I'm sorry (A James Hetfield story)

Turned To Stone

After another sleepless night, I was up yet again, at 2am, doing nothing but writing stuff down, I even wrote my own vows, holy hell why did I start this at 2am? Denise came down the stairs in her robe, it was going to be just tonight and tomorrow, Wednesday night, was going to the last ride, for me to be newly divorced and married, good God!

"What's up?" Denise came over to me and smiled.

"Uh couldn't sleep, just worried about everything." But I shouldn't be.

"Don't worry, we have 9 months, which won't be until November of this year, depending on how he or she wants to be born." Now I really want to know, how the hell did I impregnate you?

"Right, I uh was writing some vows, I know we don't have to, but I think it would be cool." Okay.

"Okay, can I see yours?" Uh no ha-ha.

"I'm actually not done, but it's a surprise." and it will be.

"It's okay, I will just write some vows too then." Good, I came up behind Denise at the sink, and just held her in my arms, for a few minutes, I rested my head on her shoulder, tight and awkward but it was an okay hug, I kissed her cheek and whispered into her ear, "I love you." She blushed.

"I love you too Papa Het." Now, that is the first time, Denise has ever called me that.

"I want you!" Denise put the glass down on the counter, and we ran up the stairs. We got to the bedroom, we got naked and just made out, until I went to get a cigar, I need to stop doing that.

"After the wedding, no smoking." Denise sighed and rubbed my chest, where I had the kid's names, I took Denise's hand and kissed it, I laid on my side and put my glasses on.

"Okay, oh wow, I can see you better, ha-ha." Denise laughed with me.

"I love your laugh, it's just natural and sexy." huh? sexy? I'll give you sexy.

"I'll give you sexy!" I moved the covers off us, I got on top of Denise and just tickled her to death. 

"James! Stop!" Aw what's the matter, can't take it.

"I am the master!" Good one James!

"I really need to pee." Oh okay, I let Denise up, uh yeah, she wasn't lying either, jeez that a lot of pee, I squint for a moment, while I take off my glasses, Denise walked up to the bed again and she got on top of me now, wow! Let's see what else we can do for the next 24 hours.

"Hi." I just laid back on the bed, with a cigar in my mouth, Denise bent down to kiss me.

"So, when do we leave?" Like tomorrow night.

"Tomorrow night at 5." Why?

"No reason." Oh yeah okay.

"Yeah okay." I put out the cigar and brushed my teeth, then I went back in bed with Denise and turned off the light, we snuggled against each other, I hummed softly to Nothing Else Matters, to help the both of us fall asleep and it fucking worked! ha-ha. The next morning was very tiring, I had a hard time getting up, I got up at 9am, which was unusual, but it was okay. I walked into the kitchen and saw Denise talk with Lars and Amanda, wait! what's going on here?

"Hi!" Lars practically yelled at me, ouch my head!

"It's 9am, why are you here?" I gave Lars a look!

"To leave silly, I booked us an early room, I figured we all can drive together, doesn't that sound great?" Oh great, there goes my mood for the day. (Authors note: ha-ha)

"You look sad, you're focking getting married man!" Lars screamed at me. Oh god shut up, you fruit cake! it's 9am and too fucking early, next time, give me some warning, jeez!

"I'm not mad." I am, I just don't show it.

"I hope you are not mad at me." I'm not just frustrated.

"No man, I'm sorry, just tired and, eh nevermind." I'm hard okay!

"You can tell me." Well, not in front of the women!

"Not in front of the girls, man." I rolled my eyes at Lars.

"Okay, we can talk about whatever you want later." I guess.

"So, shall we go?" Amanda rolled her eyes at Denise and I, we aren't even dressed yet, for the day or ready to go, give us 20 minutes, so Denise and I walked up the stairs, grabbed our suitcases and thank God, we did this 2 nights ago, we got our dress attire together and we got changed in whatever we wanted, because at this point, I didn't give a crap.

"We need a chair lift or something." I said, as I bought my suitcase down, luckily it doesn't weight that much, same with Denise's suitcase, Lars helped me put the suitcases in back of his SUV car thing, I would of wanted to take my car, but whatever, Amanda and Denise sat in the back and Lars and I were in front, but before we all left, I locked all the doors, windows, and turned off the gas, breakers and electrical box, until we come back in a few days, I told my assistant to keep an eye on the house, and he did, thank the lord! We had map quest on Lars's car, but I didn't trust the fucking thing, it kept on asking me questions, ha-ha. Our band comes on the radio, it was no big deal, but Denise loved it, she needs to stop that! ha-ha.
