I'd like to rub off on you, Bam... No, stop it. Stop. It. Bad Ville. Quit thinking like that.
"Uh, yeah. Not now. Some other time, maybe?" Bam grinned and nodded. He was about to reply, when Craig shot past him like a rocket.
"JUDE!" Ville followed his hyperactive cousin to where he was now hugging another guy, with dark purple hair. He grinned as Craig let go of him.
"Hey Patchy, nice shirt." He commented, looking Craig up and down. Craig laughed, smoothing out the luminous green material. "So you want my cock huh?" He chuckled.
"Totally." Craig replied with a rather seductive expression. Jude grinned and placed a kiss on Craig's lips. Ville watched with raised eyebrows. He heard a light chuckle from beside him and turned to look at Bam.
"I take it you didn't know Craig had a boyfriend?"
"I didn't know he was GAY." Ville replied, still watching the pair.
"You mean you went all day with him wearing that shirt, and you never even suspected that he was gay?" Bam laughed. "Then again, Craig could just have been wearing it for the sake of it. He does things like that. He walked around town in a skirt once just because he could." Ville laughed - for the first time since he'd found out his family had died in a car crash. Which had happened a month ago.
"So, he's like, an open homosexual?"
"Totally. He'd skip down the street yelling it if he wanted to." Bam turned to look Ville in the eyes. "So uh, why are you living with him now?" Ville bit his lip and sighed. Any smile that had remained on his face was now gone.
"Long story." Bam smiled, but this time it was more sincere.
"Hey, I got all day." Ville grabbed his wrist and led him over to a wall, away from the others.
"Well, a month ago, my family died in a car crash." He said quietly.
"Fuck! I'm so sorry!"
"It's okay, I guess I'm lucky I wasn't there too." He paused for a moment before continuing. "They were going to watch a play, and I wasn't really interested so I stayed at home. On their way back, a truck rammed into the side of their car. My father was killed on impact. My mother and brother died in hospital later that night. I was told that I had no family left in Finland, since my grandparents had all died. I was sent to live with one of my friends, and about a week after the accident, I was told that they'd located my Aunt Katri and Uncle David. I was relieved that they'd found family, but when I found out they lived here I was devastated. I'd be leaving everything from my life behind. But there was no other option and so, a few weeks after that... here I am." Bam had been quiet throughout Ville's tale, and now he reached over and put his hand over one of Ville's. Ville looked up sharply, shocked.
"I'm so sorry, that must be fucking awful!" He shook his head a few times, trying to take it in. "You're fucking strong, being able to keep your chin up throughout all that shit. If that was my parents and brother, I'd have tried to kill myself a long time ago." Ville was silent. "You... you tried, didn't you?"
Ville didn't know why he was telling Bam this, but he felt as though he could trust him. Wordlessly, he pulled the sleeve of his shirt back, to reveal several horizontal red lines cutting across his pale flesh.
"I couldn't even do it properly. I just couldn't kill myself." He muttered, trying to hold back tears. As if Bam knew what he was struggling with inside, he pulled Ville to him and wrapped his arms around him.
"Oh my god, Ville are you okay?" Craig, having looked over, had seen Bam pull Ville into a hug and had run over to see if everything was okay. Ville - rather reluctantly - pulled back from Bam and gave Craig a small smile.
"Yeah, just demons from the past."
Ville lay on his bed, staring at his dark purple ceiling. Visions of his dying brother, lying deathly still on a white hospital bed, kept floating in front of his eyes. By the time he had reached the hospital, his mother had died. He had only been there to say a hurried goodbye to his brother. Jesse, his little baby brother, just seven years old. He hadn't even made it to his eighth birthday, which had been in a week and a half. Ville was forced to close his eyes, as his vision was becoming blurry with tears.
"Why did it have to happen? Why?" He whispered hoarsely. He opened his eyes again, remembering the hug that Bam had given him earlier. He hadn't even known him five minutes and Ville had opened up to him, showed him the one thing he hadn't even shown his old best friend in Finland. Linde would have killed him had he seen the cuts on Ville's wrists. Ville let his thoughts wander to Bam. He had only ever thought about a guy in a sexual way once before, and that was just months before the accident that had changed his life. But Bam had triggered that flare inside of him - the flare that made him feel warm and loved. Just the way Bam had grinned at him as he had welcomed him to the gang had sent a shiver up his spine. And as for the hug… Ville hadn't wanted to let go. Bam's beautiful blue eyes went through his mind - the gorgeous colour, the mischievous glint… everything about them made Ville smile. His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on his door.
"Yes?" The door opened and Craig poked his head around the door.
"Jude and me are watching a film, you wanna join us?" He asked with a smile. "Bam should be coming round, too." He added when he saw Ville's look of uncertainty. "You two got on well earlier so I figured you'd want someone to talk to and hang with." Ville had to admit, Craig was a sweet guy. He nodded, and swept his legs off the bed and stood up.
"Sure thing, what you watching?" Craig grinned.
"Haven't decided, Jude's picking one right now." He followed Craig to Craig's room, where Jude was sat on the floor amid a pile of DVDs.
Ville looked around the room, smiling at what he would easily recognize as 'typical Craig'. Posters of Sabbath, Kiss, Manson, Slipknot and various other bands were covering one wall, and on the nearest wall to Ville were framed pictures of Craig with the group of friends he had met earlier. One picture stood out from the rest - of Craig and Bam, trying to skate on one skateboard between them. One of Bam's hands was on Craig's shoulder, the other stuck out for balance. Craig was in a similar position, and both were laughing. Craig's bed was huge - covered in black sheets which looked strangely like satin. There was a black and luminous pink sofa parked right in front of a huge plasma TV, with rows and rows of DVDs down each side. Beside the TV was a stereo, with speakers the size of Ville, and smaller ones perched around the room. There was a simple bookcase beside the stereo, on which was about twenty books and several hundred CDs. Two skate decks were nailed to the wall the other side of the door, one reading 'Craig' and the other with the Marilyn Manson symbol - two Ms beside each other. The walls had been painted black originally, but due to the posters and framed pictures there was hardly any wall to be seen. The closet at the far end of the room was still the wood colour it had been when they bought it, but it was covered with people's names and random bits of writing.
"You can add to it, if you want." Ville snapped his attention to Craig, who was holding out a pen and grinning. "Everyone has to write something on it."
Ville took the pen and manoeuvred his way through the room to the closet. Before he wrote anything, he read what other people and put.
Renner <3s Skateboarders!
Jasper Wants Sex - Haha
Jude Hearts Patchy Forever
Ville smiled at the last one, and glanced at Jude who was still sat on the floor looking through DVDs. He continued to read through them, coming across two which, even though one wasn't signed, he knew instantly who wrote it.
Beware - this closet contains various body parts that the Hudson Morgue has disposed of. It may smell a little - oh no, that's just Craig XD
Definitely Alex. The last part did make him smile a bit, however. He read the next one, and his smile grew.
Bam-Bam and Patch best mates and boarders forever! Keep rocking Patch!
Bam. Ville grinned as he traced the words with his forefinger, trying to think of what to add. A simple phrase came into his mind, and in his best writing - rather posh-looking, too - Ville wrote:
Beyond Redemption, And No One To Catch Me When I Fall.
Simple, but very Ville. He capped the pen and placed it on the desk beside it which he had not seen from the door. Craig peered over his shoulder and inspected the addition.
"Very dark. Alex will like it." He grinned.
"PATCH! BAM-BAM'S ON HIS WAY UP!" Said girl yelled up the stairs, and moments later Bam opened the door with one hand covering his eyes.
"Is it safe to come in or are you guys doing it?" He asked in all seriousness.
"It's safe Bam, besides, we wouldn't do it with Ville in the room. That's just wrong." Craig laughed, and Bam instantly removed his hand, a grin spreading across his face as he caught sight of Ville.
"Well, hey again Ville." He watched Ville for a moment, before turning his gaze to the pile of DVDs that swamped Jude. "What we watching?" Jude showed him the case of a DVD, not letting Craig see it.
"Sit down Ville, Craig... you'll see what it is when it plays." He grinned.
