Ch 2: Attempted Suicide
2D lay in his room crying himself to sleep for the 8th time that month. They didn't understand his feelings and he couldn't admit that he was going to commit suicide. And Murdoc doesn't care, he reminded himself amid a new storm of sobs. Murdoc is the one who caused this in the first place. Suddenly the door opened.
"D-nii-san?" came the teenager's voice from the doorway.
"Go away, Noods," 2D said in a chocked voice.
"D-nii-san, I heard you crying… What's wrong?"
"Nothing… you wouldn't understand…"
"Do you want me to go get Russ-san?"
"No! I mean, no… he wouldn't understand, either."
"But why are you crying?"
"I'm not."
Noodle knew that 2D was lying so she left and went to get Russel. A few minutes later Russel went in and turned the light on. He sat next to 2D on the bed.
"2D, what's up?"
"I don't want to talk about it…"
"Come on, I won't tell anyone. I promise."
2D looked up from his pillow. His face was tear stained and it was obvious he had been crying. "I… Well… M'life has been ruined and it's all b'cause of Murdoc. He earned me m'nickname, 'two dents', and then he broke m'heart, and now he hurts me every day of m'life. I'm tired of it. I'm going t'kill m'self right here and now. There's no other way t'get away from it." Before Russel could stop him he grabbed a very sharp knife from his bedside table and poised it over his throat. Just as he started to bring it down on himself Russel grabbed the knife from 2D's hand.
"Come on, 2D, it can't be that bad," Russel said.
"See! I knew you wouldn't understand."
"I do understand, 2D! Come on, I think we need to get you help…"
Reluctandtly, 2D followed Russel out of his room. First place they went was the car park.
