Chapter 25

Katie, Craig, and I are in the waiting area. Katie is holding Kirby who hasn't stopped crying since we left the house, Craig is glaring at me, and I'm looking at my blood stained hands. Oh man does this look bad. I look at Craig and he's shaking his head at me. "Damn, you killed him…" He whispers.

"Please Craig, not now…" I reply softly. I can't deal with the guilt right now. I notice Stan and Kyle approaching us. I run up to Stan and hug him. "Stan, it's awful! It's really awful!" I cry in his arms.

"Shh!" He strokes my hair. "Tell me what happened."

"He killed his dad that's what happened!" Craig steps in.

"Shut the hell up Craig!" Kyle barks at him. "This is a PRIVATE conversation."

"Well this is a PUBLIC hospital. I was just letting Stan know what happened."

"I'm sure there has to be another explanation. I mean, what's really going on?"

"I would like to know the same thing." We turn around and see mom and Kevin have finally showed up.

"Mom…"

"Kenny, what happened while I was gone? Why are you covered in blood?"

"Isn't it obvious Mrs. McCormick?" Craig asks her. "He killed your husband."

"Shut up Craig! Let my brother tell the story!" Kevin barks at him.

"Whatever."

Mom walks over to me and takes my hand. "Please tell me what happened."

I start crying. "I was watching Kirby like you asked and he started crying and I didn't know what to do to make him stop. After everything else I tried didn't work, I picked him up and he stopped crying instantly. Just my luck, daddy came home. He snatched Kirby from me and he started crying again. He put Kirby down and said I shouldn't have picked him up because I could've hurt him and he slapped me a few times. Then he picked up Kirby and started shaking him and he was yelling at him. I tried to stop him because I knew he was hurting him. After that he threw poor Kirby down in the bassinet."

"Oh my God! My baby!" Mom grabs Kirby from Katie. She starts hugging and kissing him. "Did you get him examined?" She asks Katie as she rocks Kirby. He finally calms down.

"Yes, the doctor hasn't given us the results yet. He does have a few bumps and bruises on his head."

"Oh God! That man…" She hugs Kirby tightly. "What happened after that Kenny?"

"He took me to my room and unzipped my pants. I knew what was going to happen." I see mom's eyes tearing up. She hates hearing about this. "This time I tried to fight him off. So he pulled out a knife. He grabbed my neck with one hand and was holding the knife up to me with the other. I tried to take the knife from him then we began struggling over it. He was squeezing my neck tightly, then I blacked out. The next thing I know, I hear him screaming and I came to and the knife was in his chest." By this time mom is crying. "I'm sorry mom, I'm so sorry." I cry along with her.

"It sounds like it was an accident. You don't have to be sorry." The doctor comes into the waiting area. "How's my husband? Is he going to be okay?"

"He's really weak. The knife went right to his heart and he lost a lot of blood. He's not going to make it through the night."

"Oh no, not my Stuart! Not my husband!" Mom cries as Kevin comforts her.

"You may go in and see him if you like."

"I would." Her, Kevin, and Katie follow the doctor to the room. Craig begins to follow, but not before stopping to say to me…

"You might as well stay here, we don't want you to be tempted to finish him off or anything." He smiles and walks off. I sit down in a chair and look at the ground. Stan sits down beside me.

"Go see him."

"I can't…" I start crying again.

"Why not?"

"Because I'm the one that did this to him."

"Dude, it was an accident." Kyle jumps in.

"I know, but I still can't. He should be with the family right now."

"You're his family too Kenny." Stan smiles. "Now go on." He gestures towards the room.

I head to the room. The family is gathered around him. As soon as I walk in, everyone looks at me. Mom turns back to dad and smiles. "Look Stuart, Kenny's here."

"Get…get…him…away!" He struggles to get out.

"What?" Dad tries to talk again, but he can't get anything out. Instead he points to me, he looks so scared. "Stuart, it was an accident."

"He…hurt…m…me…" He finally gets out. I think I even see tears in his eyes. Suddenly, his monitor starts beeping out of control.

"I should go, I'm sorry." I walk out, as soon as I do, I'm greeted by a police officer.

"Are you Kenny McCormick?"

"Y-yes. W-what can I d-do for off-officer?"

"We got an anonymous call about you stabbing your father." He pulls out handcuffs and puts my hands behind my back and puts them on me. Oh my God, it's happening! "I'm placing you under arrest. I need to take you down to the station to ask you a few questions." I start crying again. I knew it, I'm going to go to jail. I see Stan and Kyle approaching.

"What are you doing?" Stan exclaims.

"Move aside boys, I'm taking him to the station."

"It was an accident, please don't arrest him."

"Yeah," Kyle adds in, "it was self defense. His dad was trying to rape and kill him."

"I got a call saying there was a murder at his house and he's the number one suspect. Now let me do my job boys." The cop tells them.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" That's mom! That sound means that dad has passed away. Kevin, Katie (holding Kirby), and Craig come out of the room. Katie is in tears.

"Dad's gone…" She announces.

"What the fuck is this?" Kevin asks the cop.

"Someone called the police on Kenny." Kyle informs him.

"Officer, it was an act of self defense. Take those cuffs off of him!"

"I'm just doing my job."

"He's fucking 14 years old. Can't you see how scared he is right now? He's a fucking kid, he's not a killer!"

"I'll take the cuffs off, but I still have to take him to the station for questioning."

"I'm getting my mother." Kevin walks off. The officer takes the cuff of me.

"Don't go anywhere." He tells me.

"I won't." I tell him as I wipe my eyes. Stan hugs me.

"What the HELL are YOU doing here?" Katie yells out. We all turn around and see Wendy standing there.

"Not that it's any of YOUR business, but I came to see Stan." She tells her.

"How did you even know he was here?" Kyle asks her.

"I called his mom and she said he went to the hospital and I thought he was sick or something." She glares at us. "But now that I see him, I can see he must be sick in the head. Stan, why are you here with him?"

"We're back together." Stan informs her.

"Have you lost your mind? Did you forget that he cheated on you?"

"He didn't."

"He did, he admitted it to you. I was right there when he did."

"Whatever."

"Where the hell have you been anyway? I haven't talked to you in like a week. What's up?"

"Just leave him the hell alone Wendy. Did you ever think that maybe he doesn't want to be bothered with you?" Kyle tells her.

She rolls her eyes, then she looks at me. "Where did you come from, a slaughter house?"

"No, he killed his father." Craig tells her.

"Craig…" Katie gives him a warning look.

Wendy laughs. "Wow Kenny, now you've added murder to your list?" She looks at Stan. "This is the guy you want to be with? He's a cheater AND a murderer…"

"Shut the fuck up Wendy!" Kyle barks at her.

She walks over to Stan and grabs his arm. "Come on Stan, let's talk in PRIVATE." She tries to drag him, but he snatches his arm away instead.

"Get your hands off of me, you little BICTH!" My jaw drops. I can't believe he just said that to her, I don't think Wendy can believe it either. I look at Kyle who's smiling, Katie also looks as surprised as Wendy does, and Craig looks nervous.

"What did you say?"

"You heard me."

"But I don't think I heard correctly. What is your problem?"

"You may want to stick around." I hear Kyle tell the officer. "I have the feeling you're going to be making an arrest or two after all."

"You're my problem Wendy. I know everything."

"What are you talking about?"

"Stop playing games Wendy. I know about what you did to break up Kenny and me."

"What did she do?" Katie raises her eyebrow.

"Oh you're going to love this Katie." Kyle tells her as he looks at Craig who's trying to sneak off. "Where are you going Craig? I'm sure you want to hear this too."

"You paid Craig to rape Kenny and threaten him so that he would go along with that ridiculous story about the two of them "making love" so we would break up."

"Oh that's so stupid Stan!"

"I agree with Wendy." Katie jumps in. "Craig didn't rape Kenny. In case you haven't noticed, Craig and I are happy and in love with EACH OTHER."

"Kenny didn't think you would believe him, that's why he never told you." Stan tells her. "But you have to believe it. I didn't see the actual rapes, but I caught them kissing a few times…by Craig's force. Craig even admitted months ago that he and Kenny made love all night long."

"When the hell did this so called "rape" happen?"

"The first time was the night you had Kenny stay at Craig's house when your dad got out of jail and the second time was a few days later at school."

"And Wendy paid him to do this." Kyle adds in.

Katie gives Craig a disgusted look. "Baby, is this true?" Craig doesn't say anything, he just glares at me. "Is it?" Craig continues to glares at me.

"Mother fucker, I'm going to kill you!" He runs to me and starts choking me. "You couldn't leave well enough alone could you?" He whispers. "I told you if you told anyone I would fucking kill you!" Stan, Kyle, and the cop are trying to pull Craig away from me, but to no avail.

"What's going on out here?" I hear mom say. The next thing I know Kevin is also trying to help pull Craig away from me.

"Craig is going to kill Kenny." Wendy tells mom calmly.

"Craig, please, not my son, please! Don't do it Craig, he's just a baby…my baby." Mom pleas with me. Finally, the guys managed to pull Craig away from me. I start coughing and I sit down in a chair. "What's going on? Craig, why are you trying to kill my son?"

"Because he's a fucking liar that's why!"

"Mrs. McCormick, Kevin, you missed Stan's story." Kyle starts to tell them. "Craig was paid by Wendy here," he points to Wendy, "to rape your son twice. Kenny overheard them having that conversation."

"WHAT?!" Both mom and Kevin yell. Kevin tries to attack Craig, but Stan stops him.

"He's not worth it Kevin." Stan tells him. Thank you Stan, I don't want my brother getting in trouble for this.

"He raped my brother Stan! He's worth it!" He looks at Wendy. "And you, what the hell is wrong with you?"

"There's a good explanation for this." Wendy tells him.

"This should be good." Kyle smiles.

"Well let's hear it Wendy." Stan directs her.

"Kenny heard a conversation Craig and I were having about the school raping Cartman by suspending him for bullying Kenny while the other guys got detention. I mean, can you believe that? What a misunderstanding." Everyone stares at her.

"Wendy, you're a smart girl, but I think that has to be the DUMBEST thing you've EVER said." Stan tells her. "That doesn't even make any sense. That sounds like some shit Cartman would say."

"It makes as much sense as the ridiculous accusation that I paid Craig to rape Kenny." She looks at me. "How dare you make up a lie like that about me!" She tries to attack me, but Katie pulls her back. She turns her around so she's face to face with Katie. "What the hell do you want, you dirty slut?" She asks Katie. Katie decks Wendy, knocking her to the ground. "Ow, what the hell was that for?"

"That's for what you did to my brother, you crazy BITCH!"

"Hey Kenny, tell Katie about Wendy blocking you in the boy's bathroom." Kyle calls out.

"WHAT?" Katie pushes Wendy down with her foot.

"Get off me!" Wendy yells.

"Katie, get of off her!" I tell her.

"I told you before about bullying my brother. I'm going to make you pay for this." Katie completely ignores me. I pull Katie away.

"She's not worth it Katie, just let it go."

"I agree with Kenny." Stan steps in. "Kenny and I are back together and Wendy and Craig's secrets have been exposed. It's over now." Stan kisses me on the cheek.

"How could you be so quick to forgive him Stan? He lied to you!" Wendy shrieks.

Stan rolls his eyes. "Here we go." He mumbles.

"He told you that him and Craig were making love so if that wasn't true as he claims, then he still lied to you."

"Wendy, I only agreed to what he said because I'm scared of him. I knew that if I told the truth, he would hurt me." I try to explain.

"You have an excuse for everything don't you?"

"Apparently so do you." Kyle smirks.

"I don't want to hear it Kyle! Kenny is a liar and poor white trash! He so doesn't deserve Stan. Not only that, he KILLED his own father. Is this a guy you want to be with Stan? He may get angry with you one of these days and decide to kill you."

"It was an act of self defense, Wendy." Stan tries to explain to her.

"Is that what you're going to say when you kill Stan too?"

Craig looks at the officer. "Why hasn't he been arrested anyway? I made that call for a…reason." He realizes everyone is looking at him. "Shit!"

"You called the police on my son?" Mom asks him. "How dare you!"

"He should be locked up! He's a cold blooded killer!" Wendy adds.

"No, I'm not. Like Stan said, it was self defense. My dad was going to rape and kill me."

She glares at me. "Here you go accusing someone of rape. I swear it never ends does it?"

"It does now." The officer says as we walks up to Wendy and grabs her arms. "Because you're under arrest." He puts handcuffs on her.

"WHAT?"

"I'm placing you under arrest for blackmail and accessory to third degree rape."

"What…?" She repeats.

The officer walks over to Craig and put handcuffs on him as well. "You too Craig. I'm placing you under arrest for third degree rape and assault."

"But…oh never mind." Craig sighs.

"Officer, you can't arrest me for accessory to rape. I wasn't there when these alleged rapes happened."

"You paying Craig to rape Kenny makes you an accessory."

"There's no proof of that."

"We'll get the proof once we take you two to the station."

"You won't find the proof because there isn't any! All of this is Kenny's word. What the fuck is that?"

"BITCH! Will you shut the fuck up?!" Craig yells. "You're going to make the situation worse."

"Let's go you two." The officer says to them as he leads them towards the exit.

"Wait!" Katie interrupts. She walks over to Craig. "By the way, in case you haven't figured it out, we're THROUGH!" She slaps Craig. I can't believe it.

"Have a nice life!" Kyle smiles and waves to them.

Wendy turns around and glares at me. "Expect a visit from Cartman, McCormick!" I gulp. He's left me alone, but once he hears about this…

Once the officer, Wendy, and Craig are out of sight, Stan walks over to me and gives me a hug. "It's over baby." He kisses me on the forehead.

"Yeah…"

"Don't worry about Cartman, I'm not going to let him hurt you. If anything he'll end up where Wendy and Craig are going." He pulls me in a tighter hug.

"AHEM!" We pull apart and see Katie standing behind us. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry for taking Craig's side over you. I guess I was blinded by love."

"It's okay Katie, you don't have to apologize."

"I do. You're my brother, I shouldn't have done that. You could've told me about the rape a long time ago and we could've had this resolved."

"I wish he had told me about it before we went to the school to talk to the principal." Kevin adds in.

"Why didn't tell me?" Mom asks. "Is it because of your dad?" I nod. "Well, he's gone now." She starts to tear up. "I just hope from now on when you have a problem, you'll be able to come to me."

"I will."

"I'm just glad this is over! I think we should go celebrate." Kyle mentions.

"I would love to, but I don't have any money." Mom informs him.

"I'll pay for everyone!" Katie offers.

"Katie, no…" I try to tell her.

"It's okay Kenny. We have a lot to celebrate. You and Stan are back together and Wendy and Craig have been exposed and are hopefully going to spend a long time in jail. Plus we can take this time to remember dad…"

"I guess." I don't know about that last part.

"Well then let's go!" We head for the exit, but I stop Stan.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

I smile at him. "Thank you."

"For what?"

"Thank you for making everything better. You really came through for me. You're my hero. I love you."

"I love you too sweetie." He kisses me, then he takes off his headgear. "I think it's time for me to give you a REAL kiss. We begin kissing, and it's AMAZING! Well that's my story. After everything we had to go through, in the end, we ended up together and that's all that really matters.
