The Punk and the Princess (A Dave Grohl Fanfiction)

Ch. 27 - From Blind To Blue

"Jules!" Dave hollers from across the hotel lobby as you walk in. He immediately runs over to you and pulls you close to him, causing a scene but neither of you cares.

You laugh and kiss him softly as he takes your hand in his. He was so sweet and enthusiastic, like a little kid, one of the things you adored about him.

"Hi baby" You respond, kissing the tip of his nose, "How was Japan?" You ask curiously as he picks up your bag and throws it over his shoulder, still not letting go of your hand.

It had been two months since you'd last seen Dave. After San Francisco you had to go back to DC to return to school and he had stayed with you for a few weeks before he had to go back on tour in Australia and Japan.

You'd barely been able to talk since you'd were so busy getting acclimated to Georgetown again and you were both in completely opposite time zones but you had tried your best. Before he even left for tour you had organized a sort of late Valentines Day celebration for when he was on tour in Hawaii for the final show of the tour.

"Unimportant right now...I have a lot to tell you" He says as he brings you up to his room.

"What's going on?" You ask curiously, noticing the seriousness of his tone.

"Courtney's pregnant" He begins and your jaw actually drops in shock.

"What—" You practically yell and he holds up his hand to stop you.

"That's not even all, they're getting married...tomorrow" He says and you gasp.

"Are you fucking kidding me" You whisper in disbelief and he shakes his head.

"You're invited by the way." He adds nonchalantly, "Please fucking come. Krist and Shelli are like boycotting or something and I can't handle it by myself."

"Of course I'm going are you fucking kidding me, I couldn't miss this—its gonna be a shit show" You deadpan and he can't help but laugh.

"Please don't even start with it" He moans.

"How's school been?" He asks suddenly and you can tell he wants to change the subject badly.

"Its so stressful right now. Its not like second semester senior year of high school—senior year of college is seriously so intense. I've got so much to do at all times" You whine and he sits down next to you and puts his arms around you.

"Well I mean I wouldn't know but I'm sorry you're so stressed. You're almost done though, no more school forever" He says with a big smile and you wish you could have his constant optimism.

"Sort of" You sigh at the fact that Dave never seems to acknowledge your plans for after college, "I have been doing so much studying for the LSATs, they're going to actually kill me"

"Wait ok, you mention these all the time but I'm afraid to ask what they are—are they like finals or something?" He asks and you smirk at him.

"I wish they were. They're the exams for getting into Law School, if I want to get into any of the top schools I need to do really well." You explain.

"Oh I didn't know you were really serious about that" He says and you nod through your gritted teeth so you don't say anything rude, you know he doesn't mean to be dismissive but he's acting like it.

"Since when do you want to be a lawyer?" He asks and you shrug.

"I don't know, since I was a kid. My dad was a lawyer and I used to love going to the courthouse with him or meeting his law school friends. It just seemed the most 'grown up' job I could imagine when I was little and I just fixated on it" You reply.
