Busted And Blue (2D × OC)

^^14^^

I felt my breathing become shallow. Just thinking about this situation made me feel so hopeless. Guilt panged through me.

If ... If I had stayed with her... Would this have happened? My heart throbbed painfully and I gripped my chest trying to stop it but to no avail, it kept hurting as a sinister thought came in my mind.

This is all my fault.

**time skip**

The tension was slowly going down but it was still there as we sat in the car and drove to Lucy's wearabouts.

The small chatter in the backseat didn't help much.

Russel and Noodle wanted to know how Lizz knew Clover. Which me and Murdoc already knew. She let Clover stay at her bar when she first came to England. They had kept in contact with each other since then... Which is how I got to know about her... And Murdoc seemed to have found his own way...

We drove up to an old apartment complex. It looked like it was going to break every moment.
"So this is where that bitch has been hiding for all this time?" Murdoc said full of hate and anger.

"How do yeuw know she lives 'ere? "

"She's a common party lion at the bar. We sometimes have to help her back home...
She lives on the fourth floor... shall I follow you in there?" the soft voice of Lizz asked from the back. She reached forward and touched the green man on the shoulder.

'Just a bad hookup huh? sure ...'

Murdoc shook her hand off him. "No, we'll find her. C'mon faceache, " he said giving her the cold shoulder and opened the door while grabbing something on the way out. I followed suit and jogged up to him as he... loaded his gun?!

"M-Murdoc! Are yew really gonna murder her? 'e-'esnt that bet extream?"
I'm not gonna lie, I wanted to kill her myself but actually doing it is... wrong?

"You don't know her like I do... all you need to know is that she's the worst kind of person you can ever come across. I don't know what Puppet have told you, but just know that she's 100% worse then you think she is, " he said as he cocked the gun and placed it in his pocket.

The place was a huge dump as we walked into the lobby. Everything was out of order. Clothes, papers, even people were just thrown onto the ground. then a thought came to mind. This was a crack den...

" 'ey, Murdoc... this place esn't safe..." I tried to tell him but he seemed too focused to get to Lucy to care about the few very peoole, mostly women slowly following after us up the stairs. It was creepy, to say it nonchalantly. One of the closest ones caressed my back with her hand making me flinch in surprise.

Yeah, I want to get the hell out of here as quickly as possible.

"He~y boys... wanna have a good time in my apartment?" one woman asked in the most forced seductively tone I've ever heard as we passed her when we got to the fourth floor.

Murdoc seemed to finally snap out of his focused state and looked at the older woman and the others behind us. I felt more hands on me as we stop.

He made eye contact with me and I gave him a pleading look. He sighed and pulled out his gun a fired a bullet into the roof, startling me. The others shrieked and ran away from us.

"Happy now?"

I gave him a thankful smile. He nodded his head and turned away from me. Murdoc might not look like it but after what happened in the bar doesn't he fool anyone. He's scared and desperate right now. I can say the same for myself...

Clover... Please be ok...

Her smiling face clogged my mind. She was laughing, but no sound came out. Her eyes darted from side to side in a panic. She looked at me and reached out for me to take her hand. Suddenly two arms wrapped themselves around her. Her face was stained with tears.
