Chapter 30: Get On Stage

3 weeks later ....

Everything was ready for the big perfomance of the A class. The perfomace will start at 20.00. Ava that day spend it in Pauline's house and together they will go to school. The exams were finished the previous week and all passed to the 2nd grade of High School.

However the next year will be taugh especially for Pauline because Jesse had gratuiate. He took his  school certificate yesterday. Of course Pauline was happy for him but she wanted to be with him until she finishes the school too. But she couldn't do nathing about it.

On the other hand Jesse was practising the way will tell Pauline the truth and he didn't found it yet. It was harder than he tought but he have to do it before it is too late. For the three weeks that passed very quickly he didn't saw very often Pauline. Because with the trainnings and the reherseals was dificalt for the both.

In addition Zack has the advantage. He was spending more time with Pauline. He knew that Pauline was with Jesse but deep inside his heart something is telling him she'll be available at some time soon. When they were together Zack was trying to do something but Pauline was a good actress and was avoided him with an excelent way. Plus Alex and Ava were there all time and Zack had no choise and he was just staying away from her.

Ava and Pauline were at her room. In just two hours they have to leave Pauline's house to go to the shool. This time the one who was nervous was Ava. "Could you stop that?" Pauline asked while Ava was walking across her room over and over again. She was doing this for half and hour. "If you keep doing this i'mm need new floor!" Pauline added and laughed. "No, i can't stop! The last time you were nervous and today is my turn!" Ava said and continue walking. "And why someone have to be nervous?" "You kidding right? Are nuts? We're gonna play in front of dozens people and you're expecting not be nervous?" Ava asked and stoped for the first time in a while. "Come on Ava! That's stupid! And you're gonna be alone! You're with Alex, me and Zack!" "Yeah but if i screw this up? And if i forget the lyrics? And tommorow the news will say that Richie Sambora's daughter doesn't know the lyrics of the songs that her father wrote!" Ava said sad and sut heicy to the bed. "That's bullshit! You 're not gonna screw this up and you're not gonna forget the lyrics! I'll be be right there on your right!" "I know but....." "There are nbot buts! You can do this this BECAUSE YOU CAN!" Ava laughed and thought that songs come from life. "You're right! I'll do it!" Ava said and hugged Pauline. When the broke apart Ava said "Thanks!" "That's why we have friends!" "Not just friends.... best friends!" Ava said amd smiled and Pauline smiled back to her. "Now you Sambora get your little ass and go to get dressed!" "Yes, Kidd! I love when you talk like that!" Ava said and went to the bathroom to change her clothes.

About one hour and a half all the Timson family and Ava were at the school. The perfomance will take place at a stage that they set just for the day. Each band made a CD with the lyrics of every song and while they'll play the lyrics will appear at the big screan behind the stage. 

Everyone was at the backstage. First were Female singers. Next Male singers. After that Pop Bands. And last Rock Bands. On corner of the back stage Pauline and Ava were waiting for Alex and Zack. "Where the fuck are they?" Ava asked holding her phone. She was calling Alex more than 20 times and he didn't answer. "Ava calm down! Everything is gonna be alright!" Pauline finished her sentence and Zack with Alex walked in the room. Ava run to Alex and kissed him. All three came back where Pauline was sitting. "Alex where the hell you where?" Pauline asked him. "I'm sorry! My phone run out of battery i left it at home!" Alex explained. "Good! Now we have some people to win can we make it?" "YEAH!" they all answered. "Why?" "BECAUSE WE CAN!" all said and put their hands together like the Keep The Faith cover of the album. "Let's do this!" they said and made their ways to the stage.

They sky was black with some clouds. They stage was big and everything was ready for the last band to perform. The lights were down and allow to Alex first to take his seat. Next Zack behind they keybords. Then Pauline on the front of the stage. The audience start screaming. The same time Richie had arrived to the school from London for the next two days. He found Pauline's family and all together went closer to the stage. On the first raw just opposite to Pauline was Jesse. He smiled at her when he saw her and she smiled him back with one sexy smile. 

The lights went to Zack when he start to intro of Runaway. Then the all the stage was lighten. Ava came almost running from the backstage and start singing  the first song, Runway. While she was singing she saw her dad and that made her more calmy.

When the first song finished Pauline without lossing any minute she start one of her favourite intro. It was Raise Your Hands turn. The crowd went crazy. They all start dancing and bouncing at the beat of the electric guitar. Even Zeta was singing the song and dancing. 

Second song finished. This time the band left the audience to aplaud them. Ava reached the mircophone "Good evening and from us! I hope you have a nice night and we hope to make it even better! The next song was a big heat of the band and still it is..." Ava finished and Zack starting David's favourite intro, Livin' On A Prayer! Pauline also started the talkbox. The crow start dancing again as they recognize the famous intro. Ava was no nervous anymore. It was like she was at her home and start singing. On the chorus Ava wasn't singing alone all the crowd was knew the lyrics.

Third song done. Now it You Give Love A Bad Name. Ava said the first lyrics and went back left Pauline to play the intro as she was dancing like Jon at this song. The energy of the song was all over her and she couldn't stop dancing. And since she was young this song was one of her favourites to listen it live. At this song Pauline was doing a great job in vocals abut also on guitar. When the solo time came Pauline was praying to play it perfectly. It was one of the mosy dificult solos she had even leart. Plus Richie was there and that was one more reason to be nervous. But she playing more than perfect because he can.

Forth song finished. Ava came in front of the stage abd said to microphone. "Thank you! Now enought with the rock songs! It's time for a love song or not?" Ava asked the audience but only fans and Richie understand which song will be next. And he was impressed. They didn't play this song live anymore but they have to start it. On the back screan they lyrics came out as Ava was singing.

Fifth song played. They were halfaway from the end of the show. Five more songs and they'll know who will be the winner. Alex had started to giving the beat of I'll Sleep When I'm Dead and Pauline followed him with the guitar intro.Ava was doing the same... dancing around. Richie was wathcing her from the crowd and left nothing but proud. After all that she been throught she was happy. He tried not to think about the day that Heather told him she doesn't want her anymore. But harder was to tell her. She was a taugh girl and she doesn't want to see her again.

Four more songs. Ava after a long time she talked to the crowd. "Are you ok so far?" And  a big "YEAH!!" came for an answer. "Good! Now the next song is one of my best friend's Pauline favourite song to hear it live! Let's go....." Ava said ans Pauline start the In These Arms intro. Pauline was looking for Jesse. She has saw him before in the crowd before the show had started. She was wondering if she was still there. But she stop wondering when she saw him. He was smiling at her as he was sound singing the song. Jesse also likes this song. His dad wrote it for his mom when he was on tour and he wasn't missing her like crazy. 

One more song finished. Three more songs. Ava reached again the microphone. "Thank you! we don't have more ballads but we have this! Come on Alex turn up the volume......." Alex on drums and Pauline on talkbox together started one of the well-known song of the band, It's My Life! The girls start creaming the Alex's name and the boys Ava's. The stage was on fire even the principal of the school was dancing to the way he can to the song. Somewhere to the audience Zeta was out of control. She was bouncing and singing next to Richie who was rolling his eyes. "I love this song!" she said to Richie. "Thanks! I love this one too!" he answered. "Oh the solo! COME ON PAULINE!" she screamed with all the voise she had. Pauline heard her and after finished the solo she pointed her and winked.


Eighth song done. Two more. Alex with Pauline start the intro of Have A Nice Day and from the back screan the HAND face was flashing. Ava was singing and dancing at the same time. She never thought that someday will do that. Everyone in the band was out of control. Pauline was doing expretions like Richie's at the solo. She could't control herself and she just let it free to the music. Pauline form the first time she heard it on Youtube she loved it and she wasn't the only one. 

Nineth song performed. One more song and it's over. When the audionce stop aplauded Ava reached to the microphone for the last this evening. "Thank you thank you! The last song is from Bon Jovi's new album! If you didn't baught it yet i'm sure after that you will....." Ava said and took a step back while Alex start the last intro for today, Because We Can. All this time the band was trying to learn the song not in lyrics but in music. It was dificalt and in guitar and on drums and on the keyboards. But they make it work because they can. It was also pretty amazing that some people on the crowd were singing the song with Ava and that make Richie feel wonderful. As the song was continuing Pauline was getting closer and closer to ava for the solo. They had the idea to do what Jon and Richie did on the video clip of the song and that actually worked.

The tenth song was finished. Alex and Zack left their seats as the lights went down. A few seconds later the stage was shining and the band was hand-in-hand and they raised them on the air. The crowd was going wild. The were screaming like crazy.

After that all the kids get on stage to hear the results. The band was hugging closer and closer as Backett will announce the results. The nervousness was in high levels and everyone was waiting for Mr Backett. He didn't keep them waiting for any longer. He get on stage with an envelope on his hand and he get closer to the microphone. "Ladies and gentleman i'm not gonna keep you nervous anymore! Here i got the results!" he said and raised his right hand with the envelope. "The winner of 2013 who will win a check of 250$ each to spend them on a music store is....." he paused and the kids on the stage were about to blow out. "Congratulations goes to....." he said and he opened the envelope and he read it. "The winners are Zack Richards, Ava Sambora, Pauline Timson and Alex Wilson or 'Bon Jovi'!!!"

The guys when the realizied that these were their names start hugging and kissing each other. Fireworks were on the sky and the crowd was aplauded one more time these kids. "Come here please!" Mr Backett said and the band went to the center of the stage with the principal. Mr Backett after kissing each one he gave them their checks and took some photos.

After taking their checks they went backstage. There everyone congatulated them. With a lot of trying the get to a small room to change. "Man i can not believe it!" Zack said as he closed the door behind him. "Me too either! You saw how 'One Direction' were looking at us?" Ava said exited. "Yeah! Wow that was sick! You guys heard that the crowd was creaming your names right?" Pauline asked and pointed Alex and Ava. "No, i didn't hear them! I was on stage singing and dancing i couldn't hear anything!" Ava answered first. "I did! They were some nices girls in the front raw!" Alex said and put his arm to Zack's shoulder. "What?" Ava asked and raised an eyebrow. "I'm just kidding honey! Now i can say Tico is the lyckiest guy on earth!" "Why?" Zack asked and he sut on the chair. "Beacuse he has the best view in the house! But i think i'm luckiesit than him!" "Ohh Alex!" Ava said and get closer to him for a kiss.

After chancing clothes and took their staff they were ready to go. But as Alex opened the door he closed it quickly. "What are you doing?" Pauline asked him. "We can't go! There are some girls out there...." "Well you can't but Pauline and i can!" Ava said. "And you're gonna leave us here for the rest of the night?" "No, we'll go out together. And i'm gonna kill any bitch that is trying to get close to you!" Alex hugged her and kissed her. "Mmm i think i like that!" "Ok guys can we go out please NOW!" "Chil out Richards we're the winners after all!" Alex said and went to the door hand-in-hand with Ava and Zack withPauline followed.

As they walked Pauline saw Jesse on the crowd shaking his hand to her. She left the guys and went to find him. With a lot of trying she fanaly manached to esceap from the crowd and found him. He was standing there wearing his favourite pair of blue jeans and Pauline's favourite t-shirt. When he saw her Jesse runned to her place and hugged tight. "Congratulations Paul!" he said when the broke apart. "Thank you!" she answered and trying hard not to blash. "I got something for you...." he said and from behind his back a single red rose make its appearence. Pauline put her hands to her mouth and looked supriced. "Oh Jesse it the most beautiful rose i've ever seen! Thank you thank you!" she said this time Pauline was hugging him tight and kissed him passionately. "You deserve it! You're awesome!" "Come on stop it you make me blash!" "Ok i'll stop! I saw you looking at me at In These Arms!" "To be honest you were the only one i was looking at In These Arms!" Jesse with his hand put away the hair from Pauline's face and placed a sweet kiss to her mouth. But Pauline now was on fire and she couldn't kissed him this simple. Her left hand went to the back of his head and kissed him back with passion. Jesse let Pauline's taugn explor his mouth. As she contiunue ti kiss him with more and more passion and left Jesse out of breath. "Oh i'm sorry!" "Why you don't kiss me like this everyday?" "Because i'm not playing on stage everyday!" "And if you play everyday on stage after the show you'll kiss me like that?" Jesse asked her and start walking hand-in-hand. "I think yes!" "Ok, now i gotta go i have a show to prepare..." "Jesse!" "I'm just kidding honey.....But if you want to do this again let me know!" "Ok, but i won't!" "hey that's not fair!" "And who said love is a fair game?" "Ok you got me! How you do that?" "Do what?" "Saying things that i can't answer?" "I don't know and i've thought of that! I'm just saying them! That's all!!" "What i'm gonna do with you?" he asked and put his hand around her shoulders and kissed her to the head. "Don't ever leave me!" "That was escatly what i had in my head!"

A few minutes later after saying their goodbyes with Jesse Pauline was going to her family. It was dark and she could't recognize them. But when she saw Zeta running to her place she was sure. "Congratulations! You heard me when i shout out your name?" "I winked at you!" "Oh yeah!" They walked together and here found Richie and Ava. "Oh Pauline you're amazing! I love the solo of Livi' On A Prayer!" her mother said first and hugged her. "Thank mum!" "Pauline you were.... i don't know what to say!" her father said and hugged his daughter. "Thanks daddy!" When they broke part she looked at Richie. He made his hand like a punch and Pauline hit it like a punch too. "You know if Dave was hear what he'll do?" he asked Pauline. "I think he'll fire you and Jon?" Richie nobbed his head "And he'll be right...." "Come on King stop it! You make me blash!" "Ok ok i stop!"

They talked for almost half an hour all together and then everyone went to their house. It was a very tought day for everyone. Pauline when they arrived at home she went straight to have a quick shower and went to bed and slept for the first second she closed her eyes.

Chapter 29: Preparing For The Battle

Pauline now was fully recovered and came back to school. Their lives were back to normal well as normal can it be.

Pauline sometimes before felt asleep she was wondering how she got there. Just in a years she changed house and went to the other side of the world. But the most inpotrant was she met Jesse. She didn't know how many times she had thanked Ava for that party both had stop counting it was unusless.

She was lucky or very lucky to meet a boy like Jesse even her father liked him and that's mean a lot. Everyone knows how protecting fathers are with their daughters and they want to perfect guy for them. To take care of them. To love them. To protect them.

Is doesn't matter that they were young at the age. They must learn from young to protect the people they loved and that Jesse must to do, protect Pauline.

At this point of his life Jesse knew everything about the young lady he met at Ava's party. He had made his deciosion he'll tell her. He couldn't take it to his grave. And it was weird that Pauline all this time they were together she didn't ask him his last name. Ever.

He had to listen to his dad and Ava. These two for the firts day of their relantionship were talling him to her the truth before is too late. And now Jesse was ready. It might took it a little but the result is what it counts the most. He had to wait till June.

They had the final perfomace on 9th of June. He'll tell her at the 13th and that was final. And he was happy about it. He didn't have to hide for long just for 3 weeks.

All the team was at Ava's house. It was middle of May and the weather was perfect to sit next to the pool. They must find a playlist today. They left for the last day and that was against of them. Pieces of paper were all over the place. Other on the table other on ground in paper balls these were the most.

"Cone on guys we're here for three hours and we didn't conclude!" Alex said put his pen away. "We could finish it sooner if you knew some songs better!" Zack pointed out and he was right. "Yeah Zack is right Alex...." Pauline said looking at him "Hey you all know that i like this kind of music but Bon Jovi isn't my favourite band...." Alex said and tried to be kind. "They aren't my favourite band either but we can't give up now....." Ava said and start looking for an empty piece of paper. "Ok people i got an idea!" Pauline said with the look of having a very good idea. "Oh i know that look...." Ava said half smiled. "Why don't we start for the bigining? Is easier to play songs with an orden rather thatn  radomn songs!" Pauline pointed out and grabed the attetion she needed. And she continue "So first song Runaway? Do you all agree?" Everybody nobbed and Pauline write it down. "Please can we play Raise Your Hands next?" Zack had an idea too. "Mmm that works for me i like the energy of this song and the intro...." Ava said and drunk a sip of her coke. "Ok Raise Your Hands then!" was Pauline's answer and write it down. "Livin' On A Prayer then. Next You Give Love A Bad Name." Alex said with cofident and all raised an eyebrow. "What? These are their song right?" "Yeah but you said you don't like them!" Pauline said as she write them down. "Well i don't but i like these two songs!" he answered. "And from the 90's This Ain't A Love Song and I'll Sleep WHen I'm Dead?" Ava asked. "And In These Arms! I love this song live!" Pauline said exited. "It's My Life and Have A Nice Day!" Alex suggested again. "I like this songs too! The drums are perfect...." "You busted Alex!" Pauline said and all laughed. "Whatever!" "And for the last song?" Zack asked and start think about songs. "Maybe one from the new album?" Alex asked and hide his face with his hands. As the others thru him a paper ball "What? I saw it on facebook!" They laughed again. "So Beacause We Can?" Pauline asked and looked to the other three and all agreed.

As Pauline write the last song all four singed reliefed. "Finaly we finished!!" Ava said reliefed and she get back to her chair. "What are gonna do now?" Zack asked. Alex mind was running with miles of speed and he has the same look Pauline had a few ninutes later. "Alex what's in your dirty mind of yours?" Pauline asked Alex. "You know that i have a car right?" all nobbed "So let's go a ride to eat something!" "That's sound nice!" Pauline answered. "What about Jesse?" Ava asked "He's on trainning now and he finished late...." she said wished he can come with them. "It's okay maybe some other day..." Zack said half smiled. "Come on let's go!" Alex said and stund up. "I'll take the playlist and tommorow i'll give you copies!" Pauline said and she put the palylist to her pocket of her jeans.

They left the Sambora house but first they let know Richie where that were going and what time will bring Ava back. On the front seat Alex sut with Ava and on the backseat Pauline with Zack. On the route Zack was trying to get closer to Pauline. He didn't know that Pauline knew how he was feeling for her. Pauline had to let it go because Zack was her friend and always be. Ava from the front seat could see from the mirror Zack was getting closer and closer while Pauline was staring out of the window. She have to protect her best friend from that. Ava cleaned her throat and Zack pulled back. "Guys do you want some pizza?" she asked. "Yeah pizza is great!" Pauline answered first. "Yeah i want pizza too!" Zack agreed. "You honey you want pizza?" Ava asked her boyfriend. "If you want pizza i want pizza too!" Alex said sweet and placed his right hand on the top of hers.

Pauline on the backseat she saw the scene and she wished Jesse was there with them for many reasons. Firstly, she didn't like going out without him because she was feeling lost and uncopleted. And second Zack must understand that Pauline is not avelable. She signed and Alex parked his car on the parking lot of the pizzeria.

The sut on a corner table. Ava next to Alex and Pauline next to Zack. They ordered two pizzas and four pepsis. While they were waiting for their food to arrive they were talking for almost everything. Here Pauline realized that Zack was a very good guy and she sure will do something with him if she wasn't in relantionship with Jesse. He was funny, kind and very good looking guy. He was taller that Jesse blond with light blue eyes. He also has a two year old oldest sister. He's quite buff because since he was 7 years old he practises on swimming.

They finished their dinner at the pizzeria and Alex as the driver he start leaving his friends to their houses. He first left Zack because he was closer to the pizzeria. Now they were Alex, Ava and pauline on the car. "Pauline you handle very good the issue with Zack! Well done!" Alex winked at her. Pauline raised an eyebrow. "You know too right?" "I was the first to know! I'm his best friend for 11 years!" "Wow!" "Hey but don't worry he's not gonna do something!" "I hope so...."

Several minutes later the reached Pauline's driveway. Alex stop the car and Pauline opened the door and get out of the car. "Thanks guys! I had a good time today!" "We had a good time too, didn't we?" Alex said and looked Ava who nobbed. "Hey you too hold back a little! I don't want to see Richie mad!" Ava laughed and answered "He's on tour remeber?" "I know that but it seems that someone else here forget about it! And when he will be back?" "He'll be back the day we perform from UK and then he'll leave 3 days later!" "Mmmm! Ok thanks again guys! Bye!" Pauline said goodbye to her best friends and went to her house.

Sunday morning at the Timson house. Pauline woke up almost at noon. She dressed up and ate her breakfast quickly she has jobs to do. When she take care of whatever she had to she start to looking for het talkbax set. She was sure she bring it with her from Greece. She took the chair of the desk and get over it. Above the closet were boxies and suitcases. "Where the fuck i put it?" she wondered when she found it. "Here you are!" She took to her hands the small box and climb out of the chair.

With the first look was in good condition but she has to try it. So, she put her electric guitar on and she took in her hand Richie's guitar pick. Pauline set the talkbox and it was ready. "Let's see what you got here buddy!" she said and start with her favourite intro of Livin' On A Prayer. But the sound was very very hight and her mother with her sister came running to her room. When they walked into the room Pauline stoped. "What? I'm just practising in a song!" "All the neighborhood got it!" Zeta teased. "Zeta!" "I'm sorry ma!" "Pauline could you please practice just a little lower on the volume?" "Yeah mum i'm sorry! Is for the perfomance on June and we need talkbox! I'm sorry!" "It's ok.... Now we'll leave you to practice!" her mother said and her with Zeta left Pauline's room.

Late the same day Pauline was on her room playing the guitar and she wwas trying to learn Because We Can. She was just playing not singing until someone walked to her bedroom. Pauline didn't notised and continue playing. "Hey Jon Bon Jovi can you stop playing the guitar for a second?" Zeta joked. Pauline stoped and turned to see her and laugh. "It seems Richie Sambora wants something huh?" Pauline joked back. "How do you know that i wanted to talk to you?" Zeta asked and sut on the bed. "I know when you want to talk to me. And i saw you on lunch you were lost! Am i wrong?" "Come on you gotta stop that shit! And how do you do that?" "Do what?" "Knowing that something is bothering me and you don't do anything!" Pauline put away the guitar and sut next to her younger sister. "If you want to talk about it i'm here you know! Remember what i told you the last time?" Zeta nobbed. "Good! Now spill it up!" Zeta make herself more confirtable to the bed and answered. "Do you remember the guy i told you i like?" "Justin?" "Yeah, you remember his name?" "I always remeber guys names...." "Ok, he asked me if i want to be his girlfriend!" Zeta said very quickly and Pauline didn't heard her. "What did you say? A replay please?" Zeta sighed and say it again loud and clear. "Justin asked me if i want to be his girlfriend!" "Ooo! And what did you said to him?" "Well i didn't answered him yet!" Pauline raised an eyebrow and ask "What do mean?" "I mean that he asked me but i'm not so sure. He might be sweet and funny but i don't know him very well!" "Listen, i didn't knew Jesse either and look we're together for 7 months! Everyboby deserves a chance! The point is if YOU are willing to try with him or let him go...... YOU choice!" Zeta was looking down and her hand was on her jaw. She lifted her head and answered. "You know i'm willing to try and if he screw it out i'll tell him to have a nice day!" "Wow, you turned to a Jersey girl!" "You too!" "I was always a Jersey girl!!" "Yeah yeah i know! Thanks!" "For my advise? It's ok that's what sisters are for! Oh and if you screw it up i'll tell YOU to have a nice day! And you don't want it...." "Ok i got it...." Zeta said and half laughed. "Now get out i have a song to learn!" Zeta made her way to the door and stoped. "Richie will be at the perfomance right?" "Yeah!" "Mmmm!" "Oh no don't do anything to him if you want to see the sun and Justin again!" "Ok, but to let you know i like him!" "Good and if you want to marry him i don't have a problem! But dad will have...." "Nah i don't want to marry him for NOW!" Pauline looked at her with her version of Jon's stink eye. "Ok i'm out of here!" Zetra said terified and left Pauline alone and start to playing the guitar again.

On the other side of the Jersey state Jesse was on his room laying on the bed. He had take his decision. It was the time to tell her who he was. No matter what will happend he has to tell her now before is too late.

But he wasn't prepared for what was waiting him. His phone rung and it was Pauline. "Hey Paul! Why you didn't came to school today?" "Hey Jess! I'm sorry i should have called you yesterday to tell you i'm sick!" "You're sick? Are you ok?" "Yeah, i'm fine don't worry......" "Do you have any fever?" "105 degrees fahrenheit!" "Holy shit Paul! That's very hight!" "I have and higher fever some years ago...." "Wow!" "Ava told me you want something to tell me!" Jesse was waiting for that question. And of course he couldn't tell her right now. He must wait to Pauline to recover and then he'll drop the bomb. "Yeah i just wanted to tell you that we lost in the game on Saturday!" "Oh, i'm sorry! We lost too..." "Oh, i'm sure that to the next game you'll kick them ass!!" "Me too. But if you are not at the games we'll always loose..." Pauline said with sad voise. "Why?" "Because you're my luck! When you're with me we win and when you're not we loose! So, can you give me your coach number i want to have a word with him!" those word were like the big and warm sun after the dark and cold winter. Those word were the most beautiful words a girl ever told him and he has to answer with something close to that. "Well i can't say your my luck because if you're ina game if not you're always on my mind and i can't fucous to the game because to my mind always comes a picture with your beautiful smile... You're so beautiful Paul!" Pauline felt like the luckiest girl in the whole world. Which girl wouldn't love to have a boyfriend like hers? But now she didn't know what to anser none said that to her before. She has lost her words. "Pauline are you here?" Jesse said from the other line a little sceraed. "Yeah, i'm here!" "Good! And when do you think you'll come back to school?" "I'm not sure! In two-three days or so?" "Oh!" Jesse said very sad. And this time a very good idea cross his mind. If Pauline can't come to him, Jesse will go to her. "It's ok honey... i'm sure you don't even know how quickly the time will pass and you'll be at school with me again!" "I hope so!" "Now i gotta go! I'll call you at night to tell you good night!!" "I'll be waiting..." "Now get some rest! I love you...." Jesse said with a low voise but so strong and sure in the same time and left Pauline one more time loosing her words. It can hera it from his voise he was meaning what he said and that make Pauline sure because she was feeling just the same. "I love you too..." "Bye!" "Bye!" Pauline said and hung up the phone again.

Now her smile was from the one ear to the other. She was like a clown. She left her phone to the nightstand next to her and took a framed photo. It was Pauline and Jesse in New Year's Eve party. Jesse was on the left with his left hand on Pauline waist. It's been three days by now and she was missed him like crazy. With the fingertips of her thumb she was making ups and downs to Jesse's face. Then she took the frame to her hug and felt asleep.

That night Jesse called her as he has promised. Every time Pauline was hearing his voise she was missing him ever more. Knowing that she has to wait more than three days to see him again and that make her feel more sick.

Bon Jovi's neew album with title 'What About Now' was already on the stores and their world tour has begin with the very big success so far just like every tour. Their last perfomance was on 17th of March at Lubbock, Texas and their next was on the 2nd of April. They were on a break.

Tuesday afternoon. Pauline was on her bed with her laptop. She was a member of the 'Bon Jovi Fan Fiction'. This is a club where the fans can write their own stories for one or more band members. Pauline really was enjoyning reading others fan stories. She was reading when she heard a know on her door. She said "Come in!" without looking who it was. She was sure it was her mother or her father or her sister. But none of them was there. It was Richie and Ava.

"Heather you bitch! Leave Richie and his new girlfriend alone or  i come and kick you little ass! He doesn't want you in his life get over it! Fucking bitch..." Pauline said loudly leaving Richie and Ava speachless. "Oh look at that mum it says ' Richie i'm sorry. I didn't mean to cheet on you.....'!!" Pauline turned her face and saw Richie with a blue shirt and a pair of blue jeans . Next to him was Ava dressed in jeans. "Oups! I can explean that. I wasn't talking about Heather. I mean i was talking but not real. Is a story and it has nothing to do with your mum and your ex-wife. If you don't believe me come and see it by your self!" Pauline said really shocked and she was trying to sound real because it was the truth. Ava and Richie made their way to the laptop and read with their owned eyes that Pauline was telling the truth. "And i'm sorry i thought it was my mum! I've never thought that you'll come to visit me..." "It's ok Pauline at least you was telling the truth! And by the way what is this story?" Ava said calmy. "Bon Jovi Fan Fiction." "What's this?" Richie asked really suprised. "Is a page on the net that you can write and read stories about Bon Jovi's members..." "Really?" "Yeah. I didn't know that since one month ago!" "That's cool.... Do you write your own?" "Of course not... Well i tried once in the summer but i didn't like it!" "Ok then but if you start writting one let me know!" Pauline raised an eyebrow to what Richie just said. "Ok!" she said with a very suprised voise.

Richie was looking around Pauline's room while Ava had already sit to Pauline bed and they were talking. On the left night stand it was picture with her and Jesse while on the right night stand was a picture of Pauline with Jon. On the corner of the room Richie noticed two guitars one electric and one acoustic. The wall above of her desk was full of posters, Bon Jovi posters. They were 3 with the band, 4 with Jon, 3 with David, 3 with Tico and 7 with Richie and some funny staff posters.

"It seems you have a favourite band member Pauline huh?" Richie asked with his sexy voise and grabed Pauline's atettion and look at him. "Everyone dreams about one bad member..." Pauline follow Richie's gaze and answer his with her sexy voise and that suprised Richie a little. "But why you didn't tell it the other day?" "It wouldn't be nice to the others to say that i'm a Sambo girl?" "Hold on! You were afraid to say that?" Richie asked Pauline because he had belived that she doesn't have a favourite band member. "Yes, because i've never thought that i'm gonna see you, talk you, play with you and i've never thought Jon will ask me this!!" "Never?" "Only In My Dreams!" Richie laughed this girl was defently one the youngest and best fan he have ever met. "You know when Ava told me you're a fan i couldn't believe it! I mean you're a teen and your favourite band is a band with old guys. Why?" Richie sound very surious and he really wanted to know why. "Why always people ask me this question? And why not? You're one the best bands of the history of rock. you play is sold out stadiums, you've sold millions albums and you're music is real. Shall i go on?" "You're kidding right?" Ava said with a look very very suprised. "No, i'm not! Don't forget he is your dad...." Pauline answered her. "You're crazy....." "Thanks! I've been told that before!" "Why i'm not suprised!!" Ava joked "You should ask my friends back in Athens and you'll see that you haven't seen anything yet!!!" "Oh, i'll call them...." "And when you do make sure you have lots of time....." "Ok, maybe an another time...." Ava make up her mind. "Good!" Pauline answered and smiled. "I smell cookies...." Richie said and went to the door to smell better. "Cookies with chocolate! Mmm my favourite!! Pauline get better soon and i'll see you around sweetheart..." Richie said quickly and before the girls knew it they were alone.

"I love this guy...." Pauline said. She has comlitely forgot that his daugher was next to her. "Oups! Come on you know what i mean...." Pauline apologizies one more time. "You know if i didn't know you i'll kick your ass! But i'll not do that...." "Thanks! And i'll try to work this out and i'll do it i promise...." "Ok, did you call Jesse?" Ava changed the subject. "Yeah!" Pauline said with her sad voise as she shut down her laptop. 

Ava thought that Jesse finally after all their talks and warnings he said her the truth. But Ava thought again if Jesse tols her she should be more hurted but she's not. She is sad. "What's wrong?" "I miss him! I miss you, Alex and Zack too but i miss him too!" Ava could see in Pauline's voise who bad she was missing him and if she were Pauline she would miss Alex just the same or even more. "Hey, don't be sad! In no time you'll be good!" Ava said with a big smile! "I can't wait.... and i'm better that yesterday!!" "You see by the end of the week you'll be just fine trust me!!" "Ok! How is Alex? Zack?" "They are both fine and they are waiting you to come back! We have a playlist to do remember! And Zack gave me this...." Ava said and she was searching for a bag. "Where i left it?" she wondered and stand up from the bed. "Oh there you are!" she found the bag on her desk and pass it to Pauline. "What's this?" Pauline asked. "I don't know! Zack gave it to me this morning when i said yesterday that i'll visit you..."

Pauline opened the bag and inside were a box with chocolates with hazelnuts, a drawing with Pauline playing guitar on stage and a note. Pauline read.

Hello guitar godness,

Who are you doing? We miss you there at school, at the cinema and in our place :(
Is really borning without you! I miss your jokes and your laugh........

I hope you get better very soon!! :)

Zack.

Pauline as she read she realizied that this note wasn't as friendly as she wanted to be. She realizied that Zack maybe was in love with her. Her mind full of memories with Zack. The smile on his face when they were at the same team in Music class. The disapointed when she told him that she's with Jesse. Their hug and now this. And where the hell he know that chocolate with hazelnuts were her favourite?

"What does is saying?" Ava said with a little gossip voise. "Nothing inportant!" Pauline said and put the note on the envelope. "And what's this?" Ava asked and took Zack's drawing in her hands. "A drwaing!" "I know that smartass! And i can say that is you!" "And? He just draw me playing guitar that's all!" "Zack is in love with you...." Ava said clear but when she finished she put her hands on her mouth and had a thrilled look on her face because that was a secret. "What? No no no! We're just friends aren't we?" Pauline said and looked at Ava who was still shocked. "You think you're friends. But what he thinks about it?" "No, this isn't true! I love Jesse and i don't want to lose him. Zack is a friend and i think he always be!" "From your side..." "Ava what do you mean? Are you surious? Zack loves me?" Pauline asked as her temper was loading.

Ava avoid to see her in the eyes. "Ava please answer me! I have to know! Please....." Pauliune beged for the truth. Ava turned and look at her. "Yes." she dromp the bomb, the very secret bomb. "Oh no...." "I sorry Pauline i didn't have told you this. I promised to him and Alex that i wouldn't say a word to you!" "How long is this happening?" "From the time we're team..." "What? All that time? And he didn't do anything?" "I don't know! Just let's pretend that you don't know!" Ava sugested. "For how long? And if he do something in front of Jesse? I try hard to take his jelousy in logical places and i don't want to screw this up!" "So, what are you gonna do?" "I don't know yet. But i'll think of something....."

For the next hours Pauline couldn't sleep. Ava's word were playing nonstop on her mind over and over again. She couldn't belive it, Zack was in love with her. Now all make sence. She has to think very carefully what she gonna do. Pretend that she didn't know it? Or break Zack's heart?

How can she do something like that Zack is her friend and Jesse is her boyfriend. And what if Jesse find this out? He's gonna defently gonna kill Zack. So, Pauline has to be smart and take this to her own hands. Maybe things will be better if ava didn't told her. But on the other side Pauline wouldn't know Zack's feellings. The feellings that she can't let them go.

This boy did ever give up. He knew for the beginning Pauline was with Jesse and didn't do anything. But he show it with his way and just Pauline didn't notised it.

Late at the next afternoon Pauline was sound sleeping when the doorbell rung. Zeta who was watching tv went to answer it. She shocked when she saw who it was, Jesse. He was holding a bucket of flowers and a chocolate box. "Hi! You're Zeta right?" "Yeah and you must be Jesse! Come in." Zeta said while Jesse was making his way in. "Pauline?" he asked "Upstairs! I think she's sleeping and you have to be silent!" Zeta warned him. "Ok! Thanks!" "It's ok...."

Jesse climed to the stairs and went to Pauline's room. He slowly opened the door and he saw her sound sleeping. He walked in and closed the door behind him. He walked slow and left the flowers and the chocolate box on the desk and stop starring at her. She was so beautiful. Her closed, her cheeks pink from the fever, her lips were red and were praying to be kissed. Her long dark brown hair were on her face. He could stay there for minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years just looking at her sleeping.

He sut on the on the bed next to her and place a sweet kiss to her left cheek. Pauline just moved her arm but still didn't opened her eyes. A few seconds passed and he kissed her sweet to her cheek Pauline did the same again. Then Jesse thought he has to do something else. He get closer to her. His breath hot as he moved down to her favourite spot and placed a kiss.

Pauline opened and rolled her eyes. Now she knew it was Jesse. When they broke he said "Hey sleeping beauty!" "Jesse what are you doing here?" Pauline said and she turned to Jesse's side. "You're not happy to see me?" "Are you crazy of course and i am! I miss you so much!" her arms went to his neck and he get closer for a kiss and Pauline stoped and left Jesse frozed. "Why did you stop?" "I'm sick... remember?"
"Oh come on Paul i'll be fine..." he said and kissed her with the pasion of missing for five days. "I miss you!" he said when they broke apart. "I think that i miss you tmore...." she said with a light smile.

Jesse stand up and went to the desk "Where are you going?" she asked but he didn't answer. In addition he show her the flowers and the chocolate. "These are for you honey....." he said and gave them to her. Pauline took the bucket and smell it. "Mmmm they smell very good..... and oh my God my favourite!!! How did you remeber?" "I'll never forget your favourite chocolate baby....." she just smiled. He was so cute with these blue jeans and this white sweater. "I have an idea let's eat them!" Pauline suggested and Jesse agreed. He sut down on the bed next to her. "Oh not there! Come and lay down with me in the bed!" she said and her brown eyes where black from desire.

Jesse looked at her and did what his girl ordered. He kicked off his shoes and went to the other side of the bed. He pulled the covers away and layed down. He put Pauline on his arms and start eatting the chocolate. They are feeding each other like an adult couple. When the finished Pauline said "Thank you!" "For what?" "For all this and first of all for visting me! I couldn't live if i didn't saw you for more days...." Jesse smiled and placed a sweet but passionately kiss to her lips. When the broke apart Jesse's eye had been caught of one poster of his dad. He looked better it was an another one and another and another. On the right night stand was a picture of Pauline with his dad. "What are you looking at Jess?" "I know this guy.... Bon Jovi right?" Jesse said pointing the framed picture of her and his father. "Jon Bon Jovi! Bon Jovi is a band!" Pauline said annoying because everyone does the same mistake. "Ok got it! Where do you saw him?" "On my birthday! The best fucking birthday ever..... aaa this is what i call birthday present!!" "Wait a second your parents called Jon Bon Jovi to your birthday party?" "No, they said that they didn't know he'll come and i believe them. I'm just a lucky bitch as my friends call me...." "Only for that?" "Not only for that and for other things!" Pauline said and kissed him. "Hey that's Ava's dad!" "Yeah, my favourite!" "I can see that..." Jesse said with sexy laugh. "Are you jelous?" "Me? Jelous? Not i just never thought you'll have that much posters!" "Next time i'll make poster with you!" "I saw the frame..... and i have the same on my nightstand to say good night and good morning to you every day and night!" Jesse said with a voise low and sweet. "Me too!" Pauline answered and they kissed.

For the next minutes no one spoke. They just stay together hugged. That time Jesse realized that Pauline was sleeping in his arms. Her face was to his chest and her hand to his belly. He could give anything to sleep like this every night. He made himself more comfortable to pauline's bed. He turned his head above Pauline's. His right hand was on Pauline's waist and left above Pauline's on his belly. He felt asleep.




 

Chapter 27: One More Warning

The next day Pauline woke up before lunch. She was still in the bed. In her mind was the last night and more specifically their dance. She doesn't feel like that for anyone else in her whole life. Smiling at the memmory she got up and went to wear some clothes.

Downstairs her mother was cooking the lunch. Yawning Pauline walked to the livinh when her sister and her father were sitting. "Good morning 'Sleeping Beauty'!!" Zeta said sarcastickly. "Shut up Zeta!" she just answer. "Dad did you heard her?" "Yeah, i heard her! Pauline i told you that i don't want to talk like that!" "I'm sorry dad but she started!" "Well, yeah Zeta you started!" "It's not my fault. She just wake up at 14.00!" "Yes, but i slept at 04.30!" "That late? I heard you coming!" "I was waiting Jesse to arrive at his house!" "And he arrived?" Zeta asked again wanting to pissed off Pauline for one more time. "Of course and he arrived. And what's your problem sis? You don't like 2013?" "I like it but i wake up with nerves!" "Anyway i'm gonna eat some breakfast!" Pauline said and went to the kitchen.

As calm was at Pauline's house as nouse was at Jesse's house. Jake and Romeo were opening the presents that Santa Claus bring them. Jesse was walking dow the stairs with a big smile all cross his face. It can be ssen for miles away who was responsible for that smile. "Good morning!!" "Jesse look what Santa Claus bring me!" Romeo said very excited showing him his train and the tarin rails all over the living room. "Wow! That's really big. How about you Jake?" "Santa bring me something for the big guys!" he said with pride and showed him the castle with the nights and the horses. "Yeah, that's for sure for the big guys!" Jesse said almost laughing as he sut on the floor with his two 'little monsters' as he called them. 

Dorothea walked out of the kitchen and Jon was following her. "You're up big man?" Dorothea asked Jesse but Jon answered. "Yeah, 2 hours ago! You asked me again in the kitchen Dot!" "Jon i didn't ask YOU! And you're not big man you're an old man!" "Hey, i'm not not old just older honey!" "Ok ok! Jesse how was last night!" "The best! Your night?" "Pretty good. Grandma nad grandpa wanted to be with us!" "Yeah, i know." Jesse said a little sad. "Daddy?" Romeo asked while he was playing with his train. "Yes?" "Ava gave me the CD with the perfomance in Christmass. And i was looking Pauline and wondering do you know whre she lives?" Jesse, Dorothea and Jon raised an eyebrow. Jesse was looking at Jon waiting for his answer. "No, i don't know where Pauline lives!" "Maybe you can learn?" Romeo didn't give up. "I'll try! Why are you asking anyway?" "I'm just saying....." Romeo blushed and Jesse was about to exploed. "Romy don't you think that she's a little old for you?" Jesse asked him. "You wouldn't ask this if you were with us. She said that i'm gorgeous and she hasn't have a favourite member!" "Oh really?" "Yeah really!" "Ok, that's it! I'm going to my room!" Jesse said a little pissed and left Dorothea and Jon with no words.

Jesse was already in his room sitting on the chair of his desk when he heard a knock on the door. "Come in!" he said and Jon opened the door and closed it behind him. He sut on the bed in front of his son who was defently pissed but he didn't know the reason and that is going to find it out. "Romeo is right! Why don't say to Pauline to come over the house and have dinner with us before the tour starts!" Jesse didn't know what to answer. How can he say to him that he didn't told her his last name in almost three months. "I don't think so. An another time later!" he answered without looking at him. Jon now knew that something wasn't right, he wasn't stupid. "Look at me Jesse! In the eyes!" Two pair of beautiful light blue eyes met. "You din't tell her?" "No!" he simply answered and got up. He was staring out of the window. "How could you Jesse? She's a smart girl and a fan!" Jon's voise was calm but his temper was starting to loading. "I realised that yesterday!" he finally said and turned to face him. "That she's a fan?" "Yeah. We were dancing and she whisper to my ear a chorus of one of your songs!" "Which song?" "You Had Me From Hello!" "Oh, beautiful ballad! It isn't so well-known!" "Yeah i know and she suprised me because she didn't said anything!" "Anything?" "Yeah and i dodn't know why." "When i first saw her...." Jon before finished his sentence Jesse stoped him. "You have seen her before?" "Do you remember the day that Romeo fell off the stairs?" "Yeah and you were at the Soul and mom called you!" "That day i met her!" "She didn't say anything like that. I mean about you or the band but she has a Heart & Danger neckless!" "I've that before! Look Jesse you have to tell her as sooner as you can before become to hard for you!" "What do you mean?" "I mean that she can get mad at you and she'll be right!" "I want to tell her.... i really do. But i can't. And i know what i'm doing is wrong but we're the perfect couple we eat the same pizza, we both have spinach. Damn we have the same damn bloodtype!" "Listen Jesse you have to tell her tomorrow! Before i leave for the tour i want Pauline to know and stop waisting the time!" "Ok dad i'll tell her. I promise!" "Good! Now get some rest and i'll tell you when luch is ready!" "Ok, thanks!" Jesse answered to his father with a smile as he left his room.

Jesse knew that his father was right and he was saying this for his owned good but he wasn't ready. He wants to know Pauline like anyone else could ever know her. And this will take a lot of time.

Jesse's tommorow turned to weeks, to months. It was the first days of March. For the next three months Jesse now knows more thing about Pauline. Well as much as he could beacuse with their trainnings, games and studing was a little dificulte but somehow the manach to find time for each other.

However, there were some quarrels. Jesse like a Bongiovi started taking all the control and that wasn't good all the times. He start jealous his owned brothers. But his real enemy was Zack. From the day he saw them hugged he felt something. He might hide it from both Pauline and Zack but something very deep inside him was telling him to keep an eye on him. A very close eye.

12th March 2013. Bon Jovi's new album came out to the stores. That day Pauline has not training to go in the afternoon so she went to buy it. All that was a little strage for her and that was  perfectly reasonable. From the day her family moved to New Jersey her life was turned upside-down. She had made two of her dreams come true and she conitnue for the rest.

She was sitting on the buss in her hands was the album and her mind start making its owned way. That day that her father told her they'll moved out. Hell, that day was so so sceared but she didn't show it. Her presents. The neckless, the photo album, the album. Her birthday. How can she forget her 15th birthday? Ava. Not even in her most wildiest dreams she could imagine that she'll become friends with Ava. And on the top of that she'll meet all the band. And she played the guitar with Richie. Maybe Maria was right. Maybe Pauline was the lucky one.

Lost in her own thoughts she almost passed her bus stop. But even whaen it comes to the bus stop was lucky!

It wasn't too late. The sky was already black cover with scattered stars. She signed and unlocked the door and went to the house.

Inside the house for her big suprice Zeta was watching TV alone. "Finaly you came! I'm waiting for hours!" Zeta said watching her walked into the house. "Are you alone? Where are mom and dad?" she asked and she left her coat on the couch. "Shopping! Where were you?" "I was on the Mall to buy something!" Pauline answered trying to hide the album. "I saw it. And to be honest i like it!" Pauline raised an eyebrow "What?" "Really! Is a little weird and i like it!" "That's good! I'll be upstairs if you want me something...." "Basically i want to talk about something!" "Ok got it! I'll not turn up a lot the music and i'll not play electric guitar!" "Is not that i want to talk about!" "Then what?"

Zeta turned off the TV. She was surious and that sceared Pauline. "Sit!" she said simply and made some space from Pauline to sit. "It must be something inportant! You look surious. Is something at school?" "Well, you can say that too!" "Is from shcool or it isn't?" "It's from school!" "You had a fight?" "No no no. Don't even close to that! There is a boy...." "Oh! Yeah Bad Medicine! Your love is like bad medicine. Bad medicine is what i need!" Pauline was singing the lyrics of the song. "Hey hey Jon Bon Jovi stop!" "I'm sorry! There is a boy and...." "Well, two or three days ago i'm not so sure that boy in the class was looking at me and he was always behind me." "Aha and you like him?" "It's sweet with blond hear and green eyes and he plays volleyball too!" "Ok, i got it! You like him. And his name is?" "Justin...." "Nice name. So if you like him and as it seems he likes you too go for it!" "You thing so...." "Listen, is not about what you THING is about how you FEEL. You have to listen to your heart and not what other people say!" "Thanks for the advise sis. You were right you're the 'Doctor of love'!" "Come on you make me blush! And remember i'll always be there for you...." Zeta smiled "I'll remember that one!" "Good! Now i'm leaving i have some songs to listen and learn!" "Oh NO again. Shout throught the heart....." "You learn fast..." "Yeah yeah whatever!!" Zeta said and turned on the TV while Pauline was on the stairs watching her. "My little sis get old. Let's see she'll be happy?" Pauline wondering and she get into her room.

She turned on the lights and she placed the new album with the others. The kicked off her All-Star and layed to bed. She may didn't know if her sister will find the lover of her life like she did or that's what she tought. She was defently love with Jesse. It was something about him. She didn't know him very well but they'll have the rest of their lives to know these things.

They were making plans for the future. They both wanted a beach wedding maybe in Hawaii they weren't sure about the place. And then for the honeymoon and cruise on the Greek islnands will be perfect. And lots of kids and a house next to the ocean or in the river. They had made their plans. Now let's see if live will let them make these plans come true....

Chapter 26: New Year's Eve

Three more days and 2012 will belong to the past. For the Timson family will be their first New Year's Eve in New Jersey so for the Sambora family. Pauline was studing her homework when her phone rung. It was her friend Ava. "Hello?" "Hey Pauline it's me Ava!" "Yeah, i know." "So, i'll get staight to the point. Alex has his birthday on the 1st of the January so in the first day of the new year. And guess what he found? Or better where we're gonna go?" "Where he is gonna take you?" "Oh no no! He's not take only ME!" "What do you mean?" "He has an invitation for 4 on...Six Stars!" "Where? YTou're kidding, right?" "No, i'm not kidding at all. And we thought that it would be a nice idea to go as couples, me with Alex and you with Jesse!" "Sure why not....I mean.....Six Stars...woh!! But where the hell hr found them?" "He knows people!" "Good then. I'll call Jesse and ask my parents and i'll let you know!" "Good. And wear something nice!" "Of course and i'll wear something nice!" "Good i'm waiting!" "Ok, see ya!" "See you!" Pauline answered and hung up the phone.

Who is she gonna tell that to her parents? They want to have a nice night at home. And just in a second their daughter is invited to best club in Jew Jersey for the New Year's Eve. Pauline put her phone to her dest and took a deep breath. It's now or never she told to herself.

Downstairs her mother was reading a book, as always and her father was watching a football game on the TV, as always. "Mom. Dad. I want to talk about something!" "Sure honey what is about?" her mother asked and she put away her book. "Well, as you know in three days 2012 will be gone." "Pauline you know that we hate prologues. Get to the point!" her father said as he closed the TV and turned to face her. "Well, Ava's boyfriend, Alex, has his birthday that day. And somehow he found 4 invitations for a club. Ava called me this morning and ask me if i can go with her and Alex!" "Well" her father started. "You know that is our first change of the year here and i want you all to be here!" "Yeah, dad i know!" "Listen Pauline." her dad started again. Pauline knows that her dad doesn't like that at all. She was soo afraid of his answer. "You can go!" Pauline was reliefed more than ever. She went a gave her dad a huge hug and two big kisses to his two cheeks. "Don't rest on young lady there are some rules! You will be in your bed at 3.00.  Don't drink very much. Don't talk to stangers. And take care of yourself!!" "Yes, sir. I swear i will not let you down. I swear to God! Thank you again daddy!" "And Pauline the invitation in for 4. Who will be the fourth?" her mother asked. "Ava said that is would be nice go as couples. So, she will go with Alex and i will Jesse!" "I can't wait to meet him!" her mother said a little exited. "I think you gotta love him." "I hope so." "So, Pauline what the name of the club?" her father asked suriously. "Six Stars!" "Six Stars? In Perth Amboy?" her father asked little worried. "Yes!" "Be careful there young lady. And when that Jesse arrived here to pick you up i'll hav a chat with him." "Dad please don't scare him!" "I'll not scare him. Will talk man to man." "Ok then. Thanks again. I'm going up to call him!" Pauline said and went to her room to call Jesse.

Jesse on the other part of the town was in his father's office playing the guitar his this father. The 'Because We Can-Tour' will start in a few weeks. So, the guys have a little more time to spend with their families before the toour will start. "Wrong key there man!" Jon said to his first son and he placed his fingers to show him the correct key. "Okay dad i got it!" Jesse said and continue playing and this time played to correct key. His phone was in the desk and start runging. Jesse put away his guitar and went to answer it. When he saw it was Pauline a big smile apperaed to his face. And Jon notised. "Hello beautiful!" Jesse said. "Hi gorgeous! I want to talk about something!" "Yeah... sure." "Well Ava called me this morning and she and Alex invited us to Six Stars for Alex's birthday. And my father let me go." "To Six Stars? Oh man i always wanted to go there! When are Alex's birthday?" "The 1st of Junuary." "Oh! So we have to be there on New Year's Eve?" "Right! Is that a problem?" "No no not a problem. I'll come and pick you up and go there together. Is that ok?" "It's fine. And when you'll come here my dad wants to talk to you man to man he said!" "Yeah!" he said rembere when his dad want to talk like man to man. "What time you'll came to pick me up?" "About 22.00!" "Ok, i'll be ready by then!" "Ok, honey see you there!" "Bye. I love you!" "I love you too!" Jesse said and hung up his phone and his smile was ear to ear. He'll spend the first hours of 2013 with the most beautiful girl on the planet. "That was Pauline right?" Jon asked his son with a smile. "Yeah!" "Are you going somewhere on New Year's Eve?" "Yes, on Six Stars with Pauline, Ava and her boyfriend." "Six Stars huh? You know that the tour will start in a few weeks, don't you?" "Yes, dad i know that but who many times i'll go to Six Stars with my girlfriend on New Year's Eve? Only one!" "Look Jesse i really want you to go there. I really do but i can't!" "Yes, dad you can. You're the Boss. You can do anything!" "I know how you feel right now. But we'll selebrate New Year's Eve here. Your grandparents will be here and all of your uncles and your cousins!" "No, dad. Why uncle Richie let Ava go? And you don't let me? And i'm 2 years older than Ava!" "Ava is a different situation!" "No, dad. Just uncle Richie is better father than you are!" These words were a knife throught Jon's heart. He couldn't believe that his son said that words. Jon was shocked while Jesse had already left him alone to his office. Jesse was heading to the kitchen to drink a glass of water. "I shouldn't had said that! God damn the Bongiovi fucking temper!" he tald to himself and he sut on a chair. His head on his hands. How that was possible? Pauline's dad let her go and his don't. All this because of  a fucking tour.

Jesse stund up from the chair he needed something stronger than water. So he put himself a cup of coffee and went to the living room. He sut on his favourite place, opposite form the fireplace. Now he watching that sparks than fire made and wishing he couldn't talk to his father like that. He drunk a sip from his coffee. Jon was watching him from the begining of the living room. He could feel that he was in pain. Jon took a few steps in order to get closser to him. He made a noice but Jesse didn't notised. "You always like sitting in front of the fire since you were a little boy!" he said his voise was calm. "May i sit?" Jon asked and Jesse nobbed. Jon sut next to his son watching the fire. "Dad i'm sorry. I shouldn't have talked to you like that. I know that with the job you're doing you really miss us. And we miss you a lot. And i understand that when you're here, at home, you try to replenished the time you lost when you're away!" Jesse said and looked him in his eyes. "Look Jesse, i know how you're feeling right now. I was in your position many years ago. Your mother and i we just starting dating. It was New Year's Eve on 1979 if my memory don't fool me. And the band i was in we had a day off to spend this day with our families. When i told to your grandfather that i want to go out with my girlfriend he said that i don't and i'll stay here to help my mother make the dinner. I was so mad at him. I went to my room and i started thinking what i can do to go away. As you know when i was a kid i wasn't an angel. So i put some pillows under my bed and left from the window and went to find your mother. That night was one of the best in my whole life. I was saving money from the summer to go there. But my little story had no happy end. When i came back my father was waiting me in the living room. And then we had a fight. I didn't play a gig for the next three months and he also took my carkeys and he was driving me to school. And now you're in my position and i don't want to do the same with me. Because you'll try the window and it's a little high. To sum up i'll let you go!" Jon opened his heart to his son. He was more honest than ever. Now Jesse was in shock. "Dad you never told that story before!" "I was waiting the best time!" "Thanks dad!" Jesse said and hugged his father. "You're the best father i could ever ask for! And i'm sorry if my words hurt you. I have to deal with my Bongiovi temper!" "Good luck with that son! You'll need it!"

Three days later. Pauline hasn't know yet what she'll wear. It was the first time she'll spend New Year's Eve without her parents but with her boyfriend. She was starring at her closet for the last three hours and she doesn't know yet. She thought that music might help. So she found her phone and pushed the play botton. Three songs later If God Was A Woman by Richie Sambora came out.

 Pauline start singing and when she sung 'If God was a woman would you be impressed if she showed up in high heels and a pretty red dress'. A few miliseconds later she understand what she sung and that was. She stand up and start searching for the red dress that her father bought her on the Easter. She remembered that she bring it with her but she didn't know where she put it. Finally she found it on the last hanger on the left side of her closet. It was inside a black bag in order to keep it clear. Pauline put it out of the hanger and place it on her bed. She slowly unzipped the zipper and here it was. The red dress was at the hight of her knees. It was tight and she thought Jesse will love it. She smiled at her thought, Jesse. She shooked her head to clear the thought and came back to the beautiful red dress.

Now, she was wondering if she was fitting in. It's been a long time since the last time she weared it. Without losing any minutes she weared the dress. It was fitting her like a glove. It was perfect for her. Now, the lasy detail was the shoes.

She left her room and went to her parents room to find high heels. She opened her mother's closet and on the bottom she founds packs of shoes. She opened them all. She has to find back high heels whick will match perfectly with her red dress. She opened to her last box and there they were. A pair of beautiful high heels.

Then she put back the boxes and went to her room to get ready for the big night. She showered and shaved. But the times wasn't with her side. She checked her phone it was 21.15 when she got out of the shower. She has to be fast if she wants to be ready when Jesse will arrived.

She quickly weared her red dress and her mother's black high heels. She was at the mirror fixing her hair and putting some make-up on when she heared the doorbell.

Downstairs Zeta went to answer the door. "Hi. You must be Jesse. Come in!" Zeta said with a smile. "Thank you, Zeta!" Jesse answered and walked in the house. In the living room Kostas and Katerina were waiting for him. "Hello Mr and Mrs Timson! I've heard so much about you!" Jesse said without forgetting his manners than his mother teached him. "We've heard so much about you too! Have  a sit. Do you want anything to drink?" Katerina asked. "A glass of water will  be fine Mrs Timson!" Jesse answered and he sut on the couch. "So, Jesse where do you live?" Kostas asked. "My family and i live in Sayreville here in New Jersey,sir." "Any brothers and sisters?" "No, sir. I'm an only son." "Good. Now, i want to talk to you lake man to man. You already know that Pauline is 2 years younger than you. Today is her first New Year's Eve that will spend out of the house. She's my girl and she always be. And i want you to take care of her tonight and all that time you will be together!" "I promise sir i'll never bag happend to Pauline. I promise i'll not let you down, sir!" "Good. I told her that at 2.00 she must be at home." "She'll be sir!" "Thank you!"

Moments later Pauline was ready. She stand in the bigging of the stairs. She slowly start walking down to the living room. Both men and her mother heard the footsteps and got up. Jesse made his way in front of the stair. And here she was walking down the wooden stair. She was so beautiful with that tight red dress. Her dark brown hair were in a little curles at the hight of her shoulders. Her eyes were shining as always. And her lips. Her lips were pink and he couldn't wait to taste them. "You look stunning, Pauline!" Jesse said when Pauline walked down the stairs. "Thank you. You look so gorgeous!" "Thank you!" "Be careful there and dron't drink too much!" her father said. "Yes, dad." "And don't be late!" her mother added. "Ok,mum!" "Have fun!" Kostas said as the young couple had made its way to Jesse's car.

Jesse opened the door and let Pauline climb in his car. Jesse made his way to the driver's seat. The club was about 30 minutes. At the route they talked about their days. When the arrived at Six Stars Ava and Alex were there waiting for them.

All four went into the club. It was defently the best club that they had ever gone. It was huge and the atmosphere was really cool. They sut in a table that Alex reserved for the day. A few minutes later a waitress  came to take their orders.

In 30 minutes will be 2013 and Alex will be sixteen. After their drinks arrived they start talking about everything it crossed their minds. It was a nice company and a funny one.

While they talking a guy took a microphone and said "Good evening ladies and gentleman! I hope you have a great time here in Six Stars. Now, i want all of you to stand up with your drinks in your hand and your boyfriends-girlfriends on the other. Is time to say goodbye to 2012 and welcome to 2013! Let the countdown begin!" "TEN" "NINE" "EIGHT" "SEVEN" "SIX" "FIVE" "FOUR" 'THREE" "TWO" "ONE" "HAPPY NEW YEAR!!" all said.

"Happy New Yea..." Pauline started but Jesse stoped her. "You must make a wish first baby!" "Ok!" "I wish i'll past the rrest of my life with Jesse in my side!" Pauline wished. "Hey Jess you must make a wish too!" "Ok!" "I wish i'll past the rest of my life with Pauline in my side!" Jesse wished and smiled to Pauline.

Now, it was time for Alex to take his birthday presents. "Happy birthday Alex!" Pauline said first and gave him his gift. "Thanks Pauline! And you shouldn't have bought me a present!" "No, i had. I hope you like it because i went to more than ten stores!" Alex opened his first present and i was a green shirt that matches perfectly with his green eyes. "Oh Pauline thank you. I love it!" Alex said and hugged her. Then Jesse and Ava gave their birthday girfts to Alex.

"Ava let's go dance!" Alex said and gave his hand to Ava to stand up and went to the dance floor. Now, it was Jesse and Pauline. Jesse took a sip of his drink and said "Hey, Paul would you like to teach these kids how do dance?" "What's on you little, dirty mind of yours? And why you called me Paul?" "Follow me and will see!" before Pauline could answer Jesse took her hand and went to the dance floor next to Ava and Alex.

The music wasn't for slow dances. Just the opposite. It was the music that teenagers used to listen and dance. Mostly rap songs and some remixes.

And then the love songs came. The songs for the lovers. Jesse took Pauline tp his side. He placed his hands on her waist. She placed her hands to his shoulders and her head was on his hard chest. They were start dancing slow. "You know and if i've never told you i just want you to know you had me from hello!" she wishper to his ear. Her breath was hot to his ear and that make his feel sick for two reasons. First, that was driving him crazy. And second, he recognize the lyrics. She was defently a very big fan and she was. "I can say that too, Paul!" "Why Paul?" "Because you're dressed like that. And i love that tight red dress. And i call you Paul just calm myself! Do you have problem with that?" "No. Just my friends called me Paul!!" Jesse didn't answer with words he answered with actions. He kissed her passionately. She let his tongue explore her mouth while she was doing the same with her tongue.

They were dancing for almost 2 hours bit the good thing don't last forever. Both had to be home. Jesse had promosed to his father that would't take long. And to Pauline's father that will take care of her and take her home safe and sound. So it happend.

Jesse pulled to Pauline's driveway and he stopped outside of her house. "Jesse thank you for tonight. I love it!" "I have to thank you. If you weren't i would have spend one more New Year's Eve at home!" "Why you didn't told me that you dance like that?" "You mean in slow dances?" "And that but mostly the other dances! You were pretty cool!" "Thank you, Paul!" Then they said they kissed goodbye and Jesse left Pauline to her house and took his way back home to Sayreville.

Chapter 25: Misunderstood

Pauline and Ava start getting ready for the performance. "Pauline please pass me your mascara!" "No!" "Why?" "Because you're Jon Bon Jovi and i don't think that he uses mascara!" "Oh! I've totally forget it. But what i'm gonna do with my hair?" "Mmmhmm! You can put them in a ponytail or leave them down. Whatever you like the most!" "I'll take the second!You?" "I'll do the same." "Good. Now go to get dressed." "I don't know where my bag is!" "Is right there on the corner. You left it there when we're back from the studio!" "Oh yeah! I've forget it." Pauline said and bring her bag while Ava was already dressed with the red jacket and a black pair of jeans and black shoes. "Are you ok?" She didn't answer. "PAULINE!" she yelled "What is it?" "Are you ok?" "Now, i'm ok.Ask me when we're on the school!" "Don't be silly! We'll do it just fine! And gorfet Jesse will be with us!" "Yeah i know. But all this is alittle weird. I mean playing live 3 songs of my favourit band and one of them we'll be there watching us! That makes things more complicated!" "That's why you're like this? I should have know this. You don't have to worry about this. I sure he wish he could play like you can at this age!" "Do you really believe that?" "Of course and i believe this! Now no more worries. We have some asses to kick!" "Ok. I'm going to change!" "Ok, i'll be right here!"

After 5 minutes later Pauline walked out. She was wearing a tight black pair of jeans with the 'Blessed' t-shirt. On her head was Richie's cowboy hat. Her dark brown hair were in the same height as Richie's in the 80's and the early 90's. "Whoa! And now i can imagine how my dad was in the 80's!" "Do you think so?" "Yeah! Does he gave you his hat? He don't even allow me to touch it!" "Nope. I made it!" "Good job! Is seems the same!" "Thanks!" "Now let's go!" "It's time!" Pauline answered and took a deep breath.

They went downstairs Ava in the front and behind her Pauline with her giutar case in her hands. Downstairs Richie was waiting with the car keys on his hands. Joan was next to him. "Holy fuck!" Richie said when he saw them on the stairs. "Richard Stephen! Language!" "I'm sorry ma!" The girls were completely come down the stairs and stand in front of them. "Girls you look so stuning!" Joan said. "Thank you grandma!" Ava said. "Come on my girls! Let's go, we're late!" Richie said and went to the door. "When he say 'my girls' he meant and me?" Pauline whispered on Ava's ear while they walked out of the house. "Yeah! He really likes you. I hope he doesn't want to marry you!" "Yeah me too!" Ava raised an eyebrow. "For two reasons. First, do you know how many woman will hate me? And second the only man i want to marry is Jesse!" "I'll not commeny the first reason. BUt for the second i agree!" "Me too. Now get in!" Pauline answered and Ava got in the car and sut on the backseat with Pauline next to her.

The four of them get in Richie's Hammer and start for the school. Almost halfaway on the route Pauline phone rung. It was her jovi sister Maria. "Greet the the luckiest jovinator ever!" "Hey you! How things are going in Greece?" "Pretty good. Are you on the road?" "Yes, how do you know?" "You said the the perfomance starts at 20.00 and you have to be an hour before. I remember that your house in 30 minutes away from school. And then the time deference and i find it!" "Woah! You din't do that this often!" "Yeah, i said do it once in a while!" Richie turned on the radio and when Maria finished her setence Every Road Leads Home To You intro started. All start looking to each other and from Pauline's phone the intro heard loud and clear. "Oh my God it's Every Road! How you ever hear it on the radio? I've never! Please tell your dad to turn the volume!" "No, i din't! Please wait a second!" "Hey Rich could you please turn the volume?" "Yes madame!" he answered and turn the volume. "Thank you!" "Happy now?" "I heard right? Did you said Rich?" "You heard right?" "You are in Richie's car?" "Yes!" "You're a LUCKY BITCH!" "Yeah, i know i am. But isn't it weird to hear this song with all of his family?" "What?Is his mother with you?" "Yes!" "Of course and she is!" "You are kidding? How is she?" "Adoranle and a great cook!" "Lucky bitch!" "A! The mistery is solved! He missed her birthday!" "I know it. And you answered him what we planed?" "Yeah and he said that i think more than he thought! Now this is good or bad?" "Darlin' whatever he say is for good!" "Well i gotta go now. I'll call you tomorrow!" "Ok good luck!" "Thank you!"

They arrived at school and Richie parked his car. The girls went straight to backstagewhile Joan and Richie went to find Pauline's parents. On backstage Alex and Zack were their earlier. Ava went and hugged Alex "I missed you Ava!" he said when they broke apart "I miss you too Alex!" Ava ansswered and they kissed. Zack was looking for a long time Pauline "What's wrong Zack? The clothes don't suit me?" "NO, you look gorgeous!" "Thanks you too! Who did you do your hair?" "My sister help me!" "Gongratulations to your sister! Very nice curles!" "Thanks he answered and tried not to bluss.

About 20 minutes later everything was ready to begin. Pauline was still nervous. She wanted to find her parents in the audience. While she was looking for them from the corner her eyes caught something else. "No, this is not happening!" She looked next to David it was Tico. Next to Tico was Jon with Dorothea and next to them were Jake and Romeo. "SHIT!" she said and Ava who was behind she hear her. "What's happend?" "Look!" she said pointing them "My uncles are here to hear us!" Ava answered calmy "Now i'm more nercous than before!" "I think i know a person that can makes you forget everything!" she said and left.

Just one minute later Jesse came. Pauline was sitting with her back turning on him so she didn't see him. Jesse put his arms around her waist and kissed her to her low neck her favourite spot. Pauline turned and say "You came!" and she gently touch her lips to his. "I would miss it for the whole world!" he answered and he kissed her. "Nervous baby?" "From the time you're here, i'm not!" Jesse didn't answer he just hugged her tight. He knew that it was the only thing that she could calm down and he was happy to be the only who can give her that.

The perfomace has already started. They had sung the first two classes. Pauline, Ava, Zack and Alex were on the fourth. They will go on stage last after 'Guns N' Roses'. Thye minutes passed and Pauline was still in Jesse's hug. Ava came and said that after them was their turn. They didn't have much time. "I think i should go to my seat and enjoy you!" "No, please don't leave! I want to stay here!" "Baby i want to stay here too but we have to!" "Yeah, you're right!" she answered and walked away from Jesse's hug. "Does anyone told you who sexy you look on tight jeans?" "No." "Trust me, very much! I'll try to contrlo myself tonight!" "Me too!" Ava came running and said "Pauline come. This is their last song!" "I'm coming!" she answered. "That's it. Good luck. But i'm sure you wouldn't need it. You'll kick their asses!" They kissed for one more timeand Jesse left. Pauline took her guitar and went to fing the other guys. It is show time.

"Ladies and gentleman let's welcome on stage our last contestants. We have Ava Sambora on vocals. Pauline Timson on guitar. Zack Richards on keyboards. Alex Wilson on drums. Please welcome 'Bon Jovi'!!" Mr Backett said.

The light went down while the audience was aplauded. Jesse's seat was just opposite from Pauline seat on stage on the last raw. On the other side was his family. They kids went on stage and the aplause was getting louder and louder. Ava approached the microphone and said "Good evening form us. I hope you have a great time. If yes get ready fom more!" The light went to Pauline as she started the opening chourd of I'll Be There For You and Ava start singing.

I guess this time you're really leaving

I heard your suitcase say goodbye

Well as my broken heart lies bleeding

you say true love is suicide

You say you've cried a thousand rivers

And now you're swimming for the shore

You left me drowning in my tears

And you won't save me anymore

Now I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl

I'll be there for you

These five words I swear to you

When you breathe I want to be the air for you

I'll be there for you

I'd live and I'd die for you

I'd steal the sun from the sky for you

Words can't say what love can do

I'll be there for you

I know you know we've had some good times

Now they have their own hiding place

Well I can promise you tomorrow

But I can't buy back yesterday

And Baby you know my hands are dirty

But I wanted to be your valentine

I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby

When you get drunk, I'll be the wine

I'll be there for you

These five words I swear to you

When you breathe I want to be the air for you

I'll be there for you

I'd live and I'd die for you

Steal the sun from the sky for you

Words can't say what a love can do

I'll be there for you

[Solo]

And I wasn't there when you were happy

I wasn't there when you were down

I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby

I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out

I'll be there for you

These five words I swear to you

When you breathe I want to be the air for you

I'll be there for you

I'd live and I'd die for you

Steal the sun from the sky for you

Words can't say what a love can do

I'll be there for you

When the song finished the aplause started for one more time. Ava went to the microphone and said "Thank you very much. The next song is one of my favourite, i hope you like it!" Zack started the intro of Bed Of Roses. Pauline while she was playing was trying to find her parents. Finally she found them in the middle and next to them were Richie with his mother and his other bandmates. Ava start singing.

Sitting here wasted and wounded 

at this old piano 

Trying hard to capture 

the moment this morning I don't know 

'Cause a bottle of vodka 

is still lodged in my head 

And some blond gave me nightmares 

I think that she's still in my bed 

As I dream about movies 

they won't make of me when I'm dead 

With an ironclad fist I wake up and 

French kiss the morning 

While some marching band keeps 

its own beat in my head 

While we're talking 

About all of the things that I long to believe 

About love and the truth and 

what you mean to me 

And the truth is baby you're all that I need 

I want to lay you on a bed of roses 

For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails 

I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is 

And lay you down on bed of roses 

Well I'm so far away 

That each step that I take is on my way home 

A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night 

Just to see through this payphone 

Still I run out of time 

Or it's hard to get through 

Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you 

I'll just close my eyes and whisper, 

baby blind love is true 

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses 

For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails 

I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is 

And lay you down on bed of roses 

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry 

The barkeeper's wig's crooked 

And she's giving me the eye 

I might have said yeah 

But I laughed so hard I think I died 

When you close your eyes 

Know I'll be thinking about you 

While my mistress she calls me 

To stand in her spotlight again 

Tonite I won't be alone 

But you know that don't 

Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove 

For it's you that I'd die to defend 

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses 

For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails 

I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is 

And lay you down on bed of roses 

While Ava was singing she wanted to look into Alex's eyes that's why somtimes she looked at him and smiled. Alex was luckier than all. Ava was just in front of him. He couldn't take his eyes of her. He knows why they had choose to sing ballads. On the other side of the stage Zack was opposite to Pauline. From the first day he saw her in the class he felt something about her. And when she was in the same team with him in the music class he couldn't hide his happiness. But the key from the paradise of her heart belongs to Jesse.

Finishing the second song with aplause biger than the first. Ava took a step forwoard and said "Thank you very much. Now for the last song we choose one more ballad with video clip that matches with the season!" They started All About Lovin' You intro. Ava took the microphone with her two hands and start singing for the last time tonight.

Looking at the pages of my life

Faded memories of me and you

Mistakes you know I've made a few

I took some shots and fell from time to time

Baby, you were there to pull me through

We've been around the block a time or two

I'm gonna lay it on the line

Ask me how we've come this far

The answer's written in my eyes

Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new

That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more

I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time

When I look at what my life's been comin' to

I'm all about lovin' you

I've lived, I've loved, I've lost, I've paid some dues, baby

We've been to hell and back again

Through it all you're always my best friend

For all the words I didn't say and all the things I didn't do

Tonight I'm gonna find a way

Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new

That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more

I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time

When I look at what my life's been comin' to

I'm all about lovin' you

You can take this world away

You're everything I am

Just read the lines upon my face

I'm all about lovin' you

 Solo

Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new

That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more

I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time

When I look at what my life's been comin' to

I'm all about lovin' you

Pauline while she was playing was trying to find Jesse. She have to find him. This song was one that descibes what she felt about him. Finaly she found him. Opposite from her on the last raw looking at her. Her eyes locked with his. They maybe be apart but he felt like she was there next to him. Or better they were alone and singing together this song. He could feel who passion she felt just looking in her brown eyes. On the solo brow eyes met blue and stuck here for several seconds. This time Jesse felt an onother pair of blue eyes looking at him, his father's.  He has his seat in a place that he can contact with him. Jon from the begging of the song he was looking Pauline and Jesse. He could understand from the way they look each other that they are in love. When Jesse turned and face him Jon wiked at him and Jesse did the same.

When the perfomance was over everyone went on the stage to hear the results from the judges. The principal start announcing the results an he finaly arrived at the last class. "The two finalists from A4 class are..." he paused "Plaese step forwoard to... 'Guns N' Roses'!!" Mr Backett said and the audience start aplaused. "And now the last of the rock bands..." "I remind you that the contestants will perform 10 songs in front of all school. The students will vote their favourites. The winner or the winners will have a check of 250$ !" "So,the second finalists are... 'Bon Jovi'!!" Mr Backett said and they hear a "Yeah!" that came from the four kids. The audience stand up and aplauded. They deserve it.

Then they all went to backstage. Other they were sad and other they were happy. Ava was as always in Alex's arms. Zack hugged Pauline. Now he has  the excuse to huf her. But Pauline wasn't feel like that about Zack. He was her friend and nothing more at least for the moment. Wondering if Pauline will find out how Zack feels about her. 

Jesse whes heard that they passed he went backstage. On his way he saw them. Pauline... his Pauline was in onother man's arms. The well known Bongiovi temper was sold. With big and quick steps he walked to their side. Pauline saw him coming angry so she left from Zack's arms. "Pauline what's going on?" he asked. "Nothing is going on Jesse!" " You were hugging him!" he answered and he start loosing his temper. "Jesse calm down we didn't do anything bad. We just hugged because we make it. That's all!" Pauline expleined but Jesse didn't believe her. "Look Jesse Pauline is telling the truth we didn't do anything. I know that she's with you and i will never do anything!" Zack added. "Jesse this is the truth. And try not making fast conclusions!" "Oh! Pauline i'm soo sorry! I saw you hugged and i thought that... you know. I'm soo sorry i should have a little faith in you!" Jesse apologiesed looking Pauline in her eyes. "Jesse it's ok! And before you make fast conclusions think!" "So we're okay?" "Yeah, you're okay!" she answered and they hugged in from of Zack. This moment he felt his heart broke into a milions little pieces AGAIN. "I have to go!" he saidquickly and left. "Congratulations! You see i'll told youyou'll make it!" "Thanks! Do you like it?" "I don't like it, i love it! Maybe music is your destiny!" "I'll never quite volley!" "Ok ok! Nervous for June?" "You have alot of time ahead of us!" "Yeah, you have! Let's go now!" "Yeah about that! I'm sorry of saying this but we can't leave together. My parents are here and i'll go home with them!" "Oh! Alright then. I'll call you tommorow to hung out or something!" "Ok, i'll wait! Bye!" "Bye!" Jesse said and left.

A few minutes later Pauline and Ava were looking for their families. After several minutes of searchjing they found them all together talking. When Romeo saw Ava coming he run to her side yelling "AVA!!" When he came close to her Ava hugged him and said "Hello little man!" Romeo looked her with his stink eye "Oh! Sorry big man!" "That's better!" Romeo turned to Pauline "Hi! My name is Romeo." "Hello Romeo. I'm Pauline!" "Pauline you're beautiful!" "Thank you very much. But the gorgeous here is YOU!" Pauline said and Romeo blussed. "My daddy should hear this!" he answerd and left. The girls follow him. "Here are the winners!" Kostas said when the girls arrived. "And Richie Sambora in female edition hits again!" David joked. "Please David stop that. I'm not!" "Yes, you're!" Richie answered "No, i'm not!" "Yes, you're!" "GUYS!" Tico yelled "I'm sorry!" Richie said first. "And the Leo attacked to our little Cancer!" Davis joked again and everyone laughed exept Richie and Pauline. "I didn't attacked to 'our little Cancer'! And who do you know that i'm Leo?" "Richie told me!" David said pointing Richie. "Ava told me!" Richie said pointing Ava "What? You know my zodiac and now i know yours!" "Ok!" "Hey Pauline Romeo told me that you found him gorgeous. Gorgeous than me?" "NO? You just said NO? So is not me, Richie?" "No." "David?" "Nope!" "Tico?" "Nah!" "What the hell? You don't have a favourite member?" "No, i love you all and i can't pick any of you!" "Good answer!" Tico said with a proud smile.

They talked for several minutes and then everyone went home.
