Boys of Summer

Master of Puppets

(Lilith's POV)

Three months had passed and it was June. The guys were almost done with the album and I was really excited to hear it all. They have all been working extremely hard on this album so I'm excited for them. I also had also accepted that I deserved to be recognized for my work on the album and I was proud of myself for helping and coming up with ideas.

Last night Cliff and I had sex all night long and I was sleeping in. Well that's until all the guys started yelling and clapping to wake me.

"HAPPY 1 YEAR OF FRIENDSHIP!!!", they all screamed as I woke up.
June 5th.
Wow I really have been with these fuckers for a whole year.

"Thank you guys. I love you.", I said smiling at them.

They all jumped on the bed and pulled me into a big hug before pulling away.

"So we got you a little something.", James said smiling.

"Dudes! You didn't have to get me anything!", I said shocked.

All the guys shushed me while they gathered some things from the floor. They sat down 2 bags and then 1 really big thing wrapped up. I was in shock at all the gifts but I started opening the first bag.
Inside was a new lens for my camera and some more SD cards and a few of my favorite horror movies and comics.

"Aw thank you guys!", I said.

Kirk and Lars were both smiling big so I went over and hugged them.

I opened the next bag to see some guitar picks, a strawberry candle, a new CCR shirt, and a snake skin camera strap.

"Omg this is awesome! James or Cliff?", I said looking at the two.

"That was me.", Cliff said.

"Thank you baby.", I said

He pulled me close and kissed me softly before I pulled away and went to the last gift. I started tearing wrapping paper off to reveal a long box. I started opening it and from there a case came out. I slowly undid the buckles and opened the case to reveal a beautiful black explorer guitar.

"I know you like my white explorer so I got you the black one so we could match.", James spoke.

I quickly turned to him and hugged him tight as tears fell down my face.

People never gift me things like this. The only big thing  I ever received from my parents was the bus ticket to San Fran and that's one of the only gifts I've gotten at all. I was in complete awe and shock at what the guys did for me and all I could do was cry and pull them all to me. I hugged each of them for a while before I finally spoke.

"Thank you guys so much. You all mean the world to me and I promise I'll always be by your side and if I ever leave, just know I'll come back.", I said smiling.

After a while we lightened the mood some and sat around talking.

"Come on guys. Lilith has to play her part in Master of Puppets with her new guitar.", James said.

"Wait what?", I questioned.

"You know the slow part you mentioned? We want you to play it.", Cliff spoke.

"Oh wow yeah I would love to. Wait you guys wrote it though.", I said.

"Actually you wrote it. It was one of the riffs you wrote and I just added a few notes to it. Hope you don't mind.", Kirk said.

"I don't mind at all but are you sure you guys are okay with me doing so much in the album? I don't wanna take the spotlight off of you.", I said.

"You're fine baby. There's no one we rather share the spotlight with.", Cliff said smiling.
