-1Chapter 2

.:Writers note:. I think that I may have made it very obvious who is going to get together in this story so… for those of you who are dumb enough to not have noticed it by now… I won't ruin it for you… but you will find out in this chapter! Ha ha ha ha!

Roxi and 2D hadn't spent to much time at the mall. They had gotten there, looked through a few shops, 2D bought smoothies for them, then they looked through some more shops, then got stampeded by fans, so they decided to go home.

Once home, Roxi went straight back to her room. Only to be disturbed by a knock on the door a few minutes later.

So she got up, a little pissed off, and opened the door.

"'Ello love," said Murdoc "can you jus' do dis lil' job for me?"

"Sure, whatever" she said, closing her door and walking out.

"Jus' go down to da studio…" he said, pointing a thumb in the direction of the studio. "an' you'll have ta take da stairs, the elevators broken" he said, and walked of.

Roxi sighed and made her way up the stairs. Once up on the right floor, she slowly made her way to the studio.

Once there, she slowly opened the door. She seemed shocked to see all of the rest of the Gorillaz sitting in the studio. Including Murdoc.

"Happy birthday!" said Noodle as she walked in. She walked up to Roxi and handed her an envelope.

"Thanks, I mean…" Began Roxi "I didn't expect anything.. Really."

She opened the envelope, and pulled out the birthday card from inside. In it was written, in noodle's neat writing:

Dear Roxi,

Happy 19th birthday!

We all wish you the best on your special day.

Love from, Noodle 2D Murdoc and Russel.

P.S Go and look in the storage cupboard.

Roxi put down the card and headed over to the storage cupboard. When she opened it, she saw a black and white, new, bass guitar sitting there with a red ribbon tied around the top of it and a label on it which read

To: Roxi

From: Gorillaz

"Oh my god" she said, overjoyed. She had never gotten a present like this before "thank you so much"

"That's ok" said Russel.

"Anyfing for you" said 2D.

"It's our pleasure" said Noodle.

"Yeh, well, you'd betta enjoy i' ' cause i' cost a lot" said Murdoc. "Can I go now?"

"Sure" said Noodle "I've got stuff to do as well"

They all stated to walk out of the studio.

As Murdoc walked past Roxi, he said "Oh yeh, an' jus' to let ya know, da elevator isn' broken"

Later that night, as Roxi was playing on her new bass, her mobile rang.

She put down her bass and looked at her clock. It was 11:18.

"Who'd be ringing at this hour?" she said to herself.

She picked up the phone.

"Hello?" she said to whoever it was on the other end.

"Yes this is Roxanne." there was a long pause.

"Oh my god…" then she hung up and dropped her phone to the floor.

A single tear fell down her face.

2D paced around his room for what seemed like the millionth time. Ever since he had stopped taking his pills.

"Maybe some fresh air'll help" he said to himself.

So he walked out of his room and to the elevator. He pressed the button for the roof.

The doors opened and he walked up the few stairs to the roof top of Kong.

He opened the door and walked out. Once on the roof, he looked around and saw Roxi standing on the corner of the roof, her arms beside her.

She didn't notice him until he called out to her.

"Roxi!" he said from the other side of the roof.

She ignored him.

So he walked up to her and stood next to her.

"You know how…" began Roxi "You never really realized how much you'll miss something until it's really gone?"

"Um…" this wasn't really what 2D had expected to hear straight away, "Whadoya mean?"

"Like when you loose a toy, that you thought you never liked, but when it's gone, you realized that you really should have played with it more…." said Roxi, still looking out onto the grave yard that was Kong studio's front yard.

"Oh, tha's wha' you mean…" said 2D "why are you asking me dis?"

"My.. M-mum…" said Roxi, on the verge of tears "The police of Adelaide just called me to tell m-me that she's just d-died in a car c-crash…"

2D sat there, a little shocked. Then Roxi stated crying again. Not to hard though, just some tears.

"Look," said 2D "I'm really sorry"

"What for? It's not your fault that she was drink driving… once again…" said Roxi "I knew this day would come soon, I guess better sooner than later."

2D put his arms around her and held her and rocked her slightly.

"It's just not a very good birt'day present is all " he whispered in her ear.

Roxi lifted up her arms and put them around 2D. Having him here to comfort her really made her feel better.

After a little while, they pulled apart.

"Oh, I 'ave sumfing to give you" said 2D.

He put a hand in his pocket and fished out a little box and handed it to Roxi.

It looked like a normal jewellery box with little red bow around it.

She removed the bow and went to open the box.

"I's jus' a presn' from me to you" said 2D running a nervous hand trough his spiky blue hair.

She opened the box, and took out the silver pick that was inside of it. She could just barley make out the writing on there from the dim moon light. It said:

Dear Roxi,

Happy 19th

Love always from 2D

"Oh my god, thank you" she said. "It's so nice of you… to do this for me…" she was so overwhelmed that she couldn't find the right words to say. There was a large smile on her face though, and that was enough for 2D.

She looked up at the darkness in his eyes. Their faces only centimetres apart.

"2D I…" began Roxi "I really…" she was having trouble finding the right words to say, this was taking all of her courage "You've been a really good friend to me, since you found me that night in London, and I'm really starting to like you more now…"

"Me too" said 2D.

And then it happened, fireworks and all, Roxi and 2D kissed….

.:Writers note:. Well, there you go… are you happy now? They are finally together, but will it last? Find out in chapter 3! Don don don!
