Stan

Tweek and most of the others have left a few hours ago. Only a few of our group are still here. Kyle, Eric, Nichole, Lola and myself. The two girls are in a heated discussion with Eric. I make my way into the gym where I'm supposed to meet Kyle. I left him a message to meet me there. Alone. I think Tweek and Craig are right with their plan. But you can't say something like that in front of Cartman. If he knew what they're up to, he would have ripped them apart alive. He has some real anger issuses. No one knows why. They started when he formed this group. That's why everyone is following him without fuss or quibble. Even me and Wendy did. But maybe we can start over as a new group without him. I'm just worried because he has gained a lot of influence on Kyle. And Kyle's too precious. I would never abandon my 'super best friend'. I open the gym doors and Kyle is already there. He sits on the bleachers and I take a seat next to him."How are you?", I ask him.He shrugs: "I don't know anymore. What about you?""Still grieving but yeah..."He nods and looks at me. His green eyes are staring at me blank and deadpan. That's unusual for him."Listen Kyle, the reason I wanted to meet up is because I think we should leave together."He looks at me a slight apolegetic look  flashes up in his eyes: "Sorry Stan. But I already promised Eric I'd hide with him and the plan says two people per house max."At the mention of Cartman's name a loving glaze goes over Kyles eyes. It's almost as if his pupils turn to hearts. Then it hits me, hard. Kyle is in love with Cartman. This is gonna be a lot harder than I thought.

We sit a while in silence next to eachother. When the door gets pushed open both our eyes dart to the figure in the frame. Cartman looks confused at us."What's up you guys?", he asks and eyes me suspicously."Nothing Eric.", Kyles voice is like honey and Cartmans face immideatily softens."Alright. I'm gonna pack our stuff Kahl and then we'll hit the road alright?"I see Kyle nod in the corner of my eyes. He's enamoured with Cartman. I feel sick of this thought, it somehow doesn't feel right. But it adds up with lovers quarrels are the renewal of love. "So... you and Cartman, huh?", I turn towards him and try to put up my best smile."What about us?""You're dating right?", I ask and hope his response isn't what I expect.He sighs: "I think... we haven't really put a label on it... it's so confusing Stan.""I get that. I mean he's been our friend for years and now I don't know...""Look Stan. He really means a lot to me. I would even go as far as saying that I love him-...", before we can continue we see a startled Cartman in the door frame of the gym entrance.He looks aghast at Kyle who just stares at him in shock. Cartman turns on his heel and leaves."Can we talk afterwards again? I need to check up on Eric right now.", Kyle says while making his way out of the gym.

Hours pass and I make my way to my room. I start to pack my stuff. While going through my belongings I find Wendys selfiestick. She used it when we were kids as her superheroe character Callgirl. Now for the apocalypse she had used it as a weapon again. I hold it close to my chest and think of the funny times we had as kids. I put it inside my backpack that's already pretty full stuffed with babythings and Wendys urn, which is just a vase we found with some thinfoil over it. "I miss you so much my love.", I whisper and choke back the tears.After I clear my room from everything of value and take one last glance and leave it. I walk around the school ground and reminisce. Me and the boys had a lot of adventures together on these grounds. Maybe one day when all of this is over our kids can go to school together. I bet Kyle and Cartman will adopt a child if they stay together and same goes for Kenny and Butters. While strolling around the grounds I run into Kyle again. He looks distressed. A crazy look hangs over his eyes."Are you alright Kyle?", I ask with a worry in my voice."I'm fine", he looks at me with this blank and deadpan eyes again, "you know what your dad did right? What he did to Eric? To my Eric?""What are you talking about?", my brows furrow and I look at him confused."Your fathers sect is what I'm talking about. How come you weren't one of the victims?", he spits his words primly at me.My face loses all its color. Cartman must have told him about my father. Now I get what he's talking about."Listen Kyle, I know my father was crazy with his sect. But what was I supposed to do. I was lucky to be at Wendys when all of this started or I would've been his first sacrifice. Kenny told me what I happened and I really wish I could've done something."Kyle remains silent his face still unmoved.Tears start to spill out of my eyes: "Kyle please, come with me. Tweek, Craig and some of the others have found a refuge somewhere. They're not following the plan. Come with me. With us. I know leaving Cartman behind is harsh but please Kyle I can't bear to lose anyone else."Kyles expression softens and he gives me a smile."Don't worry. I'll listen to you. But you have to see that Eric turned the way he is now because everyone abandoned him. Stan I love you like a brother, that's why you won't have to see anyone die again."He holds a gun to my forehead."Kyle, wha-...", I stare at him in confusion."Byebye old friend.", he says as he pulls the trigger.
