FEEDBACK <3

“Hey babe, whatcha doing?” You ask, walking over to where Josh is sitting with his guitar. You recognized what he was playing from spending so much time with John when you were younger, “Scales?”

“Yeah, Jonathan, Clint and Eric and coming over later, we’re gonna look over the Dot Hacker stuff.” He says.

“Oh god, I hate to sound stupid but who are those people and what is the ‘Dot Hacker stuff’?” You ask and he rolls his eyes and laughs, “Hey come on we’ve only been dating for a few months!” You say defensively.

“Dot Hacker is my other band. Eric, Clint and Jonathan are members of said band” He says, spelling it out for you as though you were a small child.

“Oh sweet...have I ever met them before?” You ask, curiously

“No, but they’re cool, you’ll like them I think” He says.

“I’m gonna have lunch with Clara and Loesha in a couple hours, do you mind that I’ll be gone for some of the time? Do you want me to leave you alone the whole time?” You ask, “I just want to make this space as comfortable as you need it to be”

“I don’t care” He says laughing, “We can work with you here, we can work with you gone, no big deal” He says taking your hand and kissing you.

You kiss for a few minutes before you separate again, your curiosity getting the best of you, “So this band how have I never heard about them before?” You ask and he sighs.

“So many questions,” He responds with a smile and you roll your eyes, “Well we recorded our album a few years ago, before I even knew you. Plus we’re all touring and session musicians—or at least used to be—so we barely are ever all in town at the same time for long enough to get things done.” He says.

“Wait you have an album! I’m the worst girlfriend ever how have I not listened to this yet?”  You say feeling hurt, unable to believe you didn’t know about this.

“I don’t know, it was never brought up” He says shrugging, “The album hasn’t even come out yet, I told you, no time”

“Ok I’ll buy that” You say grinning, he kisses you once more before picking up his guitar and beginning to play again.

You spend the next few hours sitting on the couch reading the paper with Josh’s feet in your lap as he plays guitar.

At around noon the doorbell rings, “That’s probably one of the guys,” Josh says putting the guitar down and walking towards the door.

He opens it up to the door to reveal two guys standing on your doorstep. One was carrying a guitar case, wore glasses and had chin length black hair sticking out of beanie and the other with a meticulous goatee and mustache combo that reminded you of a super villain.

“Hey guys, you wanna come in or just stand there all day” He says and they both enter. They exchange casual greetings and jokes before Josh turns to you.

“Oh right, of course—guys this is my girlfriend Ella Louise” He says motioning to you, “Lou, these guys are Jonathan and Clint.” He adds.

“Really great to meet you guys” You say shaking both their hands.

“You too,” Says Jonathan, “I can’t believe Josh has a girlfriend” He says jokingly, elbowing Josh in the ribs and exchanging a laugh with Clint.

“Yeah, and someone who’s this fine looking, damn Klinghoffer” Clint stage whispers, and Josh blushes scarlet.

“Shut it” Josh says and you laugh, rubbing affectionate circles into his back.

“So do you know if Eric’s on his way?” Asks Clint.

“Yeah, he said he was on his way but who knows” Says Josh shrugging and they exchange a laugh again.

“Hey do you guys want anything to drink, I was just gonna make some tea” You ask.

“Yeah, tea sounds great” Says another voice coming through the open door, “Hi by the way, I’m Eric” He says waving.

“Hey Eric, nice of you to drop in” Says Josh sarcastically, giving him a pat on the back, “I’d like you to meet Lou...my girlfriend” He says and you shake Eric’s hand.

“Ooh Josh has a girl-” He begins but Clint cuts him off.

“Don’t even man, we’ve already been there and you missed it, snooze you loose” He says and you laugh.

You make the tea and sit around talking with them until you hear Clara’s car honking from outside.

“Oh shit babe, I gotta go, Clara’s here” You say getting up off the couch in a rush and grabbing your jacket, “Bye, love you” You say giving him a quick kiss.

“Love you too, call me if you need a ride home” He says and you nod.

“I will. Bye guys, it was nice talking to you, lets do it again soon.” You say before rushing out the door.

You have a nice lunch and by the time you get home a couple hours later everyone’s gone from the house, “Honey, I’m home” You shout but there’s no response.

“Josh?” You shout when you walk into the deserted living room.

“Up here” Shouts a voice coming from upstairs. You go upstairs and when you get up stairs you’re surprised to see him messing around with something on the computer. He usually just complains about technology.

“Hey so how was everything? Did whatever you were doing go well?” You ask.

“Yeah really well actually, we actually ended up recording a new song to add on to the album!” He says excitedly

“That’s great! I thought you guys were just like mixing or something today I didn’t know you were actually working on something new” You say excitedly.

“Yeah its actually sort of why I invited everyone over here... I just didn’t want to say anything because I wasn’t sure if I was actually going to go through with showing it to them, its one of the most open and vulnerable things I’ve ever written lyrically” He says.

“Josh that’s amazing! Can I hear it?” You ask, excitedly.

“Yeah, that’d be great I’ve actually been messing around with the mix since the guys left, trying to get it perfect before you got home” He says.

You clap and grin in anticipation as he presses play and the music starts.

Even before you hear the lyrics you are instantly in love with the song, its so beautiful. You recognize it a tiny bit from Josh playing it around the house over the past couple days but it sounded so much better with all the other instruments rounding out the sound.

Once the lyrics start you instantly melt, they were so perfect, so striking, so raw, you felt your heart swell with each word. You’re an eye opener/I’m an eye closer

By the time the song is over you feel tears forming in your eyes.

“Josh its so beautiful, I love it” You whisper leaning over and kissing him.

“Yeah I hoped you would” He quietly says with a soft smile, “It’s about you, just in case you hadn’t guessed” He adds.

“How’d you come up with it?” You ask.

“Flea said it to me once.” He says, “When we had the talk after you and I came back from our trip. He said that we were perfect more one another because you live life with your eyes open and a lot of times I just live life with my eyes closed. That phrase just kind of stuck with me and I decided to make it into a song”

“Josh that is so great, I honestly can’t get over how great the song is, really. I’m so honored to be the subject of something so wonderful” You whisper, “You’re so talented babe”

“Thank you Ella Louise,” He says kissing your nose, “I love you”

“I love you too” You say back, “Now can we listen to it again?” You ask and he laughs lightly, before pressing play one more time and squeal with excitement.

Two Hours Later

You and Sunny are spread out on Flea’s living room floor coloring when Flea and Josh return to the house a few hours later.

“Hey look who it is...” You say getting up off the ground.

“Josh!” Yells Sunny getting up and running over to him.

“Hey kid” He says picking her up and swinging her around in a circle before setting her down.

“Whatcha doin?” He asks.

“Drawing, obviously” She says sassily, motioning to the markers scattered across the floor.

“Aw Sunny these are great” Says Flea picking one up.

“I know Dad, I’m an amazing artist” She says flipping her hair and you and Josh laugh.

“Hey babe” You say to him in greeting kissing him lightly.

“Hi” says a smiling Josh once you separate again.

“Hi” You reply giggling.

You see Flea shake his head out of the corner of your eye, “I don’t know if I’ll get used to that” He says.

“Yeah well I think you might have to—so deal with it” You say in a sarcastic voice and he laughs.

“So you two worked out everything alright?” You ask.

“Yeah we talked everything out, we’re back to normal enough now” Says Flea winking at Josh.

“Good, you guys had me worried for a sec” You say.

“Hey Lou it was all your fault, you caused the fight” Josh deadpans and Flea plays along.

“Yeah come on! You’re breaking up the band Yoko!” He yells and you pretend to punch him in the stomach.

“Ah shut up” You say.

“What are you talking about?” Asks Sunny.

“Nothing you should worry your pretty little mind about” You respond, kissing the tip of her nose.

“You guys want dinner, I’m cooking?” Asks Flea.

“Of course” You say laughing and Josh wraps his arm around your shoulder.

“Tacos are alright?” He asks.

“Tacos are 100% alright.” Says Josh.

“Tacos it is then” Says Flea with a smile, walking into the kitchen.

You guys mess around in there for a while, singing along to the Neil Young album Flea had put on.

You dance around the kitchen with Josh throwing food into his mouth and seeing if he could catch it.

He wraps his arms around your waist and tells you how much he loves you and you laugh, kissing him lightly, loving how close you felt to him and feeling incredibly happy that everything in your life seemed to be working out perfectly.

Twenty Nine

Another update, sorry for taking so long, i've been super busy :( But i have a few more chapters written so more to come soon! I just wanna stagger them a little bit!

Love you guys! Please give me feedback :)

You knock on the door of Flea’s house feeling very nervous. You anxiously kept shifting your weight from foot to foot as you waited for him to answer.

Finally he comes to the door, holding Sunny on his hip.

“Louise!” She screams as soon as she sees you hopping down and running over to give you a hug.

“Sunny!” You say happily hugging her back.

“How was your trip?” She asks grinning.

“Cleansing” You respond, daring to look at Flea and you see him sigh, “I did a lot of things that I had needed to do for a while”

“Hey Sunny, you wanna go into the house and pack for when you go to your mom’s tonight?” He asks and she sighs.

“Can Lou help?” She says flashing her gorgeous puppy dog eyes at him but you know they won’t work.

Before Flea can respond you cut in, “Maybe a little later, why don’t you pick some stuff out to surprise me with and then I can help you choose and be surprised at the same time? How does that sound?” You ask. She thinks it over for a minute and finally nods.

“Ok fine, but you have to draw with me later ok?” She says and you nod.

“I promise I will” You say putting one and over your heart and she nods contentedly before running upstairs and then you and Flea are left alone again.

“Hi” You finally say, turning to him.

“Hey” He says looking up at you, “I see you finally decided it was time to communicate with someone like me again” He says coldly and you clear your throat.

“Not far at all” You respond calmly, holding up a finger.

“How is that not fair Lou?” He asks, “What the fuck was that: running away without telling anyone, refusing to talk to us”

“I’m an adult, I can go on a road trip whenever I want to” You retort, shrugging at him.

“You certainly didn’t act like one” He says, “That didn’t seem adultlike, it seemed like a flashback to what you did when you were sixteen”

“Hey you know what I’ve had to act like an adult and take care of myself since I was sixteen, I have a pretty good idea of what it means to act adultlike.” You say your anger beginning to bubble over, “And you’re one to talk about acting maturely...” you add and he grits his teeth.

“You completely overreacted to our reaction something that you sprung on us without any clues! You acted so offended that we were in shock.” He says, raising his voice.

“You were rude Flea, you really hurt our feelings—Josh’s especially, he was really upset at you, and he had a right to be!” You yell.

 “I mean what did you expect? That we’d all act like it was normal?” He counters, “You thought I’d just completely be chill with you—my daughter for all intensive purposes—going out with someone who was ten years older than you, a guy who’s known you since you were waaaaay underage...it freaked me out a little Lou!” He says.

You were taken aback by what he said, you hadn’t really ever thought of it that way.

“Flea come on he didn’t like me back then, we started dating a couple months ago,” You say, feeling sympathy towards him now that you knew he was worried about you, “And I wasn’t that underage” You mutter as an afterthought and he just raises his eyebrow.

 “Look, I love that you’re trying to protect me, you know I do its just that the fact that you were so protective neither of us really understood and when we saw your face all we could think was that you weren’t happy for us which made us really upset” You try to explain.

“Josh was so nervous about telling you because he was afraid you all would react exactly the way you did” You say, “He’s still doesn’t really want to see you”

“What?” Flea asks, looking hurt all of a sudden.

“Yeah, I had to basically beg him to even let us come back to LA, I think he had his way we would be living like gypsies driving from town to town forever” You say with a small smile but Flea doesn’t smile back.

“Why did he take it so hard?” He asks looking upset.

“Look Flea you mean a lot to him as a friend and he knows about how much you care about me, which means he was really worried about what you would do when we told you.” You say, “he really values your opinion and the way you just shit on our big announcement didn’t boost his confidence, it just made him angry” You say.

“I didn’t know he cared so much about what I thought” He says quietly.

“He does” You respond.

“Look, do you think you could call him and ask him to come over here? I think we should hash this all out” He sighs, sitting down in the living room and you’d sit down next to him.

“Yeah you can try that, but I’d say it’s a pretty long shot,” You say shaking your head, “I’d say you’re probably better off just going over there, there’s a better bet that he won’t escape” You say and this time Flea actually does laugh.

“Yeah, you wanna go right now or later?” He asks.

“Hey I’m not going, I’ve made my peace, this is between you two now” You say holding your hands up defensively, “But if I were going I would go now” You say.

“Ok, you can watch Sunny, ya?” He asks grabbing his car keys.

“Yeah, yeah, no worries.” You say, basically pushing him out the door. You really wanted him and Josh to work out their shit so you wouldn’t be blamed if the album didn’t work out.

“Bye, good luck” You shout as he gets into his car and he salutes you as he pulls out of the driveway.

[adorable-klinghoffer]

Love you guys, and missed you sosososo much

feedback baes

Josh holds you as you wait for the train in silence, sitting on a bench. A rush of cold air brings the train to you and you hop on. Since you were in loop during early morning rush hour there wasn’t any space to sit down so you squeeze together.

When you reach your train stop you gently pull Josh up with you and walk out onto the wooden platform and lead him down the stairs. You begin to walk in the direction you used to live in.

“Yo, its very cold babe” He says and you laugh.

“Pussy” You respond sticking your tongue out and he laughs wraps his arms around you, “Seriously though how much further?” He asks.

“About three more blocks, I know you’re not used to walking but live and let live babe” You say and he flips you off.

“Here we are” You say when you reach the destination, “West side of Chicago, skid row as fuck: gang wars, drugs, hookers, crazies, and me” You say attempting to laugh but Josh doesn’t.

He just stares, speechless at where you were. An alley lined with people all on the outskirts.

“I wanna show you where my spot was” You say softly, taking his hand and leading a stunned Josh through everything.

“This was me,” you say standing across from where you sued to be, behind a gorgeous old brick building that you had always loved. By now someone else was living there but even just being there brought so much emotion that you almost began to cry.

“Oh my god” You whisper and Josh wraps his arms around you silently, holding you too him, trying to protect you.

“I didn’t think I would react this way, I’m sorry” You say feeling tears begin to well up in your eyes, “shit my makeup” You whisper trying to wipe your eyes and seeing makeup on your hands.

“Lou...” He whispers, stroking your hair, “I’m so sorry that you ever had to live like this, its not fair...”

“It seemed like this was so long ago when I was in New York and LA, but when I’m actually here it feels like it was yesterday” You say looking up, “It makes me so thankful that I got out of this place and found away to come home” You say.

“Me too” He says, hugging you tighter.

“I wanna go home Josh,” You whisper, “Please, let us go home.”

He nods understandingly, knowing that you weren’t talking about just going back to the hotel, but actually going to your home. The one you hadn’t had a chance to share yet, the one Flea and Sunny were only minutes away from, the one with your clothes and books and his guitars and records.

He takes your hand and leads you away from the alley as you wipe your remaining tears off your cheeks.

“I love you Josh” You whisper into his coat sleeve once you’re back on the train.

“I love you too” He says, kissing the tip of your nose and you laugh. You truly did, you loved him more than anything.

[adorable-klinghoffer]

THANK YOU for not giving up on this! Welcome back dear ! Love xoxo

Aw thanks :)

[adorable-klinghoffer]

*Cries* we all miss you, everyone who reads this Josh (and John) fic. i hope everythings okay for you, which is more important than an update. Stay strong :) x

thanks bae :) Love hearing this

[adorable-klinghoffer]

I really appreciate your fanfic,can't wait to the next chapter. The next chapter is closer?

yep!

[adorable-klinghoffer]

I really respect your choice to stop... I will miss you though. I think this is the best (Klinghoffer) fanfic I've read and actually I already miss it...

i actually don't think i am gonna stop! I'm writing right now!

[adorable-klinghoffer]

Hey guys, read this and as you can see it will be doing this for my klinghoffer fic as well <3

HEY

Ok guys so i’ve been getting a lot of asks of you guys wondering where i’ve been…and i just wanna tell you guys i’m still here! (kinda…)

after many failed attempts to keep writing this fic after all thats recently gone on in my life…i think it might just be time to stop.

But i don’t wanna leave you guys on a cliff hanger like this, i still had a lot of ideas for the plot before i stopped. My solution is too write you guys a synopsis of my plans and then write the final chapter or like an epilogue.

I would do this for my klinghoffer fiction as well. Send me an ask of your thoughts for this plan, i’d love to hear your opinions…i did miss you guys :)

[adorable-klinghoffer]

Ch. 27

Update for Josh's b-day (even though in the fic its like 8 months from his bday haha). I know i've had huge breaks in-between chapters and im super sorry :(

“Hey babe” You whisper into your phone looking around anxiously.

“Hey Lou,” Clara replies into the phone, “How are things there”? She asks and you bite your lip not knowing exactly how to respond.

“To be honest…not very good. He still doesn’t want us to have any contact with the outside world, so of course in order to make this call I had to come down to the lobby with a fake complaint just for me to get out of his earshot” You sigh, frustrated, “How ’bout things back home?” You ask.

“Eh, OK…I mean dad has calmed down a little but is still freaking out, he knows I’m communicating with you but he’s mad because I wont tell him where you are. Him and Anthony have been playing detective for two weeks trying to figure out where you’re hiding.” She says you frown, “Speaking of that, where the hell are you?” She asks.

“Chicago—you know, chi-town, land of the best hot dogs and pizza, L trains,  gangsters, lakes…” You ramble.

“Yes, surprisingly I am familiar with that city” She says sarcastically.

“Haha,” You laugh, equally as sarcastically, “Look I gotta go, Josh knows that during my lost years I spent some time here and he’s relying on me to give him the full tour of the city. What I don’t think he understands is being homeless in the city isn’t the same as being a permanent tourist” You say and she laughs.

“Ok, I’ll let you go, just call me soon Louise, promise?” She says.

“I promise” You reply, “Love you Clarey”

“Love you too. Bye bye.” She says and then she hangs up.

As if on cue just as you stuff your phone back in your bag Josh comes into the hotel lobby all smiles.

“Hey Lou, I’m ready to start the grand tour of the city” He says grinning and holding up the car keys.

You smile and take the key from his hand, then reply with as much enthusiasm as you can muster, “You’re crazy if you think we’re driving around this place. We aren’t in LA anymore, its public transportation for you Klinghoffer” You say laughing.

“Hey in New York I took the subway!” He says defensively.

“True but this is the el, hope you aren’t afraid of heights buddy” You say putting your hand on his back and he laughs, wrapping his arm around your shoulder as you walk out of the lobby.

“So where are we off too first?” He asks and you grin

“Well there’s no way we’re going anywhere touristyish at all. I think I may take you to the alley I used to live in” You say cheerily.

“…Are you kidding?!” He asks, eyebrows raised.

“Um no, I want you to see what my life was actually like, it wasn’t some pampered city life thing like it was in New York—this was hardcore, I was sharing my room with junkies and alcoholics and hookers. I want you to see the life I used to have and so you can realize just how much I appreciate the life I have now” You say stopping and turning around to face him.

“I don’t know, it sounds a little iffy to go to a crack head alley” He says raising his eyebrows.

“Look, it’s a few blocks from this really nice neighborhood. It has the best record store in the city and a great bookshop and tons of coffee shops and thrift stores and quirky little places like that. I promise we’ll have fun. I just need to do this, you understand right?” You say and he frowns down at his shoes but when he looks up he has an expression of plastered on enthusiasm.

“Yep, I completely understand. So how do we get there?”  He asks and you laugh at the ignorance of a non-Chicagoan.

“Blue line bitch” You say grinning and producing a CTA pass from your pocket. He grins and you walk out of the lobby together, ready to face your history. 

Polyvore babies (remember its supposed to be Februrary in chicago

[adorable-klinghoffer]

In your opinion what Ella Louise looks like (i saw this on a different fic and i wanted to know about it for your characters, i sent it to ur other fic as well)

Omg i saw this on edvedfics ask and i was like omg i want one and you answered my prayers omg.

hmm, well i first got into writing this i was rly into alexa chung w/her rly short hair so

but also Lou’s blonde so realistically she looks for like carey mulligan or emma watson. Especially in the hair but also in the way she acts, dresses, etc.

her style is a lot like theirs and i picture her having their body types, like tall and thin etc.

So i would say in personality she’s outgoing and outspoken (and you know not very british) but in style and hair and looks and like body shape you know

[adorable-klinghoffer]
