Saturday noon! Pauline get back grom the gym a little earlier to have the time to get ready. Fow one more time she doesn't know what to wear.  She excluded the red, brown and green. She reached in a light blue pair of jeans and a yellow T-shirt. She put her perfume and put her mobile in the back pocket. With the chocolate pie in her hands she get in her mum's car. After 20 minutes they arrived at the Sambora house. Pauline said goodbye to her mum and she was starring at the house! It was huge! It has 2 levels and it was painting in soft colours. She walked in the hallway and rung the bell. "Yeah?" "Hey Ava it's Pauline!" "Ok!" Ava said and opened the external door. Pauline get in and closed it behind her. When she was halfaway Ava opened the door of the house.

"Hey Pauline come in!" Ava said and Pauline walked in the house. On the couch was sitting Richie who immediately got up to meet Pauline. "Dad here is Pauline. Pauline here is my dad!" Ava said. "Nice to meet you Pauline!" he said and gave his right hand to Pauline. Her eyes went staright to his little star tattoo. "Nice to meet you too Mr Sambora" Pauline said and she gave him her right hand too. "You can call me Richie darlin'!" "Ok!" "I smell chocalate!" Ava said. "Oh! I made that for you i hope you like it!" Pauline said and gave to ava the cake. "Thank you very much!" was Richie's answer. Ava took the chocolate pie in the kitchen and left in the living room Pauline and Richie. Pauline was looking at the living room. It was too larg with 2 corner sofas, a very big fireplace and also a very big TV. On the other side of the house was a piano. Behind the piano was the garden and  a very large pool. "Pauline do you like the house?" "Yeah! Very much!" "I'm glad that you like it!" Richie answered and smiled.

Ava came back to the living room and said "Pauline let's go to my room and do the the project!" "Ok let's go!" Pauline answered. "Girls do you want to bring you something to drink?" Richie asked. "Yeah dad if you can bring us iced tea is in the fridge!" Ava said and turned to Pauline "Do you like iced tea?" "Og course and i like it!" Pauline asnwered and smiled. "Ok then go upstairs and i'll bring them in a few minutes!" Richie said and the girls climed on the second floor. When they get in in Ava's room Pauline sighed relieved. "Are you still nervous?" Ava asked. "No! It was too easy!" "Good! Now let's do the project!" "Ok! Do you have the questions?" Pauline asked when she sut down in a chair. "Yeah here they are! I looked at them before and the book doesn't have them all and you know what that means?" "Yeah! We'll serf on internet!" "Exactly!" Ava said and opened her laptop. "I've already found some answers do you want to write them down while i searching the net?" "That was exactly what i was thinking. Where do you have pieces of paper?" "In the third drawer." "Ok!" Pauline answered and took the pieces and a pen from her bag and start writting the answers. Ava went on google and start searching.

Pauline and Ava were working when a knoch in the door interaped them. "Come in!" Ava yelled. "Sorry to interrupt you but i brought you the iced tea!" Richie said and he left the disk on Ava's desk next to Pauline. "The time is 14.15 when do you want to eat?" Richie asked and looked at Ava and Pauline. "Now! I'm starving!" Ava said and pauline agreed. "What do you want to eat?" "Pauline have you ever eat sushi?" Ava asked. "No! But i'll give it a try!" "Perfect! Sushi then! I'll call you when the food is ready!" Richie answered and left the room. "Don't tell that he gonna make sushi?!" "No! It may be his favourite food but he doesn't know how to cook it!" Ava answered and both laughed. "Ava can i ask you something?" "Whatever you want!" "He is always like that?" "My dad?" "Yeah, you know with the smile in his face!" Ava didn't answer immediately. She wasn't sure if Pauline has to know about that. But she took the decision to tell her. "The most of the times! Only whem mum abandoned me was sad!" This time Pauline felt so bad about her question. "That was the reason that we moved from LA. You din't know it?" "Actually i thought that only Richie moved in NJ to be close with the guys! Ava you don't know how sorry i am.Just say that i didn't aske this question!" "That was the fake reason! The one i told you was the true reason!" she said and a tear crossed her cheek. Pauline moved with her chair next to Ava. With her hand she wiped her tear and said "Just forget this fucking question! I promise that i will NEVER say ANYTHING about that again! I'm so so so sorry!" "It's ok!" "And if you want to talk to someone just call me." Pauline and looked her in her eyes and they hugged. "Thank you very much!" "Nothing! This is why we have friends!" was Pauline answer kai she smiled. Ava did the same.

The time was passing and they girls were still working on the History project. The bell rung. "Food is here!" Ava said. "Hey Pauline come here to see what i found!" "I'm coming!" Pauline answered and went to Ava." This is for the 10th question. We should put it from the 3rd paragraph and after!" "Yeah you're right."

An another knock in the door. "Yes!" they both said and Richie walked in the room. He found Ava sitting on the chair and Pauline's hands were on Ava's shoulders and she was standing behind her. Just like how he and Jon were sitting when they make a record. The two girls were looking at him. "Dad! Are you alright?" "I'm fine! I just remember something! Come on the food is ready!" "Ok we're on our way!" Ava answered and Richie left again the room.

A few minutes later girls were downstairs. They all sut in the table. Ava next to Pauline and opposite was Richie. When thay sut down Richie asked Pauline. "Do you wan to bring you a fork?" "No thanks i can eat with chopsticks!" "Are you sure?" "Yes! Absolutely!" Pauline said and ate a bite. "Ava told me that you re from Greece!" "That's true!" "Did you like the consert?" "Yes, very much. But Youtube can not imparted the emosotions of that night!" "I'm sorry. Ava told me that you're a fan and i thought that... You know!" "Yes, i know!

"Yeah i've seen them!" "You sing better that them!" "Fine!" Pauline said and put out her mobile from her pocket and gave it to Richie. Ava moved next to her dad to watch it one more time. First was Livin' on a prayer. With the intro Richie rolled his eyes. He didn't exept to be that good!  Is solo he didn't know if he must say anything! It was playing perfectly! Then was Always. Pauline was singing and playing guitar. Melina was playing piano. In the drums was Melina's brother. That was awesome! When the song ended Richie said "If you sing in you shower like that i want to be your shampoo!" Pauline and Ava laughted. "Thank you Richie!"

When the bridge is burning
And i'm losing my faith
And i'm trying to find my way towards to the truth
Like a wild arrow flying
And i'm a blindly running
From everything i thought i knew
Every road leads home to you
Home to you
