What Hurts The Most

By: esmtz

It was now already at the end of the school day and Kyle still never showed up for his classes. Stan started putting his books away and then started writing down the homework assignment. As he was about to leave, Wendy went up to him and smiled.

"Hi, Stan. I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me this weekend." Wendy asked kissing him on the cheek.

Stan turned red and nodded. It took awhile, but Stan finally managed to stop himself from vomiting every time he was around or with his girlfriend, Wendy.

"Sure, Wendy. What did you want to do?" Stan asked.

"Well if you're not doing anything Saturday…I was hoping if you wanted to go see the new Harry Potter movie with me." Wendy said blushing slightly hoping that during the movie she would get her long awaited kiss from Stan.

"I don't have anything to do. I'll find out when the movie starts and then I'll call you about the times."

"Great! I am so glad that we have a new theatre here in town! It's so much better then the one we used to have," Wendy said, "I'll see you later, Stan!"

Wendy left with her group of friends who were giggling including her. Kenny walked up to Stan who had been watching quietly behind him.

"Well, you're going to have to kiss her now, dude." Kenny said.

Stan turned a bright red and turned to look at Kenny.

"What are you talking about, Kenny?!" Stan asked.

"Well, I heard that the new Harry Potter movie had a very special scene in it with Harry and Ginny." Kenny smirked already thinking about going at the same time that Stan and Wendy go just to see what happens.

Stan sighed shaking his head as he left the classroom with Kenny.

"Dude, can't you think about anything else?" Stan asked already knowing the answer.

"What else is there to think about? You just don't know what you're missing." Kenny replied.

Stan rolled his eyes.

'Typical Kenny' Stan thought.

"I noticed that Kyle wasn't here at all today. Is he skipping again or what?" Kenny asked.

Stan growled slightly as he looked at Kenny.

"Keep your voice down, Kenny. What do you think?!" Stan whispered.

"Well, he's just lucky that lately most of our teachers haven't exactly been paying much attention to who's in class."

It was true. Every time that a teacher took attendance they all seemed like they didn't care and they never looked up when they called out a name to see if they were even there.

"You know if Cartman was still here there would be a hell of a lot more excitement than this. I even miss how he and Kyle would always argue and fight with each other at least then things around here wouldn't be so boring." Kenny sighed as they walked out the front doors of the school.

"Fellas! Hey, fellas wait up!"

Stan and Kenny turned and saw that Butters was running to catch up with them.

"W-Where's Kyle?!" Butters asked, "He didn't show up today! Did you guys tell him about Eric?!"

Stan sighed.

"Ok, Butters, first not so loud and man are you paranoid or what. No we didn't tell Kyle. He was sick today so that's why he didn't show up ok?" Stan told him.

"Oh, ok." Butters sighed with relief.

"Butters, you really need to calm down, dude." Stan said.

"Stan, look who you're talking to. Butters doesn't know how to calm down let alone be brave enough to admit to Kyle himself the truth about Cartman."

There was a noise next to the boys making them turn to see what it was since they were still standing in front of the entrance to the school.

"W-What was that?!" Butters shrieked.

"I don't know, but whatever it was it's gone now." Stan said still looking around.

"You know, Butters, you wouldn't be having this problem right now if you would just openly admit that you killed Cartman! Besides if you did a lot of people would definitely consider you their hero." Kenny said.

Stan turned back and glared at Kenny.

"Goddammit, Kenny! Someone will here you! We're not exactly in the most private of places to discuss this!" Stan hissed.

"Oh Jesus what if someone did here us!" Butters exclaimed.

"Well then you won't have to worry about telling everyone!"

"Kenny, just shut the fuck up. You're not helping in any way. Let's just head on home before someone decides to ask why we're still standing here." Stan said.

"Ok fine I'll see you guys later." Kenny said as he walked off.

"I'm really sorry about that, Butters." Stan sighed shaking his head.

Butters was quiet for a few minutes.

"I have to tell them." Butters said all of a sudden looking down at the ground.

Stan didn't say anything. He just looked at Butters sadly.

"What do I do, Stan?" Butters asked looking up at him as his eyes started to swell up with tears.

"I know this is hard, Butters, but…" Stan swallowed, "everyone deserves to know the truth…especially Kyle."

Butters slowly nodded and then went back to look at the ground; tears falling from his face.

"I'll tell my parents first and then Kyle….I'll turn myself in after that." Butters said.

There was a soft whimpering sound coming from the same area that they had heard the noise. Stan and Butters followed the sound from the side of the school to behind it. Both Butters and Stan's eyes went wide as they saw that Kyle was sitting down with his back against the wall with his head in his hands crying.

Author's note: sorry on how late this chapter is. I was supposed to have it done on Saturday, but I didn't do it because I couldn't log on to my account. I'm so glad this story is almost over though. I was getting extremely lazy not wanting to continue it, but I finally managed to force myself to write this chapter. I guess this story was kinda a let down to me only because I didn't receive a lot of reviews like I did before on my other two stories (probably because of school starting or coming up). The next chapter I make will probably be my last one or if not there will still be a few more, but it's finally coming to an end. I will let you all know when to vote on my next story once I post up a new poll on my account (hopefully it will be better). Also on my last chapter where Kyle said 'Please…don't…come back…' I meant for him to mean it like please don't be dead and that he wants him to come back but he just couldn't say it. Sorry I should have worded that differently.
