Chapter 4 Rockit
"No fuckin way!" I said turning and walking away from them. I couldn't believe it. seriously? This fuckin guy is my father?...the one who left my mom and I when I was a little kid...the one who only showed up to get laid, and play a little bass from time to time. My mother had always had a soft spot for the man, I guess that's why she always let him come back even if it was for a few hours each time. "No No No, I'm not walking away..." I mumbled to myself as I turned back walking up to the man. He gave me a huge grin and that really pissed me off. "Who do you think you are huh? You left me, you left us." I yelled pushing him back in to the winne. He looked at me in disbelief as I again turned from him picking up an empty rum bottle, whipping it at his head. He ducked as it shattered behind him, I didn't look back after that I headed straight for my room.
I grabbed my bag, repacking it when I heard my door open then close quickly. I didn't bother turning to see who it was. I really didn't care at this point.
"Look I know muds is an asshole but I really think you should stay." I hear Russel say from behind me.
"Why would I stay, whats the point? So I can get to know my father?"
"Yeah actually. There is a lot you two can learn from each other."
"Oh yeah sure cause he was so eager to be a father. What makes you think he would care now?"
"I fink you shou' stay too" I heard 2D say. A small smile crossed my face when I heard him say that he too wanted me to be there.
"UGHHH seriously" I groaned as I let myself fall on to my bed. "Fine I'll stay but that doesn't mean I'm going to be all buddy buddy with him" I said feeling a bit defeated.
"No one is asking you to love the man and call him daddy...but at least give it a chance" Russel said leaving the room.
2D stayed and that made me smile a bit more.
"Why should I stay?" I asked 2D as he sat on the bed next to me.
"I fink it will be good fer the both of ya"
"Ive made it just fine without him."
"It wou' be nice ta see a fresh face round 'ere too, a pretty one at that"
I smiled at that one, Him and Noodle were probably the only reasons I was staying. I really didn't know 2D but I mean how could I resist that amazingly cute face. I wanted nothing to do with Murdoc. Noodle was my only friend, and I felt really bad that she was the only girl around here. I didn't want to bail on her.
"What if he doesn't want me around?"
"It dont ma'er wha' he wan's as long as Noodle wan's ya 'ere he will let ya stay, n I know Nood wou'n bring ya if she didn' wan' ya ta stay...come, I wanna show ya somfink." He said grabbing my arm dragging me out the door behind me.
He took me up stairs to there studio. There was tons of recording equipment, and every instrument you could imagine.
"Wow" I said looking around the room.
"Nood tol' me you played" He said sitting down in one of the swivel chairs, rocking himself back and forth in it.
"Yeah bass" I told him as I headed straight for the red flying v sitting on the stand in the corner.
"Thas Murdocs" He said watching me pick it up plucking a quick tune.
I hooked it up to the huge amp turning it on, plucking another tune.
"You know any of our songs?" I heard Russel say as he took his seat behind the drum set.
"Yeah a few." I told him
He started playing a beat that I actually knew. After waiting for his drum part, I joined in plucking the bass riff from there song Rockit. 2D watched as Russel and I played, he was still swiveling around in the chair but a big smile now occupied his face.
"Not half bad" I hear Murdoc say from the door way. He was learning against the wall watching the whole time. I rolled my eyes at him ignoring him as I started to play another song this time mastering his song Double Bass. 2D played his keyboard along with me, putting in his small parts of the song.
"Kids got talent" I heard Murdoc say to Noodle, Noodle shaking her head in agreement.
"Kid? I'm damn near 26!" I thought to myself as 2D and I continued playing while the others watched.
"I fink she may be be'er than you" 2D said to Murdoc quickly ducking as a full beer can flew towards his head.
I put the bass down after that, looking at my watch. "Wow...midnight already?" I said to myself.
"Well...who wan's ta watch Napoleon" 2D asked standing up from his swivel chair.
Murdoc turned leaving the room quickly. "I'm going to bed" Noodle said following after Murdoc. "Napoleon again?...no thanks" Russel said also leaving the room. 2D turned looking at me with a hopeful grin.
"What? Napoleon Dynamite?" I asked
"Yeah"
"Sure I love that movie" I said following him out in to the hallway, heading down to his room.
I sat on his bed as he put the movie in to the DVD player. He sat next to me, a lot closer then I expected. I repositioned my self on his bed getting a little more comfortable against the wall, 2D also following doing the same sitting a little bit closer then he had a few moments ago. He looked at me smiling as he pretended to yawn stretching out his arms over his head repositioning one around my shoulders.
"Smooth moves" I thought to myself giggling a little as we watched the movie.
Not even a minute passed when I suddenly heard 2Ds door slam open against the wall as Murdoc kicked it in.
"What the fuck?" I said sitting up looking at the door hanging on one hinge. Murdoc quickly walked towards us grabbing me by the arm pulling me from the bed.
"What the hell is wrong with you" I screamed at him struggling to get out of his grip.
"Not with face ache" He huffed pulling me out in to the hall way. I pulled my arm away from him, pushing him backwards in to the wall.
"What are you talking about we were watching a movie. What the hell is this anyways, don't bust in here acting like you give a shit about me all of the sudden." I screamed at him as I walked away down the hall to my room. I stopped at my door turning back walking swiftly towards him again, pushing him back once more
"Don't you think you can just show up ordering me around when ever you want. I'm not a kid, blood or not I will never look at you as my father. I fuckin hate you!" I screamed again while 2D watched from his door way, a slight smile on his face from watching someone finally stand up to Murdoc.
"You know what?" I said walking over to 2D stopping in front of him looking up at him. "You are so freakin cute" I told him as I grabbed his face giving him a small peck on his lips. He stood there shocked waiting for a reaction from Murdoc that never came. I turned away from both of them a huge smile on my face hoping I had gotten the message to Murdoc that I was not going to be taking any of his bullshit. I walked back to my room slamming the door behind me.
