Saturday night(part two) -Cliff Burton

This will be carrying on from the last part which was the first chapter of this book.

Recap

I was in complete denial about that. I must be hallucinating. I must be. "I'm going crazy there's no such thing as ghosts" I say to myself.
"Oh so I'm not real then. Yeah I heard that" I hear dad say from outside my room. "Nevermind they are real then" I say "Y/n go to sleep it's 1:24 am" my dad says.
-
I woke up the next morning and went downstairs. I saw my uncle James sitting at the table rubbing his eyes he looked hungover. I guess he stayed over as he was to drunk to drive home.

"Hey uncle James" I say to him "Oh hey Y/n sorry if I woke you up" he says looking at me "it's okay you didn't wake me up , you look really hung over , you want a drink of water?" I ask "Yes please" he says. I get up and put him a glass of water I also get him a painkiller. "Who was you talking to last night or this morning even?" He asks "oh no one" I say nervously "you didn't have anyone over right?" He asks "no what makes you think that?" I ask him "Because when I walked past your room for the toilet I heard a manly voice speaking to you" he says. I feel my heart beating faster "you know you can tell me anything I won't tell anyone unless I really have too" he says assuring me.

I sat across from him at the table. "Well last night I got into bed and my dad was there" I say "what do you mean? He passed away?" He asked "i know he did but he was there as a ghost not human"I explain "Bullshit that can't be real your lying" He says not believing me "you have to believe me I'm not lying I promise you might even see him yourself" I say "well until I see him myself I'm not believing you" he says.

I see my dad's ghost appear behind James. He looked at me to say should I scare him. I gave him a small nod to go ahead.

"James" my dad says. I watch James's face go white in shock and most likely fear. I watch James turn around slowly. "Believe me?" I say "y-yes" he says with a stutter.

I watch James get up and hug Cliff. Watching the moment made me happy for James. "I've missed you so much man" James says "I've missed you too" my dad says back.

We all sat at the table and talked for a while. "So why did you decide to come here?" James asks "well first of all I wanted to be there for my not so little girl , she means the world to me" My dad says causing me to smile "aw that's sweet" James says "But I have been around here for a while but I just wasn't visible" My dad admits "Oh" James says sounding a little disappointed "your not disappointed in me right" James asks "Why would I be?" My dad asks "well after you died I turned to alcohol" James admits "I know you did" Cliff says "I try to stop all the time and I get clean for a few days and I relapse" James says "I know and I'm proud of you , I'm also proud of you Y/n to for everything" my dad says to the both of us. I smile "That means a lot" I say to my dad.

I get up and hug my dad for the first time in many years although it wasn't his real body it still felt like he was a real body and not a ghost.

We all decided that we wasn't going to tell me mom as she would most likely flip out and say we are communicating with the devil and she would get someone to perform an exorcism to get rid of Dad.

I have to admit it was strange to have him back as a ghost but I'm really grateful.

Many months later.

A few months had passed since Dad returned as a ghost and my uncles have asked me to perform live with them. Since I played bass I was playing along with Jason.

The day of the performance

Today was the day I was playing with Metallica , I was quite excited but nervous too since it was my first time playing live in front of hundreds of people.

As I was getting ready to go on stage my mom approached me and hugged me. "Your father would be so so proud of you and I'm so proud of you too" she says "thank you , I try to be the bassist for him" I say to her. She kisses my forehead and walks me to the side of the stage where I stay until I get called onto the stage by James.

I feel someone place a hand on my shoulder I turn around and see my dad's figure "You're going to do great don't worry" he says. I nod and smile , I don't say anything back just incase my mom notices and points it out.

"For today's show we have a very special guest.."I hear James say through the speakers "Let's welcome Y/n Burton to the stage" He says as I walk onto the stage with my late fathers signature bass. I walk over to Jason who was near the front.

The first song we played was 'For whom the bells toll' Me and Jason both played the intro together. I looked up to see the crowd there were so many people clapping along to the song it was crazy seeing so many people engaged in the song.

The last song we played was Orion we played it in memory of my dad. Jason let me play the bass solo's in the song and it felt really special. When it got to the part of where the guitars harmonise together it felt like someone took over my whole body. During that part my body felt extremely light as if I was floating everything felt unreal. Shortly after the song finished and we thanked everyone who turned up for the show and we left the stage.

After a few seconds of walking we reached the backstage area.

"Y/n you did so well" Lars says "You really did" James adds "Apart from doing really well , during the bass solo's and where me James played together you looked quite lifeless not in a bad way it looked like you wasn't there while you played" Kirk says "oh did I?" I ask "Yeah I was looking at you for quite a while and you looked like something took over your body" he admits "That's strange because when i was playing it didn't feel like I was there and I felt super light" I admit "That's really weird" Lars says as we reach the small lounge room.

I decided that I was going to the bathroom to check myself in the mirror as I felt super exhausted.

I looked at myself in the mirror and I looked fine. "Strange" I say to myself. "You did so well I'm really proud" I hear someone say. I turned around and it was my dad , I almost let out a scream. "Your not feeling tired right?" He asks "I am and it's strange because I slept for hours straight last night" I say , I hear him sigh "it's my fault" he says "what do you mean?" I ask "well when you was playing Orion I managed to take over your body and play the song" he admits "oh is that why I felt really light and nothing felt real?" I ask "yeah that's probably why, usually when I take over someone's body it takes a lot of their energy for me to take control of them leaving them quite tired or exhausted" he explains "ohh makes sense then but you could've asked I would've let you" I say "my bad I used to not asking people and doing it anyways but sorry" he say apologizing to me "it's fine don't worry" I say assuring him "But well done I'm super proud of you" he says giving me a hug I hug him back "I do it for you" I say into him chest.

I don't think there will be another part to this chapter but this is 100% a story idea which I might go forward with.
