Chapter 5
-Is He Real?
Nobody took any attention to Sheila's comment, after her luecotomy, she was bound to say anything. But Stan's heart had sunk like a rock when he heard it. He just assumed that it was because of that strange boy he met on mainstreet. Of all things, why was he so set that this boy was Kyle? It was stupid, Kyle was dead, dead and in the ground......
right?
Kenny and Cartman had taken off to a bar after the visit to the hospital, so it was just Kimmy and Stan when they returned to Kimmy's apartment. They sauntered in causally, and Kimmy dissapeard for a moment to change. Stan waited patiently for her to return, and when she did he was struck with a question he was hoping to avoid.
"Hey, why were you so tense after Sheila mentioned Kyle?"
For the second time that day, Stan felt his heart and his stomach collied. Should he tell Kimmy? It wasnt that he thought she wouldnt believe him, he was just afraid to hurt her. Kimmy seemed to be his only female friend these days, and he valued her friendship, like he valued every friendship.
Then again, he might be wrong about the weird kid. He thought he remembered what Kyle had looked like, but it was so long ago, he could be wrong.
"Did Kyle have red hair?" He asked.
Kimmy thought for a moment.
"I think so, yeah, I'm pretty sure. Why?"
"No reason, did he have green eyes?"
"Stan why are you asking me this?"
"Like I said, no reason."
"Yeah, there probably is a reason." She retorted.
"I mean, I was really hurt after Kyle died, you were afraid to even mention the name Kyle after he died. Why are you bringing it up now?"
He swallowed, there was no avoiding this.
"I think I saw Kyle yesterday."
She went pale, her expression fading to surprise and fear.
"What did you say?"
"I think I saw Kyle, walking down mainstreet. He didnt look like Kyle, but it was, I'm sure, he said 'hi Stan' and I had never seen him before."
"Why are you all of a sudden assuming this kid is Kyle if he doesnt even look like him?!" She sounded hysteric.
"Its just, I got this feeling, and what Sheila said..."
"Sheila, is insane! She says all kinds of things! Why are you doing this to me Stan?!" She practically shrieked this.
"You're right, I'm sorry. I've gotta go."
He then got up and left, Kimmy watched him leave. She listened as she heard him walking down the hall, until it faded out of hearing range. Then she buried her face in her hands and cried.
