Noodle's Story:

Don't you just HATE it when people who always forget stuff, remember the things you wish they wouldn't?

I do.

Hi, my name's Noodle… and this week had been the bane of my life.

Let me explain…

Cue the lights! Audience… shut the hell up and be prepared for a rollercoaster tale.

'Face-ache… geeze, how fuckin' dumb are yeh?! We have a week and a bit to get this fuckin' song right, SING IT PROPERLY YOU TWAT!' screamed Murdoc, pulling at his greasy hair.

'Sowwy, Muds… I keep forgettin' to sing tha' bit of th' song.' 2D mumbled, blushing.

'No surprise there then…' growled Murdoc. 'Righ'… start from the chorus!'

'Let's go!' I giggled, strumming the chords of my guitar.

'I saw that dayyyyy,

Lost my miiiiiind…

Lord I'm fiiiiiiine…

Maybe in time; you'll waaaaant to be mineee.' Sang 2D, soothing the microphone with his soft voice.

'Fuckin' YES mate! Top notch, dullard!' grinned Murdoc 'Yeh, your gonna be fine fer now. Wrap it up, lads.'

'And lady…' I reminded him.

'Wotever' Murdoc yawned, throwing his bass in the corner and strolling out of the room, scratching his balls as he went.

'Charming male…' I muttered under my breath, as Russel followed Murdoc out, and 2D sorted out the microphone.

'S'ok Noods… Murdoc's a tossa'… we all know that' 2D said, ruffling my hair just like he always does.

'Thanks, 2D' I smiled, hugging him after I'd placed my guitar on its stand.

'Anytime, love' he grinned, kissing my forehead.

I LOVE it when he does that…

It's not like I fancy him or anything… okay I'm lying. I fancy him a bit. …okay… a lot.

A huge lot.

I blushed for an hour after 2D kissed my head.

So I decided to stay in my room until that subsided.

'Oi… Noods… c'mon down to my room in 5, ok?' 2D smiled, poking his head round my door.

'Oh, 2D… you scared me then!' I giggled, sitting up and tilting my head to the side. 'Why?' I asked.

'I got sumfink for yah' he winked, walking away before I could ask anymore.

Confused, I got up and made sure I looked half decent. I was wearing skinny jeans, a white tank top and a necklace 2D had brought back from Thailand for me. I haven't taken it off since.

Five minutes later, I was hammering on 2D's door.

'Let me innnnnn!' I whined, leaning my forehead on the door, just as 2D opened it, making me fall headfirst… into his crotch. …Great.

'Wooooah there, love!' 2D laughed, steadying me and placing his hands over my eyes.

'2D… what are you doing?' I giggled, running my hands over his… just for the thrill.

'Wait for it…' 2D whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine.

He nudged me forward with a push of his hips… pressing himself against my back as he did so. Ohhh… do it again, I willed. This is the closest I've been to him in awhile.

As he nudged me forward, I felt my foot hit something. 'Bingo!' 2D whooped, taking his hands off my eyes.

I looked down, to see a shiny black guitar on a new stand, with my name engraved into in a Japanese font. My jaw dropped. This was the guitar I'd been pining for for months now!

'Oh… 2D… thank you… oh my god… I love it… Ohhh it's beautiful…' I sighed, dropping to my knees and stroking the guitar.

'I knew yah liked it, so I fort I'd get it for yah, as a fankyou for being a great friend' 2D smiled, sitting next to be and placing an arm around my waist.

'Awwwww 2D… you didn't have to… friendship costs nothing!' I laughed, pecking him on the cheek.

'Don't be silly, Noods… you're special to me.' He smiled, hugging me.

We stayed like that for awhile, as I just sat there, gazing at my new guitar, cuddled up to 2D. At that moment… it was perfect.

Then I had to screw it all up…

We sat there for about half an hour in total silence, until I felt 2D's hand on my neck. This sent shivers down my spine again… the nice kind.

'Your still wearing it…' he smiled, fingering my necklace.

'Yup, never taken it off' I grinned, doing the same, 'accidentally' brushing my hands against his. As I did so, he grasped my hands and twisted me round from where I was sat, so I was facing him.

'Noods… you mean a lot to me y'know…' he said softly.

I blushed a lot then. I shyly looked into his eyes.

'You mean a lot to be too, 2D…' I whispered, tilting my head up a bit.

'You're like someone I've never met before… like a-' he started, but I put my finger to his lips.

'Don't worry 2D… I feel the same…' I purred inching closer to him. He looked at me, confused and went to say something, when I hushed him.

'You don't need to explain, 2D…' I said seductively, leaning in and pressing my lips to his.

Oh… that moment was bliss… until…

'Noodle... what the hell!?!' a voice roared from behind us.

I jumped up and turned around to see Murdoc, standing in the door way.

'How long have you been there?!' I stuttered, starting to shake.

'Long-e-fucking-nough.' Murdoc growled, shoving me out of the way and heading towards 2D, who'd backed himself up against the wall.

'Oh… fuck…' I stammered, tears forming in my eyes.

I watched as Murdoc slammed a fist into 2D's gut. I didn't know what to do…

…so I turned round and ran.

I ran and ran until I reached my room, flung myself in, shoved a chest of drawers in the way of the door, and sunk to my bed, sobbing.

2D got beaten up, and it was my entire fault. I didn't help him… I ran like a fucking wimp.

I made a fool of myself, in front of my long-term crush.

I made Murdoc see red, and blame 2D.

He's never gonna talk to me again.

…and this was just day one.
