Chapter 1: The Best Accident of my Life!

'If I knew that this was going to happen… I would've stayed in the store.' A ten year old boy thought as he was being carted to a Hospital.

Oh… You weren't here to see it? Well then maybe we should go back a bit.

~Two Hours Ago 1st Person POV~

My name is Harold Griffin and I'm a homeless ten year old. The story of my life is this I love to play the Flute (which isn't gay for those idiots that say that it is) but anyways I found out that I had talent for it. No matter what I looked at I could play it easily without practice once I got how to read the notes and how to play them.

I usually wear a black hoodie with horizontal gray and green lines. They were also headphones as well but I also wear blue jeans and red and white vans. Lately I've taken the habit of wearing my hood up all the time which gets me weird looks but when I play my flute they leave me alone… Although I get money for it.

Before all this I had a great life, a loving family, great friends and a great future but that all changed. My parents were owners of a Recording Company but there was an incident where a deal with a rapper went wrong and he burned the place down with my parents in there. I could never remember who the Rapper was but I've been getting by on the streets through performing great songs on my flute.

Over my life I've remade famous songs for the Flute like In the End, Hero, Comatose, Animal I have Become and last but not least Young.

With that talent I've been able to keep myself from going hungry and I made at least sixteen bucks a day to eat.

If anyone ever calls me a Gary Stu I would beat the crap out of them though.

But anyways I always make the best of what I have, which isn't much at the moment, but today I actually made forty bucks which was enough for a week's worth of food if I was careful with it. So I ran towards the local market to get some food to eat for today.

"Hey old man!" I shouted as a man in his eighties looked over with a smile. His name was Richard Gregory and he was a kind old man and he would've adopted me but he was barely paying for himself so instead he always tries to help me the best he could.

"Harold you keeping out of trouble?" Richard asked with a smile.

The most likable thing about Richard was that no matter what he always smiled.

"You know it!" I said before ordering the usual. "I'm actually starting to get a bit more money as a Flutist!"

Richard nodded. "You're flute… It's the only thing left from your family isn't it?" He asked hesitantly.

I felt a lump in my throat as I thought about that. My flute was a shiny silver one that my Grandfather played in the Army Band and it was passed down to me. I always kept it clean putting it above everything because without it I would never be able to get any money.

"Yeah." Nodding I looked at him. "This flute is the only thing that's keeping me going, I guess."

Upon hearing that Richard got onto his knees. "Listen Harold you have a great talent but don't think that just because you think it's the only thing keeping you going then you're wrong." He smiled again. "You've kept me going as well."

I smiled before I noticed that it was a little too quiet in the store. "Do you want me to play some music in the store?" I asked with a smile.

Richard laughed whole heartedly. "If you don't mind, the radio is broken anyway."

With a nod I put the flute to my lips and began to play Awake and Alive in a slow sweet melody on the flute. While playing I drawn quite a crowd as they came to shop helping Richard with his business and well music is the only thing in my life that matters right now.

When I finished I opened my eyes only to have them widen in shock at how many people were actually listening and I felt nervous as they all clapped. "Uh thank you." I managed to get out without stuttering thankfully. "I'm happy that you could enjoy it."

Once that was out of the way I had at least two hundred and seventy-eight dollars courtesy of the people in the store which was more money that I have ever seen before in my life but I carried it in my pocket so no one would see me with it.

'Okay if I can get a career in music I would be set for life.' I thought with a smile but as I thought about that I sighed knowing that with my luck it wouldn't work like that.

… And that was when it happened. As if on cue I heard a screech of a tire so I turned to see a car swerve in front of a girl but the windshield broke as a young man came flying out of there.

The only thing I could see about this young man was that his hair was blue and spiky before he crashed into me and I flew back breaking through a store window with class cutting my skin.

It was so bad that blood was overflowing from my wounds and I passed out as they put an oxygen mask over me.

After a long while I woke up in the Hospital and after a little bit of arguing with the doctors I had my hoodie back on with the hood up but I was put off by the fact that they never picked my flute up which meant I lost it… I lost the only thing from my family.

A few days have passed and I knew that I was going to be let out after a while.

"- Harold?" I looked up to see the nurse. "You have a guest, would you like for me to send him in?"

I nodded thinking that it was Richard but imagine my surprise when it was someone that I didn't know.

It was a teen with spiky blue hair and for some reason pitch black eyes and he walked in and sat in the chair next to my bed.

After a bit I realized that he was the teen that crashed through the windshield and I was shocked to see him still alive.

"I brought somefing." He said in broken English and to my amazement he brought my Flute Case out of nowhere. "I fought that you vuld like it bac."

As he sat it next to my bed I just stared at it in disbelief that someone actually gave it back to me.

"I'm Stu but resently I started to go buy 2-D." He said smiling to show that he was missing his two front teeth. "I felt bad bout causing yew to be in the Hospitol!"

"… I'm Harold." I managed to get out. "Thank you."

"It's no problm!" 2-D said still smiling. "So yew play music?

I nodded. "It's my life."

Now he was really smiling. "Me too! I sing mostly as well as play the keybord!"

"Oh that's cool." I managed to get out before a new voice interrupted me.

"Face Ache?! Where are you?" Another guy made his way into the room and I was shocked to see him because for one thing… His skin was green and his eyes were mismatched his left eye was blood red and his right eye was black. "There you are! What are you doing in here?"

'Face Ache?' I thought in confusion but I was mostly wondering how this guy was green.

"Oh I wos just seeing Harold here after we caused him to be hospitalised Murdoc." 2-D explained. "I also vanted to return his Fute!"

The now named Murdoc gave me a look. "So you're the kid that Face Ache crashed into?" He asked.

Hesitantly I nodded.

"He plays music!" 2-D intervened.

Now Murdoc looked really interested. "Oh is that so? Would you mind giving us a demonstration?"

Seeing nothing wrong with that I opened the Flute Case and put it together before deciding to play 'What I've Done' By Linkin Park.

At first Murdoc wasn't too pleased to find out that I play a Flute and said something about them being for cats or something but he looked surprised that I could play a good song on it and when I was done 2-D was clapping while he was still smiling while Murdoc looked lost in thought.

After a bit Murdoc smiled. "I have a proposition for you kid."

To Be Continued…

Okay so what do you think? I'm not expecting any good reviews because I'm still trying to get 2-D's character down and I wanted to put in an OC from the very beginning so any helpful criticism that I can get would be extremely helpful in this. And if anyone is wondering what Harold's face looks like (eye color, hair color, etc.) Don't because when the Hood is up all you can see is the shadows so no one knows what he looks like… It will be revealed much later on if I keep this story up.

But anyways I've become a fan of the band Gorillaz and I when I found them on Fanfiction I had the urge to do a story on them so here's a first attempt on it.

So please review, Firefox out!
