Don't worry I'm almost done. I say about another two to three chapters. Enjoy!
Chapter 18
"Honey, what's going on?" Sharon asks Stan. Stan sniffles, but doesn't answer Sharon's question. "Stan? Why did Kyle tell me I need to talk to you? What's going on with you?"
"I-I I don't know how to tell you this…"
"Stan, I'm your mother. You can tell me anything." She sits down beside him and gently squeezes his hand. "Talk to me honey."
"Wendy hits me!"
"What?"
"She hits me mom…" Tears are now streaming down his face. "She's been doing it since the summer time."
"But why?"
"Because she thinks I'm cheating on her with Kyle and Red. But I'm not cheating on her mom! I swear I'm not!"
"I believe you. I just can't believe Wendy is treating you like this."
"Well she is." Stan sniffs.
"What exactly has she done?"
"Do you remember when I had that concussion? That was from her beating me up at school. She slaps me, punches me, kicks me, slams my head into walls, and hits me with belts. She's even poured hot water on my back."
"My god!"
"She's the reason I was in a coma. Her and Token both."
"What do you mean?"
"They're the reason I had drugs in my system. They injected drugs in my arm and made me sniff drugs. Wendy slit my wrists and Token slammed my head on a rock."
"They did what? They've been here everyday for the last three months out of concern for you! I can't believe they're responsible for this! I'm calling the police."
"No mom, don't! I don't want them to get in trouble."
"Stan, they could've killed you! I want them locked up!"
"Please don't mom."
"Why not?"
"Because…I-I'm scared. I'm afraid of what they'll do to me if they go to jail." He continues crying. Sharon hugs him.
"You don't have to be afraid. Mommy's here now and I won't let them hurt you anymore."
"Just please don't call the police mom. I'm begging you…"
She kisses him on the forehead. "Ok sweetie, if that's what you really want."
"It is. Oh, and please don't tell dad."
"Why not Stan?"
"He's going to be mad."
"Not at you."
"Yes he will. He'll find someway to blame this on me."
"No he won't."
"I just don't want him to find out, ok?"
Sharon sighs. "Stan, I don't like keeping things from your dad. This is very important and I think he really should know about this."
"Well then can we not tell him now? I want to tell him when I'm ready. Please?" He looks at his mother with side puppy dog eyes.
"Fine baby, I'll respect your wishes."
"Thanks mom."
"Is there anything else?"
"There is one thing…"
Meanwhile in the waiting area Kenny and Red are sitting down watching Kyle pace back and forth.
"I really hope he didn't wuss out."
"I don't think he did Kyle. He would be crazy to do so." Kenny assures Kyle.
"Then why the hell hasn't his mom ran out the room trying to kill Wendy?"
"Maybe Stan asked her not to. You know he would hate for her to get into trouble."
"Where did Wendy and Token go anyway?" Red asks.
"I think they went to get something to eat."
"If they're smart, they'll stay away." Kyle tells them. "Because if I see Token I'll-" Just then they hear Wendy giggling. Kyle turns and sees Wendy and Token heading his direction. Kyle runs towards them.
"Kyle wait!" Kenny yells out as him and Red run after him.
Kyle is now face to face with Token. "What the fuck do you want?" Token asks him.
"You son of a bitch!" Kyle punches him in the face. Token stares at him in shock as Wendy's jaw drops. Token looks like he's going to hit him back, but Kenny rushes over and stands in between the two of them. "Get out of the way Kenny!" Kyle demands.
"Kyle, he's not worth it. Just let it go."
"Fuck that! I'm going to kick his ass!"
"What the hell is your problem?" Token asks Kyle.
"You! I know about what you did to Stan and you're not going to get away with it!"
"Well if Stan had just stayed away from Wendy like I told him too then none of this would've happened."
"She was his fucking girlfriend! If anyone should've stayed away from Wendy it should've been YOU!" He looks over at Wendy. "You're so lucky you're a fucking girl…"
"You know, when you act like this you just prove even more that there's something going on between you and Stan." Wendy informs him.
"I'm looking out for my best friend you bitch! But I wouldn't expect you to know anything about that since the only person you've ever looked out for is yourself."
"Give me a break! I look out for plenty of people. Like my parents, Bebe, Token, and even Stan."
"Bullshit! You've treated Stan like shit for years. I'm glad he finally dumped your ass."
"Oh that's only temporary. Once he's out of the hospital and back to his old self again we'll be back together."
"I don't think so. He's telling his mom everything you did to him and I know she'll never let you two be together after that."
Wendy looks shocked. "He's what?"
"You heard what I said. He's telling his mother EVERYTHING. All the abuse, the lies, the drugs. Face it Wendy, you and Stan through."
She glares at Kyle. "I don't think so." She storms off. She heads to Stan's room and cracks the door open. She hears Stan sobbing.
"I can't believe she lied to you about the baby. That's horrible!"
"I know, she was going to let me believe that the baby was mine."
"That's really sick. How could she cheat on you like that? What if she gave you a disease or something?" Stan lowers his head. "Oh-no! Don't tell me she gave you a disease honey…"
Stan wipes his eyes. "She gave me Chlamydia!"
Wendy bursts into the room. "Stan! Why are you telling your mom that I gave you Chlamydia?" She looks at him teary-eyed.
"You did…"
"That's impossible! I don't have Chlamydia! Maybe you got it from Kyle or Red. If I did have it I probably got it from YOU!"
"I've never slept with Kyle or Red and you know it."
"Stan, I think it's about time you told your mother the truth." She looks at Sharon. "Mrs. Marsh, I'm sure Stan hasn't told you, but he's been sleeping with Kyle and Red for quite some time now. I just don't understand why he would cheat on me like this. I love him so much and would never do anything like this to him." Wendy pretends to cry.
"Mom she's lying! I'm not like that and you know it."
Sharon glares at Wendy. She walks over to her and slaps her across the face as hard as she can.
"OW!" Wendy screams.
"Now you know how my son feels!"
"What are you-"
"Don't play the innocent act with me Wendy! Stan told me everything! How could you treat my son like that?"
"I've been really good to your son."
"You call treating him like a fucking dog good? Slapping him around? Whipping him with belts? Injecting him with drugs? Passing off another man's baby as his? You call that good? You're nothing but trash!"
"Well what about what Stan did to me? He cheated on me with a boy and a girl! I'm sure you would be upset if your husband did that to you."
"Stan would never do the things you're accusing him of!"
"You obviously don't know your son that well…"
"I'll tell you what I do know, you're going to stay away from my son! I don't want you anywhere near him. You're lucky I don't call the police on your ass!"
"Can't I just have a minute alone with Stan? One final goodbye?"
"Absolutely not! There's nothing more you need to say to my son, now get out!" Wendy storms out. "Don't worry honey, you don't have to worry about her or Token ever hurting you again." She wipes away Stan's tears.
"I hope you're right mom."
Out in the waiting area, Kyle notices Wendy approaching near tears. "I guess things didn't go so well." He smirks. Wendy shoves him as she walks by him. "Hey, don't get mad at me just because you got caught."
"SHUT UP KYLE!" Wendy screams as she runs into Token's arms. "I hate him! I hate him!" She tells Token as tears fall from her eyes.
"I know baby, I know." Token tells her as he gently strokes her hair.
'I wonder what happened in there.' Kyle thinks as he turns to walk off.
"Where are you going?" Kenny asks him.
"I'm going to go check on Stan, I'll be back in a few." He walks off as Wendy glares at him.
"He's not going to get away with this." Wendy continues glaring.
"What are you going to do?" Token asks her.
"I'm not sure yet, but let's just go. I don't want to be here anymore."
In Stan's room, Kyle is now standing by Stan's bed. "Is everything ok in here?"
"It's fine honey." Sharon tells him. "He's just a little upset. I'll leave you boys alone to talk."
"Thanks." Kyle smiles as Sharon leaves. Kyle sits next to Stan on the bed. "So what happened?"
"I told her everything. Wendy was listening and she came in and started yelling at me. She thinks I gave her a disease."
"Why the hell would she think that?"
"I didn't want to say this in front of Kenny and Red, but I found out that I have Chlamydia…"
"Are you serious?"
"I wish I wasn't." Tears slowly fall from his eyes. "Wendy told my mom that I probably got it from you or Red, but you and I both know that isn't true. Wendy is the only person I've ever had sex with."
"I know. God, she's such a whore! Well at least you got something that can be treated."
"But I hate the fact that I have it in the first place. This really sucks."
"I know, but you can get past this."
"I don't know if I can." Stan begins sobbing.
Kyle lays Stan's head on his shoulders and strokes his head. "Shh, it will be ok. It will be ok."
Meanwhile, Wendy and Token are getting off the elevator when Wendy notices Randy heading towards the elevator. 'Hmm, I see an opportunity.' She thinks to herself. "Baby, just play along ok?"
"Ok…" Token gives her a confused look.
Wendy throws her arms around Token. "I just can't believe he gave me Chlamydia! I've always been so careful when I had sex with him!"
"It's not your fault."
"I know, but if Stan wasn't sleeping around on me, I wouldn't have gotten a disease." She pretends to cry.
"What did you just say?" Randy looks at her.
"Oh, Mr. Marsh…I didn't know you were there."
"What the hell did you just say?"
"What do you mean?"
"Did you just say you got a disease from MY son?"
Wendy looks down. "Yes…"
"When did you find out?"
"Today, after Stan told me he had it."
"WHAT? He didn't tell me this?"
"He's probably embarrassed on how he got it."
"What do you mean?" Randy raises an eyebrow.
"I probably shouldn't say anything, I've said enough. Let's go Token." She tries to walk away, but Randy grabs her arm.
"You're going to tell me what you know!"
"I don't really know how to say this…"
"JUST SAY IT!"
"Well…Stan has been…how should I put this? Having an affair…"
"With who?"
"Kyle and Red…"
"You're fucking kidding me right?"
"Mr. Marsh, I really wish I was. I was devastated when I found out as well. I was willing to stay with him and help him with his little problem until I found out he gave me Chlamydia." Randy storms off. "Mission accomplished." She smiles to herself.
"Can we go now?"
"Not yet, let's go back upstairs to watch the fireworks." They get on the elevator.
Back in Stan's room, Stan still has his head rested on Kyle's shoulders. "Thank you for being such a good friend Kyle."
"No problem dude. You know I'm here if you need me."
Just then Randy bursts into the room and isn't happy by what he sees. Randy walks over to the bed. "Get your hands off my son!" He pulls Kyle away from Stan.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Stan looks at his father terrified.
Randy glares at Kyle. "You keep your filthy fucking hands off my son!"
"I was just comforting him. He's upset." Kyle defends his actions.
"Yeah I'll bet you were! You're nothing, but a fucking predator. How dare you try to take advantage of my son while he's vulnerable!"
"Dad, he wasn't!" Stan defends his best friend.
"Shut up Stan! You're too naïve to see what's really going on!" He focuses his attention back on Kyle. "Is that how you got him into bed before? Did you take advantage of him while he was upset?" He starts shaking Kyle. "Huh? Is it?"
"You've been talking to Wendy haven't you?"
"Answer my fucking question!"
"Mr. Marsh, I've never slept with Stan before. I don't know what Wendy told you, but I can guarantee you it's a lie."
"Somehow I doubt that, you fucking rapist! Now I want you to get out of here!" He shoves Kyle towards the door.
"Dad stop! Kyle didn't do anything to me." Stan bursts into tears.
"Don't you dare defend him!" He looks back at Kyle. "LEAVE!" Randy has almost pushed Kyle out the door when Sharon comes back into the room.
"What's going on in here? I heard yelling and screaming." She looks at Stan and notices that he's shaking and crying. She rushes over to her distraught son. "Sweetie, what's going on?"
"Dad is accusing Kyle of hurting me, but he didn't!" Stan sobs.
Sharon looks at her husband. "Randy…"
"He's fucking our son! He gave him Chlamydia!" Randy snaps.
"That's not true Mr. Marsh!" Kyle tells him.
"Shut up and get the hell out of here!" He shoves Kyle again.
"Randy wait! You've got it all wrong." She looks at Stan who shakes his head. "Honey, I'm sorry, but he has to know the truth."
"What truth?"
"Stan didn't get Chlamydia from Stan, he got it from Wendy."
Randy looks confused. "What?"
"Wendy is the one that's been sleeping around on Stan not the other way around. Stan never has slept with Kyle."
"Kyle raped him, I'm convinced of that. He even slept with that Red girl too."
"No he didn't. Somehow Wendy convinced herself that he was, but it's not true."
"Somehow I doubt that Sharon."
"Randy, you have no idea how horrible Wendy treats Stan. She was abusing him, that's why he always had bruises on him. It's her fault that he was in a coma. She drugged him."
"I'm sorry Sharon, but I find that hard to believe."
"Well I know that Wendy has always seemed like such a sweet girl, but-"
"That's not it. There's just no way in hell any son of mine would be such a wimp!" He glares at Stan. "Am I right Stan?"
Stan looks down. "I wish I could say you were dad…"
"What the hell is wrong with you? Letting a girl kick your ass like that?" Stan continues to look down. "Look at me when I'm talking to you!" Stan looks at him with tears in his eyes. "You're pitiful, I'm ashamed to call you my son." Stan bites his lip and tries hard to fight back the tears.
"Mr. Marsh, you're really upsetting him. He doesn't need this right now." Kyle tells Randy gently.
Randy glares at Kyle before shoving him up against the wall. Stan screams in fear. "Who the hell do you think you are telling me what MY son needs?"
"Well I know the doctor said that it was best to keep Stan calm so he doesn't relapse or anything."
"I don't give a damn! He'll probably only do it because he can't handle hearing the truth. Now for the last time I want you out of here!" He pushes Kyle towards the door again.
"Fine I'm going." Kyle turns to leave.
"Kyle no!" Stan squeals. "I don't want you to go!" He tries to get out of the bed, but Sharon stops him.
"Stan, don't. You're not strong enough to be up moving around." Sharon explains to him. "You just came out of a coma so you have to take it easy honey."
"Mom, you have to do something. Stop letting dad treat Kyle like this. You know he didn't rape me. He's been nothing, but good friend to me. Please make dad understand that. " Stan is no longer able to hold back his tears.
Kyle glares at Randy. "Are you happy now? Look at what you're doing to your son." He tries to walk over to Stan, but Randy pulls him back.
"Obviously you don't understand English that well. Get the fuck out of here!"
"Randy, please let him stay. It would mean a lot to Stan." Sharon pleads with her husband.
"For what? To give him another chance to rape Stan? I don't think so. I want his sorry ass out of here!"
"Kyle's not like that and you know it!"
"I thought I did, but now I'm not so sure."
"Randy, just let him stay."
"Mrs. Marsh, it's ok. I'll go." Kyle steps in. Kyle turns to leave, but Randy grabs his arm.
"You listen here! If I ever catch you anywhere near my son again I'll have you ass thrown in jail on rape charges, you got it?" Kyle rolls his eyes and walks out. "And tell that Red slut the same goes for her!" Randy yells after him. Randy looks at his son who is now crying his eyes out as Sharon comforts him. "Stop coddling him Sharon! Let him be a man."
"He's been through a lot Randy…" Sharon explains. "Why did you have to treat Kyle like that in front of Stan?"
"I did he sorry ass a favor. If anything he should be thanking me."
"But you have your facts all wrong."
"I don't think so." He looks at Stan. "I meant what said. If I see him or Red near you again, I'm going to have them thrown in jail." He walks out.
"Give him some time Stan, he'll come around." Sharon tells her son.
"I hope so mom."
"Well for now, you need to focus on getting your strength up." She kisses him on the forehead.
As usual, R&R
