Chapter 28: Bad Medicine

The weekend that followed Pauline as every Saturday has a game with her volleyball team. But this game was her worst. Except that the team lost with score 3-0 Pauline teams didn't win more that 10 points in each set. The coach was so disapointed so was the team.

Sunday morning Pauline wake up with very high fever. She didn't have that high fever when she was younger and now she was slaying on the bed and sleeping all day long. She was up only for 30 minutes to eat something and have a shower. But the luck that time wasn't with her side.

Sometime at the afternoon Pauline woke up with abdominal pains and that wasn't good. A few minutes later her mother walked into her empty room. She yelled a few times and the responce came from the bathroom. Pauline was sitting on floor and her head was above from the toilet. She was puking more that one times. With her mothers help Pauline got up and went for one more time to her bed and slept for the next hours.

The morning Pauline was in the same condition and of course she didn't went to school. About 3.00 pm her mobile phone rung. It was Ava. "Hello." Pauline said with tiried voise. "Pauline are you ok?" "Sorry, i didn't call you yesterday to tell you i'm sick and that's why i wasn't at school today!" "It's ok. I understand..... You're always like that when you lost in a game?" Ava tised and that make Pauline feel better. "It depence! But is the first time i feel so bad ina very long time...." "My pour pour girl.... Do you have any fever?" "Well, 105 degrees fahrenheit you can call it a fever!!" "What? 105 degrees fahrenheit?" "I've that before! And is not my record...." "Wow, you don't have to tell me your record i'm shocked!!" "Ok ok. How was your day?" "Just borning.... The class is empty without you...." "I know that you Samboras do and is working!! And now i feel horible for left you alone with Mr Malone!!" "Oh yeah! My favourite teacher i love algebra!!" "I fucking hate algebra what do you like? There are too many damn numbers!!" " I don't know but i like it. And by the way you got an A+ on Literature. Well done!!" "Hell yeah.... I'm the best i never was!!" "Don't hurry my little girl! You also got a D on Algebra!" "Hey, i told you i hate Algebra maybe you can give me a private lesson sometime....." "That will be nice! I'll teach you Algebra and you'll teach my History, Literature and Latins!!" "Deal! That sounds very fun!!" "Ok,i gotta go Grandma is yelling..." "Ok, tell her i said hi!!" "I will and i'll hope you get better soon!!" "Yeah me too. Thanks for calling me" "Oh and call Jesse! He was looking for you today at school, he wanted to tell you something!" "Ok, i'll call him one way or another!" "Ok, then bye!" "Bye!" Pauline hung up the phone and leave it to the nightstand ti her right side.

It was  nice that she talked to Ava. Now she's more reliefed and she was ready to call Jesse. So she took her mobile and find Jesse's number and and hit the 'Call' botton. 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.

  1. Jesse needs to tell Pauline who he really is before she figures it out for herself. As for Zack. Well, he needs to understand that Pauline is with Jesse now which means she is off limits.
