Right Here Waiting

By: esmtz

"So, Ms. Cartman is this the little boy you were talking about on the phone a few days ago?" a lady asked as she walked up to Liane and Eric and looked down at him.

Eric's eyes went wide as he looked up at his mom in horror.

"MAM, YOU PLANNED THIS?!" Eric practically screamed.

"I'm sorry Eric, but I've thought about this for awhile now and I know that I can't care for you the way that you should be taken care of. Plus I know you're not happy here in South Park either."

Eric continued to stare at his mom in shock as the lady gave Liane paper work to fill out.

"Follow me little boy. I'm sorry to say that this place is filled so we're going to have to transfer you to the adoption center in Denver." She told Eric as she grabbed his arm and pulled him making him follow her as he looked back at his mom one last time.

Eric didn't know whether to be relieved that he was leaving South Park or scared that he wasn't going to see his mom or Kyle again. Eric's eyes widened as they passed the room where a lot of kids were playing. After a few minutes they stopped and the lady told him to not go anywhere as she left to go register him to go to Denver's adoption center. Eric looked around shaking a little.

'I can't believe my mam just left me here…but then since when did she ever really care about me anyway' Cartman thought to himself sadly 'it's not like anyone's gonna miss me. Kyle said himself that he could care less if I was gone. Maybe this will make him happy that he'll never have to see me again."

Cartman slowly sat down on the floor and sighed.

"Um hello are you new here?"

Cartman jumped a little as he turned and saw that a boy around his age had approached him. He had short red hair almost like Kyle's except his hair didn't stand up like a bush. It was more like Stan's hair and he had bright green eyes. He was wearing a light blue hoodie and blue pants. Cartman felt like he wanted to puke.

'God another fucking daywalker. Almost reminds me of that stupid Jew'

"Yeah….why?" Cartman asked not looking at the boy.

"Same here. You know this place is full right? So does that mean you're going to Denver too?" he asked as he tried to look at Cartman in the eye.

Cartman just shrugged and finally looked at him.

"What does it matter to you, daywalker?"

"That's cool same here," the boy frowned slightly at him then gave him a small smile, "my name is Ron. What's yours?"

Eric was gonna say that it was Cartman, but then he realized that his mom gave him up so that name, he felt, was no longer his.

"It's Eric."

"Nice to meet you, Eric." Ron hesitated before he asked, "you wanna be friends?"

Cartman thought of saying no, but he knew that this boy probably wasn't going to listen to him even if he did say no.

Cartman just sighed.

"Fine."

"Ok, cool."

Ron sat down next to Cartman and smiled at him. Cartman just rolled his eyes and looked away. The lady appeared again and looked at both boys.

"Your ride to Denver will be tomorrow morning very early so I suggest that you get some sleep. The rooms are full so you two will just have to make do with chairs or couches." She told them then left.

"What a bitch. I can't believe she doesn't even try to find us a room." Cartman complained as he slowly tried getting up.

"I know. Do you need help getting up?" Ron asked as he stood and went to help Cartman up.

"No I don't need your help! I can get up just fine!" Cartman said as he finally got up after a couple of seconds.

Ron just sighed and shook his head.

"Dude, you're stubborn you know that?"

"Trust me, you don't know the half of it" Cartman told him as they went to find a place to sleep before it got too late.

"Dude, don't you think that what you said to Cartman was a little harsh?" Stan asked a couple of hours later after Eric and his mom left. Stan, Kyle, and Kenny were at Stan's house playing video games.

Kyle sighed and shook his head.

"No, Stan. Cartman's a fat racist asshole that doesn't care about anyone but himself. I was totally serious about what I said."

"Really so you wouldn't care if he just suddenly disappeared?" Kenny asked raising an eyebrow.

"Of course not Kenny why would I?"

Stan and Kenny exchanged looks. They both had figured out about how Kyle really felt toward Cartman and it definitely wasn't hate. Kyle had saved Cartman's life once when he could have just let him die and every time either Stan, Kenny, or Kyle had sleepovers, Kyle was always talking in his sleep mostly about how he needed Cartman in his life, but neither Stan nor Kenny would dare to bring it up in case Kyle got pissed.

"What you guys?" Kyle asked getting annoyed.

"Nothing, dude, if that's how you really feel…."

Stan winced as Kyle glared at him. He was starting to get really worried about how much Kyle was in denial about his feelings towards Cartman.

"Kyle forget it let's just continue playing." Kenny told him as he went back to look at the TV.

"Looks like fatass just got back home." Stan said as he saw that the car was pulling up in the driveway.

"Kyle, come on dude. Might as well go and see if Cartman wants to hang out with us." Kenny said as he paused the game and both he and Stan got off the couch and towards the door.

Kyle growled slightly as he reluctantly got off the couch and followed his friends towards Cartman's house.

"Hi Ms. Cartman. Can Eric come and hang out with us?" Stan asked as Kyle mumbled something to himself.

As soon as Liane turned the car off and got out, she immediately saw the boys standing right in front of her.

"I'm sorry boys, but Eric is no longer my son."

Kyle looked up with wide eyes.

"What?!" Stan said shocked.

"It's true. I left him at the adoption center, but since it's full he'll be transferred to the adoption center in Denver in the morning." Liane told them.

"WHAT?!" Kyle screamed making Stan and Kenny jump.

"If you boys want any of his things you're welcome to come by any time and pick them up otherwise I'll just throw them out." Liane said as some guy also exited the car and came around and put his arms around her as they went inside the house.

"So fatass is gone then?" Kenny asked.

Stan slowly nodded.

"Yeah it seems so…"

Both boys looked at Kyle worried and weren't surprised to find out that Kyle was taking this the exact opposite of what he had said earlier. Kyle was close to tears as his eyes started to water. Kyle clenched his fists and turned to look at Stan and Kenny.

"We're going after him." Kyle told them.

"What?!" Stan asked.

"How dude? We don't have any way of getting there besides walking and that could take forever. The only adoption center in this town is far away from here" Kenny said.

"Then we'll drive."

Stan and Kenny gaped at him.

"Dude, we're only 9 years old…"

"So?! We've done it before now come on we can take my dad's car since my parents are out of town right now in my mom's car." Kyle said as he went to his house to go find his dad's keys.

Kenny just shrugged and turned to Stan.

"Might as well, dude. Even if we don't go Kyle will still go on his own to find Cartman."

Stan sighed.

"Yeah ok…."

Stan and Kenny quickly went towards Kyle's house to help him look for the keys to the car.

Author's note: Just letting you know that I added a new character in this story. I got the name Ron from Harry Potter because well I didn't know any other good names for a Jew. Yeah he's gonna also be a Jew so yeah…anyway im so glad that quite a few of you are wanting to read this story. At first I wasn't sure if I should post this or make a different one. Another one of my ideas was for the go god go episodes in Kyle's POV how he would be feeling after he found out that Cartman just disappeared. Don't steal this idea of mine though. I MIGHT just make it into a story but idk lol. I hope you guys like this story….
