Months had passed since Miriam showed up at the door, and he was making that advice that June had given him his own, just like you do with mantras..

And he certainly also understood that everything that had happened wasn't his fault, he hadn't done anything, and it was precisely for this reason that he had to move forward, with his life and his career..

Furthermore, Jon finally could see the dream of the tour he had hoped for and desired for years, namely the "Keep the Faith tour", he still struggled to believe it..

How did they get to this point?!
They went from not having a very specific idea to finally seeing a sports hall being set up for that concert..

Jon looked around with a dreamy air, of someone who was finally ready to start again stronger than before, aware that now he was not alone, a singer, a composer, a writer and a frontman, but he was also an actor..

He liked being that too, but as much as he liked acting, being on stage made him come alive, gave him back the ability to dream again and fly higher than he already did..

The screams of people calling their names, the adrenaline of entering the stage and the energy that the audience emanated just at the sight of them and the chants at every song, this was priceless and Jon would never have quantified it or at least he didn't know how to quantify it...

Their return to the scene had already caused such a sensation that it sold out in less than a few hours, they were still amazed by the sounding board emanating from the various local and foreign television advertisements..

They had returned first with an interview, then with new music that anticipated an album and then the arrival of the album and the date schedule for the tour that would see them as protagonists and this time more mature than before..

- this date will have to be spectacular - Jon had told the rest of the group..

Each of them looked around, aware of the fact that they would never back down, some were born for this, others instead had discovered it along the way, or others, like Jon, had his destiny written in the stars..

And each of them was a star shining in the rock firmament, dreaming of a day when they would have their own star on the Walk of Fame..
They hoped it would be an achievement, just like having a star in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame..

They were aware that that half was still so far away, but they were certain that with perseverance they would get there, they were certain that they could deserve it, because with that return, there would be none for anyone..

- you don't understand how many people there are - June said to the girl who returned from behind the curtain to see all the people without being discovered

- we can only imagine June, but certainly many - said Tico

Anxiety, agitation, fear..
Here are the three words that depicted the states of mind of those people who would soon go on stage to sing Livin' on a prayer..

They didn't go on stage together which was too much, but if what they say is true, that is, that there is understanding between those who have known each other all their lives...
Then they would have had no problem going up and smashing the whole world..

And now Jon was also arriving among them, with that applause that he did to excite everyone before going on stage, and they would have recognized him even among a thousand...

Unmistakable like his voice and his being..

- here it is - said Richie, hearing that unmistakable sound of his best friend's hands

That applause meant only one thing that was appreciated by all those present, namely that the rock could begin and the concert could begin..

- well we're back on track, guys, let's rock the world - Jon said to his friends

- let's get rock! - they all shouted to get excited

And here is the first note, and the roar of the people cheering theirs, their names, the name of that group that was making history...

- good evening and welcome to the Keep The Faith tour!!! - Jon said shouting to the crowd..

And he shouted while singing, he shouted impatiently to hear the new album live, and it was madness, full magic..

Finally they had returned home, among their audience and those screams that made them feel alive, alive like the first time of their creation..

And June watched all this, from Backstage as if she had never seen anything like it in her life, yet she had always been to this kind of concert, since she was a little girl..
Furthermore, she had always been their fan, she shouldn't be surprised..

But every time she saw those five guys, or rather six, she was fascinated by them every time, and it was useless to even just watch, lost in her thoughts without enjoying the actual concert, taking photos that would then be hung on the social page the next day. of the group with the writing thank you plus the place where they were..

He had to admit though that Jon was really beautiful on stage, it was as if he had a different light that acted as a magnet, how was it possible?!

She didn't know it, but looking at him, with a dreamy air, came so naturally to her, that at that moment the thought of stopping didn't even occur to her.

Besides, everyone did it, because she couldn't do it..

- really nice - Chanel asked her, one of her colleagues and photographer of the group

- he already is, like everyone else - said June

- no June, I'm talking about only one person, that is, Jon Bonjovi - said Chanel

- he is always beautiful and this is the main tragedy, but I admit that on stage he has a different shine - said June

- June is a rock star we can't help but admit it - Chanel finally said

And it was true Jon, he was a real rock star, no one could admit otherwise and as much as one could do it, after a while he had to stop or he would arrive at the usual solution that that singer was a real rock star. .

And here they are at the last song, the one made of shortcomings and broken promises, he had to sing it, it was a very successful song..

He owed it to those people who were there for them that very evening..

- this last song is part of our latest album Keep The Faith and it's called Bed Of Roses - Jon said starting to sing

Melancholy, sadness, anger and disappointment, this is what that song was and would always be..
Awareness that nothing could go back to the same, but that something would change instantly..

And last note and word and finally Jon's last sentence to that audience that applauded...

- Thank you, good night-
