She's not doing so well

10 months had passed, not a single sign of waking up from Clover. James hadn't been himself since that night

Kirk walked in with a sort of blonde-ish beautiful woman, they were holding hand and seemed to be sort of happy

"How's she doin?" Kirk asked concerned

"The same.. haven't heard anything different recently.." James mumbled while gently rubbing his thumb against Clover's hand

He look exhausted, hungry, and just not a human..

"Oh um.. this is my girlfriend Mayli, I met her a few weeks ago.." Kirk introduced the woman

She smiled and nodded over to James

"It's nice to meet u, I wish it was under better circumstances.." she expressed

James nodded "me too, be good to him alright.. he deserves the best."

She smiled and looked over at Kirk "yeah.. he does..."

Mayli was cut of when a loud beeping sound was heard

James snapped his head to see Clover's heart monitor was flatlining

Kirk instantly ran out of the room to get help, Mayli hot on his tail to get some as well

James was distressed, crying and begging for help

Multiple doctors rushed in and assisted to the little girl

"Sir we're gonna have to ask you to leave.." one of the nurses said looking at James

"No! That's my daughter I need to be here!" He shouted

"I understand sir, but the doctors need to work without distractions.." The nurses added

"I don't give a shit! I'm not leaving this room." He shouted again

The nurse decided to leave it be and assist the doctors

Not long after they got her heart beat back, James sighing in relief

Everyone but the main doctor left the room, having James sit down so he could inform him of something

"Look.. Mr. Hetfield, im going to be honest here.. She's not looking so well"

James stared off into the distance "you have to help her doctor.. that's my little girl.. she's.. she's all I got in this world and.. I need her.." James sobs

"I'm trying my best.. but.. unfortunately there isn't much we can do, you have to make a decision here sir.. either way we might have to pull the plug.." the doctor informed before slowly walking out of the room

James looked over at the little girl, she was slowly getting weaker and weaker.. she was skinny, too skinny.. she looked gray, her normal bright blonde hair looked faded..

This wasn't his baby.. his little girl.. she always was bright and bubbly, she cared about others before herself, always wanted others to laugh.. even when they were in a bad mood, and most importantly.. she loved him.. even when he didn't deserve to be loved, she did..

James placed his head on the bed, holding onto her leg. Sobbing his poor eyes out.. he just couldn't see his little girl go through this, she deserved to be in peace.. no pain.. no hurt.. relaxation and peace..

The door opened and Lars, Kirk, and.. Cliff walked in.. well Cliff in a wheelchair

Cliff wiped tears from his face "she better be okay or I will kill someone.." he said wheeling himself into the room

James sat up sniffling "she's uh.. not doing too hot.." he mumbled

Lars frowned "what do you mean.. not doing too hot..?"

James crossed his arms "meaning.. she's dying Lars.. my baby's dying and there's nothing I can do.."

Cliff's grip tightened on the armrests of his wheelchair

"Your telling me.. that babygirl.. is fucking dying, and that fucking lard gets to sit around without any consequences!" He exclaimed

James turned his head towards Clover "he killed my baby.. and for that I will never forgive him."

Kirk hid his face in his hands, he couldn't even think to imagine this happening

Lars pulled Kirk into a hug, while Kirk cried into his hands

Cliff moved closer to her bed, holding her hand

He quietly mumbled something to her, making sure nobody but her would hear

"I'm gonna.. make some arrangements, I want her to be.. comfortable" James mumbled wiping more tears away before walking out of the room in defeat

Lars pulled Kirk out of the room, knowing he was on the verge of a breakdown at any moment

Leaving Cliff with the girl, he smiled weakly "now babygirl.. we're besties and your over here leaving me.." he said sadly

He pulled his leg up onto the bed to show his socks "see I got those socks with your face on em.. we're supposed to be matching!"

He put his leg back down, moving some hair off her face "come back to uncle cliffy yeah? You can't leave me here with those idiots all by myself.. and your daddy needs you, your all he has left pumpkin"

He kissed her forehead before wheeling out of the room

Once he was gone.. her hand twitched, showing the first sign.. that she was there...
