It was Friday now and Stuart was at lunch with Clyde and Tyler. Tony was late as he got in trouble with their History teacher and was serving Lunch detention.
"Wait, so what did he say?" asked Stuart, laughing lightly. "Heh, he told that old crow to 'shut the fuck up otherwise she'll wake the dead', her reaction was priceless." laughed Clyde. The bluenette shook his head to drink more stashed beer when Tyler leaned over. Te black haired man was always in his space, but the bluenette has since learned to let it go.
"Hey Stu, this weekend, be ready for the next level." said Tyler. "Huh, why, what's going on?" asked Stuart. "This Saturday, the jocks are throwing another party, they invite everyone, and we all show up as it's the baddest party ever." said Tyler. "Ya, Tye-bear here thinks the party is the perfect place for you to try something better than the weed." said Clyde.
"Really, is this the LSD you mentioned?" asked Stuart. "Hell ya, trust me Stu, you'll be flying with this." said Tyler. The bluenette smiles at that and goes back to his lunch. He was still not sure if he really wanted to start doing drugs, but Tyler and the others seemed fine. Maybe he was just worrying over nothing.
"Wait a sec, Clyde, what the fuck did you call me?!" demanded Tyler. "Nothing, Tyler, nothing." said Clyde hurriedly. "After school, I'm kicking your ass." growled Tyler. Clyde curses and Stuart laughs happily at this.
A loud shattering sound echos through the cafeteria and Stuart looks over. Everyone in the cafeteria was looking for the sound but saw nothing. There was no broken glass ether. 'Weird.' thought Stuart. He goes back to talking with his friends, now excited for the party.
A few tables over in the corner, cursing was heard as the person held their bleeding hand. "Geez Murdoc, why'd you do that?" asked Eclipse.
Murdoc didn't answer, instead turning his gaze back to where Stuart was seated. His best friend was talking to a bunch of other people, people he had no idea who they were. 'But then, I wasn't really around.' thought Murdoc.
He hated not hanging out with Stuart, but every time he tried, Eclipse and the others pulled him into something cool. Late drinking, Satanic readings, scaring kids, but he used to do all that with Stuart as well.
'I haven't even been at his house in forever.' thought Murdoc. He always ended up sleeping over Eclipse's place. Murdoc misses Stuart so much, plus he has no idea who his new pals were. 'So long as they don't do anything that could hurt him.' thought Murdoc.
"Hey, are you listening?" asked Crush. "Sure, ya." said Murdoc in boredom. "You weren't, we were talking about the Jocks party tomorrow night." said Crash. "Ya, we're going to do some rituals there, maybe scare the shit out of everyone." laughed Slash.
Murdoc nods but his gaze goes back to his friend. Even though he hangs out with the Goths, why didn't Stuart come see him, why keep away? 'Miss ya Stu.' thought Murdoc.
*~* GORILLAZ *~*
Saturday night had finally arrived and Stuart was ready. He was wearing a black T-shirt with a red button shirt over it with the sleeves three fourths of the way down, jeans and his black-white converses. A loud honk is heard and Stuart grabs his cell and wallet and leaves his room, running down the stairs.
"My friends are here." said Stuart. "Alright, have fun and be safe." said David. "Remember, be home by eleven, no later." said Rachel. "Got it, mom, bye dad." said Stuart.
He leaves the house to see Tyler's car parked. He jumps into the car to see Tony smoking a fag. "Ready for your first taste of true freedom?" asked Tony. "Ya, bit nervous." admitted Stuart. "No need Stu-pot, When doing LSD, you only need one pill." said Tyler. "For beginners, after you need two like us." said Clyde.
The bluenette nods as Tyler pulls back onto the road and they're off. "So, where is the party?" asked Stuart. "At this old building downtown, so long as the music isn't too loud cops never look to it." said Tyler. Stuart nods and leans back, looking at Clyde who was eating a bag of chips.
"Are you high again?" asked Stuart. "Heh, when have I ever not been?" asked Clyde. He munches on another hand full, getting a chuckle from the bluenette.
They soon arrive at the location and get out of the car to head in. "It's in the basement." said Tyler. They followed the stairs down and soon entered the party. The lights were flashing different colors with music blasting the air. Food and booze was everywhere, including a keg. People were dancing wildly in the middle with girls wearing barely anything. There were a ton of couches with tables and people making out in corners.
"This is what high school parties are like, but more awesome." said Tony. They moved through the crowd where Stuart spotted a DJ playing with the melody. 'This guy isn't too bad, but Murdoc would show him a true beat.' thought Stuart.
The friends joined in on the dancing while Clyde went for the food. "He really is high, when did he take a blunt?" asked Stuart. "Five minutes before we left." laughed Tyler. The bluenette joins in the laugh when he's pulled away from the crowd.
Tyler leads him to a couch where Clyde and Tony are waiting. "Alright, you ready?" asked Tyler. Stuart blinks when he sees his friend pull out a small bag with white tablets. "Is that it?" asked 2D. "LSD, this will be a major trip." said Tyler.
He passes two pills to Clyde and Tony, who place the tablets on their tongues. "You let it dissolve on your tongue a bit before swallowing." said Tyler. Stuart nods as he's given one and Tyler takes his two. The bluenette stares at the tablet, his first drug. 'Why do I still feel so nervous?' thought Stuart.
Tyler sits with him to rub his back. "Want some help, Stu-pot?" asked Tyler. 'I don't know.' thought Stuart.
Across the room, Murdoc and the Goths were setting up some items to start a ritual. "This is going to fuck someone up, I just know it." laughed Slash. The Satanist shakes his head and looks away to watch the party.
There was a ton of drunk, barely clad girls that were calling his name. As he watched the crowd, some people moved and Murdoc saw blue.
'Stuart?' thought Murdoc. What was he doing here?!
He stepped away from the Goths to get a better look. That was indeed Stuart with thoe guys, but what were they doing. He then sees the black haired guy take something from the bluenette to hold it, a white pill.
From his father, Murdoc knew exactly what that was. 'Is Stu seriously doing drugs?!' thought Murdoc in shock. The guy pats Stuart's cheek and Murdoc watches as he sticks out his tongue. "Oh fuck no!" roars Murdoc.
The Goths jump at his tone and watch as he rushes through the crowd. Murdoc grabs the guy's wrist, pulling it back so he drops the pill. "Keep that shit away from him, you stoned out bitch!" yelled Murdoc.
"Murdoc, what are you doing here?!" gasped Stuart. "Apparently keeping you from doing something stupid." said Murdoc. He looks back at the guy to see his eyes widen in shock and fear. "Fuck off." spat Murdoc. He throws the guy off the couch to grab his friend's arm and drag him away.
Stuart struggles a bit before they're outside. "Murdoc, why did you do that?" asked Stuart. "I was protecting you, drugs lead to depression and will get you hooked where all you want is the drugs, it'd ruin your life, Stuart, what has gotten into you?" asked Murdoc. The bluenette looks away to see the cool night.
"I believe it's where I'm meant to be." said Stuart. "Where yo- who told you that?!" demanded Murdoc. "The Goths, they told me that in Middle school, we're no longer kids and need to find our place, you're place is with them, it's why we're not friends anymore." said Stuart sadly.
Murdoc stares in shock to quickly shake it off. "No, Stu no, we are friends, always have been and always will be, nothing will change that, you're my best friend, I would never leave you behind." said Murdoc. "But, but I thought you did, we don't hang out anymore, and whenever I try to talk to you, Crash and the others would threaten me." said Stuart.
This pissed the Satanist off, so that was why they stopped hanging out, the Goths had been sneakily keeping them apart. "Stuart, go home, I need to have a quick chat, I'll see you back at your house, I swear this time." said Murdoc.
"But, what about Tyler, Clyde and Tony, they were my ride?" asked Stuart. "There should still be cabs driving about, you can easily slap them a twenty and get home." said Murdoc.
The bluenette nods when he finds himself in a tight hug. "I'm sorry, Stuart, see you soon." said Murdoc. Stuart nods and walks down the sidewalk to look for a cab.
Once he's out of sight, Murdoc sees red and goes back inside. He was going to kill those back stabbing, manipulative phony bastards. 'No one threatens Stuart and gets away with it!' thought Murdoc angrily.
A/N: Murdoc has saved Stuart from the addiction and side effects of drugs. Now he's pissed after learning the truth, what is to happen next?! Stay tuned and plz review.
