Chappie 11

I laid sobbing on 2D's bed watching a film. I had shut the curtains so it was pitch black apart from the computer light. I had been wondering where he was but I couldn't be bothered to look for him because, why should I? It was my birthday!

My eyes widened and then I braced myself for the scene where Bambi's mother is shot. I heard the bang and plunged into tears, grabbing another handful of tissues from the second tissue box. It emptied so I threw it behind me and got another one.

"Ow!" I heard someone shout. I glanced 'round. The box had hit 2D and he was rubbing his head "Watch ya throw 'vat fer?" I didn't answer, I concentrated on the film. I felt his shadow over me as he bent down "What film is 'vis?"

"Bambi." I stuttered.

"Huh?"

I sighed in frustration and paused the movie "You know, Bambi? The wee lil' deer?"

"Oh yeah. I f'ink I rememba'. 'is mum gets shot, right?"

I sniffed.

"Why are ya cryin'?"

I sat up "Why shouldn't I? It's a sad movie. Don't you feel anything when you hear that gun shot? And when Bambi goes searching for his mum?"

"No. I dun' felt anyf'ink."

I knew 2D was never the guy to let his emotions show.

"Funny f'ing though. When da mum died, Murdoc was da only one who laughed while poor lil' Noods was cryin' and Russ was in da kitchen."

"I ain't surprised."

We were silent for a second until 2D remembered what he came to ask me "Hey, I was gonna ask if ya wanted to come out wiv' all a us. We wanna go some where fer ya birf'day."

I hesitated. I never liked going outside on my birthday but I needed to get out anyway "Sure, I'd be thrilled to come. When do we leave?"

"In 'alf a hour."

"I need more time then that to get ready! I need to brush my hair, brush my teeth and braces at least seven times, choose between two hot mini-skirts, put one on, and then tear it up because it won't be hot enough. Make my self some chocolate milk and add plenty of sugar then throw it out since it still won't be sweet enough! Then I gotta-"

"Ya not goin' out on a date ya know!" 2D interrupted.

I scratched my head nervously "Still, I always want to look my best…" I murmured.

2D smiled "We ain't goin' anywhere special, awright?"

"O.K… But still!"

He sighed and started fiddling with his phone as I continued babbling on.

Oh! Short chapter? Hmmm… What could this mean? Pff, beats me! REVIEW!
