Chapter 1
Even in the years after Tia’s death, I continued to raise Megan on my own. The other guy’s affectionate uncles to her, she adored her uncle James and aunty Fran, but especially Cali, and Cali adored her back. I took Megan on tour with me and she’d stay with her aunty Fran & Cali. Megan knew all about her mom, I wasn’t prepared to keep it from her. She didn’t know exact details, but she knew enough. The last couple of years though me and Megan had started to grow apart, I suppose that’s what happens when a girl reaches 16. The last couple of years have been tough on me at times and I still can’t believe my baby girl is about to turn 18. I often wondered where the last 18 years had gone, 16 of which I’ve spent alone.
Megan is a picture of myself with long black curly hair and my dark brown eyes, but tall and slim like her mom. But not a guitar player like me, her uncle Rob had been teaching her the bass like her mother before her. She’d been taking lessons for about 8 years. I was so proud of her and also like her mom she could sing too, no wonder she was in a band of her own!.

(Megan aged 10)
“Daddy can I learn to play the bass please?”
“If that’s what you want my angel consider it done!, I’ll ask your uncle Rob if he’d mind teaching you. One question though what made you decide to play the bass?”
“That picture you got of mommy playing her bass that was Uncle Cliff’s well that’s my what’s the word?”
“Inspiration?”
“That’s it daddy, your so clever”
“Why thank you angel” I said amusingly.

(Megan aged 14)
“Wow, Meg why didn’t you tell me you could sing?”
“Didn’t know I could daddy, I was just doing it for fun!”
“Now that brings back some memories, cos your mom said the exact same thing when I told her about it too!”
“Really?”
“Sure did, actually I got a recording of your mom singing Nothing Else Matters would you like to hear it?”
“May I please?”
“Wow mom really could sing couldn’t she?”
“She certainly could”
“Daddy, do you miss mom?”
“Of course I do I loved her very much she was a beautiful, warm, loving person just like you my angel”
“You’ll always have me daddy. I mean that”.

Me and my dad had started to drift apart starting about two years ago, after I formed my band. Plus all the school work I had plus band rehearsal we found it difficult to spend anytime together, most nights I’m home in time for curfew then do my homework and bed, so I never saw dad. But he’s always so supportive of me though he loved to listen to our cd’s we made. I’m the lead singer/bassist of a group called ‘The Human Dichotomy’ the band consists of myself, my boyfriend Sy on drums my cousin Castor on lead guitar, and my best friend Jodie on rhythm guitar. Which pleased Uncle James no end when Castor joined the band!. Cali and Cella were just as chuffed for their brother aswell. But it did put Uncle Lars’ nose out of joint cos Layne didn’t make it into the band. Speaking of Cali I miss her so much at times now her and Myles have gone away to school, Cali was learning to become a writer and Myles was learning to be a music teacher. But they’ll be home soon enough cos it’s my birthday in a couple of days time and dad’s having a massive party for me, I can’t wait!.

eee my name is in there!!!!!!!!!!! lov eit love it love it!

Chapter 2
The morning of my birthday I woke early, not even sure why, it was like someone was calling to me to wake up, I pulled myself up at looked around my room just to make sure, but I’d been dreaming it, but I felt so real. I looked at the clock it was only 5.30am not even dad would be up yet, as I was awake I decided to get up.
So I made myself a cup of coffee and sat a quietly reflected, what would mom say if she was here? it wasn’t long till I graduated then I remembered my S.A.T’s results were due any day now and I was nervous this determined which school I could go to, though things with the band were doing really well, and dad did say that when we graduated that if we were deadly serious about the band that he’d get us an appointment with their manager(s). Just then my musing was disturbed.

“Hey, Meg baby you alright? What you doing up this early?”
“Sorry daddy I didn’t wake you did i?”
“You know me light sleeper since your mom died, so I do tend to hear things”
“That’s funny I was just thinking about mom actually, what would she say if she was here, what with my S.A.T’s due any day and graduation coming up…..”
“She’d tell you that she’s proud of you that you’ve become a beautiful young woman, and so talented”
“Stop it daddy your making me blush!”
“Only telling you the truth, so what you got planned for today then?”
“Going to hang out with Sy, Castor and Jodie for the day and then party tonight!”
“Who’s coming to this party anyway?”
“Well you, the guys, Uncle James and Aunty Fran, Uncle Lars and Aunt Connie, Uncle Rob and Aunt Chloe, Ty, Nana, Cella, uumm Cali and Myles I hope, Layne, everyone that I care about basically”.

With that dad got up and disappeared he came back with a card and a present for me.

“Happy birthday Megan”
“Thank you daddy”.

I opened the card it was totally beautiful, and my present…..

“Daddy isn’t this mom’s?”
“Yep, it’s her locket the one she worn all the time I couldn’t bear the thought of it just sitting in a box in my dresser, and I know she’d want you to it”
“Here allow me”.

He put the locket on me, he’d cleaned it up and it shone like new, I opened it up to find inside a picture of mom and dad together and a picture of me and my dad together, I started to cry.

“Hey Meg don’t cry angel”
“I’m sorry daddy, I know I don’t really remember mom but I still feel like I know her from everything you told me about her are….are we going to go up to the Ranch to place flowers?”
“Yeah we can do” dad said very quietly
“Daddy if you prefer we didn’t go or that I didn’t go or something…” I said gently
“No angel you can go but I can’t….I can’t…..sorry”.

He got up and left the room at break neck speed, I got up and went to find him, he was in his ‘study’ his back to me but I could tell he was crying cos his whole body was racked with sobs.

“Daddy?”
“I’m sorry Meg, I’m sorry”.

I hugged him tightly and tried to sooth him after about 5 minutes he stopped crying, and hugged me back.

“It’s your birthday I shouldn’t be crying like this”
“It’s ok daddy I totally understand, come on lets get some more coffee and some breakfast.

yaye! another update! need i say that i love it?

Chapter 3
Later that day, I met up with Sy,Jodie and Castor at the mall, the guys decided to treat me to lunch and shopping. Upon my appearance they all came running at me singing ‘happy birthday’ at the top of their lungs,Sy picked me up and swung me round, then proceeded to plop me down and kiss me, Castor was next to give me a hug and kiss, It was amazing how much he looked like his dad, when he played guitar how he’d picked up his fathers’ mannerisms aswell. Jodie was my best friend and a damn fine rhythm guitarist, she lived in foster care and had been pretty screwed up, but in time was starting to do better, she’d started to accept the fact that her parents were gone, they’d been killed 10 years before in a car smash and they never caught the driver who did it either.

“So what do ya wanna do first then Meg?” asked Sy gleefully
“Hmm tough call…now let me think, duh, shopping!”
“Coolies” Jodie replied
“Where do ya wanna start?” asked Castor
“Not bothered!”
“Come on then gorgeous” said Sy grabbing my hand.

I was dragged round all the shops, buying various items of clothing for the party tonight and accessories to go with it. Gradually one by one the guys had disappeared and reappeared I could only guess they’d been present shopping, talk about last minute!, Just then a hand fell on my shoulder I spun round totally startled to find a grinning Uncle James and Cali stood there I shrieked louder then I intended too.

“Cali your home, god it’s so good to see you again you look amazing, in fact your glowing what’s going on?” I said as I hugged her
“I’ll tell you later babe” she whispered
“Hello Uncle James” I said transferring myself from Cali’s arms to James’ arms
“Hello beautiful,happy birthday” said Uncle James affectionately
“So what you guys doing here?” said Cali
“Shopping mostly” I said holding up the bags
“Ahh should have guessed!” said Uncle James without reserve
“Where’s Castor?” said Cali
“Gone to use the bathroom, he’ll be back any minute, why?”
“Cos I need to take him home with me that’s why” she said in some annoyance.

Just then Castor came up behind Cali and put his hands on her hips making her yell in alarm.

“You jackass, Castor”
“Nice to see you to sis!” he said giving her a quick peck on the cheek
“I need you at home, now please Castor”
“Why?”
“Cos I do!”.

He looked at me and mouthed “what’s going on?”, all I could do was shrug and shake my head.

“Come on Castor mate” said Uncle James quietly but firmly

They left us and went, we all kind of felt a bit funny after they disappeared so me,Sy and Jodie decided to go back to my place for a while. When we got home we found my dad was home, sat in the kitchen eating lunch.

“Hey daddy” I said and kissed him on the cheek
“Hey guys” he said to all of us brightly.

Jodie went kind of bashful and blushed a shade of red, she was always the same round my dad, you’d think by now she’d be over it!. Dad and Sy always got on so well. Sy had nothing but respect for my dad.

“You guys want any?, I got plenty?”
“No..no thank you sir” Jodie said quietly
“Jodie you don’t have to call me sir, please call me Kirk” he said softly and sincerely
“Oh…oh ok” she said slightly abashed
“So Sy how’s it going?”
“Cool thanks Kirk, got some rehearsal to do tomorrow, as it’s my lovely ladies birthday today, we took a break”
“Plus Cali’s home and wanted Castor home for some reason she wouldn’t tell me cos she had Uncle James with her so…” I said cutting Sy off
“Hmm strange!”
“You lot ready for the party tonight?”
“Oh hell yeah!” all 3 of us said together.

Dad just laughed.

tee hee hee did i mention that i love this?

Woow! Eh hun, really love the story!!

Write more pleaseee :biggrin

Chapter 4
That evening just before the party dad decided to talk to me.

“Meg honey, I need to talk to you about your relationship with Sy ok?”
“Dad, before you say it I know what you’re going to say and when the time comes we’ll be careful I promise”
“How did you know what I was going to say?”
“Huh kind of obvious daddy”
“You mean I should be more subtle?”
“Nope, cos I love you just the way you are!”
“I love you too Meg”.

We hugged each other.

“Actually daddy, I have something I wanted to talk to you about”
“What’s that angel?”
“Don’t you think it’s about time you found yourself a nice lady friend?”
“Why would I want to do that?, I’m happy enough as I am honey”
“Dad you’re a terrible liar, you know that? I heard you in the night talking in your sleep calling for….calling for” I couldn’t bring myself to say it
“What baby?” he said holding my hand
“For mom” I said so quietly it was almost inaudibly.

He looked saddened, by what I just told him. He looked away eyes cast down to the floor.

“Daddy, I’m sorry I thought I should tell you, also cos I’m worried about you too”
“I’m so sorry angel, she has been on my mind more than usual I suppose what with it coming up to the 16th anniversary of her passing, and it being your 18th birthday too, I just know she’d been proud of what you’ve become. Did I ever tell you me and your mom we’re high school sweethearts too?”
“No, no you didn’t, that is so sweet, what was she like back then?”
“Beautiful, fun loving, sweet, a friend to everyone, very understanding to a certain point”
“What do you mean to a certain point?”
“I’ll tell you, tomorrow or maybe even the day after, not now not tonight, you’ll friends will be here soon and there’s too much to tell right now”
“Ok daddy, I’ll ready and waiting to hear it all”.

Just then the doorbell rang, people had started to arrive. The first to arrive was Uncle Lars, Aunt Connie, and Layne.

“I’m sorry Meg honey, but Myles couldn’t make it back just yet, he’s got an important exam in the morning but he sends his love and he said he’d make it up to you when he does get home” said Aunt Connie lovingly
“That’s ok I understand perfectly, those exams are so important to him, so I don’t mind in the slightest, just glad you three could make it!”
“Wouldn’t miss this for the world, Meggy peggy” said Uncle Lars
“Why thank you Uncle Larsy” I retorted, Layne laughed hard
“Oh and you come here and give me a hug already” I said grabbing Layne by the front of his shirt and pulling him towards me
“Happy birthday Meg sweetie” said Layne into my ear, and kissed my shoulder
“Come on in guys dad’s in the kitchen”.

They all went through to the kitchen, 10 minutes later Sy arrived with Jodie,then came the onslaught of arrivals for the party.
Half way through the party dad and Uncle Lars disappeared, I went to look for them, I wish to god I hadn’t now, I found them out by the stables necking it up, sheer disgust went through me, and so many questions but the biggest one of all why? I didn’t know dad was gay or was he bisexual?, I was so confused, I walked away not wanting to get caught,then something snapped inside of me and I retraced my steps and jumped out on them.

“WHAT THE FUCK?” I shouted only loudly enough so they’d hear me
“Meg??”
“Meg keep your voice down would ya” said Lars guiltily
“What the fuck are you two doing with each other?”
“Meg…”
“Shut the hell up Lars, I don’t want to hear it from you, I want to hear in from my father so what the fuck is going on dad?”
“For a start watch your language, and second of all I’m sorry you had to find out like this, but it doesn’t mean anything it’s just something that we do on occasions, but I’ll tell you about it another day now go inside we’ll be along in a minute, and don’t say anything to anyone ok?”
“FINE!”.

I stormed back inside and was intercepted by Uncle James, he could tell I was angry and upset. He took me to one side.

“Meg baby what’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing James I promise”
“Now now then you know you can’t lie to me just the same as you mama could never lie to me either now out with it”
“Its dad and Lars, I caught them kissing, out by the stables”
“Aahh back to that again are we?”
“What do you mean again?”
“Back about the mid 90’s your dad and Lars become unusually close, and lets just say they weren’t shy on hiding it, the media got plenty of pictures of those two kissing, though I’m not sure if it went any further than that, if it did I much rather not know about it, but not to worry they’ve been drinking tonight so I doubt it will come to much more”
“Thanks for the input Uncle James, love you”
“Love you too Meg honey, now enjoy the rest of your party”.

Towards the end of the party I opened all my presents, I received so many but the best by far was the one from my dad, he’d got me a car for my birthday, it had arrived while I was at the mall that day and dad had hidden it in the garage cos he knew I never go in there, so it was safe. At once I forgot the annoyance I felt towards him, I hugged him and kissed him, I also made a promise to be careful on the roads. I went to bed that night one happy girl

:drool I wanna kiss Kirk too...


Now this story is like a adolescent book nope? Love this ^^ With all the problems u can have... and with Kirk :drool

Love ya!

Chapter 5
A couple of days later myself and Megan, loaded up the saddlebags on the horses and took them out to the farthest point of the ranch so I could talk to her without interruption. What I was going to tell her was private and needed peace and quiet so I could think, being in the open air always helped me to think. When we arrived at the location we were going to use we unloaded the bags and set out a blanket, food and drink, settled ourselves and I told Meg the whole story of her mother’s life, and everyone’s involvement in her life, Meg listened quietly and patiently as I explained everything, she interjected a question here and there, but otherwise she seemed absorbed in the story I was telling her. Though I did have to stop a few times and try and pass the lump that was sat in throat from time to time, in the end after I’d finished telling her, she just sat there with a faraway look in her eyes then she broke down in tears and sobbed.

“Oh angel, I never meant for any of this to upset you, come here”
“Daddy, she did love me didn’t she?”
“Of course she did, in a way she loved me too, but Cliff was the man that had truly loved for years, she never let go of him entirely, I accepted that a long time ago, but nothing in this world will ever stop me from loving your mother nothing! So don’t ever think she didn’t love you ok poppet?”
“Ok dad, is that why you’ve never dated another woman? Cos of your love for mom?”
“I suppose so, I suppose I’m scared of being hurt again”
“Is that why you got to Uncle Lars for uh,you know”
“Now that was just something we did for fun, as a joke”
“I told Uncle James, the night I caught you, and he said he wasn’t sure if it had ever gone any further, I’m just curious daddy did you?”
“No angel it never went any further and kissing I promise, James and Jason both knew that deep down”
“Why do you never speak to Jason anymore?, he seems like a pretty cool guy”
“Because we had, had to many differences between us”
“Don’t you think its time you lot made up though?”
“Maybe it is, after all it has been 16 years since I last spoke to him”
“Do it daddy, so you’ll have no regrets about it”
“I dunno when did you get to be so smart eh?, my babies all grown up”
“DAD!”.

We packed up the horses a while later, and headed back to the house, Meg was way out in front, I could only pray that things in her life would be easier for her, than they had been for her mother and me, she is just so bright and clever she deserves a good life, she may have been spoilt all her life yet she was so humble about everything, I’d never had to tell her off for acting spoilt. She loved her family, her friends, and was very respectful to everyone, if Tia had been alive she’d be proud of the job I’d made of our daughter that was for sure. When we got back to the house we unloaded again Meg announced she was going to see Cali before she went back to school.

“Right daddy I’m off what time do you want me home?”
“Your know your curfew time angel, cos no doubt your Aunty Fran will do you some dinner!”
“Are you sure you won’t come with me?, I just don’t like the idea of you being alone here”
“No it’s fine you go baby, have fun and drive carefully ok?”
“I will daddy, I love you”
“Love you too angel, see you later”.

Chapter 6
When I arrived at Uncle James’ place I was greeted by Uncle James who had just pulled himself out from under one of his cars as he heard me pull up.

“Hello beautiful, what can I do for you?”
“Hello Uncle James, is Cali home?”
“She is, not sure if she’s in her room or out back though”
“Ok, thanks Jamie” I said without thinking, I then snuck a sideways glance to see what his reaction was, his eyes looked kinda misty
“I haven’t been called that since your mom” he said very quietly
“Oh god I’m sorry, Uncle James so sorry”
“That’s ok it was just a shock that’s all”
“Dad told me everything today about mom too, so I suppose I called you that by mistake, it won’t happen again promise”
“That’s ok Meg told you not to worry go find Cali”
“Right, ok”.

I found Cali in the kitchen with Castor and Jodie(did I forget to mention they’re dating?).

“Hey guys” I said as I entered
“Meggy!” exclaimed Jodie
“Hey JoJo!”
“So what can we do for you?” asked Castor
“Your sister please!”
“Which one I have two remember!”
“Haha funny cuts, Cali and you know it!”
“What’s up?” asked Cali
“Can we talk in private?”
“Sure”.

We went up to Cali room, and I spoke to her.

“Ok now spill!” I said demandingly
“About what?”
“You know what, why you wanted everyone home so you could talk to them, remember?”
“Oh that”
“Well the suspense is killing me”
“It’s nothing really”
“Cali!”
“Ok, ok remember that guy I told you about the last time I came home, well things got a little out of hand, we fought and then he…he….he raped me”.

I sat there shocked and bewildered not sure what to say.

“Oh god Cali are you ok?”
“Just really shook up”
“How did your dad take it?”
“How do you think? Me and mom had to practically restrain him from driving up to the school and killing him!, the police are on to it”
“I’m so sorry Cali, truly I am”
“Thank you darlin’”
“So what next?”
“Well they’re doing a pregnancy test on me next week just to be sure”
“If you are then what?, an abortion I suppose”
“To damn right I’m not going to keep that bastards baby that’s for sure!”.

We talked well into the evening, eventually Jodie came to get us for dinner, Aunty Fran had made an Indian for dinner, she kept a veggie one in the freezer that could be nuked in a microwave, cos like my dad I was a vegetarian. I loved my Aunty Fran’s Indian cooking it was so nice and tasty. Me and Cali did the dishes together, then we sat with the rest of the family and watched a DVD together, I sat the other side of Castor and snuggled into him I felt so warm and cosy that I must have fallen asleep. Cos when I came too again I was sleeping in Castor’s bed and Castor was on his spare pull out bed, dead to the world. I rolled over and looked at the clock it was 1am I cursed myself quietly and got up and went downstairs, and found Uncle James was still up.

“Oh you’re awake”
“Why didn’t no one wake me up?”
“Didn’t have the heart too, so I phoned your dad and told him you were sleeping here”
“Thanks I guess”
“Why you guess honey, what’s wrong?”
“I’m worried about dad, he’s been crying a lot, and shouting in his sleep”
“Oh what’s he been shouting?”
“For mom” I said tearfully
“Meg baby don’t cry” he said getting up to hug me
“I don’t know what to do to help dad though, apart from he could do with maybe meeting someone and be happy”
“To be honest I can’t see that one happening, he’s to shy these days”
“I know he said he’s afraid of being hurt again”
“I’m sure he’ll be fine but keep me informed”
“If you need any help day or night just give me a shout and I’ll come running every time ok?”
“Ok Uncle James”
“Go on back to bed with ya!, oh and one more thing you don’t have to call me Uncle anymore you’re too grown up for that now”
“What ever you want James” I said grinning, I looked up at him and fell into his eyes I don’t know what came over me but I kissed him, he gently pushed me off
“Whoa! Meg” he said gently
“Oh shit sorry I didn’t mean…I …I” I said stumbling over my words, I legged it back upstairs and into bed where I cried myself to sleep.

The next morning I got up and left early so I wouldn’t have to face James again least way not yet I had a lot of serious chastising to do first!. I left a note saying thanks and that I’d see Castor at school later—though I knew that would be difficult considering how much Castor looked like his dad. When I arrived home dad was already up and dressed, he was about to go surfing cos he had his I love to pee in my wetsuit t-shirt on and his boardies.

“Fancy coming with me?”
“No thanks dad, gunna go shower and get ready for school”
“Ok darling, if I’m not home by the time you’re ready to leave have a nice day”
“Will do, oh and dad don’t forget I have rehearsal after school”
“Ok Meg have a good time” he gently kissed my cheek and gave me a hug and left.

I went upstairs, and undressed and got in the shower were I broke down in tears feeling very confused, about my feelings for James. Why did I have to do that go and spoil things!. I hated myself so much right now what about Sy he was after all my boyfriend, I really wasn’t looking forward to the day ahead.

gah ee *gurns an dpulls all kinda faces* I. WANT. MORE. YOU. HEAR. ME?

and on a side note? holy fuckin jeebus

Chapter 7
After school me and the guys met up for rehearsal, Sy was totally hyper, Castor was in a good mood, Jodie was as dreamy and thoughtful as ever, but I was still feeling really shitty and very cranky!, and they were all starting to get on my nerves. An hour into rehearsals the others were just mucking about and I lost it.

“Fuck it! stop mucking about we need to rehearse, we’ve got a gig next weekend, now all of you fucking concentrate!” I snapped
“Whoa! Meg was that really necessary?” said Sy
“Yeah don’t you think that was a bit uncalled for?” Snapped Castor back
“What’s the matter Meggy? You’ve been in a shit mood all day, now what the fuck is going on?”
“Nothing I’d just like to get down to some serious rehearsal is all, we’ve got our first big gig this weekend, and I’m not about to go wrecking that, we need to sort out the play list and shit”.

Sy came over to me and tried to hug me but I just stiffened, and took a step backwards.

“Hey Meg what’s going on? Why’d you back away from me?”
“Cos shit for brains I’m seriously not in the mood to be hugged right now, that’s why!”
“Meg that was totally harsh!” interjected Jodie
“Oh fuck the lot of ya I’m going!”.

I left so quickly you could have lit a cigarette off the soles of my sneakers! I ran all the way to the parking lot, when I ran into a solid bodied male, I looked up at them fire in my eyes, about to rip them a new one when I realised I was looking at James. I blushed a shade of beetroot, and mumbled to myself.

“Where you off to in such a hurry?” said James gently
“Anywhere but here, so move!” I said harshly
“Meg what’s up? You were gone by the time any of us had got up, I was just round the corner when I get a phone call from Castor to say you’ve kicked their asses and stormed out of rehearsal, now what is it?” demanded James
“Piss off I ain’t tell you anything, now move I want to go now!”
“You kiss you dad with that mouth?! You’re not going anywhere in this mood” said James his temper rising
“Move it!”
“No!”
“Fine, I’ll go the other way then!”.

I turned to move away, when he grabbed my arm and spun me round, and held me so I was facing him.

“Get the fuck off of me James!” I said through gritted teeth
“Meg baby what’s going on? What’s with all the attitude this afternoon?”
“Let go of me please you’re hurting me!”
“Oh sorry honey, now what is it?”
“Think 1 am this morning….” I didn’t finish the sentence.

Recognition flashed across his face, and he dropped his gaze and muttered to himself. I took the opportunity to make a break for it and I left him stood there in the parking lot.
When I got home, I quickly changed into my riding pants and went for a ride. Galloping through the open air would often clear my head, but by the time I got back to the house I felt more frustrated than ever. I just wanted to scream why was I letting this kiss play on my mind so much? Then the penny well and truly dropped, and the fog in my head cleared I was in love with a man that is 3 times my age! And one of my dad’s best friends, just then my reflections was interrupted by my dad.

“Hey Meg, what’s up?”
“Daddy, what sorry?”
“I’ve just had a very interesting chat with your Uncle James”.

I felt my stomach drop.

“He said you stormed out of rehearsals, what’s going on?”
“Oh the guys were just mucking about, I wanted to do some serious rehearsal we’ve got a big gig this weekend, we need to sort out a play list and all they wanted to do was piss around!”
“Again with the language madam, but you got the rest of the week to sort out the play list there was no need to ball them out like that was there?!”
“No I guess not, it’s just that this is our first big gig I just want to make sure we’re ready and prepared that’s all” I said in a small voice
“I think maybe you should go and see ‘em and apologise don’t you?”
“Yeah, yeah maybe you’re right!”
“Of course I’m right, I’ve got years of experience over you angel remember that, in fact you doing what you did kinda reminded me of your Uncle James, he’d have his moments and he’d do the same!” .

Just hearing his name gave me butterflies in my stomach, and made me colour slightly dad caught the fact that I was blushing.

“Meg you’re blushing!”
“Am I?”
“You are, do you have a crush on your Uncle?”
“No no of course not that’s ridiculous daddy he’s 3 times my age!”
“So what? As long as nothing comes of it, it’s not a problem I think that it’s sweet after all he and Fran and the kids have been a big part of your life for the last 16 years now, just don’t let it get out of hand! He’s a lot older than you and married!”
“Daddy you’re grossing me out now, I’m going to my room I got homework to do”
“No first we got something else to do, I’ve been thinking I think you’re right I think we should go up to the Maxwell Ranch and lay flowers”.

I just stared at him. Then I spoke.

“Are you sure? Can you handle it? How you going to feel?” questions flooded from me
“I don’t know right now, but lets go before I chicken out!” he said laughingly
“Ok dad let me just go and tidy myself up and change my pants back in a minute”.

I sorted myself out and met dad in the hallway, we walked out to the car in silence in the back seat sat a wreath of red roses it was beautiful. On the drive over there I felt slightly choked I’d never been up to the Ranch before. Dad looked so sad all the way there that it tugged on my heart strings I hugged him after we pull up and whispered that it be alright.

Chapter8
I went to explore the Ranch, while dad mulled things over about how he was feeling about things. The place had an echoing quietness about it, my imagination going wild at the scene of what dad had described to me about mom’s birthday party and wedding reception that was held here years before, I felt really choked and at the same time I felt a sense of warmth about the place, like I wasn’t totally alone here in the barn then I thought I heard a noise coming from the hayloft above me I called out.

“Hello? Who’s there?”.

I heard it again a sound like a quiet twitter, so I took a deep breath and climbed the ladder up to the hayloft to look around, and find out what the hell was up there!. Towards the top of the ladder I could smell a strong smell of pot, which made me climb slower. At the top of the ladder I peeked over the edge of the loft to see a guy with long red hair resting back against a pile of hay eyes closed and his head resting on his hands, I was extremely startled to find myself looking at a vision of Cliff Burton, recognising him from the pictures that dad and James had of him. My breath caught in the back of my throat and my heart raced all I could think was ‘what the f*ck!’. Just then he moved startled by this I nearly fell off the ladder backwards, when a hand grabbed my arm and hauled me up onto the loft, I found myself face to face with Cliff.

“Hello Megan”
“What?, how?” was all I could say!
“That’s funny I seem to remember your mom doing that too!”
“Mom?”
“Yeah your mom Tia!”
“I know who she is!” I said finally regaining my composure
“Yeah, I heard your dad finally decided to tell you everything!” he said winking at me
“How the hell could you possibly know that?”
“Don’t you know we’re always with you sugar?”
“Always?”
“Always!” he said me and your mom are always watching over you and your dad
“Really?”
“Yes really! What’s with the twenty questions?”
“Well I’m sorry I just wanted to get a few things straight is all!”
“So nice to see you and your dad here today”
“If you’re here where’s mom?”
“Down there with your dad, she had some things she needed to tell him”.

I looked through the window in the loft and could see dad wasn’t alone a vision of a lady stood there with long brunette hair.

“Mom” I whispered
“She’ll be here in a minute sugar she said she wanted to talk to you too” he said softly
“About what?”
“You’ll see sugar, it’s nice to see you’ve grown up so well and so pretty Sy is one lucky guy!”.

I bit my lip as my thoughts turned to Sy and then to James, what the hell was I going to do! Just then I heard a female voice behind me I turned sharply to find it was my mom stood there a vision in lavender silk.

“Megan baby”
“Mom” I said voice full of tears
“Hey come on baby don’t cry, it’s ok”
“Cliff said you wanted to talk to me about something”
“I do sugar but for the minute let me look at you”
“Ok!”.

She looked me over and smiled at me.

“You turned out more beautiful then I could have hoped for, but you do look so much like your dad still!”
“Thank you” I whispered
“Anyway what I wanted to talk to you about baby, is this dilemma you’re having with your feelings towards James”
“How did you know that? I haven’t told anybody!”
“I watch I see honey”
“Oh”
“Please don’t take it any further hon, he’s too old for you plus I’m sure you don’t want to wreck his marriage either imagine how Cali, Castor and Cella are going to feel and most importantly Fran, please don’t tear this family apart”
“But I can’t stop thinking about him he’s always there, he’s the first thing I think about when I wake and the last thing I think about before I go to sleep, he’s so deep inside of me I’ve never felt this way mom never!”
“You’ll get over it in time baby I promise!”
“What like you did with Cliff all those years ago!” I shouted
“That was different, Cliff wasn’t married!”
“Yeah but dad was to Lani if you remember! And you tore that marriage apart!”
“That wasn’t all me Meg!”
“So tell me why should I listen to you?”
“Cos…cos you’ll end up hurt that’s why!”
“I’m sorry I’m going to see James later and tell him how I feel I don’t care how much older he is!, age knows no limits when your in love!” I stormed
“Your dads waiting to go you better go”
“Good!!”.

I didn’t both to say good bye I just climbed down and ran out of the barn at speed to my dad.

:o

Wow! Great chapter, Claire!! I love how you write about Cliff! :) ..Can;t wait to see how this thing with James turns out!

Chapter9
“Hey my angel you ok?”
“Fine! Can we go please?” I fumed
“What is it baby?”
“Do me a favour 1 don’t call me that 2 I’m fine I want to go now”
“No I think we need to talk first about what’s just happened to the both of us!”
“I have nothing to say about the matter, let’s just go please”
“Ok if you wish, but you’re going to have to talk about it eventually”
“Whatever dad!, now drive”.

We got in the car and drove away my anger close to boiling point. Dad didn’t say anything to me on the drive home, just aswell really!. When we got home I ran in to the house up to my room and changed into my bathing suit threw my sun dress on over the top shouted to dad I was going out.

“DAD I’M OFF OUT I’LL SEE YOU LATER”
“But honey it’s nearly dinner time!”
“I’ll get something while I’m out, don’t wait up!”
“Ok have fun” said dad resignedly

I jumped it to the car and went to my favourite spot I named ‘the cove’ it was quiet and secluded and no one but me knew about it. On the drive over I put my stereo on full blast and sang along to the mixed CD I kept in the player. ‘the cove’ was a bit of beach that had been cut into the rock face I was never sure if it was man-made or a natural thing but it was quiet and secluded and I loved it here I could lie on the bit of beach and just think. There was also tree’s above atop of the cliff that could provide branches to make a small campfire. There was a dirt track that ran parallel to the cliff I pulled up to find a car I didn’t recognise also parked there but I just shrugged it off and made my way to my spot beach bag in tow. When I got down there, there was someone else already down there much to my ire, I made a quiet approach on to the beach the person was male who ever it was turned to see who was approaching them. I swear I nearly died of shock the one person I was hoping to avoid was stood there with a shocked expression on his face was James.

“I thought I was the only person who knew about this place!”
“Sorry to burst your bubble darlin’”
“So what you doing here then James?”
“To think”
“What the hell have you got to think about? Your life is so damn perfect! Perfect wife, perfect kids, blah, blah, blah” I said with a bit more venom then I meant to
“Oh yeah great, fucking amazing!”
“There’s something going on isn’t there?” I said a small bubble of happiness rising in my chest
“Why do you care?” he asked harshly
“What the fuck? James”
“Well?”

I burst into tears, and sobbed I felt his strong powerful arms go around me I put my head against his chest which even at the age of 54 was still very muscular and strong!.

“What’s been the matter? Eh angel?”
“Well me and dad went up to the Maxwell Ranch to lay a wreath both me and dad saw mom and Cliff!” I said through a film of tears
“Wow, what did they say?”
“Mom just basically told me to be careful”
“Careful about what?”.

I didn’t answer him I walked a foot away from him whilst trying to tidy my face up then I turned to face him.

“She told me not to wreak the marriage of a man I love!”
“Who’s the man?”

Again I didn’t answer him, I walked down the waters edge and sat down and pulled my knees up to my chest, James knelt at my side.

“So why you here James? What’s going on at home, that you’ve had to come out here?”
“I….I think Fran’s having an affair”
“What?”
“I’m sure of it!”
“Who do you think it is?”
“I don’t know, but when I find out I’ll kill him!”
“Oh!” I said quietly
“What baby? What is it?”
“Nothing just forget it!”
“Come on Meg you can talk to me remember like you use to?”
“Yeah I remember, but this time I can’t”
“Yes you can please Meg tell me!” he said softly.

I stood up and started to walk away but I felt his arms go round me and pull me close to him, I could feel him breathing in my ear and I could smell his aftershave aswell.

“James” I murmured
“Yeah?” he whispered
“I love you”
“I love you too”
“No James I mean when I said earlier that I was in love with a married man…..” I left him to think about it for a moment.

He gently turned me so I was facing him and he kissed me softly on the mouth I pushed myself against him kissing him with fervour I don’t want it to stop but then he broke the kiss and looked at me.

“Are you really sure this is what you want Meg?”
“Yes James ever so”
“What about everybody?”
“What about them? They don’t have to know it’ll be our little secret” I whispered into his ear.

We kissed again. We ended up lied in the soft sand cuddled up together unaware that we were being watched by my dad.

OMG!!! :o
Moooorrrreee!!! hehe, great chapter!!

Chapter 10
We were just saying our goodbyes to each other one more long passionate embrace, when a hand tapped me on the shoulder, I broke the kiss to turn my head when a fist whizzed by me and straight into James’ face, causing me to scream in alarm.

“Daddy what the fuck?”
“Move it Meg”.

Just then James returned a punch, both dad and James started slugfest 2018 going blow for blow then dad started shouting at James

“Why’d you do it? Why? I trusted you!”
“I haven’t done anything dude!”
“Fucking liar I’ve been watching you for the last god knows how long!”
“Daddy I can’t believe it, why? Why did you follow me?”
“I was worried!”
“Man she’ll always be safe with me”
“Why Megan? Is it because you’re in love with Tia and you see something in Meg that reminds you of her?”
“Tia would never love me only as a friend, she was the only other female in my life that I’d ever felt close too, so yes I was very much in love with her too, but I got over that a long time ago”
“Obviously not long enough ago!”.

I stood there incredulous at what I was see and more so at what I was hearing. My head buzzing. James was doing this cos he was in love with my mom and as she’d never have seen him like that, I was his last ditch attempt to be close to anything to do with my mom. I felt sick and suddenly very tired. Just then my brain re-engaged and I could hear James speaking.

“It’s been long enough man, I’ve watched Meg everyday growing and becoming more and more beautiful, she’s a beautiful young lady now ready to make her own descions she has her own thoughts and feelings, we’ve been so close yet she was always just out of reach being the age she is but this last year I’ve watched her closely and the more I’ve watched her the more I was falling for her, (he turned to me) Meg that first kiss we shared the other day was what I’d been waiting for I love you so much, I want you and I need you”.
“You sick fuck! She’s just a baby she’s only just turned 18 this is not going to happen, Meg get your stuff we’re going”
“No daddy I’m staying here with James I love James and there’s nothing you can do about it!”
“Meg don’t make me have to drag you home, cos I will!”
“You lay a hand on her dude and I swear I’ll put you in the hospital!” he spat with venom
“No James please don’t I love you but I love my dad too”
“There ain’t no way he’s going to make you do something you don’t wanna!” .

Another fight erupted, I grabbed my bag and legged it off crying as I ran before either of them had even realised I was gone I was in the car and driving away. I sobbed as I drove I checked the mirror after 10 mins of driving I could see two cars behind me one was James’ and one was dads, I was still sobbing and I was majorly pissed at what had happened. All I could thin was why me? Did James really love me or not? I felt so damn confused and I was virtually blind from the tears that were filling my eyes I closed my eyes for a moment……………

Switch to James’ p.o.v
I watched in horror as Meg’s car was hit I see the car spin off the road I put my foot down and pulled up along side hers. She was lied on the bonnet of the car unconscious she hadn’t been wearing her seatbelt her face was tear streaked I guessed what had happened she’d been crying so hard that’s why she swerved and didn’t see that other car. I checked her for a pulse and to see if she was still breathing, I silently thanked god she was still alive. Just then Kirk pulled up seeing the scene he became hysterical.

“Meg baby wake up please wake up don’t die don’t die” he repeated over and over.

I went back to my car to get my cell so I could call 911 I explained the situation and they said they’d be here as quick as possible, I told Kirk not to move her as she may have spinal injuries, I spoke quietly to Kirk.

“I’m sorry man I never meant for any of this to happen but I do love Meg so much, more than I ever loved anyone before in my life, hell not even Fran”
“Stay away from us, this is all your fault” he said through gritted teeth.

I backed away I could hear the siren’s in the background, I got in the car but before I left I said.

“Please Kirk keep me informed, I have my cell I’ll meet you at the hospital”

I drove away worrying badly about Meg and about Kirk too.

Its just awesome! I wonder whats gonna happen next. I NEED MOREEEE!!!!

^^ What he said!! :biggrin

a) what they said,

and
b) dont you DARE kill Meg off.

Chapter 11
Kirk's p.o.v
The ambulance arrived within minutes of James' call, he'd already gone ahead to the hospital I was so mad at him I couldn't believe it, what the hell did he think he was doing with my Meg?, I just kept talking to her but I just couldn't get a response. The ambulance crew were amazing, they gently placed a spinal board under her so they could move her and not even they could get a response out of her, they loaded her into the ambulance I went with her in the ambulance so I could be by her side if she woke up if she did at all.When we got to the hospital James was waiting for us outside they gently unloaded her and took her through to the emergency room.

"How is she?" James asked quietly
"How do you think?, my baby is lying in there unconscious all because of you! Now go James I have nothing more to say to you" I said with a coldness that could cut
"Please Kirk I need to be here I’m so sorry dude, if I could take this back I would"
"GO NOW!"
"Kirk please...."
"NO! NOW FUCK OFF!".

The doctor came out and told us to break it up I walked towards him to get some info.

"How is she doctor?"
"Still unconscious were going to take her to x-ray and give her a CT scan aswell to see if there was any damage done to her brain".

I could feel the room spinning I couldn't take it in possibility of brain damage? Not my sweet girl please god not my sweet girl.

"Mr.Hammett?"
"Sorry doctor"
"This is going to take awhile go and get a coffee and sit down look a bit pale, you don't want to pass out now do you?"
"No, and thank you doctor".

James still hadn't left yet he was still hovering in the waiting room I went to speak to him.

"What are you still doing here James?"
"I saw you talking to the doctor how is she?"
"Taking her for tests, they think she might have brain damage"
"Oh god no please god no Meg" I heard him whisper
"I hope you're happy now James!"
"Hey this isn't all my fault you know Kirk if you hadn't followed her".
“Fuck you James!”
“How long you planning to keep this up? It’s as much your fault as mine; we should never have fought not in front of Meg like that”.

That was the last he said on the subject, we both sat there for what seemed liked hours not saying a word to each other, the vibe in the room was so uncomfortable. Eventually the doctor came back to give me a report.

“Mr.Hammett?”
“Yes doctor, how is she? Has she woken up?” I said as calmly as I could
“I’m afraid she’s still unconscious, but she she’s stable”
“The test what did they show?” said James quietly
“Sorry you are?” the doctor said
“This is James Hetfield a friend of mine he was with me when we found Meg”
“May I talk to you alone Mr.Hammett please?”
“Anything you have to say to me will be repeated so please carry on”
“Fine, the x-rays are clear she has no spinal injuries but the CT scan revealed that Megan’s brain is quite swollen meaning she isn’t going to be waking up anytime soon I’m afraid your daughter is in a coma Mr.Hammett I have to go now but if you have any questions the staff here will be happy to help”
“Can we see her please?”
“Come with me”

“They took us to her room, she was just lying there attached to monitors and had tubes coming out of her too, they cleaned her face up, she had a big dressing on one side of her face. She looked so peaceful, a nurse entered the room to check her stats she told us that talking to coma patients helped to bring them round quicker, all I could do was pray, that she would wake up soon I couldn’t bear to lose Meg too.

Switches to James’ P.O.V
I watched helplessly as Meg just lie there attached to monitors and had tubes coming from her aswell, I felt sick that fate had been so cruel to a woman so lovely and vital and so fun, and full of life, in a moment that had all been taken away, when was she going to wake up?, would she even remember? If she did would she even talk to us? I had so many questions going around in my head that I felt like my head was going to explode. I also had the grim task of telling Fran what had happened and why it had happened I was not looking forward to that one at all, and what would the kids say? Castor would be concerned not only as a cousin but as one of her best friends and band members. I spoke to Kirk

“Do you need anything dude?”
“No no I don’t” he said quietly
“I better go and ring Fran let her know what’s happened, do you want me to get her bring you anything?”
“No James the best you can do is go home be with your family, it’s late now”
“You sure?” I asked uncertainly
“Yes James very sure I’m not leaving her, in case she wakes up she’ll need me!”
“The doctor said that was highly unlikely though dude”
“Come home with me man I got my car here, you’re going to be no good to her, if you don’t rest and get some sleep”
“No I’m staying James”
“Kirk don’t be an ass all your life!”.

Just then a doctor entered the room.

“I’m sorry to interrupted you gentlemen but your friend has a point she’s not going to wake up yet go home get some rest please”
“Thank you doctor” I said with relief
“Ok ok I’ll go but please phone me the minute she changes”
“We will trust me”
“Come on dude, you can stay at my place for the night”

I took him back to my place.

ah shes not dead i can breathe a sigh of relief for now.

it still stands, please do not kill her!!!!!

Ohh poor Meg!! Poor James!! Poor Kirk!!! :( Don't kill her don't kill heer!!

Need more huun!! :dance

Yikes, Meg and James...that's just a little disturbing...lol. This thing between James and Meg, it can't happen. Kirk has every right to be pissed and I would have been happy to see him kick James's ass for being so irresponsible and not thinking with his head. Meg is 18, she barely knows what love is.

I'm glad you decided to write a sequel :). It's a cool story besides the comma usage abuse, run on sentences and spelling and grammer mistakes but that's no big deal, it can be easily fixed.

Chapter 12
Lars and Connie P.O.V
I awoke to the sound of the phone ringing loudly, I looked at the clock it was 1am, I answered it.

“Hello?” I asked sleepily
“Sorry did I wake you?” said Kirk
“That’s ok, what’d the matter? What’s happened?”
“Can I talk to Lars please Con?”
“Sure hang on?”.

Connie shook me awake.

“Lars wake up its Kirk, something’s happened”
“This better be good man!” I said sleepily
“It’s Meg……….” He trailed off
“Dude what about Meg? What’s happened?”
“There’s been an accident, Meg’s in a coma”.

Lars swore in Danish.

“Where are you?”
“At James’ place, he was with me when it happened”
“Good at least you’re not alone, anything I can do dude?”
“No not right now man I thought I’d better let you know”
“I’ll see you tomorrow, try and get some rest ok?”
“Night Lars”.

I put the phone down, I could see concern on Connie’s face, there was a quiet rap on the door of our bedroom the phone must have woken Layne. Connie let him in.

“Who was that this late?”
“Sit down”
“Yes what did Kirk say?” Connie was really concerned now
“There’s been an accident Meg is in the hospital, she’s in a coma”
“Oh my god!” Layne exclaimed.
“What happened?” asked Connie
“I don’t know Kirk wasn’t really big on details”
“But is Uncle Kirk alright?”
“He was with James when it happened or something so he’s staying at James’ place tonight”
“How much worse can this get?” Layne muttered to himself
“Don’t tempt fate sweetie” said Connie
“Go back to bed there’s nothing we can do for tonight”
“How am I supposed to sleep now?” asked Layne in frustration
“Try son try, see you in the morning”

Layne went back to bed me and Connie settled down to try and sleep again but we both slept in fits and starts worryingly whispering to each other, eventually tiredness took over and we slept.

Switch to James’ P.O.V
Kirk rang Rob and Chloe aswell, Fran and Castor and Cella were all still up too and sat in the kitchen. Cella had practically collapsed in a state of shock luckily Castor was stood behind her at the time. Fran had burst in to tears, she wasn’t saying nothing but I could see in her eyes she was waiting to have a go at me for going out and not coming back till 45 minutes ago I was dreading this confrontation cos I was going to have to come clean about what had happened between me and Meg, the fight with Kirk and how Meg’s accident had come about.
I got the kids off to bed about 15 minutes later while Fran settled Kirk in Cali’s bedroom. I was sat in the living room watching the T.V waiting for the explosion which was about to follow, but it never happened Fran didn’t come back downstairs. The confrontation happened after the kids had gone to school and Kirk had gone home to change before going to the hospital to see Meg.

“So about last night….” I started
“DON’T! I don’t want to hear any excuses from you James I want the plain god’s honest truth”
“The truth is Fran I’m in love with someone else”
“BASTARD!” she screamed at me
“You’re one to talk I’m almost certain you’re having an affair so don’t go giving me I want the truth, why don’t you tell me the truth for once!”
“I’m not having an affair James, and I’ve never even thought about it either! So who is she? Who’s the little bitch you’re in love with?”
“Bollocks you’re not having an affair, I’ve smelt another man on you and I don’t just mean aftershave either”

She went quiet, and introspective.

“Well who is he?”
“It’s….it’s Jack….the same Jack Tia use to work with years ago” she said quietly
“Oh” I laughed coldly
“So who is she?” Fran asked quietly
“It’s Meg” I said without reservation
“WHAT?”
“You heard me I’m in love with Meg!”
“But she’s just a baby, is that how the accident happened?”
“Yes me and Kirk got into a fight, she ran away crying and drove off, she was crying so hard she swerved hit another car she wasn’t wearing her seatbelt either I found her lying on the bonnet of the car unconscious”
“Well what we going to do James?”
“I don’t love you, you don’t love me right?”
“Right I suppose”
“Well we go our separate ways; the kids are old enough to understand”
“I’m sorry James, how long have you and Meg…….”
“About two days, what about you and Jack?”
“6 Months”
“6 Fucking months!!!! You’ve been sleeping with him for 6 months no wonder you’ve been off sex with me!” I said with a tone of anger
“You’ve been so distant that’s why!”
“Bullshit! God I need a drink”
“No James, it’s not worth it please don’t think of the children”
“I’m not going to; I’m going to the hospital to be with Meg and with Kirk too”.

I grabbed my coat and jumped in the car and made my way to the hospital to be with Meg.

Nice update. I still don't think Meg and James should be together. Keep fighting for what's right Kirk! lol

i wan tmreo you hear me! make the breaks i have between writing mydissertation enjoyable! for the love of cheesecake make them enjoyable by writing more!

(and on a side note, thank fuck for spellchek when i am writing my dissertation)

No way man!! Jaymz cant be with Meg. Well its your decision. Good update

Chapter 13
Kirk’s P.O.V
I spent what felt like a lifetime at that hospital, sitting and watching Meg. Waiting for any sign of her waking up. It got harder and harder everyday to leave her there. What if she woke up? Would she remember me? Would she remember anything? Everyday I asked myself those exact questions over and over again.
James spent a lot of time here too, I spent time questioning was it love or was it guilt he was here? Him and Fran spilt amicably it came as a shock to all of us especially the kids, James and Fran decided it wasn’t wise to tell the kids about himself and Meg as in reality not a lot had happened.
Fran took the fall this time the kids were gutted but understood, I totally felt for them!.
Meg had been in a coma 6 months when I had an unexpected visit turn up at the hospital it was Jason and a woman I didn’t recognise.

“Jason dude what you doing here?”
“I heard about what happened to Meg a few days ago, I’ve only been back in the country like 4 days oh and this is Lulu my wife, that’s the other reason I’ve only just come home been waiting for her visa to come through so I could bring her home!”
“Congrats dude, Hello Lulu I’m Kirk”
“I know” she said hurriedly
“I’m so sorry to hear about Meg I couldn’t believe it, what happened?”.

Just then James walked in.

“Jason what you doing here?” James growled
“To see Kirk and to introduce you to my new wife Lulu”
“Huh? You got married, hey Lulu good luck I hope he doesn’t cheat on you!”
“Yeah thank you James, but I trust him we’ve been married two years now and he’s never given me reason to doubt him!”
“You know James a person can change, I love Lu and she’s made a new man of me”.

They kissed each other, for a moment I felt very lonely I looked over at James he looked on wistfully and when he realised I was staring at him he got a growling look on his face and mouthed ‘what?’ I just shook my head.

“So you were going to tell me what had happened, why Meg ended up in this state”
“We’re still not sure how it happened, I found her on the coast road lied on the bonnet of the car unconscious, and she hasn’t woken up yet that was 6 months ago”.

I looked over at James he gave me a grateful smile.

“So Lulu how you finding the states?” I asked
“San Francisco is so beautiful well what I’ve seen of it” and she giggled
“I’m going” said James quietly
“James, dude hang on” but he’d already legged it out of the room I caught up to him
“James what’s the matter?” he had tears sliding down his cheeks
“I want Meg to just wake up I want to feel her in my arms again I want to feel her soft kisses…..”
“Whoa! Dude that’s my baby you’re talking about there, but you really do love her don’t you?”
“Yes I do Kirk I hope when she wakes up that she feels the same still I need her”
“Well if you can prove to me that you do love her and show me devotion to her then I’ll give you my blessing, but we’ll have to see and see what Meg feels when she wakes up too”

He hugged me. I saw Jason and Lulu approaching us.

“Look dude we gotta go but we’ll meet up soon yeah?”
“I don’t know it, won’t be until after Meg wakes up though”
“You can go I’ll sit in with her” said James quietly but forcefully
“Thanks dude not tonight maybe another night”
“Ok I’ll be in touch, nice to see you again James, come on Lu”.

They left. I spoke to James.

“Thanks dude, for the offer but I was too tired tonight”
“Then go home get some rest I’ll stay here with Meg tonight”
“You sure?”
“Yeah it’s fine, not like I got to be home for anyone”
“Ok dude I’m knackered, my cell will be on if you need me or something changes”
“I will Kirk I promise”.

I kissed Meg good night and went home.

Switches to James’ P.O.V
I waited for Kirk to leave before I settled myself in the guest chair I was prepared to pull an all nighter I held her warm soft hand and I spoke quietly to her.

“Meg if you can hear me it’s time to wake up now baby I love you and I need you so much, please please wake up, baby”.

I laid my head on her hand as I had done many nights before and I must have fallen asleep. The next thing I remember being shaken awake by Sy.

“James wake up, what you doing here?”
“He wweenntt home last nniigghhtt” I said yawning
“He left you in charge of my Meg”
“Your Meg?” I said raising an eyebrow
“Last thing I remember is Meg kissing me goodbye!”
“What? She was kissing you!”
“Yeah that’s right pipsqueak now beat it!”
“Fucking bitch, how could she!”
“Well maybe she needed someone a bit more manly” I said maliciously
“I’m so outta here, I hope you’ll be very happy together” he said picking up his jacket from the other chair as he left.

“Morning Meg baby, I’m here for you baby, please wake up soon I love you” I said quietly.

Just then Castor and Jodie entered the room.

“Dad what you doing here?”
“Giving Kirk a night off”
“Hi Mr.Hetfield”
“Morning Jodie, and please call me James”
“Sorry, sorry” she mumbled
“What the hell did you say to Sy he sped out of here pretty quickly?”
“Nothing for you to be concerned about, mind going to get your old man a cup of coffee though?”
“I’ll go” said Jodie.

She was back in record time too.

“Here you go J..J..James” she said stuttering over her words
“Thanks Jodie”.

We ended up sat in silence for the rest of the time that Castor and Jodie was there, Jodie looked so relieved to be going when Castor announced they had to be back to school shortly, they both said bye and left just then Kirk arrived.

“Go home man get changed get some sleep come back later ok?”
“Same principal applies my cell will be on…”
“I know the drill James laters”.

I left Meg in Kirks safe hands and went home to sleep.

MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE!!!! I NEED FUCKING MORE!!! :horns:

That Burak said :biggrin


WRIITEEE MOOOOREEEEE

what they said, can youplease write so much mroe please?!?!?!

Lol, yeah, write more. And James and Meg still CAN'T be together. He's like 40 years older then her. I would understand if Meg was 25 and James was like 40 but that isn't the case. Meg is pretty young and I doubt she's ever felt anything like this before so she's being fooled.

Love hasn't age :biggrin

OMG! Just read this, loving it totally! :P Gr8 story! Better than cliff 'em all! (and that's saying something!) Plez update soon! :biggrin

And we all like to believe that, don't we? lol No offense to you or anything but that's a fairy tale belief people like to hold onto. James being with Meg screws everything up because what's gonna happen when James's kids find out he cheated on their mom with 18 year old Meg? But otherwise, nice plot you have, it's a good read.

Yes, no problem :P I think that I can have a relationship with someone that's 3 years older than me, but double age than me? Nope, no way :P
