Sophia scowled her feet were getting wet in the snow, but I guess that is what she gets for wearing shoes with holes in them.
She made her way to Music on Main it was around 2:30 and school had just let out. When she arrived pushing the glass door open she smiled up at freddy who was sitting behind the counter with her feet up.
The song Lose yourself by Eminem was playing, Obviously Freddy was the first to make it to the shift change.
Sophia did not mind, she enjoyed eminem. Jude was sitting next to her unsuccessfully trying to balance a pencil on the bridge of her nose.
Sophia walked to the back and punched in then she noticed something strange about the back of the store.
Bones was standing in front of her, his long hair was hanging in his face and he had bandages around his wrists.
Sophia grabbed his arm and pulled him out into the store showing the other girls what she had discovered in the back room.
Addie jumped over her counter and Freddy and Jude came running from the registers, They all just stared at bones waiting for an explanation.
" I tried to kill myself last night"
" WHAT!!!" Jude screamed startling everyone she was usually so chill.
" My boyfriend cheated on me." They all just stared at him again waiting for him to continue Jude and Sophia both looked angry. Freddy had a motherly look on her face, and Addie just looked blank like she had not processed what had happened yet.
" He left me with nothing, and now I have no one"
" You have us!" Addie said finally coming out of her stupor.
Bones looked at the girls and then sighed turning and going into the music lessons room.
" I can't believe he would try to kill himself, over a boy." Sophie said confused.
" He loved him." Addie said looking sad.
The three other girls seemed to understand the severity of the situation, but sophia still could not figure how one person would make you want to end your own life.
" I don't think he realizes how many people care about him." Freddy said making them all looking in her direction.
" I have an idea!" Jude yelled making her friends look at her again.
Bones walked out of the music room and looked around the store curiously. The lights were dimmed and seeing as it was early evening, it was pretty dark.
There was a table with a pillow on it in the middle of the room and Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven was playing over the speakers.
" I am hear to welcome you all to the funeral of William 'Bones' Porter" Freddy said solemly and he saw them all standing around the table.
Sophia walked over to bones and grabbed his arm guiding him over to the table and laying him down on the table with his head on the pillow.
Addie crossed his hands on his chest and Jude closed his eyes.
" Bones was a great friend of ours, He was loved very much and he will be missed." Addie said solemnly
" Bones I mean William was a wonderful man, he brought an extra bit of light to all of our lives." Freddy said bowing her head.
" I will miss Bones everyday of my life, He was one of my best friends and he was the best guitar player I knew he could rock the fuck out man, almost as good as the late but still great James Marshall Hendrix!" Jude said
" I don't have many people I like, but I liked bones a lot and a spot in my heart with always be empty now that he is gone. He is the one that got us jobs here and without him the store and our lives with never bet he same."
Bones sat up and Addie turned the lights back up, He just stared at the four girls with tears in his eyes. He couldn't hold it back he was gonna start sobbing.
He grabbed Freddy by the front of her shirt and hugged her tightly putting his arm out and hugging Jude as well.
Addie came over and joined the hug as well, Sophia put her hands into her hoodie pocket and just watched her friends as they comforted Bones.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw Reggie grinding the stairs outside, she agreed she would let him so she just sucked in a breath and just walked behind the counter.
When the four broke apart Jude and Bones moved the table back to the back room. Freddy came up to the counter with Sophia and just stood behind the other register.
The bell rang and they looked up to see Stan standing in the front of the store he seemed really nervous.
Jude came out of the back and walked up to Stan not even paying any mind to her friends. She stood in front of him and the two just looked at each other smiling.
Then the bell rung again and this time Wendy entered latching her arm with Stan's and glaring at Jude.
She whipped her head around and began to pull Stan from the store, She turned back to face them right before she got out of the door.
" Stay away from my man Judith!" She said turning with her nose in the air and pulling Stan from the store.
" I'm gonna kick her ass!" Sophia said grinding her teeth.
" Why did he just go with her!" Addie shouted from behind the other counter, but Jude just stood in the same place staring at the door.
Bones walked out of the back room and pulled Jude by the arm into the back with him.
" Come on." he said pulling her and she fallowed him into the music room.
Sophia just smacked her head down on the table, all this drama was giving her a migraine!

The next morning Sophia crawled out of bed and walked over to her brothers room dragging her feet.
She knocked loudly on his door.
" Get the fuck out of bed!"
She then walked back to her room and began to attempt to straighten her hair. She made it slightly less poofy, and pulled in back into a messy bun letting her bangs hang.
She put on her jeans and a black tank top, she walked to her bed and picked up her hoodie putting it on and slipping her feet into her shoes. She made her way down the stairs and grabbed her bag meeting her brother at the front door.
They walked to the bus stop in silence, Sophia was looking up at the sky. It was going to rain today.
When the two arrived at the bus stop Stan and Kyle were talking quietly and Kenny was reading something.
The world seemed to calm to Sophia today something was definitely strange about this day, but she could not put her finger on it.
When she arrived in school she walked to her locker and could here low chatter through the halls.
She heard Heidi and Red say that they felt so bad for Bebe and they wanted to do something to make her feel better.
Sophia turned towards the girls but they just gave her a strange look and continued on their way.
Sophie walked slowly down the halls and then she saw Jude, Stan, Kyle, and Addie all standing by Jude's locker looking at her strangely.
Kyle waved at her to come over to them and she did so. The just looked at her for a moment and then Addie opened her mouth to speak.
" Did you hear what happened Sophia?"
" No why what happened?"
" It's Token." Stan said looking down
Sophia's heart almost leapt from her chest she felt extremely ill all of a sudden she almost couldn't hold down the sick that was threatening to spill all over the floor.
" Is he okay?!" she asked in a rush.
" He's fine, It's his father he had a stroke early this morning." Kyle said quietly.
Sophia did not take anytime to think she just moved on her way out of the front doors of the school and towards hells pass hospital.
She passed Bebe on the way who was talking to a big group of students in an over dramatic voice about how upset she was for Token.
She also passed her brother who she handed her school bag to as she passed him not stopping to explain what it was she was doing.
Sophia broke into a sprint once she was out of the school, she could not figure out what she was doing or feeling but she knew she had to get to Token now.
She ran in the rain all the way to Hell's Pass hospital and when inside she asked for Mr. Black and was given his ICU room number.
She took the stairs because the elevator would take to long, she made her way to the room and she just stood outside of the window to look into the room watching as Mrs. Black cried over her husband holding his hand.
Token was standing behind his mother with his hands on her shoulders. He looked up and saw Sophia standing outside of the room.
He gave his mother a kiss on the cheek and began to make his way out of the room slowly and quietly.
When out in the hall way Sophia and Token simply stared at one another for a good amount of time.
Then Sophia moved forward and wrapped her arms around Tokens torso burying her face in his shoulder.
He put is arms around her as well and the two just hugged each other, Sophia could hear Token's breath begin to hitch in his chest but for some reason it did not feel awkward like it did when others cried around her.
" I'm so sorry Token."
He just gripped her tighter and she could feel his tears in her hair, she wrapped her arms tighter as well they stood like that for at least 15 minutes and then they pulled apart.
" Thank you Sophie"
Sophia smiled up at him and wiped the tears from his cheeks.
" I'm going to go get my mom something to drink" Token said walking towards the elevators.
Sophia walked into the hospital room slowly and made her way over to the same side as Mrs. Black. She stood close to her and placed a hand on her shoulder holding a box of tissue out with the other hand to the sobbing woman.
Mrs. Black just looked up at her, " Who are you.?"
" I'm Sophia Cartman, I'm sorry your husband is hurt."
" Thank you sweetheart it means a lot."
Token walked back in and gave his mother a water she began to sip it slowly, Token walked over to Sophia and placed an arm around her shoulders pulling her into his side.
Mrs. Black just smiled at the two of them and the three stood in silence.

It's was around 5:30 on Wednesday evening when a large group of people in south park sat down In the church a casket at the front Father Maxie preaching to the them.
The Marsh's, The Broflovski's, The Cartman children, Kenny, Wendy, Heidi, Jude, Addie, Freddy, Rhiannon, Alice, Christy, The Tuckers, The Donovan's and The Tweaks.
When Father Maxie finished his prayer Token walked up to the front of the room. He looked around the room for a moment and seemed releaved when he spotted Sophie.
" It's right, that today is the first day of winter. It was my fathers favorite season, living in south park was a wise choice for a man with a love of winter. My father with be missed, but when a death comes we all become shaken. We realize that we are not invincable and that death will come to all one day, You need to enjoy the little things. Do what you love, and take care of your family because before you know it, everything can be over.
Be Happy with what you have and don't take anything for granted."
Token walked back to his seat and Sophia heard his mother heave a loud sob, She was balling being hugged by her sister.
Randy Marsh and Gerald Broflovski who were sitting the the row infront of her where saying what a shame it was that a man so young could go so quickly.
When Token sat Bebe latched onto his arm happily soaking up the attention her boyfriends fathers death brought her way like a vacuum.
Sophia could see the grief on Tokens face and she wanted nothing but to make him smile like he did when they were assigned groups in history class.
Many people turned there gazes to her direction she rose from her seat not really thinking before acting.
She crossed the room and walked over to Tokens mother, she knelt down in front of her, putting her hand token's mothers knee.
When the woman looked up at her she just smiled at her and said.
" It's gonna be okay, were all hear for you."
Without warning the woman lunged forward hugging Sophia tightly and sobbing into her shoulder.
People began leaving the funeral and making there way to their cars in order to go to the grave site.
Sophia helped Mrs. Black up to her feet and began to walk her towards her car, Cartman rode with the Marshes and Sophia got in the car with Token and his mother.
Token was driving and Mrs. black wanted to sit in the back with Sophie letting Bebe take the passenger seat.
Sophie was proud of her self she was doing very well with emotion the past two days, she was comforting people wonderfully.
-
It was raining again and the sun was going down as Mr. Black's casket was lowered into the whole made in the earth.
Token held his mother as she cried, Bebe standing next to him obviously disgruntled by not being able to be the one holding onto him.
Sophia stood to the side of Mrs. Black holding her hand as she cried into her sons jacket.
The whole was being filled and the attendents of the funeral were making there way back to their cars.
Sophia stood by the Marsh's car as her brother got in after Stan, Token stood by the drivers side of his car.
The two held eye contact and Sophia gave him a small smile, it was like a question asking for one back.
Token returned the smile and got into his car driving off into the pouring rain.
