James Hetfield, My New Neighbor

Chapter 29

"Oh my god, my head hurts." Said Lars. We were all at the waiting room where customers go. Lars was setting on the couch with a wet rag, he used to wipe the blood on his face. I was sitting away from him. Robert was trying to get a hold of James on the phone but won't answer. Kirk came in and throw a bag of ice at Lars with force to his stomach. "Watch it! I'm in pain enough" Lars said, "Oh, I'm sorry." Said Kirk. Kirk walked to Lars and slapped him on the back of the head. *SLAP* "Ow!" Lars said. "Serves you right." Kirk address him. Knowly he knew he done something, Lars put his head down.

"He's not answering." Said Robert, "He could be anywhere." Robert sits next to me. I was crying so much. My tears were coming down left and right of my eyes. "He might be at the bar." Kirk assumed, "I'll take Melanie home and then from there I'll check in any local bar around here. He possible at his house."

Kirk took me home. On the way I was really worried about James. Nothing but worried about where he could be. I didn't want to text just yet because I feel he will lash out on me. On our way, I started to say to myself with Kirk driving, "This is all my fault. I should have told him that day." I said, "Hey!..." Kirk said loudly, "This isn't your fault. This is all because of Lars and if James blames you in anyway, I'll straighten him out myself."

We got to my house and we both notice James wasn't home. "I guess he could be anywhere. But I'll look for him. To make sure he don't do anything stupid. But I'll need your number to let you know." Kirk said. We exchanged numbers and then I headed inside my house. Kirk drove off to look for James. I could at least try to call James.

I called him and called him, but every time it goes straight to voicemail. I left a voicemail saying, "James please call me, I'm sorry for not saying anything sooner. Please call me."

I couldn't sleep or think. I was full of too much emotions.

After and hour and a half, my cell phone rings. *ring ring* I answered it right away, hoping it was James. "James?" I said, "No, it's Kirk....I found him." Kirk said, "Oh....where was He? What is he doing?" I asked. I have more question than that. Kirk was hesitating for a little. "Uhh...i found him but I'm outside of where I can see him. He is inside some diner place and......he is talking to a girl.....looks like a waitress, that works there....ummm Melanie, I'll get inside and stop him." Kirk said. I then remember James and I went to the diner and there was a waitress who flirted with James.

"I'll call you back when I get him." Kirk said. I hang up the phone and I was scared to know what was going on. It was 10 minutes and my cell phone rings. I answered and Kirk starts to talk, "Melanie, he just walked out with her. He pushed me away and he smell like he been drinking. I'm sorry I couldn't stop him.....he drove the other way, I don't think he'll be heading home...."

I felt heart broken, I started to cry and I felt very sad. "....ok....thank you for finding him....bye...." I said.
