Silent Lucidity

Chapter 2
…..
After listening to "She's Gone" they listened to "Dirty Women" which Stan considered a very uplifting song. By the first chorus Kyle was struggling to back tears. Stan kept thrashing but when the song was over Stan said "that will be enough let's talk Kyle."
Stan walked over to Kyle and put his hands on Kyle's shoulders. "What's wrong Kyle?"
Kyle answered "before you came over I played another song called "I Don't Believe in Love by Queensryche."
Stan said "ohh."
Kyle said "to quote the song Stan 'I'll just pretend she never was real."
Tears start to form in Kyle's eyes and he chokes up.
Stan said "you know Kyle you don't have to pretend because she actually wasn't."
Kyle said "well she seemed real. When we were in that motel room together she came out of the bathroom and I asked her if something was wrong. She said she had butterflies and her hands were ice cold. I held her hands and she smiled."
Stan asked "did you rub her belly and get those Goddamn butterflies out?"
Kyle answered "no I didn't rub her belly because I'm not like Kenny."
Stan and Kyle giggled.
Stan then decided to tell Stan straightforward "you don't have to pretend she never was real because she wasn't she was an ad that was in actual human form. She was a hybrid and not human. When you discovered at the gun show that Jimmy was still alive you knew she was no longer deserving of your trust. Then PC Principal took care of her."
Kyle said "you're right Stan, you're totally right."
Stan added "your best friend Stan is real and he'd love to hold you now in your time of need."
Stan and Kyle hugged tight.
Kyle cried hard into Stan's chest.
Stan said "things will get better. They are getting better and we know it."
Over in a motel room PC Principal and Principal Victoria were in bed together.
PC Principal said "I must say you really are a good person Principal Victoria and you're good in bed."
Principal Victoria said "you're a great guy yourself and I have no hard feelings over you getting my job. I'm just glad the truth is out."
PC Principal said "yes the truth is out."
The End
