Megan immediately clicked with the hectic life of a roadie. Everyone fell in love with her gentle and witty manner.
Jon kept to his word and didn’t say anything about their past. The boys tried to invite her to go out with them but she refused, she needed to get along with her fellow roadies and to be honest she enjoyed their company tremendously. With Jon she felt on edge, trying to keep her feelings to herself.
She always felt his eyes on her while she worked on their wardrobes for the evening and always managed to flash him a smile, hoping her eyes didn’t show her real feelings.
She called Jaden daily, he missed him just as much as he missed her and she promised him to visit soon.

Megan walked down the hallway when Richie beckoned her closer. He had a huge smile on his face while he was talking on the phone.
He pointed towards the phone his mouth forming her son’s name.
She groaned helplessy. Jaden couldn’t stop talking about Richie since that weekend. Richie pulled her closer, pushed the phone between them and smiled at the boy’s incessant chatter.
“My mommy says I can come and visit soon! Its gonna be so cool Richie!”
“Yeah its gonna be super! Now tell me how is White blaze doing? Still feeding him sugarcubes?”
Megan smiled as her son’s vibrant voice soothed her soul.
Jon walked up to them, a smile on his face.
“And what the hell is going on here? Who are you two talking to?”
Megan almost snapped her back. Richie rested his hand on the small of her back, his eyes telling her to calm down.
“It’s Megan’s niece. I met him the weekend I took her to New York
Jaden’s high pitched voice ringed in Richie’s ear.
“Is that Jon Bon Jovi? Wooohaaa man! May I say hello to him?”
Richie looked at Megan.
“Jon you wanna say hi to the boy?”
“Sure…Hey buddy. I’m Jon.”
“Your mom said so huh? Well I guess then we’ll have to make a plan don’t we?”
Jon was watching Megan. She acted strangely and it seemed like Richie was literally holding her up.
“I’ll ask Megan to call you when all the arrangement have been made, k sport?”
Jon laughed said his goodbyes and handed Richie the phone.
“He asked me to thank you for letting him speak to me. We are so cool man” he imitated the little boys voice, not realizing how perfectly it sounded.
Richie’s laugh was unnaturally loud to Megan’s sensitive nerves, she jumped slightly. Richie pulled her into his arms, the fake smile made her stomach flip.
“Well I guess we need to get our newest fan here as soon as possible. Would his mom approve if he comes to a rock show on the other side of the world?”
Megan found her voice somewhere in the depths of the bundle of nerves that fizzled in her brain.
“No, she’ll be fine.”
“Well arrange it then and let his mother know, k baby?”
“Thanx Jon. I will.”
“Rich we have soundcheck in a few minutes, coming?”
“In a minute I just have to go to the loo quickly.”
Megan felt Richie’s monstrous hands closing over her arm.
“For fuck’s sake Megan. This is gonna blow up in our faces. What if he recognized the boy? I hate lying to him Megan.”
“I KNOW!! I KNOW! God Richie I’m shit scared!”
“He needs to know Meg as soon as possible, if you don’t tell him. I will.”
Richie walked out without looking back.
