From the Desk of Ms. Swizzerz: Hyuu- Let the angstness flow in!!

This chapter allows the reader to see how much 2D has changed since he split up with the Gorillaz.

This is the longest chapter so far - be warned of the language that appears in this text. So FYI cover the eyes of the little ones!

The song is called Haru Haru by a Korean group called Big Bang. If you translate the title it means day by day.

Oh before I leave you alone to read this insanely long installment. I want to thank every one that has been reading this story. It's quite a shock for me to actually see that people are reading it.

Okay so here's Chapter 3 "Day By Day" here we go!

Wait sorry! I forgot to mention this isn't the actual lyrics this is just a translation. SORRY!!

Okie now we go.


"I sigh deep as if the ground is going to cave in. Only dust is piled up in my mind"

-Big Bang (Haru Haru)


"Gawd why can't they just leave me alone!?" The stressed out singer dropped his head in his hands slowly and let out an annoyed sigh. "Don't these foks 'ave anyfink betta t'do?"

"Mr.D?" The driver of the Benz looked at 2D from the corner of his gray eyes.

"Wozit James?" The resentful young man didn't even bother to lift up his head.

"The paparazzi..." James swallowed a gulp of air. "The paparazzi will have another field day with today's err events..."

"Tell me somefink I didn't know." He stretched out his outrageously long legs and rested his head on one of calloused hands. " 'onsestly this is getting old. Jus take me home now......"

It's been a little over two months since 2D was last home. No this wasn't his home it was just where he had been living since the Gorillaz went on hiatus.

The Benz pulled up smoothly to a pure white building with various emerald embellishments in elaborate geometric designs. The building itself was top of the line with the en vogue designs of some French guy that 2D didn't know, but then again he wouldn't care. It was just a white tower that stuck out dramatically among its surroundings. Not only was it the most modern looking among the Victorian houses but it was also the tallest building in all of London; it's stretched to an alarming 35 stories! Just by the minimal description it's best to assume that this place would cost a regular person an arm and a leg to even enter. Obviously 2D wasn't a normal person, and he got this place because of the privacy it offered. And God knows that man needed some privacy.

2D scrutinized his driver closely for the first time. James was a heavy set Caucasian man, probably from Manchester. From the way the crow's feet and what Murdoc called "Laugh lines" marked the driver's face, the singer turned model deduced he was at least a few years older than the Satanic bassist.

Murdoc

Rusell

Noodle

The darked eyed man's facade broke for a moment as the thoughts of his band mates began to slide into his mind. He quickly gained back his composure and pushed those memories out of his mind.

James stopped the BMW with ease and clicked off his seat belt in one smooth motion. He ran to the the passenger side and opened the door politely for the blue haired super star. His driver stood by the door with military posture that it seemed like he was one of the Queen's royal guards instead of a driver. 2D got out of the car with the charisma he usually saved for the photo shoots and commercials.

It caused many of the people outside of the building to stop what they were doing and and stare at the blue haired man with admiration.

" Goodbye Mr. D, Hope the rest of your day turns out better."

2D pushed up his sunglasses indifferently and looked at the middle aged driver with a hardened expression.

"I really don't that's even close to possible James." He turned away to face the entrance and shoved his hands in his pocket impatiently.

"I'll call yew if I gotta go anywhere."

2D took long melancholy strides toward the elevators by the main lobby. There was constant stares and whispers of people as he passed by. Some even had to audacity to point!

Idiots

The blue haired idol stood alone in the elaborately decorated elevator. His long pianist fingers glossed over the buttons sluggishly until his his index finger abruptly jabbed number 35. He leaned his gangly figure against the the the wall behind him. 2D stared up at the ceiling and closed his large black eyes slowly. He allowed his mind to drift away to a place where he was safe from the harshness of reality His thoughts were disrupted by a woman hollering frantically at him.

"Sir Please! Keep the elevator door open! Please sir!"

She looked about his mom's age but probably twice her weight. Why were middle aged people in London so fat?

The woman continued to holler as she approached the elevator. The bitter young man lifted one of his elongated legs and kicked the button that closed the elevator's door. The door began to close slowly, but the woman quickened her pace. The middle aged woman only needed less than half a meter left , but the elevator's door sealed itself and gave off a low hum.

"I knew she wasn't gonna make it"

2D pulled out the pack of cigarettes he bought right before the mob began to stalk him. From his other pocket was a lighter shaped as a grenade. A little memento, to remember the fun they had making the "Dirty Harry" video, courtesy of Booty Brown. It's been over a year since he had a smoke, and God knows he needed on now. He popped the cigarette in his mouth and got it to light on the second try. 2D attempted to take a long drag but as the smoke entered his system it caused him to burst in a fit of coughing. After a couple of minutes of coughing he regained his composure.

"I'm gonna try this again. I just practice is all." He brought the cigarette in his left hand closer to lips and exhaled slowly. Just as he was going to put his lips on it once more, a voice, with the beauty of a violin, sang sweetly in his ear.

"If you keep smoking it would damage that wonderful voice of yours."

2D jumped back in confusion and looked at his surroundings. He was all alone and the only sound was coming from the low humming of the elevator.

He closed his eyes again and consoled himself

"Jus my imagination nuhfink more, nuhfink more...."

The third time's a charm; The blue haired pretty boy tried again. At exactly the same moment when he heard the voice he scanned the elevator meticulously to make sure there was no interruptions this time around . After a few seconds he precoded.

"If you can't stop smoking for yourself, can you at least stop for me?" The voice wasn't as loud as the one he heard before, but the sadness in its tone tore at his soul.

"Damn," he snarled under his breath. He threw the cigarette down in the exact manner that he used on the camera earlier that day. 2D obliterated the cigarette in one large stamp of his leather shoes. They only remains was some ash and black mark that resembled an aftermath of a small bomb. He stuffed the rest of the pack deep inside his coat pocket but he ended up throwing it into the elevator's trash can.

The lanky thirty year old leaned his back against the wall once more. His eyes remained closed as he murmured a small Buddhist mantra. There were no more voices around him just the continuous hum of the elevator. Suddenly the the elevator gave a high pitched ding and the doors slid open smoothly to reveal a woman in her late 20's. The woman had dark voluminous red hair that was reminiscent of vintage hairstyles in movies like Casablanca. Her skimpy forest green dress hugged every part of her body and didn't leave much to the imagination. She looked absolutely ecstatic when she saw the Gorillaz ex-front man. 2D picked up his leg once more and gave the same button a kick. The sultry woman slid into the elevator gracefully before the door could even begin to close.

"Oh my Gawd! 2D It's been too long!"

The red haired woman wrapped her toned arms around the blue haired singer. 2D's body stiffened as a reaction to this unwelcome reunion. He stuffed his hands into the pockets of his designer jeans and formed them into two rigid fists.

"Oh come on 2D Baby!" the woman whined seductively, "Y'know who I am don't you?" She crept closer to the angst filled filled singer turned model and attempted to kiss his soft delicate neck.

2D pushed the harpy away and stared at her with his eyes full of resentment and betrayal.

"Git the Fok away from me Paula, I don' wanna deal with chu," he stuffed his hands in his pocket once more into tight fists.

"Oooh! 2D!" she eyed coyly "Lookat you! So strong and and dominating. I love it."

"Not now and never again Paula." The blue haired man didn't even want to look at her. He didn't even want to be in th same country as her let alone in an empty elevator.

"Oh come one 2D!" Paula pouted slightly. "Can't you even make small talk with me?"

What floor was the elevator on? 13. God this was gonna be a long ride, he might as well humor her and subject himself to this woman's whims.

"Yer hair was black" he spat out quietly.

"Oh yeah" she giggled and gave her hair a quick flip. "It was for this guy I was seeing. If you like it black I would-"

"NOT interested." a low growl came form his lips.

"What about all the memories we had?"

"Oh like the time yew were fokin Murdoc on the toilet?" Nobody would have expected 2D to use sarcasm and actually make sense. That is what caused Paul to take a step back after what she just heard. She gathered back her composure and continued to try and break 2D's invisible barrier.

"So," she said curtly. "Whatever happened to the girl from before hm? The really mousy one with the glasses."

A pang shot across his heart in an instant, but he continued to keep up his charade.

Paula continued on

"Honestly You could have any girl in the world," she laughed "like well me! And you chose that? Are you really that stupid? It was soooo obvious when I first saw her that she couldn't keep up with your jet setter rocker life style. She's a totally week girl, It's pathetic!" The Gorillaz Ex guitarist laughed again like banshee who had found a soul to steal. 2D ferociously pushed Paula against the buttons of the elevator with a loud CLACK! He threw his palms quickly on each side of Paula's head. The fuming singer leaned closer to his ex girlfriend to the point where there noses nearly touched. His dark craters he had for eyes transformed themselves into pits of anger and despair. Paula found herself falling deeper and deeper; the deeper she fell the more scared she became.

"Yew don't even know bitch."2D said sharply. His voice continued to rise bit by bit. "Don't ever talk crap bout 'er! ' Cos yew will never even come close to being ΒΌ of the woman she is!"

The elevator stopped on the 28th floor and the doors slid open once more. 2D grabbed the temptress by her tiny wrists and threw her outside into the empty hallway.

Paula shrieked while this occurred. Her brown eyes gazed at her ex boyfriend is shear disbelief. No words came out of her mouth, just guttural sounds that 2D responded with a condescending glance.

"Believe it," The elevator's door slid shut and he was alone once again.

Would Paula go to the Press? PSH! 2D wouldn't give a damn if she did. Besides her pride probably wouldn't allow her to admit that the "weakling" 2D had the ability to over power her. The elevator dinged for the final time and opened its doors to the 35th floor. The blue haired man trudged down the hall until he reached his place.2D grabbed his keys and exhaled a long shaky breath. His hand trembled as his keys shortened the distance from itself and the lock. It seemed like an eternity by the time he unlocked the door.

"Yew can do this man, yew can do this." he repeated this small chant as he walked through the door. He took in another long breath and closed the mahogany door behind him. It's been months since he was last in here and the penthouse looked exactly how he left it all those weeks ago. Dust piled up everywhere from the various Knickknacks he collected over the years and the photographs that sprawled themselves out sporadically around the living room..

"Gawd I gotta git this placed cleaned up!"

2D took two large steps and slipped on some kind of cloth that was left on the floor.

"ow! Wot the fok was-" he hesitated when he saw what he slipped on.

The culprit was a white Tokidoki hoodie with teal tassels. He stared at the jacket and cradled it like it was an infant. 2D pressed his face closer to the jacket and took in a deep breath. Even after all this time it smelled the same.

It smelled like her.

The comforting smell of Costa Rican shade grown coffee intertwined with the the light fragrance of her sweet perfume.

He hung his head low and mumbled something inaudible under his breath. His eyes began to well up slightly around the corners as he looked at the jacket once more.

2 Month, 2 Weeks, and 2 Days.


Who's this girl 2D is obsessing over? What happened to her? Does it have anything to do with why he wasn't in his penthouse for weeks?

Stay tuned for the next instalment

Chapter 4: Face To Face.

It's a little bit more lighter

Sorry guys was that too long? Yeah I know 2D is cursing a lot, and seems totally out of character. My couin pointed out to me that he seems to be acting more like Murdoc (and she's not even a Die hard fan of Gorillaz!)

anyway, winter break is coming to an end to the updates will become less frequent. Sorry!

After i finished chapter three i began planning out the next three chapters (yes, its gonna get that long, if not longer) until i got a road block.

So how did i fix it? Anywayz I love Russ, he's hardcore, but I Didn't know how to get a chapter to be told from his perspective on the events that was occuring. If you've been payin attention you'd know he was in New York while everyone else is in London. So he will still be participating via webcam and flashbacks, but the idea of getting him his own chapter is up in the air.

So what can you expect for the chapters coming up? Let's just say these are some of the potential artists that may appear in the near future.

Gorillaz

Daft Punk

Blondie

Paramore

Ayumi Hamsaki

Olivia Lufkin

Linkin Park

Prozzak

Yuna Ito

Relient K

Lighthouse Family

Bonnie Tyler

So yeah there ya go! ^_^ So I hope uhh you like this chapter, and i hope you continue to support me. Thank you soo much!
