Chapter 13: Welcome To Wherever You Are

As the days passed like cars in the New Jersey highway here they are in the end of July. Pauline was now more that one year in New Jersey far away from her friends. It's really amazing what can happend in one year. She met her idols and play with them. But mostly she found the love into Jesse's face.

It was the first time after the 14 months that she spend in New Jesrey and Pauline was feeling alone into this big city and no one could hepl her. No one exept her friends.

Sure she spend lots of time with Ava. And sure there is an unexplained connection between them but she just know her only for 10 months. Fith her friends back in Greece things were diferent. She grew up with them. They were in her heart no matter where they were one piece of her heart will always live in her old house, in her old neighborhood. One part of her will always go in the same school sitting in the same school desk. One part of her will always be the short, plumpy girl with the ponytails and the red cheeks. This view might left her two years ago but for some reason this view will always follow her like a curse.

It was a calm Friday night in the hospital. Jon and Dorothea never leave Jesse's side. Richie and Ava were everyday visitors so was Pauline. David and Tico didn't come this often to the hospital. Also Jon's parents and brothers were there but Pauline didn't meet them yet.

Jesse was doing much better. He wake up from the coma just yesterday. It was about time to open his blue eyes again. He had already moved to a private room of the hospital and only the people who were in the list had the access.

Dorothea was sitting in a chair beside Jesse's head while Jon was starring out of the window.

A pair of light blue eyes opened slowly. These took a look on the right side, they didn't saw anything special exept a door and a window. They turned on the left said. They saw a woman in her fifties sitting in a chair. They raised up and saw a man also in his fifties looking out of the window. They looked again to the wonam and focus on her face.

Dorothea was reading a magazine and she took a look to Jesse. The magazine hit the hard the floor when she saw the eyes of his son opened. She got up from the chair without making a sound. She sut on the bed. His eyes met his mother's and gave her a smile. Dorothea's eyes filled with tears and she took in her arms her son. When they broke apart Jesse said "Hey mommy! You miss me?" This boy has a great sence of houmor just like his father.

Jon as he heard these words turned and saw his son smiling in his mother. Eyes filled with tears once again and he moved on the other side of the bed. As Jon sut he couldn't hide his tears in front of his son. "Hey daddy!" Jesse said and smiled to his dad.

Jesse looked down to himslef and looked puzzled. "Why am i in a hospital? The last thing i remember is i was in my room playing a video game!" he said and with his hand he touched is head. "Oh my God! Is that a bandage?" he asked again more thrilled and less puzzled. Both parents were looking at each other not knowing if they must tell him the truth. So, they called a doctor.

Jon found doctor Callen in the hallway and told him what happend. Dr Callen was very happy to hear these news. He told Jon that Jesse must know what happend to him. As he had already guessed he had memory loss. And from what Jon had told him he didn't remember the past 10-11 months.

Jon walked into the room and saw his wife with his son talking. That was the best scene he've had seen since he stop tourring. Jon sut in a chair while Dorothea never leave the bed. "Jesse i'll tell you what happend to you ok?" Jon said and Jesse nobbed. "First of all we're in New Jesrey and today is the 28th day of July in 2013...." "2013? I thought is was 1st of October in 2012!" Jesse said suprised. "You had an accident with your car. You were in coma for almost a month. And that caused you memory loss!" "I-I don't remember?" Jesse said puzzled and touches his head with both hands. Dorothea took his hand into hers and said "It's Jesse! You'll remember everything in no time!" "I hope so!" "What is the last thing you remember?" Jon asked. "Ava called me and invited me to her birthday day and then Romeo came in to my room and i gave the phone to him and i continue playing GTA!" "The name Jennifer One tells you something?" Jon asked again. "Of course it does it's my girlfriend!" Jesse answered and smiled. "She was buddy! You broke up!" Jon informed his son. "We broke up why? What i did to her?" Jesse asked sure that he did something bad to her. "You didn't do anything sweetheart! She cheatted on you!" Dorothea answered. "Oh! At least i'm a single man!" he said and smiled. "I don't want to hurt your feeling but you have a girlfriend!" Jon said and shaked his head. "Really? What's her name?" "Pauline Timson!" Dorothea answered. "Oh i don't remember her! What i'm gonna do?" Jesse said with guitly voise. "It's alright honey! You'll remember her you'll have all the time you need!" Dorothea said and tried to calm him down. "Do you want to call her?" Jon asked and Jesse nobbed. Jon left the room and took his phone from his pocket and called Pauline.

On her room Pauline was talking on Skype with her friend Melina, Stefania and Amalia. She had explained them all the things between her and Jesse. "It's ok Pauline he'll be fine!" Stefania said. "I hope so! But is my fault!" Pauline said and looked at the camera. "Pauline stop that bullshit! Jon and Dorothea are suporting you! So stop say that!" Melina yelled. "But.." Pauline started but Amalia stopped her "There're no buts! Now put a smile on your gace! And i'm not gonna comment how red you were when you said that you woke up and saw Richie watching you sleeping!" Amalia said and all girls laughed. Pauline blushed again. "Stop that shit!" "Or how you react when Jon invited to spend the night in his house!" Stefania added. "You dream came true my little Jovinator!" Melina added.

Who's gonna to hold you 
When you turn out the light?
I won't lie, i wish that i
Could be your Supernam tonight.

Pauline's phone rung and she had the suprised all over her face. "Hey Jon is Jesse ok? WHAT? Ok i'm coming!" Pauline said and hung up the phone quickly. "What happend?" Stefania asked and saw from the camera that Pauline happy and smiling. "Jesse woke up!" Pauline said and wear her shoes. "I gotta go girls...." she turned off her laptop.

The keys of her car in her hand she closed the door of her room. As she was walking down the stairs her mother was watching TV. "Pauline where are you going?" she asked with not a happy voise. "To the hospital....." "We need to talk about something first! Have a seat.." Katerina said and turn off the TV. "Look mum i'd love to talk with you but not right now! Jon just called and told me that Jesse woke up...... i have to go!" Pauline was already in the door. Her mother stand up and said "Panagiota Timopoulou come here right now!" It was the first time her mother called her with her real name. Pauline was a nickname that her dad found it. As far for the last name when they mouved to the USA they changed it.


Pauline closed the door. She knew from the tone of her voise that this was surious. She walked baxk to where her mother was and sut next to her. Her mother sut too. "I'll get straight to the point! Your father and i want for younot to see this boy again!" Katerina said like it was an order. Pauline felt her heart sink. "What do you mean not to see him again?" "After all this that happend he broke your heart! And as parents we want to protect you.... We were patient when you spend all your day in this hospital! We didn't deny you to spend the night in Jon's house but this is over! I'm happy that he woke up. I don't want to see my little girl like that again! This boy is not for you.... you'll find an another!" Pauline was looking at her mother while she was talking. She had that passion and make every single word count. "And what if i keep seeing him?" "We bith know that this is not going to happend!" Katerina said almost laughing. "Is that what you think mother? You think that i'm gonna give up that easy? That i'm gonna see the boy that i loved with all my heart?" "He lied to you! He broke your heart!" Katerina stopped her. "Someone told me that everyone deserves one more chance! No matter what he did i'll give him that chance because i love him!" "Pauline please...." Katerina said and touched her hand. Pauline got up and went away from her. "You always wanted me to be successful right? Now see i've passed my class and got my driving licence! Happiness is not only about the degrees you! It's about love and friendship too! You have no right not to let me see Jesse!" she said and looked down to her mother.

The next seconds passed into silence. Katerina was thinking all her daughter had said to her. She was right. From what she said she really love him. She singed heivy. "Ok, Pauline! I can see that you love him! And i want my daughter to be happy. If that boy makes you happy i don't have a problem!" "Really?" Pauline asked and rolled her eyes. "Yeah, really!" Katerina said and hugged her daughter tight. "Now go! And be carefull on the road!" "I will! Thank you....."Pauline said and hugged her mother again and left her house.

As she had promised to her mother she was carefull on her way to the hospital. She was so exited about what just happend. It was a feeling that it was happening to her for the first time in her life. She wasn't sure how to descriabe it.

On the elevator she couldn't hide her smile. the other people were looking her with a wird look. She didn't care. She opened the door of the hallway and she didn't find Jon or Dorothea. It was the first time she was happy about it.

She asked a nurse where was Jesse's new room. She told her it is the room 610. She took her a little to understand that this was the day they met in Ava's party, 6th of October. She laughed at that memory. She walked a few steps and now she was standing out of his room.

Taking a deep breath she knocked. When she heard Jon's voise she opened the door and walked in. Her eyes went to the bed and found Jesse awake talking. A smile appear to her face as she closed the door behind her. Jesse's eyes never leave Pauline's. He was looking at her like it was the first time. "Hey Angel! There is something i want to tell you!" Jon said and got closer to Pauline. He whispered to her ear "He had lost his memory! And he doesn't remember you at all! the last thinh he remembers is the day that Ava invited him to her birthday party. The doctor said that he must know the truth of what happend to him. So, if he ask anything tell him the truth ok?" Pauline was listen to Jon like a stranger. When he finished he nobbed. "Come on honey let's have some coffee!" Jon said to his wife and both left the room leaving Jesse and Pauline alone.

It was an awkward moment for Pauline. She doesn't know what to say. It was becoming more anxous when Jesse was looking her like a chocolate cake. She singed and sut on the bed next to him. She looked into his blue eyes. Oh God! How much she had missed these blue eyes? "My dad told me that you're my girlfriend is that right?" Jesse broke first the silence. Pauline laughed and answered. "Yeah, that right!" "How did we meet?" Jesse asked like a 5 year old. Pauline remembered what Jon had told her. "Well, we met in Ava's party. The next day you through me your meatballs on school and we became closer friends! Then you came in a game and you asked me if i can be your girlfiend and i said yes!" Pauline explained as better as she could. "My dad also told me that i didn't told you who is my dad and we had a fight and you broke up with me!" Jesse said now with a sad voise and looked down. "That's also true but i forgive you for that...." Jesse's face lighted up as he hear these words. "Really? After what i've done to you?" "Everyone deserves one more chance!" Pauline answered him. "I'm really sorry for that! I wish i could remember that..." Jesse said feeling bad of what happend to him. "Hey you don't hate to me sorry accidents happens! And as for your memory i'm sure you'll find it in no time!" "Do you really belive that?" Jesse said while blue eyes met brown. Hell, she can get lost in his eyes. "Of course and i belive in you that's why i'm here! And i always be...." Jesse smiled.

They talked a little more. Jesse was acting like a 5 year old and Pauline was his mother. Feeling can't be descreabed from both sides. It was good that he's up from that coma. Now, with a little help and lots of rest his memory will be back and they can continue their livies together.
