Broken: a Sequel

Chapter 8: Murdoc's POV

    Russel, Noodle, and I had gone back to Kong. We didn't have any shows for a couple weeks. We had to figure out how to get Stu back without the police or press getting involved. I had committed a few crimes and gotten away from the cops. I'd definitely go to prison.
    "Mudz. I found this letter addressed to you at the door," Noodle gingerly handed me the crisp envelope and skipped away. I sighed and took a sip of the hot black coffee Russel had gotten for me. Russel and I had our arguments from time to time but at the end of the day, we all loved each other.
    I tore the envelope open and unfolded the letter.
    "What's it say, Mudz?" Russel asked as he sat across from me at the dining room table. I read it allowed. My voice getting weaker and weaker with each sentence.
    "Dear Murdoc,
          I'm leaving you. I've realized Paula is who I want. Guess I'm not gay after all. You were just my fucked up science experiment in a way. The night in the hotel was just so I could make my decision. You really do treat me like shit and I can't be with you anymore. I'm sure you'll find a new lead singer to beat the shit out of. Or you could just kidnap one. Anyway, I hope you didn't actually love me because that'd be just sad. Then again, you're Murdoc Niccals. You don't have any feelings. No wonder nobody is in your life. You push everyone away and you have a shitty personality. Maybe you'll learn from this~Stu"
    I felt my whole body shaking. I began to sob violently. I crumpled up the letter and threw it. I let myself fall to the floor. I screamed as loud as I could. I've never been in this much pain. I pulled out my pocket knife. I didn't know what I was going to do with it but I knew it wasn't going to be good.
    I just about had the knife to my throat when Russel grabbed ahold of my arms and pinned me down. I was still screaming psychotically. I was hissing and writhing like a damn animal. I had lost all control. I heard footsteps.
    "Noodle go back to your room! You could get hurt!" Russel yelled, not wanting her to see me this way. I heard her running towards us. "NOODLE WHAT DID I SAY?" Russel hollered. I felt the blade leave my hand and I quickly lost consciousness.
    My eyes popped wide open and I sat up frantically. Noodle and Russel were staring at me with anxious eyes.
    "What happened?" I asked, looking back and forth between the two of them.
    "Mudz, you had a little episode and uh, Noodle took your knife and knocked you out by pinching one of your pressure points. She sorta saved both of us," Russel gave me a reassuring smile.
    "Sorta? If it weren't for me, ya both woulda been dead years ago," she smirked and crossed her arms.
    "Thank you, Noodle," I said sincerely. She seemed touched at my sentiment. She smiled and nodded then went to her room.
    "Mudz, you should get some rest, my man. I'll make you some tea and you should just chill," Russel smiled and helped me off the floor. I laid on the couch and watched Courage the Cowardly Dog to get my mind off of everything. Yeah, it was a cartoon but it made me happy. I slowly drifted off to sleep while waiting for my tea.
