The song had a simple message: Don't go over the edge, you'll make a big mistake. That much was painfully clear. The reason for the song was obvious too. It tore the bluenette apart to think of what was going through his little luv's mind as she wrote the lyrics to this one. It was his fault she was sad in the first place. The song was called Demon Days, for cryin' out loud! Noodle didn't want 2D to get lost in heaven...well, again.

It was hard to come to terms with that. That there really could be something worth living for. That it would be a big mistake to want to die because there is no way of coming back once you're gone.

2D read through the lyrics over and over again, each word striking a chord with him that shook him violently.

"So, do you like the song?" 2D was ripped away from his thoughts when Noodle entered his room.

"Yup, it's great, luv." He forced a smiled that Noodle didn't buy. She sat down on the bed next to him and put a hand on his knee. She waited patiently, knowing sooner or later, 2D would have to say something to break the silence, "So, um...wha's it 'bout?"

"It is about almost losing a friend." Noodle answered simply.

"I's 'bout me, ain' it?"

"Yup."

2D paused for a moment, but Noodle went right on talking.

"You are making a big mistake on wanting to die...it was luck that you even came back last time!" Noodle's voice grew a little higher. 2D remained quiet, so the girl continued, "Why are you even doing this!? You act like you are okay, but you are not! 2D, what happened to the happy, sweet, blue haired, crazy best friend I used to have!?"

"He's 'ere."

"No, he is not!"

"Noodle, I'm here..."

This time, Noodle said nothing. 2D looked up, but soon regretted it.

She was crying.

"T-Toochi-san, promise..." She couldn't bring herself to finish her sentence. The front man pulled the girl into a tight hug.

"Promise you won't get lost in heaven ever again." Noodle finally managed to say.

"I promise, luv."

"Guys, are we gonna record or what?" Russel's concerned face appeared in the door way.

"Yeah."

"Yes, we are coming Russel-san."

That night, 2D promised to not get lost in heaven, but Noodle forgot to promise not to get lost in hell.

A/N: there was supposed to be an author's note in the last chapter. The aftermath of 2D's attempted suicide is based off of my own suicide attempt. I stopped myself before anything bad happened anyway, but it did take an emotional toll on me. My sister said it was all an accident probably. Exactly how Murdoc put 2D's attempt. So yeah, here is the author not from the previous chapter.
