Chance... Probably. (Gorillaz 2D x Reader)

Chapter Thirty- Aftermath

(A/N: Okay I saved a baby sparrow that fell out of its nest yesterday. I swear I'm still a wholesome human despite the last chapter...

Also I started a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy oneshot book if anyone is interested.)

(2D's POV)

I woke up slowly, confused as to why I was on the floor- and why did my whole body hurt...?

It took me a few moments until I remembered last night. Paula. (Y/N) seeing us. Murdoc beating the hell out of me. So that's why I felt like I'd fallen off a cliff. It didn't help that I had an awful hangover- both anger and alcohol had been messing up my head, and those two things are an awful combination.

Slowly, I stood up, wincing in pain at almost every movement. I shakily made my way to a mirror, and saw the results of what had happened- I had one black eye, which looked even worse considering the hyphemas affecting my eyes, a bunch of cuts and bruises around my face and neck, and a large bruise on my stomach. Add to that my messed-up blue hair and the tear stains on my face, and I looked like some kind of monster. I felt like one, too- I can't believe I did that to (Y/N)... Still... Maybe some good can come from this. She obviously deserved better than me- even if I did love her...

I shook my head and just looked for my painkillers. I'd sort out what to do later, right now I needed to try to get rid of this headache...

(Your POV)

I still can't believe he did this to me... And all because he thought I was with Murdoc...? I thought he knew I would never cheat on him...

I thought he would never cheat on me...

I did feel bad for how I responded, though. Clearly he already was upset with me, or he wouldn't have done that, but... now he must hate me for sure. Still, I can't undo what happened in the past.

Question is, what do I do now...? I know after how he stood up for me, Murdoc was still my friend. What about Russel and Noodle? I didn't want anyone having to explain any of this to her... and Russel... He did seem like a nice guy. Still, we didn't get to know each other that well. What if he took 2D's side and hated me too because I left him and got him hurt?

I sighed, sitting on the floor of my room and looking up at Pebble's birdcage. Pebble is what I named the parakeet- I liked the name River, but it didn't seem to suit the green and yellow bird. So, Pebble it is. I've found it's quite relaxing to just watch her hop around and chirp; she seems quite a bit healthier lately.

I decided to just stay at home today. There was no reason to leave the house.

(Murdoc's POV)

I was just trying to get some peace and quiet when Russel violently swung open my bedroom door. "Ever heard of knocking?" I asked with a scowl on my face. Russel glared at me. "Got any good reason why 2D is covered in bruises and cuts?" A slight smirk came to my face, but there wasn't much emotion behind it. "Actually, Russ, I do. I think you'll agree he deserved it."

(Russel's POV)

I stared at Murdoc wide-eyed as he told me what had occurred just last night. I was certainly glad I got Noodle out of there before she saw or heard anything. "And then," continued Murdoc, "When he asked her to stop me, she told me to keep at it! I don't think those two are gettin' back together anytime soon." "Wow," I said, looking down and shaking my head. "I'm disappointed in him... He knows how it feels to have someone cheat on you." Murdoc nodded along, even though he understood I was clearly talking about what he did before Noodle showed up.

"But listen to me," he said, his tone dropping. "After we've got all the Demon Days songs out, I think we all need to go our separate ways for a bit. We need a break- from all of this."

(A/N: Hey guys! I just realized how long this book has gotten. I think it'll be coming to an end soon... But don't worry, I'll still be writing more Gorillaz stuff, possibly even a sequel to this story!)
