Chapter 9: Jon Bon Jovi

21nd of October, 1987

Rufus could barely open his eyes. The sun beamed heavenly through the huge windows and were shining righ into his face. He noticed he definitely wasn't in the mini van, or in a place that was even slightly familiar. He could feel a head on his lap, and was somewhat relieved. At least Lily was with him though. When he moved to look at her though, he jumped up. "Fuck.." His head was hurting extremely, and moving so fast hadn't been the best thing to do. But why the hell was Vince sleeping with his head on his lap?

"Dude…" He nodged him, hoping Vince would wake up soon.

"Dude, Vince!" He pushed harder, causing Vince to open his eyes in shock. "What, what?"

When Vince noticed to position he was in, he quickly got up. "What is this?"

Rufus couldn't help but chuckle. "God, I don't know. My head feels awful…"

"Guess that's the alcohol. And the weed. And the coke."

Rufus his memory was slowly coming to senses. He rememberd him and Lily at the pond with pot, returning to the club, going up to the penthouse, doing coke… After that, his mind was getting blurry though. They were in that same penthouse though, that was a sure thing. "Any idea where our girls' at?"

Vince sighed. "I have no idea. Honestly, I don't even remember everything from last night. I only remember… Parts. Blurry, parts, I might add." As Vince was holding his head in his hands, Rufus sat up a bit higher and looked around. The place was a total mess. Bottles of champagne and beer were all over the floor. Confetti was all over the place, and several pieces of clothing were decorating the floor. He noticed some people on the couch in the other corner of the room; that appeared to be Paul and Mike. Richie was on one of the other couches, snorring loudly, and Max was on the other couch with some blonde. No Lily and Anne though.

"We have to go find the girls Vince, come on." Vince shrugged, not planning on getting off of the couch.

"Vince, come on.."

"Rufus, chill. Those girls can take care of themselves, I'm sure they'll be here some time soon."

Rufus shook his head. "Yeah, well, I'd rather find them first. Come!" He got up and grabbed Vince's arm, slightly irritated, as he was getting him up of the couch. "Okay, chill, Jesus…"

Vince followed Rufus, who stormed through the room, wondering where Lily could possibly be.

Lily felt a warm body next to hers and she sighed; Rufus was warm, and she was about to scoot over closer to him when she realized how tiny his legs felt. This felt… Different. Her head was throbbing and she really didn't want to open her eyes, but something felt… Off.

She opened her eyes, noticing first that she was in a huge king sized bed, with satin white sheets. Fancy. Definitely not the mini van. She then noticed Anne's small frame next to her. She was somewhat relieved; sleeping in the same bed as Anne definitely wasn't a big deal. God, back in LA she had slept with three friends in tiny little beds… Nothing bad about that.

Her head was throbbing and it was getting worse. She sighed, wondering what the hell had happened the night before? Who's bed was she in anyway? She tried to sit up, careful not to disturb Anne, and was startled when she heard a voice.

"Sleeping beauty's awake, I see."

"Jon!" She noticed Jon in a chair in one of the corners, dressed in his boxers only. "What… Why.." Lily brought a hand to her head; she was in serious pain, and she hoped it would finally teach her not to drink that much next time. Probably not, but still. She looked at Jon again, hoping her blurry words would be enough for him to understand she needed to know something more about the night before.

"Relax, beautiful, no crazy stuff happened last night." Jon chuckled, and although Lily liked the guy, she was slightly annoyed with his attitude.

"Why am I here?"

Jon chuckled as he got out of the chair and grabbed his jeans. As he was putting them on, he said: "The party lasted too long last night… Everyone was getting tired… You and Anne were tired, the guys wanted to stay… I figured you guys could sleep in my bed… I slept in the chair, just so you know." He winked before moving his face away from hers again to look for his shirt.

Lily smiled, feeling relieved. "Oh… That's… That's sweet, thanks."

"No problem, gorgeous."

He hadn't finished his sentence yet when the door was opened with a bang, and Rufus and Vince stepped in.

"Lil, here you are, thank God!" Rufus scooted over to her and kissed her head. As Vince moved to Anne, carefully trying to wake her up.

"Hey… I was wondering where you had been."

Lily chuckled. "Don't worry, I'm good. Jon over there was being a sweetheart and gave me and Anne his bed."

Rufus moved his head and noticed Jon in the corner of the room, shirtless. He had a sly smile on his face, and Rufus suddenly felt a bit… Jealous. "Oh, did he?"

Jon shrugged. "It was no big deal. Beautiful ladies should have a good bed, getting some good sleep." He threw on his shirt then, as Lily gently cupped Rufus' chin and moved it so he faced her. "Hey. I've missed you." She kissed his lips gently. Rufus nodded. "I've missed you too. My head is throbbing though… Seriously, I feel awful." Lily rolled her eyes. "God, me too…"

Rufus smiled and said: "Let's get out of here. Get some food."

Lily nodded. "Good idea."

"So… You've slept in Jon Bon Jovi's bed, huh?" Rufus winked at Lily, who had just taken a big bite of the pancakes in front of her.

After swallowing, she chuckled. "Jealous much?" She stuck out her tongue and continued eating. The food was definitely curing her hangover. Slowly, but at least a little. Rufus however didn't seem to feel much better.

"No. As long as he's really stayed in that chair like he said, I'm completely fine."

Lily shrugged. "I honestly have no idea, but I don't think there's any reason to not trust him…"

She drank some of her juice as she looked at Rufus; he looked terrible. She placed her hand over his as she said: "Hey, are you okay? You look afwul… Hot, but awful." She winked.

Rufus shrugged. "I feel a bit… Bland, sad... I don't know. Tired. More then usual when I am hangover."

Lily smiled, but it wasn't a happy one. This seemed familiar; it was the cocaine. "Hey." She made sure Rufus looked at him before she said: "It's the drugs, honey. You'll be fine in a couple of days."

Rufus shrugged again as he said: "Don't be silly, I didn't even use that much." He seemed irritated, and Lily had to admit this side of Rufus was one she hadn't seen before.

"I'm not being silly, it's the truth. That's what drugs do, they make you feel happy and as if you can conquer the world, and the next day you'll feel sad… It's just what it is. Trust me, I've experienced it before."

Rufus looked at Lily, his lips pressed closely together as he shrugged her hand off of his before he said: "I don't need a lecture on how bad drugs are right now, Lily. I just want to eat."

"I'm not lecturing you, I'm just telling you the truth. Don't act so irritated."

"I wouldn't if you would just keep your mouth shut and let me eat, why are you so annoying," Rufus snapped.

Lily looked at him with surprise; that was just rude. She got up from her seat before she said: "You know, fine. You'll just eat. I'll see you later." She grabbed her purse and walked out of the cafe, irritated with Rufus' behavior herself now. She kind of expected Rufus to call out and apologize, but he didn't. She sighed; this was stupid. Fucking stupid drugs.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Lily recognized Anne's voice immediately and sighed. She'd been sitting near the pond where she and Rufus had been chilling the night before, smoking cigarettes in the sun.

She turned around and smiled at Anne. "Hey Anne!"

Without asking, Anne sat down next to her. She could tell Lily wasn't very happy. "What's up? I thought you and Rufus had gone out for brunch?"

"Oh, he isn't back yet?" Lily put her sunglasses on her head so she could look at Anne, who shook her head.

"I haven't seen him yet. What's going on?"

Lily sighed. "I think we just had our first argument."

Anne smiled. "Oh, yeah… Those things happen sometimes, huh?"

Lily shrugged. "Yeah, I know… It's just… He seemed so… I don't know, just not himself. He said he felt a bit off, I told him it was the aftermath of the drugs, and he just snapped, saying I was annoying and he just wanted to eat in peace." Lily sighed.

Anne nodded and grabbed her hand. "Hey, cheer up! It's just the freakin' drugs talking. Me and my ex had this shit as well… Difference was that he was a stupid ass and Rufus is a smart guy. He'll figure it out sooner or later."

"I know… I just hope it'll be sooner. I don't want him to ruin things for himself." Anne shook her head. "No, no, he won't. It was his first time last night, I doubt he'll use it again soon."

Lily nodded. "Yeah… Let's hope."

Anne gave her a reassuring smile before getting up again and holding out her hand for Lily. "Come on! We are going to get ourselves a nice cup of coffee, and then you're going to find Rufus and make up."

Lily couldn't help but smile; Anne's enthusiasm seemed to have a good effect on her. She accepted her hand and got up, before giving Anne a hug. "Thank you, Anne. It's good having you around."

Anne smiled at her after the girls let go of each other. "No problem. That's what friends are for, right?"

Lily smiled, and with their arms linked, they made their way to the nearest coffeeshop. "So, what is it with you and Vince?"

Anne chuckled. "Apparently I'm the only girl he stuck with for longer then three days, so I think I should be flattered."

The girls laughed and continued talking as they walked, eager to get themselves a good cup of coffee.

Rufus was leaning against the mini van, lazily smoking the joint in his hand. He wondered why he'd snapped at Lily a couple of hours ago. She really had only been trying to help him, and, when thinking about it, she hadn't even said anything that was mean or even disrespectful. How stupid had he been?

He had been waiting for thirty minutes near their van now, hoping Lily would show up so he could apologize. When she still hadn't showed after he'd finished his smoke, he figured he'd just go find the guys. Lily had to show up at some point eventually.

It was getting dinner time, and Lily and Rufus still hadn't managed to find each other. The band was free that night, and the next day they'd be moving to their next destination. Jon and his band had invited the guys –and their girls,- to come and hang out in their tour bus, which was an actual bus. Which meant plenty of space for all of them to chill and hang out.

When Rufus got there, he noticed Anne was there already and he made his way over to her. "Anne, hey! Do you know where Lily is?"

"Hey. She and I were together this afternoon… I think she went over to one of the motels to take a shower. She should be here anyminute."

Rufus nodded. "Okay, thanks." He couldn't tell if Lily had told Anne about their little argument; Anne definitely wasn't planning on saying something about it, that was sure.

He decided to relax, and grabbed a beer before walking to Richie, Mike and Paul, chatting with them about pretty much nothing.

Lily was rushing, knowing she was a bit late. Anne had told her they were all meeting around seven in Bon Jovi's tour bus, and it was almost seven thirty already. She had just needed a good shower. She hastily put on some make-up. Lily knew Rufus would be there as well, and despite her effort in trying to find him, she hadn't succeeded late that afternoon. Making up that evening would be it then. Their argument had been silly, but she did want him to apologize. She hated it when people snapped at her, especially if it was without reason. She took one last look at her outfit; she had thrown on one of Rufus' blouses, figuring it would suit her perfectly fine as a dress. She was wearing her grey knee boots underneath, and considered herself looking super hot.

Two minutes later, she had packed her stuff and was on her way to the tour bus, which was about a ten minute walk. The weather was still good and she enjoyed her walk, her mind wandering to their next destintion. They were heading towards the west, and Lily couldn't help but be excited about getting closer to the westcoast again. She loved it there.

"Hey doll!" Lily's pretty thoughts got interrupted when a male voice called out for her. Well, doll could be for pretty much anyone around, but she had recognized Jon's voice instantly.

"Hey! You're late.."

"So are you." He winked at her and Lily smiled.

"I know. Just had to get a decent shower."

"Hmm I know, that mini van isn't perfect huh?"

Lily chuckled. "It's.. Okay."

"You're not the kind of woman to be in a mini van though, I can tell. You're more this, west coast queen that's supposed to live in a mansion near the beach, with a huge bed with satin sheets and a jacuzzi on the balcony."

Lily had to chuckle again. "Well, that would most certaintly do. But, I'm fine. As long as I'm with Rufus… It's all good."

Jon nodded before he said: "I heard you guys got into an argument this morning?"

Lily raised her eyebrows. "How do you know about that?" Jon shrugged. "Word goes around fast."

Lily shrugged. "Yeah, we did… But it's nothing big, it's fine already." Jon nodded, and Lily could tell he didn't really believe her, but he was letting it slide anyway. Perhaps that had to do with them reaching the tour bus as well. He opened the door and said: "Well, after you babe," before she made her way into the bus.

Rufus noticed the door of the bus opening immediately. Perhaps because he had been sitting strategically in front of it to make sure he'd notice if Lily would be walking in. He was relieved to find her entering, looking freakin' hot, he had to add. He was a little bit less amused when he noticed Jon getting in right behind her. Why where they getting there together?

When Lily noticed him as well he was relieved to find her smiling at him. He took the last sip of his beer –his 3th already,- before getting up and making her way over to her.

"Hey."

"Hey… I'm sorry."

Lily nodded as she put her arms around his neck. "It's okay."

"No, it's not… You were right."

"I'm always right." She winked at him and Rufus couldn't help but smile.

"Yeah well, we can discuss that later, but, seriously.. I'm sorry, I was being a prick."

"You kind of were… But it's okay. I forgive you." She kissed his lips gently, but they both broke the kiss when they felt arms wrapped around them.

"Ah, the couple made up and is all happy again I see! Time for some Chinese food then!" Jon was standing next tot hem, a huge grin on his face, before dropping his arms again and letting them be again.

Rufus looked at Lily, an eyebrow raised. "You told him about this morning?"

Lily dropped her arms from around his neck and frowned. "No, of course not, why would I?"

"Well, you two seemed super cosy walking in here together…"

Lily crossed her arms in front of her chest, annoyed with Rufus' words. "So, what is it you're saying, that I ran to him to tell him about your stupid behavior this morning and get him to comfort me?"

Rufus got frustrated. "I'm not saying that, I'm just asking you a question."

"Yeah, well, I think it's a stupid question." Lily stormed off to the nearest table with drinks and poured herself a glass of wine, leaving Rufus behind who was trying to decide what to do. He really didn't feel like apologising. He shrugged and was about to walk over to Lily anyway when Mike appeared in front of him, bocking his sight of Lily, who was drinking her glass of wine as if it was juice.

"Careful, there." Lily again recognized Jon's voice and sighed.

"Jon, really, I'm not in the mood."

"Hey, lighten up!" Jon bumped his hips against Lily's to lighten the mood. "We're ordering Chinese, having drinks, having fun…"

"Yeah, would be even more fun if Rufus would lighten the fuck up."

"Oh, still not the happy couple then?" Lily sighed. "He's just so freakin' annoying, insinuating you and I have been flirting and stuff."

Jon chuckled. "Well, I have been flirting with you so I can't blame him for thinking that."

Lily shook her head with a smile. "Yeah, and that's fine, girls flirt with him all the time. He just needs to stop being so overdramatic."

Jon smiled and wiggled his eyebrows. "Come. Dance with me, cheer up. These are supposed to be fun times, no need for you to be sad."

Lily shook her head. "No, no, I'm honestly not in the mood." Jon grabbed her hand though, dragging her to the middle of the room and making some goofy moves in front of her. Lily couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at him. "Come on, Lil, don't be a party pooper. Do as I do."

Jon made some goofy elephant move and Lily couldn't help but continue chuckling as she copied his move. This was silly.

What was also silly was Rufus storming up to the two of them a few seconds later. "Lil, seriously?"

His eyes were dark and he didn't seem very pleased.

"Dude, relax, I was just trying to cheer her up!" Jon slapped his shoulder in a friendly way, but Rufus really wasn't planning on Jon getting even remotely friendly with him. "Dude, get out of my way."

Rufus grabbed Lily's arm and dragged her to the door, wanting to talk to her. Now. Outside. "Rufus, don't. Rufus!"

He closed the door behind them with a bang. "Lil, what are you doing?"

"Let go of me," Lily bit at him. "I don't like you holding me like this."

Rufus softened his hold on Lily and sighed. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have dragged you out there like this."

"No, you shouldn't have." Lily was turning around again to get back inside the bus, but Rufus stopped her.

"Lil, what are you doing?"

"I don't like it when you're acting like this… You are being possessive for no reason, we were just having fun."

"But you're acting all… Flirty with him."

Lily threw her hands in the air, slightly frustrated. "I'm just being nice, Rufus. Girls come flirt with you all the time, you don't see me going nuts over you being nice with them…"

Lily pressed her lips together as she looked at Rufus. He looked all… Cute, jealous, and slightly embaressed.

"Lil… I'm sorry for saying stupid things.. I know you wouldn't go to him for comfort after our stupid argument. I was being stupid, I'm sorry." Rufus held his hand out to her, hoping she would grab it. Yes, he was acting like a jealous prik. Yes, he was jealous. But he trusted her; he had no reason to doubt her at all.

Lily shook her head as she grabbed his hand. "Yes, you were being stupid. But it's okay."

He pulled her closer as he whispered: "You want to go eat Chinese or have fun together?"

Lily chuckled. "I want to do both… Let's get inside… Eat food, have fun with the rest."

Rufus pretended to pout as Lily dragged him back up the stairs that would lead them to the door again.

"Hey Lil?"

"What?" She turned around, standing on step above Rufus. He put his arms around her waist before he said: "Just for the record… I'll be nice, to Jon. Apologize. I'll tell him I head some kind of malfunction in my brain, or something."

Lily chuckled. "Yeah… I don't really care, but I think it's best for your sake. You're his opening act, after all." She winked at him before she kissed his lips. "Come honey."

He couldn't help but pinch her ass as she walked op the steps before saying: "You're hot, by the way. Who's shirt is that anyway?"

Lily turned her head to face him as she winked at him. "Well, yours of course. Come on!"
