The alarm goes off but Murdoc just ignores it, letting it ring. He hasn't gotten any sleep since last night, his mind still racing.

Stuart is his best friend, and he's dating a cheating bitch of a whore, but he also loves her deeply so he'll end up getting hurt.

'Why is it that no matter what, I'm the bad guy?' thought Murdoc.

He sighs to look at his alarm to bring up his fist, smashing the alarm to bits. Stuart deserves a best friend who will always have his back, but Murdoc can't.

If he tells him the truth, he'll get his heart broken, but if he keeps his mouth shut, then Paula will continue to use him.

The Satanist groans when there's a knock on his door.

"Hey Mudsy, come on, we gotta get to school if we want to put those skunks in Ms. Taylor's office." called Stuart.

"I'm up, none got out, right?" asked Murdoc.

"Checked when I got up, still sleeping in their cages." said Stuart.

"Then start putting them in my trunk, I'll be down in five." said Murdoc.

He gets a laugh in return and hears his friend's retreating footsteps. Murdoc sighs more and gets out of his bed to change into a black sleeveless shirt, black wrist bands and faded gray jeans.

Now to get to school and pretend he doesn't know his best friend's girlfriend is a lying, cheating, manipulative bitch.

Grabbing his bag, Murdoc leaves his room to follow his friend to his car. Hopefully Rachel hasn't found the skunks.

*~* GORILLAZ *~*

The day went by fast, actually faster as it wasn't even twelve yet. The skunks had done their part beautifully, spraying their Math teacher in a foul stench.

In her rush, she left the door opening, allowing five skunks to leave and walk around. The principal ended the school day very early and called in pest control.

Murdoc was by his car, smoking as he waited for Stu to arrive. He looks over to spot the bluenette but his guts turned when he sees he's with Paula.

They're holding hands and Stuart looks so happy, even kissing her cheek. Murdoc feels sick, knowing that others have kissed that cheek and done much more to her.

The two hug and Paula looks up to stare at the Satanist. She gives an evil grin with an eye roll but the message is clear.

Keep quiet or he gets hurt.

Murdoc growls at this and watches as 2D gives her another kiss and starts walking towards his friend.

"Sorry about that Mudsy, Paula needed money for the bus to get home as her car broke down." said Stuart.

"You mean the bus everyone takes to come here and head home from for free?" asked Murdoc.

2D blinks to put a finger to his chin.

"She didn't say she was taking the school bus now that you mention it." said Stuart.

Now it made sense why she wanted to keep the relationship going.

She needed someone that was naive but more than that, someone who also had money. With all the money they saved since childhood, especially from the contest they won, he and Stuart had a quite the bit of money saved, split between the two evenly.

And Paula was using Stuart for his share.

"Let's go hang out at the tree house." said Murdoc.

His friend smiles happily at that and gets into the car. Murdoc snubs out his cigarette and gets into the car.

It's silent for the ride, Stuart staring off into space while Murdoc wishes he could launch that bitch into space.

They get to the park and as usual, race to the tree line for their secret base.

"So, what should we play, battle royale or a teamwork game?" asked Stuart.

"Royale, I'm going to kill your fucking streak." said Murdoc with a playful grin.

"You can try, but at twenty-three wins, you will fail." laughed Stuart.

The system set up, the two get ready to fight.

Round one through eight are easily won by Stuart.

"God dammit, this character is rubbish!" yelled Murdoc.

"Nah, I played as him, remember, you just suck." teased Stuart.

The Satanist laughs as they start the next round. As they begin, Stuart nervously looks over to the Satanist.

"Hey Murdoc, when you first had sex, how was it?" asked Stuart.

"Heh, warm heavenly goodness, Stu, you can't get that kind of heat from your hand." said Murdoc.

The bluenette laughs as his character upper cuts Murdoc's guy.

"Why you wanna know?" he added.

"Well, I want to finally do it with Paula." said Stuart.

Murdoc flinches, causing his character to mess up his super move.

"You want to fuck Paula?!" demanded Murdoc.

"Of course, she is my girlfriend, and she's so beautiful, and sweet, she's just amazing." sighed Stuart happily.

Murdoc grinds his teeth as he mashes his buttons. Stuart's first time should be with someone special, not that cheating bitch.

As Stuart goes on about how much he loves her, the raven haired teen just gets angrier. Paula didn't even deserve to kiss the ground Stuart walked on, hell, she didn't even have the right to breathe the same air.

She was just using and hurting his best friend!

"Murdoc, Murdoc, MURDOC!" yelled Stuart.

The Satanist pauses and looks to his friend, anger quickly disappearing.

"What?" asked Murdoc.

"Well one you beat me, killing my streak, and second, you just killed your controller." said Stuart.

He blinks to see the screen saying he was the winner. Then his gaze hits his controller, it was cracked in half with the buttons missing or squashed deeper into it.

It was ruined ether way.

Murdoc sighs to toss the controller away, he didn't feel any better.

"Murdoc, is something, wrong, you know you can always tell me." said Stuart.

The Satanist looks to his friend, seeing the concern and worry on his face. He deserved better, and Murdoc was going to give it.

"Paula isn't a sweet or nice girl, Stu, she's using you for your money." said Murdoc.

This makes the bluenette pause and stare in confusion.

"Huh, what are you saying?" asked Stuart.

The raven haired teen sighs deeply, no going back.

"I had a feeling she was lying to you, remember when you said you heard loud music when you called, well, I know a bar in town that plays loud music so I went there." said Murdoc.

"Wa-was she there?" asked Stuart softly.

Murdoc looks to his friend sadly to nod. He then grabs his phone and pulls up the evidence, showing him.

"I'm sorry Stu, she's been cheating on you, she's the type to find someone naive that she can use as her own personal ATM machine." said Murdoc.

Stuart stares at the photo to shut his eyes.

"Wait, if you knew since yesterday, why didn't you say anything?" asked Stuart.

"She...manipulated me, said that I'd be the one hurting you if I told, and I believed that, but hearing you worship her when she doesn't even deserve to breathe the same air as you, I couldn't let you continue this, especially if it means you doing something as special as your first time with her, you deserve a hell of a lot better." said Murdoc.

Stuart is silent, just staring at his phone. Murdoc is worried, he didn't want to hurt his friend, he doesn't want Stuart to cry.

"You know, I think I already knew she was cheating on me." said Stuart.

"Huh?" asked Murdoc, he already knew?!

"I didn't want to believe it, she's my first girlfriend, but, the way she'd cancel dates, ask for some money for things that made no sense, even when I wanted to kiss her lips, she always turned her head, I ignored all that because I wanted a good relationship." said Stuart.

"You made it a good one for her, but what about you, you are more important than that fucking bitch." said Murdoc.

The bluenette remains silent as he returns Murdoc's phone.

"I'm going to fix it, starting by dumping her ass, she has never even liked me." said Stuart.

"She's an idiot, there is a lot to like about you, Blue bird." said Murdoc.

Stuart laughs and hugs the Satanist.

"Next time you find something out like this, tell me, it'll do no good if you let it go on." said Stuart.

Murdoc agrees and he sits back as the bluenette changed the TV to the DVD and starts up Wicked Scary. Murdoc smiles as Stuart joins him by the bean bag chairs.

They're best friends, and best friends always have your back. There was more doubt, Murdoc was worthy of the title.

Now to kick Paula to the curb and everything would be back to perfect.

A/N: Murdoc finally came clean and told Stuart the truth about Paula...and after a day too. Woo, stupid bitch thinking she was sneaky. What will happen next? Stay tuned and plz review.
