Chapter three: My name's Jon.

'So this girl, she can't remember a thing?'...'nope i am afraid not Mr Bon Jovi' Stewart replied, not in the least bit starstruck, he really had no idea who the band were. 'And in what way can i help?' Jon Bon Jovi said as he quickly took a drink, he was in the middle of a break before the last encore but had found time to converse with the First Aider. Stewart looked over at the girl before replying, 'well i thought she most probably didn't come alone, and as all eyes are on you out there, maybe you could put her up there for a minute and see if anyone claims her?'. Jon glanced at the girl, then back at Stewart with a concerned look; 'slight flaw in your plan' he said pausing to wipe sweat from his face. 'What if some random stranger up to no good claims her?'. Scratching his head Stewart replied, 'Well obviously we are going to have to veto them all, which could take time....we have no precedent on this really. I guess the Police would be willing to put her up for the time being until...'......'JON! YOU'RE UP!' someone called from the side of the stage, 'listen that's my cue' Jon replied 'i'll see what i can do'. Jon then turned to the girl who Stewart had pointed out...

'Just sit here for a minute' he had said...she glanced at her watch, that was nearly five minutes ago she thought and huffed. 'I just want to go home, wherever that is, and relax, maybe have an aspirin or five for this headache'....She was sat in an area that appeared to be a like big warehouse or something, people were milling around everywhere, she was just sat on a deckchair waiting....'Hey you' someone called from somewhere behind her. Ignoring it she just carried on watching the passers-by. 'HEY! you with the blonde hair, shortstuff!'. She turned around to see who was creating the commotion. Stewart was standing with a man, and waving her over. The guy was probably in his early thirties she thought, with blonde hair quite long and pulling a t-shirt on over his bare chest with no hint of embarrasment being in front of all these people. She walked over to the two men. Jon just stood and watched her walk, she was short, probably 5'2' but cute with it, blonde hair that was layered and sat on her shoulders, her head tipped slightly to look at the floor. When she reached them she glanced up and Jon just looked into her eyes, they were the deepest blue, but red from crying. He just wanted to grab her up for a hug, she didn't cut the happiest sight... He snapped himself out of it as he realised he was staring at her, he just grabbed her hand and marched her up some steps behind him...'My name's Jon' he said before practically dragging her out into the open.

She stood there eyes wide open, her jaw she was certain was somewhere on the floor right about now. He had pulled her onstage out in front of thousands of people who were all cheering and clapping...She just stood in awe, Jon next to her was talking and motioning to her but everything just seemed fuzzy.
The cameras for the big screen on the stage moved to focus on Jon and the girl.
'So i wonder if anyone out there would like to help me out?' Jon asked on mic to the whole crowd. Cue a massive roar and random screams of 'i love you Jon!' and 'Anything!'.
'Well i have a girl here who i need to find any friends or relatives for, if you are out there could you please go to the nearest St John's Ambulance or Missing persons Posts, thank you very much'.
He flicked off the mic for a second and leaned into her ear, 'Listen if they are out there that will find them for sure'. 'Thank you' she somberly replied, Jon kissed her softly on the cheek and pointed for her to go backstage again, watching her as she went, he sub-conciously shook his head. She walked off as the crowd cheered more and the band began to play the intro to another song...'Time ain't nothing but time, it's a verse and no rhyme, and it all comes down to you...'
