Chapter 3
WOW. I CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT MORE FEEDBACK THAN BEFORE. SPECIAL THANKS TO MY REVIEWERS:
Aimee - Thanks for leaving feedback again. I'm glad you love the fic so much, and I don't know whether they will break up for good, cause I have two different ideas as to how it will end. I hope you enjoy this chapter as well, and if you do, don't be afraid to say so.
Leela's Tears - LOL. Don't worry about it. I don't always log in myself. This chapter will be slightly longer, and I hope you enjoy it. Kyle MAY stand up to her, but of course you'll have to read it to find out for sure.
PoisonCherry69 - Here ya go.
RavenGhost - No, I don't think they can. There must be some kind of chemical imbalance or something that prevents them from accepting it. Who's 'she' though? is a guy
Catrina - Welcome to the fandom, newbie. And I'm glad you liked my fic. Keep reading this chapter to find out whether he'll stand up to her or not.
A/N: The last chapter was from Stan's POV. This time, it's Kyle's.
DISCLAIMER: The usual. Only the idea is mine. The song is "Inside Us All" by Creed.
I sigh in defeat, feeling overwhelmed with sadness. I cannot believe that I'd done that.
I'm mentally kicking myself right now.
What had I been thinking?!
Just because Mom didn't approve of gays, I allowed her to enforce her closed-minded views upon me. Had let her end the one relationship I'd had that had actually made me happy. I had broken Stan's heart. Just so she'd be happy.
When I'm all alone
and no one else is there.
Waiting by the phone
to remind me
I'm still here.
The look on my former lover's face had been enough to nearly break my heart. It had taken all of my resolve to not break down in tears right then and there. He had looked so hurt, so sad, that all I had really wanted to do was to hold him, and comfort him. Tell Stan that I hadn't meant it. But I had to force myslf not to. When we had first gotten together, we'd made a pact to face whatever problems that would come our way... together.
Why hadn't I followed it?
Why had I bailed? Why had I ran at the first sign of trouble?
I guess I'm just a coward.
When Shadows paint the scenes.
Where spotlights used to fall.
And I'm left wondering,
Is it really worth it all?
I can hear her downstairs, humming as she prepared dinner. Probably something Kosher. Uusually I'd be pouring into it.
But for obvious reasons, I just wasn't very hungry.
I sigh, trying to ignore the knots tightening in my stomach.
"Stan..."
There's a peace inside us all.
Let it be your friend.
It will help you carry on in the end.
I wish he was here right now. Long for him to hold me, and just whisper sweet sayings into my ear.
"I should never have ended it.... never should've given her the satisfaction..."
We'd made a pact.
The knots became tighter.
There's a peace inside us all.
Life can hold you down
when you're not looking up.
Can't you hear the sound?
'Stan... I love you..." I could hear it all right now. What we had said to each other that first night, after we had sobered up.
'I love you too... I always have, always will..." and I nearly whimper. What had I done?
Tighter.
I can't take any more tightening.
Hearts beating out loud.
Although the names change,
inside we're all the same.
Who says we can't tear down these walls?
I can't take it anymore. The pain and loneliness is too great. My desire is too great.
I needed to see Stan.
Right now.
I reach for my green hat and my jacket, slamming the bedoom door behind me as I left.
:"Kyle, bubbalah, where are you going? Dinner's almost ready."
I look at her, all my old childhood fears coming back to me.
But only for one second.
I'm not going to let her run me or my life any longer.
"I'm going to Stan's."
Her face twisted. "I thought I told you that I didn't want you around him again."
I glare back at her, and then, as I leave the house, I say to her the one thing I had always been afraid to say, but was no longer.
"Screw you."
To show the scars we're covering
There's a peace.
There's a peace inside us all.
Let it be.
Oh, can't it be your friend?
JUST LIKE BEFORE, ONLY BY GETTING REVIEWS WILL I MAKE ANOTHER CHAPTER. FLAMES ARE STILL WELCOME.
