Chapter 1.

July 29 2006, New Jersey.

Jon lay in his bed, rubbing his eyes trying to wake up. He looked at his alarm clock. 09:30.
He staggered out of his bed, and went into the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror, "no wonder she left me" Jon said to himself. (The "she" he was talking about, was his ex-wife Dorothea. Dorothea left Jon the year before, because she decided she couldn't handle a rockstar husband anymore, not knowing what he was doing, when he was on tour.) Jon fixed his blond hair, brushed his teeth, smelled his arm pits..."think i need a shower" Jon said looking like he was about to throw up. He took off the boxers, and hopped into the shower. He turned the tempeture to cold, he let the cold water drip over his face, then turned the tempeture up to medium. After 10 minutes he got out.

He walked into his bedroom (naked) and got some clean boxers, put them on, then found his jeans and t-shirt he was wearing the day before and put them on too. Jon sat on his bed, and closed his eyes. Just then he heard a scream, Jon jumped with fright. He opened his bedroom door and ran downstairs to the living room. He saw Stephanie, Jesse, Jake and Romeo all sitting down in their pajamas watching t.v. "Who screamed?" Jon asked looking worried. His kids looked at him like he was crazy. "No one" Stephanie replyed. "someone MUST have screamed, I heard someone scream!" Jon said. "dad, no one screamed..." Jesse told him. "Okay..i must have imagined it..." Jon said walking out of the room.

Jon headed for the front door, "I'll be outside if you need me.." Jon called to his kids. Then he heard footsteps behind him. Jon turned around on his heel, and saw Romeo, his youngest child, standing there. "come" Romeo said to Jon. "you wanna come?" Jon asked Romeo "come" said to him again, "alright let's get you dressed first...don't want you getting a cold.." Jon said picking his toddler up and going upstairs.

Jon put Romeo down on his bed, and went over to Romeo's closet and got out some clothes for him. Jon changed Romeo's diper, then put clothes on him. "daddy" Romeo said, "yeah kiddo?" Jon said looking at him wondering what was wrong with him, "shoes" Romeo said pointing to his feet. Jon blinked and opened his mouth, in a funny way to make Romeo laugh. "SHOES...???" Jon said, Romeo laughed. Jon got a pair of shoes for Romeo, and put them on him. "you okay now kiddo?" Jon asked smiling. "yeah!" Romeo said smiling back, then he stuck out his tounge at Jon. Jon laughed, and picked Romeo up.

Jon went outside, still carrying Romeo. Then Romeo saw a ball on the ground, and wiggled in Jon's arms. Jon put him down, and Romeo ran to the ball. "dada" Romeo called, Jon loved how sometimes Romeo still called him dada. "yes?" Jon said getting down to Romeo's height. "sing!" Romeo said putting his hands up. "okay..what song? barney?" Jon said smiling at his son. "no.... dada song!" Romeo said as if it was plain obvious. "dada's song?" Jon asked Romeo. "yeah!" Romeo said smiling. "Okay..." Jon said trying to pick out a song, that Romeo would like. So Jon started to sing, Captain Crash and his beauty queen from mars and Jon made a few funny faces while he was singing it. Romeo laughed each time.

Well, Jon sounds like a pretty great father! =)

Interesting beginning. I found your story on topix.com - and I've got to tell you: At first everyone thinks her story isn't good enough. But you'll see: You surely get new readers soon, as a little encouragement. ;)

So, I think I read your newer chapters now otherwise this comment will get too long. :P

Keep on writing,

Alina
