Okay, peoples, here's another music vid to add to the collection. This one
centers on Jonny. I figureed, I've done enough that center on Jessie and
well, I don't want Jonny to feel left out. So from now on, a few more Jonny
ones. It's pretty depressing, too. And as to "Legends", it will probably take
a little while for me to get the next part out cause I'm so busy in school.
Je deteste l'ecole parce que tout mes profs sont tres stupid!!!(sorry,
there's my french class kicking in) Thanx =) PS, it's kinda long. Sorry
DISCLAIMER: don't own Jonny or Jessie ::yawn:: ::sigh:: Bon Jovi owns this
song.....
RATING: J/J HR (what else?) and this one is definitly angsty. PS, it doesn't
have a happy ending
ARCHIVERS: it's yours, just lemme know first
Bed Of Roses by Jon Bon Jovi
As the music starts, there is a watery shot of an older Jessie shoving Jonny
away. Fades to a present day shot of Jonny entering a bar
Jonny sitting on a stool in the dark bar. He is completely wasted, an empty
glass in one hand
In the corner, an old man is drunk asleep in front of the piano, his head is
resting in his arms on the keys
Camera circles twice around Jonny, then focuses on his bloodshot eyes
He blinks and shakes his head as if to clear it, then signals the bartender
<'Cause a bottle of vodka>
The bartender puts a bottle on the counter. Jonny drops some money on the bar
and stumbles outside, the bottle grasped firmly in one hand
He stumbles in the front door of his apartment, and pulls his coat off as he
walks to the bedroom. He drops it on the floor and falls onto the bed,
holding his head
Jonny waking up in a cold sweat from a dream about Rachel's murder
Rubbing his head, he rolls out of bed
He stumbles down the hall to the bathroom
He flips the light on and looks in the mirror. His handsome face is pale, his
eyes bloodshot with dark rings unde them, his hair is a mess
He splashes some water on his face, chews two dry asprin and crawls back into
bed
He falls into a restless slepp filled with dreams of kissing Jessie
Jonny wakes up with a terrible hangover
He rolls over, holding his pounding head
He pulls on a pair of shoes, grabs his coat off the floor, and leaves,
slamming the door behind him. He walks down the streets, his head hung and
his hands in his pockets
He finds himself in front of Jessie's apartment and looks up at her window
He looks down at the sidewalk, wanting to talk to her but afraid that she'll
turn him away.
He leans against the street lamp, trying to decide what to do
He closes his eyes and somewhat sadly, somewhat wistfully remebers a time
long ago
watery shot of a teenage Jonny and Jessie wrestling in the flowers on the
lawn of the Quest Compound
fades back to present day Jonny. He is asleep on his bed, tossing and turning
wrestlessy
a watery shot of Jessie smiling
back to Jonny in the present. He pulls a faded rose out of his pocket, looks
at it for a moment, and then back up at Jessie's window again
Jonny hurls a pebble at Jessie's window. After a moment, she opens it and
looks outside, surprised to see Jonny
She realizes that he's been drinking and turns away, disgusted. With one last
look back, Jonny turns and walks away.
Jonny standing by a wishing well - he tosses a dime in. Aclose up, slow
motion shot of the dime as it splashes into the water and sinks slowly to the
bottom
Jonny standing inside a telephone booth, watching as the rain pours down
outside. Overlapping that scene is a shot of Jessie watching the rain outside
her window
Sighing, Jonny pushes open the door to the phone booth and steps outside,
pulling his collart over his head to protect himself from the rain. Sighing,
Jessie turns away from the window
Jonny runs through the rain, avoiding puddles as best he can
Jonny sitting on his bed, looking at a picture of Jessie on his nighttable
Holding the picture against his heart, he falls back against his bed and
closes his eyes
His mouth forms the words "Love you, Jessie"
A watery shot of Jonny and Jessie making out on a bed with a flowered
bedspread
Watery shot of Race throwing Jonny up against a wall threateningly when he
catches them
Watery shot of Jonny wrapping his arms around Jessie's waist from behind and
whispering something in her ear that makes her giggle
Jonny sitting on a bar stool, looking into his glass. He thinks that he sees
Jessie in the glas with roses in her hair. He shakes his head and blinks, and
she disappears
Jonny in his apartment. He hurls an empty glass across the room and it hits
the wall, shattering into thousands of little pieces
A girl in the bar approaches Jonny and puts her hand seductively on his
shoulder
Jonny turns to look at her and for a moment imagines that it's Jessie smiling
down at him.
The illusion fades and he shrugs the girl off
Looking down into his glass, Jonny begins to laugh hysterically at the way
life has treated him. He lays his head down on the bar, unable to stop
laughing. But when he finally looks up, there are tears of sadness on his
face.
Shot of Jessie in her room, looking at an old worn photograph of her and
Jonny. They are both young and smiling, with their arms around each other.
She closes her eyes, thinking about the fun and innocence of thoise days when
they were younger -- and happier
She remembers a time when she and Jonny loved each other and knows that he
still loves her. For a while she had thought that she didn't love him anymore
but now wonders if maybe, deep down, she still does.
Jonny thinking of Jessie again, remembering the time when they used to talk
for hours on the phone
Jonny standing in the dim light of a stree light right outside Jessie's
window
He is prepared to stay there all night, all day -- forever
Jessie peeking out from behind her curtain at Jonny. It's cold and he's
shivering as he starts to fall asleep on the sidewalk outside her window. It
makes her sad to see him like this.
He sees her looking at him and extends his hand, as if asking her to give him
another chance.
Watery shot of Jonny pushing Jessie behind him as Zin approaches menacingly
A watery shot of Jonny and Jessie kisssing -- she is holding a dozen roses in
one hand behind his head -- roses that he gave her
Jonny sitting on his bed, a bottle of whiskey on the nighttable, and a
picture of Jessie beside him, along with a goodbye note. He slowly pulls a
gun out from under his pillow
He raises the gun to his temple and looks up at the ceiling -- towards the
heavens
He pulls the trigger and falls backward on his bed. His last thought is a
watery shot of Jessie -- with roses in her hair
