The lost son ~John Frusciante and Josh Klinghoffer

61. Sleeping next to you and I'm in your story

The next morning knocking on the door woke us up. Maggie's head still rested on my chest.

- Shit, we're dead. What if your mom thinks we had sex or something...

I whispered to Mag.

- I don't give a fuck, I had the best sleep in my whole life. You're the most comfortable pillow.

Maggie giggled and kissed my lips.

- Come on, open the door.

I said.

Maggie stood up and unlocked the door. Her mom came into the room with two plates full of food.

- I made Maggie's favorite sandwiches with peanut butter and jelly. I hope you like them, Josh.

She said as she placed the plates on Mag's desk.

- Yes, they are my favorite as well.

I said and smiled to her.

- It's great to see you both smiling. I decided I wasn't gonna wake you up last evening when I heard you snoring.

Christine said and gave us a smile.

- I'm sorry, I know I should not sleep in here, it won't happen again. I must have been too tired and fallen sleep...

I explained myself.

- That's okay, you promised me something. Now enjoy your breakfast.

Mrs Hill said and left the room.

- Whoa, it went smoothly.

I told Maggie and gave her another kiss.

- She's cool, I told you. 

She replied. We ate breakfast and listened to music together.

- Baby, what am I supposed to do? I won't leave you alone.

- I won't be alone, I'll have my mom. That's how I spent most of my life.

- I don't want you to sit at home and get depressed. I'd be back in December. That's a long time. Plus being on tour has always made me go crazy. I did some stupid shit before. After spending every day with the same 3 guys you just can't stand each other at the end of the tour. 

- I thought you're friends?

- Yeah, we are. It's just... I don't know, I'm not like everyone else and I've never been. 

- Of course you're not, that's why I love you.

Maggie said and kissed me.

- Can I tell you something?

I asked my girlfriend.

- Sure, go on.

I closed the door and sat on Mag's bed.

- I did drugs while I was touring. I'd wander the streets looking for dealers and then get high out of my mind. I had been to rehab twice. I haven't touched coke for almost 2 years now and I'm not gonna do it again. I just had to tell you.

Maggie sat close to me and hugged me.

- I don't know what to say. I appreciate that you're so sincere but I can't imagine why you did that...

- It's not so easy to explain. I felt I was a disappointment and drugs helped me forget. At least that's what I thought. I had hurt my dad so badly... You don't even imagine.
