The hours passed by and still Pauline didn't return back to the house. At first Jesse thought that she didn't want to talk or see him, he understand this. But now it's been more than 4 hours and he has no idea where Pauline could be.
She could be in the poperty or everywhere in the town. Jesse start to worry as he was walking to every single room of the house and he couldn't find her. Not knowing where she is, that was driving him crazy. When he search all the house, and still not found any clue to where Pauline was, he put on his jacket and go out to find her.
First, he checked the studio but all the lights were off. His emotion changed in seconds as he thought that he is responsible that Pauline is missing. He keep telling himself that everything is gonna be fine and that he'll find her. But the more he was walking and not finding her the most terified he becoming.
He zipped up his jacket as it was getting colder and colder. The sky was filled with clouds and you couldn't see the light of the moon. Somke lights were on but that couldn't help Jesse a lot. He was starting to loosing his faith. He had search every inch of the poperty and he still couldn't find her.
He was trying to calm himself and start thinking if he was her where would he go, and then it hit him. "Of course the bench on the river!" he said and his eyes lighted up. That was the last place, if she is not here he must search all the town. He run from the one side of the poperty to the other. He wanted to go there as fast as he could.
He stopped and he saw a silhouette sitting on the bench. That silhouette has long hair as he can when the wind blew. It was her. With the sing of relief he walked closer to her. Walking closer he saw holding a cigarette on her left hand. Oh no Paul! I'm the only one to blame for that too.... Oh man... FUCK Jesse told to himself.
He saw her blowing out the smocke and walked next to her from the other side of the bench. He thought that she'll do something but she didn't. She was sitting there unperturbed, like he wasn't there. She just continue smocking her cigarette. She didn't turn to look at him because she knew that she couldn't.
Only a few minutes ago she stopped crying, there weren't any tears left. She was looking up to the river. The wind blew and she was only waering a t-shirt. Jesse saw that she shuddered but he didn't say anything. He unzipped his jacket and gave it to her. "Here take this!" "I'm fine. Thank you." she answered with a trembling voice without looking at him. "You here for 4 hours! You'll catch a cold." he tried again.
This time he didn't wait for her responce and he placed his jacket on her shoulders. "Better now huh?" he asked her. She nodded. Jesse singed. It was an awkward moment and he doesn't know what to do or say. He remained silent and was looking down to his feet. Next to him Pauline turned her head and looked at him.
She had been thinking about this all these hours. She must tell him. "Jesse?" she asked with low voise. Jesse flipped his head and looked her in the eyes. "I'm sorry." "You shouldn't be! I must apologize for my actions. Paul, i'm sorry!" he answered. "I know you are. It took me some to let this sink in. And i shouldn't react like that. I should have stay and let you some time to answer. I shouldn't runaway like i did the first time. I'm sorry about that!" Pauline was looking at him while she was talking. Her eyes filled with tears and she moved closer to him.
"Oh Paul..." Jesse said and opened his arms and let her crawl into his lap. She buried her head on his shoulder and cryied herself. "Oh, babe please don't cry. You know i can't think clear when you're crying...." he said and kissed her hair. "I was just so stupid and didn't tell you from the beginning and look where we are now? I made cry one more time..." he whispered. That was the worse you can do to him, make his paul cry.
Pauline tipped up her tears from her eyes and looked at him. "Is never too late Jesse...." she answered and kissed his deeply. "I love you Paul!" he said when the broke apart. "I love you too Jess!" Pauline answered and smiled at him.
"Paul, do you want to watch that movie you told me yesterday?" Jesse asked her tommorow and put their plates on the sink. "Yeah, sure! If you still want to go..." she answered him and got from the chair. "Of course and i want to go. It's been a long time since to took my girl out..." he answered and put his arms around her. "But wait you have a trainning today don't you?" Jesse asked a few seconds later and pulled back. "I can fix that!" Pauline said with a naughty voise.
She pulled from her pocket her phone and called the team capten. "Hey, Mary how are you? Not that good i just have fever and i can't come to the trainning today, i'm sorry. Nah, i think i'll be just fine for the game on Sunday. Just let the coach know. Ok, thank you girl... see ya...." she said and hung up the phone.
Jesse was looking at her with his hands on his waist. "You're crazy..." "Yeah, crazy for you...." she answered and run to his side. Their lips met for a long passionate kiss, and left them both breathless. When they broke up from the kiss Jesse was looking deep in her light brown eyes. there were still the most beautiful eyes he've ever seen. He was starring at her a few seconds.
"Jesse could you please stop looking at me like that? Do something usefull like calling the cinema and ask what time the movie starts?" Pauline's voise brought him back to reality. "Oh, yeah, of course..." Jesse answered and shaked his head.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Babe, i'll go take a shower!" Jesse said and got up from the bed. "Alright. When did you say the movie starts?" Pauline asked him from the bed. "At 5.00 and it lasts about one and half hour." Jesse informed her. "Great, maybe we can go and eat something after that..." "Yeah, sure..." Jesse answered from the bathroom.
Pauline was alone on Jesse's bedroom and she didn't know what to do. She was looking around until she found on the desk his laptop. "Babe, can i use your laptop?" she yelled. "Sure! The password is your birthday!" he yelled back. Pauline smiling she got up from the bed and sut on the desk's chair. She opened the laptop and typed her birthday.
The laptop opened and saw a photo of her as the scree saver, she smiled. She opened the Google Chrome and long in on Facebook. She answered to some messeges she had. When she was finished she clicked to the Bon Jovi Fan Fiction site. She read the chapter that she had missed, there weren't that much.
A few minutes later as she was rolling down the page, the biggest Bon Jovi page was making a quiz. She clapped her hands and said "Bring it on babe!" She visited the page and waited for the first question.
1. How is Jon's real name?
"You gotta be kidding me? That's too easy man!" she said and typed 'John Francis Bongiovi Jr' and send it. She had typed that name many times before and that made her the first who answered. Because she knew the rules, that means she had a point.
2. When and where Jon and Dorothea got married? "Easy one..." Pauline said annoying. She typed 29/04/1989 in Nevada, Las Vegas. She send it. But this time an another fan was faster than her. "Oh you may won that point darlin' but i'll kick your ass to the next!" Pauline answered looking with the devil's look on the computer screen.
3. What is Jon's first son full name? And when he was born? "Oh, i think someone is watchng me? How could i not know when Jesse was born? Are you fucking kidding me?" she told to herself and typed as she was saying "Jesse James Louis Bongiovi. 19/02/1995!" she send it.
Jesse opened the bathroom door and heard her calling his full name "You need something babe?" he asked. He scared her. In top speed she closed the page and looked at him. "Me, no? I'm just surfing on the net!" she told him with crossed finger. Please tell me he didn't see anything! she praied.
"You sure? Because you called my full name." Jesse answered holding the towel on his shoulders. He walked closer to her. "Paul, did i say something that bother you? You can tell me and i can fix it!" he added holding her hands. "No, no! Is just..." she paused for a second. She really wanted to tell him the truth but she never said anything before about that. "Just leave it! Go get dressed and i'll take a shower!" Pauline answered and closed the laptop screen.
She tried to got up from the chair but Jesse stopped her. "You're not going anywhere unless you tell what's wrong!" he said and looked at her in the eyes. Pauline knew that she couldn't escape from this. She singed. "Well, you know i'm a fan.... and i don't really talk about that very often. Actually i don't talk about that at all..." "You know that you can tell anything right?" "Yeah, i know that! But is not that simple Jesse!" Pauline told him and lifted her head, she was facing him.
"Oh, i think i know what are you talking about. You mean because you met the band, right?" "Is not about that too..." "And you're not yourself when they are around?" Jesse finally found what was bothering her. "Look, Pauline, i like you because of what you are and not what i was wanting you to be. I love everything about you... and even that...they are great! They put themselves into their music i can tell you that! They make you feel so damn strong!" he paused a second and laughed.
"It was at some point that i was so weak. I thought that i'm a mistake and i couldn't do anything right. I thought that i'm a nothing! I was in my room all day, i didn't want to go to school because the kids will make fool of me. And then he came into my room and took me to the studio. I was 12 years old when i first hear Everybody's Broken. I guess you know the song and if not is great you should hear it!" Jesse explained. Pauline saw that from the corner of his eyes little tears were making their appearence.
"Oh, Jess..." Pauline said and went to sit on his lap. "Why you didn't tell me that?" "That happend lots years ago... but what i'm trying to say is that you feel so strong from their music and i'm glad that you like a band like this!" "Yeah, you're right about that feeling. When you think that you can't anything and think that everybody else is better than you, smarter than you and prettier than you..." Pauline started but Jesse stopped her.
"I don't think that you have a problem like that, Paul! You're gorgeous!" Pauline gave him a little smile. That means she has a little story to share with him. She went and shut on the chair next to him. "I wasn't like that 4 years ago. If we moved 4 years ago here you propably couldn't turn when you cross the street. I was that fatty girl with big red cheeks that everybody fool around. " Pauline explained and saw the suprise in Jesse's eyes.
"I was 12 years old too when our biology teacher asked us to bring something from our pets. Everybody had a pet, well exepte me!" she added. Jesse was looking at her very serious, he wanted to know what has her point. "They all brought some hair from their cats and dogs and other things that i don't remember now... and i didn't bring anything.| she paused for a second to take a deep breath. That was the worse expierence she had from school so far. She never talked about that day. For some reason she had forgot what happend back then.
Taking a deep breath she answered. "The teacher asked me if i had a pet and i answere no. Then the most beautifulo boy in the class, that every girl was in love with me including myself, said that i might ate my pet!" she said with low voise the last setence.
Her eyes were looking down to her feet. That was the first tome she talked about it after 4 years. She was trying hard to hold the tears in her eyes but she couldn't help herself. A single tear rolled from the cornber of her eye down to her cheek. Jesse with his thumb lifted her head and tipped up the tears. "Oh babe, i'm sorry!" he said and pulled her closer. She was trying to hold the tears once again but as long as she felt Jesse closer to her she let herself free and melt in his arms.
For the next minutes Pauline was crying. She tipped up the tears from her eyes and she added. "A few months later he had a party for his birthday and he invited all the kids exepte me." "You must feel horrible!" "To be honest not at all beacuse if i was going to that party i wouldn't had heard It's My Life on the TV! And since that day i changed or better they helped me to change. Until the end of the year i lost all the weight i should and here i am..." she finished her story.
Jesse was looking at her and his face was a little pale. "Jessare you alright?" she asked worried. "Yeah, i'm fine! Is just amazing that you didn't give up and you tried to changhe! You were stronger since then! I'm proud of you!" he answered and smiled. "Thank you!" Pauline repleid and blushed a little. "And then you still didn't have a pet?" "Nope, i've never had a pet. My Mum used to say that a pet is like a child and needs your attetion everyday and i'm too young to have a pet!" Pauline answered and got up from the chair. She walked to him and kissed him with lots of passion. "I'll take a shower!" she said when they broke apart. She walked to the bathroom and closed the door behind her.
"You sure? Because you called my full name." Jesse answered holding the towel on his shoulders. He walked closer to her. "Paul, did i say something that bother you? You can tell me and i can fix it!" he added holding her hands. "No, no! Is just..." she paused for a second. She really wanted to tell him the truth but she never said anything before about that.

Great chapter, Pauline. I'm glad she apologized to Jesse too.
