Chapter 15.

Jon layed on his back on his bed. He had been trying to get to sleep for the last three hours, but for some reason he couldn't. He was thinking of Caddy, he was thinking of his kids, he was thinking of Dorothea, he was thinking of Jason, he was trying to figure out where everything went wrong with him and Dorothea. He traced their whole relationship, from the start where he she let him copy from her in a history test. He remembered the night they went to Vegas to get married, when they found out Dorothea was pregnant with Stephanie. When she gave birth to Stephanie. Finding out she was pregnant again, the birth of Jesse. Moving to London for 3 months, while Jon shot the Leading Man. Finding out she was pregnant with their thrid child in 2003, when he rushed back from new orleans because Dorothea went into labour. When Jake was born. Then two years later finding out she was pregnant with their fourth and final child, Romeo's birth. They were just the highlights, he remembered nearly everything since they first met. Jon sat up, then burst into tears. He realised their break-up was all his fault. Jon was spending more time away from hiS family then he was with them, he was finding more and more projects to do. He hadn't said 'I love you' to Dorothea at all that year and meant it.


The next day Jon was out with the kids, they were meeting up with Richie for lunch. They sat outside a restraunt, Jon tried to settle Romeo and Jake who were very hyper after a bar of chocolate they had taken from the cupboard after Jon telling them not to. Stephanie and Jesse sat unsually quite. "Hey guys" Richie said walking up to them. He kissed Stephanie on the head, ruffled Jesse's hair, and scooped Jake up so Jon only had one kid to try and calm down. "Hey man" Jon nodded, Richie nodded back. "UNLE MOOK!" Romeo screamed excitedly reaching out for Richie. Richie and Jon swaped kids, Romeo gave Richie a big hug, and Jake cuddled up to Jon. A waitress came over and to take their orders. "I'll have the pasta and can I have two other pastas for these two?" Jon asked nodding to Romeo and Jake. "No problem" the waitress said smiling and writing down the order she turned to Richie. "I'll have er....I'll have uh....I'll have a good ol' burger and french fries" Richie smiled and gave the menu to the waitress. "I'll have the pasta" Stephanie said quitely "I'll have the same" Jesse said equally as quite. Richie burst out laughing "you Bongiovi's sure love yer pasta!" Jon joined in on the laughing "we sure do"


An hour later they were walking back to the car. "So you comin' over?" Jon asked Richie, as he was putting Jake and Romeo into the car "yeah sure why not" Richie said leaning against the car. Stephanie stood infront of Jon waiting to get into the car. "Hey Bon Jovi" someone shouted, Jon looked behind Stephanie. Someone was pointing a gun at him, before he could tell Stephanie to get in the car, the man shot. Jon's eyes widened when helooked at Stephanie's stomach. She had just been shot. She fell to the ground. Jon fell to his knees then hunched over Stephanie. He was shaking her head trying to wake her up. "No...no...NO GOD NO NO!" Jon screamed, Richie got his phone out and rang an ambulance. Jon pulled Stephanie up to his chest quickly. Jesse got out of the car and started to run, ichie held him back. "Stephanie!" he started to cry. "Jesse stay back..." Ricihe said holding him back. "OH GOD NO PLEASE! Oh c'mon Stephanie..wake up...please wake up..." Jon sat on the ground next to Stephanie, he buried his head in his hands, he put his head back and screamed a silent scream. He was so upset he could not scream nor cry. He thought she was dead. Richie ran over to Stephanie when he saw the ambulance. The paramedics ran as fast as they could. They started to do CPR on her. One of them felt her neck. "Theres a pulse!" they shouted. Richie went over to Jon trying to hold him up. "Jon she's alive...she's alive Jon" Richie told him, Jon cuoldn't move. He was still in shock. Richie stood him up then they both ran over to the ambulance. Jon got in, "Richie bring the kids to the hosiptal..." Jon told him. Richie nodded and ran over to Jake and Romeo who were crying. Jesse was not, he was standing there staring, he so pale, he looked as if he had just died. Richie scooped Romeo and Jake up. "Come on..we're goin' to the hosiptal" He said locking Jon's car and then getting into his own.
