Remember Me Kyle...
Chapter 20- Final Moments
Diclaimer: The best thing about Matt Stone and Trey Parker is that they own South Park.
I think Imma gonna cry. This is it folks, the last chapter of 'Remember Me Kyle..' It's so sad it's come to an end. I just want to say thank-you to all who reviewed and supported me through out this story! You guys are awesome!
Anyways, on to more random rants. So today, when I'm writing this, the episode of South Park on tonight is Chinpokomon. I really want to watch that, more then any other episode right now.
BTW, this chapter is divided into days/weeks/possabily years. Please try to bear with.
Well I think that's enough ranting for now. So, on with the story!

A week later after the events in the last chapter:
KENNY:
I waited outside the hospital room. I just really can't take this anymore. All my friends, (except Tweek and Craig) are in a comatose state. I just don't know what to do with the pain anymore, I really don't.
I tried cutting myself, but the relief only lasted a few minutes before the numb pain came. I say numb pain, because it's like the pain is there, but it's not. It feels pretty much like a bruise or a sore joint or something. That's why I started to kill myself a couple of times, but it's no use. I just keep coming back to live in a world filled with pain almost as numb as the one in my wrist right now.
I walk inside the hospital room and take a look around. All four of my friends are in there. Stan, Cartman, and Kyle have burnt bodies. Cartman and Stan are doing fine on their own, and are excpected to make a full recovery, however, Kyle is hooked up to many machines and has the possiblility of having the plug pulled on him at any minute.
I walk over to where Butters is laying. The doctors said he opened his eyes at one point when I was with Stan trying to save Kyle, but he closed them after a few second and hasn't woken up since. His face looks so peaceful, just laying there with the sunlight shining on him. I take his hand and start to talk to him.
"Hey Buttercup. It's me, Kenny. God you look so beautiful right now, but you have to wake up. I don't want to lose you Buttercup, not you too." I take a deep breath. "Right now, Stan, Kyle and Fatass are in a worse state then you. I hope they get better soon. When Fatass wakes up he'll be going to jail, but I really hope Stan, and especially Kyle, wake up soon. They have to live...together." (a/n: Thank you to - for that last line!)
I looked at Butters face. No movement in his body, no change whatsoever. I start to turn away, afterall, I have to visit my other friends too. Then I hear something.
"Kenny...?"
The voice is really tired and groggy, but I'd reconize that voice anywhere! It's Butters! He's waking up! I run over to the bed. His eyes are fluttering open. I don't really have any idea what emotion I'm feeling right now. I'm relieved that Butter's is awake. I'm happy that Butter's is awake. I'm sad because my other friends are in critical condition, and I'm pissed off at Cartman for causing all this. Okay, so he didn't cause it with Butters, but still!
"Buttercup...I'm right here." I say in a soft voice as I take his hand.
BUTTERS:
"Hey Buttercup. It's me, Kenny. God you look so beautiful right now, but you have to wake up. I don't want to lose you Buttercup, not you too." I can hear my Ken talking. He takes a deep breath. "Right now, Stan, Kyle and Fatass are in a worse state then you. I hope they get better soon. When Fatass wakes up he'll be going to jail, but I really hope Stan, and especially Kyle, wake up soon. They have to live...together."
I listen to his beautiful voice, and his words. It seems that Kyle was saved, but Stan and Cartman got hurt in the process. Kenny was telling me that he died before he could get to Stan and Kyle. I have this strange feeling that this whole incident is going to leave emotional scars on all of us, but Kenny's going to be the worst of them all. I want to wake up and comfort him. I want to make him have one less thing to worry about. I want to help him, I love him. I want him. I HAVE to wake up. I have to call out his name. Kenny! Kenny! Kenny! Kenny! Kenny! Kenny!
"Kenny...?" I managed to say. Great. Now to get to the part where I actually wake up. I can hear someone run over to my bedside, as my eyes start to move. All I can see is black still.
"Buttercup...I'm right here." Says Kenny in a soft, gental voice. He's using my cute petname.
"Kenny..." I say again, just to make sure I'm actually awake this time. Now everything's coming into focus. The first thing I see is Kenny's face. He looks like he's gonna cry. I smile at him. I start to say that I love him, but he give me a big hug and actually starts crying.
"Oh Butters, thank god! I thought I was gonna lose you! I love you Butters! I swear I'm going to protect you for the rest of my life! Thank god, thank god!"
I survey the room. Beside me is Cartman. His body is badly burnt, but it's reconizable. Across the room, side by side, are Stan and Kyle. Kyle looks in worse shape then anyone else in the room.
"A-are they gonna be okay Kenny?" I ask. They're my friends too, and I'm worried about them.
"I honestly don't know." He says in a gloomy voice. "They've been out for a week now. I have a feeling Stan and Cartman are gonna make it, but I'm not so sure about Kyle. He had to go through a lot of crap with Cartman."
I nod. There was something I wanted to tell Kenny, but I couldn't remember what it was. Oh wait a minute! Now I know!
"Kenny!" I yell. Kenny looks at me surprised. "Kenny, Kyle didn't try to hurt himself, did he?"
"No... he passed out from the smoke. Why?"
"This is going to sound werid, but I was with Kyle while we were both unconscience. He remembered something from before, and he said that...well, that he wanted to...to die."
Kenny just looked at me in silence. I don't know if he believed me or not, but right now, I was really worried about Kyle.
"That's not good." Said Kenny, biting the tip of his thumb. "Butters, could you tell me what exactly it was that he remembered." I shook my head.
"No, he wouldn't tell me."
"I see..." Kenny looks over at Kyle.
"K-kyle..." Says a small voice. It's Stan. I can't quite see, but I think he's waking up. Kenny runs over to Stan's side.
"Hey...hey Stan! Are you okay?"
KENNY:
"K-kyle..." I take my gaze off of Kyle for a moment. Stan was starting to wake up. His eyes were fluttering. I ran to his side.
"Hey...hey Stan! Are you okay?" His eyes are open halfway, as he looks at me in confusment.
"K-kenny? I-is that you?" I hold his hand.
"Yeah, it's me. Stan, are you okay?" Stan just blinks and starts to fall back asleep. "No, Stan, don't! C'mon stay with me. Come on..."
Stan struggles to stay awake. I'm trying to figure out how to keep him awake, and then it hits me. Talk about Kyle.
"Stan, you have to wake up. Don't you want to see how Kyle's doing?" At that his eyes open fully and he starts to sit up.
"Kyl-ow!"
"Hold on Stan, you shouldn't sit up just yet. Your body has a lot of burns all over it."
"Kenny! Where's Kyle! How is he?"
"Don't worry. Kyle's in that bed over there. He hasen't woken up yet, he's in critical condition." Stan looks down.
"Kenny? Do you think Kyle will ever get better? Do you think he'll ever get his memory back?" I sigh.
"I don't know for sure if Kyle will ever get better. However, I do know that he is getting parts of his memory back."
"How do you know that?" I really wanted to tell Stan what Butters had said, but if Kyle was already this far gone, then I couldn't tell Stan for fear that he'd break too. I didn't want that. I also shouldn't mention that Cartman is still alive and well.
"I just do."
A couple of months later:
STAN:
I visit him everyday, praying that he'll eventually wake up. So today was like no other day.
"Hey Kyle! I've come to visit." Silence. Of course Kyle's not gonna talk back, he's been asleep for about 3 months now, or at least it will be 3 months after this week. I smile at him and take his hand. His burns, cuts and bruises on his body have gone away, only leaving a few scars on him pale skin. I really hope he wakes up soon.
I know everything that happened from the day I tried to rescue him. Apperently when Butters and Kyle both had OBE's, they had talked and Kyle had remembered something from his past, though he wouldn't say what it was. Kyle had also said that he deserved to die and wanted to. I'll admit that part worries me a lot. That might be the reason why he won't wake up, at least that's what Kenny says.
Since the accident, I found out that Cartman is alive, but thankfully, he's been put in jail for 10 years. After that, his mom and him are moving to New Jersey, which will just be more punishment for Cartman, because he hates New Jersery. I think he desrves it. 10 years is not enough.
Also, Butters is all good and stuff now, and is happily with Kenny. The two are gonna get married in the future, because Kenny wants to be by Butter's side forever to protect him. Craig and Tweek are still going strong, although because of what Cratman did to Tweek, Tweek has had to go for psychological conselling. Craig probaly would've killed Cartman if he ever got the chance to. Then again, so would I.
It's getting late now and I have to go home so I give Kyle a kiss good-bye and leave, promising to visit the next day.

The phone was ringing. Shelly went to answer it. After a few moments, Shelly called out to me.
"Hey, turd! Phone!"
I got up off the couch and walked to the kitchen, thinking that it was probaly just Kenny again. I take the phone from my sister and put it up to my ear.
"Hello? This is Stan. Oh, Ike, what's up? huh? What? Alright, I'll be right there!

Y'know, I've decided to just split this into two parts. It's a really loooonnnnngggg chapter.
BTW, Sorry for taking so long with this chapter! I've been meaning to finish this sooner and stuff, but I got desitracted by watching Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. It's a good anime, and now I wanna play the Visual Novels. Actually, I want to make my own game, cuz I got a game maker on my computer.
Anyways... this dividing the chapters was a last minute thing. But don't worry, I'm going to post the next chapter ASAP.
Until then!
