"Oh, God! Please tell me you're not lying!" Kyle yells, jumping excitedly on my bed.
I shake my head and laugh. "No dude!" I exclaim, "You didn't do anything wrong!"
"This is so. Fucking. Awesome!" screams Kyle, plopping face down on my bed.
"Dude, you're acting like a girl."
He turns around and grins. "Then I am a very lesbian girl."
I laugh and whack him with a pillow. I'm glad he's happy again. "So, how are you gonna get her back?"
He turns away in thought for a moment. "I guess I'll just go to her house. Or should I call her? No, girls get all pissy if you ask them something dramatic over the phone. Should I get flowers?"
"Does Red like flowers?"
He laughs. "No," he admits, "She thinks all that romantic shit is gay."
"Why do you even need to give her anything?" I ask him.
"Because… it was really sweet that she cares that much about me, and I want to show her that I care a lot too."
I smile. I love that he's so caring about his girl. I've never really cared that much about Wendy. I'm almost desperate to get a girl just like Kyle's. Except, I do like the romantic stuff.
"…Stan?' Kyle asks nervously.
"What?"
He shakes his head. "No, you probably don't want to hear this right now." He looks away.
Well good job, he just got me curious. "What is it, Ky?"
"Er… well… sometimes I think… I mean maybe I'm… it's hard to say…"
I roll my eyes. "Would you fucking say it already?"
"I… I think… I think I love her."
I look at him strangely. "Well… you should. She's your girlfriend."
"No, I mean, really really love her. I know she's the first girlfriend I've ever had, and I really shouldn't know what love is, but… I just… I feel like I'll never see a girl just like Red again, and I can't imagine myself with any other girl."
I sigh and pat Kyle on the back. "Well, you should get going then, you have a woman to win!"
KYLE'S POV
I'm humming to myself, and that's lame. I mean, who hums to themselves when they walk down the street? That's lame, man. But I can't help it. Red doesn't hate me, and I didn't do anything wrong!
I'm so glad Stan's friend with Bebe. Bebe knows all. It probably comes from being friends with that bitch Wendy. Well, I know they're not friends anymore, and Bebe's different than the rest of those sluts, but Wendy can rub off on people. I know that from Stan's experiences.
Red's house is in the distance, and my heart leaps a beat. All I gotta do is explain everything. Calmly. Don't freak out like I normally do. That's gonna be hard, but I can do it. I know I can. Because Red's the most important thing to me in the world. And I can't live a second without her.
Finally, I'm here. I slowly raise my hand to knock on the door and wait for a few moments. My favorite redhead appears at the door, but she's not like I expected. Her eyes are all poofy and red like she's been crying, her hair's all messed up and in a sloppy ponytail, she's holding a half-used box of tissues in her hand, and when she speaks, her voice is high and stuffy. "Kyle?"
"Red? Are you okay?"
She shakes her head. "Kyle… I… I can't do this.
I walk inside and put my arms around her shoulder, bringing her to the couch we've made out on so many times. "Red, what is it?"
"I… I can't be with you Kyle…"
I shook my head. "Don't worry about me, and don't worry about my parents."
"How did you…?"
"Bebe," I answer shortly.
She puts her head in her hands. "Kyle, I've already hurt you enough."
"I know how to fix it!" I say, "I can get a scholarship, and then I'll get into college. I won't need my parent's money!"
She looks at the blank TV in front of her. "And how do you expect to pay for other stuff?"
I smile. "I will handle it."
"And if you don't get a scholarship?"
"God, you sure are Debbie Downer today," I joke. It doesn't work so I put all laughing aside. "I will get a scholarship. I'm really good in school and you…"
"What if that's not enough?" she asks, suddenly standing up, "That's a risk I'm not willing to let you take!"
I stand up too, just to match her. "What if I'm willing to take it?"
"I'm not a good reason to do so! Kyle, if you stay with me, it'll ruin your entire life!"
"I don't care!"
"I do!" she says, her voice pretty high now.
I shake my head again. "The only thing that will ruin my entire life is not being with you."
She pauses and then looks down. "That's not true," she says, and I look at her intently. "One day, you'll find a girl that your parents will love and who won't hold you back."
"But… Red… I love you! I don't love anyone else, and I never will!"
"You don't know that," she replies, "you can't see that far into the future."
"Neither can you." She doesn't respond at all, and I look into her eyes. "What's life if we're not willing to take a few chances? Nothing will ever be perfect, but we gotta live our lives as best we can!"
"You can't live your life as best you can with me."
I feel tears in my eyes. "I can! Please, Red! I can! I love you so much!"
"I love you too," Red says, "And that's why I can't be with you."
And with that, she leaves the room, leaving me with a hint shaped like a wide open door.
It be here! Chappy 10! I actually like this chapter. I mean sure, it's a bit over dramatic, but I liked getting some of Red's personality out there, along with some Kyle/Red not interfered with Stan/Wendy, or Stendy. What's Kyle/Red called. Ked? Ryle? Rele? I don't know, but Red isn't that common of a character anyway.
And I must point out that Kyle is my favorite character, and I hardly write fics mostly about Stan, so this is rareish. But it's fun to write about Stan just cause he's so whiny and over emotional! Kyle's always cool. Anyway, I love you guys, and I know you love the review button!
