Water Ch. 245 - Secrets That We'll Take To The Grave

 

 

  

 

Richie jumps up and rushes to the door.  His first thought is Dalton, and he mentally psych's himself up to punch the asshole in the face. 

Water Ch. 244 - No Hail Mary Will Save Me

 

Her pain was almost too much to take. From the physical abuse she had just suffered through, at the hands of her ex Dalton and through the emotional mess that she is now, it's being made worse by her muscle tension and her shivering. 

Water Ch. 243 - Tuesdays Just Might Go My Way

 

 

 

The plane trip home was pretty uneventful, so much in fact that Beth dozed off.  When it was time to land, the flight attendant woke her so she could prepare for landing. 

 

Water Ch. 242 - Hoping It Would Never End

 

 

Driving her to the airport was a tough thing for him to do.  He had just spent the last few weeks with her, in Europe, but now it's time for her to go home.

Water Ch. 241 - Nobody Wanna Fade Away

                                                   

"Babe, I have to get going." Jon says to his best friend, that's laying on the beach in her red bikini.  

Water Ch. 240 - My Temptation Turns To Fate

 

Dropping his suitcase when he notices it was Jon that answered the door, Dalton asks "Is Beth available?" 

Water Ch. 239 - It's Just The Wind Blowing Through The Secrets That We Keep

 

Mornings are a bitch, especially when you're a night person.  This morning was particularly tough on both Jon and Beth. 

Water Ch. 238 - Take Your Time, Take It Slow

 

From under the stage Beth could hear that the fans of Greece were getting the show that was long overdue.  They were screaming, cheering and chanting, not wanting any of it to end. 

Water Ch. 237 - My Most Beautiful Regret

For the last two days, Beth has enjoyed her time away and her time alone.  Other than ordering room service, she has talked to no one. She didn't want to talk to anyone.

Water Ch. 236 - Pretzel Man's Wearing Gucci Glasses

They guys landed and were shuttled from the airport as fast as the drivers could get them to the hotel. 

Water Ch. 235 - Will Anybody Want What's Left Of Me?

The sun and the sand was exactly what Beth needed.  She took a deep breath as she sat on the beach, looking out over the families playing in the water. 

Water Ch. 234 - Not All Our Dreams Are Coming True

 

She watches him doze off and that gives her a little bit of comfort, however, she can hear his words ringing in his ears.  He can't be her friend, he can't let her back into his life. 

Water Ch. 233 - That One Fateful Night Changed Our Lives

 

 

Beth sets the alarm for 4:am and lays down to tries to get some rest.  She knows that she can sleep on the plane, but she is mentally and emotionally exhausted. 

Water Ch. 232 - Some Blonde Gives Me Nightmares

 

 

"I'm here due to a layover.  Can you imagine my surprise when I ran in to you downstairs?  I heard that you moved to midtown.  This isn't midtown."

Water Ch. 231 - Hoping It Would Never End

 

 

"Does Dalton make you happy?" he says to her as she takes a step out the door.  She stops, walks back in and closes the door most of the way.

Water Ch. 230 - Never Say Goodbye?

"I'll listen.  Go ahead." Beth says to Jon as he takes his place back on the couch.

Water Ch. 229 - I Got To Confess, Sometimes I'm A Mess

 

Pressing the button for the 10th floor, Beth can feel the knots in her stomach getting tighter. 

Water Ch. 228 - We Could Take It All Apart, Or Hold It All Together

 

"Jon.  What are you doing here?" she quickly asks, as she kneels down to pick up her purse and the contents that fell on the floor.

Water Ch. 227 - Stuck At A Stop Light

 

 

 

Standing at the gate, waiting to hear how long she's delayed, Beth is getting angrier by the minute.  No one can give her or the other passengers a straight answer. 

Water Ch. 226 - It Seems You Always Wait For Life To Happen

 

 

She can't shake what has been on her mind for the last couple of days.  She can't seem to figure out why Jon left the New Jersey house to go live in a Manhattan apartment.  In no scenario does it make sense to her. 

Water Ch. 225 - Blow Out The Candles On The Cake

It all played out in the headlines, just like Beth knew that it would.  When she pulled out of the New Jersey driveway that spring afternoon, she swore she would never go back.   

Water Ch. 224 - But Know That If You Walk Out On Me That Darling I'd Be Gone

 

"What are you doing out here?" Jon asks Beth as he walks up behind her. 

Water Ch. 223 - If I Tried To Make Believe

 

 

Scratching her head as she walks down the stairs, she wonders why the house is so quiet.  She couldn't hear any noise coming from the kitchen and she didn't hear a television.  She pours herself a cup of coffee and heads off to find Jon.  Since he wasn't in bed with her and she didn't hear any noise, she assumes that he is out running, but checks his office to be sure. 

Water Ch. 222 - Can We Have A Do-Over

 

She didn't have the will power to resist his touch, his kisses and the warmth of his breath on her flesh. 

Water Ch. 221 - I Been Reading Your Lips

 

 

The black Escalade pulls into the open gate and stops at the front door. 

Water Ch. 220 - Can't Let The Clouds Cover The Sun

The South American tour was going along nicely, with three days left and things back home couldn't be any better, he thought.  Walking off the stage and heading to his escape car, Dawn hands Jon his cell phone.  "It's Jesse."  His look quickly went to one of worry, knowing what time it is, back home.

Water Ch. 219 - We'd Just Kiss

 

Christmas at the Bongiovi house has always been one of entertaining, food, family and friends.  This year wasn't any different. 

Water Ch. 218 - Please Come Home For Christmas

 

It's one o'clock in the morning and Beth is getting dressed.  She pulls on her jeans, puts one of Jon's hoodies on and walked into her closet to get her Uggs. 

Water Ch. 217 - Subject: I Miss You More

 

He has finally made it up to his room, and has 10 seconds to himself.  The show was one of their longest and he's sure it was a sold out venue.  Exhausted and starting his first night alone, he sits on his hotel bed and powers up his laptop to respond to her email.  It's the least he could do for the woman that he adores.

Whater Ch. 216 - You Had Me From Hello

"I read your email. Thank you." He says to her when she answers her cell phone. "What are you doing?"

Water Ch. 215 - Subject: I miss you.

 

Jon was pleased to open his email and see one that was from bethannbongiovi.  Sitting on the arm of the couch in his dressing room, he starts to read..............

Water Ch. 214 - It's All About Learning The Things You Love

Their phone call was short and sweet.  She's glad that she had the chance to talk to him before he hit the air.  She was a little embarrassed by her behavior, her feelings were hurt and she couldn't understand how he could forget her birth date. 

Water Ch. 213 - I Didn't Really Miss Your Birthday, Baby

 

Beth reaches over and opens the door for Jon to leave.  They are greeted by his driver and Jon isn't ready to go.  He holds up his hand, stopping the driver from approaching them.  "I need a minute."

Water Ch. 212 - I Wish I'd Seen Ya Blow Those Candles Out

Bags are packed and at the door waiting for the car to come take Jon to the airport.  His morning was filled with goodbyes with the kids and last minute tour details.  He was running on empty, but running none the less.  They both know what's coming and neither wanted to address it.  

Water Ch. 211 - I Ain't Asking For Forgiveness

Stepping out of the shadows, Beth yells at Billy "Turn that off now."  Walking up to the boys, she takes the remote from Billy and looks at him with a look of disgust.  "Did you bring that here, Billy?  Did you bring that tape into this house?"  She is embarrassed more than anything, but when Billy laughs about it she quickly gets pissed.

Water Ch. 210 - I Could Kick Your Ass

 

"Okay you three, what do you want to do?"  Jon looks at his oldest children, giving them a choice of things to do. "We can go try miniature golf, go take a walk down the shore or maybe we could go visit uncle Matt or uncle Tony?"

Water Ch. 209 - There's Something So Familiar

 

 

Pete, the loyal employee and dependable family friend brought the kids home from school.  It's Dot's weekend, but with Jon leaving in a few days they were staying with him until he hit the road.  The tour starts in New Jersey and ends in New Jersey, only a dozen dates scheduled on the east coast for the first leg of the tour so he wanted them as much as he could have them.  Dorothea understood and really didn't have a leg to stand on, if she wanted to fight it.

Water Ch. 208 - What Else Can I Say?

When the doctor confirmed what he had thought, he pumped Beth full of broad spectrum antibiotics and when she started feeling better, he released her to go home. 

Water Ch.207 - I Painted You A Lifetime

 

 

He said forever and he swore he would never let her down.  Will she see it that way when she wakes up and sees that she's back in a hospital?  He didn't care, she's been sick for far too long and she's the only one in the house that's been sick at all.  He feels that something is wrong.

For you - from me. Thank you :-)

Water Ch. 206 - We'll Make It, I Swear

                                                  

"Yes, we're home." Jon says into the phone.  Beth had just woken up and she's still kind of groggy. She can hear Jon and she wonders who he's talking to. "I'll let the staff know you're coming.  Thank you."  And Jon ends his phone call.

Water Ch. 205 - Love Me Back To Life

 

 

The helicopter ride back to New Jersey only took a few hours.  Beth wasn't feeling well, so she just leaned on Jon and tucked her hand in between her legs.  He kissed her forehead and said, "You have a slight fever, are you feeling that bad?"

Wate Ch. 204 - Every Time I Look At You, Baby I See Something New

 

The day is drawing to a close, as they sit in their hotel room and talk about whatever comes to mind.  It was a rare occasion when that would happen, they had such busy lives that it seemed that they were passing up the little things and getting lost in the big things. 

Water Ch. 203 - Because We Can

 

The knock on the door startled Beth awake.  She looks over at Jon's spot and he seems to be missing.  Where the hell is he?  She gets out of bed and puts on the hotel provided bathrobe and answers the door.  It was Jon with their breakfast cart.

Water Ch. 202 - Being My Eyes, When I Can't See

 

 

 

"I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted."  Beth bellows as they walk into their hotel suite, dropping her bag at the door.

Water Ch. 201 - Something So Familar

 

 

Beth can't help but feel what she's feeling.  She is amazed that she was able to plan and execute their whole ceremony and Jon never picked up on it.  She looks up at him, while they are still dancing and asks him, "How did I do?"

Water Ch. 200 - I Don't Wanna Make The Same Mistakes

 

Standing at the archway with the men and the boys that he cherishes most , he hears the music start and turns around to see the woman that was walking down the pathway to commit herself to him, and his family. 

Water Ch. 199 - I Call It Love, They Call It Living In Sin

Knocking on his office door, Stephanie peeks her head in, "Hey dad, what did you get Beth for a commitment present?"

Water Ch. 198 - Where Young Love Never Dies

Jon looks at her with fear in his eyes, "What?"
