Beaten And Bruised

Chapter 14

(2-D's POV)
2 months later

   We have officially started touring. We are only touring in the US, the last tour date will be somewhere in Texas and that's the one I'm most excited for. But mostly nervous.

   Murdoc held my hand all the way to our first show in Seattle Washington. He was trying to calm my nerves. We had one band opening up for us, I can't quite remember the name at the moment.

   While the opening band, We Are Wolves,  took the stage I grabbed my banjo and strummed a few chords. Murdoc hates it, he calls it my hillbilly instrument. I like the way it sounds though, it calms my nerves. Soon enough, that band was off the stage and it was our turn to take the stage.

   I went on first, then Russ, then Noodle, and last but certainly not least, Murdoc. The crowd cheered so loud for us. I missed this so much.

   We opened up with Feel Good Inc., a good classic. Then we went straight to the plastic beach album. Starting with the orchestral intro.

   Once we got to On Melancholy Hill the fans went wild. Noodle put on her mask and played guitar like that through the whole song. Murdoc put on his hat that he wore in the video and I saw all of the happy faces of our fans. Some were crying tears of happiness while others were screaming the lyrics at the top of their lungs.

   As fast as it started, it was over and we got off the stage.

   We went back to our dressing rooms but they wanted an encore. We heard them yelling and they wouldn't stop. I told the tour manager to play the beginning of Clint Eastwood and I walked back on stage with all the lights off so they couldn't see me. And soon they heard the song play and they got even louder if possible. "Ooh ooh ooh ooh." I sang into the microphone and they screamed. Everyone came back on the stage and I started singing.

   "I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad. Ive got sunshine, in a bag. I'm useless but not for long. The future is coming on."

   Soon, Del came out of Russel's ear and started his rap.

   "Finally someone let me out if my cage!"

   The fans sang along with him and I until the song was over. Everyone cheered and soon the song was over. We walked back off after giving them a thank you and they left as soon as we did.

We got back on our tour bus and got food. We all got burgers, fries and drinks, Noodle and I also got ice cream.

We ate our food and watched tv. We let Noodle put it on one of her shows and we all watched it.

   After an hour or so, it was 2 am and we were all tired. The bus came with bunks so Noodle got the bunk on top of Russel and I got the bunk in too of Murdoc. This would be the first time we slept without each other in months.

When we woke up we went to an iHop and got pancakes. We saw a few fans and got pictures with them. They didn't notice me and Murdoc holding hands, luckily. If they did they didn't bring it up at least.

We finished our pancakes and headed to our bus again. We are doing one show then having the next day off then another show then another day off and so on and so on.

Today we all went to the mall and looked around for a few hours. I got some new clothes, Murdoc got a new pair of sneakers, Noodle got some new shirts and Russel got a new hat. Soon we went back to our bus and Noodle and Russel were going to get food. Me and Murdoc told them to bring us back some and then they left.

Me and Murdoc didn't waste a lot of time before he was on top of me. "Mudz, not while we are on tour." I say, pushing him off me with a laugh. "It's hard for me to stay away from you, Bluebird." He said, kissing me cheek. I smiled. "I've noticed." I said with a laugh.

"Want to go out and smoke?" He asks, changing the subject. I nod. Neither of us have smoked in a while. We walked out of the tour bus and he pulled out two cigarettes. He lit his then mine.

   We sat outside the bus and smoked for s long while, talking about nothing in specific. Laughing at stupid jokes and getting fake anger when someone would make a bad pun.

   When we finished our cigarettes, Russel and Noodle walked up. They had one huge bag carrying multiple smaller bags and a drink carrier.  We helped them get everything into the tour bus and  then we started munching.

   We all got burgers and fries. Murdoc and Russel got Cokes while me and Noodle got Milkshakes.

   Soon we finished our food and went to bed.  I got into my bunk, it was comfortable, I like sleeping with Murdoc better but I won't complain. This is comfortable too.

   We were all thrown out of bed in the middle of the night, quite literally as we felt something crash into the side of the tour bus. Murdoc ran to me before anyone else to make sure I was okay. I nodded quickly, I was fine, my arm hurt like hell though, I can't move it. I just wanted him to make sure Noodle was okay. She is the precious member of the group, I don't want her hurt.

   I heard police sirens and an ambulance outside. I couldn't move. I was in shock. Murdoc ran up to me again, we were all going to the hospital to get checked. "Stu, lets go, come on." It was obvious he was okay, besides a few cuts from being thrown out of the bunk he was in.

   I stood up, my arm still hurting, it was bleeding a lot. He lifted me up when he saw that I was hurt and made sure I got into the ambulance okay. Then I saw Russel carrying Noodle who seemed okay, besides a few cuts, just like Murdoc.

   They got me and Murdoc in one ambulance and Russel and Noodle in another. I'm guessing I was the only hurt one.

   We got to the hospital and we're informed that the man who hit us was a drunk driver and was in critical condition. I didn't exactly feel bad that he was in critical condition, unless you want to get into the hospital, don't drive drunk. Unless you're Murdoc. Not that he should, he just never listens when we tell him not to.

   We spent the night in the hospital and I had broken my arm. Everyone else was fine, I had to wear a cast and stay in the hospital for a few more days. No matter what happens I'm not cancelling tour.

We will just alert our fans on twitter and every other social media. Of course when paparazzi found out that we were in the hospital they started going into our room and recording me with my broken arm.

"What happened?" "Well we-" "Are you going to cancel your tour because of what's happened?" "N-no we just-" "Will you bloody paparazzi folks just Sod Off?!" Murdoc yelled, causing all of them to stop talking. "We got in a car accident and 2-D broke his arm. We are just postponing the tour until he gets out of the hospital. Now, get out of here before you give him a panic attack!" After he said that, all of them left.

"Are you alright, Stu?" He asked. "Yeah I'm fine, they just crowded me." I replied.

   "In a few days, we'll be back in tour and maybe some fans could sign your cast." Murdoc says, trying to make some good out of the situation. I nod, yawning. "Get some sleep, baby boy." Murdoc says, kissing my forehead, then my lips, heading to a small area with a couch. "You sleeping here tonight?" I ask, feeling my eyes get heavy. "Yeah, I'm not leaving you." He says tiredly.

   "Goodnight Toochie." Noodle says, kissing my cheek, I smile at her and ruffle her hair. "Night D." Russel says, ruffling my hair and walking behind Noodle to go back to the tour bus.

   This was an unexpected turn, but everything happens for a reason, right?
