She Was An Orphan Until.... (complete)

20-Gone

September 27, 1986.

I woke up on a cloudy morning. I saw Slash sitting on the foot of my bed. His face was full of sadness.

"Slash?" I asked.

"I hate to be the one to admit this to you." Slash said.

I sat up and crawled over to Slash.

"What it is brother?" I asked.

He handed me a news paper.

Cliff Burton, killed in tour bus accident.

I screamed at the top of my lungs. I ran out onto my porch and looked up.

"Cliff!!!" I moaned.

I began to sob. Izzy ran up and hugged me. He began to kiss me.

"It's gonna be ok." He said. I buried my head into his chest.

A few hours had passed and I sat on my bed going through polaroid pictures of me and Cliff.

Soon Meg walked in. She sat on my bed and picked up a picture. It was one of Cliff liking a piece of pizza.

"Lil...stop doing this to yourself." Meg said.

"But.....I loved him... he was my other brother." I cried.

"By the way...Izzy wants you." Meg said.

I walked into Izzy and Stevens room.

"Hey babe." I said trying to hold back tears.

He turned his head and I noticed him crying.

"He's dead...one of my best dudes!" Izzy cried.

I sat down next to him. Laying my head on his chest.

"I miss him already." I said.

"God must have needed a new bassist for his band." Izzy chuckled.

"Probably." I said.

Suddenly Izzy kissed me. I stared into his brown eyes.

"I love you!!" He said.

"I love you more Jeffrey!"
