2Doc, a Time Bomb

Chapter 9

2D's POV

I opened my eyes and was instantly blinded by the bright light shining right above me.
Where the hell am I? Am I dead?
I sat up on the bed and looked at the room I was in quickly realising that it was the schools medical office. Well I sure as hell ain't dead.

"Well well would ya look at who's finally awake" said Murdoc

I jumped a mile. Slowly I turned around on the bed to see him sitting with one leg crossed in a chair in the corner of the room. How didn't I notice him?
I tried to back away but forgetting that I was on a trolley bed I fell off the side of the bed and felt my head hit the hard floor. I groaned in pain.

When I opened my eyes I saw Murdoc standing above me. I felt so small towards him which was weird seeing as I'm taller than him.
I thought he was going to hit me so I instantly put my hand above my head trying to shield myself from what was about to come.
When the hit never came I lowed my hands and looked up at him. He looked pissed. He offered me his hand to help me up off of the floor but I knew better than to take it so I just continued sitting on the floor.

"Look Dents I'm not gonna bloody hurt you so would you fucking take my hand already and get off that floor"
Why isn't he going to hurt me?
This is a sick joke isn't it.
I took his hand. His skin feels rough against mine and the warmth of his hand was unexpected to say the least, I always thought that he was so cold towards people and so cold hearted that he was bound to have cold blood, obviously not.

When I was back up on my so called bed I gave Murdoc a questioning look as if to say why the hell haven't you killed me yet.

He glared at me.
"Dullard some shit went down that ya don't need to know about. All you need to know is that we're gonna be spending a lot more time together from now on"
"Wait what? Why on Earth would we do that?"
"Look you don't bloody need to know so just shut up and stop asking questions!"
I didn't dare push my luck so I decided to shut up.

The door to the school infirmary opened and the nurse came in.
"Well Stuart your test results are back, you have several fractured ribs, a slight concussion nothing major, a fractured ankle and a sprained jaw. Hence the limp you'll have and the bandages around your ribs. I've given you strong painkillers so you currently shouldn't be in much pain. You are free to go home however you should rest and do very limited physical activity. Take two of these painkillers every four hours and you should be fine within no time."
She then left the room.

"Right faceache looks like it's finally time to go so hurry up I don't bloody have all day!" He growled.
"Right" i mumbled getting down from the bed. I began walking noticing that the nurse was right, I had a limp. Fucking wonderful. It caused me to walk so slow which was making Murdoc furious. He was so angry that he marched over to me growling something and then picked me up bridal style. It completely caught me off guard.
"W-what are ya doin" I stuttered
"Just shut up. It's quicker this way"
I didn't reply, I just held my arms tightly around his neck, afraid of him dropping me. He smelled like cigarettes and musky cologne. I liked it.

He put me down beside his car and opened the passenger door signalling for me to get in. Why the heck is he giving me a lift. I just got into the car without asking him. The smell of alcohol as I entered the car was strong enough to make me gag. Once he began driving I thought I was going to throw up, he was like a maniac! Speeding like there was no tomorrow! I was petrified.
Murdoc noticed this and chuckled
"sit back and enjoy the ride Faceache" he said whilst turning on the radio, Metallica were playing so he cranked up the volume to full blast. I thought my eardrums were going to burst.
This is going to be a long ride.

We pull up outside my house.
"I'll be here at 8:00 am tomorrow morning so be ready"
I nodded and got out of the car.

I walked through my front door. There was no sound inside the house which meant neither of my parents were home. I was glad as sometimes they ask too many questions. I walk up the stairs to my room deciding that sleeping is the only thing I want to do right now.

The next morning
I had just woken up, it was already 7:50 I only had ten minutes before he gets here. I quickly threw on some clothes, took a few painkillers and brushed my teeth. I then heard a car beeping. Ugh that must be him.  I limped down the stairs which was a lot harder than i thought it'd be, grabbed my bag and went outside to get into that awful car.

"Mornin' dullard"
"Mornin' Murdoc"

The rest of the car ride was silent apart from my occasional whimper because of his speeding habits. Until we got to the school car park and the satanic driver opened his mouth to speak "listen here dullard, we're going to be hangin' around with my mates today. You do not speak at all unless I give you permission to- scratch that you don't do anything without my permission. Understood?"
"I understand"

Wow today sure sounds bloody brilliant. I think whilst we exit the car and make our way into the school.
