The lost son ~John Frusciante and Josh Klinghoffer

17. Don't come to me 'cuz I'll run from you

I was laying on a sunbed, a straw hat covering my face. We had been staying in Hawaii for the past 2 weeks and it's been amazing. I enjoyed spending most of my days on the beach, listening to birds singing and crashing waves. I was almost falling asleep when I heard Lilly shouting:

- Hey, they are taking pictures of us!

I quickly got up and saw two paparazzi hiding in the bushes.

- Get out of here, we need some privacy!

John screamed at them.
They quickly ran away. I was tired of reading articles about me, my dad and whether me and Lilly were engaged or not. It was great to be isolated from the whole world for some time.

- What if they caught my baby bump on photo?

- That's ok, we won't be able to hide it forever, Lilly.

- But I don't want people following me all the time! I'm getting fat! I'm almost 5 months pregnant, I'll be big soon, Josh, I'm so scared.

- You will always be beautiful to me. You're carrying our child! And look at your boobs, they look better than ever!

- Thanks, perv!

- No problem, baby! By the way, I think that we should make a statement for the press and ask them to leave us alone. What do you think about it, dad?

- That's probably the best we can do.

- You know what? I've got an idea. We can record a short video and post it on my Instagram.

- Wait! Josh, do you have an Instagram account? Since when?

- Since the tour. I only posted photos of places we've visited and beautiful views but it's a great opportunity to use it now.

- Then I wanna have one too!

- Lilly, I don't want other guys to masturbate to your pictures!

- Hey, that's not fair!

- Kids, stop it. It's a great idea. I know that Clara and Flea also have it, come on, it's 21st century.

John intervened.

- Right, I'm sorry. My hormones are making me go crazy.

- I can tell. But you know what? I don't care. I love you too much.

We've just finished our lunch in a small bar at the beach.

- How are my babies? Full?

I asked Lilly, who was rubbing her prominent belly.

- Yeah, the food was so good! I could eat fish all day.

- You used to hate them!

- I know, look what you did to me! Just kidding, it's good though, they are healthy for the baby.

- I see that you're enjoying your stay here.

Said John.

- Sure, we are having the time of our lives. Thank you so much dad, how did you come up with this idea?

- Well, Anthony used to go here when he wanted to get away from drugs. This place helped him to relax and stay clean.

- We need to relax too. I think that it's the time to tell the whole world what we are going through.
