The Punk and the Princess (A Dave Grohl Fanfiction)

Ch. 36 - We're Face to Face My Friend

Hey guys! Please give me feedback either in comments or messages so I know how you guys are feeling about this storyline! Thanks, love always ❤️

"Julia!" Screams Annie as you walk into the house. She and Jimmy had bought a new place in Virginia just in time for the wedding and even though it was winter they were hoping to have the ceremony in their new backyard.

"This is amazing. Its so beautiful here!" You squeal, pulling her in for a hug, "Its perfect guys" You add as Jimmy walks into the room.

It really was, the house was full of floor to ceiling windows and right by a bunch of trees, giving the illusion that you were in a sort of modern tree house. The backyard faced out onto a creek and a running path, giving you the illusion that you were out in nature instead of in an area easily commutable to downtown DC.

"Hi Jim" You say, giving him an affectionate kiss on the cheek and he ruffles your hair.

"Hey girlie" He says and you're so happy to see him you can barely contain yourself, you give him a hug so tight he fakes not being able to breathe until you let go.

A lot of the past ten years or so you weren't able to talk to Jimmy because things were on the rocks with him Annie and during that time you had felt like a piece of you was missing. He was one of the last reminders of the life you had with Dave and was also just an amazing guy, you were so happy that a few years back they had worked things out and been able to get back together for good this time.

"How's DC life treating you two so far?" You ask them both as you set down your bags in the foyer.

They had recently been able to move back to the area after living in New York because Annie had recently gotten a job at the Washington Post. Though Jimmy tried to stick it out because he knew MTV was an amazing opportunity for Annie, you knew he was more than thrilled when she had announced she wanted to return to print and therefore they would be moving back home.

"If you mean how is Virginia life treating us so far the answer is: fucking amazing." Jimmy responds matter-of-factly and Annie rolls her eyes.

"It is wonderful here, I gotta admit. I love having space to breathe after living in Manhattan for so long" She says reluctantly and he kisses her cheek.

"That makes so much sense—" You begin but just then your cell phone rings, "I'm really sorry guys I have to take this" You sigh.

You go out onto the front walk facing the main road and talk to your boss on the phone as fast as possible. You mediate the problem and remind him politely that you were off work this week for an important family event.

Just as you're finishing up the call a pickup truck pulls into Jimmy's driveway and none other than Dave Grohl hops out of the driver's seat. He's wearing a black hoodie and army green pants and you can't help but admit that you've never seen anyone wear those two articles of clothing better.

"Funny seeing you here" He says with a grin as you flip shut your cell phone.

"You too, did you drive here all the way from Los Angeles?" You ask and he rolls his eyes.

"Yeah you should try it sometime, much better than a plane—you can stay on your phone so you're able to work the whole time, not like some silly flight" He teases and you flip him off.

You walk him inside in silence and he greets them both enthusiastically, "It's the Swansons!" He yells, giving Annie a kiss on the cheek and exchanging a bro-ish hug with Jimmy.

"Its my two favorite wedding party members" Annie squeals and you laugh in spite of yourself.

"Whose ready for a fucking rehearsal dinner?" Jimmy yells, clapping the two of you on the back before wrapping his arms around Annie's waist
