Tweek Runs Away

Chapter 4

By Shadowgate

Tweeks parents signed him out of the hospital Tuesday at noon. Tweek's parents were told to get counseling by police and hospital staff. It was not normal for a parent to bang on a child's door and blame the child for bank account errors that didn't even exist. They were also told threatening to sell their child into slavery was unacceptable.

Mister Tweek said he'd just been under lots of stress "and when I get stressed out I do stupid things to my son."

Heidi and Wendy called for a big party at 7PM at her house. Wendy's backyard was always a bad ass place for parties.

Stan did a cannonball off the diving board. Cartman and Heidi were holding hands.

Wendy walked up to Cartman and said "your relationship with Heidi has really been educational and a maturing experience for you Cartman."

Heidi replied "we came together because the two of us were in pain. It paid off."

Wendy opened a can of soda and sprayed Cartman.

Cartman giggled and said "oh Wendy you're such a bitch."

Wendy laughed then Heidi opened a can of soda and sprayed her.

The party lasted until 8PM. Then all the kids were exhausted and went home.

At 8:30 PM there was a knock on Tweek's door.

Tweek opened the door and saw Craig with a smile on his face. The smile turned serious and Craig nodded before saying "we need to talk."

Tweek puts his hand in Craig's hand and they go for a walk to the bridge in the park. They hold hands while standing against the bridge rail.

Tweek blinked and jerked then said "I know you're very pissed off at me."

Craig replied "you bet your ass."

Craig squeezed Tweek's hand harder.

Craig then went on to say "I realize in this town lots of parents do the dumbest fucking things imaginable. It's a Goddamn good thing that you're getting counseling."

Tweek nodded and then Craig pulled him in for a hug.

Craig said calmly that "running away from home is not the solution."

The two young friends held each other under a full winter moon.
