I'll be There For You, Always (A Bon Jovi Fanfic)

chapter 7 - shock

Jons POV

It had been about an hour or so now since Blair had left, and we were back on the road. Dave, Tico and Alec had all gone through to their bunks. But I was still sitting on the couch thinking about the events of the day. I was thinking about what we'd all be doing right now if Blair were here. I smiled and gave a small laugh under my breath as I thought about all the good times we could have been having.

First off I would have gotten us all together on the couch - Blair next to me of course - and gotten us to properly introduce ourselves. No doubt Richie and Dave would be making jokes the whole time.

*stop being so stupid man!* i told myself over and over to try and snap out of this trance that Blair had put me under. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't shake the feeling that it was fate when we met. She was so vulnerable when she was laying on the couch, passed out. Her face was so peacful and innocent. I blushed as I thought of her.

I imagined how she would laugh...I bet she had the most adorable laugh. *dam I wish she was here* as I sat on that old couch with my elbows rested on my knees and my fingers intertwined I heard someone come over. I looked up "oh hey Rich" I said as my guitarist and best friend walked over to sit with me. He didn't seem quite as tipsy now, but I had a feeling he had calmed down just because he knew how much he'd upset me....and Blair. "Hey bud" he replied with a half hearted smile. He plopped himself down next to me and leant back so that he was facing the roof of the bus. "Listen, im real sorry 'bout earlier...I was only joking" he had a look of genuine remorse on his face as he said this, and seeing as he's very rarely serious I knew he meant it. I looked over to him and put my hand on his shoulder "don't worry about it man...I know what you're like. I guess it was just the wrong thing to say at the wrong time" we gave Eachother a smile and then brought it in for a brotherly hug. "Its a shame though man. I can see that you really wanted to get to know her" even though we like to goof around, I think these are the best conversations I have....when we can be serious and genuine with eachother "yeah I really did...hopefully we'll meet again" - althoughI had no idea how seeing as we are from opposite ends of the planet.

I had noticed that the road had gotten alot bumpier and it didn't seem as straight as I was expecting a motorway to be. I got up and made my way to the front of the bus to talk to the driver. When I looked out the front windshield it was pitch black out and raining. It was actually kinda cool. I glanced at the driver who must have known why I was there as he quickly said "we lost alot of time back in Glasgow with that girl. So we're taking a short cut"

The road was really twisty now. *dam Scott's wanting to build their roads around the hills rather than through them!*

I could tell the driver was in no mood to be disturbed so I thought I better make my way back to the couch. As I did I saw Richie, who looked a pretty awful shade of green, with both his arms wrapped around his middle as if he were trying to physically hug his stomach. "I think im gonna hurl" he really was looking gnarly. "Oh c'mon Rich its only a little bumpy. Its not like the bus is rocking back and forth and back and forth" I smircked as I rocked in my seat to make him feel worse.

"Uurrgghhh stop it Jon!" He said as he continued to hold back the obvious lump in his throat. "Oh wow, using my Sunday name are we? What, no jonny boy today?" I couldn't help but giggle at how unamused he was at my teasing him. He let out another groan - he's just a drama queen really - and jumped up to run to the bathroom.

There were all kinds of nasty sounds coming from inside. "Ugh...Hey Rich could you die a little quieter!?" I shouted with a look of disgust across my face. All I got in response was a half hearted groan. I giggled at his current state, he's always been bad at travelling but never this bad. I guess Scotland's just too hard for him. I scoffed.
