“Dudes! Shaun totaly hijacked the suits car! the principal’s sweet *** ferrari!”
A sparkle appeared in Aidens eyes, making Shanook, CJ and Chris groan. The
mischevious grin appeared.
“call shaun and tell him that we’re gonna play a little chicken with the lambo and
ferrari.”
“Are you ******* nuts Hilden? sweet cars like that and you want to play chicken?!? Earth
to aiden, hellooooo!”
CJ said as he waved his hand infront of his face.
“yes and yes in that order to answer your questions cj.”
Aiden said as he pulled his back pack out and put his Dudesons hat on as they walked up
to the school’s double doors. Aiden was bored to death untill his lunch period when he
slid into the lambo on the streatch of road that passed right infront of the school. Cj had
the camera sitting on the front lawn ready to film the stunt with Shaun in the principals
ferrari. Shanook dropped his hand signeling to start. Aiden gunned the engine as the
entire 5th lunch poured out onto the lawn to watch. when they were less then a foot
away, Aiden jerked the wheel fast to teh right. there was a loud scraping sound as the
ferrari swiped the corner of the front of the lambo. There was a cheer up on the lawn as
aidn pulled the car back into the parking spot. Once he was out of the car, he was
snatched by his ear and pulled to the office. He saw that CJ and shaun had made a clean
escape. He sat in the principals office not really listening to her, He was finally sent off
the school grounds, expelled. CJ set the camera in his car while Aiden drove home. He
knew what was comming, Ava had told him annoyingly before he left school that Bam
was gonna eat him alive for ******* up teh front of the lambo. Aiden snorted, it was
nothing that Bam couldnt pay to have fixed. He stuffed the tee-shirts into his back pack
with his jacket, gloves and helmit. he left his snowboard in its case as he kept his DC
boots on.
“What the **** did you do?! How the **** did you get the keys to the lambo?!”
Bam screamed as he came running out of the house.
“Why the **** arnt you in school?!”
“Vito gave me the keys and I got expelled.”
Aiden snorted at Bam. He was livid almost as if he was about to spit fire.
“You ******* got expelled?! What the **** for?”
“A stunt, im sure the tools in the front office called you about it. Like you’d spare the
chance to jump on my ***.”
“Youre high schooling is important!”
“Yeah atleast i waited untill I was a senior to get expelled! I’ll atleast finish when I go
home! My mom wont have to make me get it some ten years after!”
Aiden said hotly, taking a jab at Bam’s GED.
“Dont you ******* talk to me like that! I’m your father I deserve respect!”
Bam screamed at Aiden, who just shrugged it off like Bam hadnt said a thing.
“You’re not my father and you never will be. I dont care if you were teh one that named
me, Jukka is ten times the man that you’ll ever be!”
Aiden yelled back at bam, his face flushing with color.
“You think that these stunts will take you somewhere? I’ve done all this ****! It wont get
you anywhere!”
“Youre a *** damned chicken compared to my dad! He did **** you wouldnt even dream
of doing and I’m just like that! You wouldnt even dream of putting your ***** in a mouse
trap!”
Aiden pushed past bam and made his way into the house, starteling his mother as he ran
up to his room. Aiden grabbed pictures, and anything he could fit into his large duffel bag
at the moment. Bam stormed in behind him shouting and cursing like a sailor with Krys
comming worriedly behind him.
“**** that, you’ll never be my *** damned father! If it wasnt ******* for you then he’d
still be here! I’m going home and you cant ******* stop me!”
He shouted, pushing past both of the adults, pausing only to give his mom a kiss on the
cheek and to say he was sorry. Aiden grabbed the two bags that he left outside the door
and started walking down snakerun driveway.
“Dont just ******* stand there go get him **** it!”
Krys screamed at bam, tears falling down her eyes. She made to run after aiden, but Bam
pulled her back, saying if he wanted to go he could.

Aiden sat on the planeseat, he was going home to Finland, back to the Ranch where Jarno
and Jarppi were. he stuck the ear buds into his ears, the sound of less then jake pounded
into his brain.
I fell asleep last Saturday
Underneath polluted skies
I walked alone on those Jersey nights, and I
Saw the boardwalk start to fall
The emptiness starts to drown
The quiet corners off this town, and I...
Late last night, I made my plans
It was the only thing I felt I could do
Said goodbye, to my best friend
Sometimes there's no one left to tell you the truth
________________________
Krys cried, realizing that her first born child was gone. Maybe it was just because she
pushed him too hard. Aiden never liked bam but she didnt think that her marrying Bam
would be the driving force between her and her oldest son. It would be hard to explain to
Jussi and Syd where their brother had gone and why he wasnt here.
It's gonna kill me: The rest of my life
Let me apologize while I'm still alive
I know it's hard to face all of my past mistakes
It's gonna kill me for the rest of my life
_____________________
Aiden felt bad about leaving his mom and his brothers like that but he couldnt think of
anything else to do. he pulled out his cell phone and dialed his mom’s phone. She didnt
pick it up so he left a message, telling her that he was sorry but that he couldnt stand to
be around Bam any more. That he was sorry that if it was his fault that they fought, that
she didnt deserve to be unhappy because of his screw ups. Bam had no room to talk to
him like he did, he wasnt his father and as far as stunts and pranks went, he was just as
bad if not worse. Jukka wasnt his biological father but he was more one then jesse or bam
could have ever hoped to be.
This is my all time low
Somehow it feels so familiar
Somehow it seems so familiar
I feel like letting go
And every second that goes by
I'm screaming out for a second try
Said goodbye, to my best friend
Sometimes there's no one left to tell you the truth
Bam had always made him feel like what he did wasnt good enough but Aiden didnt
care, Finland was where he belonged so he could do what mattered most to him.
_____________
Krys sniffed as Syd and Jussi brought her flowers to make her feel better. Smiling, she
picked the twin twelve yearolds up into hugs.
“mom, we’re sorry that Aiden left. we’ll do anything you want.”
Syd and jussi said at the same time, making her laugh.
“You boys mean the world to me.”
It's gonna kill me: The rest of my life
Let me apologize while I'm still alive
I know it's hard to face all of my past mistakes
I've got to live with them rest of my life

“Jarppi! Jarno!”
“Good ***! You’ve really grown!”
Jarppi said as he wrapped aiden up into a big bear hug. Jarno gave aiden a pat on the
back.
“Where’s HP?”
“He got a busted leg back earlier. He’s stuck in the hospital.”
Jarppi and jarno started laughing hard. Aiden pulled out the camera and handed it to
jarno.
“I got some good stuff here. I know you’ll love it.”
Aiden said with a smile. but behind his smile he already felt homesick, but, he couldnt go
back now and prove that Bam was right, that he was a screw up. It felt as if someone was
stabbing him slowly with a knife. as if he wanted to cry. Aiden bared a grin as he stepped
out into the cold finland winter. He hadnt cried since jukka died.
This is the mess I've made
These are the words I can't erase
This is my life support, shutting down, for the final time
And it twists like a blade
And kills me for the rest of my life
Aiden stood on a snow bank of the ranch with the pig britney beside him. He got down
on one knee in the snow and put a hand on the stone marker that was set before him.
Aiden hadnt been here since the funeral. The death jump still stood out fresh in his mind
as if it was yesterday. Aiden smiled with watery blue eyes he stood up and turned in the
snow. He was thinking about the great times he had playing human dartboard with jukka
and jarppi.
If you won't forgive me
The rest of my life
Let me apologize while I'm still alive
I know it's hard to face all of my past mistakes
It's gonna kill me for the rest of my life...

Krys slid beside bam, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pulling her into a hug.
Krys sniffed into his shoulder.
“Aiden’ll be alright. he has jarppi and jarno to look after him.”
“i know.”
Krys squeaked. Bam kissed her lovingly ontop of the head.
“Syd the vicious stop it right now! where do you think you’re going with that crowbar?”
Bam caught Syd by his collar and snatched the crow bar from him.
“aww but bam, Vito took our skateboards and wont give em back.”
Syd muttered as he looked up in bam’s eyes. Bam raised an eyebrow before looking for
something over the back of the couch. When he found what he was looking for, he
handed a couple stick of fire crackers and some matches to Syd.
“There ya go kid vicious, remember you gotta twist....”
“I know twist the wires togethers if we want to set em off at the same time I know.”
Syd said in a mumble as he ran off. Krys draped her arms around Bam’s neck as they laid
down on the couch together, wrapping up in a blanket as the snow started comming down
outside.
“youre a bad influence on them.”
“well its not like they arnt genetically programed like you.”
“I mean come on look at their father and look at me.”
Bam rolled his eyes, but continued to rub the sweet spot right behind her ear.
“You’re not that bad.”
“Come on look at the stuff I used to do.”
“I know but i still love you.”
