The truth about Kenny, chapter 1

"I can't believe you would do this to me y-YOU SLUT!"

I couldn't believe it, my best friend, ever since elementary, and Stan, I loved him! How could they do this?

"Hey calm down, it's not like it's the first time!" Stan is such a blubbering fool, why did he do it, why? I though we were in love!

"Fine, keep him you whore, it's not like he's any good!"

I ran out, I couldn't comprehend what had just happened. Stan and Bebe, it just didn't make sense.

I must have ran right into the road, because all I remembered next was darkness; and then he was there. Kenny stood over me, looking panicked, calling out to people through that damned parka for help.

"Kenny, what happened?" My speech was very slurred, it hurt for me to lift my head. I felt like I had been through hell and back; hey, you never know.

"mmh mh mmmh mmmh!"

"Kenny, put down your damn hood, I can't hear a work your saying!"

"oh, err, sorry. I was saying, you were hit by a car, you're lucky it was slowing down, or you would be seriously injured!" He stood up to call 911.

I sat there, confused. Why was he being so kind? All through Elementary and middle school we were practically strangers, only knowing each other through Stan.

"okay, an ambulance is on the way, do you think you can make it?" He sounded so worried, worried for me.

"Kenny, it's not like I'm going to die!" I quickly shut my mouth.

"Kenny I'm sorry, I forgot about..."

"No, it's okay, I'm over it!" A few years back, in sixth grade, Kenny's dad got involved in drugs. He eventually overdosed. Kenny was heart-broken, not speaking for weeks.

"No I'm sorry, I should have remembered." I felt awful, we just sat there for a few seconds until the ambulance arrived.

"please, let me go with her, I need to know she's okay!" Kenny begged the paramedics to let him come with me to the hospital.

"okay kid, you can sit next to her, make sure you keep her awake!"

"Kenny, why are you doing this?"

"I just want to make sure you make it out alright!"

"But why? You've never spoke to me before, all the years we've know each other, and you've never spoke to me, why now?"

"look, I heard you screaming at Stan and Bebe and I think that Stan's an asshole for doing that to you!"

"well, thanks Kenny, I appreciate it..."
