Murdoc, 2d, and Russel stood outside of Noodle's room while Gwen was in there comforting the guitarist. It had been about an hour and they could still hear the sound of Noodle's crying. The door to Noodle's room finally opened and Gwen came out.
"How is she?" Russel asked.
"She's still very upset." Gwen said. "She won't talk, just continues to cry."
"Poor thing." 2d said with his head down. "I've never seen her this upset."
"Why don't you three go in and try to talk to her?" Gwen advised. "She won't speak to me."
2d, Russel, and Murdoc each nodded their head. Gwen opened the door a bit and the three men entered Noodle's room.
"Thanks for being there for Noodle." 2d told Gwen before entering Noodle's room. "You were always like her big sister."
Gwen smiled at the singer and then gave him a peck on the cheek. "She needs her brothers more though."
2d started blushing and smiling. He touched his cheek where Gwen kissed him as he went inside Noodle's room.

"Noodle?" Russel said as he, Murdoc, and 2d came into Noodle's room.
Noodle laid on her bed with her face covered by a pillow. The three males could hear her muffled sobs.
"Leave me alone." Noodle said through the pillow.
"We just want to talk to you Noodle." 2d said.
Noodle took the pillow away from her face and looked at her bandmates. Her face was covered in tears. "What is there to talk about? You guys were right, Johnny was using me and didn't really care about me. Is that what you guys came to tell me?"
"Come on Noodle, we don't want to see you like this." Murdoc said.
"Let me guess, you're going to tell me he wasn't good enough for me, there's other guys, I'm a catch and will find someone better? I don't want any of that bull right now. Why can't you guys just tell me you told me so and just leave me alone?"
2d came towards Noodle's bed and put his hand on Noodle's shoulder.
"Noodle, we didn't want to be right about Johnny but sadly we were. We could say that this won't happen again but only time and fate could tell you that, not us."
"I feel real stupid for falling for Johnny." Noodle stated as new tears came out of her eyes. "I should've listened to you three."
"You're anything but stupid baby girl." Russel said. "You're a teenager, teens are known to fall in love very easily."
"Johnny was the stupid one." Murdoc added. "He didn't want what was really important. He didn't realize what a sensitive and loving girl you could be Noodle."
"You really think that Murdoc?" Noodle asked. This was probably the first time someone has seen Murdoc actually care.
"Of course I do love. I didn't want to see you get hurt and neither did 2d and Russel. You have a very gentle heart."
"We should've told you the truth about Johnny the minute we found out." Russel stated.
"It's all right, I probably wouldn't have believed you all if you did." Noodle pointed out. "At least you told me before anything worse happened."
"Well, I'm just glad we took care of Johnny." Murdoc smiled deviously.
"What did you do?" Noodle asked.
"Let's just say, Johnny is at the hospital and probably won't be out for a while." 2d stated smiling.
"We didn't like the way he was hurting you." Russel explained. "So we showed him how if felt being hurt so much."
"I broke his nose." Murdoc stated proudly.
"Was there blood?" Noodle asked.
"Just a bit." 2d said.
"A bit?" Noodle asked disappointed "Come on, that guy was using me, it should've been a total bloodfest."
"Aww, that's my girl." Murdoc said as he ruffled Noodle's hair. "I taught her well."
"I don't think that's something to be proud of." Russel stated.
Noodle laughed lightly and smiled at her bandmates.
"I'm so happy that I have brothers like you. I love you guys."
"We love you too Noodle." 2d said.
