        It had be a horrible year for the whole band. Though it seemed to hit murdoc the hardest. Despite at first being happy and excited to make demon days.... The stress of getting the album out on its release date...was overwhelming the depressed bassist. Obsidian certainly wasn't helping as he was causing Murdoc to have explosions of pure rage over the tiniest things at this point. He literally snapped at his own niece earlier just because she messed up once during a recording....he felt horrible. Even if he knew that noodle would forgive him...he couldn't forgive himself for lashing out on someone who....he has helped the others raise since she was a little girl.

Murdoc had locked himself up in the dark and quiet recording studio. He was on the stage chugging a bottle of vodka like it was water. He had the old box of photos next to his side...silently flipping through photos as tears went down his face...he needed a break from reality...from the overwhelming and depressing reality. He would look at the photos....of his friends, mother, and his childhood....he would pause on one photo....a sharp breath of aching going through his lungs. It was a seemingly normal photo of murdoc ... .in his early 20s...he was with Wade and gambit...it seemed to be a ... going away party...murdoc felt even more tears go down his face...the last time the group of best friends were together fully. He feared what wade and gambit would think of him in such a horrible state of mind. 

   Meanwhile outside the recording studio noodle was in her room. She was still in a state of shock from hearing her uncle snap at her. Sure she knew that her uncle was stressed and had a temper recently ... .but...he had never actually snapped at any of the band over something so simple...especially at noodle. Noodle wasn't angry or scared of her uncle...she was just...concerned for him...what truly caused him to snap? Noodle would glance at her door ... .sighing as she got up from her bed wanting to go check on her uncle.

Noodle at first would check her uncle's bedroom assuming he would have hidden himself in there. She would knock on the door calling out. " Uncle murdoc? Are you in there? I want to talk. " After waiting a couple minutes it worried noodle greatly to not get an answer ...despite knowing that her uncle did not like people randomly barging into his room...she didn't want to know that something was wrong with him and she couldn't help him since she didn't walk in. she would quickly click the door open and let herself in, glancing around....he wasn't here....now noodle's worries where even worse....did murdoc go drive to a bar....he shouldn't be on the road wasted....noodle was quick to run downstairs feeling genuine panic silently set into her mind. 

    Noodle after running the fastest her legs will allow she made it to the garage. She would quickly walk in checking on the cars...none of them were missing ... .noodle would quickly glance over to the graveyard ... .looking for her uncle's very noticeable green complexion in the mix of the dead grass and gray tombstones. He wasn't out here. Noodle only knew...one more place that her uncle would hide himself in....she makes her way back into the house now knowing where her uncle was.

Noodle would make her way to the recording studio door ... .before she could even open the door she could hear...noticeable sobbing....and muffled but noticeable yelling. " I'VE LET YOU ALL DOWN....I'VE LET EVERYONE DOWN! " Noodle felt her soul swell into her throat...hearing her uncle mentally tearing himself down...she would quietly open the studio door not wanting to disturb her uncle but also wanting to at least see him.

Murdoc had fully mentally broken down ... ... ..knowing that if everyone who loved and cared for him in the past...could see him now...that...they would probably see him as ... .someone who...is slowly becoming the person who he refused to become ... .his own father. Treating his own family like shit over...the pettiest things...getting mad for no reason...and just...pushing everyone away. Murdoc covered his face with his sweater as he let all his tears out. He whimpers out not noticing noodle at all watching him from the doorway. " i'm so fucking sorry everyone.....i've become...a bloody horrible person...and family member. "
