Chapter 2

It had been over a week since he had heard about her death, the singer sat looking at the paper work in front of him. what was once a reminder of the pretty little six year old girl that called him her best friend every time he visited her sweet little face always brightened up his day she always reminded him of his own daughter. Tears filled his eyes as he sat looking at a picture he got of her thru the post off her mother.
Looking at the photo he didnt notice his friends walk in ready to start the work, Seeing jon really down David walked over and put his hand on his friends shoulder.
"Hey how you holding up" he whispered comforting seeing the photo in his hand. "She knew you thought of her and thats what kept her going for as long as she did she met her hero and thats everything she wanted you made that little girl so happy jon you made her time with you special and thats all the matters" David assured him.
"Yeah but still she was so young it just wasnt right not at her age not her" He whispered his voice getting lower his whisper was so quiet David was surprised he could hear his friend.

Walking into the room Richie and Tico fell quiet when they saw jon slouched over the table almost in tears. they knew how much he had taken to the little girl he treat her like she was his own and now she was gone the pain just would not leave him. Looking at each other they sat down not saying another word to any one he got up and walked into the recording part.
"Hes pretty beat up about it huh" Tico answered looking at his friend trip over the stool and almost throw it thru the window.
"Maybe we should just give it a miss he cant work when hes like that"
"Well we could but we need to get this sorted and he knows it, she wasnt family she was just a fan he really needs to pull himself together"
"Just a fan" over hearing what Richie had said Jon looked up clenching his fists tightly together Jon grabbed his jacket and left slamming the door into the wall.

Jumping in to the car Jon went for a long walk pulling up next to the park he got out and started into the entrance when he thought he head something behind him.
"Stop it Jon come on man your cracking up" ignoring the familiar sound of a young girl crying out his name he tried to bite his tongue and keep walking.
"Jon" the faint cries got louder and louder as he walked
"Oh my god stop it all ready" he cried "Your gone i couldn't help you im sorry" Braking down Jon collapsed onto the bench putting his head in his hands he tried to ignore the gentle brushing against his hands.
"Why do you haunt me" he soft cries were muffled out by the tears that fell down his face.
"Jon" Taking his hand in hers the little girl pulled herself up onto the bench beside him.
About to take his hand away he looked up, his face went pale and his words got trapped in his throat falling backwards he landed flat on the grass. Jumping up the little girl ran to his side and curled up over him giving him a cuddle.

"Lauren.... but how?" the tears came faster as he held on to her his smile came back on his face.
"Her father lied to you he got jealous of how much you had spent on her so the sick fuck made up she had died and called you to tell you" her mother replied watching her little girl laying over the singer not letting him up. "Lauren come on let Jon up"
"She's fine really" Jon laughed. "How you been" he asked sitting up still cuddling the little girl. Kissing her cheek the singer didnt want to let her go at first.
"Were both good she had the operation they managed to get rid of it" her mother smiled sitting down on the grass beside him.
"We came to say goodbye" she answered sadly "Were moving away from here away from her father"
"Oh i see, i hope you are very happy and that you both have a good life" he smiled looking down at Lauren who was now curled up on his knee slowly drifting asleep. kissing her head he slowly got to his feet hugging her he walked over to her mom and handed her over hugging her tightly one last time Jon give lauren back to her mom.

"You liked that sweetheart" her mom asked watching Lauren's little face all light up after seeing her friend again.
"I hope that the both of you will be ok and have a good life and if there is anything you need hun anything at all just let me know" Jon smiled hugging her before kneeling back down to see Lauren.
"Be good for mom eh?" he smiled at her holding her hands. "You will have to tell me where you are so i can send the tickets off for the next concert" he smiled giving her another hug.
Seeing them to the airport he sat and watched them as they boarded the plane waving them off he waited till the plane was gone completely then drove off back to the studio known that now at least she was safe and well but hurt that anyone could lie about their child like that.
