Broken: a Sequel

Chapter 21: 2D's POV

   I had my date with Jude tonight. I was so excited. I felt a pit in my stomach. Something was off. Maybe I was just nervous. I had an hour before our date. I decided to go for a drive. I got ready. I put on an outfit that made me feel NOT lame. My confidence was wavering, though. I didn't know if I'd be back so I just put on my date clothes and left.

MURDOC'S POV:

   "Guys, I'm going to get 2D back!" I said, confidently.
"How are you going to do that?" Noodle asked.
"I don't know, yet,"
"Oh...at least you have willpower," said Noodle sympathetically.
"I'm still thinking about my exact plan. I want it to be very well excecuted-hang on just a moment" I was interrupted by my phone buzzing. A notification from Snapchat that Stuart had just posted on his story. Of course, I looked at it. It was a picture of a sign for a housing addition. The caption read "Almost there..."

"Amstet & Rosen," I spoke softly. A light bulb went off in my head.

"Huh?" Noodle asked.

"He's somewhere in that Amstet and Rosen housing addition. Come on. Let's go!" I said as I pulled Noodle by the hand and made her look for Stu with me.

   As we turned at the sign, we drove down the road, examining every driveway for any sign of 2D. My stomach did flip flops as I spotted 2D pull into a house.

   "There he is!" I whisper-yelled and pointed at him.  Noodle and I pulled up behind him and shut the car off. Stuart stepped out of the car and I ran up to him. "Stuart! Stuart!"

   "Murdoc?" He looked at me, surprised as he's ever been. He continued to walk to the front door. I ran up and stood in front of him. Standing between his slender body and the dingy front door. The door was cold but Stuart felt so warm. My heart felt so alive. So so alive. God, I loved him.

   "Stuart...Stuart," I said out of breath, "you're my life, you're my air, you're my water. You're what keeps me going. I've been an absolute fucking wreck without you," tears began to form in my eyes, "please..."

"Murdoc, we'll have to talk later. I have a date right now. I-I'm sorry," Stuart stumbled over his words.

Stuart opened the door and gasped.

"Shit!" Jude yelled as woman jumped off his lap. My heart fell. I fell everything in me sink to the cold concrete below me.

"Y-you said you wanted to get to know me! What the fuck?!" Stuart screamed as he cried. Jude came to the door.

"Look, dude, man up. Last night didn't mean shit. I'm not gay, either. Was just trying something and you didn't even put out soooo," Jude shrugged as he slammed the door and 2D fell to his knees.

My mouth hung open. "Stuart, I-" I didn't even know what to say. The boy just had his heart smashed to pieces. I didn't know what to say the times I did it.
