Chapter 10: Sleeping With A Bongiovi

After that day Jennifer visited the hospital Pauline didn't came to the hospital anymore. That make sure she wasn't kidding. She meaning every word she said to Jon. It's been over a week. She learned new for Jesse from the internet. Every Bon Jovi page was talking about it. Ever her friends from Greece called her and said about Jesse.

But Pauline didn't tell them that she was the only to blame for that accident. She was feeling that way. She thought that Jennifer was right. She must stay away from them for their good. She had already took her decision not to visit the hospital unless when Jesse wake up from the come.

No one had bother her for a week or so. They let her think the things. But Ava couldn't wait anymore. She may promised to her father not to call her. But she knew her better than anyone. She knew how she must feeling. She took her phone and called her.

Pauline was in her room when her phone rung. Checking the ID she saw Ava's picture and number. She thought that something happend to Jesse and pick it up. "Hey Pauline! How are you?" Ava asked. "Good! You?" "Fine!" The next seconds passed into silence. Both didn't know what to say untill Ava broke the silence. "Are you going to the hospital today?" she asked the question that she called her. "I don't think so! And i don't think i'll go there again!" "Pauline leave your stuburness behind and go! They need you here! Jesse is going from bad to worse! They almost lost him twice since you left!" Ava said the truth to her. "What?" Pauline said and she felt like she lost the ground of her feet. "Pauline you know that Jennifer is a bitch and a big one! Don't let go throught you and Jesse! Don't do it for me or anyone else! Do it for Jesse! He needs you here with him...." Ava said as she was fight hard not to let the tears fall from her eyes. "Ok Ava! I'll go and you're right! Thank you!" she said and hung up the phone before could answer.

Back to the hospital Dorothea just had a phone call from her daughter and must leave for the house. She took the carkeys from Jon and drive home and left Jon with Richie alone.

Jon was sitting in a chair his hands on his head. Richie knew him for 30 years and he never saw him like this before. "Don't worry man! Is gonna make it! Is a strong kid like his father...." Richie said and sit there next to him. "And what if he doesn't?" "Jon shut up! You Jesse will wake up!" Richie tried to make him believe he will. "I don't know Rich! It's more than two weeks in coma! Even the doctors don't know if he'll wake up!" "Come on Kidd! Don't think like that! Think positive.... He'll wake up! You'll see!" Richie tried again. He knew how stuborn Jon was. "If he doesn't i'm not sure if would be able to join the band! I want you to promise me right now that if.." Jon started and tried to hold back his tears "If Jesse didn't make it i want you to promise mr that you'll take the contor of the band!" Richie was sceared he never heard Jon talk like that. He can understand his pain. "Jon, we both know that this would not happend! You're the Boss! You're the Captain! Is you nickname after all! Now put a good smile of yours in your face because Jesse is gonna make it! You heard me?" he said with a little raised voise to make him understand this. Jon hugged him tight. He was his brother.

That's how Pauline found them. Jon saw her opening the door and left Richie and got up. "Pauline!" he said. "Hi!" "I thought that you would not come back!" "Well, you think wrong and here i am!" she answered to Jon's question. Richie's phone rung. He talked a little and then he hung up and said "I'm sorry but i gotta go back home!" "Everything ok?" Jon asked a little worried. "Yeah just fine!" he answered and left "Good night angel!" "Good night Richie!" Pauline answered. Now it was Jon and Pauline one more time alone.

They both sut on the chairs outside of Jesse's room. "Jon i want to say sorry about the other day! I should had staued and talk this out!" "You don't have to be sorry! In addition it was really cool! You were about to kill her!" "Really? That bad?" "I was really sceared! The things you said about cheating how do you know?" "Jon let me have my dirty little secrets!" he laughed "Ok, then angel!" Jon's phone was buzzing in his pocket. he pick it up. "Hey Dottie everything ok? What? What do you mean they will not go to their bed till i come back? Ok, ok tell them i'm on my way!" he said and hung up. He got up. "Everything ok?" "Yeah, Jake wants me back to the house right now! I'm sorry but i gotta go!" Jon said and start searching his pockets for the keys. "Oh shit! I gave the keys to Dorothea! I gotta get a taxi!" "You don't have to get a taxi! I have a car remember?" Pauline said and got up too. "Look Pauline i really apreciat what are you doing but i'll get a taxi!" "No way! I'll drive you home! Now walk!" Pauline ordered and Jon walked to the door.

Arriving at the parking lot Pauline unlocked the car and both get in. "Put your seatbelt please!" she said as she put the machine forword. "I hope you don't drive fast!" Jon asked as he wear his seatbelt. "When i'm alone i drive like i play GTA! But today i'll drive carefully beacuse you're in the car too! I hope you're not afraid of speed?" Pauline looked at him with a weird look. "You're scearing me angel!" "I'm just kidding!" she said and left the parking lot.

With Jon's instructions they pulled to the Bongiovi house driveway. It might be night but Pauline could see every detail of Jon's house. It was much biger than she saw it on TV. She has that amazed look on her face like everyone else. Pauline stoped the car. "Here you go! Give Romeo and Jake a big hug from me!" "Why don't you come over and say hello?" Jon asked as he put away his seatbelt. "Me? In your house? have you lost your mind?" she asked thrilled. "Why not?" "I'm a fan remember?" Jon laughed and said "Oh angel! You must know that i showed my house last year! Plus, if Romeo will know that you drove me here he'll kill me if he doesn't see you! So, move your money maker and go!" Jon explained and opened the door and get out of the car. Pauline was in the driver's seat. Does she heard right? Jon Bon Jovi invited her to his house? She shoked her head and got out of the car. She locked it and followed Jon to the main door.

It was just like she had saw it in the internet. The most beautiful house she had ever seen. No wonder why fans call it caslte. Jon put from his pocket the keys and opened the door. "Welcome angel!" he said and let Pauline walked in first and she followed her. Pauline rolled her eyes as she walked in. The floor was shining. "Hey guys i'm home!" Jon yelled and then from the end of the hallway Romeo came running. Jon was on his knees in order to hug his son but he passed him by and went and hugged Pauline. "My big man!" she said "Are you going to spend the night with us?" he asked and made his puppy face which it was hard to say no. "I'm sorry Romy! I just drove your dad home and now i'm going back to my house!" she answered him. "Pauline you gotta see this!" Romeo said and grabbed her hand and leaded her to the big living room. Where Dorothea and Jacod were. "Hey Pauline do you want to play with me?" Jacob asked as she saw her. "Sure!" she answered.

After saying hello to Dorothea Pauline got to her kneens and was playing with Jocob. While Jon have already joined them to the living room and was talkingh with his wife. Pauline's phone rung. The intro of If I Was Your Mother was heard by everyone. "Hey sweetie! Where are you?" her mum asked. "I just drove Jon home! In a few minutes i'll be home!" Pauline answered. Jon checked his watch. the time was 21.27. It was late. Plus is was dark putside and Pauline doesn't knew the route back home. He waved to Pauline and she gave him her phone. "Hey Katerina is Jon! How are you?" "Good! You?" "I'm fine too! Look is really late and i can't let Pauline come back to her house! So, if you don't mind she can spend here the night with us and tommorow morning she'll be at home!" "Jon, i appreciate that offer! But it's no need to get into that truble!" "It's no truble! The boys loved her and they loved if she stay with them this night!" "Sure its not a truble?" Katerina asked again. "Don't make me say this twice! Pauline will stay here! Now tell Kostas and Zeta a hi from me and good night!" he said and before Katerina could answered he hung up the phone and pass it to Pauline. Who was in copmletely shock. "Angel you ok?" he asked. "Yeah! Fine!" she tried to hide how exited she was. "Good! Now Jake what do you want for dinner?" Jon asked his son. "Pizza!" he answered and he continue playing with Pauline.

Dorothea ordered pizzas and she was suprised that Pauline was eatting the same pizza with Jesse. She really liked Pauline from the first time she saw her she thought that would be perfect for Jesse and she saw right. Jon with Dorothea were talking and Pauline with Jacob were playing with his castle. Everything was so quite when Romeo came running to the living room holding a little notebook. "Pauline can i ask you something?" he asked and he took the pencil and sut next to her. "Sure!" "When you were born?" Pauline laughed at his question. "I was born on the 13th of August in 1997!" Romeo smiled and write it down. "Where did you were born?" "In Athens, Greece!" she answered with a proud smile and Romeo write this down too. "Favourite colour?" he asked and looked at her with his light blue eyes. "Purlpe!" she answered and write it down. "Favourite number?" "9!" "Favourite food?" "Steak with potatoes!" Pauline answered and Romeo write down. "What is your zodiac?" "Leo!" "Favourite sport?" "Volleyball!" Pauline answered again and Romeo wrote Pauline's answers to his notebook. These question continued for the next few minutes. Both Dorothea and Jon were suprised from Romeo's question but and from Pauline's answers. When Romeo was done the pizza had arrived.

They all sut in the kitchen. Pauline was between Romeo and Jacod and on the other side were Jon and Dorothea. "So Pauline you said you're from Greece!" Dorothea said. She doen't do this often. But Pauline has something that Dorothea wants to learn all about her. "That's true! I lived there the first 15 years. And we moved 1 year ago here in New Jersey!" she answered and took a bite of her pizza. "This must be hard!" "Yeah, it was! I always wanted to come in USA but i've never thought that i'm going to live there!" she answered to Dorothea. "How long have you been a fan?" Jon asked. "Since 2009!" "Wow! Since you were 12 you were a fan?" Jon asked amazed. "Yeah!" "You're too young to be fan!" "To be honest my mum has a crush on Guns N Roses and one day we had a fight and went to the internet to see who is their biggest enemy! And i found you! Plus two weeks after i saw a show on TV and i heard It's My Life. I went again to the internet and learnt that day more than 4 songs!" Pauline axplained them her story. "You were always a Sambo girl?" he asked again. "I had my first Jovi chrush on Joker!" Jon almost spill out his cola "On Joker? And not me?" "I had and a crush on you later! I would be crazy if i hadn't!" Pauline answered. "Oh you make it up now!" Jon answered and took the last bite of his pizza.

About an hour ago when they had finished their dinner they sut to watch a movie to that 'small' TV screan in the living room. Romeo found his seat in Pauline's lap. When the movie was finished, Romeo had already fall asleep in Pauline's lap. While Jacob was already in his bed sleeping. Jon took Romeo to his room and then got back to the living room. 

Midnight has passed one hour ago. "Come on angel! It's time to go to bed!" Jon said and got up from the couch. "Yes, Captain!" she answered and did the same. "I'll to bring you Pauline something to wear from Stephanie's closet!" Dorothea said and left first leaving Jon and Pauline behind. "Follow my lead!" Jon said and they both left the living room. Jon turned right to the hallway full of pictures of the Bongiovi family. As they walked they passed by some pictures. Pauline stoped to the picture of Jesse as a baby. Jon took a few steps further and he realized Pauline wasn't follow him. He stoped and saw her looking at this frame. Her eyes were full of love and sorry. "Angel you coming?" "Yeah, i'm coming!" she answered and took a last look in the picture and left.

Jon opened the door and turned on the light to the guest room. "Here you go!" he said and walked in. Pauline holding a pair of Stephanie's pijamas walked in behind Jon. "Now get some rest before the little monsters wake up!" Jon teased. "Ok!" she answered. Jon was about to leave the room when Pauline's voise stoped him. "Jon, thank you for tonight!" "I thank you for everything!" he answered and gave her a good night smile and he closed the door.

Pauline kicked off her All-Star. She left the jeans on the a chair and the t-shirt above of it. She wear Stephanie's pijamas. She pulled off the covers of the bed and lying down. It was a strange feeling being in the Bongiovi house. But she was so tiried of thinking anything. She closed her eyes and felt asleep.

At some time in the middle of the night Pauline's room door opened. A pair of bare feet walked in holding his pillow. Romeo got closer to Pauline and saw her sleeping. He put his little hand on her shoulder and whispered. "Pauline?" Pauline opened her eyes and saw Romeo in her room. "What's up Romeo?" "I saw a very bad dream! I saw that Jesse was dead!" he answered. "Can i sleep with you?" he added. "Of course you can! Come here!" she said and pulled off the covers and let Romeo slip in. "I brought and my pillow!" he said with a smile as Pauline took her pillow to left side of the bed and let Romeo took his. Once the pillows were fixed Romeo had already fall asleep hugging her. She looked down to him kissed his head good night. Hugging Romeo she falt asleep too.

The sun was raised up in the blue sky in Jersey. Dorothea waked up first she dressed and went down to the kitchen to make some coffee. Several minutes later Jon joined her in the kitchen. It was about 10.00am when Jacob waked up too and joined his parents in the kicthen. Romeo was still didn't appear yet. That suprised Dorothea because Romeo used to wake up first of all and sometimes earlier than her. So, she said to Jon to wake him up because they must leave for the hospital. Jon ckecked out his room but he wasn't there. He notised that his pillow was mising. He closed the door thinking where his son would be. And a thunder hit his head, Pauline. He walked to the guest room and opened the door slowly. 

In the dark room he saw them sleeping. Romeo's head was on Pauline's chest and his land was hugging her waist. They were sleeping so inoccent and so peacfull. He doesn't want to wake them up but he must. He let the door open and walked in the room. He sut next to Romeo and his hand was making ups and downs to Romeo's back. "Hey, big man it's time to wake up!" he whispered but Romeo ignore him. He singed and went to wake up Pauline. "Hey, Angel! Wake up sweetie..." he whispered again. This time Pauline wake up. Opening her eyes she saw Jon sitting beside her. "W-What time is it?" she asked as she rubbed her eyes. Jon checking his watch he answered "10.20am!" "Oh shit! I slept too much again!" "Relax, Angel! I waked up 30 minutes ago!" "Yeah, but i'm the guest here!" "Calm down and tell me how Romeo got here?" "He came in the middle of the night and told me that he had a bad dream and asked me if he can sleep with me!" she expained to Jon. "Ok! Please wake him up! We'll be in the kitchen!" Jon said and left the room.

Pauline got up and dressed. Once she was wearing her clothes she waked up Romeo. She helped him dressed up too. When both were wearing their clothes joined Dorothea, Jon and Jacob in the kicthen. When breakfast was finished they left the Bongiovi house. Their destination was the hospital.
