Ugh... James! Haven't you noticed by now.... less is more with Alex!

Agree with Jordan completely!!!

FINALLY!!! THE MOUNTAINS!!!! *claps hands excitedly*

The handle on the well spinning out of control - BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Everything seems so pristine, white, quiet, finally the perfect place for them to enjoy each other, without commotion and distraction.
A place allowing her to feel, well, at home, more like herself, reliving her actual past. A place where past and present will unite on so many levels and make magic.
A place where you can't escape intimacy, where there's nothing else but that special someone.
A place where he used to be all alone and is now with his soul mate to greet the new year and face the future with her by her side.
A place surrounded by cold and snow, contrasted by the heat of pulsating, living love and inevitable passion.

Ah, so beautiful, so romantic, so deep.

I never want them to leave. :heart: :heart: :heart:

Now... um.... don't kill me... but....

Well, just read..... the year is 1999...


*hides under the table, holding laptop in front of the face to dodge possible flying objects*













XXXXXIII.




Somewhere in 1999...




(James' POV)



We did it, the most out of the box crazy idea became a plan, then rolled into recording and then into a live gig. Who would've ever guessed that Metallica would share the stage with an orchestra. But we did it and it was great. Many of our friends were there to celebrate this achievement with us, everyone loved it. It was great... it really was. I downed another glass of whiskey and reclined into the chair.

My eyes drifted to the dark window and my hand pulled on the collar of the shirt, making the ring on the chain jump up. Fingers quickly grasped the cold metal, twirling it, eyes closed, chest heaved up, feeling my heart squeeze painfully. Sorrow rose up from the depths of my heart, threatening to swallow my mind, pushing over the barrier, suffocating, overpowering. My eyes flew open, bleeding heart sending my hands to desperately grab the bottle as if it was a life raft. My lips quivered on the edge of the glass, ready to release the name with a sob, but I swallowed it, chasing it back deep inside with the burning liquid. Another day, another bottle, another silent cry, another year without her...

I held it all in for nine years, I pushed it all deep inside, built barriers, an invincible wall, and locked it all away. I put my heart into a cement box and wrapped it in chains with locks. For nine years I didn't let anyone open it, but for some reason today I pulled that ring out of the hidden box and wore it to the gig. I don't know why I did that, self-punishment maybe, or maybe it was last night's dream that brought it all back, opening the old wound in my heart.

A few more speedy gulps sent my head back into a numb fog, the empty bottle hitting the table, while my hands clenched into fists and relaxed. My heart slowed down, returning to a mechanical rhythm. The box closed and the chains returned to their rightful place, locks clicking closed. I carefully breathed in, listening to my heart, but it was silent once again. Back to the normal existence. I slowly stood up and navigated my way to the bedroom. Not caring for the noise I made, I pulled off my shirt and dropped on the bed. My head pounded heavily, the room spun, and I closed my eyes, catching up with my drunk mind. Wasted... again...

“You finally made it to bed.” Warm hands swiped over my back and loving lips landed on my skin.

“Yeah... why are you still up?” I opened my eyes.

“I was waiting for you.” Smiling lips moved on my shoulder and blonde hair tickled my back.

“You shouldn't have... not today, I'm tired....” I pulled out of my wife's arms. Not today... out of all days, not today... Please don't...

“James... are you still mad at me? Nothing happened, I just asked someone to look at that place and see what they can do, I wasn't going to start anything. I only wanted to make it better... I know how much you like that place, all I wanted is to be a part of it, make it more... suitable, so we can join you. I didn't know it would be such a big deal to you... I mean it's just a cabin in the woods. All I wanted to do is build some simple accommodations, like a pump for running water and a bathroom, bring a generator, make the place more livable.”

“It's perfect just as it is.” I felt my jaw clench.

“Not for me and Cali.” Lips returned to my shoulder.

“Because it's not for you, it's my place to be alone, and it's fucking fine how it is!” I pressed my lips together, fighting the anger. The dark box in my chest jumped, pulling on the chains, making me take a deep breath. I will never bring anyone in there, it's sacred to me, it's... it's all I have left... the last hope...

“James, tell me the truth... does that cabin have anything to do with... her.... does it have anything to do with Alex?”

The name hit me right in the heart and the box flew open, spreading the pain through my body, drawing air out of my lungs as my hands gripped into the covers, turning to fists. A black vortex opened up, oozing through the walls. I breathed in, fighting against it. The sad voice behind me broke the silence.

“It does doesn't it? I was right...”

“Who told you that name?”

“You did.”

“No I didn't.” I would never! That name was forbidden, not to be said anywhere around me, for years no one ever reminded me of that name. My fists turned white, crushing the fabric.

“James... you asked me to marry you, you told me you loved me, we've been together for almost five years, married for last two, and all this time I was a perfect wife. I never complained, I stood by you, I gave you a daughter. I loved you more than anything in this world, but despite all that her name is the only name you whisper at night! Not mine, hers.”

“I can't control my dreams and you fucking know it. Fran... drop it.. not today...”

“James... I can survive your cheating, it hurts, but I can survive it. I can put in place a few eager groupies. I knew what I was getting into and I took it with the territory, hoping one day you'll change, one day you'll get it. One day you'll love me enough to care. I can fight your whores, I can't fight her... I can't fight a memory. I can't... she's still here, in your heart, in your mind, in your dreams, in that damn cabin! I know you're still looking for her and worst of all... I know that if you ever find her... if she ever shows up and decides to take you back, you would forget my name in a heart beat.”

“I said drop it! We're never going to talk about her! She's none of your business!”

“She becomes my business when you throw a fit about a shitty cabin, she becomes my business when you prefer to ditch your family every fucking New Year's!”

“I told you, Christmas is for family, New Year's I like to spend with my friends! That's how it is and that is how it's going to be!” Heavy head, heavy heart pounding in my chest. Not today... I roughly stood up and turned, stumbling on pair of sad blue eyes.

“Liar! I know you go to the cabin and you go there alone. You go there every New Year, to be with her, with the memory of her!”

My heart went into overdrive, anger splashed in my head, pushing out a low roar.

“What are you spying on me now? That is it! You crossed the fucking line! I'm out of here!” I quickly grabbed my shirt and opened the door. My wife's scream chased after me.

“James! Don't you walk away from me! You owe me some respect!”

*wipes tears*

OK, so I finally composed myself.

It was a shock. But in terms of the plot, it's a great twist.

I loved the "box" theme. James' heart in a box, the ring that was once in the box, now on the chain hanging around his neck. The chain holding the ring mirrors the chains holding his heart safely hidden in the box. The invisible chain of guilt and regret clinking throughout the chapter, like ice cubes in a glass of whiskey that, alas, does nothing to drown the sorrow.

This James part was just perfect. His every thought, word, move so wonderfully transposed. So much sadness in his plea "not today". So much never ending hope in his refusal to do anything with the cabin (and how typical that the "good wife" tried to remodel it, trying actually to change what he is, what she knows he is and for ever will be, stupid hopes of being able to "change" the man she's married to, and even more pathetic "you owe me this, cause I've been good to you" argument. Just GAH!)

It's just SAD. Period.

:heart:
