Sorry for the long wait. Here's Chapter 10!

Chapter 10

Token looks at Wendy. "Wendy, I asked you a question. Are we going to finish this or what?" Token looks at Stan. "Hey, how are you doing Stan?"

Stan looks down. "Great, just great." He mumbles. Token focuses his attention back on Wendy who also happens to be looking down.

"I'm waiting for an answer Wendy."

She looks at him. "Sure, just go back upstairs and wait for me."

Token smiles. "Great." He kisses her on the cheek before heading back upstairs. Wendy looks at Stan who is still looking down.

"I didn't see anything…"

"There was nothing for you to see."

"So why is Token here?"

"Not that it's any of your business, but we're working on a project together."

"So it's ok for you to work on a project with a guy, but if I work on a project with a girl you accuse me of cheating?"

"Are you implying that I'm cheating on you?"

"Well-" Just before Stan can finish answering the question Wendy punches him in the face causing him to fall to the ground.

"How dare YOU! I would never cheat on you! You know that." She kicks him.

"I know you wouldn't. I'm sorry." Stan stands up and touches his face where Wendy hit him.

"What, no tears? No whining about how much I hurt you?"

"I'm going to stop doing that like you asked."

"Good for you, you're starting to become more of man. Now if you'll excuse I have a guest."

"Wendy, what's really going on between you and Token? If you're cheating on me with him just tell me. I won't get mad."

Wendy starts laughing. "Oh my GOD! Could you be anymore pathetic? You wouldn't get mad if I were cheating on you? What kind of man are you?"

"I'm not going to waste my energy getting mad. It's probably my fault anyway."

"Stan, you are such a loser."

"So are you going to tell me what's going on?"

"I already did, I told you we're working on a project together."

"So why are you in a bathrobe and he's in boxers. Plus he kissed you…"

"On the fucking cheek! I'm done talking to you. I'm getting upset."

"Maybe you should tell Token to go home so you can lie down. You're too upset to have company…"

"NO! I'm not telling Token to go home! He's not the one upsetting me, YOU are! Who the hell do you think you are coming over and telling me what to do anyway? You have no right!"

"I'm not trying to tell you what to do, it's just that Token-"

"This is not about Token, it's about you! I'm sick of this and I'm sick of you! Now get bony your ass the hell out of here!"

"Wendy, we really should talk about this."

"There is nothing to talk about! I want you to GO HOME! I have work to do."

"Fine, I'll go." He walks off. He heads to Stark's Pond. He sits down by the pond and sighs. He picks up his phone and calls Kyle.

"Hello?"

"Kyle…it's me."

"Oh hey dude, what's up?"

"Can you meet me at Stark's Pond?"

"Yeah sure, is everything ok?"

"I'll tell you when you get here."

"Ok, I'll see you in a few." The boys hang up. Stan buries his head in his knees and begins to cry. After moments of crying Stan feels a hand on his shoulder. He looks up and sees Kyle standing over him. Kyle kneels down next to him. "What's the matter?"

Stan hugs Kyle and sobs on his shoulder. "Stan, what happened?"

"She's…cheating…on…ME!" Stan says between sobs.

"Are you serious? With who?"

"With Token!" Stan continues to sob.

"Bitch…"

"Don't say that. It's my fault anyway."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because it's true…" He starts to wipe his eyes.

"What did you do?"

"I've never been good enough for her. Now I've ruined her life by getting her pregnant. No wonder why she's cheating on me."

"How can you say that? She's lucky to have you. About the pregnant thing, for all we know she could've trapped you."

"She wouldn't do that."

"I don't put anything past that crazy girl. Regardless, you don't deserve to be cheated on. No one does."

"I do, I always tend to piss her off somehow. Maybe if I didn't do that she wouldn't have to get-" Stan realizes what he's getting ready to say. "…oh never mind."

Kyle raises his eyebrow. "She wouldn't have to what?"

Stan stands up and turns away from Kyle. "Nothing…forget I said anything."

"Stan if there's something wrong with you and Wendy please tell me."

"I can't tell you…I can't tell anyone."

"Why not?"

"It's between Wendy and me. She would be upset if anyone found out."

"How would she know?"

"She would find out somehow."

"Stan, please tell me what it is. I'm really worried."

"I can't, it's really embarrassing."

"Wait a minute…I can't believe I didn't figure this out sooner."

"Figure out what?"

"I know exactly what's bothering you. Wendy's been abusing you isn't she?"

Stan looks down and tries to hold back his tears. "No…why would you say that?"

"Look at me!" He turns Stan around so that he's facing him. Stan continues to look down. "Look at me Stan! Look me in the eyes and tell me that Wendy's not abusing you."

Stan looks at him, but then breaks down in tears. "It's true! It's true! She is abusing me!" He starts crying more than ever.

"How long has this been going on?"

"Since the summer time."

"Why didn't you tell anyone?"

"Kyle, it's embarrassing. I can't tell people I'm getting beat up by my girlfriend."

"I understand. But why did she start doing this?"

"She was mad because I wouldn't have sex with her. That's how it started anyway."

"That's ridiculous. You don't have to have sex with her if you don't want to."

"I know, but obviously I did anyway."

"You shouldn't have done that."

"I didn't want her to keep beating me up. Plus she said if I didn't she would break up with me."

"That is so fucking stupid! You should've let that bitch break up with you!"

"I couldn't. I love her too much. She's my everything."

"You're better off without her."

"No I'm not. I need her. I don't know what I would do without her."

"Well you don't need to be with her if she's going to hit you."

"Kyle she doesn't mean it. She only does it because I make her mad."

"Stop saying that! I'm not going to let you blame yourself for this!"

"But it's true!"

"No it's not! Even it was true, that doesn't give her the right to hit you."

"Well I won't get hit if I stop making her mad."

"What is wrong with you? Why do insist on blaming yourself? Your girlfriend is fucking psycho and you're defending that?"

"Can we not talk about this anymore?"

"I wish I had a mirror right now so you could look at your face. This girl that you love so much did that to you."

"I know…"

"So is she the one beating you too? Because I never believed you would do that to yourself."

"What?"

"Remember when I asked you if you were beating yourself? Well did you tell Kenny that to cover for Wendy?"

Stan looks down again. "I was covering for her."

"But why?"

"I don't want to get her in trouble Kyle."

"I can't believe you Stan. Let me see your back."

"Why?"

"I want to see the damage she's done."

"I can't show that to you."

"Come on Stan, you've told me this much."

Stan sighs. "Wendy did something else to my back…"

"What?"

"She poured boiling water on me."

Kyle puts his hand on his forehead and shakes his head. "Why oh why are you putting up with this crap?"

"I love her Kyle. Once you fall in love you'll understand."

"That's fine if you love her, but you don't have to get beat up. Don't even think about saying it's your fault either because it isn't. I really think you should break up with her."

"I can't. I love her and I want to be with her."

"But what about your safety?"

"I'll be fine. Can you take me home? I'm getting tired."

"No problem, let's go." Both Stan and Kyle are silent on the car ride to Stan's house. Kyle pulls up in front of Stan's house. "I really think you should break up with Wendy. I'm afraid if you don't she'll end up killing you."

"It won't happen. She's loves me as much as I love her."

"Stan, when are you going to…oh never mind. I'll talk to you later."

"Bye." Stan gets out of the car.

"I think I'm going to have a talk with Miss Testaburger." Kyle speeds off to Wendy's house. Kyle arrives at Wendy's house and heads to the front door just as it opens. Wendy walks out along with Gregory.

"I had a really good time babe." Gregory tells her. "Thanks for everything." The two began kissing.

"AHEM!" Kyle clears his throat as the two look at him.

"What are you doing here?" Wendy asks him.

"I'll see you later Wendy." Gregory tells her as he leaves.

"I could ask you the same about him." Kyle states. "I think it's time you and me had a little chat."

"What about?"

"About Stan…"

"Fine, come on in." She tells him as they both head inside.

Please R&R.
