I woke up to both 2D and noodle snuggled next to me. The power was back on and u smelled bacon. I stepped out of the tent carefull to not wake any of them up but I failed. They both got up and rubbed their heads. "Mornin" 2D got himself up with noodle following behind him. I walked to the porch and saw that water had flooded the back yard. There were little water bugs and Dragonflies hovering above the water. It was quite a peaceful scene actually. Made me want to write a song. The Dragonflies seemed to defy gravity, swirling around in mid air and hovering over water like that. I got a peice of paper and began to write looking at the scene.
'Gravity on me never let me down gently
Gravity with me never let me go no no
Gravity' I wrote and hummed at the same time.
'I don't pull me down
I don't pull me down on me
I don't pull me down'
I don't pull me down on you'
'I don't pull me down
I don't pull me down on me
I don't pull me down
I don't pull me down on you'
'Gravity on me never let me down gently
Gravity with me never let me go no no
Gravity'
'I don't pull me down
I don't pull me down on me
I don't pull me down
I don't pull me down on you'
'I don't pull me down
I don't pull me down on me
I don't pull me down
I don't pull me down on you'It was a quite short and simple song but I liked it. 2D came behind me with 2 plates of breakfast. "Whatcha writin?" 2D asked. "Nothing really, I wrote a quick song." I handed the paper and he examined it. "This is rad, u mind if I show muds?" "I don't mind." 2D paced to murdoc who was in the kitchen with russle. I followed a few steps behind 2D. "Look at dis song Array wrote." 2D handed the paper to murdoc and he read it with russle hovering over him. Murdoc held the paper up in the air, "THIS IS GOING ON THE ALBUM!!!" Noodle clapped and I blushed. "You wrote that in 4 mins?" Murdoc asked. I nodded and he made an 'impressed face. '
The rest of the day went quite smoothly. Unfortunately the tent had to come down. Noodle was helping me get the staples out of the sheets. 2D was folding the ones that had no staples in them. Murdoc was pacing back and forth for some reason. Probably thinking. Russle had gone to get gas for the geep. We had just finished cleaning up. Noodle joined 2D on the couch and I just stared out the window.
While 2D and noodle stared mindlessly at the tv and murdoc paced back and fourth I went to 2Ds room. I shuffled through my duffle bag. I pulled out some boxer shorts and a black fitted tank top. I changed into those and went to the basement. If you walked far enough back there was a couple pool floaties. I grabbed the tube one. I knew murdoc probably had a beer in his Winnebago. So I cautiously opened it and grabbed 4. 2 for me 2 for 2D. I walked back upstairs casually. 2D glanced at me as I opened the back door with a pool floatie and 4 beers. The back yard had flooded a ridiculous amount, enough to where you could swim in it. I haven't been swimming in a while. I grabbed one beer and popped it open. I placed the floatie on top of the porch where the water was shallow. I sat down. "Shit." I needed a rope to tie to the float so I wouldn't drift way the fuck out. I yet again casually walked through in boy boxer shorts, a black tank top, and a beer in my hands. This time both 2D and noodle looked at me. They didn't say anything though. I couldn't find a rope but there was a dog leash for some reason. It was the kind that stretches out. I walked back outside this time everyone was looking at me. I tried one end around the porch and I had the other part In my hand. "SHIT!!!" FUCK I needed sunblock dammit. I was already out and I didn't feel like moving myself back to go get it. I think they heard my cussing and they all came out and stared at me. "What the fuck Array?" Murdoc asked. I guess I looked pretty dumb. "CAN YOU GO GET ME SOME SUN BLOCK PLEASE." I beckoned at them. Noodle nodded and ran inside.
2D was laughing hysterically now. Murdoc just sighed. Noodle came back in a bathing suit and pool floaties. She handed one to each of the boys. She sprayed her self with sunblock and swam out to me. "Thanks." I sprayed myself. Murdoc went inside to change I presume. "Why do you have a dog leash?" Noodle asked observing my current position. "So I don't float away." I said taking a sip of my beer. "This is great." Noodle laied on her floatie. The scene looked hilarious. 2D and Murdoc both came out in their swim trunks. 2D stood up on the railing to jump in and so did Mudroc. "GO!" Noodle screamed. They both jumped off. 2D canon balled and murdoc dove. I thought it'd be the other way around. We all just chilled there for a good two hours. Russle had eventually joined us. "Y'all look retarded as hell." Russle said before he jumped into the water. About an hour after russel had joined we all got a little tired. 2D glanced at murdoc as we all stepped onto the porch. Murdoc nodded not making eye contact. I didn't think much if it.
Noodle was currently in the shower. I met 2D in his room. He seemed a bit disturbed. "What's a matter sweety?" I placed my hand on his shoulder and he breathed a harder than before. "Honey what is it?" He ignored me. I was getting annoyed now. I wasn't mad at him just ticked off at how he ignored me so blatantly. "Please stop ignoring m-" I was cut off by Stuart's lips crashing into mine. At first I hesitated but then I kissed him back. I melted into his arms. I wrapped my fingers around his wet hair tugging at little knots. It turned into a full make out session. We stopped to breathe. 2D was panting like a dog. I looked at him with a concerned face. "What was that for?" I asked nuging him a bit on the shoulder. He just stared at me. He put his hand on my cheek and lifted me up. "Array.... Murdoc wants to take you to nates." I was shocked. "I know, I know. He says he wants to 1. Get all of the things you left behind, and 2. He wants to get even." 2Ds eyes widened as he saw my expression. "You don' hav ta go if you don' wanna." "No I want to go. I need to. If I don't nate will win in a sense. He may not have me but he has my memories, my possessions. I won't let him win." I said with a wave of confidence. "Will you be comming?" I asked him grabbing hold of his hand. "Yes of course I will." He gripped onto my hand a bit harder. He embraced me with a hug.
I left 2Ds room. I saw noodle in the hallway. She waved and I smiled back at her. I was walking fast, faster than 2D. We both went down to Murdocs Winnebago. He was listening to the radio when I saw him. "Murdoc, 2D says you want to take us to nates. To get even, and my things. Is that right?" I said bluntly. "Wow somebody's feelin' confident." He snickered. "Murdoc don't play, I know what 'get even' means to you and I." Murdoc sat up a bit. "Good, I waz hopin' i wouldn't have to explain to you what 'even' is." He said coldly. He stood up and went inside his Winnebago. 2D and I stood patiently. Murdoc came out with three 22 Caliber pistols. 2D gasped. "We ain't gonna kill him are we?" 2D asked putting his hands over his head. I gave him a look that said 'you know what even means to me' 2D paced back and forth. Murdoc gave me one. "Do u know how ta use one?" Murdoc asked. I took a quick shot at one of murdocs bottles hitting it spot on. Murdocs eyes widened. "I'll take that as a yes." Murdoc pulled out a duffle bag and stuffed the ammo we needed in it. 2D rubbed his temples. I strutted over to him. "Honey, don't worry. Every thing will work out in the end." I reassured him. Murdoc went back into his Winnebago. He brought out a duffle full of different guns. 2D gasped way louder. "Don' worry dullard, I jus' wanna see how she does with each weapon." Murdoc handed me a shot gun. He had arranged a row of glass bottles. I shot each one of them with out trembling. Murdoc awed and 2D groaned. "Array who taught you dat?" 2D asked with his eyebrows furrowing. "My brother." The room went quiet. "Wha-what happened to him?" Murdoc asked placing his hand on my shoulder. 2D looked at me with loving eyes knowing this was a sensitive topic for me. I pulled one of murdocs beach chairs out and sat on it. Same with 2D and Murdoc. I took a deep breath.
"Huh, my brother and what happened to him. Funny because I still don't know what has happened to him. I mean lemme just tell you about him. His name was Richard. We called him rick though. He was 6 years older than me. He was tall and strong. He was real strong. My mom and dad would fight almost every night. No blood was spilt yet. I guess he didn't want me to have to hear the fights. I remeber him taking me up to this abandoned house. We sat on the roof for hours. We adopted that abandoned house. It was like a second home. Right in front of it was a huge field. That's where he taught me to shoot like that. It was hard training, but I never regret wielding that gun. One day my parents got into a fight, blood was spilt and tears fell. As usual my brother and I went to the house, except he told me to stay. He told me 'Array stay. Dad will be arrested no doubt. You need to stay with mom. Stay in the porch.' He said. I didn't listen I stood up and he picked me up and sat me down 'YOU STAY HERE. DON'T BE LIKE ME. BE BETTER.' He said 'wait for mom, wait for me.' He held my hand 'wait for me, I will come back trust me.' TRUST ME HE SAID. I DID I DID TRUST HIM I WAITED FOR 12 YEARS! 12 FUCKING YEARS. EVERYDAY I WAITED AT THAT HOLD ABANDONED HOUSE, EVERY MORNING HE NEVER CAME. I-I TRUSTED HIM HE LIED! 12 BLOODY YEARS OF ABUSE, STARVATION RIDICULE FROM MY MOM. YOU KNOW WHAT RICHARD I WAITED AND YOU NEVER CAME!"
I was crying now. I fell to my knees. 2D rushed to hug me. He held my head in his arms as I sobbed. I could see murdoc faintly though my tears "I- I'm sorry array." I stood up abruptly with tears still rolling down my eyes. "Don't be." I wiped a tear from my eyes. I got my of shot gun. It was locked and loaded.....
"Let's get this son of a bitch."
