Chapter One

2D stared at the ceiling with a contemplating expression. He thought about all the things that had happened earlier that day in a solemn silence. He felt insulted and worried. It didn't help that he felt a migraine coming, a big one too.

Murdoc had said it in a very proud tone. A bit like he was looking forward to it happening soon.

"Noodle, with a voice like yours, we won't be needing face-ache. Pretty soon, you'll be our lead singer."

It stung him hard. After all the years of singing for the "Gorillaz" and being center stage, he would just be thrown to the side like a piece of trash. He couldn't be mad at Noodle because it wasn't her fault. It wasn't like she was trying to take his place on purpose. She was talented, and he'd never hold that against her.

What really hit him was that they all laughed like it was some inside joke the three of them shared. He had to admit, Murdoc was one to do those things, but not Noodle and Russel. They had always looked out for him.

His migraine worsened and he sat up on his elbows. He grabbed his pills and popped a few in his mouth.

Murdoc was cruel and sadistic. It was because of him that 2D constantly had to pop pills. But despite everything he did, 2d could never bring himself to leave. He just didn't want to, and he wouldn't. Today's event seemed to confirm that the other's wanted him gone. He'd have to leave eventually.

A soft knock at the door awakened him from his thoughts.

He trudged out of bed and towards the door with a forlorn expression pasted on his face. He wasn't to keen on seeing any of his band mates at the moment. All he really wanted to do was lay in bed.

"2D san, I came to ask you if you want to come eat with us," Noodle smiled up at him, her eyes peeking from under her fringe.

"No, s'okay," he flashed a small smile, "Not hungry."

"Are you sure?" she paused, eyes concerned. "You've locked yourself down here ever since rehearsal. Do you feel sick?"

"I always feel sick."

This seemed to shock her and she looked up, concern more evident in her features now. He wasn't trying to be rude, it just came out. With those words, he even shocked himself a bit. His tone sounded just like Murdoc's. It was harsh, and disturbing when it came out of his mouth.

"Noodle luv, I'm sorry. I'm not hungry, and I'd like to be left alone."

She was about to speak, but was too slow as 2Dshut the door in her face. With a worried glance, she walked back to the kitchen in silence.

"Murdoc-san, Russel-san, I am worried about 2D," she chewed on the cheese of her pizza.

"Don't worry luv, the dullard will be the same as always tomorrow."

Murdoc didn't seem to care much about what Noodle said. She explained to them what happened and expressed the fact that someone should talk to 2D. He took another bite of his pizza and stood.

"Going back to the Winnie."

He went out the door towards the parking. Pretty soon, the Winnebago was in sight.

His hand touched the handle and was about to open the door when he heard a load crash coming from the room across the lot.

It was the dullard's room, how Murdoc wished he hadn't heard the deafening crash. But he did, and it made him curious. Besides, he wanted to say a few things to 2D anyway, why not kill two birds with one stone he figured.

"Face-ache, open the damn door," he banged on it a few times.

The door opened slowly. 2D peeked from inside, not fully opening the door. Murdoc could still tell that the lights where off and the room was as messy as always.

He could swear that the dullard walked around in the dark for fun, crashing into things and breaking them. Some of those things cost a lot to replace too.

Murdoc was about to explode until he saw the expression that 2D wore. He looked like an abandoned dog that just got a kick. The rims of his eyes were red, and his hands shook at his sides. This wasn't the usual face-ache, something had happened. But what, Murdoc didn't know, he didn't really care either.

2D uttered some soft words.

"Murdoc… I quit…"
