Past present future
Chapter 2
Janie woke up with a head ache…
She remembered back to last night, and how she had gotten extremely pissed and then nearly knocked out Russel.
She slowly sat up and looked over to the sleeping figure beside her.
"Seems the only time he keeps his big mouth shut" she thought to herself "Is when he's asleep…"
She nudged him in the shoulder…
"Murdoc…" she whispered.
A low pitched moan came from the sleeping man.
"Murdoc… it's 11, wake up…"
Yet another moan followed by a shoulder shanking then came from the sleeping man.
Janie knew there was only one way to get him up…
"Oh my freakin' god! He's got a gun!" she shouted next to his ear.
"Arghhh!" Murdoc shouted before falling off the side off the bed and taking half of the covers with him…
Janie let out a little giggle. "That always gets you up…" She said, climbing out of the bed.
Murdoc let out a frustrated moan while rubbing his head and slowly getting up.
Janie walked over to the end of the bed and grabbed her dress and pulled it over her head.
Murdoc slowly came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her stomach.
"So hows my newly 17 year old on her first day of maturity?" he asked, pulling her close.
"A little head achy…" she said "but other than that, extremely hungry…"
Janie remember back to when she had first gotten drunk, and it hadn't been nearly half as bad as this.
Murdoc kiss her on the cheek and then let go of her.
"Yea, that's what happens in the circle of a hang over…" he said, slowly working over to the kitchen in the 'bago while rubbing his head "You want a cuppa coffee love?"
"Yea, thanks…" she said, searching for her other pink dotted converse shoe.
Once she found it, she slipped it on, and headed to the other half of the 'bago. She sat down in a purple leather chair, as Murdoc handed her the cup of coffee and sat across from her.
About half and hour pasted before they heard a knock on the door.
Murdoc got up and opened the door to see a 15 year old Asian girl standing there, tears falling down her cheeks.
"What's tha matter, noodle?" Murdoc asked.
"It's 2-2 D…" she stumered out "H-he's h-hurt…"
"Oh shit…" Murdoc mumbled. "What's wrong with him?"
"H-he over d-dosed last n-night, only…" Noodle paused.
"Only what?" Murdoc said starting to worry that something horrible had gone wrong with his singer.
"Only this t-time, it w-wasn't and ac-accident!"
Janie came running up to the door…
"Where is he now?" she asked, rushing to noodle's aid.
"H-he's down at the h-hospital, t-the one down t-the road..."
Janie grabbed noodle and Murdoc's arm and rushed to the Geep.
"Where is Russel?" asked Janie as she placed noodle in the back of the Geep.
"H-he went in the ambulance..." noodle said through sobs "H-he told me to come and tell y-you t-two."
"Ok, try calling him on his cell, tell him we are on our way..." she handed noodle her phone.

Russel was sitting in a small plastic chair out side of a room with his head in his hands...
He looked up when he heard foot steps, hoping it was a doctor, only to see that it was only Murdoc, Janie and Noodle.
"How bad is it...?" asked Murdoc, as Janie walked over to the window...
"They say...this time...he might not..." Russel paused and looked up at Murdoc, eye to eye..."Make it..."
Janie could hear noodle as she burst out into tears , but she couldn't tear her eyes away from the site in-front of her... 2-D had so many tubes coming out of him... and so many chords hooked up to thing that were keeping track of his 'Progress'. He hands began to shake as tears fell from her spring green eyes.
Her heart sank as a rush of guilt swept over her...
