I am in the middle of working on my 3rd book. New characters, new plot, and based on my recent heartbreak. I am pretty excited about writing this book. It is helping me to get over Kyle. He has made many attempts to call me but I was not answering my phone. He even flew out here one weekend to see the final touches on his house and I left for the weekend since I knew he was coming thanks to Kenny giving me a heads up. It is ridiculous that it has even come to this.
I am actually comfortable on my sofa wishing spring would get here sooner. I almost wish I got a fire place in this townhouse now it is so cold. Pretty typical of March in South Park. I have the TV on as I am typing. I had it on the local news channel but they are currently rerunning old episodes of the Simpsons. I hear my phone ringing.
"Hey," I say seeing that it is Kenny.
"Stan! There has been accident."
"What do you mean an accident?" I ask sitting up on the coach.
"It's Kyle. He was in accident. I think it is bad. They won't even tell us anything!" Oh god."
"Is he alive?" I cried.
"We don't know for sure but I think he is. Like fucking Catherine is not here yet. Her ass was out of town." I don't even know what to do. I want to so badly go out there and see him. I am crying as I am thinking over my options, I can hear Kenny crying as well. "Man I don't know what I will do if we lose him."
"Stop talking like that," I snapped. "He is going to be okay." I hear my line beeping and I see that it is Craig. "Kenny, Craig is calling me. Call me back when you get an update on Kyle." I clicked over.
"I'm so sorry Stan. Kyle was in a car accident."
"I know," I sniffle. "Kenny just told me. He is at the hospital and they are not telling him anything. Catherine is out of town and I don't know if she is on her way back or not."
"Doesn't matter," replied Craig. "We are in the middle of buying tickets to fly out there. Did you want us to get you one?"
"I don't know if that is a good idea,"
"Fuck the bullshit Stan. We don't know if Kyle will be here tomorrow. I am not asking; we are coming to get you within the hour. Be ready." Craig hug up not saying another word. I sat my laptop down and ran to get my suitcase together. I have everything ready in 40 minutes. My laptop is the last thing I always pack. I search Kyle on google to see if there is anything regarding the accident. I feel my heart drop when I see People online has a picture of his car on fire. I proceeded to read the article. Very little news on what happened was in there. They have it as a developing story. I shut down my computer and pack it up.
I am pacing back and forth in my pea coat waiting for Ike and Craig. I am so happy when they get there. I am practically throwing my stuff in the back trunk.
"Are you parents coming?" I asked sitting down.
"Yes," replied Ike taking off. "They caught an earlier flight than us. It was too full for me to get on that one so I made sure Kyle would see our parents first if anything when he wakes."
"Does anybody know what happened?" I asked.
"Not yet. They won't know until they speak with Kyle. I want to know where the fuck is his wife." Ike slams his fist on the steering wheel. Craig rubs his shoulder.
"It's going to be okay," encouraged Craig. "Kyle is a fighter." I can't even think of not seeing Kyle again. I feel bad instantly remembering what I last said to him. I cry quietly on our way to the airport. For the flight, none of us went to sleep. Craig and I went to grab the bags while Ike went to pick up the car rental. We usually have Kyle's driver but as you can imagine that is not going to happen this time. Ike calls Kenny once in the car on Bluetooth through the speakers.
"Kenny, how is my brother?"
"He is still out. Thank god your parents are here. Cat is still not here yet but she is in route."
"Is he alive?" I yelled.
"Yes he is alive but he is not in good shape. He has 2nd and 3rd degree burns on 15-20% of his body." I see Craig cover his mouth in shock. I thought I had no more tears to cry but I did. I start to feel like I can't breathe. "He is resting right now. Visiting hours will be over soon so if you are coming please come."
"You don't have to tell me twice," said Ike. He speeds as much as he can on the way to the hospital. Everything is a daze for me until I get outside of his room. I can see Mrs. Broflovski arguing with Catherine. Kenny and Mr. Broflovski are trying to stop the fight.
"I want you gone!" yelled Mrs. Broflovski. "How dare you leave my son in his time of need."
"I told you I didn't leave him! I was out of town. I am his wife and I reign over you. I should have you removed."
"Nobody is having anyone removed," said Kenny. "Now calm down. Mrs. Broflovski at least she is here. She is here for her husband your son. We should be using this time to pray he has a smooth recovery." He spots us and runs over. "Hey, I am so glad to see you guys."
"I want to talk to the doctor," states Ike.
"Good luck. You would need Catherine approval for them to speak to you regarding his health."
"Oh she will give me approval," said Ike walking over to her. I just follow Craig to go sit down.
"Thanks for coming," said Catherine walking over to us. "Um would you like to see him." I look at her and her eyes are wet.
"Can we?" I asked. "I know he is still sleeping." Catherine lets out a nervous chuckle.
"I like how you call it sleeping. It makes me feel better. Only one person at a time." Craig lets me know I should go first. I can feel my palms sweating as I walk closer to the door. I head inside and the lights are deemed. I can see Kyle hooked up to machines and his left neck, down his side and arm are wrapped. That includes his hand. I break down seeing him in this condition. I pull myself together knowing I don't have much time.
"Kyle," I whisper. "I am here. I am sorry I left you, I am so sorry, please stay. We can be friends or whatever you want." I grab his one that is unbandage and looks fine. "You can't leave like this. We did not make it through all this bullshit for you to go out like this. Remember when you almost died because of Cartmanland. You came back from that. I thought I was really going to lose you. I had to beg the hospital to let me take you to the park." I laugh at the memory. "You got the kidney you needed too. I mean if we can beat that we can beat this okay." I just hear the machines beeping. "I love you Kyle. I am going to be there for you no matter what okay."
I hear a knock on the door. I lean over and kiss Kyle's lips before walking away. I open the door and I see Ike and he is clearly pissed. He walks past me to have his time with his brother. I sit back down next to Craig.
"What happened while I was gone?"
"Catherine let Ike talk to the doctor," Craig pauses. This must not be good. He never gets tongue tied.
"What is it? Spit it out!" Craig takes a breath.
"They still need to speak to Kyle but they think he tried to commit suicide," I feel my heart drop.
"They can't be serious?"
"They have him on camera. No other cars where around. He slammed headfirst into a tree, he is lucky to be alive." I feel like my world around me is crashing. We stay until visiting hours are over. Catherine informed the doctors they could contact her first and then Kyle's parents. Mrs. Broflovski promised to call Ike soon as she heard anything. We go to the hotel within walking distant of the hospital so we are not far from Kyle. I cried myself to sleep knowing how much pain Kyle was truly in.
