| Sometimes life isn’t that bad By Kristin This should have been her happiest night so far, but it wasen’t. She had been waiting a long time for her favorit band, Bon Jovi to come to her town, and now the their were here! She had been a fan since she was a twelve years old, now she was twenty three, and their where still the best band she knew. She had been on two concert before, and had really looking forward another. So she was upset when she found out that she couldn’t afford the ticket. Her financial position wasen’t so good, she had just quite her job, and had a temporary job that didn’t give her much money. She looked at her watch, the concert had started and she wasen’t there. She turned on her favorit record and she could imagine herself out there in the audience, see Jon sing, hear Richie play guitar, Tico banging the drums and David play keyboard. Suddenly the phone rang, she turned down the music and answered. “ Jessica” “ Hi Jessie, I though you were home! Don’t tell me that your sitting in your sofa alone, with a glas of wine, all depressed.” Jessica looked at her opened bottle of white wine and smiled, Sarah knew her to well. “ Are you going to yell at me if I said I did?” she repiled. “ No but I don’t want my best friend to be depressed. Can’t you come over here? I have some friends here, we are having a little party. Please, I would be so glad if you came!” Sarah said. “ You’re the best Sarah, you know that? Okay, I’m coming!” “Good, see ya then! Bye!” Jessica hang up the phone and ran into the bedroom. What should she wear? She decided to wear a red dress and high heels. She put her dark brown hair up in a twist and put on some make up. It was dark and it was raining outside, she drove with Bon Jovi playing in the speaker of course. She had picked the album “One wild night” because it was their live album, and again she could feel herself being in the audience. She really liked Bon Jovi live, they gave everything they had and did it so good. It was true what they said, Bon Jovi is one of the best, damn live band/show you can see. Suddenly she saw a car in the ditch, she pulled into the road and got out of the car. It was still raining and she got wet quickly, she ran to car and looked through the broken window. She saw a young man inside, he was laying over the steering-wheel. He looked unconscious and he was bleeding. She didn’t know how, but somehow she succeed to take him out of the car and put him in safe. She placed his head in her lap, and covered him in her jacket to keep him warm. “ Can you hear me?” She said. The man started to move. “Lay still, you may have broken something” She said quickly. He opened he’s eyes and her heart stoped beating. She had been in panic and hadn’t really take time to look at the man, but now she saw it was Richie, Bon Jovi’s guitarplayer! Thousands of thoughts ran through her head, suddenly she felt nervous. What should she say? The man in her lap was the man that she had loved and admired since she was twelve years old! “ Were am I?” he asked confused. “ You… you have been in a accident, the ambulance are here any minute. Just lay still” she repiled. “ Who are you?” He looked up at her, she smiled at him. “I’m Jessica” “ I’m… “ he started but she interrupted him. “Oh, I know who you are, Richie. I was going to you concert, but something… came up. I have been on two concert before, you guys are great!” “I’m glad you liked them, we want everyone to have a good time.” He said taking a deep breath. “Oh I wish I was there tonight, did you play Wanted dead or alive?” she asked. “Of course, is that your favorite song?” he asked. “It’s one of my favorite! You have done so many good songs, so it’s hard to choose just one”she replied. She could see a small smile on his face, and she was impressed that he could be so calm in the situation they were in. ” Thank you for saving me life, Jessica.”he said looking at her. “Oh, I didn’t do anything” She felt her face turn red. “Yes you did, you could have just let me lie here. But you didn’t, and I want to thank you somehow.” In that moment they both heard the ambulance. “Give me your number, I have to talk to you when I feel better. I have a pen in my jacket” he said with a small smile. Jessica took the pen and wrote down her number on his arm. Suddenly two men came towards them with a stretcher, they put Richie on the stretcher and to him to the ambulance. *** One week later *** This was absurd, he couldn’t remember her and he would not call! Jessica decided to stop waiting by the phone and go out with her friends. Sarah couldn’t believe that she had actually met Richie Sambora, and she couldn’t either. Maybe it had all been a dream? Then it happened, the phone ranged! “Okay, here we go!” she wispered before she answered. “Jessica” “Hi Jessica, it’s Richie! Do you remember me?” she heard a dark voice say in the other end. “Of course I remember you! How do you feel?” she replied. “ I’m feeling much better, thanks to you and the doctors. Do you remember that I said that I wanted to thank you somehow?” “ Yes ”she said breathless. “ I can get you tickets to our next show, I hope you can come” he said. She was just standing there, not saying a word. It was like a dream come true again! “Are you still there, Jessica?” He laugh. “Oh, I’m here! I just don’t know what to say, thank you so much!” she said happy. “It’s nothing, compared what you did” he replied. “It is for me” she smiled. “Oh, by the way, would you like to meet the rest of the band?” he asked. “ I would be the happiest girl in the world, Richie! I would!” The next day a limousine came to pick her up and drove her to the hotel here the band were staying at. She meet the other guy in the band, and Richie. Two hours later she was standing in front of the stage, while the band was playing. She felt so special everytime Richie looked at her and gave her a wink. After they had finish playing “It’s my life”, Richie took the microphone and said: “ This song is for a very special lady, in the audince tonight. She saved my life the other week, when I was in a accident and this is for her. I hope you have a good time, Jessica! He looked at her and smiled, and she smiled back, then he started to play “Wanted dead or alive.” She closed her eyes and thought that sometimes life isn’t that bad after all… |
