Here's Chapter 20. I hope you enjoy.
Chapter 20
A few more weeks have passed since the boys came to visit Stan. Stan has made a little progress in that time. He's now able to eat on his own again. He can walk, but he still needs a little help with that. The only thing that hasn't progressed is his memory, which things tend to come and go.
Stan is walking into his bedroom with the help of his mother. "Take it easy, remember small steps."
"I know mom." She helps him sit on the bed when the doorbell rings. "I'll get that." He tries to get out of bed, but his mom stops him.
"Oh no you don't! The doctor said don't push yourself or else you paralyze yourself permanently. Is that what you want?"
"Of course not. I'm just tired of seeing the upstairs of this house."
"I know honey, but you're doing better than expected. Don't mess it up now." The doorbell rings again. "I will get it." He mom leaves, then suddenly his cell phone rings.
"Hello?"
"Hello Stanley, it's been awhile…"
Stan immediately recognizes the voice. "Wendy. It's so good to finally hear from you. Where have you been?"
"You actually wanted to hear from me?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I? I missed my girlfriend."
"Stan, you dump-" Wendy thinks for a minute. "I mean, that's so sweet. I missed you as well."
"Why don't you come see me?"
"Now?"
"What better time then now?"
"Ok, I'll be there soon." She hangs up. She looks over at Token whose house she happens to be at and smiles. "He doesn't remember dumping me."
"That's a good thing."
"It's a great thing. I mean I thought it was going to be hard to get rid of him, but since he doesn't remember that we broke up now it will be a piece of cake getting rid of him."
"Do you need my help?"
"Oh no, this is something I need to do all by myself. After I get rid of Stan, I'm going to take care of both of his lovers as well."
"Good luck baby." They kiss as she heads off.
Meanwhile, back at Stan's house, Stan's mother comes in his room to find him of bed. "Stan, what are you doing? You're supposed to be resting!"
"I was just going to change my shirt."
"The doctor said don't force yourself to walk yet. Take your time."
"Mom, it's ok. I can walk on my own."
"Don't argue with me Stan, back in the bed." She helps him back in his bed. "You have a visitor."
"Who?"
"Red." She walks over to his door. "You can come in sweetie."
Red walks in carrying a vase of flowers. "Hey Stan, how are you feeling?"
"Hi Red. I'm great except for the fact that my mother is treating me like an invalid."
"You're mother is just trying to look out for you Stan."
"Thank you Red." Sharon steps in. "Stan, you should listen to your friend she knows what she's talking about."
Stan rolls his eyes. "Whatever."
"Red, since you're here, can you keep an eye on Stan for me while I hop in the shower?"
"Mom, I don't need a babysitter."
"Oh yes you do, I can't turn my back on you for a second. You might hurt yourself." She looks at Red. "Could you do that for me please?"
"Sure Mrs. Marsh."
"Thanks sweetie, I promise I won't be long." She moves closer to her. "Please make sure he doesn't get up for any reason." She whispers to her.
"I won't."
"Thanks again." Sharon leaves.
"So," Stan begins, "what brings you by?"
"Well I wanted to bring you these flowers and check on you." She hands him the vase.
"They're beautiful, thank you. Can you do me a favor and put them on my dresser?"
"Sure." She does what she's asked. "So, when are you coming back to school?"
"I'm not."
"What? Why not?"
"Because there's only three months left until we graduate and my doctors thinks it's best that I'm not anywhere where I have to do a lot moving around."
"I see. Are you at least going to be able to graduate on time?"
"Yeah, I'm getting a tutor."
"That's good, at least you won't miss out on that."
"I would have found a way to work that out. I hope I'm able to go to senior prom in a few months. Wendy and I have been waiting for that since freshman year."
"You and Wendy?"
"Yeah, you know Wendy Testaburger, my girlfriend."
'He must have forgot, poor guy.' Red thinks to herself. "I know who you mean. I just didn't think you would be up for prom."
"By that time I should be. I just hope Wendy still wants to go with me."
"Why wouldn't she?"
Outside Stan's house, Wendy approaches carrying a bat in her hand. "I hope you enjoy your last few minutes of life Stan, because it's all coming to an end." She climbs up a tree next to his house until she can see Stan's bedroom window. She looks in and notices Red in the room with Stan. "What the HELL is that slut doing here? That's fine, I'm going to kill her first." She climbs back down the tree.
Back in Stan's room, Stan and Red are still chatting. "I don't know Red, Wendy has been acting kind of strange since I've been home."
"How so?"
"Well she's only called me once and she hasn't been by to see me. I know part of that wasn't her fault. When I first came home my mom didn't want anyone visiting me. But she could've called more and showed me that she cared." He lowers his head.
"Oh sweetie, I'm sure she cares, maybe she's just having a hard time dealing with things." She puts her hand on Stan's shoulder. "Give her some time, she'll come around." Suddenly, they hear the sound of glass shattering. They both quickly turn towards the window and notice a big hole in it.
"What the hell?" Stan ponders. They see the rest of the glass being knocked out with a bat.
"Oh my God!" Red exclaims as Wendy climbs in the window with the bat in her hand.
"Wendy?!" Stan looks on in shock.
Wendy drops the bat and heads towards them. "You BITCH!" She grabs Red by the hair and throws her to the ground.
"OW!" Red shouts as Wendy starts slamming her head onto the floor.
"Wendy stop it!" Stan tells her.
"Get off!" Red tells Wendy.
"I told you to stay away from my boyfriend!" Wendy yells as she starts choking Red. "I'm going to kill you! BITCH! I hate you!" She continues choking her.
"Wendy, stop it! Don't do this! Wendy please!" Stan tries to plea with Wendy.
Wendy continues choking Red as she struggling to break free from Wendy's grip. Red jams her thumb in Wendy's eye then knees her in the gut. Wendy lets go of Red. Red begins coughing as she slowly gets up.
"You guys stop it!"
"Red, I'm going to kill you! You are so dead!" Wendy shouts as she gets up.
"Wendy, stop it!" Stan yells as Wendy grabs the vase of flowers. "STOP IT!"
"You BITCH!" She throws the vase at Red and it hits her square in the back of her head. Red staggers a bit and Wendy runs behind and shoves her into the wall and starts choking her again.
"Oh my God!"
Wendy continues choking Red as she tries to break free. Red elbows Wendy in the stomach as hard as she can. Then she backslaps her really hard. Wendy lets go of her and lowers her head and touches her face.
"Wendy!" Stan exclaims.
Wendy moves her hand and looks as if she's going to attack Red again, but Red punches her in the face knocking her to the ground. Red touches her throat.
"Oh my God!" Stan quickly gets out of the bed and rushes to Wendy's side. "Wendy? Can you hear me?" He shakes her a little, but she doesn't respond. "Red! Look what you've done!"
"You need to get back in bed!"
"Fuck that! Wendy needs me! I think she's unconscious." He shakes her a little more. "Wendy? Wendy?"
"Stan, you have to get back in the bed before you hurt yourself!"
"I'm not doing anything, but trying to wake up Wendy. How can I get hurt doing that?"
"Why take that risk?"
"I'm not taking any risk! I just want to make sure my girlfriend's ok."
"She's not your- oh never mind. I'm going to get your mother." She heads towards the door. Just as she does that Wendy gets up and grabs her arms.
"Oh no bitch! You're not going anywhere, but out of here!" She pushes her towards the window and holds her head out of it. "I will kill you before you tell Stan's mother you BITCH!"
"GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME!" Red screams. Wendy attempts to push Red out the window as Red tries to fight her off. "Get off of me! Stan help me!"
Stan rushes over to them and tries to pull Wendy off of Red. "Wendy stop! You'll hurt her!"
"I'm going to do more than hurt her!"
"Get off of me!" Red shouts as she pushes Wendy off of her.
Wendy is trying to attack her, but Stan is holding her back. "I'm going to kill you Red! I told you before to stay away from Stan and you refuse to listen!" She pushes Stan off of her. "Stan, stop it!"
"No you stop Wendy! Red and I are just friends, she came here to bring me flowers." Wendy tries to attack Red again, but Stan restrains her. "Please Wendy, there is no reason for you to attack her."
"You're not even supposed to be here Red! I remember hearing Stan's dad saying that you and Kyle had to stay away from Stan. I'm going to tell his parents you were here trying to take advantage of Stan."
"You're crazy!" Red tells her as she heads towards the door.
"I told you, you aren't going anywhere!" Wendy grabs Red and tries to push her towards the window.
"Get off of me! WENDY, GET OFF!" Red screams as she pushes Wendy off of her. Wendy tries attacking her again as Stan restrains her again.
"Yeah I think I'll tell them that you were here trying to take advantage of Stan." She pushes Stan off of her again. "STOP IT!" She focuses her attention back on Red. "I tell them that's what you were doing but I caught you. Then you slipped and fell out of the window trying to escape."
"You sick psycho bitch! Stay away from me!"
"I'm going to get rid of you Red once and for all!" She pushes her towards the window again.
"Get off of me you BITCH!" Red yells as she fights Wendy off. She pushes Wendy off. "It's YOU who isn't supposed to be here! You're the one who's made Stan's life a living hell!" She tries to head for the door again, but Wendy grabs her and puts her in a headlock.
"You lying bitch! You know I love Stan with all heart and I would never do anything to hurt him!"
"You're the one who's lying! Stan dumped your sorry ass!"
"If he dumped me then why is he still calling me his girlfriend?"
"You guys, please stop. This isn't getting us anywhere." He pulls Wendy off of Red.
"Don't TOUCH me!" Wendy screams as she punches Stan in the face. Stan looks at Wendy in shock.
"I just LOVE how you show your love for him." Red states as she walks over to Stan. "Are you ok?" Stan doesn't say anything, he just continues to look at Wendy.
"Get away from him!" Wendy pulls Red by the hair away from Stan. "If anyone is going to see if he's ok it's going to be ME!" She looks at Stan. "Are you ok?" He still doesn't respond. "Answer me goddamnit!" She slaps him.
"Stop it Wendy! You're going to hurt him!"
"Shut up slut!" She starts shaking Stan. "Answer me!"
"I remember now…" Stan mumbles.
"What?"
"I remember."
"What do you remember Stan? Do you remember how Wendy use to abuse you?" Red steps in.
"SHUT UP!" Wendy picks up her bat and hits Red in the head with it knocking her out.
"No, she's right. I remember everything you did to me. Everyone has been right all along, I did break up with you."
"It's a shame you had to remember that."
"Why?"
"Well I came here to kill you, but once I got here I was starting to change my mind. But now I remember my main focus. I'm going to have to kill you."
"But why? Why do you want to kill me?"
"You broke up with me Stan and I was devastated. So since you ripped my heart right out of my body I think it's only fair that I rip yours out in return."
"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" Stan screams as loud as he can.
"Looks like your mom can't hear you." She raises her bat as Stan slowly backs away.
"Wendy, you're not going to get away with this, my mother will be out of the shower in a minute."
"Oh good, I have a score to settle with her anyway. You probably don't remember this, but your mother slapped me in the hospital."
"I remember, she was just trying to protect me."
"Well whatever, she can't protect her baby boy right now can she?" She swings the bat, but Stan quickly dodges it. "Stand still and just get this over with!"
"Can't we work this out?"
She thinks for a minute. "Hmm, there is one way you can save your pathetic little life."
"Name it."
She takes her cell phone out of her pocket. "You call Kyle and you tell him you'll never see him again."
"What?"
"You heard me. Call your lover and tell him you'll never see him again."
"I won't do that. Kyle is my best friend."
Wendy glares at him before putting her phone in her pocket. "That was the wrong answer Stan. Now I'm afraid you leave me no choice. I'm sure Kyle will be sad when he hears that you're dead, but his life go on." She looks at Red and snickers. "Who knows maybe him and Kenny can hook up since his girlfriend is dead too."
"Dead?"
"That's right Stan, DEAD!" She swings her bat again, but Stan quickly moves and she ends up hitting his lamp. Stan looks at her in fear. "You know you're doing a little too much moving around. You're going to wear yourself out. So just be still and get this death out of the way."
"I'm not going to let you kill me!"
Wendy laughs. "There's nothing you can do to stop me!" She swings the bat again as Stan ducks. She holds the bat up. "I'm going to get you I swear!" She swings it again as Sharon rushes into the room.
"Wendy give me that bat! Wendy, please!"
"Sharon!" Wendy exclaims as she pushes Sharon into Stan's closet and closes the door. She then pushes his dresser in front of the door.
"Oh my God, mom!" Stan rushes to the closet, but Wendy pushes him away.
"Get off!" Stan looks at Wendy in shock.
"Open the door please Wendy!" Sharon yells as she pounds on the door.
"Any final words?" Wendy asks as she holds the bat above her head. Stan grabs a hold of the bat and him and Wendy begin struggling over it.
"Nobody treats my mother this way!"
"Give me the bat!"
"NO!" They continue to struggle when suddenly Stan's cell phone rings. He looks over at it and sees that it's Kyle calling. "Kyle!" He lets go of the bat and rushes for the phone, but Wendy grabs his arm.
"Touch that phone and you die! Kyle will never know I was here."
"If you're going to kill me anyway, what do I have to lose?" He jerks her arm away and grabs the phone, but Wendy ends up snatching the phone from him and throws it out the window.
"HA! Now you're lover can't come and save you!"
"Stan, get away from her!" Sharon yells.
Wendy picks up her bat. "Now where was I?"
"You're not going to hurt me…" Stan says softly.
"You better not touch my son Wendy!" Sharon yells.
"Wrong Stan! I meant it when I said I was going to kill you."
"Look just let my mother out of the closet and we can all sit down and talk about this."
"There's nothing to talk about."
"Listen to me Wendy, if you lay one hand on my son I will KILL YOU!" Sharon threatens.
"Ugh, can't you get your mother to shut up? She's giving me a HEADACHE!"
"You're going to have a lot more than that to worry about Wendy if you go through with this."
"Yeah, but I will be so relieved to have you out of the way that it will make up for whatever the repercussions are."
"Do you really want to spend the rest of your life in prison?"
"Oh I doubt it would come to that. Token will take care of me. His family has enough clout that I shouldn't have to spend one night in jail."
"Stan, get away from her! Run and call for help!" Sharon tells her son.
"Your son isn't going anywhere Sharon except straight to hell!" She swings her bat again as Stan ducks.
"Open the door Wendy!" Sharon continues to pound on the door. Wendy swings the bat again and Stan runs to his closet door. Wendy grabs him by his neck and starts choking him.
"W-Wendy…" He struggles to get out.
"Stan, what's going on out there?"
"Instead of beating you up, I should've just killed you back when I found out you were cheating. I could've saved myself a lot of heartache."
"I-I d-didn't cheat!"
"LIAR!" She kicks him in his knee.
"Open up Wendy! I demand that you let me out!" Sharon is still pounding on the door.
"Sorry, I can't do that." Suddenly her cell phone rings. "Shit, who could that be?" She pushes Stan to the ground as he grasps for air. She answers the phone. "Yeah?"
"What are you still doing at Stan's? Did you change your mind?" It turns out to be Token.
"I got delayed, Red was here. I had to take care of her first."
"You killed her?"
"I'm not sure, I do know I knocked her out with a bat. She's been out cold for awhile."
"Where's Stan?"
"He's here, alive but not so well."
"I'm outside his house. Bring both of them out here and I'll take you some place."
"Where?"
"Somewhere were you can finish them both off without leaving any evidence behind…or bodies."
"I'll like your way of thinking. I'll be there in a minute." She hangs up. She looks at Stan and sees him struggling to push the dresser away from the closet. She grabs him by his hair and pulls him away from the closet.
"Ow! Let go!"
"Don't worry Stanny, we're going on a little trip."
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see."
"What about my mom?"
"She can rot in there for all I care. Now let's go." She pushes Stan towards the door. "Oh, I almost forgot your girlfriend." She drags Red by her feet out the door. The three of them leave.
As usual R&R please. Thanks. :-)
