Ch. 7 Pillows and fluff
2D tried pulling his bleeding arm and wrist back in, but in his anger and frustration, he found that he couldn't do this task. He jerked it around, cutting it even more. Paula came out of the shadows and grabbed 2D's flailing wrist and told him to shush. She gently slid his wrist out from the hole in the window, and cradled him like a child, in her lap. His wrist was bleeding allover her blue shirt, but she didn't care, she was just happy to have him in her arms.
"It's okay 2D, I'm here." Paula whispered, trying to comfort him. "Shush, I'm here baby." She gave him a big squeeze and stroked his blue hair. "It's okay. Calm down" she brushed 2D's hair away from his red tearstained cheeks and kissed them. The Feel Good Inc. crowd stared at the two former lovers. Paula looked up from her sobbing ex and glared at the crowd. "What are you lot looking at?" she screeched. "Go back to your talking and drinking, there's nothing to see." Paula turned her attention away from the crowd, who were still silent. The only sound that filled the tower room was the sound of 2D's melancholy sobs. Paula just held him tight in her arms, rocking them both back and forth. After a little while his sobs increased and he reached out and hugged his arms around her waist, staining her blue shirt with the blood from his hand. He hugged her tight for the longest time and continued to cry, just like a little child going to his mother. Paula squeezed him again and didn't let go of him, never wanting to let him go again. She really regretted what had happened and was truly sorry. 2D could see that and hugged her tighter.
Murdoc had seen out the window. He too, had seen the island shot. He too knew someone was on it and they died. The only thing he didn't know was that it was their missing band mate, Noodle.
"Two-dents, was that-?" he asked, not sure of what to say. "Was it…her?" 2D looked up and could sense the worry on Murdoc's face. He nodded and Murdoc fell back on the wall of the stage. "No, no, no, no, no…not her…..no." Murdoc said to the ceiling. He put his bass down and got up. He trudged over to Russel and whispered in Russel's ear what the whole tower had just witnessed.
"No, not Noodle girl?" Russel asked in total shock and disbelief. Murdoc nodded and Russel leaned forward onto his drums. "No way, man." Russel muttered.
Paula was still clinging to 2D and he was still hugging her. 2D was crying so hard that he was shaking. "P-Paula, hold me." 2D whispered now in a shaky voice. He had stopped crying now, because he couldn't cry anymore. Paula petted his head and kissed his cheek again.
"I am holding you 2D" she said giving him another squeeze. She looked down at his face. She looked in his beautifully blackened eyes. Paula began to lose herself in 2D's beautiful facial features. She pulled him up slightly from the fetal position and began to rub his back, continuing her attempt to calm him. He looked up and gave her a nervous blank stare.
"Can I kiss you?" 2D asked. Paula jumped back, very surprised at what he had just asked. Not hearing any reply he lowered his head and tried to cry again, but found himself very dehydrated, and couldn't make any tears. He looked back up at Paula. She hadn't changed expression much at all. She noticed that he looked up at her again and nodded.
"Go ahead" she said puckering her lips. 2D moved his mouth forward and touched his lips to hers. He pulled himself up from his slumped position and placed his hand on the back of her neck. He pulled her closer. She took her arms from around his waist, and put them around his neck. They stayed that way for ages. She closed her eyes tight and pressed her lips closer to his. After what seemed like an eternity, they broke apart. Paula gasped for breath. 2D breathed heavy and started to lean back. He was weak from little sleep and dehydration. His body slipped out of Paula's shaky arms, and fell on the floor. "STUART!" Paula screamed.
"What the hell was that?"
A/N: Are you all shocked? Freaked? Ok, do you all know Paula's story? Well, I'll be glad to tell you. (you all sit and chant 'story time' and it scares the hell out of me…) ok well she was 2D's GF, right? Well she was caught cheating on him with Murdoc in the loo…. Not a pleasant scene, I assure you. Well, I'm deathly afraid of Paula-killaz, so don't shoot, I'm among you. I HATE her too, she is a skank, but in my story, I thought she deserved to look innocent for once, and I cursed myself for doing it too. I know that Murdoc has a heart here, sorry, really OC, I know.
