Chapter 104 - Holding On?


"I don't give a shit what you have to do, I need you to find her and I need you to do it quick." he yells into the phone, once again wishing he could slam it down.

Chapter 103 - Seven Days Of Monday Morning





Frantically reading his email, he calls Dorothea and asks if she had heard from Stephanie.  "No, she's up at school, why?"  Jon is pacing his hotel room, thankful that he was going home today, but the plane doesn't leave for 5 more hours.  

Subject: Stephanie

My Dearest Jon,

I am sending you this email out of courtesy and for the simple fact that you should know, if I was a parent, I would want to know.  Stephanie does not want you to know this.

I am with Stephanie right now and we are going to be away for a few days.  She overdosed on heroine last night and they called me, since she has me listed as her ICE in her phone.  She's doing fine, a little scared but a few days away will do her some good. I don't believe that it was intentional, I think she was experimenting and it got away from her.  

It looked like we got in and out of the hospital under the radar, but I'm not sure.  I thought you should know before the news get a hold of it.

Please don't try to contact us, we will have our phones off, per her request.  I think that she needs some time, maybe she's not coping as well as we all thought that she was.  I will keep you updated as needed.

Beth

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 
 
A phone ringing in the night scared the hell out of Beth.  She answers it, sounding half asleep, "Hello."
 
"Miss Adams?"
 
"Yes.  Who is this?"
 
"Are you Beth Adams?" said the voice on the other end.
 
"YES, who is this?"
 
"My name is Officer Alexander, we have Miss Stephanie Bongiovi here in the emergency room at Staten Island General Hospital, can you come to the hospital?"
 
"Is she okay, what happened?"  Beth sits up in bed and turns on the bedside table.
 
"Ma'am she's fine.  We need you to come down here."
 
"Did you call her parents?"  Beth is on high alert, with her stomach in her throat. 
 
"She wanted us to call you.  Please come to the hospital, I can explain it all to you then."
 
"You need to call her mom and dad."
 
With a growing irritation, he says, "She is an adult, we can't call her parents.  She wants you to come here."
 
"I'll be right there."
 
She hangs up the phone, dresses, brushes her teeth and flies from Red Bank into Staten Island.  She runs into the hospital and they direct her to Stephanie's room.  As she pulls back the curtain she sees that Stephanie is sleeping.  She looks around for an officer and finds Officer Alexander.  "Excuse me, are you Officer Alexander?"
 
He turns to look at Beth and says, 'I am, you must be Miss Adams."
 
"What happened to Stephanie?  Is she going to be okay?" the officer can see that Beth is anxious, he can see that she's scared.
 
"They tell me that she will be fine.  She was brought in with a heroine overdose."
 
Beth's heart and jaw drops, "Oh my God.  She'll be okay?"
 
"Yes.  The District Attorney may charge her with possession of a controlled substance." 
 
"Oh dear."  Beth turns and goes back to be with Stephanie.  She sits at her side and waits for her to wake up.

Chapter 102 - I Can Break My Fall



It was night one of a two night stint in London and Jon knows that he needs to call Beth.  Show was over and he feels like something is missing.  They can't maintain anything through text messages, but they're both pretty pissed off at each other and really don't know why.

Chapter 101 - She Never Wanted The Moon





Not able to deal with her, not able to deal with what she did with Stephanie right there, Beth left the room.  Every ounce of her being wanted to rip Dorothea's hair out of her head, but she would never do anything like that in front of Rose.

Chapter 100 - Say A Prayer That We Might Find Our Happy Ending



The police took statements from Beth and Jon before they hauled Dani/Melissa off to jail.  Jon walked the policeman to the door and thanked them, feeling like he was a dog that had been kicked in the head.
